A combination of joel obi and Mickel would be dicey.

Ekong took a free kick.

NFF confirms it's a 4-4-1-1 formation.

MetalJigsaw:
Senegal 1- 1 Uzbekistan

Fulltime

ls this good or bad.

Icon4s:
But the lineup I saw here says otherwise.

That was a probable line up from Murphy l guess. The official line up is out already.
Maybe it's true that joel impressed in training.

Icon4s:
I know a lot will question why Onazi is starting ahead of Joel Obi.

Joel is more like a newbie in Rohr's lineup. Coaches typically start Newbies from the bench.

Joel is actually starting tonight.

Bolowolowo:
Is anyone watching the Senegal vs Uzbekistan match?? If this is how the Senegalese truly play, then I worry for them this upcoming mundial

They are not that great as a team, they just have good individual players.

#soareagles

This is a bold line up, and a good one too.

Hati13:
Ethiopia growth is primarily driven on one commodity, Coffee.

Don't mind him, this is the case with many countries except highly industrialised giants like China and Japan.

GERALD710:
That Nigerian growth was driven by high oil prices.Kenyan, Ethiopian ad Rwandan growth is not driven by one commodity, unlike Nigeria and Angola(which also had similar high growth rates to Nigeria during the same period). Our highest growth in the past decade(7% before rebasing, 9% after) was in 2007 and it was driven by finance, tourism and manufacturing.Not a single commodity

Nigeria ranks 27th worldwide and first in Africa in services' output.

Since undergoing severe distress in the mid-1990s, Nigeria's banking sector has witnessed significant growth over the last few years[when?] as new banks enter the financial market.

Private sector-led economic growth remains stymied by the high cost of doing business in Nigeria, including the need to duplicate essential infrastructure, the lack of effective due process, and nontransparent economic decision making, especially in government contracting. While corrupt practices are endemic, they are generally less flagrant than during military rule, and there are signs of improvement. Meanwhile, since 1999 the Nigerian Stock Exchange has enjoyed strong performance, although equity as a means to foster corporate growth is being more utilized by Nigeria's private sector.

l know Wikipedia is not always the best source, but this is the most concise data l can gather at this moment, the information is corroborated by other statistics.

My point is that from 2001, oil alone did not drive the growth, maybe in the military era of the eighties and nineties but not in this century.

Nigeria ranks sixth worldwide and first in Africa in farm output. The sector accounts for about 18% of GDP and almost one-third of employment. Nigeria has 19 million head of cattle, the largest in Africa.[29] Though Nigeria is no longer a major exporter, due to local consumer boom, it is still a major producer of many agricultural products, including: cocoa, groundnuts (peanuts), rubber, and palm oil. Cocoa production, mostly from obsolete varieties and overage trees has increased from around 180,000 tons annually to 350,000 tons.

Major agricultural products include cassava (tapioca), corn, cocoa, millet, palm oil, peanuts, rice, rubber, sorghum, and yams. In 2003, livestock production, in order of metric tonnage, featured eggs, milk, beef and veal, poultry, and pork, respectively. In the same year, the total fishing catch was 505.8 metric tons. Roundwood removals totaled slightly less than 70 million cubic meters, and sawnwood production was estimated at 2 million cubic meters. The agricultural sector suffers from extremely low productivity, reflecting reliance on antiquated methods. Agriculture has failed to keep pace with Nigeria's rapid population growth, so that the country, which once exported food, now imports a significant amount of food to sustain itself. However, efforts are being made towards making the country food sufficient again.

Overseas remittances Edit
A major source of foreign exchange earnings for Nigeria are remittances sent home by Nigerians living abroad.[32] In 2014, 17.5 million Nigerians lived in foreign countries, with the UK and the USA having more than 2 million Nigerians each.[32]

According to the International Organization for Migration, Nigeria witnessed a dramatic increase in remittances sent home from overseas Nigerians, going from USD 2.3 billion in 2004 to 17.9 billion in 2007, representing 6.7% of GDP. The United States accounts for the largest portion of official remittances, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Spain and France. On the African continent, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, Libya and South Africa are important source countries of remittance flows to Nigeria, while China is the biggest remittance-sending country.

DeadRat:
Good Advice? Hahahahahahahaha. Mr. Man she Is Your Friend so Be Frank With Yourself. You Were Rude To Her. Why The Hell Would You Be Walking With Someone and Just Leave Like That Without informin her. You Acted Like You Were Jealous... You Should Apologise Abeg, get Down Your High Horse

Why did she leave first without informing him?

soetanoreoluwa:
Just hope the fans won't turn their back incase we loss today even though I don't see us losing

l really want this team to do well given the rising confidence in the team by Nigerians. l do not see much in their individual quality to make me the most optimistic but l believe as a team they can get it right.
The fans should know that this is in front of the Polish crowd, we'll do our best but anything can happen.

KingGBsky:
Is there a way they can change this topic to the progress of the African Nations.
Please we don't need this fight or debate on which country is better we need an attitude of how to better our respective African nations.
Thank you.

Cc:bacanista

Well the OP has refused to change the topic(probably because he is from the PDP party). What a degrading topic, an insult to Nigeria on a Nigerian forum.

GERALD710:
In essence Nigeria is oil dependent.
Kenya has since 2005 derived 90% of its income from TAXES.Taxes that come from every secotro in the country,be it Agriculture, services, manufacturing,tourism and mining.
Same to South Africa, TAXES bring more income than mining.
In essence Nigeria is oil dependent.That is why when oil prices crashed Nigeria went into a recession.We on the other hand continued to grow. iIn 2017 Nigeria grew 0.83% while Kenya grew 4.9%, which we saw as underperforming

Nigeria is oil dependent with low taxes, one of the lowest tax to GDP ratio in Africa, and still many sectors have their taxes unaccounted for, this is of course is very bad.
As for Kenya growing 4.3% this is not very good, because your economy is not that large, Kenya should be growing at a rate of at least 7% anually. Between 2009-2013 we were growing with 6% anually.

MetalJigsaw:
Simon is not a striker. Even Musa would never be deployed as a striker under Rohr

Onyekuru is also not a striker.

TayserMahiri:
Good point. Are you telling us your industries are more vulnerable than industries in smaller African countries? Like Rwanda?

My point is no matter how vulnerable, it can easily meet the demands of their market(A major part at least). For us, this is not easily the case. We need foreign competition, but we want strong indigenous companies too.
l'll prefer Africa gets a single currency for transaction first like ghadaffi suggested, with that we have nothing to fear.

chiscodedon:
I believe apart from the usual invitees that ain't in camp now due to injury or visa issue, the only addition this team need for world Cup is Onyekuru... That dude will give ighalo a run for his position

Onyekuru doesn't play in lghalo's position, maybe Simon Moses or Musa.

asha80:
I think on the average there was more bp issues with the 2000 clash than 2002 clash despite 2002 clash going into penalties..the 2000 clash was the one aghahowa equalized to make it 1-1 with like 2 mins to the end of the match..fadiga gave the Senegalese the lead in the first half...aghahowa scored again the extra time to make it 2-1

lol that time Senegal head don start to spark but we nor know, infact Africa didn't know, they were still underrated until the world cup gan gan.

TayserMahiri:
No way SA would fail to sign it. They'd have to be blind. They have nothing to fear because of their fearsome industrial strength.

lt's not like Nigeria has the most to fear though nor that she can't compete, but looking at the Nigerian population, there's a call to review the agreement carefully and to weigh it on the balance,see what we produce already that satisfies the Nigerian market and to what extent we would be willing to allow the foreign influx(even from African countries).
Nigeria is not totally against the bill, and would definitely sign, but with our population there must be careful planning.
This is not about becoming the most developed first as in the case of your comparison of Tanzania to Kenya, but about having more sustainable home industries that can stand the foreign influx and still satisfy a huge chunk of the Nigerian market. Nigeria may even sign the bill this second, maybe we should start with a single currency first and Nigeria would be the first to sign this bill, but if we can't meet the demands of our huge market and we allow this(without careful planning) it may affect us terribly.

254tobby:
Okay good,when was oil discovered in Nigeria?

1956 ( from the top of my head). But you should ask Google nah.

254tobby:
Okay but the oil thing was the main Nigerian economic propeller in the past occasion,right?

Yes because it's major foreign exchange, it determines the naira directly than other sectors and the naira to dollar also plays a major role in the gdp. Also because it's major income earner(90%) it affects Government revenue directly.
You can say it is the most developed sector of the Nigerian economy.

MetalJigsaw:
Oga, we beat Argentina, we don beat den be dat. What do you mean we should don't be deceived. Nigeria smashed Argentina, finito!!

What if they defeat ed us what would be your narrative?

Whether We're going to confront a different Argentina is another match and issue entirely

Yeah if they had defeated us, it would just be normal thing to everybody. No one would remember it's just a friendly.

254tobby:
Look at this pot calling the kettle black.

Do you know the meaning of GDP?
Were you taught economics in the relevant learning institutions or is it that your tutor misled you by default?
Don't raise some compromises here.

GDP is the total income production of all goods and services produced by citizens in a particular country irrespective of their nationalities.

So how does your services outside your country constitutes part of the Gross Domestic Product?
Those services which you guys remit to other countries forms part of the Gross National Product GNP,not GDP neither.
And as for the case of south Africa,its the only country that's truly and verifiably known to be the real giant of the continent,even the world knows that,you can dispute it with your own bitterness and salivate jealousy and also pluck some egoism to give yourselves many titles as possible,no one will be damn bothered.
Don't be a learned fool with your statement of model thinking of 'i know everything'.

l think he meant services from outside the country by Nigerians in diaspora remitted to Nigeria yearly.

254tobby:
GDP can't be used to quantify the development status of a nation,moreso almost 90% of the GDP that thrives from the oil sector where its poorly managed and there is high cases of graft.Real GDP thrives from a diversified economy like retail sector,manufacturing,agriculture just to mention but a few and Nigeria can't meet the standards of retail and manufacturing sectors that other countries such as south Africa and Kenya have attained.A country with a small GDP like Kenya and Rwanda are making good use of their economic income than Nigeria a country with huge GDP can't even account for how its being used,even a country like Kenya that you guys say its nothing to you has something by far to you peeps in most of the aspects...Nigeria the giant of Africa
South Africa is the real giant of Africa yet thet never have that ego status

90% of the GDP does not thrive from the oil sector, what you mean to say is that 90% of Governments' money and foreign exchange comes from the oil sector, so oil primarily affects the budget of Nigeria or becomes a beam balance for the economy as a whole. But this is a small matter and it's totally different from saying 90% of the GDP is from oil. Nigeria is even more diversified than Algeria and Angola ( when it comes to dependence on oil ) but unlike most countries,it is a largely informal economy. Services and Agriculture contribute about 25% each while oil contributes about 15% to GDP.

Jay254:
I do..

Your gdp does not translate to the life of majority of Nigerians on the ground... seems it's being held by very few sectors and people.

You've been asked what you understand by GDP, you think GDP is money held by some people?

sufferNsmiling:
In 2015 Nigeria owed $200b, no need for foreign loan. I am not a fool.

http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2016/04/nigeria-owed-200b-no-need-for-foreign-loan-falana/

My man did you even read your link? please read it again and stop embarrassing yourself.
Quote from your link where it says Nigeria owes $200BN. Falana was saying there's no need to take foreign loan anymore because NNPC owes the country $200bn.
No need to collect external loan when NNPC has $200bn belonging to the Nigerian people.

shervydman:
Lol, who told u or where did u see that Nigeria is owing $287b?

This thread sef, na different different thing person dey see.

l am also shocked. l think he pulled that one straight from his ass.

Asowari:
see Nigerian women u pet them too much they will say that u are weakling, u became strick wit dem,they will said that u are too controlling, wat do this women even want.but who gives a woman head wen she is on her flow

The guy na real mumu.

nelszx:
This has always been my problem with Onazi, quite decent a player but his over working creates spaces and his passes aren't always top notch

Well we can't just judge completely from the report yet, joel must have done a lot, but l don't think he alone turned everything around.

asha80:
hehehe this sounds like joel obi hype man writing this but if it happened the way he wrote it here then it is an interesting scenario

Yeah the report is centered on Joel Obi.
