Orban's move to a top club like Lyon is worth celebrating but Lyon is really in a bad situation now in the Ligue1. I hope he helps to keep them afloat, and that things don't turn out the way it did for Onuachu when he made same January move to that struggling Southampton.


I wish Durosimi's move didn't collapse.

Don’t you dare say anything about my mindset

My point is you and i have no influence over there it’s their mindset that’ll define if the generation is a flop or not

But one thing is certain you can’t do anything about it as a fan so we both should rest

Enter the field if you think that’s your role

Teach peseiro if you think that’s your role

Our role is to spectate, cheer and jest nothing more

I don’t know where mindset comes into play in this

How does this correlate with the post I quoted?

typicalgamer:
Oga even if this generation no pass group stage for the next 3 afcon nothing go happen

2016 to 2022 Belgium 🇧🇪 golden generation didn’t achieve anything

They were rated number 1 team for almost 6 years straight without actually winning anything
Now everybody don old sky no fall

Na Nigeria when nobody aside it’s fans send na world won take end

I hope this doesn’t define your mindset as a person.

More like “since Tolu failed in life, it is no big deal if I(Emeka) also fail in life”

Oga, Belgium is Belgium. We are Nigeria!!!!!

I love how nobody is giving that troll anymore attention

Don’t you think it is disturbing how some people stoop so low to engage a character that acts like a lunatic that snuck out a psychiatric home?

What a hit that was from Ashimeru. Sweet goal.


Goal cancelled for an offside

Chai Fiorentina equalizes 😞

Maduka guarding the post as Udinese leads Fiorentina by 2 goals to 1

All you saying that our defense was decent should remember we played against the almighty Equatorial Guinea who paraded a natural right back from the Spanish third division as a striker

Took an injured Ndidi to give an opportunity to Alhassan in a team short of men in the midfield. What a joke this Peseiro is.

It will be tough against Ivory Coast but the super eagles will play better.

I really hope Alhassan’s injury isn’t a serious one.

I have never been impressed with Onyeka's display. I don't see what he adds to this eagles squad.

What time is the match?

minfelix:
una don start🤣

I have no confidence in this Peseiro led team.

This Ivorian team fit chop us like akara oo

What time is CIV match? Does anyone have an idea?


By the way, I hope all is well with TheSuperNerd. This is unlike him. Not active even on Twitter

comodo:
Aurier is d weak link. I expect Simon to have joy against him.

Wilfred Singo will be starting in that position ahead of Aurier

Curtisaxel10:
They are unable to pronounce Arabic names correctly due to their mother-tongue interference (Yoruba or Hausa).

So, they Yorubanize or Hausanize the names for easy pronunciation.

I'm Igbo. Igbo Christians also "Igbonize" difficult Christian names. For example, some pronounce "Peter" as "Pita", "Mary" as "Mmeri", "Sylvester" as "Silivesta", "David" as "De-veed", etc.

But unlike the Muslims who chose to spell their names the way they pronounce it (with the mother-tongue interference and all), Christians retain the European spellings even when they can't pronounce the names like the Europeans would.

Thanks retired great lion.

It's just common for people to localize names and give it indigenous flavor. Note that the Arabs too arabicized Jewish names - Solomon is suleiman, Abraham is Ibrahim, Moses is Musa, Joseph is Yusuf. Isaac is Isah etc. Notice how O is converted to U. So our people add U at the end of Arabic names due to the aural nature of African languages.

Many English words are derived from Arabic too. Words alkali, Algebra, alcohol, ghoul, assassin, Cotton, lemon, alcove

For instance my people localized Zainab to Jenabu cos we pronounce Z as J and we pronounce the English word school as shikulu. So language is like that. I understand Wike is Nwike.

You finished work here. Thanks bro. Yea Wike, Woke, Worie etc are actually Nwike, Nwoke and Nworie.

chrisooblog:
Yeah the way Vicmo was for us in 2013.

Yea I'm just having that feeling.

On paper, this line up should be bringing down any team.

a popular Yoruba Fuji musician

Okay. Don't know him

There is something I have been meaning to ask. Elyte and our other Muslim brothers please educate me. Why do Africans, especially West Africans spell Arabic names differently from their original Arabic spellings?

Kalidu instead of the sweet sounding Kalid.

Saidu instead of Saeed.

Umaru instead of Umar

Bashiru instead of Bashir

Aishatu instead of Aisha etc

Abeg help me with simple explanation or reason as to why we spell and pronounce these names differently? Even Mohamed in West Africa is Mohammadu. Why do we always add that "u"

saw a recent video where Osimhen was so excited to be on video call with Osupa Saheed

Who is Osupa Saheed?

yinkeys:
Hurray
I hear Iheanacho the sniper is in camp

I feel Lookman would be the star man of this AfCon for the super eagles.

jihday:
watched Oma Akatugba’s video clip shortly after the squad was announced, I think Maduka was dropped

Dropped or turned down, that is the best decision of his career so far. Looking forward to watch him again this weekend as Udinese's first choice goalkeeper.

Sadiq Umar bows out of the AfCon with a knee injury. Can he still be replaced? I think Dessers should be called up asap.

E sure me say after 3 matches Gbaseiro and his cluelessness will be going home

Marjoribanks:
You guys are funny sha!
Cos we are losing to Guinea with our reserves after playing and winning 12 nil yesterday?

If you ain't being sarcastic, then, o jẹ aṣiwere pupọ.😡😡

Because thankfully he is out of the U20 set up , is having issues with his club Villa and he has the Brazilian Douglas Luiz to displace.

There are too many good quality better midfielders in England at that moment.Foden, Bellingham, Palmer, Rice,Calvin, etc

His best bet is the SE

The boy is obviously talented and the little issues he is having now is transient. I doubt he would wanna dump England for Nigeria. We can approach him no issues but I already know what his answers would be, especially from his minders. "My client is open to rep England and Nigeria, but for now, we are focused on sorting out his club situation, then we can decide when the time is right"


Trust me, once that club situation is sorted, he gets reinstated into the England youth system, and the rest is history. We have been here before, hence the rise of any player not raised here in Naija doesn't move me anymore.

Once again, Maduka starts for Udinese in the serie A.

They are a goal down at the moment against Lazio
