I'm 97% sure of seeing this lineup tomorrow.

Why Akpeyi?

KingGBsky:
Nigerians un dey fuvk up o...so you guys dont have nigeria pictures to post abi?
Una dey allow all dis kenyans dey see una finish.

They are just repeating pictures, there's nothing they've posted that haven't been posted by Nigerians here before. Lagos has it all, Abuja is there. Bauchi, Gombe, Cross rivers, etc have the wildlife.
I have followed this thread for long and I've seen that Nigerians are not so jobless to keep repeating pictures except the Kenyans state categorically they want the thread to be a comparison of pics.

NFF now attracting more sponsors, good one l must say.

Should this Ivorien team represent Africa? damn.

Icon4s:
Ivory coast are just playing nonsense.

Their golden era is gone.

I wonder o, Mali just be like Real Madrid.

Mali hit the cross bar.

Mali missed an open net.

Joebie:
Russia WCQ (SuperSport9)
Mali vs CIV

Mali playing well so far but lack experience from what l see.

Naija ...

Ok nice, so you believe this data but you deny the ones that do not tally with your views? It doesn't make any sense.
No matter how poor Nigeria is, it doesn't easily suffer from famine, Kenya has it worse than Nigeria on this aspect even with the Boko Haram refugee spill out in 2013/2014. Now Kenya is on a credit deficit and your economy is in shambles worsened by election problems and a high corruption index, you have a lot to worry about my man. Sometimes l pity the Kenyans here especially the 45% unemployed.

Kenyanstar:
The guy is correct in his insinuation that the GDP of the Nigerian economy does not reflect on its populace. According to the resent "rebase" of the Nigerian GDP anybody could assume that the country is extensively developed putting in mind that such an amount if injected to the building of the country could lead to much development.

The GDP is even too small, per capita is low. The economy developed and we had an exponential increase in the number of Billionares and Millionares from 1999 to 2015 but the inequality increased due to corruption and Prolly because the budget for education has been decreasing since 1981.

Muafrika2:
They proly faked the population too, to justify the unrealistic GDP figures,

It doesn't make sense to cook the GDP figures , neither is it of any benefit, and even if we did that, it could have been discovered by now. We also have many negative stats on education, poverty, etc, which you do not question. GDP rose in 2014(after the rebasing)from about 300Billion dollars then( in December 2013)and it included mainly the growth in telecommunication and banking. There was growth from 1999 to 2015, however population and poverty increased at this time from the lower middle class down due to corruption, so you would be right to say inequality increased, but accusation of a cooked GDP is lame and no one can take you serious on that. I know you don't know anything sha.

Muafrika2:
We agree you population is crazy. Which begs the question, why is your spending not matching your population? Or the population is cooked too

I fail to get your point here, if the spending doesn't match the population(according to you) how then does that correlate to a cooked population? What spending are you even talking about? I think you just want to argue because others are arguing, you don't even know anything.

I expressed truth....not pessimism...I am a realist...

How can you be a realist by underating the super eagles when the Zambians who should be afraid are brimming with confidence?

mumemma:
I expressed truth....not pessimism...I am a realist...

Really?

tbaba1234:
Cameroon came to Uyo with a similar strategy but were surprised by Nigeria's willingness to sit back and hit them on the counter. Basically turning their strategy against them

People also forget, a draw would do Zambia no good. If they sit back, it doesn't hurt for us to sit back as well drawing them out in the process.

mumemma:
I have made a call to caution...

I have made the call to caution.....

Of course there is caution, what we are saying is that there's nothing really to worry about thinking about it logically. The coach is already cautious, so what more do you want from him?

Icon79:
And that's my sentiments, exactly! When folks keep saying that this is not the same Zambian team we beat last year. My response: is this the same Nigerian team that beat them last year?

Our team is definitely stronger. Not only are we fielding a much stronger squad (except for the goalkeeper) but most importantly the coach, Gernot Rohr, understands his team much better than he did last year. I expect a good win on Saturday. But that's not so say that I am not worried.


O pari

We even played Ndidi out of position last year and still we won.

mumemma:
My Fears as Eagles-Zambia Clash
I will not mince words in saying I am not comfortable with the feeling about Saturday’s game. We all are so relaxed and at ease. I am worried,really worried. It will be tasking on Saturday and we cannot just make an easy win. I can bet on that.
We all got excited after the Cameroun win but hey, football can be funny sometimes. If we are all sincere, we had a below par performance at Yaounde and mother luck sailed us through with a draw. Then look closely at the Uyo encounter, I can say I am not convinced yet. For a while Cameorun had some good play over us.
Saturday will not be easy. The Zambians are red hot….They were quite unlucky at Ndola. This is ganna be more difficult that Cameroun clash. I warned you all. We may not get more than a draw…..
The South Africa game experience lingers…….
Just a little out of the box….Abeg where Efe Sodje and Furo Iyenemi dey sef? We need them to back up our defence o..lol

Calm down, we are beating Zambia nothing less than 3-0, l wonder what it is you are scared of, are the Zambians suddenly better than Nigeria already? I don't think so.

NairobiWalker:
You mean your foreign remittances is higher than your budget? Either your country is a banana republic, you're corrupt, you cook figures (which is the most likely) or you guys are just stupid.

English must be a problem to you, you have been told several times all 36 states have their budgets and that Government revenue is almost solely dependent on oil. Worry more about Kenya, there's is a credit deficit there right now and the economy is shaky.
It would be stupid for us to cook figures for foreign remittances, it doesn't make any sense. Besides, foreign remittance is not a source of income for Government but flows down directly to the people, if you don't understand this as a graduate then l wonder how you see yourself as anything but stupid.

libero808:
Iwobi vs Simon

@thebolded. It was an Ighalo assist, not Victor Moses

Both assisted, but it was VicMoses volley.

AIG07:
Jay Jay- Wilson Oruma- Chidi Odiah.

So much enjoyed the trio back then.
Oruma was another skillful player we didn't see much of due to Jay Jay's presence-he came at the wrong time while Chidi is the best RB Super Eagles has produced in the last decade-though he left the scene so quick. He should still be in his mid 30s same as story as T.Taiwo

Etebo has the football character of Oruma. #Warri boys

Foreign remittances to Nigeria now at 22Billion dollars and in 2015 was as high as 35Billion dollars. That's just for foreign remittances wired down to the country . So how do you begin to compare Kenya to Nigeria for God's sake? This thread is quiet annoying mehn.

PMI for manufacturing in Nigeria highest at 58.1 in September 2017 (higher than Brazil) for a nation slowly exiting the effects of recession in 2016 when it was 41.9, yet Kenya without recession is still on 42, and you dare compare Nigeria to Kenya?

mtis:
100% in agreement ...Its called being poor but stupid ...

Even if we go by your quote, Kenya has about 20million people in poverty with an unemployment rate of about 45percent for a population of just barely 48million. Nigeria has unemployment rate of 14 percent with 110million poor people for a population of 180million people. It shows that a majority of the poor are still employed in Nigeria albeit underemployed in some form of trading or non commercial farming.
In my opinion, Kenya is more miserable going by your quote.

Muafrika2:
Nigerian cooked GDP is more interesting.

Its definitely unprecedented that a needy country would create fake statistics just to steal the no. 1 spot from a certain South African country.

The giant of Africa, he he

South Africa is even behind Egypt probably because Egypt has 91 million people, there's nothing fake there, It's usually about the population.

Off topic..
Equatorial Guinea is back for the qualifiers, ban lifted.
I guess CAF realized such a lengthy ban could set football backwards in that country and CAF need more teams to stand up to Superfalcons.

Shaytun:
I fail to see how relevant this is on this thread.


Two people fighting over undies. So..................WHAT?

My advice to you spend some time off nairaland, you becoming stwepid.

I was also surprised, the post made absolutely no sense to me as well.

My mum always speak highly of Murtala Mohammed though. I also think Tafewa Balewa would have done well.

lakesidepapa:
My brother! German is very tight, I collected and used a text book from a friend who studied it at Goethe institute in Lagos for self education way back 2014, I knw the basic with book.

The best teaching is interacting with someone who can speak and write in it.

Exactly, not all these A1, A2, nonsense.

Slimydude49:
This one moses is feeling too big and indispensable.. I'm not too cool with it.. Punctuality is an integral part of discipline.. Match day and on Saturday and he's yet to resume camp by Wednesday morning

Moses arrived about an hour ago.

kikuyu1:
Actually,no. This is a recent commentary on the true state of your middle class from a Naijjan:
http://www.businessdayonline.com/nigerias-waning-middle-class/

As I've mentioned severally consumption data is key to all economic data. If on paper your GDP reads like RSA yet your per capita consumption,oil,sugar,cement,kwhrs read like Uganda or Lesotho you can throw away ALL YOUR OFFICIAL STATS! Look:

It's still not worse than that of your 40million Kenya, that's my point. Middle class in Africa generally has not risen to a great level.
