He is hungry, that is why.




His market value would raise after the competition.

Very disgraceful performance. We couldn't even score against Guinea Bissau.




We are never going past the round of 16.

Onyeka and Semi Ajayi are disasters waiting to happen for Nigeria.




Always making senseless tackles.

Imagine. This is a disgrace!!!



Thank God for offside.

If we took our chances, we would have topped this group.




From what we have seen thus far, I don't see any team that we can beat outside this group.

Fira09:
Your initial statement referred to him as 'one season wonder", so?

Yes, one season wonder.




He did not play a full season with Lille.

Fira09:
Hian, you don't even know Osimhen once played for Lille(he was so elite at Lille) and it made Napoli break the bank for him.

I hope you know Napoli has a new coach and not Spalleti.

We are all talking about his time in Napoli, not Lille.

Ironbull:
Forget talk though I'm never his fan but from what I gathered this guy was never a lazy guy he is been hustling all his life and he had just said the truth. You can't be sleeping all days with all the talents and gifts in you and be blaming the govt, things ain't going to be better you are the one to fight your way through in life or reman the child of Lamentation for ever.

Hustling? People use this word only for people doing well financially.




They make it seem like if you are not rich, you are not hustling or not hustling hard enough. They will even call you lazy.




I tell people that hustle needs grace to flourish. The difference between a rich musician and a struggling musician is not always about the hustle or even gift. Most times, it is just LUCK.




There are thousands of upcoming musicians in Nigeria, but only about 9% of them will blow enough to earn a living from their music.





It is very obvious. I am sure there is hardly any home in Nigeria where you don't have someone doing music or aspiring to be a musician. Yet, only a few would actually be lucky enough to make it.





Hear the story of Wande Coal.




Wande Coal forced a demo into the hand of Don Jazzy after a concert. Don Jazzy could have thrown the demo away, but something made him listen to it, and that was how Wande Coal became a signee. That is luck. If Wande Coal had not found favour in the eyes of Don Jazzy, he might have ended up abandoning his gift out of frustration.

Fira09:
Overhyped? Walahi I feel like headbutting you brutally.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, isn't him the same person who performed for Lille exceptionally? "Goal is goal". Osimhen has scored rare goals against the likes of Roma, AC Milan, Juventus.

You are guys are nothing but bunch of pessimistic things.

Lille or Napoli?




Anyway, there is really nothing special about that guy.




I don't see him repeating that performance in Serie A.

seniorkachion:
Sunday Mba with 2 goals tops the list qualitatively.
Man scored the winning goals in the Semi Final and Final.

Quarter Finals (not Semi Finals).

ravensckar:
First of all, Junior World Cup don't mean sh1t because we all know how most of those players end up at the Senior Level. e.g Opabunmi,Victor Brown, Kabiru Akinsola, Chrisantus Macauley, etc

Being the Best player and highest goal scorer in Italy is just a one season thing o. Until he repeats that achievement, one can liken it to be a flash in the pan.

I concur with your submission that he's still trying to understand African football. But seriously speaking, Osimhen is average at best. I've watched him severally. Apart from speed, dude is an advanced Timo Werner.

#Not_Hating

Exactly.




I don't see the hype, honestly.

Fira09:
Lol, Osimhen has 29 caps for Nigeria with 21 goals.

Osimhen always scoring against teams like Lesotho, Sierria Leone, Benin Republic, Chad...



I doubt if he would even knock Ighalo off that chart, not to mention Rashidi Yekini, Agahowa or Segun Odegbami.




The guy is just one hype job. I doubt he would even replicate last season's performance in Serie A if he stays.

The ones in school overcharge their parents.




They overcharge for school fees, course materials, field trips, house rents, project works...




I overheard one female student calling home and overcharging school fees. I know that she was overcharging her parents because I have the school fees breakdown with me.





Both male and female students do this. Then, there are also those into fraud. I hear that females are doing Yahoo Yahoo too now. And then, there are the hookup girls. These ones usually have a business that they are doing as a front. They might have a hair salon or a provision shop or online shoe, bags and wig store.

Splashme:
But truly, that 'tuale tuale' lifestyle is a Yoruba thing. Ibos hardly do beggi beggi

Just talking from a neutral point of view. I am neither Ibo nor Yoruba
.

Which Igbos don't do beggi beggi?




Many social media beggars are Igbos, both male and female.




You will find them on every social media platform, from Facebook to X (formerly Twitter).

Federalis:
Or albino oyibo dey too?

Yes, there are white people with albinism.

lexy2014:
you are already getting emotional.

in the course of this discussion, where did the term "African powerhouse" originate from?

according to you "A powerhouse is an entity with a lot of power". if you say that Burkina Faso is an "African power house" and based on your definition, which power does Burkina Faso have?

according to you, you claim that Burkina Faso has been consistent since 2013 but the same you claimed that the same Burkina Faso didnt qualify in 2019. how is that consistent?

nations cup has been played 35 times. in your own words:

"Since 2013, they have played in every AFCON semi-finals except in 2015.

2013: They made the finals and lost to Nigeria.

2017: They made the semi finals and won bronze.

2019: They didn't qualify.

2021: They made the semi finals but finished in fourth place."


so how many times is that in your own words that now makes them "African power house"?

based on these your records that you say is here to prove it, kindly prove your point that Burkina Faso is a football power house.

how does all you have typed about them make them a "powerhouse"?

You have absolutely nothing to say. That was why I made that post. You had all the trappings of a time waster.




The shortest route to save both of our time is to come to the agreement that Burkina Faso is not a small footballing country.





Never mind that they didn't qualify in 2019 (Nigeria did not qualify for 2015 despite being defending champions) but they have been in 4 AFCONS since 2013, and have been in the semis 3 times, adding silver medals and bronze medals to their catalogue of awards.





The so-called big teams like Morocco, Ghana, and even Algeria have been inconsistent, especially Algeria.

JASONjnr:
He can't..... His hatred for Peter Obi is very glaring.


Asked Elrufai why he's against Peter Obi and he will tell you that Obi locked him up during his time as a governor.

Ask Soyinka the same question and he will be so confused but because he's loving the attention given to him for spilling hatred.

It's so embarrassing that grey hair doesn't really translate to wisdom.

You are the only one seeing Soyinka's hatred for Peter Obi.




Why would Soyinka even hate Obi?





I don't like calling out tribes, but I don't know why many of you Igbos have this persecution complex, always believing that people hate you.

AcuraZDX:
This Gbajue Professor and crying about those old enough to be his kids.

Soyinka rest na. Kilode.

I could remember when he called the wife of a sitting President Shepopotammus.

Point One! Nobody takes you serious

Show us evidence that Soyinka called anyone shepopotamus.




This is the reason why Soyinka said he hated granting interviews.

God1000:
I respect Mr Soyinka a lot but he needs to detach himself from this APC government.

Elections have come and gone and all the court cases have been settled as well.

I've never seen this side of him before


Nlfpmod this account Cooldowntemper keeps stalking me everywhere and breaking the rules of this platform.

Yes, elections have come and gone, but people still continue to ethnically profile people. Any small thing, you will find election losers profiling people.





There was a post on Facebook where Burna Boy was driving through the street of Lagos and some people were running after him, obviously asking for money. Some idiots wrote that they were Yorubas already suffering the repercussions of voting for Tinubu.

lexy2014:
why should I do that? the term originated from you. dont you know the meaning of the term you used?

how does all you have typed about them make them a "powerhouse"?

First of all, the term did not originate from me, so stop playing dumb just to waste my time.




A country which has consistently reached the semis in Africa biggest football league since 2013 is not a team you can call small. It is something even a child should understand. In 2017, they were ranked the 35th best team in the world by FIFA.




A powerhouse is an entity with a lot of power. Burkina Faso is currently ranked 10th in Africa, with the top 9 only negligible points over them.





Despite explaining it to you that a team which has won silver and bronze and made a fourth place in 4 AFCONs since 2013 is a powerhouse in its own rights, you are still asking stupid question. I am not going to go down that fruitless path with you.





Burkina Faso is not a small African footballing country, and the records are there to prove it.

lexy2014:
how does all you have typed about them make them a "powerhouse"?

Define an African football powerhouse?

lexy2014:
what are they?

A powerhouse in their own right.




Since 2013, they have played in every AFCON semi-finals except in 2015.





2013: They made the finals and lost to Nigeria.



2017: They made the semi finals and won bronze.



2019: They didn't qualify.



2021: They made the semi finals but finished in fourth place.





This is far better than Algeria who are so inconsistent.

lexy2014:
The so called small nations springing surprises on the big nations

Burkina Faso is not a small footballing nation o.

Elsudani2:
Egypt will win hands down

It is a 50-50 match.



Whenever Ghana meets any of Nigeria or Egypt, it is always a 50-50 game.

Ghana might beat Egypt o.



The Black Stars don't take matches against Nigeria or Egypt lightly. It is always a do-or-die affair for them.

Midehi3:
Abi o, this is abnormal

You can't give what you don't have.




Don't expect any magic. Osimhen is average at best. Maybe slightly above average.

Donaldoni:
He promised to refund them if they don't get blessed

Great!

It is not going to be that easy. In the end, he will tell them that the life they have is a blessing. Some people will make certain improvements in their lives that they would count as blessing.




Many of them would find it difficult to ask for a refund because they would not be able to prove that they have not been blessed in one way or the other.





Pastors are the greatest scammers in the world.

ekelebeXstunner:
How do street basketball players survive the same punishment? His fall isn’t new. Underlying conditions is what I vote as the cause.

They don't fall awkwardly and land head first on concrete.



In sports, how you fall can sometimes play a role in the extent of injuries you sustain. That is why players work hard at training. Lazy players would usually sustain more career-threatening injuries than hardworking players.

Yugoslavia247:
You know how many smashing of head we dey do for football

Look at the height. And it is concrete. Have you fallen like that before while playing football?



That is a fatal fall. If he manages to survive, the least he would get is a concussion. But that fall was bad.

The sister did a terrible thing by throwing away 15 cans of formula. That is a lot of money.



The breastfeeding is not the issue for me. It is the waste of food and money.





I know how much I spend on food for my daughter every week. And then, someone takes 15 cans of food and throws them away.





If my sister or brother did something like that to me, I won't take it easy on them.

Trustmea:
Hmmm I am sensing jealousy and envy from this write-up. Well I hate loud sound too though.

Jealousy and envy over what?




If not for the noise, I don't think I would have even noticed the guy.




It was like when Abacha died, and every Nigerian was rejoicing. Would you call that envy or relief.




It was relief?
