Midfield issue thats why I was concerned about today's game, we focus on wings but any team that controls the midfield will starve us from our major attacking strength.

You're right.

PDPGuy:
Instead of passing to an open player, Edafe prefers to try to dribble out of a tight spot
Man, we have a long way to go in instilling basic footie intelligence in most of our players

It's not football intelligence they need it's football selflessness they need and not holding on to the ball for long.

lovewins:
Like it was so obvious.

We allowed them too much space.

We should have just played from the back. Leave Ajakaye and Bello up front. The US are deficient defensively and we would have taken advantage of that.

It was even more ridiculous cause it would take more time for us to rearrange defensively cause of the nature of the pitch.

Instead we would sometimes have just 2 players at the back. Let's hope for a better second half

Ajakaye is looking tired already... and we are not creating chances like the previous matches... hopefully they score because its looking as if we won't score from open play... I hope they prove me wrong...

According to u Whatever black South Africans have suffered is outside their continent so they deserve injustice?

we are talking about black americans and now you want to switch to South Africans...

Black South Africans were and are not the aggressors and unfortunately they couldn't overpower their aggressors probably due to traitors amongst them and they resorted to protests and got their lives back and independence...

Igbos were already independent and president of the country but killed the leaders and civilians of other tribes and that led to war..

don't compare Igbos and other black nations...

Igbos were the aggressors...

I have said it before... Nigerian coaches don't know how to "pack the bus"...

and from what I'm seeing its because they don't know how to use and play to formations... Its as if they just told them to go and play football...

sometimes only 1 defender at the back or 2 defenders..

when we were leading we should have changed to a back 5 or 5 defenders I mean central defenders or at worst 4 defenders some midfielders should have dropped to defense..

Coldie:
U and I know there’s some lies in what u say

my point is the whole of NIgeria is not indigenous to Igbos... Igbos have their own region, resources e.t.c.... All the resources in the U:S are controlled by the government which is mostly whyt:e people..

whatever Igbos have suffered in Nigeria is mostly outside their region and they are and were the aggressors...

Apart from david Cameron who spent six years being the prime minister, the last three(Theresa may, boris johnson and now Liz truss) has barely spent close to three years of there reign.

How difficult it is to rule the uk: there already have everything working for them, a system that cub corruption, world class road and unique health care system.

she is not the King's choice... end of story...

PDPGuy:
Wow!

stop spreading fake news...

do you know what $200m is in the current global economic situation

no organisation especially FIFA can invest such in a single country..

HarlequinLekex:
There are not educated they only went to school.Can these students even administer a CPR?

They have primary and secondary school certificates so they are educated..

my point is they should use their education and intelligence to at least be able to get bed stands and fan and make it comfortable for themselves.

HarlequinLekex:
taste? This type of hostel is not fit for the students.Education is not only carrying books in one room.A hostel must be initially good and set up to standard before the students furnish it if they wish

Since they are educated then they should use their education to uplift that empty space..

A hostel is a place where you lodge.. it's not compulsory they use the place or lodge there. They can rent an apartment.

Lead City University isn't strict about staying in hostel.

HarlequinLekex:
That place is not befitting to practice the profession na

It's a hostel I don't know what the hospital looks like... I don't know if the N200k includes accommodation fees

It's open space and they are adults and they should be able to furnish it to their taste..

Natbrowny:
Is a this a Private University

I shake my head, my head no gree shake

TF is dis

That's Abeokuta where the nursing students are meant to practice so that they can graduate..

Other students do I.T or SIWES in companies.

It is not the University campus in Ibadan.

Lead City should have let them rent apartment and not collect hostel fees.. this is in Abeokuta not Lead City Campus

Babinski:
It is really annoying when revisionist historians try to underplay the contributions of the good, accommodating and illustrious nature of the Yoruba people to the success of the Lagos we all know now.

For those who try to claim that the Igbos or the FCT status of Lagos is largely what made Lagos what it is today, you need to study the Lagos history for better understanding.

Lagos was forcefully under threat of violence, made a British colony on 5 March 1862. By 1872, Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center and between 1890 and 1897 it had established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland.

Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles. The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil. The black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba. By 1872, the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin. In 1876, imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. This is more than 30 years begore the amalgamation that became Nigeria.

By contrast the revenue from the Southern Protectorate which covered Oil Rivers area in present day Nigeria, the Aro Confederacy, Kingdoms of Benin and Bonny and Akwa Akpa (modern Calabar) and Oron Nation by 1900 was £535,902. Revenue from Northern protectorate was even worse a d it is clear the amalgamation was done to fund the poor Northern protectorate from the prosperous South, from which the Lagos Colony clearly stood out.

While Lagos has the fortune of being along the coast, that distinction is not limited to Lagos within Nigeria. But the accommodating and illustrious nature of its Yoruba people contributed largely to what it has become. The ease of doing business in Lagos, the non-discrimination and welcoming attitude of the Yoruba people cannot be overlooked or over
emphasized.

hundreds of years before the british invasion of Lagos It was already a cosmopolitan trading center...

It was where other African ethnic nations came to trade with the Yorubas and it was called farm ( oko ) by Yorubas but it was also heavily guarded so it was also called a war camp ( Eko )..

which is also one of the reasons the british brought slaves from Brazil, Cuba, Siera leone e.t.c. when they got control of a portion of one of the Islands because they couldn't capture the Yorubas there since they were at war with the Yorubas and Benin Republic did not exist then so they were also fighting Yorubas from present day Benin Republic..

the "revisionist historians" will never ever give credit to the Yorubas.. so keep correcting them without getting annoyed.. from the likes of Abike Dabiri, Remi Tinubu e.t.c.. Yoruba elites and business owners are taking note of them and that's one of the reasons there's high unemployment rate of non-yorubas in the SW because it is not wise to hire people who hate you unfortunately they start saying there's unemployment in Nigeria when the truth is there's unemployment of non-indigenes in the SW..

the only thing that's helping them is they also have their own states and senators and business people so those people can create opportunities for them in businesses they own in Lagos..

what they fail to also understand is Yorubas also have at least 6 states and these Yoruba states also have Yoruba senators and Yoruba business people who also have businesses in Lagos which ensures that non-yorubas can never ever have more investments than Yorubas in the SW especially Lagos and also the generational wealth of the Yorubas from 1800s till date is un-matched.. Don't forget Yorubas in the diaspora who also send money back and have been sending money since the 1900s when there was no university in Nigeria..

In summary,
most non-Yorubas in the SW are going to be reduced to doing menial jobs and other low paying jobs that's if they are not already doing such jobs... especially the ones whose rich people or politicians don't have businesses in the SW.

U guys are supporting pure evil. In this world all men are born equal, what she said a white can’t even say it to an European that’s white as them, racism must not be white upon black, racism can be black on black.

The comment abike made is similar to a white Womam, who is appointed by Joe Biden, who a Black troll insulted on social media, so she decides to say. He should be lucky he isn’t in jail, fro drugs and gangs crime. That no wonder they are on death row in jails all over America.

Let a white government official tweet this on her official twitter handle to a black person, she won’t just resign and apologise Black Lives Matter would rain down.

But in Africa they would be telling u it’s your fault y did u provoke her.

Black Americans have been maltreated in the U:S for over 400 years and have been victims of racial killings..

Igbos have never been maltreated in their region and have never been victims of tribal killings in their region.

If Igbos are been maltreated then they have their region to run to.. Black Americans have no region to run to..

don't compare black Americans with Igbos..

Why is no one talking about the idiot who started it?

Because the people complaining of her response are people that share the same ethnicity and tribe with the abuser..

I am telling you something that will benefit in you in life and you are playing ethnic and political games. What have I with Onyema? As if all of them beginning from Buhari are doing their work. I'm telling you that as a public figure you should control your emotion otherwise it embarrass you.

No..

you're telling me to allow bullies have power over me..

anungangampu:
She insulted her country folks in a global page where other official's from other countries comes to read her profile. She is a minister and who she insulted might be a teenager or another slowpoke. Now she has exposed her bad side.

She is not a minister..

Geoffrey Onyeama is the minister of foreign affairs.. Tell him to do his job...

so a public figure should not defend herself against abuse

you and the people complaining about her response can't stomach it because you're also tribal bigots and the only people complaining of her response are people that share the same ethnicity and tribe with the abuser...

Simplythebest:
Can i ask u a question do u work in a bank or have someone that work in a bank. Have u see a bank staff insulting customer before even if the customer call the bank staff stupid names pls answer me

Banks have security, Police e.t.c if a person acts unruly in a bank that person can be arrested..

Twitter is not a bank so don't compare both.

Just agree she Bleep up and move on. She did Bleep up

She didn't bleep up.. she did the right thing.

Is it not stupidity? How is calling him/her Ode an act of self defense? There is a legitimate place for such and it's the court of competent jurisdiction. She is a public figure. I am happy that all the Yorubas I have encountered are reasoning like you. In this 21st century, you think that calling him ode is an act of self defense.

It is a verbal abuse.. she defended herself verbally by responding to the person.. it is verbal self defense...

Its also called an eye for an eye...

Nury Martinez was an elected member of Los Angeles city council and the former head. What it took her to resign was a racist comment, where she said a white member of the council that had a black son was with the blacks. She didn’t just resign she had to apologise.

But in Nigeria they would tell u it’s not Nury Martinez fault it’s the fault of the white man for having a black son when he is white, that what is he expecting.

Now u see why Nigeria is just going in cycles. What is the relationship between someone tagging her a mumu and she saying what the entire Nigerians in Indonesia are doing is drug trafficking and cultism?

Firstly, U:S is not Nigeria especially in terms of geography.. In U:S You can't say what the L.A woman said and not apologize because unlike the U:S:A where black people where enslaved all over the country, while Nigeria is a geographical location where different ethnic nations or tribes have their own indigenous lands and space so you can rightly say someone like Akered:olu who has an Igbo wife is working for the Igbos because Igbos are not indigenes of the SW.

In summary.
In the U:S, black americans are indigenes of the whole of the U:S so that makes what that L.A woman said extremely racist...

Whether he/she is educated or not, you are a public figure, a role model for crying out loud! Two wrongs don't make a right! Neglect the person, better block him /her if you can't stomach it. Every office has its own grace which should be honoured.

so a public figure should not defend herself against abuse

she could and can stomach it that's why she responded to the person...

No office has grace..

you are the one that can't stomach the fact that she defended herself...

you and the people complaining about her response can't stomach it because you're also tribal bigots and the only people complaining of her response are people that share the same ethnicity and tribe with the abuser...

Men, I am surprise at you! What is the difference then between a civil government worker and unknown person who may not be educated ? People like you should not near public service, every office has its own grace which should be honoured. Tell me the difference between this government official and an uneducated market woman?

Geoffrey Onyeama is the minister of foreign affairs and its his job Abike is doing...

the person can afford access to the internet, can form a sentence in engl:ish so the person she responded to is educated..

Call out minister of foreign affairs Geoffrey Onyeama for not doing his job and also call out Ezekwesili and yourself for not cautioning the person who called abused her..

Ckonnet:
She be pure tribal bigot with no sense of commitment.

Only a tribal bigot knows another tribal bigot... you're also a tribal bigot...

what is no sense of commitment

you called her a tribal bigot that means her sense of commitment is to her ethnicity...

same way Ezekwesili is also a tribal bigot for not calling the guy that abused her to order...

In Nigeria, most people's sense of commitment is to their ethnicity..

lovewins:
Lol. I'm surprised that hasn't been addressed by the coach. She consistently did this all through the group stage. She'll rather boot the ball to throw-in even when a pass will suffice.

hatakekakashi:
That Folorunsho is too shaky for a CB, she's giving Ekong vibes. She's always booting the ball for throw-in under little pressure even when the keeper's unmarked.

She's not shaky.

Let her keep clearing the ball that way .. if imuran was clearing the ball that way instead of passing then Falconets would have beaten Holland at the U20 tournament.

dijon:
My thoughts and opinions on the Esperance vs Plateau United Match.

1. Plateau United played gallantry but they lacked the technical skills in killing off a game.

2. Plateau United played against the crowd, lush wide playing field,and most importantly the centre referee.
3. We play our league football mostly on sub standard pitches (artificial and cow dung pitches) and these most importantly killed the technical skill aspect of our local based players.

3. We can not compete with the North Africans in club football, they are 30 years ahead of us...we caught up with them in the era of Bendel Insurance, Bcc lions of Gboko and Enyimba International but maladministration, poor pitches, incompetent coaches and win at all cost syndrome set our club and Association football 30 years backward.

Solution
1. Scrap all document and laws guiding our league.

2. Start all over again with genuine football stakeholders (not government hungry men running our present day football clubside and state associations) and use modern football laws and templates to develop the league.

3. Stay away from Africa football clubside competitions for 5 years

4. Mandate any club that wants to be part of the Association football to provide evidence that it can sustain itself without government fund and have a modern club house that will include all facilities to aid the development of players example Remo stars.

you don't stay away from a competition for 5 years that's foolishness because for those 5 years you won't play against them and assess their strengths and weaknesses while you believe you're growing your football during those 5 years the other teams are also growing their own football while playing in those competitions...

cheating is what made Plateau United lose the match not technical skill, the only other thing that made them lose the match is not scoring more than their opponents..

we can compete with any team... Nigerians just have to realize that north Africans cheat and won't play fairly and that other teams and some C.A.F officials don't want any Nigerian team to qualify..

In summary..
Nigerian teams need strikers that can finish and need to know how to play possession football..

Cantonese:
Sorry to tell you. You do not have an idea about these things. Please ask and read more. After that, analyse very well.

I do not like "my daddy told me that..."

no one told me anything its what I've studied... you guys just love been condescending towards other people..

Cantonese:
Grow up and stop this your "my papa tell me say...".

Nobody talked about tribes, but about Lagos and it's development. Our discussion centers on Tinubu's claim that Lagos was a jungle before his administration.

Igbos made your country's leadership fail? Igbos made your leadership fail to create jobs and establish industries? Igbos made your governments fail to provide electricity and security?

Wake up and be wise. Poor leadership, poor nation. Corrupt leadership, miserable nation. Crooked politicians, divided nation.

Ask me questions about how Lagos was before and after Tinubu.

Yorubas/Igbos/Fulanis/Hausas, etc did not ruin the nation. Politicians of every tribe teamed up to ruin the nation.

Nigeria was a far more peaceful and happy nation in the 1990s and before now.

Nigeria wasn't peaceful in the 90s... the violence wasn't reported the way its been reported today..

Lagos was a jungle can have many meanings and not that it was a forest and undeveloped....

Igbo leaders created a Unitary government ensured that the FG had control of security, electricity which are important for job creation and industry creation... so yes it's Igbos that started the ruin of the country...

Cantonese:
How old are you, my pickin?

Tinubu built Itire road? Sorry my son. Itire road existed ages ago in the history of Lagos. The palace of the Onitire has not changed in anyway. Infact the whole of Ijesha, traversing Itire to Mushin, have largely remained the same. Lawanson remains the same, except for the new buildings. Those filling stations in Lawanson have been there for more than 50 years. Nothing changed in Idi araba. All the roads were refurbished and keep getting refurbishments.

Ijaiye road was always there. He made the new road. Obasanjo resurfaced Idi iroko to Sango in 1999, making it necessary for the then new government of Tinubu to fix Ijaiye road. Tinubu surfaced Ikotun-Igando road, but within the area of Igando, Ambode surfaced them all making them beautiful and habitable. Ambode fixed the whole Ikola to Sango. Go and see then today. What about the Oshodi interchange? Na Tinubu do am sef?

On an IGR of N600m, Marwa gave a peaceful and prosperous. The exchange rate was N21.89 to the dollar. Today under your Tinubu and Buhari, it is N433 officially and N740 unofficially, a ruined economy and miserable citizens. Make your calculation and tell us the difference in real value.

Ask your daddy his income in the 70s. Ask him whether it is not true that his 130 naira a month or 400 naira a month did not pay all his bills and give him joy. You could buy Coke in Lagos for 6 kobo then. Ask Tinubu and Buhari what happened to our economy. Presently you buy a bottle of coke for N200. On the face value, that was the salary in the period mentioned by you. In real terms presently, that's a bottle of coke.

Tinubu supported a baba go slow to bring this nation to its knees. Now he claims emi lo kan, with a promise to continue Buhari's legacies. No be wahala be that?

what comment in summary means you can't compare 2022 and the 1990s...

Itire road was a terrible road filled with pot holes in the 90s.. most places in Ikeja that were not Alausa had very bad roads... service lanes on express roads were very bad, majority of inner streets had terrible roads and some are still terrible...

What happened to our economy

its not just Nigeria.. the global economy is affected...

Igbos happened to our economy... Igbos are the ones who import the most... when imports are more than exports it leads to a trade deficit..
