Yeah I can believe he's under 21 but who advised him to lower his age all the way to 16? So he can't sign a professional contract until 2025 at the earliest why sabotage yourself like that? Considering that he's really talented it would mean he would miss out on vital development his peers like Eletu and Akin in Milan are getting.

TheSuperNerd:
Relax Curtis. Read the above from last year's Wafu B. This is on Daniel Daga.




And on Aigbogun's U20 side, we have a few pearls from that set. Very few though. One of them could even make his SE debut in defence. And one already has made his SE debut but is on a low for now.

They are as follows:

✅️Kingsley Michael made his Super Eagles debut vs Cape Verde in the WCQs (remember?). Although since then, he has kinda faltered as he was recently released by Austrian side, SV Ried after moving from Bologna on an initial loan deal. Unfortunate low.

✅️Akor Jerome Adams is doing well in the Eliteserien and is strongly linked with a Bundesliga move.

✅️Chinonso Emeka is finding his feet in the Slovak Fortuna Super Liga with AS Trencin.

✅️Nnamdi Oforburh was diagnosed with a heart condition after moving to Rangers of Scotland. So he's been inactive ever since. A decent midfield prospect he was.

✅️The Brightest of the lot so far... CB, Igoh Ogbu of Slavia Prague. Moved from the Eliteserien where he impressed at Lillestrøm and secured a move to Peter Olayinka's Slavia Prague. They are Europe bound and he's been a mainstay even winning the Czech Cup this season.

So while I get your points on some of the ills plaguing our football, I just want to draw your attention to a few genuine youngsters who are coming through the same flawed system and making their way to the top gradually.




Lastly.... back to Daga. Below is a pic of Daga from the Wafu B. This was only last year.

He is a genuine kid. Only that he could be 19 and not 16. I DONT KNOW EXACTLY but one thing is certain, he is a very young lad.

She's probably being victimized by one oga at the top and she has naively fallen into the trap. Security forces especially the Nigerian variant don't take kindly to insubordination real or otherwise. She should have reached out to one senior officer preferably female who would have advised her and helped her know how to comport herself in the face of deliberate hindrances.

Don't mind them with all those nonsense hashtags and take the knee stuff that doesn't solve anything.

If people are really sincere then let sponsors pull out and us the viewing public stop watching games on TV or attending matches.

When it begins to hit their pockets trust me they will begin to fix up.

Big congratulations to Ladan Bosso and his boys yesterday. I doubted their chances and even made fun of them but they shut me up well and proper. Still have reservations about how far they can go in this tournament but for today all they deserve is kudos.

Daga and Eletu are really the truth! Fedrick was also outstanding. Kudos to Bamaiyi, Sunday, Agbakala, The goalkeeper, The number 9 and Emmanuel for putting in the shift.

Saki the number 7 also impressed me. A bit excited as to what he can do with proper coaching.

Unto the next one cool

Bro-in-law saw hell in that business. Even technology (vehicle trackers, fuel monitoring for diesel etc) could stop one thing or the other from Fing things up.

Ibime:
Na brave guys dey do that business for Naija. It's a tight margin business but predictable. However in a setting where you can lose 1 in 10 trucks to Nigerian roads be it accident, vigilantes, bad roads, poor drivers, kidnappers, not to mention drivers probably siphoning diesel, I wonder how they plan out their cash flow and payback periods on trucks. Too many variables dey Naija setting

quality post. "you can't legislate love"

lovewins:
This isn't exactly accurate though. What the EPL does better than the others is grandstand and posture, but when it comes to addressing racism they are all the same. Isn't it the same England that Saka and 2 others were subjected to racist abuse after that euros penalty misses?

The EPL has learnt from the USA playbook;
Just kneel before every match, wear special wrist bands, donate to causes that "fight racism" etc. The most important thing is that you be seen as an ally.

Sadly, we can only learn to manage these things, racism isn't going anywhere. It's hate plain and simple and It is innate to the fallen man. It disguises itself in different shades and nomenclature but borne of the same source. It's called tribalism in African parlance but racism abroad. We saw it in our elections just a few months ago. It rares it's ugly head on this platforms too from time to time.

I wish there was a legislative solution to this, but you can't legislate love into people's heart.

Disgraceful really. Read the infuriating statement by the la liga president.

How can you be attacking Vinicius for rightly reacting against filthy racists chants. This nonsense has been happening since the days of E'too but sadly the Spanish football authority hasn't shown enough boldness to stop it.

Danielnino00:
I just watched the Vinicius reel of the many racist abuse he has received from fans in the La Liga.. it's disgusting.. quite shockingly,it has gone unnoticed and unpunished by the league hierarchy...

This is one of the things that set the premier league apart...racism exists there,yes, but actions are taken against offenders.. other leagues just don't seem to care

But when you say open the gates do you mean allowing cement imports?

For instance do you know that one of the reasons Dangote cement is cheaper in other African countries is because they are competing with Chinese imports.

Dangote is not perfect but I still give him his due.

Lafarge has been operating in Nigeria for years but never thought to set up a local cement plant until Dangote came around.

Same bs MTN was trying to pull in the telecom industry before Glo came and helped reset their brain.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]You'll have to throw it open to find out.

I think the cement sector is kinda locked. They are not giving room for more competitors.

Dangote, Lafarge and Bua just dey do as dem like.

When they opened the floor in the Flour milling, Dangote sold his Flour mills and ran away with is slippers on his hands.

If you open the gates of the cement industry completely, you may find out it is cheaper[/color]
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by chrisooblog: 7:53pm On May 22, 2023
If you're talking about cement is it cheaper to import it? If so why hasn't anyone done it? Any if his cement is over priced why hasn't anyone produced their own affordable cement?

iamoyindamola:
I have my fear in this too
Dangote products are normally expensive or on par with other brands in price
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by chrisooblog: 7:48pm On May 22, 2023
Once there's no fuel subsidy marketers won't really have a say on anything. The market will be free for everyone to sell petroleum products anyhow they want. Even if they still insist on wanting to import it won't make economic sense due to subsidy removal because the imported fuel will cost way more than whatever price Dangote will be selling his for.

iamoyindamola:
You know what I am thinking?
So long we still have these marketers our problem on this petrol is yet to be solved

You're missing the bigger picture the amount of FX that will be saved and added to our economy will seriously boost our reserves and bring the Naira/$ exchange rate lower which you can only imagine how that will have a positive effective on manufacturing cos you won't have to so much unlike now to bring in your raw materials.

hopefulLandlord:
If we're to look at effect of other things Dangote took over in the past and present like Cement etc then it's certain it won't reduce cost of production, neither would it reduce price of PMS and other petroleum products the refinery would be churning out, it would rather increase exponentially the prices of petroleum products but it would most likely be gradual and Nigerians would be poorer for it.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by chrisooblog: 7:39pm On May 22, 2023
So now this is the issue Nigeria spends a big chunk of FX paying for the importation of petroleum products. Logical with that gone you won't have to waste scarce dollars on fuel imports meaning stronger currency. Dangote will also be exporting meaning more fx entering the economy. The multiplier effect can of this project can only be imagined from plastics, road construction and even power/water supply.

Will the price be low? it depends cos I don't know at what price NNPC will sell crude to Dangote plus if he decides to import the crude then prices will reflect the cost of the crude oil he brought in plus cost of production added on top but experts say it's unlikely the price will be low.

iamoyindamola:
It's a good thing to have a refinery, the question we have is will it reduce our cost of production and reduce the price of petrol for the final consumers
That's the koko

Congrats to Man City one of the best if not the best side in the world right now.

Kudos also to the genius Guardiola for turning the 'competitive' EPL to a farmers league.

Arsenal no sugarcoating it we bottled the league but still super proud of what we did this season.

This will hurt no doubt but learn important lessons and get stronger for next season.

Big shoutout to Awoniyi. Despite an injury interrupted season you returned and stepped up when it mattered most.

Simple question for the basketball NBA fans which team do you remember between the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls from the late 80s and early 90s? The answer perfectly captures theme around the whole Guardiola and Mourinho debate.

I respect Jose as a born winner but his brand of football is hurtful to my eyes to watch.

Philosopher1979:
Yeah i admire Guardiola
because he is definng a new era of Football.
Without Guardiola football will loose its fans.
A ten year old boy will not enjoy watchng Maurinho teams
and with Maurinho 30 years from now football may loosed its popularity
Its becuase of creative players like pele, maradona, ronaldo, messi etc\
that football became popular not boring 1 nill wins where you win a 38 match league by
scoring only 45 goals.

Secondly, Guardiola's method are truly innovative.
I think he invented the concept of the midfield playing full back.
Maurinho may not be remembered for nothing except winning.
He is not bringing beauty to football.
50 years from now, everyone will be talking about Guardiorla.
His style will be copied for a long time
