Imagine being the biggest demographic in your country but your government to implement quotas

you dey mind them? Rugby and cricket teams that are 95% caucasian you will have the guts to say black contributed funny people

JaceBlaze:
You mean the sports they have to fly overseas to play and when they get there they don't even claim Nigeria?

both our Men and women basketball team qualified for the Olympics our female wrestlers are some of the top rated in the world in athletics our female long jumper is in the top three female long jumpers so what are you on about?

JaceBlaze:
Siya is a quota? I think you Nigerians should stop talking about sport like Rugby & Cricket.They are way above your simple minded 5th world brains why would any coach hand the captain reigns to a quota player?

I bet I know more about than you. ntini and rabada are A Drop in the Ocean in a team dominated by white and afrikaaners like Graeme Smith Jacques kallis steyn Hall Lance klusener to name a few. If not for the backbone of your cricket board they would have given in to the attempt of the ANC government to impose a quota system on your team wasn't that why Kevin Pietersen jump ship to England? The only Sports where black dominate like football we can see how well you do. If not for Caucasian who dominates swimming and rowing the medals you win in Olympics can be counted on one hand

JaceBlaze:
The ogre that I'm arguing with ignored these facts out of convenience.

@Bolowolowo tell us any other sport you do besides soccer.

basketball male and female wrestling table tennis athletics Mixed Martial Arts

JaceBlaze:
The was never any question to answer.


Kagiso Rabada,Andile Phehlukwayo,The legendary Makhaya Ntini (retired),Themba Bavuma,etc.Did you forget them or you realised bringing them up won't fit the narrative you desperately want to push?


Springbok still won the world cup under the captaincy of a Black South African.Given the history of South Africa it should not be rocket science to figure out why the South African rugby team has been dominated by whites.


We suck at sport yet we built PSL? the richest and most successful soccer league in Africa? Udontminit


And who owns your oil? Is not British men with companies like Shell and BP? show me one refinery plant you built.


And speaking of those companies,aren't you ashamed that the employment of Nigerians depend on companies own by Afrikaaners? and if I recall correctly the CEO of MTN is a black South African which means we got your economy by the balls by default

Majority of South African land is unoccupied.Does it even make sense to you that a minority group can own most of the land in a big country like South Africa?

You can bring the receipts if it means so much to you to prove a point to me.

how many trophies on the African continent has the most " successfully League competition " won? How many players from this league have gone on to be rated the best in the continent?

That the springboks were captained by Blackman was just quota system. Even you could have captained that team and you will still have won the trophy.

edi287:
Okocha performance at France 98 and heck even 02 > Mikel at WC 18
Okocha 00, 04 AFCON > Mikel 13.
Lool Okocha was apparently an "unproductive" player yet dude scored 30 in 62 games when he was at Turkey?
Kanu won AFPOTY based on Atlanta 96 and his first season at Arsenal. Dude barely did jack afterwards and was mostly a benchwarmer... That is a fact!
Busquets is a first team regular and made numerous team of the seasons. How many did Mikel make while he was at Chelsea?
Okocha >>> Mikel. This should not be up for debate.
Mikel and Kanu never one even one MVP award at AFCON for SE. Okocha made 2 AFCON teams of the tournament. Kanu had zero. Mikel had one.
Abegi!!
Respect Jay Jay!!

my brother what's your favorite drink so I can buy you a carton. when I say kanu was overrated people will say I am hating on him. Somebody that went to a good 9 International senior tournaments and could not score a single goal playing as a striker.

Like you rightly said if we interrogate the two times he won African footballer of the year you can say it was based on sentiment. The first one was because he won an Olympic gold medal an underaged tournament. The second one because he scored a hat-trick against Chelsea.

In the national team JJ Okocha hard way more clutch moments against Cameroon in 2000 and 2004 even in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers against Angola at least he scored the goal.

If you want to say kanu nwankwo had more assist even Ahmed Musa has more assist than him with more goals to boot.


I like kanu for his little contributions and humanitarian effort but that does not mean I should not tell the truth when it comes to analysing his career

Bolowolowo:
I see that you struggled to answer the question

Amla and Imran Tahir, are they not Asian cricketers? .

Go and look at the Springbok team that won the world cup. Go and look at past world cup winning squads. Look at your Currie Cup and Super Rugby squads. What does the majority demographic look like? Who are the most well known Springbok players on Earth? Even one of the most capped players, a black known as Tendai the Beast, is a Zimbabwean

Your folks suck so bad at sports that even the ANC had to beg for racial quotas .

Your most prized possessions, your diamonds and minerals are owned by De Beers and several other Afrikaners

You mentioned you own us through your companies? Who owns Multichoice and Naspers? Are they not Afrikaaners. Aveng LTD, which financed the construction of the FNB stadium, are they not owned by Afrikaaners?

Who owns most of the land in your nation? Isn't the answer to this question the reason for the ANC land grab?

And do not underestimate the influence of Indians in your country. Their businesses line up Durban, JoBurg and many other places in your country.

Should I go on and on? I am more than glad to bring up receipts if need be

chai you are wicked oh

lovely video to brighten your quarantine day (it's basketball though) https://twitter.com/DtigressNG/status/1244907179850764290?s=19

daveP:
Safari, This has nothing to do with asslicking.. Its what gives most female roles larger bank checks these days. We need to catch up from this usuals if ee wantu gross movies. Many foolish movies take home close to billion dollars like some of those SA films you mentioned. If we want Nollywood to become lucrative, then it needs to adapt to the trend asap.


Martial arts is one big criteria for any action movie involving female characters. You know that already.


Are you still content with all these love movies upandan that we sit and know the end? Are we limited to the box forever?


I dunno how you see it but we need to catch up or get relegated. Thats the fact. Forget white man standards. If its not History we are acting(which is a hevk of a problem for facts) then they gats step up.


Imagine Ratnik and Camp zero is gonna be our first when many others had such 2decades ago in Africa.... We simply lagging behind.

true that look at Bollywood now not just romance movies with dance numbers they also do over the top special effects movies. anyone seen that Indian terminator film? hilarious stuff

safarigirl:
Guys, there's an argument going on on Twitter about Nigerian legends

The players in contention are JJOkocha, Kanu Nwankwo and Mikel Obi. Some are arguing that Mikel doesn't belong on the list, claiming JJ carried the team's he plays for and deserves better than to be named alongside Mikel.

Y'all know how I feel about Mikel, so, for the sake of neutrality, do you guys agree with this notion?

Cc tbaba1234, icon4s, thesupernerd, joebie, andrew44, komekn, darkelf, bascovanveli

if we are to judge each person based on their body of work in club football and the national team then Mikel will be head and shoulders ahead of the other two. Number of trophies won also count for him.

Jay Jay Okocha yes was tremendously Gifted but didn't win a lot of trophies along the way.

Kanu nwankwo for me was overrated. Especially considering his contributions in the green white green. Is just the Olympic gold that he has been living off in the Minds of Nigerians.

Subzero047:
Okocha is Nigeria's best player, who's doesn't know that

best? That will be stretching it a bit no doubt the most talented but unfortunately he didn't maximize his football gift. Only operated 40 to 50% of his ability most times

Carmit:
Lol
So it's 5?
Man I didn't even know that.

yep uyo Airport

vaxx1:
world leader applauding Ghana president for his convid 19 speech ....

very good president you guys have had it lucky with the leaders you are produced these past 20 years. The worst of them has been above-average the rest good to excellent.

Unfortunately Nigeria has been consistently producing below average to downright mediocre

Carmit:
Where in the world did he say '30 international airports' ??
Where
Can you go back to read the text your country man quoted?
Please!

for some reason they are fond of claiming we said this We said that when you now ask them for evidence they will start stuttering. That's how 1 South African accused Nigerians of saying we conquered their army the sadf. I asked him to provide evidence since then crickets

BascoVanVeli:
U people love saying people have died from this or that but does that make death normal? The guy is a Muslim so what credibility would he have to speak on cult wars?

U are acting like he wants to be president of Nigeria. What can he gain from us? I want to see more Muslim and Christian leaders speak up against bad practices of their members.

This is how the Catholic church abroad were bad mouthing whistle blowers when little boys were being rapped by priests. They would say "oh, he is just disgruntled" or "he is not our member" but lass lass we all know the truth

but that's the thing he is no whistleblower. He is just regurgitating information that we have already. Plus you have still not said how his " special intervention" is supposed to change anything.

Instead of you and others like you to invest your energy to build alternative political movement to the powers-that-be you're wasting your time on buhari who will be gone latest by 2023. When somebody else you don't like now enters the position you will complain

LaMujer:
You say?

you self dey laugh

BascoVanVeli:
He can do more to prevent further massacres. What's wrong with that? Do u like hearing 50 people were killed at a time? Or are u immune to that type of news?

Was it me that sent the presidency into going tit for tat on some Meek Milly Twitter finger nonsense? Why should the presidency answer strangers online? Is that professionals? If u wan blame anyone, blame those people at aso rock not the Imam.

This is not about economy. And this is not about the past. Stop this childish talk of "it happened then so why shouldn't it happen now?"

extremists terrorists have been massacring people both muslims and christians govt should do better to protect them I agree 100% but we should tone down on the hypocrisy. people have died/are die from cult/ethnic clashes in cross river, rivers, benue, taraba etc yet no CAN outrage or opposition displeasure because "fulani" is not involved.
The presidency has it's own issues but if somebody has come for their principal they will be obligated to defend him. That said I have not seen any press release from their office responding to the man.
No because bad things happened in the past doesn't mean they should continue but if the same people complaining now decided to onlook when this same issues happened under their MCMs I have a problem with such hypocrisy. someone like Reno omokri campaigning for Leah sharibu's release but conveniently forgetting his role in the Chibok girls issues
One thing I've learnt about Nigeria and how to keep myself from being swayed by populist declarations I always look at the intentions of such a person.

BascoVanVeli:
U are acting like people are zombies. We all know right from wrong. Even in church I have heard some pastors say something and I'm like I don't know about that one

The truth is that the imam is coming with facts. These excuses u guys are making are worse for the country because a massive number of people agree and u are sidelining them like u know so much. Why don't u sit down and have a real conversation about these issues?

again because somebody voices out your biases or sentiments doesn't mean it's factual. Ok what's the end game with what this guy is doing? Is buhari going to contest the next election? No. Is he going to be impeached? No. Is he going to resign? Highly unlikely Yet a lot of us are wasting energy on hashtags and clout chasing on what cannot realistically be changed.

For the record I'm not a fan of pmb but I honestly cannot see the Joy anyone is deriving from somebody abusing your president when we have a global pandemic to deal with.

And please stop talking as if one has one has amnesia this is the same Nigeria that's was under OBJ good luck and yar adua and we all know the level of poverty and infrastructure we had during their presidency

BascoVanVeli:
I guess he is ahead of his time because how else can u preach against global terrorism?

the imamofpeace fellow has a hidden agenda. He might be popular now because he echoes a lot of Nigerians opinions on the president but make no mistake about it it's not for the love of Us he's doing all this. Do a little research on his background and history and you will understand what I mean.

Think about it why would some supposed Islamic Scholar in Far Away Australia suddenly take an interest in your country and president? The president can be criticized on anything it's your right but we should be careful not to harm our country in the name of abusing the president.

Pmb will be gone one day but Nigeria at least for the foreseeable future will still remain let that fact guide us and give us some perspective when addressing national issues

JaceBlaze:
The fact that no ANC member has ever held your dragon scroll sized banknotes is evident enough.

hot air as per usual with you guys. For someone that was asking me to go to bed what are you still doing up losing sleep on a Nigerian online forum? Anyway that's your business all the best with the quarantine stay safe so we can banter some more. Peace I'm out

JaceBlaze:
Your government deposited money into a yahoo account and brain-dead citizens believed it was for ANC

where's your evidence? Clown

JaceBlaze:
How I wish I could teleport to Nigeria and drain the diesel that keeps your rusty generator running.Go to sleep!

is that all you could come up with ? All because I asked you to provide evidence instead of talking BS

JaceBlaze:
No! not quite yet.I want you to apologise to me for making so much noise for a country that has done so little,and you will do this while standing on the pinnacle of Zuma Rock,screaming at the top of your lung how sorry you are.

I must scroll through millions of NL pages looking for that? come on guy!

Apologize? You go wait tire

Translation I have no evidence but I'll just talk eish anyway

JaceBlaze:
Nigerians have said plenty of times on this forum.

And which account was it deposited into? .I mean the ANC has mentioned everyone who helped but this Houdini money remains a mystery that perplexes modern philosophy.

I can't mention everyone sir! do you know how long that list will be?


Oh the man himself thanked you? so why are you hissing like a faulty kettle over a silly post by an ingrate like me?


People like you make my time on NL even more enjoyable with your emotions

yes you're right my emotions are all over the place because I want validation from an anonymous South African to make my day boohoo are you happy now.

Nigerian said this Nigerians said that shouldn't be too hard for you to provide evidence for your claims that we said we defeated the sadf

JaceBlaze:
Triggered?


Mandela visited every country,even the United States in 1990 so what's your point?


My original post was about Nigerians lying about their military defeating SADF when they didn't even send their army here,but of course,you had to try and do something a guy like you is not qualified to do,and that's playing psychological games with me with your goal post-shifting tactic.Did South Africans come begging for food & clothes from you?..NO


The bolded countries are given their due props in South Africa btw so what are you quarrelling about? .At the end of the day Castro supported South Africans during the struggle.His personal vendetta against the USA? ...well who gives a damn.


Thank you for calling me an ingrate I wear my colours with pride.

please mention the post where we said Nigeria defeated the sadf.

Lol you didn't beg but you collected the money anyway you are very funny.

Only Castro? Why didn't you mention Yasser Arafat as well? And the only reason he supported you was to get back at the US the Enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Mandela visited to say thank you and there's nothing revisionist like you can do about it

JaceBlaze:
Never said you didn't contribute.NL is full of people with lack of comprehension and I'm used to it.anyway.....


You are arguing with yourself because I never said Africans never supported.You are deluded if you think Nigeria collapsed the Apartheid..like really.The country that supported South Africa militarily was Cuba and that to me far greater than what you did.Pen and pad win no war.

lol why are you so angry and triggered? Like I said if you want to downplay other people's contributions that is your business reasonable people appreciate and know what we did. If what we did is so insignificant Mandela won't have disturbed himself coming here when he was released.

This is exactly my point you jumped Zimbabwe Namibia Angola Botswana Mozambique who offered military support went all the way to praise Cuba who helped you guys just to undermine the United States of America who was supporting the apartheid government you are such an ingrate

JaceBlaze:
LOL surely history will exonerate us from whatever doubt we have about your contribution.Okay nobody ever said Nigeria wasn't among the countries that offered support.The only gripe with have with you is the overexaggeration and you trying to hog all the spotlight.


At the moment there are students from across Africa in top South African universities.Should we take credit when they finally graduate and help their countries to rise above economic instabilities since we offered them education?...if not then why do you think YOU should take credit for few South Africans who schooled in Nigeria? Let's apply logic to it and see if it makes sense..deal?

you have admitted that we contributed good we are making progress

Now it's just not about educating your exile s like I said diplomatically we know the stuff we had to pull off at international forums like Commonwealth United Nations e t c to put the apartheid issue at the front burner when even the powers that be like us and UK regarded the ANC as terrorist. African countries boycotted Olympics just to highlight the apartheid scourge so my brother it wasn't just some tea party for us.

vaxx1:
This is when Nigeria billionaire needs to render helping hands. if Ghana must follow this orders, her rich citizena must also help the goverment or else, it will soon turn to disaster. I foreseen hunger and poverty on the rise .

sadly not all of our elite are clued in at the moment some of them still don't get that we need a United front to battle this scourge

JaceBlaze:
Them and Nigerians have a bizarre sense of humour

Grab a bowl of popcorns and enjoy....


Did you know that during Apartheid Nigeria sent it's military to South Africa to fight against the nuclear armed SADF? I know it's hard to reconcile how a military that can't contains bare-foot bandits like Boko Haram and Fulanis herdsmen single-handedly defeated the most powerful army at the time to free black South Africans.Hard to fathom,but believe it - they lifted the attention from Biafra civil war that was happening in their backyard at that time and dedicated their time to fighting an army with the oldest airforce in the world .Sounds like a fable out of Dr Seuss's remarkable catalogue I know...


The end? no no no! Just when we thought Nigeria could not extend her act of benevolence further than she already had...the Nigerian government thought that sending their soldiers with hi-tech military equipment wasn't enough to get helpless black South Africans out of the tight grip of Apartheid.The Nigerian government being the altruistic government that it was decided to deposit $60 billion into some mysterious ANC bank account to help South Africans with food,education and travel documents,even though this money could not be traced,South Africans benefitted greatly from it.

there are many ways to fight a system not just militarily. We know how we contributed financially politically and diplomatically. You're free to say we didn't help out in any way that's your opinion but history will be kind to us and other African countries who did their part

vaxx1:
Yes human survival first ..... my concern are just with who don't have enough for themselves . I mean basic needs. some people highly depend on daily wages . I wonder how they will survived? I doubt goverment can sustain it for long without getting broke financially.

here in Nigeria we also have a similar conundrum how do you enforce a lock down on people who need to make a leaving to survive daily? Unfortunately with the rising numbers it seems that decision will have to be made good or bad very soon. In Nigeria I give it this weekend latest the beginning of next week
