At least, 10 Super Eagles have reportedly fallen ill and may not recover in time, for their first Africa Cup of Nations game against Burundi on June 22, SportingLife reports.



It is understood that the source of the recent cases of illness, may have come from air conditioners in one of the hotels, which emitted virus which has infected the players.



Some of the payers presently down are Ahmed Musa, Shehu Abdullahi, Leon Balogun, Henry Onyekuru and Chidozie Awaziem.



Nigeria rounded off their preparation for the tournament, with a 1-0 defeat to Senegal on Sunday.



After their opening fixture against Burundi, Gernot Rohr’s men will play against Guinea on June 26 and then wrap up their group outings against Madagascar on June 30
Wetin be this one?

I understand your your confidence in Burundi being a lowly team, but are you overtly confident about our team getting the job done?

Looking at our warm up matches, looking at Burundis matches.

Mehn, I'm not being pessimistic here, but I don't see us winning the match, if we do, probably just one single moment of brilliance.

Our warm up matches aren't anything to go by, and Rohr, (I don't have evidence to back this up), isn't usually a good starter.

Burundi are hard to break. While we, we find it hard to score.....

Dembouz embarassed
BREAKING: According to the reliable globosport, FC Barcelona are willing to offer €100m + Dembele, Rakitic & Umtiti to PSG to get Neymar back.
Yen, yen, yen.


Barça can't be that stupid. I know bartomeu and his gang are absolutely useless and annoying, but even they won't do such.

I still maintain, Barça won't sell Dembele. We may sell Phil, but not Dembouz. All these kinds of rumors don't get to me

Dembouz, worst case, 70m
Ivan, let's say, 50m
Samuel, let's degrade him to 50m too.

170 + 100 = 270, for a player we sold 220m 2 years ago?


c'mon guys, don't get worked up unnecessarily.


Even if the deal will happen, only one of those 3 players can go, and it can't be Dembele. Ever!

How can from Zaria to Katsina be 4hours?
Nah, shouldn't be. A little more than 2 hours.

But maybe the bus wasn't full and they kept picking and dropping passengers along the way. Or maybe he boarded Funtua, then Katsina

They deceive passengers with that since there are few passengers going to Maiduguri from Lagos. it's better you get to Kano, which has more passengers and from Kano, you can get to Potiskum , the orientation camp
Especially now that there would be lots of innocent people compelled to go to the North. And they don't know the route. They will be forced to believe them.

Passing through Kano will be too far. The best bet is Jos or Bauchi. There is direct bus from Jos to Maduguri, bauchi, gombe and all north east state.
This also, would be better, for those going to the East.


Going through Kano can be stressful, unless you're going further north east.

The last batch of corps I entered buses with had a host of people going to Jigawa and then Bauchi. It is easier going to Jigawa, gombe and so on from Kano, but stressful coming to Bauchi, Nasarawwa ef al. So, the best bet would be to go through Jos

take a bus to kano first, kano has direct routes to all these small northern states katsina, Jigawa, bauchi, and Gombe. you might not get buses from lagos to these places
Kano is for people going to the East.

So far you're going to the west, you stop at Kaduna.

The school should be starting their exams now, if already they haven't started. Then there's the semester break. There won't be post utme until around September, so, you all have sufficient time to prepare.

Post utme takes place in the school, so you'd have to travel down Zaria from wherever you are.

What else?
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by barackodam: 6:25pm On Jun 13, 2019
The way we humans can be often times, even we ourselves are confusing.


Few weeks back, almost everyone here agreed that KC would be dropped, the other player was what differs.

June 9 came, what we all knew, and bad hoped would happen, happened. And 4 days later, we are still going back and forth on how the same KC we touted to be dropped, could have made the team.


I mean, for real? Didn't we say he should and would be dropped? Why catching feelings thereafter?


The first criteria for national team selection has been club team form. Even while Ighalo was having a rough patch in national team, he kept scoring in his league, persistently kept churning out enticing performances.

What has KC done to entice anyone? If you can't perform, you're mostly axed. That's why there's competition. The strikers that he got axed for, compare their last season together and see why honestly, for the betterment of the team, you'd want KC to make the team.

It's not a big deal, players get dropped all the time. It's not surprising. Let's already get over him.

We are saying we're happy he was axed and that he gets to focus on his pre season, yet, we're still tweaking the team to accommodate him.

Seriously? undecided


Abeg, let's forge ahead honestly.

AFCON is here, in our front, and Iheanacho is not going to be a part.

The earlier we accept, the better for us.

We should be supporting the team, mainly, and not dragging the past along.

Islam › Injunctions On End Of Ramadan. by barackodam(op): 12:34pm On Jun 03, 2019
Salam Alaykum brothers and sisters.

I have a question that just occurred to me. I and a friend were arguing few hours ago about the ending of Ramadan.

He insisted, end of Ramadan, like the beginning, is determined by sighting of the moon. Always has been.

I on the other hand says, based on the hadith, since Shaban can be 29/30 depending on the moon, and Ramadan can be same. That if Shaban is 30, like this year, Ramadan "must", emphasis on must, be 29.

He vehemently declined and said Ramadan can still be 30 irrespective, if the moon is not sighted or the weather is not clear.


My question here is, is he right? Or am I?
Because this has been my notion for a long time and I'm certain a lot of people share the same narrative as well.

Kindly enlighten, jazakhumllahu khayran
Sports › Anthony Joshua Is Worth £35m, But Never Spends A Penny Of His Own Money by barackodam(op):
- Anthony Joshua lives a luxurious life with private jets, five-star holidays and fast cars – without spending out of his £35m fortune


- The WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world champion gets his holidays and food free

- Joshua still lives his mum Yeta Odusanya in their humble house in the United Kingdom





Anthony Joshua, the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world champion, is currently valued at about worth £35m, and travels around the globe on private jets and fast cars, but hardly spends personal cash.

According to UK Sun report, the Nigerian-born pugilist despite his worth remains so humble and still lives with his mum - in an ex-council house.

In addition, AJ also has another two-bed flat in Sheffield, which he uses mostly for training. It has a master bedroom with a single bed, worn out sofas in the living room, and a bathroom.

Interestingly, the 29-year-old Joshua, is one of the few people that don’t bother about weekly supermarket shopping, and doesn't even pay for his cartons of eggs, with his sponsors taking care of everything.

AJ instead spends his cash on family threats with the balance kept safe in the bank.

Speaking about the world boxing champion, Joshua’s close pal and marketing manager, Freddie Cunningham, insists the boxer likes keeping it low despite having "a lot of money," Joshua "doesn't live the life that he could."

"From the outside, it probably looks like he does. He's seen in private jets, wearing expensive watches, and driving around in nice cars,” he was quoted as saying to Business Insider.

"But the jets are all sponsored. We've never paid for a private jet, or a helicopter, in our life. He gets a signature car from Land Rover.

"He's not spending that money. He's accumulating money. He's living a lifestyle that probably everyone wants him to live, or see him live, but he's doing it in a smart way. Tactful."


At the last count, AJ has about 12 endorsement deals currently under his heavyweight belt – fetching him around £5m per annum - ranging from clothing, electronics and cars that ensure he has more money in the bank when not fighting.

Furthermore, he has a free £45million private jet provided by US sportswear giant Under Armour – who also credits his account with seven-digit salary.

Surprisingly, while revealing the inside of his black G550 valued at about £45m before heading to USA to battle Ruiz, AJ said: “These type of things aren't ordinary, in my daily life and in many other people's daily lives, so it's a blessing.

"However, my view is even though I enjoy it and the door has been opened for me, I can't forget to open the door for people who have come with me and the people who aren't in a position to enjoy this type of luxury.

"I never get too lost in the source and get carried away with these types of things.”


The sports kit manufactures’ also ensures the IBF world heavyweight champion remains spot on with training wear, including all tracksuits, and trainers.

AJ also makes use of a helicopter, provided by Beats by Dre, who he’s been the face since 2017.

Joshua’s first car at 17 was a Vauxhall Astra, which he saved up £1,500 to buy and claimed it was a “stable, sturdy car.”

But at the moment through his various partnership with automobile giants Jaguar Land Rover – which is reportedly valued at £790,000 a year - AJ drives round London with various luxurious wheels, including a customised white Jaguar XJR, worth £93,000.

However, his favourite remains his personalized black Range Rover, which he believes "looks very professional and sets a standard"

The boxer was angry last year, after his bespoke £150,000 motor – handed to him by his sponsors – was stolen outside his cousin’s house, days before fighting Alexander Povetkin.

Luckily AJ was handed another by the company without delay.

Equally, the world champ enjoys free trips to Dubai, Miami and Jamaica when not boxing on exotic vacations with family and friends, with his Instagram revealing a lot more.

Again, most of these trips are sponsored by countries and resorts who want the privilege of having the sporting icon spotted hitting their hottest tourist spots.

Cunningham stressed: “We have a partnership with Dubai Tourism and they really like him and get his philosophy on life, his morals, everything.

"He resonates with that territory. They want to bring boxing there. Hopefully we can do something there.”


Interestingly, in the past, Joshua got into trouble with police as a youngster and spent about 14 days in Reading prison after he was caught with cannabis.

AJ now understands the value of the money he's made.

"Don’t save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving," was his recent advice to his over 8.8 million Instagram followers.

Joshua still manage to dazzle with jewellery and clothes worth thousand of pounds despite keeping his purse closed mostly.

Recently, he was handed a £350,000 watch worth more than an average house, courtesy of his partnership with luxury jewellers Audemars Piguet.

I'm not sure you can do anything.

Even in federal unis, they rusticate and expel, depending on how they deem fit. And appealing would be hard because school have rules and regulations.

2 years ago, a lot of my classmates were rusticated for having Nokia phone, I mean, Nokia torchlight phone in their pockets. They weren't even using it.

So far there's incriminating material on it, appealing is baseless. All schools always want a scapegoat every exam time. And your friend, sadly, is one
