Like 20 Nigerians in the top 6 teams all playing for their own teams of the same club. Wow. U23 will be fun!! Perhaps Garbage or Amuneke or Sia1 since he has turned landlord, undisputed champion for that Olympic aspect.

Unlimited22:
Mehn, this guy's face is a source of nightmares to the monsters in our nightmares.

hehehhe.


It got worse when I learnt it was a pineapple that inspired the hair.


Wished he had a good follow in club football though. He is that good.

Let thunder from the darkest storm strike mark noble and his family

Fvcker wan send ndidi to retirement

Ndidi is just balling, but he will. miss the SA game. I hope he is back for the last qualifier.


Noble intent indeed!!!

safarigirl:
See how far a good haircut can take you? As Success removed that shrine on his head, his fortunes have taken a turn for the better

Maybe if Iwobi removes his own, he'll start scoring regularly

Lol When it was a plain land on their heads, they didn't perform like now. except Isaac.


Overall I no even like the shrine sef.


Talk of some Aristide Bance inspiration!!!

Joebie:
Can our best NPFL XI beat a team made of Nigerian debutants in Europe?

They will all be on yellow cards before the game ends that I can assure you. They can't even protest the calls of the red cos they know it won't be their usual "dislike madt ref blows nonsense, he go die today" ref.

So based on that, it's a no no for me, they can't win. A draw of that Afeko-stopper pulls a few De Gea moments.


That's my sentimental me up there.


But factual me is they can't!!

For now, all of you preaching about our local league should please stop. These guys are brothers to Flash in the Pan and cannot even bench anyone currently in the Team B of the SE.


When you think it's about pitches, that's when they flop most. Which means their problem is way above good pitches. It's wacky.


Whoever is comparing a 37yr old Pirlo to the 37yr old in the NPFL?


Oh Cmon. plssssss




If we want to only adopt the diet system in European football alone to the NPFL, 80% of them would never be called professionals again!!!


I'd however hope for the best that if the League Body does it's part, the face of the League and it's mentality, psychology. would follow suit.


For now, it's a no no for National Team!!!

Till Atiku finishes his tenure, this Njamah will always continue to be in the Plaintain Boy's shadows. She needs prayers...


Plaintain boy too sef.

Lol
who were his lecturers in Nepa office then, Lets interview them all.


Never again!!!!

Curtisaxel7:
I feel so ashamed right now guys. I just read about the incident in Asaba. Rohr was robbed of his phone and travelling documents. What kind of reputation are we building for ourselves before the int'l community?.

Now Rohr can't fly to our venues for the remaining matches.

This is a big disgrace to Nigeria as a country.

Asaba boys have stuck harder than Amadioha once again. I guess no match would be featured in their stadium as punishment. What nonsense. Perhaps in the process of thronging those documents were stolen.


Also speaks about the security personnel attached to our coach kinda.


Overall, this is some really boring and annoying news to hear at this kind of time!!!

KevinDein:
Exactly what we are discussing with some guys over here. Kola in all honesty hasn't lived up to expectations and Monreal despite being good is old and hence injury prone.
We need two fullbacks, on either sides. Would have really loved Chilwell but he just extended his contract at Leicester. I trust Mislintat to unearth some gems somewhere though.

I believe at least 4major buys would be gotten come January windows.

Stephen Litschteiner is un-Arsenal!!!

Spy360:
Welbeck and Mkhi should just stick to playing Europa. I get sick from watching those two .

Teacher: Define Welbeck!!

Student: Welbeck is the act of being so underperforming and boring but actually providing the solution relatively alien to performance. e.g Shade Welbeck every session.

Teacher to Zakari) You seems to be a welbecker!!

Too many times he was pronounced dead sotey I couldn't believe what again. Charlie Chaplin I paired him no doubt for the mutness on screen and just facial expressioms and gestures.


Once again, is he actually alive?

Is he a doctor? This lady herself is strong actually to not let bitterness get the best of her.

Auladimeji1:
The way people are hyping Israel you'll think it's the Israel of the olden days(Old Testament period) Israel is stronger than Nigeria in Military might but do they have the resources to fund the wars for years like Nigeria is funding her military against Bokoharam.Israel can't face Boko harm for 10years and still be the same.Nigeria is not Palestinians you killed like Mosquitoes.Underrate Nigeria military might at your own peril

Your temperature can heat up the furnace that killed the guards that threw Daniel's 3 friends in the fire in the days of Nebuchadnezzar!!! Smh

It seems the number 3 decided to hop ahead of number 4 when OP was writing her age. This one 34? abi 43?


These bunches of peeps never reason life is much more than all these crappy they show "fans" daily.

Page 1300!!!


Emery should be watched out for. This guy has transformed everyone and the players know the Hunger for the epl title is best settled now. Even Ozil knew that and had to say bye to the German Team.

Iwobi is something else, thanks to the impact of the coach and without mincing words, JJ Okocha!!

If he scored that one on one he missed cos he couldn't raise his leg higher to control that ball, I'm sure the young player of the season award would be on his heels by now.

The defence needs an African in it once again. Goals conversed is too much.


Thanks Auba.

I went to watch that match with the patriotism of wanting 3 SE players to perform well, but I dropped that after the game started.


Nacho was doing well for the foxes and his presence for the defensive minded team was very very effective. Madison is overhyped to me. The foxes had balance when Nacho was there with his runs and passes, but immediately he was removed, Madison became Ghostmode and Vardy was more alienated. Who be Albrighton? Mtcheew. Leicester played better with Nacho on the pitch and you can goan hug transformer if you don't agree. Ndidi performed even better than those Leicester midfielders.


Arsenal is the better team overall. What were you expecting anyways.

Just Nacho has to really take this season like a blast just as Iwobi is doing right now. that's all.

Icon4s:
I don't know why it took the board that long to kick out Wenger.

Not just Iwobi the entire Arsenal team has been fired up since Emery came in.

Iwobi even said it that playing under Emery is more demanding than playing under Wenger. Cos he expects more from you.

Emery sure knows how to play Iwobi.

But please let Emery stop starting Mkhi, why would he bench a goals machine like Auba?

All Arsenal needs now is some cheap defenders with a very hot performance rate to shut up the backline from conversing.

Arsenal have the 2nd best attack(22goals) in the epl this season behind Man city(26goals), but have conversed exactly half(11) while man city have conversed just 3(their defence line is work over 150milla sha) Arsenal are fired up this season and they are expected to win something.

Ex-Man Utd Star Hargreaves & Ex-Leicester City Hero Bright : Ozil, Not Iwobi, Deserves To Win MOTM
Published: October 22, 2018

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/55136Iwobi1.jpg

Alex Iwobi was officially named the Man of the Match in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.

The Man of the Match accolade is given to the most outstanding player from either team by the Premier League sponsors.

In his post-match analysis, former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves questioned the decision to name Iwobi Man of the Match and stressed that the Gunners captain on the night, Mesut Ozil had more impact than the Nigeria international.

Speaking on Premier League Fan Zone, ex-Crystal Palace and Leicester City striker Mark Bright echoed the words of Hargreaves, saying he's surprised that the German was snubbed for the award.

Ozil became the highest scoring German in Premier League history with 30 goals after scoring the Gunners equalizer in the 45th minute, and provided the assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second goal in the 66th minute.

The Arsenal number 10 made four key passes, the most in the match, and had a game-high passing accuracy of 92.5 percent according to stats provided by OPTA.

Though Iwobi spent more minutes on the pitch, he had one shot on target, the same as Ozil managed, finished with a passing accuracy of 80 percent, and was the top dribbler with three successful take-ons.

I don't agree with this. Forget national bias, but before that Ozil goal. It was All Iwobi doing the work. Leicester were so compact and Iwobi was doing the job of cracking them down while Ozil was as usual unable to do same cos he was hopeless. After that Goal, Ozil came up and improved, but Iwobi didn't falter in performance level. Consistent Iwobi, Blazing Ozil.... I'd still give Iwobi. His only down was the finishing he still has issues with till now. He will still become a good finisher.

Sorrry
Better PUT......EVERYTHING is wrong with NIGERIANS except BIAFRANS

Its best to take no sides on such a general issue like discussed here. I know the problem my own tribal people contribute as well. I can't because I belong to such tribe be hiding their flaws like they're some saint. This is even part of the issues highlighted above. This helps no one!! Since I was young and now I'm getting old, this same old nemesis of segregation has produce not one progress!!!


Be livid and think deeper pls!!!!

dabossman:
I believe it is a poverty of the mind more than that of the pocket.

And the one of the mind has wires that transmit current to affect and bring forth poverty of the pocket. lol. It's a pity!!!


Anywhere you go, the big man feels he is entitled. And more or less in reversal, once people several a potbellied man in a luxury car, they quickly switch on the mental slavery mode so he can "drop something"

Every he goes he is aware someone too wants to worship the sand beneath his shoes..... cycle goes on.

zelaws:
Look closely at the campaign bill board covering traffic light

I wonder who even approved that nonsense placement. or If the traffic light isn't in the right place and height. SMH!!


This is Nigeria!!

Shelumiel:
...but the bulk of those engaged in such acts come from the poor

Sure! And they are ready to kiss the feet of the rich white in turn are so so comfy with passing a few currencies around, and feel the world owes them some respect cos of this act. I agree too. Most Nigerians are so so uncouth and have bad environmental sanity, most especially the ladies. Behind outside and very very dirty and unkempt inside. Seems the only clean world to them should be their rooms(that's of its even clean, tidy).

Not to talk of boundary disputes, and like that streetlight issue, selling to the highest bidder will continue to give the imbalance our society currently experiences. Lemme not go into Phcn and the NPF.

Shelumiel:
From what I have read , everything being said here dwindles down to poverty. The poverty in Nigeria is something worrisome

I don't think it's only the poor that do these stuff. Th3 rich are part and parcel as well. They only cap it off with some entitlement mentality.

Famzer:
In life it's what you focus on that expands,there is nothing strange about having deviants in a society. If you study sociology you would have been taught.Some months back,British teenagers were sneaking out of UK to join ISIS and the whole world was shocked with repeated school and public shooting massacre in the US.
In that same Jos,an imam provided safe haven for Christians during religious skirmishes. The same Nigeria defeated recession while countries filled with angels like Greece and Venezuela couldn't. This is the Nigeria that's the biggest economy in Africa and trudging on despite our flaws. While lamenting and displaying subtle subterfuge,why don't you pick one area of our national problems as a university graduate and dedicate your best towards solving that problem. You will then have a basis to mobilize others. True leaders don't lament,they face challenges head long and never stop until they overcome the problem.

Oh come off this stance you stylishly seem to stand by. True Leaders you say, like we are in some continent where rights are respected and society has a smooth sail faster than Usain Bolt to the top. Pls if you cant see the reality of the post up, then no need to join the flow. Your first paragraph is way way off and shows you have little understanding of what was written above.

Wondering if you live in Nigeria atall.


The Military era instilled Discipline and Cleanliness into Nigerians and, that's the only reason I put that there, not cos they were the best for Societal Progression. Wake up pls!!!


You're funny actually, I'd like to follow in your footsteps if you've "picked one aspect of the many problems and solved it"


Act and speak like you know Nigeria!! Gracias.

Someone once told me a story about some contractors who were supposed to work on a project in one of the villages in the Niger Delta. I cannot remember what the project was about but l remember that he told me that In the area earmarked for the project, a family shrine stood. The contractors needed to clear the area for work to begin. So they paid some compensation to the family that owned the shrine and then pulled it down.

The next time they got back to that area, where there was one shrine initially, several other shrines had sprung up overnight. Each shrine had an owner claiming it was a family heritage and therefore compensation must be paid to them before any work would start. The more they paid, the more shrines sprung up. The contractors became frustrated and abandoned whatever project it was they were supposed to have started. Whether the project was for the greater good of the community, the villagers didn’t care. All they wanted was immediate financial gratification.

Back in school, a Dangote truck had killed a student. This led to a sort of ‘aluta’ among the angry students. A situation that was soon hijacked by hoodlums to ferment more trouble.

To avoid a repeat of such incident, the govt built speed breakers along the school road and also built an overhead bridge for pedestrians. The first time l walked on that bridge, I swore it would be my last. Instead of a bridge that would form a Safeway for students against fast moving vehicles, It had been turned into a public toilet. The aim of its creation, defeated.

I remember sometime in 2008 in Jos, JMDB had provided a number of waste bins along strategic points. Instead of throwing rubbish on the street, all one had to do was turn around and locate a nearby bin where one could dispose of dirt. Guess what? They didn’t last two weeks. At least the ones on Tafawa Balewa street and west of mines junction to around polo field, did not. They disappeared. Apparently stolen by people who either felt the bins were better off in their houses or who felt the metal used in making them, could be melted and formed into something else that could be sold. It wasn’t long before l noticed that the bins in other parts of Town that l usually frequented, had also disappeared. Those behind their disappearance, must have thought that dirt on the streets of Jos would add a form of beautiful ugliness to the Tin city. It didn’t matter to them that providing those waste bins, was one of govt’s way of keeping the city clean.
I remember the first time l came to Lafia. One of the few things l liked about the town was the way it lighted up beautifully at night, courtesy of the streetlights. It didn’t take long for the lights to stop working. Some hoodlums under the cover of darkness, would little by little, loosen the bolts supporting the lights. They would do this night after night until one day, the bolts would give way and the lights would fall down. I hear there is something they contain ( either the bulbs or the solar panels, l can’t remember which now). Once those things are sold, they bring alot of money to the seller.

Those behind such theft did not care that apart from adding to the aesthetics of a place, the lights also provided Some sort of security for road users at night.
Each time I am on a bike going somewhere, there’s a prayer on my lips. The reason is because some okadas over here, do not obey traffic lights. For some of them, ‘yellow’ which ordinarily means ‘get ready to stop’ is a motivation for them to increase speed and get to the other side before traffic on the green side begins to move rapidly. On the other hand, those whose turn it is to move, don’t even wait for the lights to turn green. Once the timer is some numbers away from one, they just begin to move. Hence you see okada men struggling not to hit each other in the melee that follows. Sometimes they are not so lucky and accidents occur.

The only time they behave themselves is when a traffic warden or a police man stands by the roadside with a whip in hand, ready to flog any traffic offender. When there is none, the traffic lights are as good as invisible. So one finds that, the reason for which the lights were set up in the first place, cannot work if there is no whip carrying official in sight. Mind you, these are full grown adults yet they cannot maintain traffic laws unless they are threatened with a whip like small children. So rather than heave a sigh of relief that with the presence of traffic lights, there would be less chaos and accidents, the opposite has become the sad reality.

My landlord had to create an alternative drainage system when some tenants complained that the one that passed behind their windows, made their rooms smell. This alternative drainage is supposed to be used to dispose of only dirty water but it has become a dustbin of some sort for a couple of female corpers in the compound. That’s where they dispose of their used sanitary pads, their empty bottles, their empty packets of soap and detergent, just name it. Now the drainage is blocked. Water barely passes through. I cleaned it out one time but when it got blocked again, l didn’t bother. The stench from that drainage makes me wonder how some of those girls with rooms close by, manage to breathe. It also makes me wonder whether it was necessary at all for my landlord to bother his head about creating another drainage in the first place. Seeing how the present one has been bastardly abused.
The same set of girls have almost turned our side of the compound into a refuse dump. Almost every corner, is a ground on which to throw dirt. There is a waste bin in front of the compound. Yet they prefer to litter the whole place rather than walk a few metres to dispose of their rubbish.

Someone told me how some Nigerian US based doctors from his state decided to get medical equipment that were no longer in use in their various hospitals, to send to Nigeria. When they arrived Nigeria, they handed over the equipment to an association of doctors in his state. Rather than keep them in govt owned hospitals as agreed, the doctors turned round and sold the equipment to the highest bidders. They put the money in their pockets. These were equipment that were supposed to be of benefit to Nigerians who couldn’t afford to patronise private hospitals.

We all know how messed up PHCN is, right? But do you also know that even with the epileptic power supply, some Nigerians find their way into transformers to steal things?
The other day, my area was thrown into darkness for months. On enquiry, we were told that the transformer had been vandalised. l even hear that sometimes such acts of vandalism are carried out with the connivance of PHCN staff. It doesn’t matter to such thieves that by virtue of their actions, many people will not be able to enjoy even the little light that PHCN manages to supply every now and then.
Only the other day, some pictures made the rounds on social media. They were pictures of the dilapidated state of one of the toilets in the Nigerian High Commission, London. Seeing those pictures, was a sad indication that even outside the country, in saner climes, the poor maintenance attitude of Nigerians sticks out like a sore thumb.
I could go on and on and on. See, l have arrived at the conclusion that, there is something wrong with Nigerians. Something that stops us from doing the right thing as long as we are not negatively affected on an individual level. How else does one explain this desire to abuse and misuse facilities set up to make life easier for us? Everywhere you turn in this country, unless there is a fine or punishment attached, one is sure to find Nigerians eight out of ten times, doing the wrong thing and without any pinch of conscience whatsoever.

There is something really wrong with Nigerians. I wonder exactly what it is but unfortunately l can’t put a name to it. On this period of the celebration of our 58 years of independence, If anything, it is time once again, to look inwards, time to consider rewiring ourselves to understand that our lackadaisical attitude towards the maintenance of public property and law and order, is one of the banes of national development and one reason why we are still where we are 58 years after independence from colonialism. If we are serious about making Nigeria a better place for all, then the time for rethink and repentance, is now.
Happy independence day Nigeria.

Don't you agree? Seems we need the military strong arm again!!?

Curtisaxel7:
Success is miles ahead of Iheanacho as a number 9 in my opinion.

To me, Nacho has never been a natural 9. I can't even be comfy with the thought of him playing 9. I hope his AM skills still abound in him though.

kongolo:
The more you complain,the weaker you seem.I used to be like you in the past and whine about our portrayal on western news networks and fiction until I realized their negative portrayal of us suits their agenda.I suggest you either watch their programmes and accept whatever you see and keep quiet or you carefully choose programmes with no agenda or you shut yourself off from their media which is quite difficult but still possible

oh here comes one of their asslickers.


Imagine such a stance!!!


What a strong mind you actually do have. Indeed!!

These guys have come with their stupid statistics again. The Muslim population in Ekiti is not more than 30percent. These guys should shut the hell up. Nonsense.!!!

Ekiti is predominantly Christian in population. It's even higher in the rural areas than have 75percent of Ekiti's population. SMH.


This man should be ready for their noise making till his tenure expires.

Everything must now be about religion appointment?

Empire 5 Episode 4...

Episode Review
There's something I hate and Empire has done it for the 2nd straight time again!!
Empire has a penchant to wana use our beloved Nigeria as a contact country for reasons best known to them. And while the 1st was real, it wasn't valid. They referred to the Boko Haram issue like Asif it's the whole Nigeria that is under the direct terror of these guys and that Lagos, etc, are dangerous places to be cos of the terrorists. Crappy and very very silly and dumb!!
Now again to Episode 4. Kai(Jamal's new lover)said he wants to do some journo work in Lagos. Jamal was scared cos he considered the place a terror zone and that he may get himself killed in Lagos, not Bornu o, not Sambisa o. Lagos for God's sake?!!!

That was from Episode 3 and now in 4. As Kai disappears, the idea continues to linger that Kai must have been killed cos Nigeria was sold out as a terror zone.

Feel free to hop on and try justify and defend this stupid representation by these guys, but why won't i take it serious when this image is wrong? Lagos o!!! (Kai did a video clip of some kids doing You're So Beautiful, a usual portrayal that depicts we don't always have good classrooms. Mind you he's in Lagos).


That's how Kanye and Kim went to Uganda to try and portray the stupid idea that Africa is so deep in poverty. Not that it's not true. But didn't they see beautiful and clean places to video from their way from the airport to that primary school they went to?
This isn't the image we give our selves. This image is given majorly by these Americans and it sucks. It's Gat to stop!!!


It's a movie ba? but we know that these real life scenarios find a way into series. Funny enough to buttress my point, they don't always refer to South Africa despite the urbanization level to show that this is a deliberate attempt of defamation of the African continent and Nigeria in particular.
Nonsense!!!!

$9.5m FIFA grant: Three NFF officials in court over alleged misappropriation

Three officials of Nigeria Football Federation were on Thursday arraigned in a Federal Capital Territory High Court at Maitama, accused of misappropriating $9.5 million and N1.3 million.

The defendants are Christopher Andekin, NFF Director of Administration and Finance, Reagan Zaka, Cashier and Fadanari Mamza, Head, Finance and Account Department.

They were dragged to the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on five counts bordering on criminal conspiracy, breach of trust and misappropriation.

The prosecutor, Mr Steve Odiase, told the court that the three defendants conspired between January 8 and January 26, 2015, to commit the offences, contrary to Section 97 of Penal Code.

Odiase alleged that Andekin was entrusted with money meant for the development of football in Nigeria, a grant from the Federation of International Football Association.

He said that Andekin, however, fraudulently diverted N1.3 million from the NFF domiciliary account with Zenith Bank, an act that is contrary to section 311 of the Penal Code.

He further alleged that Zaka on his part, fraudulently diverted $7.2 million grant from FIFA for development of football in Nigeria while Mamza diverted $2.3 million.

The defendants all pleaded not guilty to the charges, and their counsel, Mr Arinze Egbo applied for their bail.
The Judge, Justice Peter Affen upheld the administrative bail granted to them earlier by the EFCC.

In addition, he ordered that the sureties should sign a bond with the registrar of the court, and the defendants should deposit their international passports.
The case has been adjourned until November 27, for the commencement of trial.

These fools. should go to hell and be jailed without mercy. Nonsense!!


They would. just sit and be doing meeting on how to siphon funds.


That 1.3milla can so so transform the destiny of the Super Falcons right now if given them. but some potbelitoses would rather be using the zenith bank(something about this bank and siphoning money) to do evil.
