Na so.

It was even during all those arguments I learnt about the major ethnic groups and languages in Ghana. And which players belonged to which ethnic group and which name belong to which Ethnic group. Some Nigerians will go and form one fake moniker and will bear Ghanaian names like Koffi_kwame. And then be making comments like "we Ghanaians should give up. Nigerians are better than us....bla-bla-bla". And the Ghanaians will be smart enough to tell him he is no Ghanaian that no Ghanaian can say such a thing( And very true). And they will go further to say who bears Koffi Kwame? The Nigerian Doesn't know they are names from different ethnic Groups. Just like someone bearing Efe_Dalung. Lol..

Those guys no know joy at all. They will just digress from football and start insulting somebody's President and economy.

Nigerians called them Gayna while they called us Nigayrians. Looking back at those days I cannot but laugh. Looks childish to me now though.

I thought I was the only one who got educated by that banter. I was forced to read more about ghana, the culture, tribes, economy and names. I was once guilty of that name mixture when I was caught, I hurriedly logged out, got materials and read everything about their ethnic groups, names and of course crimes as a my war tools


Lol just recently I read a post on zambianfootball.co.zm where one Zambian was disguising as a Nigerian saying our football is crap that the copper bullets are now better than our Eagles and that Achor and Iwobi are amateurs compared to Sinkala and Kalaba with the moniker "Okocha Adeboye" lol I couldn't control my laughter because the trick reminded me of my ghanasoccernet.com days

Youth football funny sha, while the then more illustrious Osimhen, KC Nwakali, even Chukwueze are still struggling to come up, orji okonkwo is already a starter for bologna

Ekong starts again but Aina makes the bench as Udinese take on Torino.

O boy do I need to tell you that I celebrated in tears when Nigeria beat Bosnia at the 2014 WC?

The Ghanaians were always touting us that the last time we won a WC game was in 1998 (16 years back as at then). If we want to challenge dem they will say "wake me up when you win your next WC game". And this was a period, a couple of years after Ghana reached the WC quarter finals. They won us 4-1 in a friendly in 2007, 2-1 at the AFCON 2008 Q/Finals and 1-0 at the 2010 AFCON semis. That period was the best time to be a Ghanaian on Kickoff. Dem come get mouth pass us, our Super Eagles just dey fall our hand dey go. Come even became Super Chickens. We missed AFCON in 2012 join am. And the Ghanaians so much capitalised on that to shame us.

Our liberation started coming when Uche Nwofor scored the decider when we beat Ghana 2:1 during the 2011 AYC in the group's opener. Nigeria winning the AFCON in 2013 was a major blow to their ego and the icing on the cake was that 6-1 demolition at the CAF U17 followed by our display at the U17 WC that year. Something Ghana have not won since 1995 till date.

Them still dey get mouth call us "Super Chicken, with a 16years winless strick" until we beat Bosnia in 2014 and worst still dey crashed out without a single victory. Kickoff was short-down shortly after that. O boy no be small war then o.

I once decided to stay away from visiting Kickoff for 1 week after we lost to Ghana at the 2010 AFCON.

While fighting with Ghanaians we still dey fight against South Africa. Those ones we call tgem our wives. Sometimes the rest of Africa will gang up against Nigeria. I don't know where many of those our guys dey now sef.

Chai memories ooo!! I was so pained that I missed that liberation of a match against Bosnia that was played in the night. I got this new babe then from the nursing dept. in skul who came over to pass the night uninvited, when I wanted to go see the game at the viewing station, girl no gree me by how kwanu she go find me come, I go leave am comot, I said OK, come with me, she still no gree saying we need our private time, honestly my heart was burning that night because I didnt want to disrespect her. My anger Rose higher when she took my phone wey I take they follow the match online, that I have to give her more attention. My friends already dey call me say cartel where u dey, u no comot come watch ball tonight? Chai anger full my heart Dat night no be small, and anytime wey I hear ppl shout e go be me like make I jump go see who scored but...Chai Rita Agu wetin u do me Dat night ehh.

Man early mormor I transfered the aggression to Ghanaians bashing them left right and Centre due to their failure, the infighting that made them send some players away and Boye being caught on the camera kissing money plus Fatua Dauda beating his chest when he saved a header from Ororo only to be sodomised by same Ororo minutes later. That Victory against Bosnia really gave us mouth then, no be small.

Remembering these things make me nostalgic

I saw that comment and felt very proud as a Nigerian.

Some one even hailed the Ghanaian players for playing Manu Garba's team to penalties. That tells u they respect Manu Garba as an U17 coach. Of course who wouldn't? Ask the Mexicans how far. Lol

It was even mentioned that Nigeria lost it's key players to MRI yet they put up this kind of showing.

Lol same here, that line made me proudly Nigerian even though the govt is messing things up

Icon4s:
And truly, Ghana is an overhyped nation. You would not know until u drive out of that Kotoka International Airport in Accra.

Nigeria is doing a lot better than Ghana economically.

I think the hyping came as a means of calling back home their nationals who left their "Motherland" to neighboring countries for Greener pastures in the 1970s and 80s.

They just say good things about themselves just to feel better. Nothing dey there o.

Imagine the Citizens not having enough money to set up football academies.

Chai kwasiapaaaaaaaaa, Icon4s praprapraraaaaaa.

My brother, this arrangement is not just bad it is EVIL!

I still don't know how CAF executive members from the WAFU zone agreed to this devilish arrangement.

Imagine Nigeria, Ghana, CIV, Burkina Faso and others in one pot for only 1 to qualify. The other WAFU side has Mali, Guinea and Senagal and others (which to me is even an easier zone) producing 2.

Wait, WAFU no go meeting the day they agreed to this arrangement ni?

I was even complaining about WAFU only to find out that North Africa has only one slot. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and the Sudans battled for one slot too.

This devilish arrangement is just to favour East and South African countries because they stand the chance of not having any team from those subregions if the old format had continued. The only nation in that area that try to put up a fight at the U17 level is South Africa.

To be honest we were just lucky yesterday. The penalty shoot out could have gone either ways. We may not be this Lucky next time.
We know how not participating in the last U17 affected new talents discovery in the last 2years, imaging missing out again.

Ahmad Ahmad definitely has an agenda to develop football in his region at the expense of the rest of Africa. All WAFU member nations should petition CAF and threaten to boycott the next edition if this Evil format remains.

It is painful bro. It really is. Only Pinnick and Nyantakyi know what agreements they had with Ahmad bfor this. I like Pinnick because he has really helped our game back home, but he got it all wrong here. I know he and Nyantakyi are parties to this evil plan but I pray it ends soon as it has drawn much debate around the West, North and even central Africa. U wouldn't see TK criticising this in Soccer Africa TV show

These guys are heart broken bro, they are saying hardship is the order of the day in ghana, that the country is over hyped, that the country is so broke, otherwise they would do exactly what Nigeria is doing now by setting up Academies all over the 36 States and organising U13 /15 tourneys where the gaffers pick their players for the U17 teams.

These came in reply to a post from a Nigerian that wrote that about five of ManU players came from our U15 youth set up.

I feel for them even though we aint doing much better yet

Lol my guy is calling for fasting and prayers to liberate them from the spirit of not winning trophies

Re: Nigeria defeat Ghana on penalties to win WAFU


Why we can’t win cup, everyone was blaming Nyantakyi that he was the problem but still problem continues. We need to fast n pray to cast out this wicked spirit of failure, i am tired now

Omo dem Ghanaians have insulted everybody from their coach, to their President to their past FA chairman and mostly CAF for the qualifying format.

U no see that guy that mentioned that Nigeria that lost Miserably in their first game won the tournament. Na that kind person wey be if na those days him for see pepper today.

Lol na dis kind post dey cause war for kickoff and ghanasoccernet.com that year oo. I dont know why anything naija dey pepper the Bredas like say tomorrow no dey

comodo:
We don't read history again. We don't research. Nutin. The Portharcourt we all know now has a name before. It was Igweocha. Please research 1st before attacking me. Our history has been destroyed & twisted. Make I stop small. Edi abali is d name of the man u call Asari. I was privileged to meet my grandfather. A merchant during his days. So all these areas we got now used to have a local name tey tey. Anyway since we believed that Mungo park discovered Niger, we can believe anything. Like say pipu no dey fish there before him come. Dem no get name for d river ba??

Thank u bro. We all know this but I wonder why people are now trynna change history. Igweocha remains Igweocha even though the British gave it another name, portharcourt. Maybe some day, dey would come up with another theory to tell us Igweocha isn't an igbo word anymore but an acronym.

Abeg Make we leave poo for lawma as history can never be changed. Happy Sunday bro. Keep my own rice oo

cc: ChrisKels.

Bro they are making sense here oo. Honestly we need to review this format.. It has to be scrapped. Could it be that Pinnick, Nyantaki and other West African repps sold us out for their own selfish interests? This aint just right. Just imagine ghana, naija, ivory coast, Mali, Senegal in one group. No nah, it is quite unfair. About the match yesterday, Ghana went down fighting, I hail them. They deserved better though not in the expense of our qualification. Im just glad about the debate that this has prompted and I hope CAF puts an end to this madness soon. Why do we have dunderheads in this continent? Imagine Europe were able to think away out for the growth of the beautiful game in their region through the UNL and all CAF could initiate is something negative to its own football development. Bunch of disappoints with their yeye politics.

They are already paying for this as Bacca scores to put Villarreal 1 goal up.

Omeruo still on the bench

Please guys, besides Christian Obodo, has any other super eagle repped Fiorentina?

Next, has any Nigerian ever repped Napoli and Olympique Lyon?

Leganes just killed a bird from a spot kick. Omeruo still on the bench. Nyom is good oo

lol....i didn't even notice he misspelt the name.

Forgiveness, let Asaba people not catch you calling Osadebe an Edo man. A renowned musician of Igbo extract is who you want to dash to Edo people? Even with the coinage of Anioma, that term means "Good land" in Delta Igbo. Please, don't come and post guess work as facts o, some of us are closer than you think

My dear leave shit for lawma. Dey claimed Dennis coined the name, they also claimed there was a Yoruba minority olukami But they didnt tell us why Dennis failed to add the village in the acronym to make it ANIOMAO. It di just a coincidence that the name Anioma corresponds with the collection of the first alphabets of the names of the villages that make up the town Anioma, otherwise what does the MA represent? All these yeye theories without fact are in a bid to discredit the name Anioma, just to make it a non igbo word as the Ikwerre people have suddenly named all their towns in the metropolis from the central igbo language UMU to now RUMU. Nwa to them is now Wa. Reason u see Wike instead of Nwike(powerful child) but as wise as the they are Ezenwo in s still Ezenwo, why not also omit that N in the middle to make it EZEWO instead?

EZENWO NWIKE not Ezenwo Wike. It was and should be umuokoro(okoro's children) not RumuOkoro which of course, has no meaning

Omeruo on the bench as Leganes take on Villarreal.
Joel Obi, balling once again for Chievo against Roma

cc12:
Dennis Osadebay was not an Edo man,he was from Asaba, Delta state

My dear, there is nothing like Osadebay. Only he knows why he spelt that name like that, maybe to make it sound un igbo as he already claimed that the man is an Edo man. E no concern me sha But Dennis Osadebe(God kept me) I know, as for Osadebay, it doesnt exist anywhere in this clime.

south south is a region, it is not an ethnic group and cannot be an 'identity'.

You shouldn’t be quoting me really after I avoided you trying to get me in the mud

Mind you south south-south is a tag as well, and the people of the south-south know their roots as well. I’m proudly an Urhobo.

I said the people of "we South South" maybe u dont know what that means, those u kno, know. U are an urhobo man, that means u have an identity, those who allow Nigerian politics give them identity crisis are the "we South Souths". If u follow na u sabi. Bro if u wan hit your head for wall, I dont care. The day u ran into me, I didnt let it bother me rather I checked myself and it never made me stop reading ur posts. Like I said I remain ur fan in terms of sports commentary especially ur once jupiler league coverage but Dat will never make me spare u whenever u go wrong. Dats my nature.

Mid-west, western, northern, Eastern etc are just political tags. It don’t change the tribes of the people in them. Even Nigeria is just a tag — a colonial one.

I'm a full blooded igbo, from the central igbo land, the Eastern heartland, I know my roots and I have an identity. I'm unapologetically and proudly Igbo. No identity crisis

forgiveness:
It is an acronym derived from the four original local government areas that make up Anioma, i.e., (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika and (O) for Oshimili, M and A being common denominators found in the original four local government areas. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay, in 1951 and has remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves.

Learn please. Chief Dennis Osadebay ( Edo man) coined the name ANIOMA from the original four local government.

Their was nothing like Anioma tribe before 1951 neither has Delta state ever being part of Igbo land nor Eastern Region. It was either under the Western region and later Benin but all that is inconsequential if they decide to tilt towards any tribe or region.

But all the names from which the so called acronym was coined from are Igbo words. That means the villages that make it up are Igbo villages. Lol u just shot urself in the foot. Nothing like anioma tribe, thats good. That now supports the claim that they are Igbos as the villages brought together to form the sold called anioma are Igbo villages with igbo names abi u how u wan take explain how the villages got there igbo names(Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili)?

I didn't care reading anymore because ur contradicting urself.
