Sports / Re: Asisat Oshoala Wins UEFA Champions League Goal Of The Week by adetayoonas(m): 4:46pm On Nov 17, 2023
I think we should change the useless foreign coaches in both men and women teams
How can you bench our best player for one half in a world cup
That’s how foolish peseiro keeps using bad goalkeeper Uzoho ,old Ahmed Musa and division 2 Iheanacho and Joe Aribo. Even Iwobi is not good enough for African football when we have good players

Uzoho is not a good goal keeper
They should look for another goalkeeper immediately or sack the coach if he is he’ll bent on using Uzoho
Even the Eyimba goal keeper is far better

3. Finally someone on level 16 in Nigeria is likely close to or above 50 yrs old. How can someone who has achieved that status in Nigeria go to the uk to become a security guard? What is the sense in that?[/quote]


Any level 15 or 16 are above 50 years already and they have nothing to lose if they leave. Just few years to retirement.
Any banker above 15 years in service should leave. You have how many years to retire or get sacked. Do u even see old people in the bank anymore? If u are 45 years in the bank u become an endangered specie.

SangoOlukosoOba:
The Chinese are very smart! They have studied Africans and are buying into our lapses. Those guys are going to recolonize Africans with debt.


A time will come when we will be so hooked to them and will have nowhere to run to.

Free loans with mad terms! China will give you loan, and still execute projects with same loan, with its own Chinese company.

Let’s be truthful, Africans are dumb!



Africans are not dumb. It's the politicians in Africa that are greedy to collect those loans. Just see the way Rotimii Amaechi was bragging about the Chinese railway loan when convincing Buhari.

They hardly care about the future of Africa.

It's sympathetic

How many of these Chinese railways are totally in use now

Sad sad end.

Too many people are just one more frustrating event away from a total mental breakdown.

If you are currently going through hard times please stay hopeful. With the right level optimism and a steady grinding and hustling, you’ll breakthrough. Yes, you can see your mates and sometimes younger ones doing better, know this and know peace; there are many people who had their breakthroughs in their forties and fifties.

Get up, go out. If you have to do menial jobs, do it. You’ll earn money to feed and sort some bills. People wey you dey fear say dem go judge you no care as you dey hunger and frustrate so why care about them as you dey hustle to push yourself in life.

Stay strong brother, stay positive sister. This shall pass. Believe and push harder, it surely will.

Thanks for this motivation. God bless you.

You just typed the wrong thing above.
Prof Wole Soyinka is the best.
Achebe focused majorly only on books/novel while Nobel laurel PROF Wole Soyinka focused on everything about literature- poems, script writing,plays, poetry, novels, essay, research, introduction of new words in the English dictionary and world encyclopedia. He is the best playwright in the world till date.
Cyprain Ekwensi and Elechi Amadi are even better than Achebe. If you doubt me go and read Elechi Amadi’s The concubine and compare it with any of Achebe’s books. Only Things fall apart came close.

Prof Soyinka wrote many books than all of them which includes
The trials of brother Jero.
Ibadan: The penkelemes.
The lion and the jewel.
The interpreters….written in 1965.
Ake.
Death and the king’s horseman
The man died: prison notes from Wole Soyinka.
The road.
Idanre and other poems.
Mandela’s earth and other poems
Ogun AbibĂ­mĂ n.
Madmen and his specialists.
Chronicles from the land of the happiest people.
You must set forth at dawn.
Of Africa
King Baabu
Collected plays by Soyinka.
Season of anomy. Written from prison.
The open sore of a continent.
Samarkand and other markets.
The strong breed.
Selected poems.
Child internationale
Climate of fear
The credo of being and nothingness.
Cam wood on the leaves.
From Zia with love.
The swamp dwellers
Alàpàta Apáta.
The beautification of the area boy.
Forest of a thousand daemons: A Hunter's Saga · Yoruba title: Ògbójú ọdẹ nínu igbó irúnmọlẹ Written by D.O Fagunwa translated by Wole Soyinka.
The Burden of Memory, the Muse of Forgiveness.
Art, dialogue and outrage.

And so many more books were written by him.

His books were used to set literature in English exam questions even in Cambridge A and O levels exams

He covers all aspects of literature unlike Achebe.
He is just the best.
Obidients and Charly boy has forgotten so soon that this great Yoruba man- prof Soyinka fought for Igbos: He wrote a good deal of Poems from Prison while he was jailed in 1967–69 for speaking out against the war brought on by the attempted secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The Man Died (1972) is his prose account of his arrest and 22-month imprisonment by Gowon for fighting for igbos.

He deserves more accolades and respect. An 88 years old still vibrant and healthy. A great mentor, erudite scholar and philanthropist


We don’t even have any Nobel prize winner in Nigeria except him till date.

Last I checked, Charly boy is over 70 and neither did he address Soyinka as a fool.
Yeah, it is easy for you to address people greater than you as fools or say they are stupid. Obviously, if they are as you say, it means you are the opposite right? You are smart and wise abi?
Anyway as I always say, Nigerians have "mouth". Only in Nigeria will you see a poor man trekking pass a mansion and then say the owner does not have taste, that if the owner had consulted him, he could have adviced him on a better design. Only in Nigeria will you see millionaires discussing business, a job seeker will put mouth to advice them on how to make money.
You that only recently applied for a job as a customercare staff in a mushroom company on the outskirts of Lagos is the same person addressing people obviously more than you as "fools" and "stupid". You really have mouth.

MikeofAfrica:


William Shakespeare wrote the most complicated novels in human history. Only sound students of literature understood the shakespeare's English.

Yet his books recorded a huge success in the world literally market. I was a Science student but I could remember reading Shakespeare's novels while in secondary school. I was later introduced to the edited version of his " Lamp tales from Shakespeare " which was easier to understand.

Hence the excuse that you are giving for the flop of Soyinka's books in the literally market does not hold water. If any of Soyinka books is a masterclass like Things fall Apart, it will be a hotcake in the literally market like Shakespeare books.

Soyinka is a good author but when it comes to natural talent in writing and literature, he is no where near Achebe. What Soyinka has going for him is a more expose knowledge of literature.

This is understandable since Achebe was a medical student before moving into literature. Hence Literature was not his first choice of carrier yet he became the greatest writer in the African continent.

Comparing Achebe and Soyinka is like comparing Okocha and Mikel Obi. Okocha is a more talented midfielder than Mikel but Mikel was more expose than Okocha. Hence Mikel won trophies that Okocha never won.

However even with those trophies, we all know that Okocha is better than Mikel. Similarly, even with the Nobel prize, we all know that Achebe is better than Soyinka.
