Hian..... I can count 3.8m already across all Lagos marching for Obidatti. 200k short as at now, let's keep up the energy and love for a united Nigeria.

Who noticed. North East is now safer than most region in Nigeria. Even volatile states in that region like Borno, Yobe and Taraba hv been experiencing peace of late.

Bold to say, North East is now safer than North West.

[color=royalblue]You and I don't work there bro.

Yes, I agree that the project should be started since, but saying [b]"there is no valid reason" implies you have some privy info that we don't.[/b]

So, unless you want to share, it's very unfair to drag the man based on when that project started[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am not defending GEJ as a person, or his tenure.

I am just saying if we will look at that matter with facts, we cannot drag GEJ for not finishing it, when he had less than a year to stay.

As for your other point, that's a different matter, of which I agree with you on that.[/color]

You used the logic of a sick laborer going to site to work that's why I answered you with Luiz and Manè who are the proverbial laborers.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was ill during his years as US President in a period of turbulence yet he performed admirably in office.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am not making any excuse for him. I have not.

I am only stating the fact. Its there for everyone to see.

The project began 2014. He handed over in 2015. How on God's green earth will you blame him for not finishing it, when the contractor needs 3 years plus to finish it?

The usual agenda was GEJ ruled for 6 years and didn't finish 2NB, whereas, the project began 2014. These are the facts, my brother. Let's not shy away from it

And if we start holding every politician by what they said, all of us would be throwing stones at Aso rock today[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I need you to stick to your logic, so we don't go back and forth

The 2nd Niger Bridge was flagged off in March 2014

GEJ handed over in May 2015.

Are you expecting him to finish it in one year, when JB marked 42 months for the project?

I would appreciate a straightforward answer, your honour[/color]

This is not true.
The game against Algeria is the type of game that Nwakali thrives in.

No S.E midfielder intercepts passes of the ball more than Nwakali.

season still fresh

Arsenal Dey top now no means says dem go win am

My comments are not specific to you but in general to what is often said here.

Nottingham play what you call " dour" football not exactly sure what you mean. But I presume you mean unattractive football.

Well Burnley did that for almost a decade and had a good run in the EPL.

Fulham played on the deck sweet football in the EPL a few seasons ago but got relegated.

Teams will rather play ugly and win than on the deck sweet football and Lose.

Lokoja and Ganaja are constantly been ravaged by flood waters for years long, years later when the problem is resolved by a competent administrator we will start hearing how that competent person has done nothing and how Lokoja was a trading hub during pre-colonial days and destined for greatness.

charlesemeka85:
No matter how bad a player Onyeka is he is miles better and ahead of nwakali

Both has different playing style but in today’s football where coaches prefers agility, stamina work rate Onyeka will always be in top demand in top flight football than nwakali

Even if Onyeka decides to leave brentford today because of minimal playing time he will get offers easily in French,Belgian,German,Italian and Spanish top tier clubs

First of all l lay greater emphasis on the HERE AND NOW in context.

When we say Lukuku, Kane, Vardy, Aubmyang are top strikers the word consistency is at the heart of It , because for over a decade they have been consistently outstanding, that's why they get paid outrageous Sims of Money.

Football is a short term career, so you have a very limited time span to prove your quality. First season can be excused, second can be compromised and third possible forgiven but at the fourth season. You are essentially written off until proven otherwise.

At this stage other players come into the equation for consideration. On the Here and Now principle in context.

On this Forum I once talked about Chuks Aneke, Fred Onyedinma, Tega Onomah, Moses Odubanjo, Dominic Iorfa, but I havent talked about them for maybe 3 seasons or more. Because they have not done anything of substance to merit a call to the SE, for a catalogue of reasons including injury and poor performance.

Which some of you here keep making reference to irrespective of how many seasons ago that was.

However, in comparison you give every excuse for Nwakali under the sun. You give undue preference, you even change the goal posts to accommodate him. You deny reality for fantasy. You create a unit of measurement that pertains to him alone, you enthrone mediocrity over quality.

After 7 years of football ⚽ your talent can not be hidden, it should be proven.

There is an intrinsic linkage between a players quality and monetary value that you cannot make irreverent. Once again because it's Nwakali.

You anchor ⚓ your deduction not on substance irrationality.

Last season Nottingham Forest with far less quality players in the Championship were able to beat Arsenal and flog Leicester city 4-1, in the FA Cup.

Do you think any Segundo division team could have beaten Leicester city and or Arsenal, l for one for one do not think so.

But you are quick to dismiss Forest as a team that plays poor quality football. Your prejudice had blinded you.

Finally I am not absolute about any player only God can do that. Nwakali may become the next Pogba but until he does we should stop the delusional fantasy.

Please stop being academic and get real

The core motivation for players is to get the highest pay available in what is a very short term career.

Good players cost money there is no way you can get around it.

This club Ponferradina FC is essentially bankrupt, weekly wage bill for the whole club is €37k with a €400k deficit in transfer fees. Who will you sign of quality with that kind of budget.

What you will get is poor quality free agent's, loan youth players ( not the top quality ones) and players with failing or retirement careers.

Bruv you get what you pay for. Na beta money kill Soup.

Imagine a whole squad of players weekly wages €37k, dothe the mathematics and reason it. Divide it among a bare bones squad of 22 players. Some will have to have part time jobs. Which better player can you buy, it's peanuts.

You are literally moving towards semi professional wages in England.

That kind of budget is reflective of English league two lower end clubs.

Cameroon just lost to South Korea by a lone goal. They really played well though

Hi sir , will our match tonight be on tv ?

They are saying it was[b] the wife of the team’s vice president[/b]. That's why it might be over.

Ime Udoka is in some serious hot water. They are saying he might never coach in the NBA again. Plus it was a player that reported him.

Should we swoop in

A40:
All Buhari did was finish what GEJ had built to advanced stage

Just like if for some reason the 2nd Niger Bridge is stalled and Obi takes over will we say it was Obi's project? Obviously not

How long did GEJ spend in power? Buhari had been struggling with this bridge over 4 years now despite serving uninterrupted 8 years

I'm saying these are projects you do quietly without noise especially considering the amount that has already been spent on it. Which is obscene

A40:
All I'm saying is that's not a project that unnecessary noise needs to be made about. Especially considering their other numerous failures.

A bigger project is something like Abuja-Kaduna rail which Jonathan was able to do not a 1.6km bridge

Any link to the full story? or the full written story not just the headline

E.g I don't believe in Nigeria that doesnt care for everyone. Turns to I don't believe in Nigeria that doesnt care for everyone

Seen a couple of Adeleye’s games and I must say he doesn’t really inspire confidence plus seeing him drop a cross now, I’m not very convinced. If them tell me a time will come when we’ll have 3 GOALKEEPERS that will make 98 Rufai look like prime OliverKhan I go argue am

Danielnino00:
I just watched the highlight... It was obviously not as bad as I thought... The fiesy goal we conceded was from a school boy error from Okoye..very clownish... The second was from a penalty.. We also created good chances that we missed... It wasn't that bad...

Samueltemi337:
But will this match today be an official game
will it affect our FIFA Ranking?
