They definitely played us a fast one o.

I don't know why Osimhen cooperated with them.

We should have even left it how Collins own is, when he recovers, he'll continue with the squad and contribute what he can for the squad.

Is this a bad use of English or watchu trynna insinuate oga?

Papi85:
na joke oo

Come on, I knew you were joking

kingphilip:
Na so.

Make Nigeria call am to replace Igahlo jare

Can he still be recalled?

jieta:
Lol you be things.

I like your perspective, is good we have people who still practice our old traditional way of life.

It is our Identity. It is who we are.

Dem no dey telli person. Majority of failed marriages today showed red flags during courtship but many turned blind eyes to it. When the trouble go start for marriage na body go tell you. I'm very sure you won't forgive yourself especially when you remember that you saw the red flags and had the opportunity to avoid it. I'm not a proponent of clan/community stereotyping, but Arondizuogu, Ohafia, Abiriba, Arochukwu in the Igbo land have some spiritual configuration that only them and their people understands best. It is usually dangerous for outsiders (Non indigene) to venture to those places without due diligent investigation. Make God no let person go carry him head go magnet more problems in the name of marriage. Finally before you marry as a man, please it is not enough to know the girl alone, you must also understand her friends, and family view/mentality on issues before considering the marriage. Just like in football, her family and friends are the Technical directors/coaches through which the tactics she will be dishing out in marriage will come from.

On this note, I welcome everyone to this year's Afcon.. I can't wait for kick off. Abeg if you know of any medium through which I can stream live Afcon matches online, biko share..

From the bolded, stereotypically, where did you place Ezeagu Igbudu, especially Iwolo?

Papi85:
no knack person jazz here oo

Idíat!

You have been misled by dem clergies who lied to you that the traditional way of life is evil.

Lol! I don't knack jazz because I'm not evil, but I have ofor na ogu that fights my battles.
I will never wish a fellow man death, but if you wish me death, as long as you walk this Earth and you drink water. The earth will hunt you down, and the water you drink will become poison to you. That is just it. I believe in egbe belu... and whoever said we shall not live, shall take a leave before us to go find out what life looks like at the other side

Mujtahida:
You are a traditionalist and I like that. I like the Igbo concept of Chi the physical representation of which is the ikenga. It's empowering.
Late Prof Sophie Oluwole did quite a lot in explaining yoruba cosmology. She's on YouTube

Yes, I am though I was born a Catholic, and sent to the best Catholic and one of best secondary schools in Nigeria "Order of the Monks - Marist Brothers" just so I could be taken away from my traditional roots because they saw the signs even before my birth. Lol I started serving mass in the Catholic church as a little kid and I served till I left the university( I can still serve till tomorrow, if I wish to because I love it), but then, I knew who I was all along. I love the Catholic church due to its doctrines that somehow align with the teachings of African traditional religion.

I'm not one who trashtalks other religions but I still Accord Christianity its respect because of the Catholic Church.

I just love the traditional way of life where I observe my Chi, Ndi mmiri( what you call the marine world), Ajala(mother Earth), anyanwu na Agbara, onye uwa(incarnate) and others.

Make peace with your Chi and your heart will know enormous peace.

andrewbaba44:
Lol if dem start musa nothing I fit do nah ,Na to just support the team ,e no get anybody wey even want musa to start

This one wey musa play well against Cotonsport

Musa has never had a good AfCon. He was woeful in 2013 with his blonde hair, still woeful in 2019, let's see how he does now.

Papi85:
ok bros thanks a lot

I hear say the pple too strong especially the part the girl is from which is ndiuche. Her late grand father was a strong known native doctor. His name is igwe and he had many wives

Just pull out.

Papi85:
@chriskel if you know ndizogu well she is from ndiuche

Lol I sabi Aro Ndi Izuogu well. Sha, there jazz strong but that year my grandfather's right hand man, Chief Ikonne a.k.a "Air-raid", "Agu na-eche mba 1 of Isuikwuato" dey always put them in their places. Several times, in a contest, he defeated and brought back home the rams of Mezuo Okoye a.k.a "Pericoma" Lion of Africa", “Arusi Makaja 1 of Arondizuogu", "Arusi izuogu na iheme. Speed Darlington's father

Bro, abeg as your mind no strong, just pull out of that marriage, ka udo chia

Papi85:
bro I never discussed my fear to this men of god. I only told them of my plans of getting married to a particular girl but needs to ask questions as well as seek the face of god

The answers I got from this different men of God where pointing to one direction and the same interpretation bro I no go lie you

That if I end up with the girl that I won’t enjoy the marriage and that I will be miserable till the day I die. That the girls grand dad was a renowned native doctor when he was alive. That there are strong forces against the family which will turn to battle me immediately I settle with this girl

Oya bro mk I burst your head. The girl is a pretty girl and hv cousins that are even more beautiful than here within the age bracket of 23-25 none is married. Sometime last yr I was even pushed to ask her this ur fine cousins does it mean no man Dey see them to marry? She opened up to me that women in her family find it difficult to marry

Even her dads 3 sisters that got married all returned to their fathers house with kids. I was shocked

This dreams I hv been having them even before I visited their place on the 28 of December. It was after the visit that I went home for a burial on the 6th of January and informed my kinsmen of my plans which all kicked against

Your mind is made up bro. If you are convinced within yourself that there are elements of truth in your fears and that you can't handle it, then cancel the union, and get yourself another girl, otherwise, if you end up with the girl, any little challenge wey you get, you go dey fear and you go dey suspect her, you go begin see her as reason for the challenges, like that, peace dun run from your home oo.

This is just my little advice nwanne m

TheSuperNerd:
I have a really good feeling about Kelechi at this Afcon. Ismael Bennacer of Algeria was still at Empoli when he went to the Afcon with Algeria and shone so Bright. Immediately after the Afcon, lad signed for Milan.

This Afcon is gonna be huge for Kelechi. Not just him though. I feel Aribo's next move is also gonna be kinda linked to his Afcon showings.

Wishing our lads the best of the very best.

When be our first match sef?

Papi85:
bro I am a Christian and hv consulted 3 different men of God about this issue and they demanded for the girls family name and community and said I should call back in the next for response and if no response comes that they will still be pushing until a sign comes

Brother can u imagine that the result I got were all negative about the girl. That if I marry her that the union won’t last after 2 kids and that I will live the rest of my life miserably. Even they told me that God hv been giving me signs about the girl especially through dreams but because of the love I hv for this girl ignored all

I hv dated this girl in question over a year now, next month will make us 2yrs together

Pastors and so called prophets can be manipulative and they tend to feed on your fears. I don't trust them, they lie a lot. Were you having those dreams before or after the warnings from people?

Papi85:
bro I don’t want to spill the girls fault because I myself do hv flaws as well. No one is perfect and even with her flaws I still made the move of going to her place to familiarize myself with her family

My fear is how almost everybody I hv told about my intentions advised and cried that I should back out. Even prophesies from 3 different men of God came and all was pointing at one direction which is negative

My bro I truly love this girl with all my heart but in a situation where friends and family who should be happy that I am about settling down instead are crying and begging me to back out it’s no good sign

You know the girl more than they do. Now, ask them to tell you why they don't want you to go there.

If you were not a Christian, I would have suggested that you run consultations(igba afa) on her head to see if the road clear or not.

Me, I won't settle with a woman without thorough consultations, not what people say or believe.

If the signs are bad, back off. Mail me their reasons and the signs if you wish.

Papi85:
Hello house, abeg e get issue wey Dey bother me here for the past 1 week now which I would love to share to get opinion and advise

I am in love with a lady whom I wish to settle down with and already visited her place for introduction on the 28th of last month. Her family welcomed me and her father was pleased to see me for the first time saying he have heard a lot about me

Let me say that I hv told a lot of pple of my plans and I must confess that 80% out of 100 warned me seriously not to proceed and if I do that it won’t end well

But the biggest problem now is that the lady in question is from arondizogu in ideato north and many of my kinsmen and relative hv been warning me not to move ahead with my plans on getting married to the lady because of her origin. She is from ndiuche in arondizongu and from my personal findings the result I got about the place is terrifying and at this point I am confused. Hv not been able to sleep for the past few nights

Is there anyone that knows arondizogu very well here?

You didn't state even a single fault from either the girl, her family or Izuogu, neither did the people who have been advising you to quit. Dude all I read here is stereotype, unless you don't wanna spill it all.

I have had great experience with a lady from Aro Ndi Izuogu, precisely, Ujari. Luckily, just like myself, the lady bu onye mmiri(this might scare you because of the lies your clergies tell you, but mind you, water no get enemy) and the experience was great.

Jibola Adebola on his best behavior. Our midfield has finally been rescued. Go out there to do your thing ogboo m. After this AfCoN, then that EPL move that has been on the card for a while now, would be a sure banker.

Kinsmenn:
Haaa... I still don't believe it..

But if you genuine, y the chidozieaina moniker name?

Na today you begin comment on soccer sites? Back in 2011/12, I was Kwaku Mensah on Ghanasoccernet.com. In 2017 few days before our battle in Ndola, I met an OkochaOyedepo on Zamfoot, and he was a Zambian.

The way he combined the names(ChidozieAina) alone, should already tell you he ain't Nigerian. By the way, this isn't the first time he is telling us he is an Algerian

minfelix:
Yeah mostly warming the bench and sometimes not being called up by coached

That aside, Musa made his debut three years before Omeruo

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos naa... what else am I expecting you to say? Your newest favorite concubine is Senegalese. The Malian bae just dey drag 2nd choice for now with your disappointing Ivorians.

Lol I no get Senegalese concubine, the few I tried to razzle that year no gree give me face because I couldn't speak Wolof

But on a more serious note bro, Senegal are really looking great for the AfCoN as they are looking to break a jinx

andrewbaba44:
You are not the only one o

TheSuperNerd:
They could falter if they come up against a team who will drag the middle game dynamics with them and frustrate them at their own game. Also, don't rule out some touch of luck.

I recall vividly how heavily Luck worked against Morocco at the last Afcon vs Benin Republic in the Round of 16. Hit the Post, missed big chances, missed even a penalty from Ziyech, and more. It just wasn't going well and eventually they caved in psychologically and the squirrels triumphed.


But like My Dad, Chief Icon4s has opined, this tournament could indeed go the way of a west African giant. West African teams are likely to rise strongest at this edition but notwithstanding, the Algerians are still good. Time will tell it all.

I have my money on Senegal

chrisooblog:
He don divorce CIV after the multiple disgrace he got at the Olympics and world cup qualifiers. Mali is now bae

Idíat

I never divorce them oo my brother

Icon4s:
Mr Francophone is here
How your in-laws from Senegal, Mali, Ivory coast and Morocco?


Well, for me, Algeria would be a team to beat but i don't think their 'favorites' tag is absolute like some members here are putting it. I see teams from West Africa coming out strong in this AFCON.

Nwanne where have you been?

I agree that they are a team to beat, but I just don't rate them that highly

Icon79:
Hey Chris, are you from Achara Layout? I grew up there, bro - Mkpofia/Amawbia axis

Wow, it’s a small world, yo.


O pari

I be Achara layout, through and through. I grew up adjacent St Paul's Catholic church, Off Igbariam and Mayor Junctions, precisely Nnajinwugwu street, the next street to Amah street where Chinedu Okoli(Flavour N'abania) also grew up. Me and others including Edu Malaga(Chisom Egbuchulam's younger brother), Obinja(Obinna Nwobo) who was a mass server then for All Saints Catholic church were ball boys when the likes of Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi, Flavour N'abania(ezigbote JB ) and co were playing street football at St Paul's semi Sandy pitch.

Achara Layout get men oo!

Are you a Sempre, UNEC sec, Command, Federal, Union or Army Day old boy?

Mujtahida:
But his opinion does not accord with the slant you gave it as he never said Nigeria has a better midfield than Ghana. He merely put that as a stand alone point without referring to Nigeria. Why recast it in another mould?

I decided to ignore him and be polite for a reason

[s]

komekn:
Don't count your chicken before they are hatched. Our friendly brother Nation Ghana should not be dismissed so easily.

By all means support your nation but it's not wisdom to denigrate another nation with emotive negative bias not objectivity.

Look at Ghana midfielder, all playing at high levels.

Ayew Andre ( no introduction needed)
Thomas Partey - Arsenal
Iddrisu Baba - Mallorca
Mubarak Wakaso (Shenzhen)
Mohammed Kudus - Ajax
Kamaldeen Sulemana - Rennes

These are Ghana's midfielders, l haven't put any one playing in leagues below the top 7 in Europe, apart from Wakaso who left La Liga, for Chinese ££$$.

Now let's look at our midfielders, would you say we have players in our midfielde that are COMPREHENSIVELY better than Ghana, l would not even suggesi it.

A friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults“ — Mario Puzo


Onyeka - Brentford
Aribo - Rangers
Ndidi - Leicester
Ejuke - CSKA
Nwakali - SD Huesca - Segunda Division
Alex Iwobi - Everton.

If we adopt this your condescending dismissive attitude we will beaten by Sudan.

[/s]

Another total rubbish. Did you see the match that made me make that post?

andrewbaba44:
The handwriting is clear there ,and aside that even with a million naira offer I am not interested .

Hahahahahaha Oliseh nwanne m


I will rephrase the the statement in simpler terms; "I'm not sure, but Awoniyi tends to miss more than he scores"

Did you see anything wey be like conclusion when I dun already acknowledge say I no sure?

andrewbaba44:
You haven’t observed him closely ,so do you come to conclusion that he tends to miss more than he scores ?

Bro, if you could point out where a conclusion was drawn in that post, I would transfer the sum of 5000naira to your account immediately, make you take brew. No jokes

Do it, and then drop your aza via email make I credit you

forgiveness:
You haven’t observed him closely but you arrived at a deduction “he tends to miss more than he scores”. Hmmmm!

What contradiction!

Dude was that statement really that complex for you to easily decipher? Yes, English isn't our language but the simplest of it shouldn't be that hard to comprehend. What's the function the word "maybe" and what does the word "tend" really mean to you?

How could you talk about drawing a conclusion when there was a probable(maybe) preceeding your statement to authomatically give it a sense of uncertainty?

How did you pass GST101

drDoom3:
I am not mocking anyone. I am only pointing out facts using sarcasm and irony.

It is all part of the english language we speak everyday (at least for most of us).

Hmmm okay. Daalu

drDoom3:
Now if you play as an AM and more in the opponent's half than yours, these faults could slide in non-high-tempo games. Nwakali is an 8 though: if the ball gets past him, it's Ndidi and our inshallah defense. Ndidi can try his best but you can't expect him to do Nwakali's defensive duties to mark players while Nwakali strolls on the pitch waiting to receive the ball so he can "command the midfield".

Pass your message without unnecessary mockery and subtle jibes.
