Toks2008:
Nigeria problem is not really about leadership but of structural anomaly brought about by a failed constitution of 1979 and amended in 1999...This is the reason why any elected president will never make any viable progress because the present constitution is very inimical to the progress of Nigeria.

Toks2008:
So what is the essence of maintaining the current structure that has put the south in a subservient position to the north?

Toks2008:
Go and do proper research perhaps you will know better

You're very wrong.

The structural anomaly is not because of the Constitution but because of Ojukwu, Ironsi coup which abolished regionalism because they wanted to take over control of Nigeria not knowing that their own region the Eastern region was about to experience a massive and positive economic boom due to their lack of foresight.

Northern Nigeria will never allow it and the U:K will never allow it because it allowed and still allows Sh:ell oil company to become the oil Juggernaut that it is today and one of the main reasons Nigeria never had a functioning ref:inery.

hedonido has given you the best answer...

Blame the I:gbos for the woes southern Nigeria is suffering and not the Constitution.

Only poor people care about tribe and ethnicity and religion differences.

eeetuk comment below answers you.. and in case you miss the point he said most jobs go to locals which in Nigerian terms means indigenes..

We are not Nigerians. In Nigeria also most jobs go to indigenes because Nigeria is a country that has countries inside it when you realize and understand this then half of your problem is solved.

Non-indigenes in Nigeria say there are no jobs in the country but the truth is the jobs go to the indigenes or locals..

In summary,
Life will quite difficult for people without generational wealth who live outside of their ethnic country..
There's no ethnicity called Nigerian..

"A Nigerian man identified as Chinedu Ogugua Bosah has been sentenced to 13 years imprisonment for sm¥ggling coc@ine into the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)."

Living your country to another country, no matter what the reason may be, is a terrible decision for many reasons. First, how you are going to support yourself is difficult. Second, how to return to your country when things get tougher, and worst is difficult. Third, Locals don't like foreigners make it difficult to survive.

I listed above reasons with lots of experiences in my belt. When i left Nigeria years ago to study abroad, the money i brought from Nigeria to my foreign country only lasted me for a year. Finding a job after was difficult. That is because most jobs go to locals. And even when locals don't want the job, employers still refused to hire foreigners. It gets worser, when you are black man. So is the case with many Nigerians who are now caught in crimes spree. So, i faced many difficulties completing my education, and the truth is, never one day did i think of committing a crime. I did odd jobs to pay my way to school and graduated. Then, I went to graduate school and graduated also. And thank God for that.

Nigerians who are caught up in crimes are those who cannot support themselves after they arrived in a foreign country to study. Returning home is never an option because you are ashamed of yourself and thinking about how you are going to survive back home.

So, the purpose of contributing to this story is to advice Nigerians to please stay at home. That is because home is the best. No difficulties that you are going through in NIgeria today is lesser than what you meet abroad. Unfortunately, many Nigerians cannot handle problems they encounter in foreign countries, hence, they engage in illegal activities and get caught in the process. Please, fellow Nigerians, stay at home. Home is the best!

Ancelloti wants Victor Osimhen at Madrid
This one go pain many here o.

It will not be wise if he joins them especially when Napoli is top of Serie A and in the January window..

He needs a league title to his name and Napoli understands his injury issues more than any team same way Almeria understood Sadiq injury issues and would have rested him...

lesbiconverter:
If he had remained in Nigeria, I'm sure he won't be this tall

If he had remained in Nigeria he will be the same height as his family members..

Unless he was already tall before he left.

komekn:
Nwakali is not good enough.

His league is largely on the level of league one or lower. If he is doing good it's because the league is poor.

Nwakali is more than good enough.. if he is doing good it's because he is good..

If Spain 2nd division is poor then why is England relegated from nations league group A

Spain is in the semi-final

Stop saying rubbish...

AndSunGorilla:
We can't make assumptions sir, what we can see right now as a fact is that Awaziem is in a backwater league and that is a fact!!! What led to that, how that happened are all excuses and assumptions no matter how compelling they might be (if any).

If those leagues are backwater leagues then what is the Nigerian league

BannedLarge:
It’s not just on paper, he is presently our BEST CB if he isn’t, who is? I’m asking those that are saying that he isn’t our best CB option.. obviously, he needs to step up and improve on his performance but you must remember that, this is only his 3rd season since being a professional.

Super Eagles needs fullbacks that can cross the ball..

Bassey is better as LB for the Super Eagles..

chrisooblog:
For Moffi you can argue he's has performed relatively well in a higher level league compared to Onuachu but until we see Paul in a top 5 European league it will be unfair to draw that judgment. Sadiq got injured before he could take off properly in La Liga so we can't really use league performance as basis of whether Umar trumps Paul.

Now using national team football you can't really separate the 3 forwards in terms of lasting impact and performance. That said one can argue Onuachu has had a longer stay in the national team than the previous 2 and apart from his wonder goal against Egypt back in 2018 he hasn't exactly set the house on fire with his displays in the SEs.

Personally Moffi looks more like someone who could deputize for Osimhen. I was impressed with his game against Algeria recently. His overall output and not just his goal won me over. Overall I agree that the number 2 striker position is still not cast in stone and it's still open for anyone to grab that chance.

charlesemeka85:
he is automatically osimhen’s deputy in the national team

Miles better than any other striker we can boast of currently

Moffi is not a deputy to anyone. Moffi will play alongside Osimhen in the starting eleven.

Anyone who says Moffi is a deputy is very incompetent and also an incompetent football analyst....

Damioduso1:
I don't know why Nigeria could not qualify for this year FIFA world Cup in Qatar. Most of Our top player's are on form currently.

the reason NIgeria didn't qualify for the World Cup is due to incompetent Nigerian coaches and poor tactics especially the long ball tactics and low number of midfielders invited and over-confidence....

Moffi and Onuachu were not called up for the qualifiers and Iwobi had red card..

Danielnino00:
Do you know that Klopp has been using a 4-4-2 this season? Firmino and Salah up front with Nunez and Carvalho and sometimes Elliot on the flanks..yet Robertson and Trent are still doing the crossing... The reason why we have more wingers that score these days is because of the system that allow them cut into the box more often rather than hugging the touchline...

When you see Nunez who is a forward player on the flanks then know that 4-4-2 is the fake formation or public formation while the main formation is 4-3-3..

The reason you see more wingers score is because the position is now called left wing forward and right wing forward they are all forward players and they should position themselves in the box to score a cross or pass if they are not the ones crossing or passing.

Football is about exploiting spaces on the pitch and wingers ensure there are always players on the wing waiting to attack the space.

Danielnino00:
What I wrote there wasn't from my thinking..it is an analysis of how the modern game is . You can prove me wrong... How many top wingers in today's game are still playing crosses? How many top teams still use that style? In fact, how many wingers still play the traditional style of wingers hugging the touchline? Name some of them for me...

football is football nothing like modern game... In a counter attack it's mostly the striker or wingers that run with the ball forward and they are the ones that will play the crosses into the box..

Every top team uses that style.. its either the winger plays a cross or passes into the box or cuts into the box then shoots or passes.... the wings are very useful when it comes to chance creation...

Brazil vs Ghana match, most of the goals Ghana conceded were from crosses into the box, Vinicius Junior and Raphinha were playing crosses into box...

2 of Osimhen's goals for his hat-trick were from crosses into the box one from the winger Kvara and other from the Right Fullback..

Danielnino00:
Wingers in this age and time have moved pass the era of crossing...that's the job of fullbacks.. Why? Because you need a mobile forward line that can flow together... Play Onuachu in a 4-3-3 with Salah and Mane as it was with Liverpool and he wouldf struggle cus they won't play no dammed cross to him...

This is very wrong especially when in most cases it's the wingers that will lead counter attacks and not the fullbacks.

It's thinking like yours that's one of the reasons Super Eagles didn't qualify for the world cup.

Crossing or low crossing or passing into box puts pressure on the opposition and keeps the ball in the opposition's half of the field as it can lead to corners and this reduces the amount of shots your GK will face...

typicalgamer:
Plain and simple we have no play style. If you bring in Paul and let’s play cross in and tap ins the wingers can’t cross a good ball even if their lives depends on it

Nigerian wingers doesn't start and end with Moses Simon, Ejuke and Chukwueze...

Aribo, Nathan Tella, Lookman, Bassey, Sanusi, Olayinka. Victor Boniface, Samuel Adegbenro can play LW

while Olayinka, Ola Aina, Tyrone Ebuehi, Iwobi, Yira Sor, Amoo, Lookman, Osimhen, Samuel Adegbenro

e.t.c

Donmobi:
How can someone all round play be soo poor, yet he's banging goals left, right and centre??

I think the undiluted truth is..
..Nigerians don't rate him because of his age.
Nothing can convince me that a guy with such numbers isn't still good. Damn!!

Nigerians rate him...

its Nigerian Coaches that don't rate him due to their low standards coaching ability..

DreamersVille24:
Now that your useless point has been bursted you've meandered to another angle telling me about the point is blablabla.

Your mind is already poisoned but you'll do best to refrain from spreading hate.

You have been warned.

It is impossible to spread hate towards people that already hate you and spread hate towards you...

I am not spreading hate, I am only spreading Yoruba self love and Yoruba nationalism...

the only people that see hate in indigenes practicing self love and self nationalism are people who are non-indigenes...

stop twisting the truth and getting angry at indigenes preaching self-love and nationalism..

If you don't like it then go and live in your ethnic federation and stop behind "I am Nigerian" tag..

you have also been warned..

DreamersVille24:
Colonel Ademoyega who was one of the key officers of the 1966 coup is Igbo too.

If you don't stop propagating hate you will meet your Waterloo in the next few months.

You're being watched now.

I'm propagating the truth.

Igbos are the ones who propagate hate..

The point is Igbos used their own hands to stop their own region and every other region from controlling their resources and indirectly cause all the unemployment in southern Nigeria.

You're also being watched now..

Villa12:
it's quite simple

IGBOS are pained that Yorubas didn't support them during the civil war which resulted to their loss

Ever since then nothing good Yoruba can do that the igbos will acknowledge

Btw, igbos hate the fulanis/Hausa much more than they hates the Yorubas

This is the reason why igbos will hardly rule Nigeria nothing more or less

IGBOS had been nurturing victimhood mentality since time immemorial. They even blame late queen eliza for their misfortunes and woes in life

Their hatred towards Buhari isn't strange as everyone knows igbos and the fulanis/Hausa are day and night

Same hatred they portray towards Tinubu

Let's see how it goes at the end

You're very mis-informed..

It was the envy and jealousy of the success of the Yoruba region that made the Igbo leaders think of violently taking over Nigeria.

so there is no way Yorubas would have supported Igbo during the war because the war itself was targeted at the Yoruba region.. will you support people that want to kill you and your family

in the 1960s , Nzeogwu exhibited such hatred towards Yorubas.

below ( gotten from wi:ki

"According to a Nigerian Police Special Branch Report, Nzeogwu executed at least 4 army and police security personnel including one of the men on his team (Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke). Nzeogwu also participated in the execution of Col. Raph Shodeinde, his superior officer at the Nigerian Military Training College and is reported to have shot indiscriminately at fleeing women and children.."..

the statement above shows pure hatred for Yorubas and a lot of igbos all have this similar behavior towards Yorubas.

AkinDS:
Let me get this straight...
In spite of all the amount of talent coming out of Canada now, a 15 yr old girl of Nigerian descent is deemed good enough to be invited to the Canadian Snr women's team, yet you are talking about Flamingos?
I mean, seriously

The attitude of Nigerians towards young people is to treat them like they're 10 years old and younger...

LawMan44:



What a passage?

What a loss?

Why are you emailing me

Amedino99:
you are right about the annoying part especially on Simon. Simon plays on a single mode which is playing on a particular style till people begin to swear on him. When he is on a dribbling mode he dribbles so much that he forgets his assignment on the field and when he decides to stop dribbling he plays like those kick and rush English bred players used to play before foreign coaches started coming to england. It even seems almost all our wingers have a consistency problem. Chukwueze, Kalu, Simon, ejike and onyekuru. These one's problems is knowing when not to dribbles. Alhaji Musa's problem is mostly running ahead of the ball. God knows what kind of player he would have been if he had salah's type of control. Dennis is really that much a regular in the gwg and lookman looks decent. maybe it would be better if we move ahead from this wing based type of football. It's sad watching the team struggle when the opposition shuts down our wings. Hopefully pj will start something of that sort before he leaves

the opposition never shuts down our wings.. it is Simon and Chukwueze that holds on to ball for long that was shut down, all Simon and Chukwueze has to do is pass to another player or cross the ball into the box or do a one-two with another player.

daveP:
You've said it well.

Right now, one aspect of Falcons game dey fear me. And that is the defense and midfield cohesion. Long balls won't help us at this mundial. If they can't formulate a way to transit using each other, na big Shege dey load. We may have good legs in both sections, but if a system is not in place, alongside the discipline and the tact.....

If onyenezide, Debbie Abiodun and some other midfielders from the U20 set are picked then long balls would be minimal but are also important because they can concede goals if they don't clear the ball which is one of the reasons the U17 reached the semi-finals. Folorunsho was just clearing any ball that landed in the box or kicked it out for throwing..

daveP:
Pushing and encouraging coaching license courses abroad till it becomes the norm. We need it on CVs. Then style of play again. We had none in this competition.

Style of play, positioning, passing and the time to start making substitutions, passing in the opponents half of the field e.t.c are what they should be working on..

Oliseh has foreign coaching license and he made the Super Eagles worse and caused problems amongst the players.

lovewins:
Except there's a paradigm shift (which isn't likely to happen), I won't suggest Olowookere as a coach for any of the age grade teams. He obviously achieved what no one else has at the u-17 level and deserves the Kudos, but he isn't the best fit for young girls in my opinion.

The constant shouting and barking of his displeasure vis a vis instructions at players was a sorry sight. It ultimately isn't good for a players psyche. At some points in today's match, he was literally shouting at the players to pack the box while Germany was about to take a free kick, Omilana however was shouting at the top of her lungs for them to push out instead, confusion set in as the players weren't sure whose instructions to follow. We were lucky not to concede at that point.

Notice the disposition of the German coach all through the game, she was giving instructions where necessary and you could hardly hear her voice, she was encouraging and clapping from the sidelines even when they were 3 goals down. The German girls didn't express any form of pressure at all. We need someone in that mold for young teenagers.

because he didn't teach and train them how to keep possession and stay in triangle positions..

He had good set of players but he couldn't make them better and boost their confidence on the ball and off the ball...

At least his has won something and can improve himself if he wants to...

hismail1:
Germany second goal was a clear offside, don't know how VAR missed that.

It wasn't offside..

one of the Nigerian central defenders was deeper than the other Nigerian defender thereby playing the German player on while the another German player was offside..

the German player that touched the ball wasn't offside.

Deltamani:
My Comparison is based on their U17 performance…

Omilana is still below Nnadozie at their level, even Onyinyechi Okeke did better but hasn’t lived up to expectations

Omilana and Ujiakwu took them to 3rd place..

Nnadozie didn't get to semi-finals

Omilana is better

End of story...

labas370:
That's why he needs a refresher's course. Even CEO of top companies go for refresher's courses. Learning doesn't have a cap. You keep on learning and then trying out what you learnt with some modifications. He tried. We lost to colombia because the game plan for that day nearly paid off but was totally a bad game. MOU does that too.

I have a writeup i was writing after the U-20 tournament for our Nigerian female teams and i kind of abandoned it due to work. I think I will finish it up in coming days and post it here too. It will cover a lot of areas.

We drew against Colombia...

we didn't lose..

If Edafe had scored or the other GK had at least dive and catch something..

We would have been in the final...

A coach that does not know how to tell his players to keep possession and also change formation to an "Athletico de Madrid" type of defensive formation is an okay coach..

we need an excellent coach.. hopefully he improves himself and becomes better and excellent..

Deltamani:
Her height is very very okay for a Goalkeeper…. If you complain about her height what will you say about Alaba Jonathan, Tochukwu Oluehi??

If she was taller she would have caught more penalties..

that's what I mean

Deltamani:
Stop the insults, Please
Omilana is good but not up to Nnadozie at this level..

Did you watch Chiamaka Nnadozie at the U17 level at all?

At U20 Chiamaka was already a dependable goalkeeper, her major problem then was her Goalkicks..

this is U17

wait until U20 before you compare both of them

mostob:
ok bro
I mentioned those two because they were jittery during the last shootout

they weren't jittery today

even Omilana was diving better than the other Goalkeeper Ujiakwu
