Communications people are not so intellectually challenged to not be able to control and run things, but on a serious note it's scary how African people in general deify very inept leadership. The same Traore that would go around visiting African leaders with a pistol by his side forming hard guy e reach Putin the wehrey obey protocol drop gun.

Honestly, they could have engaged in arm wrestling if they really needed to engage in proof of strength.

afrodoc:
Watch the video again. For that second slam Bassey’s left knee was close to giving way in the wrong direction.

Wrestling requires technique without which it is easy to get injured.
Those are 2 silly boys.

LMAO it's like you read my mind!

Ordinarily Osimhen is captain material but his short fuse coupled with poor emotional control land him in all sorts of wahala.

Should stay as a respected senior member of the team IMHO.

Goke7:
I doubt except osihmen work more on his temper before he go slap journalist one day. Abeg leave him as our top striker for now jeje

Shebi I tell you the guy go soon come good give am time.

Daga is doing pretty well in Norway

I read somewhere you have to update your iphone device software to IOS 13 to be able to use and download their banking app.

Olaolar:

Pls union bank app users send me screenshot of how the one you're currently using look likes ...

Or they've UPDATED the app ni.. ??

Zidane was more of fluidity of movement almost like a ballerina but Bergkamp's touches would absolutely leave you stranded.

Mujtahida:
Between him and Zidane I really can't tell who's got a better first touch. That goal against Argentina was all about his incredible first touch. I often say that if I'm a coach teaching young boys, dem go practice their first touch tire to the point they will hate me.

Watch old clips of Brazil at the WC from 1958-1970 especially 1970 chai joy go nearly choke you from watching 'sexy penetrating passes' Even the misses were beauties to watch. I weep for Brazilian fans having to cope watching modern day scam artists.

Mujtahida:
That match against Italy - with Zico and Dr Socrates in full, free flow and the defeat is tagged the day football died.

I like beautiful football but I've never been a fan of Brazil. I like their players individually though.

Bergkamp the football brain on that man. Blessed with one of the best touches of all time.

Mujtahida:
Bergkamp's goal against Argentina. My goodness

Yeah Salah looks hot favorite right now. Osimhen if/when he hopefully signs for a big team and starts the new season like a house on fire he could feature in the top 3. Hopefully Victor can get a Balon D'or nomination too.

BankyGee:
2nd. I think Salah will win it with all he's done this season.

Amaechi makes a fair logical point. Too bad all this outspokenness went missing when the previous NASS approved Buhari's ways and means loan.

I thought you were going to speak to the transport infrastructure of your zone not just free movement.

Trading will still be difficult despite an accessible passport if SA companies can get raw materials from Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe due to poor roads or rail infrastructure in the said countries.

Happy Easter everyone!

AfriqueDuZuid:
free movement here one just need passport, good are free


No cases of extortion, i think the only real difference is that the southern people don't really speak a lot about how efficient, smooth and advancing we are

The more important question for me would be how good is the free movement in your trade zone in terms of logistics, infrastructure and cost of movement of goods e.g. good road network between countries, railway, air travel etc.

For ECOWAS people are able to move freely without much hassle at least for Nigeria but the logistics of moving goods isn't so great with quality of connecting roads in various countries ranging from great to absolutely terrible.

Plus the customs and law enforcement in different countries vary in their extortion levels.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Then you surely dont know SACU

It sounds morbid but it also helps to prevent entire annihilation of family lines.

Imagine if the Wigwes or the Siemens CEO who died in the helicopter crash had adopted that strategy maybe some of them will still be alive today.

raumdeuter:
The first time I heard of this, I was surprised because one girl whenever coming to school will never travel with her brother and I wondered why you take that decision, After I thought about it, it weirdly makes sense from a risk management and Disaster recovery POV

But if the family has one car and you have to say go from Lagos to Ilorin or driving from Maryland to Atlanta, will that mean some will drive and the others will split into 4 different commercial vehicles?

Heard another ex-SE player Charles Bassey (ring any bells egbon Kog45?) passed away. Was part of the 1980 victorious AFCON squad RIP to him.

RIP to Super Eagles first AFCON winning captain and Legend Chairman Christian Chukwu.

We told you what to do maybe your legal representation no brief you well

elyte89:
Sheyb Una sabotage me ..no worry 🥹🥹

Exactly Leon for at least tackle the guy or use style hol' am.

elyte89:
He can replace tired defenders from 75 minutes upward (he can’t be in dt Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 game without making an attempt to stop dt guy from scoring)

I don't think anyone is looking at Balogun as a long-term fix but if he can help shore up the back line at least for the remaining WC qualifiers why not?

He's still playing at an appreciable level with Rangers plus he's still a key member of the team whose experience will help.

I remember for the 2014 WC qualifiers Keshi recalled Nsofor to give our attack extra bite. Even though he didn't make the final squad that went to the WC in Brazil his contribution to us getting there was invaluable.

Subzerooo:
See I'm Balogun's number one fan in this thread but if we are going back to Balogun in 2025 it means that there is something seriously wrong with the SE

Hopefully Inter and Barca will wear each other out in the Semis.

Starboytwo:
can Arsenal beat that Inter Milan? I don't know...

Those inter guys dey mark bastard marking.

Still wondering how Ghana imploded not qualifying for the AFCON with him in the middle. Best African CDM at the moment.

Starboytwo:
God 😲😲, I was just famzing Partey yesterday... He was so good. Azin so so good. Didn't lose any ball, really really really masterclass performance...

The guy who sat beside me will wonder if I've never seen Partey before. He was my MOTM..

Damn... Claps.

This highlighted trio in theory should be a perfect blend of steel, ball retention, and grit.

For Iwobi I've seen him do well for Fulham on the wings worth trying out especially in place of Chukwueze.

If everybody is fit in September later this year by God's grace midfield should be Iwobi, Fisayo, Onyedika, Chrisantus, Onyeka, Ndidi/Yusuf.

Balogun could still have an impact when fit definitely a no-nonsense defender.

If only Ebuehi could maintain form and fitness would definitely be my ideal back-up for Aina.

charlesemeka85:
good line up and formation but na Balogun inclusion spoil am

Bro Balogun is 37 and not even a regular for Rangers. We have CBs who are younger and can fit in perfectly in that role even if u don’t want Ekong anymore just because of the mistake he made against Zimbabwe

I would prefer to retain Bassey as LCB and maybe try out Ogbu at RCB with Aina as RB and Onyemaechi at LB

This method of writing a player off just because of a mistake he made in a particular game isn’t encouraging at all

Chukwueze hv been poor of late and I will prefer having iwobi in his position as an inverted LW who can easily come into the middle to create chances for the team then hv onyeka replace him in midfield

A midfield trio of onyeka and Uche as CDM and B2B then onyedika as DLP/DM is worth experimenting

Ndidi and Fisayo can serve as cover on the bench

Jumping on other people's hard work and effort.

Ok show wetin he contribute to earn that winner's medal.

Osimhen show working with Napoli for Serie A.

Lookman show working with Atalanta for Europa.

Show Kanu personal contribution not all this attach to glory medals you keep mentioning.

andrewbaba44:
I should bring something more tangible like the ucl or league title won with Ajax 😁

Of course you don't exceptional player contribution na forming activity players wey go dey claim other people hardwork like Bosingwa, Carragher and co you dey follow.

andrewbaba44:
Which final okocha see score for Bolton

Kanu went to porthsmouth and made them win a trophy after so many years ,that’s what they call inpact ,no be to carry team escape relegation

We don’t do that here

11th for winning under age tournament? Please bring something more tangible.

andrewbaba44:
Hope you know there was a time kanu finished 11th at the ballon d or ? That’s bigger than every okocha achievements

Scored against Championship Cardiff what an achievement after better players did the main work against Man U where Kanu (no surprises) was MIA.

Led the line when Arsenal will be finishing second double digits points behind Man U before Wenger borrow sense give am seat belt for bench.

Okocha went to Bolton turned relegation candidates to top 10 performers.

Kanu went to West Brom left them relegated

Went to Pompey left them relegated

APOTY for winning underage tournament and scoring hatrick against Chelsea abeg abeg.

andrewbaba44:
Kanu scored at the fa cup finals with his goals helping Pompey to win the fa cup ,Pompey is a small club just as Bolton but kanu helped them to win the fa cup ,why can’t your okocha do that for Bolton

Didn’t your okocha took part at the Carling cup finals and lost

Kanu didn’t hide under any umbrella of performance to win any trophy for Pompey

Why are you running to the super eagles ,my arguement was never about their eagles performance ,but if you go low we go lower .

Where is your okocha apoty award ? Kanu won it twice

Where is your okocha motm in any cup finals

Show Kanu own na?

andrewbaba44:
Na shortlist we wan chop ? Lmao

I go too cook okocha Walai

EPL player of the month is nothing but Kanu no fit win even one.

Anyone can hide under the umbrella of performers to win trophy ask Bosingwa that year with Chelsea, or Phil Neville with Man U, or Carragher with Liverpool.

Jay Jay won a trophy with PSG and with SE. Show us wetin Kanu win with SE even if na WAFU cup

EPL legend wey no smell EPL Player of the Season nomination for his entire time in England abeg abeg!

andrewbaba44:
What is epl player of the month ? Something wey odemwingie Dey win like water

Show me okocha holding a major trophy with Bolton wanderers ,if you do I will de activate

Show me anytime Kanu won epl player of the month or was nominated for player of the season.

Thank God say I decide view this thread today na so your lamba stand sha

andrewbaba44:
What does okocha dribbles left behind too ? Abeg answer

You people are so funny

CAPtain Andrew long time.

Sorry your Anti-Okocha agenda no go jump let alone fly

andrewbaba44:
Firstly Premier league legacy was the point of this argument .

Kanu and mikel played for big clubs on their prime ,okocha was only the main man at Bolton and fenerbache that’s all ,put him on that arsenal team that has Henry Bergkamp and co he won’t even be the 5th main man ,let me not even go to the Chelsea team mikel played for

If they arrange the best African Epl XI he will never be found on the starting 11 ,so please spare me all these crap .

Mikel is now a fringe player because you want to defend okocha 😁

There's no way there will be a conversation about Nigeria's greatest midfielders and you won't mention Mikel but as a 10 hmmm open to debate.

Napoleon55:
OK,no problem, but u should include Mikel if Etim is to be included,because he was a marvel to watch in that midfield position before Mourinho converted him to a holding midfielder.

Even though it was a youth tournament, but the way he dominated midfield in the final match against Argentina, not many Nigerian players could do it that way.

My brother if no be say I like Papilo and respect wetin him dey do for the Heart Foundation parole I for enter analyze him matter wella.

minfelix:
best player wey no win afcon trophy or even score 1 Afcon goal…Abeg oo

The Aluu lynchings was a particularly bad experience. Young men killed in their prime for being in the wrong place and time.

diggz:
To be honest, I can’t like Izzous post enough. Today, it’s the hunters from the North; tomorrow, it could be an Edo man from another village or local government area.

Anytime I read some opinions on here, I just shake my head. I believe most people have never experienced close-to-death situations or seen/experienced tribal wars firsthand. Anyone who lived through the famous Warri wars in the '90s, or those who attended university in the '90s and early 2000s, would know how quickly things can change for the worse.

Nigeria is a unique country where people are generally lowkey wicked by default, or maybe na the ongoing hardships naim dey bring out the worst in people because this issue goes beyond north or south, but the characters of the people in Naija. Even individuals aren’t safe from people in their own state or region, as they might belong to a different tribe or family.

For example, I remember a bad experience from the late '90s. I was with my two older brothers and a driver, driving through one of the villages in the Isoko part of Delta State, heading to an event in another village when our vehicle was stopped by unruly youths protesting an ongoing issue in their town. They surrounded our vehicle, and someone was screaming to burn it down. Unfortunately, none of us spoke Isoko, and these people were already using things to smash the vehicle. To cut a long story short, God helped us reach our destination safely, but we had to take a longer route back to Warri.

While I understand the people’s anger, jungle justice is a no-go for me.

Until e reach your turn or any member of your family naim una go understand wetin dey sup!

May God not allow Nigeria to happen to us all!
