But more private individuals need to go into our soccer clubs, we have the population to emulate the EDO dynasty of Japan that focused on intra-trade /domestic trade not int'l/exports.
Make every sports agency go find sponsors, any sport that can't should "go and rest" wise words |

Time for free meals is over NFF must begin to feed itself, a vibrant league will employ so many nigerians in football, media, menial labour, finance etc. it is very interesting that you bring this up because come to think of it, no civilized country pays for sports that happen once in 4 years. they dont pay their athletes one kobo for sports. the athletes are sponsored by companies and corporations like NIKE, ADIDAS, VITAMIN WATER, LUCOZADE, etc etc etc. no sane country dips into its coffers to pay athletes. athletes go and look for sponsors and thats how they survive. so why do these BACKWARD nigerians expect the govt to be paying sports men ? instead of these usless companies in nigeria using tuface and whizkid and banky w etc etc as their brand face in nigeria they should be sponsoring and using our athletes instead. thats what civilized countries do |

somegirl1:
Let me indulge you a bit. I don't have to debate further with you because you contradict yourself and you already know your comment is bull and that's why you started with excuses/ exceptions. If only a small selection of a group is great, how does that small selection make up for the deficiency of the majority?
The "Igbo girl is masculine " comeback is now stale. It is true that some Igbo girls may masculine but they are the exception not the rule.
P.S. Your rating, your business.
a small section of every tribe is great. most naija women lets face it dont look that good lol. they obese, with dog or horse brazillian hair on their head and big stomock and all look crazy. so that small portion that looks good applies all across the tribes. by the way this applies to the men too so this is not a gender bashing thing . they all look crazy. lets just say naija is a place with not too many good looking people |

somegirl1: After seeking clarification like an illiterate person (no insult intended) and accusing me of cowering like you were going to unleash the ultimate shade, this all you could come up with? What a waste of my time. [b] listen, as an international traveller and a connoisseur of the finer thangs in life let me tell you how i rate the women in naija. of course i will not rate the men because i am not gay. here is my heirachy for naija women 1- top of the list and the most beautiful is ajebutter yoruba girl. now if you meet an ajebutter yoruba girl, there is nothing more beautiful in nigeria. now dont get me wrong now, there are many yoruba girls who are fantastically ugly, but there is nothing prettier and more valuable than an ajebutter yoruba girl. you know the type ? posh with soft features coupled with the yoruba sophistication. its da best 2- next in line is fulani women with their soft features. although their level of sophistication is strongly affected by their culture. like even though they are pretty but you will not get the level of sophistication you get from an ajebutter yoruba girl. 3-hausa girls 4-itshekiri 5-igbo girls. now there are some good looking igbo girls but the only downfall here is they are very masculine and aggressive. but theere are pretty ones. i wouldnt lie. but i just am not attracted to people who are not soft in nature. igbo women are like igbo men which is aggressive and hard. those are not feminine traits. thats the only reason i put them at number 5. otherwise i would have put you at 3.[/b] |

I'll stop replying to you as you're just exposing your ignorance with each word you type. You have a terribly condescending attitude towards the past; those people were highly educated, in fact, I'm willing to bet that the civil servants in the 50s and 60s were better educated on average than those that we have today. oh really ? the civil service workers of back then could work an ipad and laptop and iphone and write apps programs ? oh really ? come on woman, those days all you needed was a good eye and good hands to get in the civil service |

michelz: igbos don't really give a hoot about being light-skinned or not. To them,it's something that is normal - light-skin tone has been with them as far back as anyone can remember. Even during the slavery (you can search this yourself ),Igbos were generally distinguished from other africans with their lighter skin tone. The internet is replete with information about the light skin tone of Igbos. Infact,at the risk of making a blanket statement,about more than half of every Igbo couple will give birth to a light-skinned baby. It is that common. As for the pix by the OP of Igbos in the 1930s: Don't be deceived into thinking that just because a people had only a simple basic covering on,then it means they were bush undeveloped people. That's not true. Even before the colonial white men came,Igbos had a well established societal system. You can research about the Nri kingdom,the Igbo Ukwu artifacts that were unearthed and probably dated back to as far back as anyone can imagine. Surely,people who were capable of such feats then couldn't be called "bush/undeveloped",could they? In fact,the colonial whites recorded that when they came to the SE,Igbos were not even intimidated by them; rather,the Igbos were looking at them amusingly - you know,how you'd look at something you consider inferior to you. Research on these things - even about your own people. Many parts of Africa weren't really "jungle" before the colonials came like they'd want you to believe. They only had their own unique ways of doing things. try telling that to all the mouth breathing, knuckle-dragging prehistoric ipob yoofs we have on nairaland always boasting about being lightskin lol |

Ngozi123: I didn't specify the colonial era but I clearly said that I was talking about the 1950's and 1960's, which was a period that was situated in pre and post-colonial Nigeria. Stop contradicting yourself. point remains that all you needed to get into civil service was two working arms and eyes that can see. so you can read and write. wasnt no high level position back then. all it was was stable income for the middle class. you talk as if civil service is CEO at microsoft or something lolzzzz. its just a bunch of pen pushers with basic reading and writing skills  |

Ngozi123: This is not true. You agreed with me that the Igbos dominated the civil services in the 50s and 60s in your other post, meaning that you agreed that there was a civil service before Independence. you didnt say you were speaking about the colonial era. i thought you were speaking about post colonial. because truth be told, during colonial era the whites favored the hausa more than every tribe. now post colonial is when igbo flooded the military and civil service. |

Ngozi123: Dominating the civil services showed that they were the most educated group in the whole country. I'm not talking about 'big dawgs'- who cares about that? I'm talking about education, which is a better measurement of the development of a region than wealth. doesnt take education to be admitted into the civil service back then. all you needed was two working arms and eyes to see, so you can read and write. those were the only requirements |

Ngozi123: They were the leading ethnic group in the civil services in the 1950's and 1960's. This was just 20-30 years after those pictures were taken. Read of that what you may... that is very correct. however the civil service was not where the big dawgs were. its like in america where the civil service is filled with negros. the civil service is a medium level status thing. the high powered people back then were yoruba businessmen. |

Ngozi123: No, you were being condescending towards the Igbos as if wearing more clothes= being more civilised. You know what you were doing.
I'll repeat what I said before, if the Igbos became civilised "very late", as you put it, but they managed to 'catch up' and even supersede other Nigerians just 30 years after this picture was taken, what does that say about these Nigerians who were supposedly 'civilised' at an early age? the question here is which other nigerians have they superseded. i will need you to name the tribes that got superseded by the igbos before we can continue this conversation |
