BankyGee:
None of our players were even able to match the speed of the Colombians. I was just imagining Opeyemi Ajakaye at the flanks yesterday... She would've terrorized the Colombian final third time and time again, but Randy no get sense... Is Linda Caicedo not their mate?

Linda Caicedo is their mate ooo

Our players were playing as if they are in their late 40s and they were always running away from receiving passes thereby making the passing range longer instead of shorter and simple.

If Oshoala was playing they would have just been playing long balls for her to run and get thereby over-working her..

daveP:
I was saying same too, but the nigerianesss mentality was making some to say they should not rush them, another glorified way of saying the Archaic "wait for your time" of old.


Onyenezide alone should be in this team by now. Ayinde is not going to perform wonders at this world cup. Infact the average age of each team's potential midfield is going to be so low and full of youngsters.


But here we are, delaying the inevitable. Delaying destiny, delaying capacity.


To make it worse, Randy.


If the coach wasn't randy and they still refused to take Esther and co, I'll still complain. By the time those girls are going for their 1st WWC(which isn't even a sure thing), Linda Caicedo would have become the female Mbappe. Make we dey play.

Exactly, you're right...

U20 players like Imuran, Alani (LB) instead of using Plumptre, Demehin, Debbie Abiodun, Esther Onyenezide, Joy Jerry, Flourish Sabastine. and U17 players like Ajakaye, Usani, Etim, Okenwa, Edafe , Afolabi should be in the Super Falcons or at least getting 20 - 45 minutes in the Super Falcons...

Waldrum is behaving as if all the players are injured and his playing players out of position instead of going to the U20 and U17 and picking their replacements..

Danielnino00:
At this point, I'm glad Oshoala isn't here.... With this rubbish Randy is doing.

He can't coach and he is intentionally sabotaging the team by playing players out of position.

The bad thing is the players are not smart enough to switch positions to their natural positions once they're on the field.

Onumonu should not be playing more than 50 minutes.

Ajakaye and sabastine should be in the super falcons.

this colombia is similar to the colombia U17 that struggled to draw Nigeria U17 girls which means some of the girls in Nigeria U17 should be in the Super Falcons this old women in the Super Falcons are too lacklustre...

Onumunu should not be starting games.. the attack is dormant with her leading it. Ajibade must stop playing midfield...

players like Sabastine, Gift monday, Ajakaye, Esther Onyenezide and idoko should be in Super Falcons..

Nomyth:
RIP to him.

Learnt he had purchased his ticket to leave the city but just decided to stay back.

Sad.

why are you sharing such picture?

If that was a picture of your family member, would you share it

Joebie:
We need good crossers and long ball specialists for Osimhen to get maximum support in SE. who are the candidates?

Lookman
Ejuke
Iwobi
Nwakali

_________________
S.E has Osimhen, Onuachu, Awoniyi, sadiq.. and the wingers ( Moses Simon
and chukwueze) don't know how to cross.

Even the fullbacks don't cross. It was a cross that led to the goal against Egypt.

rabzy:
We are definitely watching a legend in the making...there is no stopping this guy...absolutely no league can handle him..Osihmen will keep battering defences until something gives either him or the defenders..Injuries and himself are the only things that can stop him.

A coach can stop him by benching him and moving to the wrong club can also stop him..

With Insigne no longer there.. Napoli is the best club for him.

Tradepunter2:
It's a nairaland type of mail... I send a request to you via nairaland.... nairaland notifies you and then we can start to communicate...

I can't see any mail..

Nice analysis brah.... Wish more indepth analysis can be done this way.

I can't see your email

BlackAIIDay:
Only one game spoilt the second game....fuch Apoel

you're not serious.. don't ever say "fuch anyteam"..

Learn from your picks..

those two teams are in the same city and are city rivals and A:poel is on better form and favorites.

when the favorites is playing away they at worst draw or score one goal.

so pick your markets based on form and if the favorites is home or away..

I understand your pain.. this weekend Genk ( home team and favorites ) lost their match ... the image below..

AndSunGorilla:
Premium oil dey your head!!!! But then again, truth be told, sometimes some monikers talk about him too much and seem to paint the picture that his inclusion in the team will resolve all the team's shortcomings. The excessive mention sometimes seems awkward. All that said, I wish Nwakali nothing but the best for his career even whether he plays for 9ja or doesn't. After all players like Owubokiri, Akpoborire and Obiku had somewhat good careers in Europe without playing so much for 9ja.

You guys forget that Nwakali is playing in a country that prioritizes midfielders and midfield play so the indigenes will be 1st to be considered before anyone else... even Ramon Azeez had his own issues...

I think the best country for Nigerian midfielders is Belgium and Denmark and it also depends on the coach.... Mikel had issues with Conte and had to leave... Since Mikel, Bonke, Frank Onyeka, Ndidi and Iwobi have been the only Nigerian midfielders playing in top 5 leagues and even Iwobi position has been changed by several managers and Iwobi also has his struggles with different coaches since leaving Arsenal..

Nwakali has a skill-set of through passes, corner kicks, long passes that can bring out the best in the Super Eagles strikers and that's why he is needed in the team...

Against Tunisia he created a one on one opportunity for Sadiq by making a through pass to Sadiq which Sadiq missed. Now imagine if it was Osimhen , Lookman, Moffi or Ihenacho receiving that through pass and how we could have equalized...

football is a game of creating chances/opportunities and taking those chances. Nwakali can create chances that can put S.E 1 or 2 goals ahead and the entire team starts defending that lead at least that's what Morocco did anytime they scored the first goal that made them reach the Semi-Finals of the World Cup..

Against Ghana, there was no player to create chances for the Strikers, Moses Simon was trying to dribble everyone, Chukwueze wing was un-used...

Against Portugal, the same issue, no player to create chances for the strikers...

two players S.E needs and are not liked on this thread are Nwakali and Chidera Ejuke...

If Aba manufactures get cottage industries to enable them scale manufacturing, will it fail?

If Aba manufactures are tot how to manufacture parts and have access to tools and machines for manufacturing will it fail.

That's the system I am talking about, let the poor man also have is factory, refinery, biz, etc.

No be only the rich go dey make am for Nigeria. This trend is very bad.

this is why businesses have a Research Department or division. so that they can educate themselves on how to design and manufacture parts...

the poor man can never have his factory, refinery because they do not have the university degree, technical know-how and money to own and build and manage those things.

if the rich man doesn't make it then the poor man becomes poorer and the rich man also becomes poorer... and in the end there's no one to give jobs to the poor man who has become poorer which means the poorer poor man cannot get work experience and technical know-how to even start his own biz if he wants to because due to your mentality the rich man has become a poor man because you don't want him to make it.

LikeAking:
I don't think it will fail in Nigeria. The suffering is much, no body will miss such an opportunity.

You mean, if government for example. Provide mordern machines and cottage industries for local palm oil manufactures in our villages for them to scale up and mordenize, it will fail?

I doubt..

Or government teach them how to build these machines and also provide avenues for them to build the machines, they will throw the opportunity away.

Let's try it first..

It is not the job of the government to teach people how to build machines that's the job of universities and companies and also the intelligence
of the person who is starting the business..

it is not the duty of the government to build machines and cottage industries for local palm oil manufactures in our villages because most of the people in villages lack university education and have never worked for companies that can give them work experience so that they understand the process of building machines and besides each palm oil product will have different ingredients and people ( buyers ) may prefer the palm oil produced by person A than buy person B palm oil who is in the same "cottage industry for local palm oil manufacturers" as person A so what is the point of the cottage industry since you think and want everyone to do well.

the point is you can't force people to buy from person B if buyers prefer person's A products.

again Kobonaire4 has explained everything.

LikeAking:
Imagine an open factory, wia anyone who has gone through training, can manufacture or produce there.

Wont it solve a problem?

Some black Smith's in the west make those big pots mama put women use with local tools.

If government/organizations build a morden factory for them to scale up and upgrade their product quality, what will u call that?

I mean an open factory for all of them to manufacture.. Will it work or not?

rich people were once poor people or middle class people but they created a product that was popular and making sales so they made money.

to create a product they needed to get education or university degree, then work experience, then get a loan or investors to sponsor them then they started their own small companies which later grows to become a big company.

Kobonaire4 has explained everything but your hate for rich people is blocking your brain...

lagos government constitute less than 10% of economic activities and less than 5% of labour in lagos ...

Non lagosians do the remaining 90% and you know that non yoruba are more than 60% of lagos population

You can cry from today to next 20yrs .. The truth is that lagos is shared and non Yoruba has the higher chunk ... Or get ready to fight the Hausa Fulani at Age, Iddo, Ketu, Obalende, Idi Araba , Alaba Rago

Get ready to confront the igbo at Festac all the way to Satellite town to Alaba Ojo via Iyana Iba


Get ready to confront the Edo at Egbeda, Gowon , alimosho etc ....

What about the Ijaw at Boundary , agility etc


Can you fight these people from different fronts ! As you can see...say bye to lagos ownership

Lagos state government is 100% of the economic activities and 100% of labor in Lagos because they are the regulatory authorities.

non-yoruba do less than 0.8% of anything in Lagos...

there's no need to fight... Just pass a policy giving non-yoruba visa status in Lagos and entire SW and if they don't renew that VI:SA they get deported to their regions..

tegrianonigltd:
That’s what you think, there are different English here, when a London or Kent, or Northampton speak, you know it’s them, when a leed, Manchester, burnley, old ham, yo know it’s them, when a liverpool, Newcastle, Southampton, etc speak, you know, they have different tongue, same way we have as Nigerians, they are English people, but different in culture and english language, same way we are different in culture and english, you aren’t here so you won’t know,


Nasty c moving to Johannesburg/sandton doesnt make him less South African for moving to the commercial hub. Or the rest South African musicians who moved to the capital hub of the country,

The problem with you people is that you are not quite learned or know histories of things, Lagos was Lagos before anybody,

The first oba of Lagos was benin, the lineage is benin. Lagos don’t have deep lagosians apart from the aworis who migrated also. It’s the commercial hub,

there's no such thing as different en:glish people... En:glish is an ethnicity so they can't be different...

South Africa is not Nigeria.. the tribes in south Africa did not fight a civil war. so there's no suspicion and mistrust among the tribes...

the first oba of a particular section of lagos not the whole of Lagos, he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of a secretary or diplomat or intermediary of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and founded by the Aworis.. and was governed by warring Yoruba tribes...

there is nothing like Lagosian.. stop deceiving yourself... It has always been the commercial hub of the Yorubas not Nigeria..

AmuDimpka:
come and pursue all the tribes in lagos and claim it


For your information lagos has been forever divided

99% of people working in Lagos state government are Yorubas.

over 50%-70% of the businesses are Yoruba owned businesses...

Your chances of getting a job in the state government reduces if you're not Yoruba..

Lagos can never be divided.

muskay:
Bros, even Niger state Governor would not like to go and renovate and invest in that building at Zuma rock because the building, as was told, has been infested with evil spirits and demons causing mysterious happenings.The demons have claimed ownership of the structure.The building initially was meant to serve as tourist destination but because of the mysterious circumstances happening within and around the building,it has to be abandoned for good.Imagine you go lodging with your partner and after going to bed in your pyjamas and night gown, only for both of you to wake up on the roadside stack naked surrounded by ugly dwarf creatures clapping and dancing around you.This is just one instance.Will you go there again?

stop believing rubbish stories...

its the indigenes and traditional leaders in that area that didn't allow the business there to thrive because they wanted money so they sabotaged the business.. If the indigenes and traditional leaders had allowed that business to thrive other businesses would have been created in the area and would have created a positive impact on the economic and social welfare in the area.

that place is supposed to be booming with tourists.. but people with mentality like yours are the reason for its under-development..

icyyy69:
Lagos is for all Nigerians as port Harcourt or Abuja or KANU or kaduna or Onisha or Owerri... This country belongs to us all. As a Nigerian you have the right to live and migrate to anywhere you want. You tribalistic Yorubas can't change that fact. Nigeria is for all of us.

tegrianonigltd:
Lagos be like London to uk, Cairo to Egypt, Johannesburg to SOUTHY etc, so stop talking like who no get sense. Someone from Leeds moving to London, means he is seeking assylum in this own country commercial hub.

Leeds just like London is in En:gland which is the indigenous home of En:glish people...

Lagos just like Ekiti is the home of Yoruba people.

Lagos is not the home of non-Yoruba people..

there is no ethnicity known as Nigerian..

even if you can live in any part of the world, the indigenes can make things difficult for you..

charity begins at your ethnic home or region...

JohnBullMySon:
Do you know how many "foreign born", even those who never played for Nigeria, are involved in charitable causes? I'm sorry but it can't even be compared to the rest.

Nigeria has a way of imbibing materialism, tribalism and unhealthy competition in the psyche of many who grow up there.

Even if an average Nigerian wants to charitable, he will focus all his attention on his family and his relatives. At most will be his hometown. Then he'll spend the rest on lavish items.

It generally boils down to one issue. These are what growing up in poverty does to the mindest of people generally around the world. Most people with Grace to grass stories (or those who usually say they are from the streets) may seem nice and friendly on the outside but are usually very badly behaved and easily look down on people. Those who grew in wealth or comfort in the outside may seem snobbish, unapproachable, but inside are more respectful and helping of others. They often grow to appreciate how lucky they were while the ones who are "self-made" will be asking you why you can't "Hussle".

I have interacted with many people and I'll tell you that the best Nigerians you'll interact with or generally the best people are more likely than not, people who grew up in a comfortable and well to do environment, whether in Nigeria or outside Nigeria.

When England invaded and colonized Nigeria, It was their country England they developed and enriched... so there is nothing wrong in an average Nigerian been charitable to his family and hometown.. Charity begins at home..

Nigeria doesn't have a way of imbibing materialism, tribalism and unhealthy competition.. foreign media is the one that imbibes materialism and unhealthy competition.

Nigeria is designed to try its best at imbibing poverty, poor infrastructure, poor healthcare e.t.c. on the citizens...

there is low tribalism in Nigeria.. what you call tribalism is actually nationalism.. If you call people like b:ooharyy a triba:list then you'll be correct because they support directly or indirectly the killing of other ethnic nations..

Once again you are being assumptive in the negative. Assuming you know but you don't. Your view is very limited and condescending, it's not knowledge but the opposite.

First of all you cannot create a parochial biased and sorry ignorant of definition of , what it means to or not be born in Nigeria.

That's simply ludicrous, a definition created by yourself for yourself to suit your own narrative it is birthed from unenlightenment.

I was born in the UK 🇬🇧 along with my siblings My Father is an academic as well at the time an officer in the British Army, my mother a medic.

After high school at a Warri Gbeghe Gidigbo school then after brain reset ( Onyibo mentality destroyed) , I returned for university, parents did not pay any fees for me. University has a grant system.

My parents are in Delta, my Grand father had several wives. That's lots of uncles and Aunties both sides , several first cousins lived with us, we consider them as brothers and sisters.

My classmates from High school and university in England are Directors, Heads of Corporate affairs, politicians, Business entrepreneurs, etc in Nigeria a few are in the Military. At university in England some of my classmates parents were Governors and Generals ,Rear Admirals in the Military .

Some of them were sons and daughters of farmers, petty traders, Pastors, etc living in remote parts of Nigeria.

I will not talk about what I do for people that I know and don't know, God knows, that's all I need. I have friends who earn 40k a month, etc

I have considerable interests in Nigeria sometimes I visit the most senior paramount ruler's in my tribe, Isoko/ Uhrobo.

My father lectured at UNN I speak Igbo, as well as bits of Yoruba and my language as well as Warri pigeon fluently.

I deh waka for night drive from Warri to Benin midnight no shakin I rugged dye. When I reach Warri I be area.

You simply have no idea about Nigerians born outside of Nigeria, my friends invest millions of pounds in the Nigerian economy.

Finally, do you know how many born and brought up in Nigerian citizens once they JAKPA burn their passport and refuse to return back ❓❓

Finally finally ,2021 I was in Nigeria for 7 months plus over three trips.

there are holes in your story...

komekn:
Your are making very wild assumptions.

What % of Nigerians want to permanently JAKPA from the country ❓❓

Why do you think that KC wants to return to Nigeria and he sends most of his money to a volatile economy. Is that what he told you ❓

Seyi Olofinjana ex Nigerian born international l remember him as a coach in Wolves. He is now Sporting Director at Zurich in Switzerland. Why did he not return to Kwara state ❓

You are way too assumptive

I send considerable amounts of money to Nigeria I have several interests in Nigeria . But I was not born in Nigeria and only went secondary school in Warri. I went to two Russel group universities in England.

So according to you I should have nothing to do with Nigeria, because I was not born there.

Because then born pesin for Burger king EEE no mean say you be Beefburger na.

Bro you need to update you reasoning.

KC will stay at Leicester until his contract expires, nobody is going to pay a largely impotent striker £100k a week. When contract expires he will go anywhere he wants but not on £100k.

You weren't born in Nigeria means your siblings weren't also born in Nigeria or left Nigeria before they were 5-7 years old which also means your parents aren't living in Nigeria which means the only and major reason you visit Nigeria is to see your grandparents.

If you're sending money to Nigeria then you're sending it to your grandparents.. since your parents paid for you and your siblings University education please don't finish their money because the last I heard, people are protesting in the U.K..

Unlike you Ihenacho siblings and parents and grandparents are living in Nigeria. The friends he made from nursery to primary to secondary School and the football academy he attended in Nigeria are living in Nigeria and he has more reasons to visit Nigeria more often than you.

Asisat Oshoala has so many projects she does in Nigeria for the schools she attended and young girls.

Most foreign borns don't have anything to do with their parents country.

humility33:
Of a truth Sir do u think had it been Nacho was a foreign born he will be comfortable sitting on Leicester bench? Despite his enormous abilities

Most of our home grown players are not ambitious, the only ambitious that drive them is to make it to Europe once that has been achieved they move into obscurity.

The answer to your question is in your write up...

Ihenacho is not foreign born. So a lot of the money he makes he sends it back to Nigeria. The only thing he will pay for in England will be housing, food, children's school fees e.t.c.

Depending on if he marries a Nigerian or e:uropean, he will likely come back to Nigeria and spend his money unlike Mikel Obi who luckily has a wife who's also has her own millions.

The salary ihenacho gets at Leicester may have exceeded his ambitions and that may be one of the reasons he is comfortable there.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cobra

Read that and educate yourself
. There are no king cobras in Africa.

A written book or document is based on the knowledge and bias of the writers. So the writers of the link you shared have not seen King Cobras in Africa does not mean it does not exist..

GorillaApp:
Wrong
Do a research and you will find they are under different genus( classification)

A king cobra is the only specie of cobras that eats other snakes

Wrong.

In the bi:ble, Moses stick that turned to a snake ate the other snakes. That's proof of king cobras already existing in Africa.

ScamHunter:
Before the advent of the whiteman, Africans weren't dying randomly from snakebites even though our ancestors lived in thick jungles. The reason is that there are native medicines and medicine men. Some of them still exist in some rural area and still treat snakebites successfully. Barely. We must acknowledge that African medicine is mostly endangered. The problem is that Africans throw away their culture for the whiteman's yet incapable of delivering the whitemans version. In other words, there are almost no Africans left. We are now a mixed bag of confused race. Neither Africans or Europeans due to our messed psyche.

Snakes were totems in Africa before the advent of the wy:teman.. Africans weren't dying from snake bites because in that era snakes were like dogs in this era of 2023..

Africans didn't live in thick jungles... Africans lived in gardens and farms... after the wy:teman, the wy:teman destroyed and burnt the farms and gardens and Africans were forced away from their homes and farms which is similar to what the h:erdsmen are doing...

Africans didn't throw away their culture.. Most of the educated Africans were killed and the current presidents of countries are e:uropean puppets so there's no investment in African medicine unless private individuals sponsor it...

and with the way h:erdsmen are going very soon there won't be indigenous African or Nigerian foods anymore..

Antivirus92:
king cobra and forest cobra are quite very different....

in fact, a forest cobra is TINY compared to a king cobra

thats the problem..

the person who examined and wrote about forest cobra only saw the small ones and concluded that they are tiny...

cobra is cobra...

Nchenches:
Because snake is an EVIL creature, the only stupid and dangerous animal which dies not differentiate between human dwelling and the bush.
All dangerous animals go to the bush, don't come close to human dwelling places, except ugly snake.
Kill any snake wherever found.

Snake is not an evil creature... snakes eat rats and mice e.t.c so snakes hunt rats and mice into people homes..

snake used to be an African totem and were highly regarded in Africa but after the e:uropeans invaded Africa they demonized snakes because it was an African totem and in their books which also includes the bi:ble portrayed snakes as de:vilish animals..

Parachoko:
Lol

Let me ask you again, do you really know a King Cobra?

There's no crime in not knowing about something but it becomes a crime when you start arguing blindly about what you don't know about. 😾😾😾

There's no way person wey Sabi King Cobra go dey talk wetin you dey talk

You do not know about a King Cobra, yet you dey claim to know about its habitat 😕😕😕

ceejayluv:
There are cobras in Africa... But the particular king Cobra is endemic to Asia

elnegrodeafriqu:
There are big cobras in Africa, but the king cobra is native to India. No king cobra in Africa. Same way people always wrongly say there are tigers and alligators in Africa.

GorillaApp:
He is correct. No king cobra in Africa.

India and Asian countries

greygoblings:
There are no King Cobras in Africa, not to talk about even Nigeria. King Cobras are only found in Aisa. You don't need to argue with them....

mickyeddi:
There ain't no king cobras in Africa.

There are cobras in Africa and there are definitely King Cobras in Africa...

Barely looking at the images of the cobras in Africa and the so called king cobra you can tell they're the same thing just that in one continent one is called king cobra and in another continent the same cobra is called forest cobra....

It's the same as saying there's no word known as "colour" in the U.S but "color"..

Angelfrost:
What exactly is your point sir?!! Without the condescension and insults, if you can!
