just watching Obafemi Martins' goals for Inter on YouTube men! dude was an absolute terrifying prospect to face then if you were an opposition defender. rockets in his boots left or right, blistering pace and movement, deadly in front of goal, very strong on the ball despite his size.

guy was easily Nigeria's best striker especially during that 2000-2010 period. can't put my finger why dude didn't have an even bigger impact in the super eagles. truly he was a weapon of mass destruction.

Iheanacho placed on special drill ahead of Premier league return

Iheanacho placed on special drill ahead of Premier league return

Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho has reportedly been placed on a special drill by his club Leicester City in order to help him get back to fitness before the restart of the Premier league.

Iheanacho returned from the coronavirus break looking overweight a few days ago and the club has now reportedly ordered to get back to shape before the restart of the Premier league.

The former Manchester City is expected to undergo a special drill and could also train away from the rest of the squad in order to regain his sharpness.

“His routine is different. He clearly needs some extra sessions to get back to shape. The good thing is that he is putting in work to return to the best shape possible. All things being equal he should be fit and ready for the premier league restart.” The source from the club said.

Iheanacho has scored eight goals for the Foxes this season before the league was suspended as the result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, the English Premier is expected to return June 17 and all are expected to hold behind the closed doors.

Hitting purple patch and being actually good are different things sha, Kanu didn't even hit 50 goals for arsenal. 6 Afcon 3 WC no goal, 12 goals in 86 games, how else is he supposed to tell you he's not prolific?
my brother! Comparing somebody that could not score a single goal in 9 senior football tournament to someone who scored 14 goals in six tournaments and is our all-time highest goal scorer is most ridiculous!

Lol talking about dropping deep when we are not in a nightclub dancing konko below. Please we should fear God when making some comparisons.

Like you I respect and admire kanu nwankwo for his football skills and humanitarian gestures but that will not make me paints his career in the national team as something glorious when the facts on ground state otherwise.

Egbon, you too have seen a lot in terms of youth football to easily want to come to this conclusion.

You have seen the various era of our quality Nigerian Youth players(U20s & U17s):
1983-1989
1993-1999
2000s
2013-2019.
You know how most of the graduates of the various teams have ended.

I have seen very obvious talents turn out average our go into oblivion. This particular statement I made a couple of years back, earlier when we first created this thread, turned me against many peeps here.

As highly talented as Manu's 2013 U17 were how many are in the Super Eagles today. Same for Amuneke's 2015 crop.

Youth football is what it is "Youth Football". A graduate of a Youth Team needs to work extremely hard, even with the immense talent, and also pray for Favor to be able to break into limelight as a senior team player.

Chidi Nwakali's case is just one of many. Some U17 graduates don't even end up playing Professional football.
some people make it look as if failure to progress from youth football to having a successful senior career is a phenomenon unique to Nigeria. it's rare to find many players from a country that won a tournament progress to have outstanding careers eg French and Mexican team that won the 2001 and 2005 u17 respectively.
why Europeans tend to progress is because they have had an excellent football plus world class club facilities help them improve and reach. most African youngsters have no such luxury so no matter talented they might be it would take serious re-education and hard work to Polish that diamond in the Rough

Almost everyone in my family and church have lost their sense of smell and taste and recovered recently....which is a symptom of corona virus.

Are we all infected and recovering on our own?
after all there is a 98% recovery rate.
most likely. thank God for you and your family's recovery. please also try to avoid crowded places so you will not unknowingly infect anybody else just in case you might still have traces of the virus in your system. also try and do a test so you can be confirmed negative. take care all the best

Now that the mumu is out with his half-baked education.... This is how it economics works, starting with d basis (very important) grin

GDP ..... Its the value of goods and services in a country at a stipulated time, usually yearly.
To break it down to rvp2018's level.... Imagine u own a store and have a piggy bank where u keep profits (income - expenses) after d day's job.

GDP GROWTH ...... Its d indicator of how the country's economy is growing, its usually pegged against the previous quarter growth, and finally yearly.
To break it down to rvp2018's level.... Assuming u had $200 at d end of 2019 in ur piggy bank and business boomed between Jan-April to d point that u save $6 then ur GDP growth rate for first quarter 2020 is 3%

SECTORS ..... These are the drivers of d economy, the goods and services traded
To break it to rvp2018's level..... Now, ur store has different varieties of goods, u sell electrical/electronic gadgets, oil products, agricultural products... In fact, u render customer service to ur customers.

Sector's contribution to economy .... Rvp's store will surely have some particular goods that sells than the other, some may not sell much but have high profit margin, some has low profit margin but sells very much, hereby keeping people employed.... But they fluctuate at any and every time.

If at d end of the year, rvp checked his piggy bank and saw $220 (after paying staffs and clearing his bills), then his store's "GDP" growth for that year is 10%.

Here's where rvp2018 got it wrong.... He thought % of sectors can be calculated to give u overall figure of a country's GDP when in actual fact, its only for a particular year.
If a country's agricultural sector is 40% or 50%, it doesnt mean u should calculate it against d GDP, thats gross.... It only means that agriculture accounts for 40% in that particular year. Like in rvp's store, since rvp gained $20, assuming he sold agricultural products worth $8, then his agric sector is 40% (for that year).... It may fall to 35% d following year and rise to 43% the one after.
you know you ought to send him an invoice for this lesson. you have been educating him for free too long

[quote author=solonnachi post=90027209]Rohr’s new deal puts to rest the agitations of Englishman, Harry Redknapp and Argentine, Hector Cuper taking over from the French-German. The Guardian learnt that Redknapp had been lobbying his contacts in Nigerian football for the top job, just as Cuper had already sent his agent to persuade the NFF to hire his client.


Meanwhile, CAF are planning to postpone AFCON from 2021 to January 2022.[

I'm still waiting for someone to show me a Kanu AFCON or World Cup goal, then we can have this conversation.
honestly! the hype that Kanu gets is funny considering how in 9 senior football tournaments he couldn't score a single goal. striker who could only score 12 goals from 87 caps scoring against the likes of Uzbekistan Liberia Lesotho Uganda Eritrea Malawi super powers in world football

Read this.....review. Lipstick on a pig. Try to understand basic of tourism first.

We drove from Calabar to Ubudu. That ride was long but pretty interesting nontheless! Once you enter Obudu you will be enchanted by its majestic view! But the Resort/hotel is quite expensive and it really is not worth it! Food was OK but really overpriced! Exhausted and couldn't wait to rest, we ignored the hefty price and booked sort of a family room. But my dream of an early rest and a peaceful sleep was shattered the moment i lay down on my bed - it smelled of URINE! yes URINE! We called the reception/housekeeping but there was no one answering so I had to call the cell number of the person in charge of housekeeping and he informed me he was already off! He told me he will inform the hotel himself ... I waited 30 minutes and no one came... So i finally had to g out of the cottage (in a cold Ubudu evening) walked towards the restaurant to inform someone! FInally after perhaps more than an hour of waiting ... someone came to change the sheets but it was still smelly so we requested to be moved somewhere else. To make matters worst, they did not have any electricity and we had to move our things in the dark using my cellphone light! What a disappointing trip!

Beautiful location, terrible hotel
The location is beautiful but the access is difficult. The hotel is in a shameful state of disrepair. The food is expensive and very bad. Though there is a cattle ranch in the area there is no fresh milk for breakfast and the meat served in the restaurant is hard and dry. We asked for a barbecue and after waiting for ages we were served burnt pieces of goat. The service is so unbelievably bad that they could not bother to put soap and toilet paper in the restaurant toilets. But they know how to charge a hefty price!

Spare yourself the trouble and the money and travel to Cameroon or to East or South Africa.
how is it our fault that you could only afford a cheap hotel? kiberan learn to make money so you won't have to be penny-pinching. This advice goes to the rest of your countrymen too

Kelechi owes that fellow nothing, and he should be ashamed of himself that he came to type an entire thesis on Nairaland on top another man's money.

Does the guy not have family members? Does he know how many other people Kelechi is feeding in that village? So, because they were friends once upon a time, Kelechi should find his account number and send him money? Is it not the same Kelechi that moved his best friend to England and made him his PA?

The problem with people like that, is that you cannot help them once and they keep going, you must help them for the rest of your natural life. Before you know it, Kelechi will have to send money to him to feed his children and send them to school. Does he have a life-threatening illness, or does he just want money because he paid for viewing center whatever when they were growing?

Then, Nigerians will come and make people like this, think their feelings of entitlement are valid. It is not.

And one woman will marry this one tomorrow, and say she has husband. Someone that goes about looking for his wealthy childhood friends to feed him.

Even if Kelechi wanted to help him before, he has blocked that help with this idiocy. Let him go and find another childhood friend that is rich.


And I find it cute that some people think Kelechi has money to spare this dude, like say the guy no get family members.

God should help us, let us not come and cry on the internet on top another man's money
couldn't have said it any better. Even if he needs help it is not by emotional blackmail. Like you said a lot of Nigerians have this mentality which is very very sad
