dayokanu: The argument on here was that Wankott has been arsenal most productive player in goals scored and assist provided.

Stats don't lie. Some fans would vote for Beckham Messi Ronaldo even if they are injured all season. Fan vote is a mere popularity contest. The stats are there to back up productive players.

Shebi someone on this forum thinks Torres is the best striker in the league for the past 3 seasons even when stats suggest otherwise

of course, stats don't lie.....
cazorla won 10 MOTM awards to walcott's 1. dayokanu, getting schooled by coogar since 1930.

Crayola1: Lol I rather be in a country with safety nets than one without.

then remain in the safety net country and leave nigeria alone. you have proven you have no clue anyways so what's the point?

Not everyone lives in the projects and on public assistance, but your concern about those things sounds like a cry for help? Does western union wire food stamps? Maybe you can barter them for your weekly ration of garri?

i am fully aware not everyone lives on public welfare but i am 110% sure you do. you have added nothing meaningful to this discussion asides hollow sound-bites!

Did I say it adds anything or detracts? But thanks for letting us know you are still bitter the consulate denied your visa

they did deny me & i am sad!
i have another interview next week, the 77th one if i may add, to get out of nigeria. however, it still doesn't alter the fact that you function on a single digit IQ!

dayokanu: When you catch up with 5 champions league titles let us know

are we still counting those trophies won against the champions of cyprus, romania and denmark?

dayokanu: Dayo is basking in a treble of trophies and doesn't have time for trophylessness.

a feat united achieved 14 years ago.....bayern will always play catch-up to united!

Crayola1: Yawn.

Your words don't hurt me because I don't care, but what I say must have quite the effect since you enjoy writing novels for me everytime I reply.

writing is my hobby
you can see how quickly and precise i get those lines out - its a very easy task so stop getting your knickers in a twist.

I was born and raised in the US life will go one if Nigeria continues to be the redheaded bastard of the world. So who the President is matters little to me, as long as you keep the oil pumping

born and raised in the US? wow!
what about us that have never travelled out of nigeria? life must be good for you which is why you don't care.

you have the brain capacity of a pubic louse!!!

Crayola1: And you've said it several times now. And we all said thats nice, now go play in traffic.

At this point we are all playing a game called humoring the monkey, where everyone pretends like your making a valid point.

go and play with your dog...
you have lost touch with reality. until you realise the foundations of the igbo political platform is shaky, you would never produce a president!

ngozievergreen: Obiagelli n coogar, shut up. U are not igbos.

says the girl from cameroon.....

Afam4eva: I think you need help. This will be my last reply to you on this topic because you have refused to use your head. I wonder the kind of school that some of you attended. You asked for names, i gave you names, you changed from names to the fact that they are women. Abeg talk better thing abeg.

do you think you have any leadership skill by hiding my post? you are hiding the truth because you feel you are more igbo than i am....

shame on you, afam!

Crayola1: Yawn.
You wrote all this to say nothing?

Must be sad to wake up everyday knowing you have nothing useful to contribute

it's not like you would expect a complete morön to understand the national budget. an illiterate wont understand calculus and i am sure you would never understand what i typed above..... go and lie down, your ohanezeness has beclouded your sense of critical reasoning.

Afam4eva: So, what if they''re women. Are women not qualified to be in elective position? Why are you jummping from pillar to post? Stick to the topic. You asked for names and i gave you and now it's about their gender.

so you really think a woman has a chance of ruling a complex country like nigeria? i asked you to list names that can rule nigeria and you are submitting the names of women - where's your IQ hiding?

Why don't you list names that are better qualified than these people that i have listed. It's not about winning primaries but about being qualified. We know how things are done in Nigeria. Stop pretending like you don't know.

i know nigeria like the back of my hand....
which of the names you listed has the quality of a nigerian president. if its about honesty and credibility then monks and reverend fathers should be competing....

dora and soludo do not have leadership qualities!

Afam4eva: Soludo, Okonjo Iwelaa,. Oby Ezekwesili, Dora Akunyili, Sullivan Chime etc. I'm sure you were expecting me to name Theo Orji, Arthur Nzeribe etc. Since 1999, Igbos have been one of the major factors shaping the economy. Most giant little strides we made in some parastatals were done by Igbos.

funny how 2 of the 4 names you mentioned are women. afam, admit it - there's a lack credible leaders amongst the ndigbos. these names won't even win the primaries, let alone general elections.

achi4u: This is wickedness at the highest level. May God keep you alive to witness IGBO PRESIDENCY.

add another 250 years....
the new generation of ndigbos like afam have done nothing to change the tide. the love of material wealth and the evil factions have stalled any igbo presidential ambition!

Clerverly: Quit that Man! When it comes to presidential "materials" No group beats the Igbos. The evidence is quite obvious. The topic of the thread is why do we pander to the centre? The centre is inclusive of Igbos too. So get that also

hubris!!!!
and out of this abundance of presidential candidates, how many presidents have you produced?

Crayola1: Cooger doesn't give 2 fu.c.ks if Igbo person becomes president otherwise he wouldn't have typed the nonsense he did?

Nigeria ranks high on the failed state index, corruption index, and every other negative index in existence. Who was leading the country then? The secret Igbo president?

this is laughable!
how have the igbos fared in leadership in their cocoon? okadigbo, uba, ngige, chukwumerije, etc.....would you trust your life with these lots?

Or the fact that the Swiss are still digging out money stashed away by Abacha, he must be one of the money hungry Igbo folks?

stop spitting hokum!
the igbos wouldn't have fared better in power. they have not exactly covered themselves in glory if you look inwards. a corrupt state governor would be a corrupt president.

Some folks believe that the past will forever define the future. Did some of you ever think all those Igbo folks who are in those high ranking positions would be there before?

why won't they be there? there must be more than 40 million igbos in nigeria - there's a high probability they would produce high ranking sons and daughters.

If its destined for an Igbo man or woman to become president Cooger and his ilk will just have to live with it. Ask the Republicans who still can't believe how a Barack Obama became Pres

their destiny has always been in their hands but they keep pissing it away at every corner. you are comparing nigeria with america(where the system works) if our political terrain bears any semblance with america then the law of average should have put at least one igbo leader in power, don't you think? keep waiting for the miracle of moses' rod splitting the red sea....hopefully, you would witness an igbo president when you clock 130 years.

Afam4eva: If Nigeria was a country where performance and democracy are one of it's tenets, i would have agreed with you. unfortunately, Nigeria is an animal farm.

performance? name one igbo politician worthy to be a president in the true standard of democracy?

Olaolufred: The igbos does not actually know how to articulate themselves and lobby the other ethnic nationalities to support them.
They will fight other ethnic nationalities for what happened in Mary slessor days. thereby chasing away their greatest ally.

there's no unity in igbo.....
i am sure the igbos have the most presidential candidates in the last election - the attempt to get a consensus presidential candidate failed woefully.

the igbo political platform is extremely factional - too many evil factions working against the collective interest of the ndigbos in general. a man like chris uba should be publicly executed by igbo youths....he's poison to the ndigbos!

Afam4eva: The Igbo model is the best model but in the Nigerian reality, it's not. We have to device a means to come together not necessarily by choosing a leader because no one will show him any atom of respect. We're egalitarian and republican in nature.

the igbo model that hasn't produced a leader in 52 years and counting...... you can't be serious!

Afam4eva: In Igboland, we don't choose leaders. Our style and definition of leadership is different. That what some of you have failed to understand.

that's exactly the problem!
if you can't choose a leader then how would the others see any leadership quality in any igbo politician? i call you afam because that's the name you call yourself. if the igbos can't see a leader amongst themselves then they are shooting themselves in the foot!

Clerverly: [b]The major problem we have in Igboland is that we pander so much to any Government in power whether this is out of sheer lack of political sophistication, cowardice or inability to
speak fairly with one voice or combination of the above, the political scientists are yet to unravel this. The log goes;
Shagari--------------Igbos voted massively
IBB------------------Cheiftancy Titles here and there!
1993 Elections------- Igbos supported IBB candidates.
Abacha----------------Strongest base was East.
Obasanjo--------------- Igbos supported him against our own Ekwueme
Yardua- ---------------won all the states in East
GEJ- -------------------Largest support base is in the East
I always laugh away people's ignorance when they claim, Igbo support Jonathan out of tribal or ethnic lines because had Yardua been alive today, he would have enjoyed the same massive support as Jonathan from the Igbo. We are too timid and crude when it comes to playing Nigerian politics, always not wanting to upset the apple cart. Until we do that for once, other regions will never respect and give us our deals when it comes to sharing the spoils. Let the fair minded Igbo Guys on this forum discuss this. Ka Chineke mezie okwu, Ka udo chia na'ala Igbo![/b]

the igbos suffer from a political identity crisis....
people still blaming the war are clueless - if the igbos choose one leader and support him massively, he would win.

however, this is mere fantasy. the love of money, cheap tribalism and lack of unity are a hindrance. i don't think there can ever be an igbo president - a woman would lead nigeria before someone from the eastern nigeria.

shymexx: Word!! You know the swag and style - ain't nothing like the London swag, donny.

You need to come out here to see what's popping this summer; freshness and flee-ness to the next level, bro.

We put the F in fashion, believe that.

a fact that escapes afam!

delors: Why? the episode has been out for 3 days now, whoever hasnt seen it yet probably aint following the film...besides, this isnt revealing nothing...just showing reactions...(to what nobody knows).

it aired yesterday in the UK and i missed it. can you people at least wait till tomorrow before you start telling us of your attempts at suicide because of a TV character that died?

[quote author=baby_123]You guys are still here. I think the points have been beaten to death.Nice arguments. Coogar and his never say die arguments. As for the zombie foLlowing me around, na heart attack get you. Spineless, opinionless non entity. [/quote]https://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3mw9eDcac1r6p48c.gif

jackbauersballs: This thread should have a SPOILER ALERT

Some of us are still a few episodes or seasons behind!

seun should close the thread....
nigerians can't just shut their mouths - stop spoiling it for others. the show doesn't air at the same time in every continent.

can all you book readers tape it shut?

a guy i play golf with started to talk about reading the books. i like him as a buddie but i broke his fücking neck. he's recovering in the hospital now.

he's screwed, he might never use his neck again. so don't open your goddamn mouths you illegitimate, disowned children of nairaland. you are spoiling it for me!!!

Ujujoan: Just passing by guys . . keep it up 'it'!

passing by n tugging at pataki's groin!
uju must be high on aphrodisiacs

Pataki: Coogar, give this girl her kondo so she can leave me alone abeg!

coogar ke?
uju fancies you! saw her in church on sunday and all her prayer points were for you.

adaobi has my vote!

braaaaaap! braaaaaaaaaaap!

pataki & uju yet again?
this love thing is serious -

debosky: A while back, some cats felt the inclination to argue unduly and claim to know more about Arsenal than Arsenal fans.

I said it then that Santi Cazorla would be the clear choice as player of the season, some kept harping on 'output' as if that was the only measure for assessing a player.

Anyway, that dispute is dead and buried as I predicted - Santi Cazorla is the Arsenal Player of the season, winning 42.2% more votes than any other player.

Take a bow son!

this news might kill dayo.....

Joanna Sedley: It is supposed to be the sister telling this story cos you can't just run away from your home like that. I think with the assumption flying around, it is safe for me to assume that the man is having an incestous relationship with the sister, you know living alone with her for 5yrs and then growing closer and closer and closer and..................... Got married and they continued; you know.
And then wife found out and leave without looking back for four month now. IMO oooooo.
Pleaseeeee keep off me especially cougar ooooooo.

jesus wept!

nolongtin: All south east londoners dat like to listen to juju music way back @ tasty resturant in woolich 2003/04/05 knew don jazzy was soleks keyboard player and d banj was with jjc and 419 squad.
A lot of nigerians made money frm dat flawed tax system,tho i cant confirm if d two whr part of it?but i will not dispute cus they lived n work whr d deal was rampant.thamesmead/woolich.
don jazzy was not rich when i knew him,he worked and depended on the money sprayed and money solek gave him.so if the guy says they made money frm reve as peeps call it ild not dispute.

they made about £1m from the fraud in 2005.
however, you have to give it to d'banj. he could have gone on a spending spree known to most yahoo-boys but he went to nigeria to lace his songs in a studio. he took don jazzy with him. don jazzy was a genius in beat-making. their combination became a success and the rest is history........

Afam4eva: This is a lie. How many British people even know Nigerian accent. I know a lot of them know it but you'd be exxagerating by saying they favour the Nigerian accent. It's really not a popular accent.

you are ignorant.....
how won't the brits know the nigerian accent? are you kidding me? the brits favour the welsh, scottish, cockney, spanish, italian, etc before the american accent!

Afam4eva: That's because it's a different accent from theirs. Apart from the American and British Accent there's really no other Accent ftom an English country that doesn't sound like any of the two with little variations. I'm sure a lot of British people too will favour the American accent. You can hear it in the youths of Britain.

bahahaha.....
british people favour american accent? they favour the nigerian accent more.....
