Most homophobes are undercover gays trying to convince themselves that they are not gay. If you hate something but you find yourself inclined to it, you'll usually try to hate it more aggressively.

It is called reaction formation.

Many of these homophobes use this defense mechanism to suppress the guilt they bear from being gay. They internalize the behaviors of those who detest gay people, and feel alright.

I have already identified some of them on this thread. They are supposed to hate gay people, but they don't shy away from being generous in their referral to gay sex.

But baba has always acted the roles of a wicked king, good king, dictator, ritualists group leader, ritualist and good or a bad father and Villain These he has always acted so great and interpreted well with good English and propriety of vastness in interpretation. And recently, as a prisoner.

I would have loved to see him acting the roles of. Teacher, criminal , comedian, soft lover, etc..

He acts all these role exactly the same way.

His facial expressions are always flat and predictable, his movements, his use of space (he doesn't use much space, he doesn't even look like he knows how to use space which is why he likes the role of king where he would sit 99% of the acting time).

I don't hate the man. I just stated the truth. Mr Edochie in real life is the same Mr Edochie as a policeman, priest, prisoner, dictator, ritualists, etc.

That is not acting. That is more like cramming. You cram the script and come in to pour out the role of policeman as Mr Edochie.

You are supposed to act Constable Wale, but we see 100% Mr Edochie reading Constable Wale's lines.

I have always said it that the man can't act.

He is revered in Nigeria does not mean he can act. How many Nigerian actors can even act to start with.

Edochie acts policeman, chief, priest, prisoner the same way. His expressions are always the same, he sits most of the time and stares into space while talking.

Truth be told, the Nigerian audience make these actors lazy. Edochie is so revered here in Nigeria that he does not know how bad his acting is.

New Nollywood directors would only send a script to him out of politeness. Those who know about acting will never want him to feature in their movies.

His son, however poor himself, is a far better actor than Edochie.

if a friendly is tagged grade A by FIFA , u dare not send B team , cos they use it in their monthly ranking .

So, how did you know the friendly was not grade A?

Moreover, the Argentina that beat us 3-1 under Siasia was star-studded.

Truthbites:
This one na alligator

Why?

I have noticed that some Nigerians ignorantly refer to small crocodiles as alligators. To them, alligators are far smaller than crocs.

Adult alligators and crocs. can be almost indistinguishable to a lay person.

And for your information, there are no alligators in Africa. We only have crocodiles.

majamajic:
they will send u not more that 3 of their first eleven


grade A will have more than 8 first eleven

But how would you know who Brazil would send?

Were you one of those who attested to the agreement?

majamajic:
the Abuja 2011 was not grade A friendly

What do you mean by a first grade friendly?

How can you tell it was not a first grade friendly?

majamajic:
it's a lie sir , the Argentina friendly Rohr was our coach , we played them 4:2 before world cup in 2018

We played Argentina twice under Siasia.

We won the first 4-1. Messi did not feature.

We lost the second 3-1. Argentina came with all their stars of that time, including Messi and Angel di Maria.

majamajic:
and u think a local coach will demand for Brazil ?

We would have played Brazil in 2012 but the match was called off. Stephen Keshi was coach back then.

Samson Siasia was coach when we played a star-studded Argentine team.

Any coach can demand a team. It is now left for the NFF to reach out to the football association of the country of interest.

Guimaraes win or draw against Arsenal.

BTTS: Yes.

majamajic:
at least he can scout and select based on present form of players , do u see the number of players we got in these few years and many more are still coming , do u see the kin of grade A friendly matches he is fixing ?

a local coach can't fix a Brazilian grade A friendly , let's not argue

stick with your local coaches , I like foreign coaches for super eagles

First of all, it is NFF that organizes friendlies, not Rohr.

Second, the number of players trooping into the Super Eagles are not Rohr's work alone. We have a technical team selected by NFF which keeps tabs on development, including on player overall ratings.

Some of these players have already debuted for or have been invited even before Rohr came onboard. We have always had them. Someone like Troost Ekong was first invited by Stephen Keshi. I think Leon Balogun was also first invited by Keshi.

majamajic:
Rohr is better than any local coach available for now , who do we have ?


tribalistic Local coaches !!

look at the local coach that took over falcons , after 1-1 with Cote de vore , he sitting and waiting for extra time ,

Gernot Rohr banks on luck. He plays tactless, directionless football.

He is not a good coach. Even NFF knew it, and tried to send the man on a refresher course.

Chimezirim121:
Nigeria football team is made up of Igbo players who will always play better than those of Hausa and Yoruba. But politics produced a rickety team which crashed earlier

Stop spewing nonsense.

With all your Igbo nonsense, we have never won the U-20 world cup or the world cup. Before the 2013 U-17 world cup, we used age-cheats to win three U-17 world cups.

Tell me, what difference has having more Igbos in the team done for our overall achievements as a footballing nation?

Our most prolific goalscorer remains a Yoruba man, Rashidi Yekini. He is also the first Nigerian to be crowned African Best Player. He was also the first Nigerian to score in the World Cup.

The first Nigerian footballer to be shortlisted for Africa's best player award was a Yoruba man, Segun Odegbami. Odegbemi was also the first Nigerian player to win the golden boot in any footballing competition (1980).

Ahmed Musa is Nigeria's highest goalscorer in our world cup history. He is not an Igbo man.

With all your Igbo nonsense, Amuneke was the only Igbo who scored in the 1994 world cup team.

This is not meant to downgrade the Igbo's contribution to our football. Just to let you know that a right team selection is the best, not necessarily a team full of Igbos. Because a team full of Igbos has never won us even an U-20 world cup. We should place more emphasis on comprehensive club scouting. I know of a Hausa guy back in 2008 who had the deft touches of Okocha. He was lanky, but could last on the pitch, dribbling, throwing passes, and all. We used to call him Mai Mai to mimick Jay Jay. Where is that guy today. He has probably forgotten football and gone to farming or cattle business.

Generally, Hausas don't really play football. But once in a while, you find one or two potential stars in their clubsides who our coaches would then ignore until the boy abandons football and joins the family business.

This is not about tribe. If the Igbos are ordinarily so good, we would have won more than we have won. But there is really no difference.

majamajic:
he should not near the super eagles pls

Why? Is Gernot Rohr better than him?

OTayobami:
This thread dey smell! I am so disappointed in the people here, the way the boys played obviously showed that there was no tactics at all, they were just given heavy fitness training that's all! Instead of you guys to discuss about that, y'all here are talking about Hausa and Igbo in the super and flying eagles? We are the problems of this country buy ourselves and am afraid to say it but this country can never be better with these mindset of ours!

Oh so you think if dem divide am, e go better?
You think all of you as Yoruba will love each other and no hate amongst yourselves? or you think all of you as Igbo will love each other and no hate amongst yourselves? or you think all of you as Hausa will love each other and no hate amongst yourselves?
I'll cut my balls off it the above happens!

Nigerians are so naive that's why the people in their government keeps taking advantage of them

Don't mind those tribalists.

This particular Eaglets squad has given us a lot to think and talk about. Yet, people are choosing to talk about tribalism.

According to them, if players had been picked from a section of the country, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

Very pathetic mentality. If tribalism keeps stopping us from discussing salient issues, we will never get anywhere with this country.

majamajic:
then he tried to succeed , now he feel he has arrived

I remember amunike and one other super eagle ex as his assistants

The man does not feel he has arrived. He was humbled as a Flying Eagles coach. He had to be demoted to handling the Golden Eaglets again.

I doubt if he felt he had arrived. Maybe, when he eventually gets the chance to coach a senior team, he would feel that way.

This team was obviously forced on him. But unlike his Oyinbo counterparts, he could not afford to let go of his job.

LZAA:

one nigeria indeed
told a mate that the selection of that team was lopsided he was saying no na one Nigeria
It's only here we still pick PE graduates and then NIS which is filled with PE graduates as football coaches but hey quota system right
A failed state does not need pointing

That squad does not even look like one Nigeria.

The scouts were obviously influenced by money.

majamajic:
after their first match , I go check the team list , check where them do all their camping


I conclude that they can't even qualify from group stage


the coach is tribalistic in his selections and camping , just like the one that took us to under 20

they know where to get better players but the hate in them will not allow them , look at the team fanni amu selected in 93 , very perfect !!

If we looked at stats, I think NFF should be blamed.

This same Manu coached the team of 2013 to glory.

Too much interferences. That was why the Super Falcons' coach resigned. Too much unnecessary interferences.

Manu does not appear happy with the team he had to coach. But how many jobs are there in the country? The man just has to hold on to the job and try to do his best.

shogsman:
Point of correction, not everybody look up to Hollywood,Indian movies don't include English subtitles because they careless about people viewing their content outside of India.
There is nothing wrong connecting with The outside world after all we speak the same language, but the level of sucking up in this country is sickening.

Say only what you know.

Many Bollywood movies are dubbed in English, and many have subtitles.

shogsman:
Why do we look up to this people for approval
Moreso the movie is average at best

Every movie industry looks up to Hollywood. Even the much improved Bollywood have actors who aspire to be in Hollywood.

How many of our filmmakers know anything about movies? How many Nigerians even know anything about movies aside going to/or buying to watch?

How many of our notable cinematographers trained here in Nigeria? Even the cinematographer behind this Lionheart did not train in Nigeria.

This is not a matter of inferiority complex. We may invest some day and raise the standard of our film industry. But for now, we are still far behind.

We can't even organize the Headies properly.

veraponpo:
I grew up in Ibadan just like you and today I am a successful man in my field of endeavour. I am a professional to the core.

This is a wrong move, probably with a good intention.

The best thing to do is for the schools to be well funded, libraries to be well equipped and schools to be well-staffed. The following is what will possibly happen:

1. The materials may not be adequately distributed to all the schools
2. The supposed users may abuse it
3. Many of the users may not use it at all
4. If the students are not well taught, the past questions may be useless
5. These past questions are available already because past users have these past questions series packaged together, so this is almost a useless or clueless endeavour.

He needs to look into how schools are run. He may lay emphasis on how SSS classes are handled, libraries are equipped, teachers are employed, etc

God bless you.

Standard of education is what needs to be raised. Imagine throwing away 170 million naira on past questions, and some people here are applauding him.

I didn't even use past questions to pass my WAEC. We had dedicated teachers, and we put in our hearts to the lessons.

IceColdVeins:
It has already affected me. My mom has finally stopped the yarns of 'no money', whenever she calls me, as her phone now beeps the salary alert tone on the 25th of every month. I currently have lesser heads to worry about

You people talk as if Ajimobi was so bad.

In my opinion, Seyi Makinde is nothing but a smooth talker. He would end up doing nothing tangible.

majamajic:
sir since English is not our main language , why they went ahead to disqualify the movie?

I didn't write main

I wrote first

The people who forwarded the movie for appraisal cannot tell me that they did not read the guidelines before submitting.

Innovate07:
Speak for yourself. Fir some Nigerians. English is their mother tongue and the only language of communication they know. There are some Yorubas who will not understand a word of Yoruba, so how will that be their first language?

That a Yoruba man cannot speak Yoruba is not anyone's fault. It does not change the fact that English is a second language in Nigeria. It is our official language, but not our first language.

There are only four countries (independent countries) where English is a first language:

There are four nations where English is the de facto language and the primary language. These include Australia , New Zealand, the United Kingdom , and the United States.

majamajic:
in that category , they are considering the movies from locally made especially in other languages ,

but I think they have to consider other local countries that has English as first language which Nigeria belongs to

English is not our first language. It is actually our second language.

Your first language is your native language. I am Yoruba so Yoruba is my first language.

There are foreign countries where English is a first language, but many developing countries have their native languages.

Lionheart was not eligible in the first place. The award did not say English should not be used, but that the native language should be predominant. In the case of Lionheart, English was predominant.

Shehu ended up saying nothing in regards to why the movie was disqualified.


Just playing the victim's card as usual.

Jerrite:
Bro, have you been before a Nigerian university disciplinary committee for a fair hearing before, or you know someone who has? It's usually you against the country, you won't even see breathing space and your case would have been pre-decided, except you have someone there to fight on your behalf. Public education system in Nigeria is messed up with all the shades of wrong.

He obviously does not have any proofs. If he had, he would never have been expelled.

Afrika and many other SU leaders in the 80s and 90s did far more than this guy, although with much more wisdom and experience.

Afrika and others even accused a whole VC of providing support to cultists. They did not just accuse the VC as this particular guy did. They provided evidences of times when bad elements were expelled only to be reinstated through the backdoor and frolicking with Omole (the then VC).

If this guy had any evidence, the school would not have dared expel him just like that.

He has no evidence. He should have stuck to running commentaries on issues that every student, present and past, could easily corroborate.

For instance, more than 5 people that I know have also talked about the transportation issue and the police harassment.

These are the issues he should have chased. He should have learnt how the likes of Soyinka did it during their own time.

Xisnin:
Chai!
Unfortunately, I cannot get back the seconds I have wasted engaging you.

Be humble. You can't learn by being arrogant.

The student did not merely accuse the management of incompetence, he accused them of misappropriating funds, and licking asses for political appointments.

Supposing Mr X is the VC of FUNAAB. He budgets 1 million naira every year for ease of transportation, but after five years, the issue remains unresolved. Would you just conclude that Mr X has been misappropriating funds, especially if you have no evidence?

What if Mr X has been mismanaging the money, and not misappropriating it?

These are things that the law looks at.

Incompetence can make you mismanage funds. Mr X may never have even embezzled funds in his life, but his incompetence continues to make him mismanage funds.

Xisnin:
You have fallen for the management's propaganda.
Which evidence do you want him to present?
Is he not a student suffering from a lack of transportation and also SARS arrestment?

Didn't the VC budget millions every year for transport purposes?
Why was there no improvement?

The management cannot deny any of the facts stated in the open letter.
A good lawyer can extract millions in damages from the school management for illegal expulsion.

Just let the matter rest. The guy was rude, and deserved what he got.

For one thing, he didn't think the letter through. He could not even stay on a point, and he was all over the place. At a point, it appeared like he was calling out the management over misappropriation of funds, then he dabbles into sycophancy of the staff for political posts.

Here is one of the many unnecessary parts of his post which had/has no bearing on an open letter that ought to draw attention to the transportation and police harassment plaguing the school:

How do you expect a Professor who has received over 50 million dollars in grants from Bill Gates Foundation to be hustling to be a Vice-Chancellor, Dean or Director so he can start siphoning monies? He is busy of course! But right here in Funaab, it is the best thing that can happen to a Professor. He/She would celebrate God’s faithfulness as he/she now has unfettered access to public funds.

These are very serious accusations against every professor (even the good ones) of FUNAAB.

From the write-up: the bad English, the open insults and the unnecessary grandiose, it is very evident that he is a learner. Even activism is an act that needs to be patiently and thoroughly learnt before practice.

Next time, he should make a plan for what he hopes to achieve, and stay on the plan. You want to write an open letter to the VC stating your displeasure with the transportation and police harassment issues. You want to make sure you state only events that can be easily corroborated.

Gazzy88:
Rubbish and gibberish in joint collabo from a brainwashed African schooled from a university with Archaic syllabus. Chinese kids made the phone you typed that nonsense from.

And the knowledge they used to make the phones is through what?

Did anyone bring knowledge from heaven? We learnt what we know here on Earth either through informal or formal education.

OloladeWrites:
I'm sorry to say, you are the one that can't comprehend.. Stop making conclusions after read 1st paragraph. Did you even read the expulsion letter?
I can call out my Local Govt Chairman if the road to my house is bad. But the moment I put it there that my Local govt Chairman diverted the money meant for road works without having evidence then I should be expecting a law suit.
Calling out the school is a very good thing. In fact everyone in the school may support his claims but where is the 'Substantial Evidence'?
Let him call for a legal redress if he has evidence me l and was illegally expelled. It was in the expulsion letter that he couldn't provide evidence at the meeting the disciplinary committee invited him to, hence his expulsion.

God bless you abundantly.
