Yes. We have limited the SAs to playing within their own half. They almost always make no ball progress when they enter our own half.

Don't jinx it Oo.

When they make ball progress and score now you will know that they can make ball progress.

Super Falcons needs to learn how to pass and play possession football.

Bukswag:
I do not agree with you

If Dangote were to provide jobs mostly to Hausas, with no other tribe in his employment, would he still become the richest person in Africa? Would he be able to diversify his investments in other regions?

No business man will ever support tribalism at the cost of his wealth. No tribe should do the same too.

That's the global reality not my opinion...

I noticed it about 5 years ago when I was going through pictures of Whyte owned companies in the U.S and noticed most of there did not have black employees but they had at worst one asian and one indian employees..

That's when I realized ownership of business is very important especially in reducing unemployment..

Then I also realized that most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "Tribalism" because the owners of the companies they apply for jobs at are not the same ethnicity as them since they ( the applicants ) are not from the 2 major ethnic nations in southern Nigeria who own most of the companies so it's hard for non-Yorubas and non-igbos to get jobs...

I am Yoruba and I'm entitled to my opinion.

I repeat: the chicken is bland. That is my personal opinion. Their chicken might be the sweetest to you but its bland to me. I sm Yoruba and i am also not a liar.

You have a right to keep deceiving yourself.

You're not Yoruba.

Pr:igozian had a right to his anti-Rus:sian opinion even though he was Ru:ssian but his dead today.

Ha::mas had a right to their anti is:real opinion but today over 30k pal:isti:nians have died due to their anti is:realness.

Your anti-Yoruba mentality will only lead to Yorubas to keep rising and rising while you keep regressing..

Bukswag:
Tribalism, left untamed, will do more damage to any national hope we have left than bad leaders ever will. A disgusting thing to do

But trust some people to spew bigoted comment all over the thread, while your leaders ironically team up to loot the country

Bukswag:
You're completely right - celebrating even your tribe isn't tribalism. But how about celebrating just to make a condescending point that subtly mock others, it's quite common to see threads like this on NL.

Also, I am Yoruba and threads like this will otherwise be educative if not for wide-mouthed tribal lords on this platform.

A Yoruba person in a Yoruba region celebrating Yoruba businesses is not tribalism.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

so any person or people who enters a region the person is not indigenous too and starts breaking the indigenes laws and creating and causing violence will be sentenced to death and killed and there is nothing anyone from the person's tribe can do because they will be creating problems for people who are not
indigenes and are not breaking any laws or causing violence.

Some people don't even have to enter a region they can use radio or tell their people to attack and kill the indigenes of a region. e.g Nnam:di K:anu, Be:llo Bo:dejo e.t.c. should have since been sentenced to death.

You are not Yoruba. A Yoruba person will be intelligent enough to know that owning a business means you control who gets employed which means since its a Yoruba owned business most of the employees will be Yorubas and this reduces the rate of un-employment amongst Yoruba people.

It is not the job of Yorubas to provide jobs for non-Yorubas.. that is the job of non-Yoruba business owners and non-Yoruba state governments and states...

Truths9ja:
Tantalizers, Chicken Republic, Mega chicken , Yakoyo, Bukateria, Sweet Sensation, Tastee Fried Chicken, Mr Biggs, Chicken Republic etcetera are all founded and own by Yorubas.
The food chain in Nigeria is actually controlled by the Yorubas.

stop "Nigerianizing" which Ethnic nation controls what...

because each of the major ethnic nations have regions and population that are big enough to be successful in their region..

Only thing is the Yoruba population have better purchasing power than other ethnic nations and have high population in the Yoruba built commercial capital of the Yoruba nation which is Lagos.

grandstar:
I'm Yoruba and I dislike such pro-tribe statements. It simply makes others bitter. No one hates you but this could be a spark.

You're not Yoruba..

You're a Yoruba hater because no true Yoruba person will bad mouth a Yoruba business by calling their products bland..

diamond68:
well if you have achieved all this why do you people cry like pregnant goat everyday that you are marginalised ? Obviously you are not marginalised if everything you have written here is true

i:gbos have never ever been marginalised... they only cry marginalisation in states they are not indigenous to so that they can get government positions in those states that is also one of the reasons they are the only ones that want "State of Origin" removed from the constitution.

i:gbos are not marginalized.

the way Nigeria is structured, ethnic nations that control a state can never ever be relegated, i:gbos control at least 6 to 7 states in Nigeria, the states means indigenous government officials ( i:gbo officials ) will always receive funds.

if i:gbos were marginalized then that means since 1970 they have not received any allocation from the FG and they have never held any Federal Government political appointments, and never been governors, senators, local government chairmen in their own states.

i:gbos are pros at emotional blackmailing other people to manipulate them to do what i:gbos want.

Omoawoke:
Yes I respect igbos and as well other tribes. But respecting your tribe and shading others is not okay, it’s not that you are special, you will only invite hatred to yourself when you make it look like others are drunkards. Saying you dominate everyone which is not true, are the others idiots?
I just gave you evidences of the same Yorubas you can’t just love doing very well in sectors like tech, entertainment, banking, but no word from you.

Omoawoke:
Now I understand the reasons for your outburst. Online banters na cruise

A supremacist believes he or his ethnicity is always better than you or your ethnicity even if you and your ethnicity have achieved much more than the supremacist will ever achieve in their lifetime.

A supremacist will always belittle and denigrate you and your ethnicity no matter your achievement.


You obviously are either under 20 years old or you are very naive..

for you not to know how the mind of a supremacist works shows you have never read history..

this is not cruise or online banters, the person you quoted is an i:gbo supremacist and will never ever respect a non igbo person no matter what..

most of them have this mentality so stop showing your naive attitude around them either online or offline...

gidgiddy:
You guys are laughable. You have a North that are the far majority in both houses of national assembly and can make or unmade any that concerns you. The top 10 jobs at NNPC are controlled by Northerners. Here is a Northerner telling you they control over 75% of Nigerias land. But you still dont know you are Northern domination?

The only time you people remember domination is if has to do with an Easterner. But if it had to do with a Northerner, you people will just fold and bow

Laughable

Ibibio Ijaws kalabari efik e.t.c are also Easterners but like fu:lanis hiding behind
"northerners" you an i:gbo is now trying to hide behind "Easterner" you're the one that's laughable.

When oil was found in Bayelsa your I:gbo ancestors wanted complete control over it instead of giving the Ijaws complete control and now that your ancestors failed to respect and protect the interest of other Easterners you're having sleepless nights..

Your igbo ancestors created problems for southern Nigerians especially your fellow Easterners by abolishing regionalism and now you want problems created by greedy and corrupt I:gbo men to the be solved by the SW you must be very foo:lish and even more foo:lish for using emotional blackmail.

Omoawoke:
Someone posted something better, a video of the oldest estate in Nigeria which is located in Ibadan.

the person posted a more recent video of the place...

even when I searched for the image most of the pictures showed 3 stories buildings and not the 1 story building the estate is known for..

the image I shared is how the houses were built because I remember my grand-aunty's own looking similar to that but most of the houses were white in color and had the same design and in the video Makunahatata shared I did not see a house that had the same design as the ones I used to see when I visited my grand-aunt in the 90s....

gidgiddy:
And what the rest of you ever done since 1970 the war ended ti free your self from Northern domination?

Absolutely nothing

its you and your ancestors that wanted i:gbo domination that foolishly and indirectly created northern domination..

it is not the business of the SW. the SW is okay with the oil in Ondo...

its the oil in Delta Bayelsa Akwa-ibom Rivers that you should be concerned about.

there is nothing like northern domination in the SW...

its you and your ancestors that created northern domination and are having sleepness nights over the so called northern domination.

Willed042:
Then show us, not bragging about what u never witnessed. What they had was compound settlement and not estate. What they had was called Agbole I yoruba and not estate. I don't know why u people so much love to twert narratives for bragging rights. Every elite figure in ancient history has that settlement so stop this shit.

broadman20:
Oga easy naaa!

We are not fighting o!

We only asked for pictures and you started showing us landmass. Landmss is not what makes a city or an estate beautiful Abeg.


Calm down and show us the pictures of the oldest estate in Ibadan, no fighting please.

the place is called housing corporation or new bodija.

It was not compound settlements... it was an estate of about 100 houses with spacious compounds..

its difficult to find pictures of the estate because they are not built like estates of today where your neighbour can see inside your room.. that's why omoawoke Makunahatata spagettiluv could not post pictures.

the image below shows one of the houses..

Brendaniel:
And that is because of people like you, Tinubu and the tribalistic Yoruba's who have sabotaged the south severally, you joined them to fight the civil war against the south, joined them to remove a southern president, joined them to enthrone Muslim Muslim ticket just to please them then you come out to complain that they are bullying the south....



That is a very big lie, the very comment I wrote up here is the reason these people behave this way, to me the south westerners I feel are the major cause, if this country was only Igbo and the north, there most likely would have been 2 outcomes, either the country would have been divided by now or the north would have adjusted and be way better than what it is right now....

it's igbos that sabotaged southern Nigeria by abolishing regionalism.

Nigeria was handed over to the I:gbos not northern Nigerias.

It was the i:gbos that the british handed Nigeria to not to the northerners because they wanted to control all the regions in Nigeria, so they planned a coup that killed the leaders of other major ethnic nations and abolished regionalism and eventually led to a civil war which they lost and the northerners maintained the unitary system of government put in place by the i:gbos

Bluntemperor:
Stop calling Lugard but the British - Divide and Rules Styles of government and was handed over to the North and they are still using it on the Southern People.ERONU!

Nigeria was handed over to the I:gbos not northern Nigerias.

Bluntemperor enlighten your brain.

spiSeyi:
This is not a matter of bigotry considering the tiny rope that binds every ethnic group in Nigeria. Air peace like a national career in this scenario just imagine that Nigerian airways hostess dey wear iron & buba. Reason logically and not emotionally, anyways nah body go tell Air peace

It is not a national carrier. It's a private business and there's nothing wrong in the CEO telling the staff to wear Isiagu.

Anyone who sees it as a bad thing is suffering from colonial mentality and does not have the intelligence to be happy for their fellow Africans promoting their culture.

linearity:
I do not know where you got your knowledge from, but you are very wrong...

Tee up: Miss Grace Anita Paul v. The Chief of Army Staff, read it and educate yourself, meanwhile, this is a summary of that case:

The Court held that:
"The Nigerian Army lacks the power to arrest, investigate, and hold in custody, anyone who is not subject to the Armed Forces Act or any other military law."

The Police power to investigate comes under Sections 4 and 84 of the Police Act. The military has no such powers over civilians, the reason people are not in the streets protesting is because we know that the rule of law does not mean sh!t in 9ja.

Did Miss Grace Anita Paul kill an army personnel

chiagozien:
It's only done like that in your Nigeria Because it has no rule of law.

No.

It's done like that all over the world..

If you watch tv series like NCIS, FBI e.t.c you will notice they are only called when the case involves their personnel.

linearity:
The military have no investigative authority over civilians, it should be the Military handing over suspects to the Police who would then investigate and prosecute the case!

Every security agency has an investigation department.

If Navy personnel is killed the police will hand over the suspect to the navy.
If customs personnel is killed the police will hand over the suspect to customs.
E.t.c

Agapeunit:
broda, efi tribalism sile! TRIBALISM IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR THE UPCOMING GENERATION PLS!

Upcoming generations will be more tribal because every race whether black, Whyte, eu:ropeans, a:sians, a:rabs, Africans e.t.c are all fighting for survival of the fittest.

Princedapace:
The people u abuse wanted to leave Nigeria in 1967, ur region fought them to stay back! U refused and formed a centralized system, that is why some of them are in ur region becus of Lagos.
So, stop ranting and lets push for complete break away of Nigeria so that the dot nations can go back to their village as u said.
But the same u people will be celebrating Naija military for killing these guys who are agitating to leave. What exactly is the color of una problem?

Igbos never wanted to leave Nigeria if they wanted to leave they would have done while Ironsi was the military Head of state.

Igbos are the ones that created a centralized government to have access to the wealth of other regions by abolishing regionalism and creating a Unitary government.

Stop spreading false history.

Slimlord:
There's nowhere in the world where the government of the country provides jobs for all the citizens man

The UAE provides jobs for all it's emiratis.

SoNature:
Oga, rest. You should ask yourself what your corrupt police did that provoked that Indian.

Indians in Nigeria are aggressive.

If you park beside their fence and they don't see you parking they will do things to your brakes..
If they see you parking there they will tell you not to park there angrily.

These ones should be deported.

You're suffering from inferiority complex..

Olatara:
I don't think so, I think they were more advanced in tech and human resources than we were, they had more guns and were able to defeat us.

They used biological weapons too.

We weren't advanced like them, they used our head wella and still doing it.

There was no tech in that era. They were and are more violent and brutal than Africans.

The same way armed robbers, kid:nappers and murderers control and kill their victims is the same way eu:ropeans were able to defeat Africans..

It has nothing to do with advancement and human resources just pure violence.

predictor1:
What resources? Oil and gas again? What about states that do not have any commercial resources? I agree with you that the allocation from the center can not help much.

Look, let the states develop their human resources. Let them improve the lots of their people. Then people will build more businesses and the government makes money from taxation. Even as it is now, a serious government can make money from taxes and duties. Look at Oyo state for example. If a proper government agency is in charge of collecting dues from okada riders and taxi driver the government will make good money then tax shop owners and small businesses. But they've grown lazy because of the money from Abuja.

State governments can also build farms and get revenue from sale of agriculture products.

State government can create and build companies they can earn revenue from.

Not everything is about to taxes.

FIFA has to sign off on any jersey design before production.

That means it has already been approved by FIFA..

It may end up been an amazing design and making massive sales.

Amedino99:
and? I'm sorry I don't get what irks you about this.

Nothing irks me..

It's just that what they couldn't do with other jerseys they did it with Nigerian jersey.

Well FIFA may have standards and policies that won't allow the print out in FIFA competitions.
