Subzero047:
Maddison, Henderson

Pogba played 17 mins in his last match and won man of the match

Why. Liverpool without Henderson are what? We both know the answer. Man U wey no even miss Pogba one bit. But Liverpool and Leicester did miss their guy. Haba.

Talk true na. No bring WC win here o pls.

17mins you say. Lol

Left Behind Pt 2 naim be dat. McTo is more important this season na. Potentially PP no be hin mate. But for Red Devils......

Taribo West confession on FP about Denmark mishap.

Yakubu is better than Kanu

In EPL or Naija shirt.


I see what ya tryna do Sub.


Return the energy back to football matters..

solonnachi:
Victor Moses wants to return back to the Super eagles so as to play in the World Cup 2022. Should the NFF accept him?

Mercenaries FC. Such a great business man. If we are to take 4 wingers to the WC who will he replace now?


Chukwueze
Simon Moses
Samuel Kalu
Ahmed Musa

Subzero047:
Unpopular opinion

Pogba is the best midfielder in the premier league

Aspa Kevin de Bruyne and Ozil, Maddison and Henderson went fishing on Obafemi Martins yatcht in faraway St Kitts and Nevis ba

Even Coutinho stats he never match since he go Barça.

komekn:
I don't get your point.

I just dey use God beg you, no make any case to justify Yobo's appointment pls. Ehen.

komekn:
Yobo was not invited to the NFF set up by Amaju.

The experiential competence that Yobo has acquired by participation in 20 years + of professional football in Europes top leagues from some of the top coaches in the world exceeds most so called coaches with badges.

Having a driving licence doesn't make you a great driver.

Pls Don't even start with the Yobo defense. Its gonna suck. Pls, i use God beg thee.

Danielnino00:
Of course I understand that the naira isn't stable.. and with falling oil price,it expected to loss more value... But the nff can still pay Rohr in Naira,the dollar equivalent of his agreed salary...
His current Salary is $55k that's approximately #20m ...
So let's say the naira drops to 500/USD then that can pay him 27m naira like that and it will still be $55k ..

We don't know yet if the contract states that he will be paid at an agreed fee in Naira .. if that's the case,then it's not a very good clause ...

its a contract. And both sides gats agree on how payment must proceed. What Pinnick is doing is simply wrong, bullying. Man doesnt want it that way. Pinnick should stop doing like he has a loyalty for the naira himself.

See 27m can be $55k and the next month, that same 27m might be $50k.


That's why these pinnochhio want it in naira. Its a big reason.


They know he wouldn't agree, so it can be used to boot him out and that's working in that direction.

Danielnino00:
Aren't they going to pay him in the naira equivalent of his salary?

He can easily change the currency to dollar of euro in Nigeria if he so wishes..

Its not that simple Danny.


Remember during GEJ times when the dollar was pegged btw 190 and 200? Corpers were paid 19800 fa?


Now thats exact $100 then.


Fast-forward to present times, corpers were seen jubilating upandan about the increase to 33k. Many even tipped Buhari for 3rd term, jokingky mostly though.


The fun fact is that very 33k is exact $100


Same amount in dollars as Gej times.


2 steps forward, 16paces backward.


The naira is just getting worse. And that is being used to scam nigerians.


Pinnick na smart man.

komekn:
My bet is on Ammunike because Yobo will not compromise he is not hungry AT ALL.

On the other hand the powers that be to mitigate against the overbearing influence of Amaju may push for Yobo.

If the powers that be want Yobo, forget dis talk o. Nff dey follow standard?

elyte89:
D guy don get plan when he employed yobo


Take it or leave it..rohr won't sign dt contract

Its eida ammunike/yobo is our next eagles coach

Back to isolation

Pinnick get sense b4.


No be him stand for front of dem Super falcons players with video, in a dinner setting promising them cash and friendlies prior to the world cup and now they are in shambles?!!



I see this as a chess move when Yobo might just be tipped to be the next.



I dunno what the ex se players are all saying about his record with the super eagles. This man inherited a team that wasnt okay and stabilized what every nigerian wanted and doing it with a very young squad. See the win ratio climb up. Fine he didnt win afcon. But he did well. Sometimes i dunno how these ex players specifically Dosu, talk.




On the order hand, if Rohr loves his boys let him....... This is hard. Pinnick is tryna ride him.

ChrisKels:
I find it very hard to believe this isn't Samuel Chukwueze

Is that his dad?

barackodam:
I saw Keyamo on twitter today, promoting Mtn's *888*pin# recharge, that it's a good thing during this period. He was saying it as if it's a new stuff and Mtn are using it to reward us, and not that it's a bonus where you'd be charged 60k/s

He also stated that ministers have already donated half of their salaries to fight the Virus


Last last, he said he'd share 1k for 20 people


Yup, after promoting mtn(as if we care), lied that they've donated 50% of their salary. He proceeded to share 20k. Azzin, Twenty thousand Naira o.


smh

May thunder faya his suit, cap, apron and all. Rubbish!!

BascoVanVeli:
The only player to score 100 goals in Nigeria and Europe. I always wonder what would have happened if he left the country at a younger age like Iheanacho and Osimhen.

I perch him at the number 1 spot for that. Others come behind.


Mainly cos since his time, to see such balance in performance for club and country, it's hard, even for today's best.

Rashidi Yekini!!!?


Lol

Funny right


Justifiable?

First Garba Lawal
Then Da Bull on Brilla FM

Now Ike Shorunmu with a recant




Its JJ 2 Vs Mikel 1


From the legends.




Im surprised Ike had only 32caps for SE in 9yrs. Thats like 3matches/year. Nawa o.

Icon4s:
How did we allow this thread to deteriorate to this state.

Who are these people?

You be like those parents wey leave pikin for kitchen go bedroom for 5mins kon come back see the entire flour and fridge liquids, broken eggs on their bodies and the floor and they're laughing.


What a mess!!!

ChrisKels:
Best news of this corona season is the coming back to full fitness of Uzoho Francis.

Wow. I really like this news. A positive from this lockdown season is the fact that players ruled out of the season can get a chance to help their team. Imagine 100% fitness for almost all teams in the world of football... Hot

Odunayaw:
If forensics is done on the past 30 pages of the thread, barely 5 will be useful in content. Keep it together people! This breakdown is much

Lockdown no be beans o

The guy na sharp guy mehn... No dulling.
Its one reason the envelope system is best with a known collector. Buh no, my people still prefer spraying. If that guy japa before being noticed ehn, Apapa business don open be that.

Omoluabi16:
hahaha. the sharp guy wey dey pick person money.

Sometimes we need realize the individual performance of a player to his team and success. And then the calibre of teammates he played with before tryna rubbish whatever such a player stands for. Trophies debates are flawed because of this. A benchwarmer can have a big trophy without 2% contributions to that trophy. Another may win nothing but carries the team and on and on.


No doubt Mikel had a successful career than JJ. No doubt. He will rank above him for that. But on the talent table, he's farr.

The argument goes on.

andrewbaba44:
Yak is not second to jay jay Among the English ,please stop lying ,I wasn’t born yesterday

Lol so because the world best gk was disgraced means what ? Like seriously who judge football like that this days ?

I repeat yak is not second to jay jay ,tell that lies to someone who knows nothing and not me

Na so the other one lie say jay jay Dey among the best player for 1998 World Cup ,was he even our best player in that tournament ?

You guys don’t need to tell lies to make a point

Thank you

Lol. I'm really done here andrew. You walked on the streets on London and heard that Yak is remembered than JJ??

Im done!!

andrewbaba44:
I like jay jay ,but I just have to be truthful okay

There is nothing really special about jay jay as you guys see it

If I hear say England no forget am ,if there is one naija player that England won’t forget it will be yakubu aiyegbeni

Yak is second to JJ among the English if you don't know. What exactly are you Tryna say now?


Nothing special about him is an insult man. Tell that to sport brands and Dinho and co.


It doesn't take an inch away from what he is. Someone disgraced the world's best GK then sotey he no fit forget and you say nothing special about him? Wow.


Can i go further like this?

Kanu

andrewbaba44:
Why can’t you tell me your own definition ,because am not sure you are going with what I said

Andrew, dont in a bid to shoe what Mikel is downplay the role JJ played for the SE pls. Yeah. JJ wasnt successful clubwise. But there is a big reason many that watched him live still mention him very well. Even those in England can't forget him...

Danielnino00:
Using the following criteria:
1) Performance at national team level (super Eagles only)

2) performance at club level

3) individual accolades won

Comply a list of the 5 greatest Nigerian players of all time...

I'll go first

1) Nwankwo Kanu
2) Jay Jay Okocha
3) Rashid Yekini
4) John Mikel Obi
5) Vincent Enyeama.

Let's go there... Safarigirl, Andrewbaba444, icon4s darkelf/blueelf tbaba1234 Odunayaw Thesupernerd Chriskels Enomakos Bascovanveli Chrisooblog do4luv14, Joebi Komekn Thegoodjoe daveP and other distinguished members of the thread....

Finidi gats fit in.


No Afcon for Kanu but 2 Apoty.


I think we gats strategize so a Nigerian can smell it the way Kanu did.

One thing is certain, if the script is crap but the movie grossed large, nobody cares. Direcyors and crew are as calm and happy as the dove. That's why they care less about critics these days.


We can apply that too.


The cash matters. Its business. And profit is the mainstream.

JaceBlaze:
NL is really full of lazy thinkers.It's actually heartbreaking to read what grown men & women type here sometimes

Firstly - Whether we thought of doing the movie before is not important.We want South African stories to be told by people who understand them the most,and who could that be if not South Africans themselves? .If you can't cast a South African then pack your Hollywood equipment and follow the sunset.


Secondly - Why are American stories off limits to non American actors yet they want their actors to touch our stories? give me a call when they finally allow a South African to play Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr.

Hahaahhha
Lazy thinkers!!! Pls reread all i read before you leap. Lol


You have comprehension issues i guess.

I stated facts and that makes me a lazy thinker.


If Madiba is that revered, why did it no occur to the black directors to adapt his life into a movie? Why wait for the white man to come and then when he wants to do it his way, SA was all ranting up and down asif its an entitlement.


Be like church sister wey brothers in tha lord dey overlook for marriage until ine brother from another church kon toast am ask her out. All of dem kon sit up, open eye say sister wey fine dey dia church.


You need work on your thinking.


And oh, i enjoyed Rhythm City very much until David Gennaro part began to bore me. But fact remain facts!!! Think harder pls.

BascoVanVeli:
They learn for the role. Most of those actresses didn't know how before they took the role.

Yeah, they do, but Noticed there are some cut out roles that time no dey to learn? Its why I'm not pleased. They gats step up. No be by bumbum and bags and wardrobe. They need wise up. Upgrade themselves to be multitasking. Is this too hard? Does that now mean I'm asslicking white men?


That card is stale right now.


Imagine since 2001, its majorly funds as the major hitch. Isokay.


See Frozen 2....I've been following it. The storyline is crap and even some scenes were too large for kids, but the saviour complex theme was the same as usual. Grossed over a billion.


Make i dey look on sha.
We have lots of stories, books to adapt, that would be great on screen.

chrisooblog:
true that look at Bollywood now not just romance movies with dance numbers they also do over the top special effects movies. anyone seen that Indian terminator film? hilarious stuff

Bollywood have been copycats of many superhero movies from DC and Marvel of late. Guess what its raking in hundreds of millions for them. They quickly adapted from their usual dance and sing. Did that erode their cultural values or identity? Not a bit.


See us all here. If we have a hostel of 35rooms and 20 peeps are with laptops, at least 18 of them will have 4 Bollywood movies. Can same be said for Nollywood in India? That's my point here. We should aim for the best and get it.

Sometimes ago, we heard Genevieve and Omotola's bill for a movie increased so they got sidelined.... Lemme not start with that.... Cos it would heat things up.


We just need rake im that money.


That if a trailer makes it to New York electronic billboards, 4secs should be enough to want passers-by to wana see it and hype it.


We still live Nollywoood pass SA, no doubt. Minus the white men influence on their movie industry and we have....



I don't like going down that road.



Learnt a Walk to Freedom was i itiated by a white man and when he brought this Empire Luscious Lyon and Jennifer Hudson to play Mandela and Winnie, the blacks in sA revolted...


But did they think of doing the movie before the white dude came? No!!!

Its a franchise and cash inflow is the deal.

safarigirl:
why will our actors need to fight taekwondo and king fu? There are 1 billion Chinese people in the world, they don't need the rest of you replicating their culture

I really don't understand why black people are so obsessed with getting the approval of white men. The slavery mentality with you guys is high sha.

That is one of the reasons Nollywood is regressing. We went from telling great, relatable African stories like Igodo, Living In Bondage and Egg of Life, to trying to tell European stories using African actors. You can't sell the white man's story to the white man.

The sooner Nollywood starts telling African stories again, the better it will be. The only problem Nollywood ever had was with money. There isn't enough capital to secure the effects that you guys love, but every other thing was good.

Script writing was top notch acting was impeccable. Go back and watch all those old movies, and you will gain a newer sense of respect for them. Over 15 years after movies like Osuofia in London, Issakaba and Aki & Pawpaw, people still enjoy them, they are all over the Internet, being used by millions around the world.

But Nollywood of today, will rather throw a bunch of light-skinned ladies with poor acting skills and a mediocre script, then try to blind us with flashy cars, while telling European stories.

Abeg, make I no too go down this path here, because my grouse with Nollywood and Nigerians is strong.

And you believe this with all your heart? If that was so, then we should be the highest grossing industry by now.


Story is one, making it a script is another and heck we are trying in that aspect of recent, but never top notch. Never.

Its all about smartness.... That has never been our forte.

The. Biafran War alone, can Nollywood act it in CGI standard as at now and give correct pictures, details and the likes? Can we?

Lets be real here.

Once crux that pains me is that many movies with no content are there making it bit cos of what? Catchy scenes and people watch and boom, cash inflow. Can we do same for a couple of years so we can get enough cash to real show the whole world what we made of? Nobody wana hear we have topnotch script writers even in an oscar hallway. Lets get that money by adaptation and then whatever you say can be valid.



For now, we are average.

We need more than the African Audience in this age. It has nothing to do with slave mentality but with quality.


Chimamanda Adichie has more than the African audience now. Her career dont depend on us anymore. That's an example...

And ya really being hilarious with those movies you listed up there to be frank.
