GistMedia0: In a recent interview, former Nigerian football star Yakubu Aiyegbeni has revealed that he continues to receive messages and criticisms from fans, years after his infamous miss during the 2010 FIFA World Cup match against South Korea.
The moment, etched into football history, occurred during Nigeria's crucial group stage game against South Korea. With the score tied at 2-2 and a spot in the knockout stages on the line, Aiyegbeni found himself with what seemed like an open goal opportunity. However, to the shock of fans worldwide, he missed the chance, leaving Nigeria unable to secure the much-needed victory.
Despite this moment happening over a decade ago, Aiyegbeni expressed his surprise at the ongoing messages he receives about the miss. "I still get messages from people, different messages," he stated in the interview. "It's surprising how that moment still sticks with people, even after all these years."
The striker, who had a successful career playing for clubs like Everton and Portsmouth in the English Premier League, admitted that the miss was a tough moment in his career. "Of course, it was a big moment, and I wish it had gone differently. But in football, you have highs and lows," he remarked.
Jewessgratitud3: See the new look of YABA that got everyone complaining bitterly including me. The last time I went to Yaba was three months ago when the new fly over bridge was still under construction only to get there yesterday and discovered it has been completed and the road on the rail line that leads to tejuoso has been blocked and fenced off so everyone has to go through the fly over bridge to access tejuoso market and the bridge is unnecessarily long and exhausting.
I was there yesterday but had to go again today because yesterday the complex I wanted to get stuff was shut and according to the traders the govt was coming for inspection.
The way they built the bridges are not convenient cos you'll climb two long lanes before you'll get to another long lanes descending to the other side. Lagosian were complaining as they climb and descend. On the other wing there are stairs. I used the stairs today thinking it would be better than the other walkway and nearly fainted.
Is this to add to Nigerians suffering or better their lives because someone who's already experiencing hunger can not climb that bridge o.
I swear buhari and his cabals will not have peace of mind. They spoil this country and some foolish people are blaming government that has not even reach 1 year.

santaclaws: Just witnessing this right now... All because of cheap rice that's not even enough to go round 😒
It is believed that people queuing to buy the N10k rice got frustrated when the queue was too much and some of them pulled down the gate of the Nigerian customs. Still, I don't believe this justifies tear-gassing people, some of which were nursing mothers who came with their infants.
Two people have allegedly lost their lives as per news circulating around the customs office.
They deserve to be treated like that, small opportunity given to you and you destroyed the gate. Foolish people.
DohFahSo: Isn't this you hailing your failure of a president? Please support your failure in peace and stop constituting a generational nuisance on my mentions. I don't have time for nincompoops.

DohFahSo: Oh, you're an APC supporter. Why was I wasting my time? You guys are known to be without wisdom.
Now I know you don't have sense, so me u telling to stop having negative thoughts against your country now makes me an Apc member. Na mumu u be. So na u lack wisdom not me.
banjicom: I was just asking him a question. All this Nairaland guys without sense will just be jumping into conclusions anyhow. Na you born me ni or you know my age?
For you people quoting me, I wrote the word "Wetin Dae happen for this country" because the number of people that are dead this week is Alarming, that which makes me to say such statement.
I read it that it happened in California, USA.
Go and ask US government about what happen and stop disturbing Nigeria.
The situation of the country is too bad that no one is safe. If Nigerian and her roads are safe wetyn concern man with Heli
Do they tell you Nigeria kill the man or Nigeria was the one who crash his helicopter or do they tell his helicopter crash in Nigeria. Try and be getting sense atimes.
