Politics / Re: 20 Things You Do Not Know About Nigeria. by BlackAlbino6(m): 9:31am On Aug 16, 2016
Orkpekyandega:
20 THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT NIGERIA.

You may already know that Nigeria is the largest black nation in the world and the most populous nation in Africa.

You may already know that Nigeria has great dependency on crude oil, plus all the other opinions of David Cameron. Here are 20 unpopular facts about Nigeria.

1. Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? Do you know??

2. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated.

3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.

5. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.

6. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

7. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State.

8. The World's fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world's fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.

9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.

10. South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.

11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.

12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.

13. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power.

14. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil.

15. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask.

16. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.

17. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don't be lied to.

18. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.

=========

Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past.

If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage.

Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position.

We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness.

==========

Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:

19. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.

They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.

If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. VIVA NAIJA!!!

20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media.
Wao!!! So something good is still left about Nigeria.

safarigirl:
as much as I want to understand their plight, I do not think they have gotten to the point where they should be fighting for money

Their lack of qualification for the U20 will not hurt Pinnick or his job, it will hurt their careers. A few like Nwakali and Osimhen may have foreign clubs already, but what about the likes of Orji Okonkwo still looking to get a good deal? These international competitions raise players profiles

They have the opportunity to do something special, to win an U20 World Cup for the first time in Nigerian history and second in Africa, and they want to throw it away because they haven't been paid?

When you're trying to establish yourself, money should not be your concern. Getting your name out there should be the target.

Now, if these threats to boycott are on behalf of the coaches, I can wholly understand that and support them, but if it's the players, then no, I do not support that. If the senior boys are boycotting games, what makes these teenagers think they can do same?
Well said. Now that they have missed out, their eyes go clear. Too bad for their careers.

I am so pained. So finally, they may be nothing for someone to smile about Nigerian football this year.

Nigeria/South Sudan: Afcon U-20 Qualifiers - Don't Boycott Sudan Match, Pinnick Begs Flying Eagles
[/size]
By Ben Efe

Flying Eagles' players have refused to back down on their threat to boycott Saturday's Under-20 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan in Lagos.


The players who have shunned training for three days running, are demanding that their outstanding allowances stretching back to their Golden Eaglets days be paid.


Otherwise, they will not step out to defend the 2-1 advantage they posted over Sudan in the first leg in Khartoum. Nigeria Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick spoke to the players yesterday urging them to be patient with the cash-strapped federation.


But according to one the players who spoke on the issue yesterday, things are becoming unbearable to them in the camp.


"They are treating us as if we are slaves. Imagine that when we came back from South Korea where we won the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, they only gave us N20,000 as transport to go home.


Since then nothing has been paid to us.


"Even our coaches have not been paid for eight months. They have families at home. Are they spending all their days with the team for nothing?"


Amaju attributed the financial squeeze to the non release of government subvention to the NFF for two months running.


"We will try to do something for the boys. Things are really difficult, but we will see what we can do.


"The Flying Eagles are not the only team that have not been paid. The Super Falcons, the Super Eagles are all affected."

Ghana Fall To Senegal On Agreggate, Out Of U-20 AFCON
[/size]

Ghana U-20 men's team, Black Satellites, have been eliminated from the 2017 CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations despite defeating Senegal 1-0 in the return leg played on Friday in Accra, crashing out 3-2 on aggregate.


Senegal won the first leg 3-1 in Dakar a fortnight ago.


The former U-20 AFCON champions' only goal was scored by Charles Boateng in the 30th minute, but it was not enough as the Senegalese held on to qualify for next year's tournament holding in Zambia.


This means Ghana will not be at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup holding in South Korea.


Ghana featured at the 2015 U-20 World Cup in New Zealand where they were knocked out in the second round after losing 3-0 to Mali.

Roma Starlet Returns To Nigeria After Suffering Knee Injury
Published: July 21, 2016

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Roma defender Nura Abdullahi is on his way to Abuja after departing Italy on Thursday.


The fullback has undergone surgery after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.


The 18-year-old was supposed to return to Nigeria with Dream Team VI trainee Sadiq Umar but delayed his trip because he had to undergo an operation.


Abdullahi has started his rehabilitation and had to travel with the Roma squad to Pinzolo to continue receiving treatment as all the doctors were with the team for their pre-season training.


When the Giallorossi squad returned, he was given a holiday and permitted to fly to Nigeria to see his family.


A product of Football College Abuja, Nura Abdullahi penned a four-year contract with Roma this summer after impressing officials of the capital outfit while on loan last season from Spezia.

Exclusive: Liverpool Offer New Contract And Shirt Number To Ejaria
[/size]

According to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com, English Premiership giants Liverpool will in the coming days offer fresh terms to Nigerian wonderkid Ovie Ejaria as well as a new shirt number.


Ejaria is set to be given a pay rise by Liverpool following his fine performances for the team in pre season game which has drawn praises from people within and outside the club.


18 year old Ejaria who also made the team’s tour party to the USA will most likely swap shirt number to a senior squad number from his present jersey number 53 as he is set to be main stay in the first team.


” Preliminary talks have taken place over a new contract but nothing has been proposed yet maybe in the coming days and his current shirt number has also been talked about but we wait and see if he will change it before the start of the season” A source close to the player told Owngoalnigeria.com.


The departure of Joe Allen to Liverpool has further brightened his chances of having games with the first team next season as manager Jurgen Klopp has already confirmed that he won’t be loaned out.

Signed from Arsenal, two summers ago he trained with the Nigeria U-17 team in 2013 but he is also eligible to represent England at senior level.

CAF U-20 Qualifier: No Hiding Place For Sudan - Amunike
Augustine Akhilomen
[/size]
www.nairaland.com/attachments/4006504_amunikeemmanuel_jpeg6a5f4c7fee6e5e7a5ac7fd03b144f07e
Ahead of Saturday's 2017 Africa U-20 Nations Cup second leg qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, Flying Eagles coach, Emmanuel Amunike says the team will take the Sudanese side to the cleaner in a bid to book their ticket for Zambia.


The team which won the first leg 2-1 a fortnight ago in Omdurman are just a step away from qualifying for the football showpiece as a draw or win would be enough for the team.


Besides, in Wednesday's friendly match, the team were held 2-2 by Remo Star as an own goal scored by Oche Salefu and a strike from Orji Okonkwo put the Flying Eagles ahead before goals from Ekenne Awaze and Onu handed Remo Stars a share of the spoils from the encounter that saw Samuel Chukwueze missing a penalty kick.


However,Amunike who has won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1994 as player and led the Golden Eaglets to lift the U-17 FIFA World Cup in Chile in 2015, told soccernet.com.ng that there would be no hiding place for Sudan on Saturday.


"The task of qualify the Flying Eagles to the 2017 Africa U-20 Nations Cup is gradually coming to an end considering the fact that the team is just a step close to achieving it," Amunike told soccernet.com.ng


"Of course we are aware that the Sudanese team won't come to Nigeria to count bridges because they are also targeting a ticket to play in Zambia.

" The truth is, there will be no hiding place for them on Saturday because my team are in good shape to do a double on them." he said.

Coach Emmanuel Amuneke's boys were held by Nduka Ugbade's team in a warm up game played in Lagos on Wednesday evening
Nigeria U20 and Remo Stars played out a fascinating and at times, breathless, 2-2 friendly at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
The Flying Eagles’ opener, courtesy of Oche Salefu was cancelled out by Ekenne Awaze’s stunner.
Samuel Chukwueze could have put his team ahead going into the half time break, but his penalty was saved from Remo’s goalkeeper who was awe-inspiring throughout the game.
Coach Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys took the initiative through Orji Okonkwo but their lead was not to last, and Onu Promise scored a penalty to save face for Nduka Ugbade’s men.
Nigeria face Sudan in the second leg, final round of the 2017 U20 Africa Cup of Nations billed for Zambia on Saturday. The first leg played in Omdurman ended 2-1 in favour of the Flying Eagles.

Ovie Ejaria Showing He Is The Real Deal With Another Classy Display For Liverpool
Published: July 21, 2016
[/size]
Ovie Ejaria lined up in the center of midfield as Liverpool made it four wins from four pre-season games after seeing off Huddersfield Town 2-0.


Unsurprisingly, the 18-year-old knitted the midfield, showed his class and the Reds lost balance in that position after he subbed out before the start of the second half.


Wednesday evening’s game was Ejaria’s fourth in pre-season as he was also given a run out against Tranmere Rovers, Fleetwood Town and Wigan Athletic.


Goals from Marko Grujic and Alberto Moreno secured a win for Liverpool at the The John Smith’s Stadium.


Jürgen Klopp and his charges will head to the United States on Thursday morning to continue their preparations ahead of the forthcoming season.

Mourinho Omits Nigeria Target From Manchester United Traveling Party To China
[/size]

The young Nigerian-born midfielder Tosin Kehinde is not in Manchester United’s traveling party to China.


Per the official Twitter page of the Red Devils, Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho has named a couple of Academy stars in his 25-man roster but Kehinde’s name was missing from the list.


This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise though as the Nigerian was not considered for Saturday’s 2-0 win at Wigan Athletic.


Born in Lagos 18 years ago, Tosin Kehinde has been at the Red Devils since the 2013-2014 season and rose through the ranks before he was promoted to their U21 squad ahead of the new season.


Manchester United will trade tackles with Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai (22 July) and Manchester City in Beijing (25 July) during their trip to Asia.

Osimhen, Nwakali, Chukwueze, 25 Players Land In Lagos Ahead Showdown Against Sudan
[/size]

NFF 1st Vice President, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, who is also Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association, on Monday led a high powered delegation that included President of the Nigeria Referees Association, Alhaji Tade Azeez and other chieftains of the Lagos State FA, to receive Nigeria’s U20 National Team delegation on arrival in Lagos.


The delegation landed at the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport around 10.30am for the final leg of their 2017 Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifying fixture with Sudan, coming up at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Saturday.


A 35-man delegation comprising of 28 players and seven officials got their first taste of Lagos hospitality from the VIP reception after which they were cheered by some passengers at the airport lobby.


The team was later driven in a convoy to its hotel accommodation in Surulere, and had lunch before the first training session that lasted two hours at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.


Coach Emmanuel Amuneke later addressed the players advising them to remain focused and dedicated to the task ahead.


He warned them not to be complacent against their visitors on Saturday, stressing that the fixture is not won until after the second leg has been played.

Osimhen: Qualification to Zambia is our focus
[/size]
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3995824_osimhen_jpeg_jpega29bcc810a25c41d7bdc0e7c3d2fa8fe
Striker Victor Osimhen etched his name into football folklore at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile in 2015 when he broke the long-standing nine-goal scoring record and set a new 11-goal mark as Nigeria cruised to a record fifth title.


Together with the core members of the all-conquering squad in Chile, they have progressed to the Flying Eagles, and have so far churned out some impressive results much to the delight of their fans.


Named CAF Youth Player of the Year in 2015, Osimhen and his colleagues are on the verge of picking a ticket to next year’s U-20 AFCON to be hosted in Zambia. A fortnight ago, Osimhen scored the winning goal as the Flying Eagles came from behind to beat their Sudanese counterparts 2-1 in Omdurman. The second leg takes place on Saturday, 23 July 2016 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.


The 17 year-old who has penned a pre-contract with German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, is banking on the passionate Lagos fans to cheer them to a double over Sudan and seal their place at next year’s U-20 AFCON in Zambia. Below are excerpts of his interview;


Cafonline.com: How has the transition been from the Golden Eaglets that won the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile to the Flying Eagles?

Victor Osimhen: It has been great and personally, I'm still on cloud nine because I also had the opportunity of playing with the national U-23 team that won the AFCON in Senegal. I want to use this opportunity to thank the officials for giving me the opportunity of playing in that wonderful team. Our focus now is to secure qualification for the U-20 AFCON in Zambia.


How ready are you for the crucial second leg against Sudan?

Our preparation has been going on well since we came back from Sudan where we won 2-1 in the first leg. We have been preparing physically and psychologically; and the coaches have been keeping us focused for the return leg. We know it won't be an easy match despite the fact that we won the first leg. It has been a great experience for us playing against Burundi in the previous round because they are a very good side in terms of their tactical awareness. The atmosphere in the camp has been very great and by the Grace of God, we shall win in Lagos.


What does playing in Lagos mean to you?

We are happy to play the second leg against Sudan in Lagos. On a personal level, I'm very excited because I have not had the opportunity of playing in a Nigeria shirt in front of my family and fans in Lagos. My family and friends would be there to support us; and it would be a great opportunity for us to show the Lagos fans the stuff we are made of. We know the Lagos crowd will be massive and they will support us


What are your expectations?

I'm not good at predicting results of matches but we are confident we are going to win. In this team, we have a lot of players who can score and it is not down to only me. We should expect goals from the team and if I get the opportunity, I would utilize it and if possible create opportunities for others to score for others too.


Does the fact that Nigeria is the defending champion of the U-20 AFCON bring about some form of pressure on you and your colleagues?

I think it's a motivation but we must first qualify for the tournament in Zambia before talking about defending the trophy.


You and your mates have launched a hash tag #YAGI. What is the inspiration behind that message?

Let me start by saying that YAGI means ‘Young And Getting It’ and this was actually adopted from one of Nigeria's talented Musician, Lil Kesh (Keshinro Ololade). From our experience so far on the continent, we would probably be one of the youngest teams and we want to continue to give our very best. Winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup competing with some of the best teams in the world has helped in building our confidence. Winning the trophy in Chile has always been our biggest motivation coupled with the encouragement we are getting from coach Emmanuel Amuneke; who was one of the best players during his playing days. There is a strong level of competition in the team but we are not jealous of one another; we see ourselves as brothers and friends.

Manu Garba Plays Down U-17 Ruthless Streak In Front Of Goal
[/size]

Head coach of the Nigeria U-17 team Manu Garba is refusing to be carried away by his team goal scoring run in their first two friendly games as he believes a lot still need to be done before their qualifiers against Niger Republic next month.


The new assembled U-17 team have been scoring goals for fun and conceding few in return since they start playing test games after a one month screening exercise at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja.


In two games against none league sides, they have scored 11 goals without conceding any but the coach is insisting there’s still work to be done before they begin their 2017 Africa Youth Championship Qualifiers with a game against Niger Republic.


” We have absolute confidence in the players we have selected for the U-17s and with their recent results it shows they are almost learning to play the way we want them to but there’s still a lot to work on, we are not close to getting what we want from them, they obviously can do more” Coach Manu told Owngoalnigeria.com.


“In the games we have played so far, we could have scored more and we could have conceded as well, those little margins we have to work on it before our first qualifiers, the team is still a work in progress but we are ahead of time in terms of preparations for the Niger game”.

Charlton Athletic GK Suffers Training Ground Injury At Nigeria U17s Camp
Published: July 19, 2016
[/size]

Charlton Athletic shot-stopper Edward Ogbebor-Onaiwu can only resume goalkeeping duties at the Golden Eaglets get-together in Abuja next week after picking up an injury in his first training session with the team on Monday.

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Ogbebor-Onaiwu’s finger popped out of place when a player trod on it.

Coach Manu Garba was due to run the rule over the 15-year-old in a practice game on Wednesday, but he has been ruled out of the scrimmage because of his swollen finger.


The Addicks youth-teamer will remain with the squad nonetheless, maintaining his fitness by stretching and running and will also be involved in possession drills but will not be in between the pipes.


Another foreign-based youngster, who plays in Germany, is only training with the Golden Eaglets team while on holiday and has no plans to be part of the camp at the moment.

Ovie Ejaria Inching Closer To Breaking Into Liverpool First Team After Impressing Klopp
[/size]

The talented Nigerian midfielder Ovie Ejaria is inching closer to breaking into the first team of Liverpool two years after his arrival at Anfield from Arsenal, based on his performances at pre-season.


Ejaria showed his qualities in two pre-season fixtures against Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town, and the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is impressed.


“Ovie (Ejaria)– what a player, (in) the first game and today again, ” Klopp said to liverpoolfc.com.

“They are a little bit tired. Really good players, smart players, well educated. It’s good to see. I’m happy with this.”


The 18-year-old Ejaria is eligible to represent England and Nigeria but committed his international future to the Africans two years ago and trained with the Golden Eaglets prior to the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup.

Failed Arsenal target Chukwueze, Zakari, Ikwu sparkle in Sudan
[/size]
One-time Arsenal target Samuel Chukwueze as well as central defenders Lukman Zakari and Ejike Ikwu were the standout players for Nigeria’s Flying Eagles as they came from behind to beat home team Sudan 2-1 in an U20 AFCON qualifier in Khartoum.


Chukwueze, whose initial move to Arsenal of England collapsed and is now bound for FC Porto, scored Nigeria’s equaliser in the 67th minute as he stepped up his game in the second half of a very tough contest.

Arsenal’s loss will now be Porto’s gain.


Sudan took the game to the Nigeria U20s, but they found the Flying Eagles central defence combo of Lukman Zakari and Ejike Ikwu, who rose up to the challenge to ensure their team did not let in a second goal.


Zakari is on the books of Tunisian club CS Sfaxien, while Ikwu is set for an overseas switch later this year.


It was a central defence that won Nigeria a fifth FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile in November.

Osimhen destroys hosts Sudan for Flying Eagles
[/size]
Victor Osimhen snatched a later winner for Nigeria’s Flying Eagles to beat home team Sudan 2-1 Sunday in a 2017 U20 AFCON qualifier at the El Merriekh Stadium in Khartoum.


Sudan’s Young Falcons held their own for most part of this clash against a Flying Eagles side, who paraded several stars from Nigeria’s FIFA U17 World Cup triumph last year including Osimhen, who is bound for German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.


The return leg will be played in Nigeria in a fortnight with the overall winners advancing to the U20 AFCON in Zambia in February.


The hosts took the lead through striker Mohamed after 27 minutes against the run of play.


However, Nigeria drew level in the 67thminute through Samuel Chukwueze.


Four minutes from time, Osimhen rose to the occasion to deal a crushing blow on the Falcons.


In stoppage time, the star striker then saw his effort saved at point-blank range.


Chukwueze, whose move to Arsenal fell through, had earlier come close to giving the Flying Eagles the winning goal in the 74thminute.


Sudan would have doubled their lead in the 56thminute, when Khalid was one-on-one with Flying Eagles goalkeeper Akpan Udoh only for him to fire off target.


It was massive miss as Nigeria continued to chase the game before they were eventually rewarded .


The Nigerians coped well with the boiling heat in Sudan and could have even gone ahead in the 22nd minute, but midfielder ‘Paul Scholes’ Gavi Thompson failed to beat the Sudan goalkeeper Adam after going clear of the defence.


Two minutes later, danger man Victor Osimhen was denied by the outstanding Sudan goalkeeper, before his header in the 26th minute crashed against the crossbar.


Defender Ejike Ikwu was booked in the 36thminute for a rough tackle.


Flying Eagles starting XI vs Sudan
Akpan Udoh – Udochukwu Anumudu, Ibe Tobechukwu, Lukman Zakari, Ejike Ikwu – Chukwudi Agor, Gavi Thompson, Kelechi Nwakali, Okonkwo Orji, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen
