that match against Argentina is a do or die affair since Argentina needs a win to qualify while a draw might not be enough for us depending on what result of Iceland vs Croatia turns out.. the advantage we have is that there might some self belief back in this team and Argentina is in a bit of crises as some players have lost confidence in sampaoli

goldfish80:
Very Inexperienced challenge from Ebuehi

thankgod say e no enter. inexperience tackling by him but the main fault is from omeruo who was supposed to clear out that ball initially

OMAMBALA1 Have you seen the importance of musa?

bengine:
Iceland would come out now...now its time to destroy them with counter attack..

exactly.. we should also watch out for their up balls

ebuehi finally tied to nigeria

Joebie:
And they’ve had set pieces after set pieces —— something we dread most

if Iceland should score early in the second half it will be hard for us

my worry is this we did not have a shot on target against Croatia and in 45mins in this match we have also not had a shot on target

apart from this Argentine team being a bit disorganized you get the feeling there seems to be a dearth of quality midfielders and defenders coming out of there in recent times

I doubt lots of pedestrians Will want to use that footbridge

african teams and conceding from set pieces

AIG07:
they won't allow us. Did we inform them earlier? I'm sure we didn't. I raised it some months back that there is need for our SC to write the Local Organizing Committee that Nigeria is coming to support her team with drums and trumpets. But the old chairman has ran out of idea and still think we are in the 20th century were you just go to someone's land and be doing anyhow. They appeared at the stadium with live chicken and were expecting them to be given pass. Our Supporters club are a joke

watching Russia vs Egypt previews now just saw a clip of an Egyptian holding a simba drum in the match again Uruguay

Icon79:
LOL, don't mind them. Pace and power game is our style of play. And that's the ONLY way we can compete and defeat the Euro teams. We can't beat them with defensive organization. No way!


O pari

and some street skills too.. however if Senegal next match is against Colombia they should be ready for game of their lives

Odunayaw:
I feel bad for the Columbians sha

it was a stupid move by sanchez to handle that ball at that point in time.. it wasnt like suarez case that was in the 119th min.. this was 3min.. enough time to equalize and play with full compliment of players.. I guess it was rush of blood to the head

Odunayaw:
I never believed a team of 5 footers like Japan can score an header from a corner

this Japanese teams looks good

Odunayaw:
Japan must have gone to drink some Samurai gin or something. They are handing it to the Columbians now

well they are one man up

Purehuman:
The truth is, the Yorubas have a mission and you can see it from the news emanating from them everyday. They are following it up even without anyone noticing it. The thing about we igbos is that we don't take some things serious and when people see these things, they believe we don't have any mission.

I get seriously tired when it comes to igbo discuss because it ends here.

the ultimate mission of they is self government or federalism..a lot of the people from there who want it will tell you the present direction they went and is still going is not going to get them that..the present leadership near power as it is now are after something else

that is because like others you are pouring out your emotions here..not sure how that will translate to what we all we all desire..this is just cyberspace where people exchange ideas..if people are interested they take what we discuss here is they arent they ignore.

DawatNama:
The eddioot have not been close to anywhere near Igboland, try and see his grandstanding and arrogance running unclad.
Look the way he is throwing percents with reckless abandon, the deranged goat deserve no attention

no need insulting him though..i am just interested where he gets his percentages from

Develpeast:
I am a telecom engineer. I travel round this country on almost on a daily basis. The funniest part is that, the villages you don't go, I go. The extremes you have not reached, I have reached in this country.

When I think my people are more educated and civilized than many of these people, I still find them building bigger projects than we do. With lots of dependants from their axis, you still find them getting things done.

We can be first in a whack educational system that breeds dependants but that doesn't mean our educational system makes sense.

You see, igbo people still go to the backward north to still live in their ghetto and you we are better of? oh please.

is this nationwide or in igboland alone?

probably because they have become used to that place and the opportunity the place provides?why would an nnewi spare parts guy leave bauchi where he has his market and fellow spare parts sellers are not much compared to the population to come back to nnewi or mgbuka obosi to compete with numerous competitors there?

the yoruba tailors that are increasing in the east why dont they stay back in oshogbo?is it not because of competition where they are from with respect to the cash the are getting in the eastern towns?

secondly i have continued to hammer it we should not model our development to the way others do because the settlement pattern in the east is different..same with mentality.

Purehuman:
But his mentality is for someone who hasn't been in the length and breadth of this country. I feel more people should have a broader view of this country than the way many people see it.

he is based in lagos..the problem with almost all of us here is that we argue more with emotions..both those affirming and condemning..i personally believe that igbos(leadership) is shortcoming in development..i personally believe our best was BTW 1955 to 1970...non bar one or two did what was expected after that so i do not really reckon with the present ones and there deserves criticisms they get but please i do not believe in belittling the efforts of individual igbos as it gets very annoying..secondly there is a general dearth of leadership around the country so i do not get this tales of other places being eldorado..the same nigeria i travel around abi?..igbo people are in other places na today?do we not all know the migration of igbos to other places to make use of opportunities there started early 20th century?bisi olatilo speaks fluent igbo like a native but has never lived in the east but grew up in Kano in the 50s..maybe we should ask how that was possible

Purehuman:
Anyone who speaks his mind must be from southwest. You lots in the east have a long way to go seriously. Very annoying.

that you assumed he is in the east also a problem when he isnt

Develpeast:
Can you kindly come let me take you round. You will think I am joking.

you do not need to because i travel around too

Develpeast:
In your mind you know how to run your mouth but you don't know how stupid you sound. A region where over 60% of its population do not base in the state. A region where 90% of the wealthy men did not make money in the region. 90% of the houses in the region are not owned by people doing businesses in the region.

You keep dishing out numbers like you are smart but you don't know that your governors govern the least landmass in the entire country and the least population in the country but no substantial development coming from your end. You always insult the north and you don't know them. You insult them but most of the powerful people you have in the east grew up there or did business there. The real Fulanis and Hausas are not poor. It's the imported ones. From the fringes of the region. You think Anambra have more schools than Kano or Katsina? you guys just stay in the east and feel you know everywhere.

Igboland and igbo people do not have a thing. Just one thing. Our brothers are systematically sent out of the state in Lagos, the Hausas are buying properties of igbos in Kano. The whole economic epicenter of igbo businesses are being rounded up through policies but you keep talking. You don't know one thing. You dishing out info from bodies outside the country.

How much has your education system helped in growing the economy of the region? How many graduates in the region stay there after 3months. A lady from Imo state served in Kano, and now she has remained there. Why didn't she return to Imo state? You are really an idiotic fellow if you think igboland is getting it right because you see houses.

I have been to many places in this country. For a people with so much education and exposure, igboland and igbo people are the most underdeveloped and under-utilized people in the world.

FYI, what do they treat in Nigeria that Eastern region is the best place to treat it? Which hospital in the east is more equipped than other hospitals in the country.

Make I no slap you now

the bold are funny if not trash..same emotional outburst

everyday doom and gloom..

Purehuman:
You guys do not know that each year, the east is witnessing massive de-marketization. I just laugh when you guys keep thinking that the market is still in Onitsha or Ariaria.

so what is to be done to reverse the trend?

Kokolet11:
i hate every igbo poliyician,including the dawrf ngige.

your comments on ngige on that thread does not suggest so

Xander85:
You need to pack it in mate!

It's 'theorists' like you that is a big part of the problem we face as a people! Always theorising what Mazi Kanu and IPOB did and didn't do...could and couldn't do!

Now Buhari has sent his kinsmen to kidnap and possibly murder Mazi kanu and his parents (the same way they got rid of the likes of Ken Saro-Wiwa, Abiola and his wife Kudirat....people who likewise threatened their hegemony and hustle), the coast is now clear for theorists, apologists and 'one Nigeria' lovers like you and Ohaneze to put your own ideas to the test...ideas that hopefully would see Ndigbo and Alaigbo being placed on an equal footing with the other two major ethnic groups like it was on the day of independence!

forget long story..he should stop coming here to lament ..EOD

DrGoodman:
I even thought you have some level of knowledge, please don't disappoint me. The fact that someone opened a thread on the Anambra elections to kick away a known Igbo performing government makes him Igbo? Holy Moses!

These afonjas are jobless, humping from thread to thread talking absolute rubbishh is their work. He is on Enugu case to spread hate and despondency by blaming everything and everyone. He may never have left Oshogbo in his entire miserable life.

lol

Kokolet11:
i will stop lamenting as long as you people stop crying like children and wait oo this one you did not call me afonja like the man up there.

so is ngige part of the igbo politicians you hate?

DrGoodman:
The person you are replying is a complete Afonjigijigi

they move in to deride a region better than their homes just to talk them down. Don't let him deceive you.

i dont think so..look at this his thread before anambra election https://www.nairaland.com/4182788/tomorrow-operation-kick-willie-out

Kokolet11:
[b]lol Godforbid that i will cry over south east again.[/b]my business in igboland has ended long ago.if govt want they should down the enugu airport,leave the roads,the railways and others,is no more my business.always know that east can never be like dubia in nigeria.one thing that always draw me back in east are the poor masses not your type or others here.

then stop coming to lament

Kokolet11:
since nk is not strategic why not start up a stategic one?or better still stop crying over what nigeria govt is doing.
