BascoVanVeli:
I meant can she be our next big export.

Yeah, but I'm saying Chiwendu lhezuo from the last u20 women world cup can fill in that void even before Rasheedat. The problem is the nff handling of women football.

PDPGuy:
It’s now five wins in a row for the Falconets in the 2018 qualifying series.
Rasheedat Ajibade has scored 8 goals so far, and is the joint highest goal scorer. She has also scored in every qualifying match.
And the Falconets have now outscored their opponents 17-2.

Nigeria drew 1-1 with Morocco though.

BascoVanVeli:
Is Rasheedat Ajibade our next Oshoala?

Maybe, but before Ajibade, l think there's still lhezuo.

Neo2011:
Where are you guys watching it?!!!!

I'm not watching, just checking it up from time to time on twitter.

it's now 2-0

israelmao:
I hope they were not part of the militia that carried out attacks in both Taraba and Benue.This same Cameroon shielded Boko Haram when GEJ was in power.Goose has come home to roast.

l know Chad shielded BokoHaram, dunno about Cameroon.

But wetin we do Ghana sef

gallivant:
Happy new year everyone. Wish Nigerians all the luck this year.

Same to you, Goodluck to kenya too.

bro I won't mind switching places with u cox u got it ryt when u said dey rap like d Americans cox dat is wat makes me really like em. God I wish I was south African.

But across the continent and even outside the continent, people are getting interested in Nigerian music and musicians (from my observation) because they do their thing.
Even when they imitate the Americans, they fuse it with the African vibe in a way together with the videos.
The mentality of the outsider is. .lf l want some hip hop or rap, why look to South African musicians, when l can always listen to Eminem and the Americans in general?
From my journey outside and my research, so many people are interested in African culture because they want to see/hear something different from what they know.

Marcsolo1:
We no know better thing na
Na why Nasty C, Sautisol Sol no fit too blow for this country
Imagine song like Isabella, Nigerians no too know am because no be club song.

Well it seems Nigerians just wanna dance though. l recently came across one of the best jams from Tiwa Savage(in my opinion) with a very artistic video and some good lyrics(never knew Tiwa savage was that brilliant). l learnt it was written and produced during her marriage crises, to me it's her best song.
Tiwa Savage....lf l start to talk.

Even with all these, it is perhaps one of the most ignored/underrated tracks ever from Tiwa Savage by Nigerians.

Ademoore07:
WTF

How dare u grade "Wo" over "All over"?

Melanin(Sauti Sol)
Mad Over You( Runtown)
fall (Davido).

dangoteinlaw:
oh yes very true, like phyno is more of eastern region coz I doubt anyone is feeling him around lag

Of course they are, fada fada especially.
But l would agree though, if Augment is there, then small doctor's penalty should be there.

dejavuh0007:
it still beat me how davido and wizkid win international awards when none of dem come close to d likes of their south African counterparts such as cassper nyovest, aka, tellaman, and d king of dem all Nasty C. when u compare davido and wizkid to these guys in terms of lyrical contents of their songs and music style den u would know Nigeria's music industry is lagging behind.

lt depends on the genre of music you are interested in, but l agree wizkid and Davido can do better with their lyrics, Davido especially.
l rate Kiss Daniel above both.
l believe the best artistes in Nigeria are not the most prominent, l also believe wizkid is more talented than what he dishes out to us. He isn't living up to his potential and hype yet.
Davido is a one way singer who sings mainly about wealth and women, he is not as versatile as Wizkid, but he knows how to transform even useless songs into hits.

dangoteinlaw:
Small doctor Shouldn't just be among top 10 it should be just below mad over you, then 9ice living things ..falz making top 30 list is an insiult

small doctor's song is more of a Lagos thing.

slowpoison1:
this list is useless without patoranking ft sauti Sol menalin...that song Na low key song of the year...I wish say na south african sing am...because Nigerians no dey appreciate good music

lt's for Kenya l think.

What about Away by Psquare?

But Davido take style try this year sha.
l think joromi by Simi was a bigger hit than some on that list, and Yeba(Kiss Daniel)is way too low on your list. Also Augment by Phyno should be higher than 28 in my opinion.

Haba, so wizkid last only 60 seconds? then l am okay with my 2 mins.

Danielnino00:
Are u intentionally trying to sound foolish?

Africans generally do not see the business side of the arts. it seems science is at the forefront of the narrative for development and rightly so, but the arts also play a part.
Nigerians have always been specially gifted in the arts..Story telling, drama, music, fashion and the fine arts is our thing! from the ancient Nok culture to lfe and Benin kingdoms. Even now, our only noble prize laurette is from literature, and Chinua Achebe's book is the most translated book from the black race in the world. We love stories, and so we have no problem writing hundreds of scripts for movies in a year(no matter the criticism or failures).

Seeing that we are generally more talented in the arts, l would say music and dancing is a great export and could truly bring development if Nigeria( many parts of Africa) can exploit the business aspect of it in this digital age.

By the way, l really love Sauti Sol's Melanin. To me that song and the video may likely win an award.
Also from what I've seen so far, l love the mad support and love the Kenyans show to musicians.

Well, all l can say is.. ln my life l have never seen a melanin so dark..So there's nothing wrong with this video to me.
Dope song, Dope video.

Wow so much love for Yemi Alade in Kenya. l never knew you guys love Yemi this much.

Boss, I keep saying it and this El clasico reinforces my belief that there should never have been a debate on who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. I mean Messi does everything Ronaldo does (goal scoring), everything Iniesta can do (play making) and everything maradona did (dribbling)

He is basically a hybrid of Ronaldo, Iniesta, Maradona. It takes some human to be all these three rolled into one.

That said, I'd have to say kudos to the media, Madrid and FIFA for somehow convincing us that there should be a debate on who is better.

Ronaldo is a lady's favourite just like Beckham till this day, and with the elevation of Ronaldo, there would be a corresponding elevation of female interest.
Having said that, l would still say that while Messi is a more artistic footballer than Ronaldo(and definitely more exciting to watch), Ronaldo has played in both Spain and England, and he became the world best in both leagues, l would really like to see Messi play in Mancity, BayernMunich, or even Juventus some day.

soetanoreoluwa:
Agu is injured Now... There is always a room for competition... Rohr still looking for his type of player... Who tels you sokari is the right man...?

Still need to be invited and access before any judgement...

But from the few glimpses of Agu in the GWG so far, he hasn't really shown he is the right man to replace Mickel, he may be good though, but we are looking for a suitable replacement for Mickel here, which means he must be both a defensive and ball holding, creative midfielder. l can't really say Mickel Agu has these qualities but l may be wrong though.

forgiveness:
I think NFF should intensify moves to approach some of these players now.


Tosin Adarabioyo - Manchester City

Dominic Solanke - Liverpool

Lookman Ademola - Everton

Kehinde Tosin - Manchester United

I think we have to forget the past and still approach Tammy Abraham. After all, Zaha also shuned Ghana before he latter turned out for them.

Approaching Tammy Abraham again would be a disgrace, an insult to a country like Nigeria.

goldfish80:
which country won the Afcon in 2002? Whih country reprssented Africa at the 2004 confederations cup and played up to the finals?

Was Osaze one the top scorers in the Epl with (a respectable )15 goals? Amir Zaki scored same number with Wigan and won the Afcon with Egypt in 2008, yet he didn't win.
Are Egyptians hated also across Africa?

My question is... Why was Eto given the award in 2003? Are you saying this was based on his past achievements?

goldfish80:
I discussed extensively how the SE defeated Cameroun ,with Bonfere giving Christian Chukwu tips in 2004 before the world cup qualifiers in Uyo.
Its laughable in your skewed imagination, I said Eto'o won the Afcon in 2004.

What Eto'o did to win in 2002/03? 2003/04?

Afcon title
Afcon top scorer
confederations cup finalist
Copa de rey (Mallorca)
Mallorca all time leading scorer
Pichichi [ 2nd to Villa while at Mallorca, lost this award on the final day]

List Obafemi Martins record for Nigeria between 2003-06. I'm asking you a second time.

Afcon title, Afcon top scorer, confederations cup, all of these were before the 2002/2003 season.
What did he do specifically in 2003 to win the award? Mallorca was not a top team then. Some have downplayed Odemwinge in 2011 for making his exploits in WestHam.

Jarus:
His winning 2004 APOTY award also included performance for the 2004 part of 2004/2005

- 22 goals in 43 matches for Maĺlorca in 2003/2004
( including 17 league goals)
- And he was signed by Barca in the middle of 2004 and started banging many goals in La Liga and UCL before the end of 2004.

22 goals for Mallorca(a mid table team), but someone just argued if you do not play for top clubs only, you cannot win the APOTHY.
Again the question is...What are the criterias for winning APOTHY? why does it keep changing?
Y'all defending CAF here do not seem to get the point.

BascoVanVeli:
The AFCON match may have been too far from where the Poland match is to be played.

We mustn't use same players, it's Sychelles for crying out loud, just a few key players can prosecute it.

korlahwarleh:
Let's stop arguing about the CAF selection joor. I'm a Liverpool fan but I think it should have been Moses, Aubumeyang and Salah in the final three.

Thank you jarry, Moses deserves top three no matter how we look at it, even if he doesn't win it.
