There's something positive I've noticed about the CHAN EAGLES and that is their good passing rate. I love their short passes. The only thing they lack which is very vital is that killer instinct to score goals. Hopefully they'll improve on that.

Any sex doll issue dey provoke gels...but why?

. It was expected. They've now realised that their importance is gradually dwindling just as they've disregarded our importance for years. They're now beginning to realise that they aren't as special as they make people to believe so they're now impulsive,trying all they can to keep us wallowing in the pits of lies we've been caged in all this time.

. Quite the contrary,I respect her boldness. She's the kind of girl I can roll with I.e one who knows what she wants and is straightforward not the confused and insecure lot that fill up our society.

Anyone watching Sky Sports? Osaze is on the show. He's looking very good

You know what would be funny?? Akpeyi performing better than everyone at the friendlies and then going om to have his usual psychological problems in the world cup

. God forbid,I repeat :IT CANNOT HAPPEN. Which kind imagination be that nah? And to think I've thought about this too. Abeg ooo

darkelf:
Bro...Seriously.

Not trying to impugn on your principles but favour over hardwork and merit.

The God I know doesn't work like that

. That's why it's called 'unmerited'. U don't need to work for it. Even if you do,u won't consider it as 'hardwork'. It might sound crazy but it happens. I think you need to know GOD better before you assume on what he can and can't do. There's a part of the bible where He said 'I'll have mercy on who I'll have mercy'( something like that). Let me ask you this:What did we ever have to do to deserve His undying and everlasting love for us even in our sinful ways? I'm pretty sure nothing. That's called Grace,it's called Favour or u can also call it 'unmerited'. U don't need to work for everything you want to get and even though that might sound odd and crazy. It's the truth. See as you don turn me to pastor,abeg oo make we switch back to soccer. Na SE thread we dey.

I've said it before that Ezenwa is favoured. Some thought it was a joke. GOD'S grace is upon him. That's the kind of favour I pray for everyday. Unmerited favour. The kind that makes people ask : What special thing did he even do to deserve this sef?. His only job now is to improve on his cross handling and to learn how to trust his defenders to make certain clearances.

EEGA:
Iwobi scores.

. I was about saying it remains Iwobi to score. Iheanacho and Moses already did. What a happy and joyful week. Although I haven't seen the goals yet,but my body just dey totori me. GOD bless Naija

Opee o o o!!!

. So happy right now. But Faleye isn't celebrating with them. He's injured

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FALEYE

Wetin Faleye dey play,abeg. See as him spoil that counter attack

TheSuperNerd:
This, right here, is part of the genesis of the problem of humanity. Because we all have an opinion is the reason why some individuals will still be spilling trash and dropping lies as comments for vulnerable people to drink in. We are here to propagate the truth about our national teams and not peddle lies. If any must criticise then he should do so with facts and do so by being holistic in thinking and not by being one eyed or blind. Having an opinion is no licence to run on lies and half-truths to pass across a message. This hating on Iheanacho has to stop.


And if anyone thinks everyone in life is out for your good when they criticise you, then such a one is yet to Starr living his life well enough. In the world, there is no way everyone's so-called criticism is a marker that they all wants you to be better. If everyone likes you, then there is a huge problem.

Not everyone here who speaks on Nacho actually thinks or believes Nacho is good enough. In fact, I know some who will pick an Okpotu over Iheanacho in the Eagles team if given a choice and they will defend it to the last pint of their blood. These are the people who represent mediocrity on this thread and such is not what I can bear again. Enough of the Iheanacho hate campaign and focus on talking real football. Can't they talk about something else for once?

. Word,bro. Word. As much as I dislike arguments of any kind,this is a necessary argument. They've disregarded the boy for too long all in the name of 'constructive criticism' and some unseen in-depth love and want for his success yet they keep tearing him down at every slight opportunity they get. Their hypocrisy is so glaring. And as for those parents who think that treating their children harshly and emotionally blackmailing them is the best way to ensure their success,well I have something to say to you: It might work(in fact it most likely will) but the consequences will definitely outweigh the success. Don't just be surprised and resort to labelling your children 'wicked' when they finally make it and start treating you like trash. It seems you don't know what that does to the psyche of a child? What goes around comes around,never forget that.

The Zambians look more likely to get to the finals.

. I'm not a big fan of Nasty C's lyrics but I so much love and respect his flow and versatility. And as for the comparison,have you listened to Boogey?

SpareNo1:
You're the only sensible person on this thread. Nigerians are too emotional. Casper said nothing but the truth. There's no rapper/hip hop artist in Nigeria right now. It's sad. 'Talk about it' is among the last set of hiphop album in nigeRia

. Dude,listen to Boogey

DrLikita12:

Don't worry TheSuperNerd, we appreciate your efforts

. I had to scroll down after every paragraph to see how much was remaining yet they kept looking bigger. But I enjoyed the post though.

Mujtahida:
If any man thinks he is wise let him become a fool for the wisdom of men is foolishness to God.

Your supposed wisdom that criticism is good is foolishness to me. And I can prove my word a thousand times that encouragement is a million times more beneficial than criticism.

I said encourage but your mind interpreted it as spoil, condone, pet. Naaa. Encouragement is never too much. Even your Bible in the book of Hebrews 3:13 says:But encourage one another every day, while it is called today...
Again In Hebrews 10:25 it says:but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching...

komekn says too much is not good. Bible says to encourage one another daily, all the more. Omo, make I follow Bible not komekn.

Seems you don't understand what encouragement means but let me illustrate what I mean by encouragement : Iheanacho, my boy, you have not been scoring goals anymore or playing well. Your body language shows nonchalance. What's the problem, why, what's happening (encouragement probes but criticism takes everything for granted because it is only concerned with results) I hope you know alot of people are looking up to you. I know you have it in you. Please work hard, work very hard and prove yourself to yourself, to your loved ones, to your nation.
This is the sort of thing good fathers and loving mothers do. But the foolish ones think they can criticize their children into success. I just dey laugh at their mumuness.

But unlike encouragement, criticism says Iheanacho you are not good, you are no good, you are no good, when he scores criticism says ohhh it's a weak team, when he scores against a strong team criticism twist and says ohh it was luck, when he scored one criticism says why did he not score two, ohhhhhh this, ohhhh that. Such criticism is a fraud. There's nothing more sneakily pernicious, more deadly than this kind of withering criticism.

I wanted to pose a test right here on this thread to illustrate human nature because we sometimes find it ever so easy to criticize Nacho because somehow he is an abstraction to us. We forget his humanity. I wanted to pose this simple test: if you know that in your personal life you do well when you are criticized, in fact you love being criticized click like, if you know you do well when you are encouraged then click share. But I refrained because it would have looked petty.

It's not for nothing that some shout hater, hatred here to some monikers in the face of their vitriolic, soul destroying criticisms. Criticism especially habitual criticism is really low grade hatred. If you love someone you will encourage them, you encourage them hard. Tough love. Have you seen Morgan Freeman's 'Lean on. Me'? Go and watch it if you have not so that you will understand what I mean by encouragement.

I repeat even flowers and plants generally (and it's documented) blossom and become more fruitful when they are encouraged and wilt or die when they pick up negative vibes for example if the flowers are being watered by an unhappy critical person.

(forgive me forumites for making my point using religious text) You are a Christian but you seem not to understand the power of the word. You seem not to understand what faith means, it seems you don't understand what it means when your Bible says your God calls the things that are not as though there were, you don't understand it when the Bible says God calls light out of darkness. He doesn't do it by saying there's darkness(failure), there's darkness (failure) there's darkness (failure) No ooooooo. He looks at darkness and sees light and( in true metaphysical sense it's not even the darkness he looks at but himself) and says I see light(success) I see light (success) I see light(success) and then he lets out: let they be light and surely light comes.

But when you see Iheanacho all you harp on is his failure. Even more shockingly in the face of his little success you still remind him of his failure and comfort yourself by saying he needs to be consistent, he isn't convincing yet. You don't know that by talking about failure continously you increase its vibration and perpetuate it, meanwhile you keep getting frustrated because it's success you want but failure is what you get because you are violating the law of the seed, the law of vibration, the law of the universe. I remember when I was a child, one time my father was always criticising me that I breaking the plates while washing them. Omo, na so I continue to break plates dey go ooo even though I tried hard not to but for where. He called me plate breaker and plate breaker I became. As an adult I now understand the psychology behind it: we a word controlled beings. He sewed the seed of breaking plates in my heart and because every seed produces after its kind, it produced an harvest of plate breaking. I tell you encourage, don't criticize but you say I am talking foolishness.

At the beginning of his ministry Jesus looked at Simon (Simon means Reed, a plant that waffles in the wave of the waters) in all his weakness, his waverings and inconsistencies and saw beyond those flaws. That's why he said you are Simon (weak) son of Jonah BUT you shall be called PETER (rock). But then Peter still didn't become Peter. He betrayed Jesus when threatened by a little girl. Yet that did not change Jesus' conviction. Hence at the end of his earthly Ministry immediately he resurrected he told the disciples to go tell Peter that he's risen and later on he reinstated Peter himself. That's encouragement, that's the investment of belief that pays off as success. God asked Jacob 'what is your name?' My name is Jacob' he replied. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So he named him Israel. Look deep and you will understand what is going on in the psychodrama between God and Jacob. Jacob is the name of his failure. God changed it.

Lastly you say my words are nonsensical and lack substance. No wahala. But I have noticed(and I trust others too have) however subtly that you have begun to temper your criticism with the salt of some little word of hope or at least some little positive word. My words as nonsensical and unsubstantiated as they are is percolating into you and causing some shift. It's not a victory for me. It's a victory for you my dear Sir komekn (how did you even come about this most oddest of monikers? )

.
I was about asking if u believed in the Law of attraction like i do but you obviously already did. Thanks for explaining the importance of encouragement and positive words.

TheSuperNerd:
I congratulated Funke. In fact, when some were trying to play down on its achievement at the time, I had to remind them that Avengers:Infinity war will be one of 2018's best and most profitable movies financially at the box office, so being part of a project like that even as a cameo background character is quite an attainment.

But now you speak of Nacho - Kayode.... please who castigated Kayode because of Nacho's performance yesterday? I think I only saw one moniker who did so.... Realpoacher. The guy is one that I know mentioned Kayode and to me, I was like... "not again "

But who else Elder Kog45 because I fear your accusation on guys who stand up for Nacho is totally misplaced.

Iheanacho is the most vilified and most castigated player on this thread and in NL as a whole. The boy is almost always being put down by a host of people who feel he can easily be replaced despite his good run of form and records for the Super Eagles.

And please don't forget where all this nacho-kayode comparison began. It began with Egbon Forgiveness... (Ehmmmm... Egbon Sir Forgiveness... abeg no vex... I just wan make point okay. Hope say u dey okay. I never see you for a while now sef.)

Now, Egbon Forgiveness started it as a way of showing all that Nacho can be replaced and by who? Well , he brought up Solanke and then later Kayode as better options upfront.

Now before this, There was no issues with anyone being tribalistic as regards showing support and love to one of Nigeria's Golden boys , Kelechi Iheanacho (take or leave it, you know he is one of Nigeria's most beloved players thus must also have the highest no. of critics).

But when Egbon Forgiveness brought up this issue and was always persistent with it as regards Nacho being trash upfront and brimimg up Kayode or solanke (way back then) as a better option, that was when people like me had to step in and try to balance things by saying that he should not rubbish Nacho just because he wants to make a case for Kayode or any other. That it is not fair and it is unhealthy.

Others got into the mix of the arguments too and as usual a mentality was formed for most. Someone even called Nacho useless as a no.9 (Sir Goldfish80 to be precise). Sir Goldfish80 also went on to make the bold prediction that Kayode will soon bang his first LA liga goal soon enough based on his attitude and dare. He said that as a way of saying Kayode will even get a league goal in Spain before Nacho. Look... guys, I don't forget things oooo... I watch and I take note.

Now because of all these... it is not surprising to see someone like Realpoacher always on Goldfish80's and Mickael2's cases... but I must use this opportunity to finally call him out. Omo Sir Realpoacher... Abeg. even if you must tackle or oppose their views, don't do it in a manner that defames their character biko. Those guys are valuable members of the thread and have been here long enough before you showed up. So please accord them that respect even if you must oppose okay. Thanks man.

Now back to the matter of tribalism.... elder kog 45.

It is not as if anyone wants Kayode to fail just to prove a point. Nope... because from all I have observed so far, na only Realpoacher call out Kayode and obviously becos Kayode is always being used by Egbon Forgiveness and the other Nacho critics to run down Nacho and make him look like a lost cause.


So this is the true angle. I do not support running down of any player to uplift another. Nooooooo.... but I pray that all desist from using a player to run down another. If you must castigate a player, then do so with care and love and not with pull down mentality.

Iheanacho, it is not his fault that he is well loved in Nigeria and as well have more critics. It is obvious... he is one of our golden boys. See the views this thread got just because Nacho was in action and reviews of his performance were coming left, right and centre... iwobi, moses, and even Ndidi have never garnered such views like Nacho on this thread. Only Mikel rivals Nacho for such views sef but Nacho still edges slightly.

You cannot accuse people who speak up for Nacho for tribalism becos from my observation, guys here who speak up for him and won't go down hard on him in a near destructive manner like The critics do cut across the length and breadth of Nigeria. All major tribes represented here have guys and laides who will speak up for Nacho. So the point of tribalism is absurd.

Like I said, there was never a debate on players comparison until Egbon Forgiveness brought that in. So when people speak up for Nacho, it is to counter what Forgiveness have said to rubbish Nacho and praise Kayode or Solanke. That is the gospel truth.
And it also leads to a psychological reaction to always praise Nacho's good moments in order to drown the earlier opinions of Nacho being trash and way below Kayode and Solanke.

Egbon Forgiveness started the comparison and players rubbishing. He started that and we all cannot deny it if we are truthful but then I feel he was just doing it in the way he understood. He may not change but I have learnt to avoid towing that line with him now coz I am focused on the bigger picture. But what I have outlined is the truth. Showing Love and support for Nacho is not a case of tribalism but rather a case of a psychological defensive reaction against repeated comments washing down Nacho and making Kayode and Solanke gods over him in terms of talent and potentials.

Biko... I know the tides here so I won't lie. Let us be careful and wish all our players well. But don't expect a handshake when you bash one of our best Players in the GWG in order to praise another GWG player who is still seen as a fringe player in the team. Kayode for now is a fringe player and one of our own. He is a very fine player but for the team's sake, he is behind Nacho in the pecking order. Bashing Nacho so that you can make a case for Kayode will only lead to people defending Nacho's relevance and pointing to Nacho's records for us and if you are not observant and careful, you will think it is tribalism.

I repeat, defending or being happy for Nacho is not tribalism. It is only because he has been much vilified and insulted here and overly castigated. Itz a simpu sturvs rily....

Oboy u dey try oo. Abeg,Na God I take beg u. No write this kind long thing again. My eyes been wan burst. Abeg

Why are most women so possessive, heartless and wicked? I know some could care less about this but the majority don't. U don't wanna give us what we want yet you're angry when we find alternatives. How inconsiderate and selfish can you be? Why would you be intimidated by a 'mere' sex doll yet u say u're not sex objects? And indeed that's what the dolls are,sex objects. Ur insecurities and hypocritical nature are getting more glaring by the day. Be busy carrying out your acts of feminism and ignoring your men while we keep on finding alternatives for everything you stand for. U think it can't happen and yes it will take time but it definitely can if we want it to. We already have alternatives for getting children and now we do for sex. It can only get better. Very soon,y'all will be the ones begging us to take you even if it means playing second fiddle to the dolls and cleaning them up. It's just the unsuspecting ladies I feel sad for. Now women better wise and be vigilant in treating your men like the kings they are and they'll treat you like the queens u're meant to be. I'm a big advocate for women's independence and doing what they love but not at the expense of them demeaning and disregarding men. Have some sense,will ya?

Finally,I hope Puel can now trust Iheanacho. Na so my guy for grab hat trick oo. P.S They just showed him gisting and laughing with Ndidi. Now that's good stuff to watch. God Bless Naija

Presently watching the match and I hate criticising other people's works but I'm almost certain that I'll easily get into this team despite the fact that I haven't played football in a long time. Failed short passes,unnecessary long passes and too much effort. I wouldn't even want to play against them because them fit break my leg and the match will still end 0:0. They remind me of the past Eagles who almost gave us heart attacks whenever they were on and off the ball and who still kept us afraid even when they were 3 goals up. The only reason I'll pick any of them for the world cup is gonna be to fire hot shots at the keeper. Apart from that,these guys ain't it. Maybe individually but definitely not as a team. Hopefully we'll win our next match. We could have won this but lacked proper finishing skills. God Bless Naija.

elyte89:
I doubt if dis chan team can beat our inter house sport
"BLUE HOUSE" team

. GUY,WHY??

tbaba1234:
Even with a good assist, Arsenal fans are still criticizing every touch of Iwobi.. Just ridiculous..

. Aren't there Nigerians on that page to defend him?

Who else is watching the match on NTA? Just look at the picture quality. It's pretty much the same since I was a little boy.

AlexCk:
Yes ooo,
Can't wait for WC oo, choi,
Onyekuru should recover on time oo, i think he's back at Everton to recover,
No mind musa jare, he needs to move, we need his pace really. Ndidi shaa, @21, and he's like this, imagine him in 3yrs time, if he keeps his form, he go be boss oo, i believe ndidi is as good as casemiro(...and yes i believe so )

Happy Sunday

. Ndidi will most definitely make a great name if he keeps this up and I believe he will. As for Casemiro I don't follow him much but I know say him get shot for leg. If Ndidi can get his long range shots on target,that guy will go places. Happy Sunday bro.

ubunja:
we must not waste time on such losers.dude is beyond hope.

. If only he knew certain things,he prolly might have had a chance to prevent all this. Unlike you though,I still think he has hope. He just needs to pick himself up(which isn't easy at all) and learn these things. What I wouldn't want is for him to carry them out with hatred but that's what's most likely to happen. And sincerely,I won't blame him.

AlexCk:
Lol, well, either iheanacho isnt impressing much in training, or sometimes else, u can't really fault Puel. Let's just hope he gets his chance.

Leave price tag o, slimani was bought for more, no be bench e dey, musa sef(i no understand am sef).

Im impressed with ndidi though, with the way he does his dmf role well, top clubs go dey eye am soon.

.
Hopefully he will. As for Ndidi,the guy just keeps improving everyday. I'm happy for him. Musa own ehn,the thing taya me. How will someone just go into oblivion like that. It's even him I'll advice to leave for another club because we need him for WC oo. Musa on his good day is very good cos we need his pace to terrify and distract defenders. U must have seen what he did against Argentina during the friendly nah,the dude still has it in him. We also need a fit Onyekuru. Them go feel us for WC I tell u.
