Where did I bring up India when addressing your lord and master or you just typed without engaging your brain as per usual?

gallivant:
You fools brought up Indians, not us. Why are you crying now?

Temper, Temper did I hit a nerve?

Again use this your powers to debate intellectually how to get rid of your slums instead of constituting a nuisance on a Nigerian platform.

rvp2018:
Normally you write shamefully nonsense in your miserable life as an online troll. I am ready always to have intellectual debate. Improve and we can debate soberly

Notice how they dare not say anything negative about India, who after Nigeria have the largest group of poor people in the world. Geez I wonder why?

GeneralDae:
Now you are worshipping your Indian lord . No wonder you guys are called little indians . Even that black American lady on Youtube confirmed it and the kenyans were mad at her in the comment section .

You won't normally dignify because you have no retort to what I said.

Everything I stated is facts while everything you state are half-truths and fantasies powered by jealousy and lack of self confidence.

rvp2018:
I would not normally dignify such nonsense with a response but hey Nigeria is WORLD POVERTY CAPITAL having overtaken India...now with 100M poor people. That is like entire East Africa.

As you lift more billionaires you create businesses, which in turn hire more people.

100m is bad yes but that leaves at least half that are doing well more than the total population of Kenya.

Focus on solving Kenya's massive slum problem and poverty in the north of your country.

rvp2018:
As you lift one billionaire every year; how many Nigerian are escaping out poverty. Forget that. How many are sinking deeper into poverty. Millions. Officially there are at least 100 million extremely poor Nigerians.

Yours is a classic case of looking to remove a speck in someone's eye while you have a log in yours.

Your country is unproductive, your trade imbalance speaks for itself.

You barely have enough money that's why you borrow so much that it's almost 70% of your GDP.

You can't feed yourselves that's why you rely on food aid yearly, while stupidly beating your chest that you use your little available land for flowers.

Boast about skyscrapers while you have some of the largest slums in the world.

Nigeria is the poverty capital yet we feed ourselves.

Poverty capital but biggest GDP on the continent.

Biggest tech sector on the continent.

This poverty capital invests in your housing sector, bought your banks and IT hub. Sponsors your football league, builds your roads and you're not ashamed?

Instead of wasting your productive years being a troll on a Nigerian owned platform your ''intellect'' to engage in more useful ventures like solving your country's numerous problems instead of acting like a sex starved Viewer poking his nose into his neighbors business.

rvp2018:
You're the fool buying cement at three times and any other commodity - inflation is ever triple digit almost - while in Kenya inflation has been single digit - while praising a few billionaire.

The most important list - 200M Nigerians are POOR - Nigeria has the most poorest people in planet earth

Alhaji Rabiu is really giving Dangote a run for his money literally and figuratively. He recently signed a deal with the French govt to build a refinery in Akwa Ibom I think.

What you said about the politics being behind most of the bad press Dangote gets is true. Funny enough most of his detractors had no issues with him when OBJ and GEJ where in charge. I not an expert about the goings on in the cement industry but someone who helped stop your country being an import dependent one when it comes to cement deserves commendation. At least companies like Lafarge have been on ground before Dangote ventured into cement business why didn't they think of expanding instead of largely relying on imports?

Don't be surprised when his refinery is up and running and he's enjoying the profits of his investment they will accuse him of monopoly even though a lot of them were given licenses to refine crude years ago.

Buhari has many faults but one good I've seen is if you're a large scale Nigerian business trying to expand they give you the necessary backing whether through monetary policy, government policy like border closure and encouraging local substitute for imported raw materials.

GeneralDae:
Dangote has serious competition in cement. BUA is also a big cement dealer in Nigeria and is now the second richest man in Nigeria. Dangote have always had competition in cement. The problem with you is that you only take news from uninformed or biased/political folks on social media when it comes to Nigeria rather than doing appropriate research.

I'm just curious.

In one instance you said Nwakali wasn't training with the Arsenal first team, today to buttress your point you now agree he indeed trained with the likes of Ozil, Ramsey and co at the time. Good

komekn:
What's your point ❓

The response is qualified by the context not in isolation. When something is taken out of context it becomes a CON.

Was Nwakali training at Arsenal as part of the First team

Remember this

komekn:
It seems you are misinformed, Nwakali not only trained with the youth team but also the first team.

This is something that happens regularly in Arsenal youth players train with the first team to see if they can CUT IT. I have even seen a trialist from non league gone straight into the first team training session.

He failed to cut it in the youth team and did not make much of an impression at youth level too.

komekn:
You are clearly misrepresenting the facts.

Kelechi does not train with Ozil, Sanchez and Ramsey.

He is playing in the Eerste Divisie 2nd tier of Dutch football. It is low and what's more concerning is he is not the stand out player in that low league.

He is currently just an Arsenal player on paper, a mere speculative business transaction that may possibly. yield some dividend.

Unfortunately there is a continous trend for reasons unknown to give former Nigerian youth players irrespective of current progression opportunities in the SE to the detriment of far better performing players.

He was being sarcastic, he didn't actually mean Nwakali was in the original list.

He was trying to counter the point that Eguavoen couldn't add a player outside the list using the example of KC who was used to replace Onuachu.

komekn:
Do you really think that Rohr makes the whole no list by himself, without the influence and manipulation of a myriad of officials in and out of the NFF..

Please wake up we are Nigerians we know our DNA.

Happy Birthday chief more blessed years ahead

Odunayaw:
I'm +1 today. Any birthday mate here?

Great to have you back Doc it's been a minute!

I won't lie I'm not a member of the Kelechi Nwakali appreciation society, he's in the squad so he has my full backing to do well. Hope he proves doubters like me wrong.

Below is a neutral view coming from one of the finest Sports Photographers/Photojournos in the country - Modo Victor... someone who witnessed the training sessions live before they left for Cameroun


Recall that before my sabbatical, I have always harped on Awaziem having the best passing range among all our Defenders. I showed clips of how he did it at Boavista and how he repeated it in GWG colors vs CAR for Balogun's Goal.

This is just an example of making careful observations overtime before reaching analytical conclusions on players.

CSTRR:
My diaspora is great??
Lol
You are clown.

Of course my disapora is great just like the disapora of China or India.

We are great countries with great disaporas.
It's not a weakness, it's a strength.

Unlike Kenya where Indians, Lebanese and other foreigners run the show using Kenyans as slaves.

By the time they get bored and pull their capital, everything will fade away.

Besides, many of the innovative tech start ups in Nigeria were created by Nigerians that live in Nigeria all their lives.

80% of their tech scene is dominated by white and Indian born 'Kenyans' so once the brains of their tech hub is removed they will be insignificant

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Disaster news Lagos ibadan railway

Disaster news as sruck Lagos ibadan railway railway lines have just been stolen. In fact the railway lines have been stolen for the past two weeks when they started stealing them. I knew something was up because the trains were not running and people were complaining watch the video below the AC and air conditioner on the train breaks down in less than two weeks on the new trains. It is good I was in Nigeria so these people lie to me..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ty1HjAIzeQ



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRA6ulTdHvQ

Now you have added illiteracy to lying. Did you even bother watching the video you posted? The rail line leading to our port in Apapa is being fixed because they discovered a fault it wasn't stolen. While the AC not working video is from early last year (note they didn't say the train isn't working)

Lol with their usual ''aveeerraaage'' mantra

Mujtahida:
Before afobear, there was congoshiner. Both of them, very interesting personalities.

Lol I do.

andrewbaba44:
Chris you remember the last afcon where the South Africans pocketed salah ?

Yep pushing BS should be their biggest export

Just30:
I will say, they've been pumped with full propaganda, they are full in the belly of it and now spreading it international..

Ok. Try and use at least half of your energy you use hurling insults to go and farm to produce something to feed your people. Hopefully you won't rely on food aid this year.

gallivant:
It's nothing personal but we have relegated food discussions to the bin. Try another topic or better yet go line up in Abuja for a South African passport like everyone else. Dimwit!

I think we should go all out and attack the Egyptians. Watch how Angola and Gabon faced them in the WC qualifiers. If you show them too much respect using the Salah factor that is even when they can hurt you the most.

Senegal had the best team in 2017 they choked, 2019 they lost, way back in 2002 they lost. The favorites tag might be heavy on them.

As for Algeria yes they are very capable of doing a repeat but 2019 was abit surprising most people didn't outrightly pick them to lift the trophy.

komekn:
Every football game has an element of luck and fortitude. The team that prepares properly creates team cohesion and through working as a team can beat better teams with sheer hard work and determination.

Nonetheless, cream always rises to the top.

Last AFCON Algeria and Senegal were the best teams and Senegal was unlucky.

If anything we were lucky to get as far as we did.

On paper we are underdogs, there are at least 5 teams better than us on paper. Teams that win usually have a world class top player, that gives them an edge.

Madagascar Actually it was Benin Republic that defeated Morocco on pens

safarigirl:
Dem dey make assumptions based on Big name players. Some people said Morocco was sure for the semis last AFCON, na "I like to move it, move it" people still bundle those ones comot.


AFCON is literally anybody's game. Your team may be filled with brilliant players, but the lines may not fall in place the day you need them to.

See CIV with Haller, Zaha, Aurier, Pepe and co, you would think semi finals sure for them, only for you to hear that Zimbabwe or Guinea kicked them out.

Sometimes judging your team's chances based on who is available or not is not the way to go.

In 2013 Osaze was out and out our best striker using EPL pedigree but we didn't take him. Same with Martins who I think was playing in La Liga then.

At the end of the day what happened? Emenike from a ''farmers'' league carried our goal scoring burden even though before the AFCON he was largely unrated.

So it's rather premature to say without Osimhen, Dennis and Ighalo we don't have hope.

komekn:
I think you are caught up with a nostalgic quest for entertainment football characterised by dribbling, show boating and skill but with limited end product.

Football has left that era behind even at AFCON and the days of gung ho, trying to dribble the whole team has Died.

When a player's is skilful, technically astute, fast, physically resilient and strong all crowned with END PRODUCT even in an obscure league. He will not be unnoticed.

Our best in form Striker is Dennis and he is not at the party, so also is Osimhen. If Ighalo plays we have hope.

Ejuke is not the outstanding player in his league but he will go to the AFCON and set it on fire. I don't agree with your optimism.

Could it be Covid? Pinnick mentioned in a recent interview that one of the invited players tested positive.

nelszx:
But wait o, the German 2 has been on break since before Christmas, camp opened on the 29th. Paderborn has resumed training on the 3rd, Jamilu Collins is not on the eagles neither is he training with the club side. Mehn that guy needs to be dropped abeg even the coach couldn't say why it is he is not in camp yet.

Egypt sabi fall hand once in a while, but Cameroon to mess up in front of home fans? mbanu!

andrewbaba44:
That’s how we all fancy Egypt home advantage to reach the finals at the last afcon till South Africa shocked them at their home soil

Cameroon like Nigeria are tournament teams. They were far from being the best in 2017, even suffered massive player withdrawals yet they went and won the whole thing. Playing at home will just give them extra ginger.

andrewbaba44:
Cameroon no go smell final

There was no time I have ever rated the Cameroon team since after the Samuel eto mbami ndiefi Pierre Webb days

If they make it to the finals ,good for them ,as for me I don’t rate that team at all

Would have agreed with you ordinarily but I think they lack character. Losing out to Cameroon for the WC qualifiers really diminished them in my eye.

Joebie:
My bet is on Ivory Coast. But I will confirm this after the group stage.

Yeah I agree. Fancy Morocco or Cameroon (home advantage) to reach the finals.

As for Nigeria I've watched too many AFCON tournaments to say with authority that the SE don't have a hope in hell. Preparations might be rubbish but when it comes to competition proper we know how to build momentum. A medal of any color will be a decent achievement.

safarigirl:
One or both of Algeria and Senegal will not reach that finals. This I can tell you, free of charge.

AFCON no be by who get best team in paper. Even Euros no dey follow that pattern, how much more AFCON

gallivant:
In Kenya we call this a Nigerian looking for South African visa, pity, sympathy or something along those lines.

Gallivant haven't you grown up yet? Still engaging in pissing contests instead of doing something about stopping food aid coming into Kenya every year

jl115:
In South Africa he would be a coloured but that's irrelevant

Just because he's black doesn't make him Kenyan he has Kenyan heritage, and that's pretty much it. He ain't Kenyan though!

In Nigeria we call it attach by force aka glory hog

Lol reminds me how they marketed Lagerback that year, claiming he knows our players in and out, because he came with power
point presentation
