Danielnino00: Option 2 makes more sense... Since both Alozie and Payne can function better as full backs... Ajibade drops to the midfield with Ayinde and Uchiebe... Problem is who partners Onumonu up front? I'd go with Kanu cus of her pace and trickery, but I don't think she and Onumonu know how to play together..They didn't gel well in the game against Burundi..But they really compliment each other IMO.... Ordega can come in the second half...
If you watched the match against Burundi you'll never ever say Ajibade should be moved to midfield..
Tobbsapps: Can someone please share tips on how much to get brandable names approved on squadhelp . Been posting for 4 months with no single approval. Thank you
if you're interested in brandable domains read beckplanet brandable tutorial on the "What To Do To Make Money Online?" thread on page 659 his name is the first on that page.
then start writing down your own list of first words and second words in domain names... for example, face:book//king has "face" as its first word then "book" as its second word..
create a notepad file ( or jotter e.t.c ) for your list of first words and create another file for your list of second words..
daveP: Make Oparanozie come back abeg. That energy and quick decision she brings is lacking in attack. I see tame shots and it irks me. Saw that France Women Euros match? My my!!
I pray for synergy sha. And maybe a better coach. Cos Waldrum no be am. Omagbemi no deserve that let go. I hope she too is upgrading as well. She's really dedicated.
If you watched Oparanozie at the 2019 world cup you'll never ever ask for her to be called up and the way the SF play by hitting long balls over defense then a slow striker like Oparanozie will be a minus...
After Oshoala got injured in the world cup, she couldn't carry the team... now in 2022, there's Uchenna Kanu, Onumonu, Ordega, Ajibade, Vivian Ikechukwu, Macleans, Gift Monday, Flourish Sebastian e.t.c who can all carry the team if the main striker is injured..
3 years ago, SF would have struggled to score without Oshoala..
zuchyblink: Super performance from Ajibade. Onumonu is not living up to expectations,her lack of pace is a problem. Randy should be bold enough to start Gift Monday. The fast and talented trio of Kanu,Monday and Ajibade will be menacing for opponents. Payne sisters are proving to be a pain in the neck for the opponents.
Gift Monday holds on to the ball for too long when she learns how to not be "over-dribbling" and just play football then she can be starting..
for now it must be Ordega as LW, Onumonu or Kanu as ST , Ajibade as RW..
lovewins: Just confirmed on Google. Chikwelu isn't starting. She's a sub though.
Just like I rightly predicted.
Good lineup in my opinion. Would have loved to see Ayinde though.
Keeping Alozie off is smart too.
Ajibade is an LW not RW and she's left footed so if she wants to cross from the RW she has to use her left foot... her right foot crosses were terrible and she has to prove me wrong..
JohnBullMySon: You don't get the point. First lemme just say I don't like people who react too quickly, are impatient or I feel are too sentimental. Secondly I'm generally not quick to blame coaches no matter who it is because the job itself is dicey and you can make wrong decisions not because you're poor. That's just the volatile nature of football. You can choose to field a player who has performed well in training only to be disappointed on the pitch. You cant control the actions of players -directly- and you can't judge a player based on a single poor game. So saying a coach makes poor selections based on one or two games is plain silly.
The most rational way to judge a coach's performance is one; how appropriate are his substitutions? Two; how tactically diverse is he? Randy's substitutions were on point yesterday. He isn't a god to know who will perform poorly on the pitch after a good training showing.
JohnBullMySon: The people that Randy was referring to are the group of media personalities either writing for tabloids or on Twitter. They talk too much and complain a lot. If the Coach wins, they'll say it is normal. But wait till he loses or doesn't satisfy their ego with goals, all hell will be let loose. They'll say they're criticizing. Look at what they call criticism. Emotionally laden complaints devoid of any iota of objectivity. If Eguavoen had qualified us for World Cup, they'll say its nothing much, after all, we've been at the past three editions. But he lost and they tore him to shreds.
If that's not negative energy. I wonder what is. Randy called them negative, their egos are touched.
You're the one that doesn't get the point..
the group stage is only 3 matches so if fans , media e.t.c call out the coach and his crew and players after a disgraceful display in the first match it's the right thing to do because losing the 2nd match will be disastrous and shameful going by Super Falcons standards.
COOL10: What is wrong with Waldrum? Dropping one of our best defenders? Is he maad?
is it Waldrum's choice
that should be your first question..
Amaju Pinnick and Sunday Dare are destroying sports in Nigeria with their senseless egos , pride and fo:olishness...
don't blame Waldrum...
Same thing happens in men's football... Younger and more performing players are dropped or are called up due to media pressure and benched through out...
Deltamani: Nawa oooo See the South Africa wha win Nigeria na da miss up and down anyhow 4 here so…
Coach Randy should just get his lineup right we’re good to go! Cause with the Caliber of players we have we shouldn’t be losing a game in this tournament…
the Caliber of players we have are past their prime and very slow especially the defenders, any team with pacy and younger players and attackers will beat the Super Falcons due to the slow defenders....
mostob: Who would you rather play as the CBs then since you don't want Ohale and Ebi? I want you to note that a bad Midfield can pile pressure on the defenders. I'll go with Ebi and Ashleigh partnership. I don't know what's wrong with Ohale...
If they play then Falcons will not qualify for the knockout phase.
mostob: I watched their match yesterday... Botswana are fast, energetic and pacy. But I believe we have the right quality to punish their defence. It's all on the coach now. See what starting chikwelu ahead of Otu and Ucheibe caused us.
If any of onome ebi, oluehi, ohale , chikwelu and oshoala start against Botswana then Botswana will beat the Falcons thoroughly.
From the game against South Africa it's obvious Super Falcons have no right quality to punish any defence at this WAFCON.
mostob: Ajibade played well yesterday but she overhit her through balls more than 3 or 4 times and her crosses was just so...awful But on the positive side, she is a great ball carrier. If 2 out of her overhit passes was on point yesterday, we'd have created something.
Ajibade didn't overhit her through balls the player she was passing to didn't have the pace to get to the ball or just stopped running to get the through balls.
Her crossing was terrible she should stick to passing the ball into the box instead of crossing into the box.
mostob: I kinda agree with you. Correct me if I'm wrong but Ebi is unattached (without club) yet she was called up. Nigeria football will set it's foot on the path of greatness the day NFF stop interfering with player selection.
Not just stop interfering with player selection but also removing the "seniority mentality" and let younger and more mobile players get a chance..
semid4lyfe: Some old & senior players are in the way of younger, better and more talented players thereby ruining the team play.
Rita Chikwelu, Osinachi Ohale and Onome Ebi should have been retired and have no business in this team.
Rita in particular is a terrible player and shouldn't be anywhere near our squad. I have been shouting this for ages.
Anyway, na the yeye coach I blame.
No player is in the way of any player... Its the NFF that sends invitation letters to those players, Amaju Pinnick, NFF and sports ministry is to blame for their continuous invites... If you were 38 years old footballer knowing fully well you're past it and you need money and your national team sends an invite would you reject it based on the fact that there are younger and more agile players who deserve to be in the team
Bizibi: the problem is the governors but Lagos having 3 seaports will choke the living day out of it. Even if other south west states have it it will be better...... Nigeria depending on one state is not good at all.
Lagos having 3 seaports will decongest the other 2 seaports in Lagos.
If you own 5 houses and have 3 children , will the 5 houses choke the living day out of you or will it add to your wealth and assets All the 3 children will move out of the main house and can choose to stay in one of the other houses or rent anywhere else.
Joebie: I hope as he grows every area of his game will develop as well. Over 50% of U17 players usually go into oblivion. I am hoping he will be among those that make it.
Because they're allowed to go into Oblivion.
Pedri, gavi , Bellingham e.t.c all made their national team debuts before they reached 19 years old.
AndSunGorilla: Bet how did the Addo guy get his own job with Dortmund? It's hard for black players already not to talk of black africans. Besides Tigana and Vieira, I haven't seen too many black coaches at the top tier. We can't be that dumb now.
A:ddo was born there..
Euro:peans and every other ethnicity create and protect and keep job positions for their citizens especially jobs that consist of hundreds and millions of eu:ros. It has nothing to do with been dumb.
That's there own version of quota system and it's their country so they will give opportunities to their indigenes first before anyone.
You will never ever see many bla:ck coaches in top tier leagues.
nedekid: Your quote from wiki, does not in anyway show nzeogwu in any way targeted the Yoruba. According to the write up, he executed 4 security personnel in his team, 1 of them apparently was the Yoruba Sergeant. There is no evidence he targeted the officer because of his etnicity. Nzeogu also "participated" in the execution of the col. The issue is that killings took place, in military coup, such things happen. That does not generalize or says one tribe is essentially against the other. The fact nzeogwu being igbo killed someone does not summarize the attitude of millions of igbos. If I may ask, what reasons in your opinion do the igbos have to harbor hatred against the Yoruba and vice versa? As I said, in our younger days, we knew of no difference, my Yoruba friends spoke igbo and igbos spoke Yoruba. My best friends from primary to sec and uni till date are Yorubas. My father was the English to Yoruba interpreter in the church. I am married to a Yoruba princess. In my house presently my paddy that came from the UK is staying for the next 2 months. He is Yoruba. Where does this hatred come from?
It comes from something called superiority complex.
Which can be found in people who consider themselves supremacists.
In summary, It comes from " Ig:bo supremacists ".
You can read the below quote from another nairalander when you have time.
*THIS IS SIMPLY THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA*
Any historians in the house to vet this but no insults or character assassination please:
Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE Chief of Naval Staff was from SE IG of Police was from SE Chief of Defence Staff was from SE Internal Affairs Minister SE External Affairs Minister SE Education Minister South SE Many other key ministries to SE Parliament President SE Unilag VC from SE The University of Ibadan VC from SE North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth.
This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets.
There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.
*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi THEORY WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:
The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria.
In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914.
I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300.
This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country". Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation.
Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions.
He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future.
According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance.
But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria.
At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution.
While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too.
Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis).
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).
"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949).
As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate.
Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.
But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region.
But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region.
While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.
While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist.
A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.
When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts.
Here is how:
In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address.
But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard.
Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government.
However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.
On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.
Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.
The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers.
That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.
Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day.
In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.
In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes.
This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.
Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.
Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:
After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging.
Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.
Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.
First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.
Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference.
Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.
In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.
That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians.
On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise.
But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement. Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.
Anytime i hear or watch NNAMDI KANU talk i never take it serious but only as a noisemaker.
Thank God for this author. The Lord will bless him for us all! Everyone needs to know this for real. Knowing the truth sets free. We need healing as a Nation.
We need to face facts, admit the stupid errors of history and eventual forgive ourselves for the sins, enormous sins committed by our forefathers. Love covers a multitude of sins.
Very important history please read, understand and also share and encourage others to know.
nedekid: I don't think this is politicizing anything. The leasons have to be learnt, especially the issue of division, the kind of hatred you see between SE and SW. Especially on this forum. Look at the names of people killed, Igbos and Yorubas, the shooters did not discriminate. I am sure if there was a way to blame the igbos or Yoruba there for causing the shooting, it would have been done. This sudden division has become pronounced during the past 7 years. We that grew up in the 70s, 80s, 90 seriously never considered ethnicity, atleast not in the south. Now the hatred among the younger folks is just terrible!
Ethnicity has always been considered.
in the 1960s , Nzeogwu exhibited such behaviors 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 and this was in the 1960s..
Tinneh: Firstly I think pdp used the velodrome section of the section not the main pitch, the cause of that rot isn't the age grade teams but simply NPFL teams, I think either kano pillars or niger tornadoes use the stadium as their home ground....I read somewhere that Sunday dare has banned npfl teams from using the mko stadium indefinitely
NFF or sports ministry can partner with sports Turf companies or create their own academy like Leicester city did.
Danielnino00: Don't stress it.. That Abuja pitch has been overused... Our age grade teams played there several times.. Even PDP held their presidential primary there.. The problem is that in Nigeria and indeed Africa, we don't build the kind of pitch that would withstand pressure.. most stadiums in Africa are multipurpose... Give it a few months, that Abuja stadium pitch will be looking good again.. Come election campaign period, e go suffer..
the first issue with your comment is the fact that Nigeria has more than one stadium.
the second issue is the NFF knew that was where they wanted to use and didn't ask the Sports Ministry ban people from using or renting it for at least 1 week before match so that during that week the groundsmen/groundswomen can carry out maintenance on the pitch..
the third issue is even if it was used by age grade teams and PDP, immediately after they are done with it, the NFF should carry out maintenance on it...
God1stson: I'm Igbo but to an extent I agree with u. But the issue of business or land is not true. Business and land are very competitive in SE that not even half of easterners survive without going to other regions, that's why u c many Igbos in North and southwest. Not that they love going to other places but stiff competition and maybe no seaport may have forced some of them.
People leave their indigenous nations due to lack of opportunities or wanting to earn higher..
People have never left their nations because business and land are very competitive.
In fact, the more competitive business and land is, the more sudden increase in the amount of businesses in that nation.
Most Igb:os are economic migrants and migrants trying to pull themselves out of poverty. Most haus:as too and north:erners are the same like Igb:os, you are all economic migrants trying to pull yourselves out of poverty.
Innos:on is based in the East and hasn't migrated out of the East.
It is insane of me to compare a well to do inno:son to struggling and below middle class i:gb:os but it's a good example because middle class igbos won't leave the SE unless they make their money outside the SE.
oguns222: It is you igbos that first see yorubas as your enemies. This started especially when Jonathan was president.
You are the ones that sowed the seed of hatred.
It started long before Jonathan. It probably started in the 1960s or even before the 1960s.
But in the 1960s , Nzeogwu exhibited such behaviors 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..
BOOOMNAIJA: Our defence is d problem as it stands now.
Get rid of ekong....aina is too offensive...Ajayi is average and often times disgruntled/disjointed/unsure/inconfidient...
Then we are good.
Again I repeat, our defence will cost d team a lot if action is not taken now.
It is Aina's offensiveness that led to the 2nd goal..
Our problem is not defence.. Our problem is players refusing to cover for other players..
Chukwueze should be replaced with a DM or CM who will cover Aina's position when Aina goes offensive..
Aina's major fault is not kicking the ball to throwing when there's nobody to pass to or not clearing the ball when there's no one to pass to or not passing to another defender,
he loses the ball or makes a bad pass because his trying to make forward runs or forward passes...
