Recycling ex-footballers You must not play for Super Eagles for you to be successful as Super Eagles coach. Someone can be successful by studying (coaching science or whatever), training clubs etc. without ever playing any competitive game in their coaching career.
I wish the new team well to put smiles on football loving Nigerians
Can NFF please organise a match between this home Eagles and the regularly selected Super Eagles? Keshi did it and was able to select some home-based players fir Super Eagles.
I have been able to observe for a while the various CREWS of Nairaland and I want to use this opportunity to expecially enlighten those who have no idea about the existing CREWS....
So, let's go! All CREW members, come and represent your CREW
(1) The Religion Crew: These ones don't joke. They always look for every opportunity to spread their beliefs rigorously.
(2) The Memes Crew: These ones can boast of a truck load of memes in their possession. They always have memes for various occasions. Don't try them, because they can release a striking meme for you at any point in time.
(3) The Observers: These people don't often drop comments, unless they feel the need and necessity to do so. They remain anonymous most times and observe things from the background. They read comments, check what's up and move.
(4) The Talkatives: Also known as the attention seekers. They are always on every thread. They can even fight just to ensure that they talk and get noticed.
(5) The Disguise Crew: You see them having monikers of the opposite sex. But by their ways, you shall know them
(6) The Troll: I fear who don't fear these people. They can drag u everywhere, go way back to your ancestors to dig you up even when you are not around, they still trace you down your generation and follow you like village people.
(7) The Questinaires: I hail thee! They can ask questions for Africa. They can't do simple research. They always have a bucket full of questions to ask, even when the answers are obvious.
[8] The IDGAF Crew: These ones are somehow funny. Once they drop their bombshell, they just wouldn't give a f*ck. Even though they actually have a full pocket of f*cks and you need some, you know what they would tell you? I DON'T GIVE A F*CK!!! And after that, if you like quote them, or insult them from now till eternity, they will never reply you.
(9) The Begging Crew: They don't hide it. They will act as if begging has been entwisted in their DNA. Some even have different begging monikers. They try to convince people about their plight so as to get help. No problem. In case you like to render assistance to them, you might want to verify their claims and ensure that they are actually genuine.
(10) The BMC Crew: These people always sing praises and worship the government. They still find ways to praise them, even when they have obviously failed.
(11) The Feminist: These one will do anything to glorify and support females, but will shy away from correcting them when they are clearly wrong. If you want to know them, it's not difficult at all. Just criticize female, be it positive or negative. You will see them all out with their dragnets.
(12) The Redpillers: You already know. Also known as the alpha males. Only the name alone can make the ladies to start fidgeting. They have swallowed the red pill to fortify themselves against all kinds of women manipulations. In short, in their dictionary, they should always 'dominate' and 'be in control' and not the other way round.
(13) The Super Story Crew: These ones can create fake stories and try to make them look and sound genuine. They derive joy in spreading rumours. Most of them hide under the pretext of bloggers.
(14) The Derailers: These ones are so annoying. They can derail a useful thread or topic to make it become non-beneficial at the end. They have no meaningful contribution as they are only interested in trivialities.
(15) The Sadists: Also known as the joy killers or trouble makers. Don't be surprised if someone attacks you for no just cause. The sadists are always on ground to bring you down to their level, create trouble from nowhere and ensure that they squeeze out every element of joy in you.
(16) The Scam Crew: Also known as the sweet mouthers. These people look for all avenues to scam others. Some of them have a library full of books on how you can make billions of dollars under 30 minutes, when they haven't made one Naira. If you fall into their snares, it's goodbye to your money.
(17) The Tribalist Crew: This crew members can be annoying and irritating most times. They can turn any topic into a tribal war front. They speak viles and even go to the extent of creating new monikers just to vent their frustrations and speak ills of other tribes. In fact, in their dictionary, there is nothing like coexistence.
(18) The Moderation Crew: Also known as the 'Mods'. They are the backbone of Nairaland. They determine which topic moves to the front page and if you are not careful, they can dish you 700 years ban. Sometimes you wonder that a topic which isn't supposed to get to the front page is already there in a twinkle of an eye. It's simply because the poster already knew what the mod likes to push the topic there. For example, just give a particular mod a piece of snake...and your to topic will graze the front page...lol.
(19) The DM Crew: Some people call them 'SIMPS'. You will find them mostly in the romance section, always inside people's DM. They can equally be spotted simply from the way they interact. They always try hard to make themselves lovable. They can do anything to appeal to the opposite sex. Well, just don't throw out your self respect/worth or bug down people.
(20) The English Checkers: This crew members are very swift in checking every post for any grammatical errors. They have already checked this write up and have penned down all errors...haha!!!
Now, which of the CREWS do you belong to?
I am basically one of 'The Observers'
Mind you, you can belong to one or more CREWS simultaneously
Like if you think that Weed smoker and bomber belongs to group 8
And where would Righteousness and FalseProphet1 belong?

Mykelslim: These ones go suffer for their hands. Tribalism got us here. When bandits started their operation some f.ools called it business instead of tackling it. Now they're on rampage kidnap, ransom or kill.
Stop Nairaland tribal war
Hope not they're not trying to raise money for campaigns
The looting from all angles in Nigetia should worry the younger generations If you're 18+ go get your voter's card and vote for a genuine candidate at all levels - State and Federal levels

The event which took place at her expansive Abuja residence had in attendance friends, associates and top socialites.

She said though it has been a very challenging journey, her gratitude goes to God, her clients and friends who have associated with her brand over the years.

Their parents are ageing and would be the ones to majorly campaign for their children. Let the people decide their next political office holders. If their children are acceptable by the majority, so be it.
naptu2: Yes. He was mainly used as our substitute left winger at the time (he had a little dispute with Westerhof because he wanted to play as a centre forward, but Westerhof was using him as a left winger). He came on as a substitute in the Nations Cup match against Egypt.
I remember an interview that Jurgen Klinsmann gave in which he said that Nigeria must be very good if Ikpeba was on their bench.
He was quoted by a magazine (in the mid or late 1990s) as saying that Westerhof was jealous of him, which was why he always kept him on the bench. I was wondering who he wanted to bench, Amunike or Yekini (both Amunike and Yekini were in superb form at that time).
Yes, Amunike was the regular left winger. Okay, Ikpeba was a substitute for Tunisia 94. But was part of the unused players for the 94 World Cup.
DaniDani: Too many universities in this country already, why not something else, like industry? Why are Nigerians so much afraid of establishing industries, especially multi national industries?
Electricity With constant power supply, you'll be amazed how industries will spring up
But I don't know how this sounds... I hope he's not seeking sympathetic permanent position in Super Eagles
I think Ighalo had similar issue with his club and therefore didn't play in AFCON (though he's not needed) but decided to sign fir a different club during the transfer window
