Let's just hope we don't have to play Ivory Coast. Otherwise, we might as well forfeit.

Tonight's display was terrible. We didn't even deserve to win. Luckily Victor Moses was there to win and convert those penalties.

Now what we need to focus on is our midfield. Hope fully Fegor Ogude will NEVER see the field again. Even Mikel was useless. Why not put Ogeny Onazi on instead, or Obiorah Nwankwo?

And what of Reuben Gabriel? Certain people on this board were ranting and raving about him.

Also, Ideye Brown should partner Emenike upfront. They worked well together in the opening match.

Aight, so they gonna pick Reuben Gabriel and Fegor Ogude ahead of Rabiu Ibrahim and Joel Obi?

And how can they pick Ejike Uzoenyi and Sunday Mba ahead of Bright Dike and Victor Anichebe?

Boi....

honeric01:

Well yes, he's a good midfielder who can pay in a defensive and offensive role, he's got the built of Olofinjana but faster and more precised than Olofin. He's also very good at scoring and can even play as a defender. almost an all-rounder player and yes he's a Nigerian league player (Kano pillars)

So he's NOT the playmaker type?

If he ain't, then who cares?! I'm sure he can't cut it at international level anyway.

I notice people keep including Reuben Gabriel.....

Is he THAT good?

Firstly, let me say that I'm GLAD they included Rabiu Ibrahim .

But how they gonna leave out Joel Obi, Osaze Odemwingie, Sone Aluko, Lukman Haruna and Sone Aluko

Some joke.

Then they include SHOLA AMEOBI (U fv<king serious?), Danny Shittu, Ike Uche, Reuben Gabriel and Fegor Ogude??

Wow

Good game.

But as someone said, this team needs more time to train together as a team. I still saw typical Nigerian errors here, so lots of work needs to be done.

And add RABIU IBRAHIM and LUKMAN HARUNA to the mix

honeric01:

Then you weren't watching the same match with the rest of us.. pls tell, how did Nigeria get the 6 goals scored? straight from enyeama or straight from the defenders?

Oh YES I was.

Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa did much more than those 2 vagabons.

honeric01: Nosa is there to take the role, he played well in the second half and bossed the midfield together with Mikel. I repeat Haruna and Rabiu can't do zilch in this current SE.

I saw that second half and didn;t even notice them touch the ball. Only time Mikel touched the ball was when he scored that penalty.

Can't be serious mate.

honeric01:

I don't have time to waste, Rabiu Ibrahim can't do nada in this current national team, SAME goes with Haruna,both can't do zilch! the coach is only going to use the players who prefers that can fit into his style. nothing more, nothing else.

What style?
For years, our team has been missing a good central midfielder that can carry the ball up the field and control things. That has been lacking and it STILL shows. Some of these midfielders have shown they're not up to the task.

Nosa Igiebor is useless, and he's an attacking midfielder?? And Mikel just stands there.

Though Haruna and Ibrahim haven't been playing regularly for their respective teams, I guarantee they can do MUCH more for this team than Mikel, Igiebor, and anybody else in the midfield for that matter.

honeric01:

The coach does not need them, he has never used them and i don't see him using them because these guys can't boss the midfield in any serious game. especially the national (senior) team.

I still remember how Haruna cost us the game against Germany. And as for Rabiu, even Joe Obi is better used than him.

What game did Haruna cost against Germany? U mean in the under-20's?

Haruna was one of our best, if not, our best player next to Kalu Uche at the World Cup. And for some unknown reason, Lagerback dropped him for the game against Korea.

And you're having a laugh if you think Joel Obi is better than Rabiu Ibrahim. Joel Obi can't control the midfield like Rabiu can. U honestly gonna argue that? Obi just runs and loses the ball.

Jarus:
Bros, forget about Rabiu Ibrahim and probably Haruna. Haruna is not even making Dynamo Kiev first 11. I don't even know where Rabiu is now, the last time I heard about he was struggling to get a shirt in Celtic. And these are the guys you want to play against CIV or even Mali, whose team are replete from first-teamers in Chelsea, Newcastle, Arsenal, and other top clubs in France and Spain?

Neither is Nosa Igiebor at Real Betis. At least Rabiu Ibrahim has ONE game for Celtic LOL. Igiebor has 0 games at Real Betis.

I think Rabiu was injured for a month or so like a month ago so he'll get his run in time.

And Lukman Haruna is always a feature at Dinamo Kiev, whether starting or on the bench. He's not completely ignored at all.

Either way, better these people than NOBODY/NOBODIES in our central midfield.

Now THIS is a squad.

Brown Anichebe


Musa R. Ibrahim Lukman Moses



Taiwo Yobo Ambrose Oboabona


Enyeama


I dare someone to disagree.

Blood_Shed: WHat's the name of that Naija song where the chorus goes something like "Ding ding DOOOOOOooooNG, ding ding DOOOOOOOOoooong"??

So nobody knows?

LMAO@ OP

No mention of Lukman Haruna, Victor Anichebe or Rabiu Ibrahim?

What of Michael Eneramo, who's scoring in Turkey, or even Peter Utaka?

LOL

WHat's the name of that Naija song where the chorus goes something like "Ding ding DOOOOOOooooNG, ding ding DOOOOOOOOoooong"??

somalia6:


genetically we are not negroid. we are our own ethnicity the somalis.

racially we are cushitic along with ethios, eritreans and us somalis.


if we were black we would look like the negroids

Well, the Black race is very diverse. Fulani people for example have a similar background to Somalians, but they are still Black. What about Ibo/Calabari people, African-Americans and Caribbeans. Many of them are light-skinned but still black.

Well, Somalia is quite diverse, you have some who are really light-skinned and have more of that Arab blood.

But they are generally Black people, yes.

Ameobi wouldn't be a bad inclusion actually.

But after watching the match on Saturday, the fact still remains, and I've been saying this here for years, there's a hole in our midfield.

We need someone who carries the ball up the field. Who's our playmaker? And please don't say Mikel. Lukman Haruna is much better than Mikel. And what of Rabiu Ibrahim? How does Nigeria still look over him?

And it's interesting that Ameobi is being considered, but they're still hesitating over Victor Anichebe

shymmex:

Bruv, where on Aylesbury estate did you live? We used to live on latimer blocks... If you know Latimer, you should know Richy and his brothers - one of them did it (I don't want to dry snitch on here). But they're cool with us now..

Do you know Tipsy? And the Nigerian guy that was shot dead on Walworth road by yardies in like 1999/2000?

Nah don't know them, like I said I was only there BRIEFLY before moving somewhere else in South-East (but not far). But I'm round there quite often.

But you see this.......How often do you hear about Africans shooting at Caribbeans or AAs Not often, but the other way.......A LOT!!

But its always US that start it, right? lol

shymmex:

Fam, you know being African in the UK them times was peak... I have an uncle who was shot on Aylesbury estate just for being African by JA mans in 93..

You know mandem had to form African gangs in South London to defend themselves against Jamaicans them times..

Where in London are you from?

Firstly south-east, then North-West London. And we lived on Aylesbury Estate briefly around the early 90s. Sorry bout ur uncle though. But yeah it was bad, but I never recalled Africans being shot simply for being African them times.

But I never really experienced that much negativity in terms of being African, although some people did get their heads caved in.

shymmex:

Never mind!!!

You don't understand what I was talking about. I was talking about growing up in the UK with my UK 'bredrin'.

Um, yeah, and so was I. I grew up in the UK too.

shymmex:

Bwhahahahahaha

Those were the days then when being African wasn't the thing in the UK... You had to lie to people that you were Jamaican...

But the relations between us and them JA people have improved..

Dunno about you, but I was one of the FEW Nigerians I knew that NEVER claimed JA or Caribbean. Even though they always used to mistake me for that. And YEAH certain Jamo got boxed for dissing my African heritage.

Although some Africans DO talk crap about AA's/Caribbeans, It's mostly them that insult Africans to begin with. Africans don't bully other blacks the same way they do to us. Lets just be real here.

Why are people bringing this girl's family and business out there?

Violation to the fullest. Guess the internet makes some people feel invincible.

Nobody should make slavery jokes.

What some Africans and diasporan blacks don't seem to understand is that, families in Africa were also destroyed by slavery. Think about who the slaves were forced to leave behind when the ELITES sold them. SMH Black people......

Come on man, how's this gonna turn into an Africa vs AA beef.

Naija got outclassed, CLEARLY. NO DEBATING!!!

We cal still qualify though, we got Argentina and France next. Both teams are hard as hell though.

kasiem:

Why is it that yoruba women loves beating their husbands always? Is it because there's no serious law against it?

I KNEEEEW this was gonna be the topic here.

The other day at work I reminded a Yoruba guy that their women are mostly the ones who wear the trousers in their relationships.

No idea where to go or who I can go to?

I mean there must be someone who knows how to do this.

denzel2009:

Your deleted emails on hotmail were stored on their servers not on your hard drive. If I can still see my sent items since 2001, you can still get your deleted emails but they won't do it because you just want to re-read all the romantic email ping pong between you and your ex.

It has to be on an extreme need-to-know basis though, maybe if you are a Russian spy or a threat to humanity and the government are gathering information on you.

LOL Nah I didn't exchane any saucy or incriminating emails. Only a fool does that, and unfortunately there are many like that out here.

I just have some emails I need to check up on.

I also need to know the ENTIRE login history because on my personal Hotmail I remember being hacked in 2007 once and some dude was sending funny messages to my contacts on MSN, not on Hotmail but on MSN.
And I know they are capable of providing me with that info because they provided me with some login records from 2004 (all the way back then), not all, but some. So if they can do that then they can prodive me with all login records from 2008-2009.

And I was in Nigeria then so if I see an IP address from another country in those records then we have a problem.

I explained it to them but they are just being stingy and ignoring my questions. I called Microsoft and they said I can only get help on the forums and those on the forum are absolutely useless and unprofessional.

Any ideas?

If this doesn't mean we're going to have more Nigerian content then who the hell cares?!

denzel2009:

They would be sanitized/degaussed. Even at that, there are state-of-the-art recovery tools with corporations such as the fbi and cia to recover data from the disks. The best way to get rid and protect information on the hard disk is to totally destroy it by incineration.

Thanks man lol.

Outt curiosity, can hotmail also recover deleted emails from a particular account?


I know they can recover the login history because they told me that they cannot recover info from 2008, yet them show me records of my Hotmail IP login history from bloody 2004, but they don't show me every single log?


How can I obtain that info?

SMH

Like this only applies to Naija women.

As an Atheist against men getting married, if I had to choose then I'd GLADLY marry a Muslim woman. She can practice her religion around me, it's nothing.

Islamic culture encourages women to be WOMEN, and not hoes (even though IMO most women are hoes anyway, at least Muslim women try lol).
