Just get it done the right way, let's see an improvement in security.

FIFA should name 1 world cup trophy after Mbappe. Don't care if its best young player, player of the tournament, golden boot etc, just name one after him. Dude is phenomenal when it comes to World cups🙆🏿

Your brain still dey your head?

Yes, and? 🙄

Petyprince:
Shutup

Your point being....? 🙄

Not that surprised. I said it earlier before the knock out that the Brazilian team was average and that even the nation doesn't have much belief in them. There can't be more that 2-3 members of that team that could boldly beat their chest that they can make starting 11 for major European clubs that are constantly chasing trophies. Not Ravan, Endrick, Martinelli, Santos, Danilo, Paqueta, Cunha, Casemiro ( e no even get club sef), Neymar ( e don kukuma retire internationally), Fabinho etc.

Hopefully by 2030, Brazil would be able to put up of team of quality players and a few world class stars to spice it up.

Happy 16th birthday to me
The gîfts can start coming in 👇

Birthday blessings bro🙏🏿

Actually thought you were trolling till I checked the profile😅

Kanwulia:
Merely a puppet installed temporarily by his Fulani masters. Anywhere the Fulani Oligarchs push his head, he sheepishly follows.

That's a wild allegation for a General. I think IBB too is hausa but leans a lot towards his mum Nupe side. I may be wrong though but its just not right to say no Hausa has ruled. 🤷🏿

oyichi:
Don't blame them, they were conquered both militarily and religiously by a few fulanis and a doctrine that will keep them enslaved forever was implanted into them, now, an average housa man sees himself as a servant to the fulani, that's the reason why upon their large population, they could not produce a single president in this country

What about the Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd)?

Who do you think will qualify for the quarter finals? Share your predictions below.

Are you sure about the kickoff time or you are using another time zone?

CharlesCNG:
Did you just call responding “spamming”? Maybe you should check your dictionary before checking my comments.

I am not spamming. I am responding, contributing and exposing the usual contradiction you like to promote.

And yes, the OP mentioned start-up kits and grants. So what exactly is the scandal?

Is political mobilisation now illegal because people received empowerment materials?

Or is it only wrong when APC supporters organise and benefit?

This is the same old Obidient angle:

If Nigerians complain, you say they are hungry and angry.
If the same Nigerians attend an APC event, you say they came for grants.
If they collect empowerment, you mock them.
If they vote differently, you call them foolish.

So which hungry Nigerian do you people actually respect?

The hungry Nigerian who abuses Tinubu online is “angry and conscious.”
The hungry Nigerian who attends an APC event is “bought.”
The hungry Nigerian who votes APC is “stupid.”


Yes, every Nigerian has a PVC. And that is exactly the point. The same people you insult today will make their personal decision at the ballot box tomorrow.

You call it spam because the point is disturbing your comfort.

I call it contribution because someone must remind you that INEC counts voters, not eye-roll emojis.

Is this how political fanboys think? So because you kept repeating the same thing and I called you out with the obvious reason why, then I am an 'obidient'🙄. Bye

@CharlesCNG

Enough with the spamming bruv. The OP clearly states that a major highlight of the event was the distribution of start up kits and financial grants.🙄
So what's all the repeated spam on all pages? 🫤

Well, every Nigerian to his/her own PVC, so its everyone's personal decision. Hopefully, we will get it right next year. Please come out and exercise your civic duty.

Congratulations to the winners👏🏿

During the regional awards, I noticed there was no mention of south south. Is there a particular reason?

Make I no lie, that Stella Damascus was my MAD crush that year. Such a beauty. And that gap tooth, I could run mad with smiles just watching her speak her lines. E don tay wey man dey mumu for woman sha.🫣 ......

But no be now again😏

Happy Birthday to the biggest crybaby in wrestling.
Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels and Triple H have apologized to him but he still keeps a grudge against them because they screwed him in Montreal. I used to love him when I was young. He's got wrestling skills but he never really had the best of charisma needed to be a Pro Wrestling superstar.

He was a SUPERSTAR!!!

Samueltemi337:
Colombia are very impressive
And the Ghanaian side are very bad
But it's football anything can happen

Gambling na risk. Afterall, na knockout stage so everybody dey ginger. I go add am join my games when I get better time take forecast. Thank God say na midnight.

Na so Columbia good reach wey Sporty dey give Ghana to score just 1 goal 2odds🙄

Everything should not be partisan. I hope she's qualified and capable, that's the only way the country can get better (if ever it will)🤷🏿.

sweetjohn:
Do you just call the almighty Brazilian team average? My guy stop watching football and start joining women to play tete. You have no business in football.

Brasil is the only team in the world that even her worst days still win trophies e.g 2002. They even qualify through playoff and then come and win the World Cup. No team in the world can. No matter how bad Brasil is beating them you will have to shit in your panties. This same Morroco played Brasil in this tournament. If they have added more ten min Brasil would have won even though Morroco is one of the best team in the world right now.

M

You are still among those using sentiments to watch football🤦🏿

Nobody is doubting the history of Brasil, but this current squad is average na. Brazilian teams used to have multiple world class footballers, but this particular one has dem Paqueta, Rayan, Cunha, Igor Thiago, Danillo, Fabinho, Santos, Gabriel etc. Even Casemiro no get club like this, that's to tell you say e football stock don drop compared to before wey big clubs for Don Rush am like hot akara. Apart from Vini, Guimares and Allisson, I see the rest as average abeg.

How many of this Brazilian squad players go fit challenge/ play regular starting football for major European club wey dey always contest trophies?

It's not always about sentiments or history, like some others that quoted too. But all the same, it's just my thoughts.🤷🏿

Goo0dHardDick:
How's Germany and Netherlands heavy weights?

You should be talking about France who are busy flogging each countries.

France to win the world cup

We are discussing about the teams that have played thus far. There is France, Portugal, England, Argentina, Spain and a whole lot of other 'big names'. When they play we will talk about them. As for now, I just spoke about the teams that played yesterday

LeeSmart:
Calling Brazilian team average and thesame you be calling Germany and the Netherlands heavy weight? more you better leave this punditry work begin fry akara oo because you don't know how to analyse football without being bias.

Bias you say? Comparing Cunha, Rayan, Paqueta, Danilo etc to Musiala, Nmeocha, Wirtz, Kimmich, Rudiger, Goretzka etc is like comparing Lyon to PSG. Just Vini, Bruno and Allisson are above average in my opinion. Not even my beloved Casemiro is exempted.

Abi you wan use Virgil, Dumfries, Rejinders, V.D.Hen, Gravenvberch etc take compare dem Gabriel, Santos, Casemiro, Danilo and dem Martinelli.

Anyways, in my opinion, I think even the nation doesn't have too much confidence in the present Selecao but that's just me. Feel free to express yours too.

Honestly, this round of 32 really changed my perspective of the world cup. Starting from S. Africa against Canada, then how Brazil narrowly survived (though I still think the Brazilian team is average), but then 2 heavyweights in Germany and Netherlands in just the 2nd knockout day, simply means teams now know that they are both 11 men on the pitch and don't need to fear the opponent's name or history.

Record over. Germany out.

Geez!!! I thought Germany record will end now now 🙆🏿. OMG!!!

Samueltemi337:
Na today them go lose

That's why it's called football. Anything can happen!!!

WhiteIverson:
Make dem just hold on until pk shootout
Walahi dem go comot Germany

Germany are the only team to have never lost a penalty shoot-out at the world cup. 100% record.

WhiteIverson:
Your mathematics predicted home or away
Wetin come happen

Obviously, na wrong formula🙄

Treasure17:
Nothing really spectacular about the big teams this year. Wish Nigeria had qualify, we might just win it.

Some of the big teams are under performing, but to dream of the Eagles winning it is a way way way way tall DREAM!!!

Samueltemi337:
They are so many
I guess you didn't know Nusa of Norway could have represented Nigeria too

More than 12 self. 2 for Austria, then Canada, America, Olise for france, England yakpa, so Tay ewe even get 1 Okon for South Africa sef.

PlutoPJ:
Why are you calling them Nigerians? Bro they're not Nigerian make una rest

I no dey understand why some of una no dey understand before una open mouth to Cho Cho cho. I no call them Nigerians, I say Dem no choose to play for Nigeria (na 2 different things).

Afterall, FIFA law say as far as you never play any senior match for any of the countries your papa or mama come from, then you can choose, but when don play senior match for anyone, den you no fit change again. Na only U23 and below Dem fit allow you to fit play and later choose where you like for future.

I hope you understand now, because sometimes, English dey hard people to understand.🙄

Samueltemi337:
You are right

And that Dortmund midfielder too. Felix Kalu Nmeocha. So far in this world cup, I have counted many players that didn't choose to play for Nigeria. Think I have seen between 5-10 players of Nigerian descent if not more.

Samueltemi337:
Musiala coming in

Such a shame he didn't choose Nigeria to play for. 1 of the best footballers of his generation. If not for fitness from injury recovery, he would probably have been lighting the World Cup by now.
