Perhaps the driver thought he was on the passenger seat instead.

If Iwobi doesn't work on his end product, he'll start having problems. Mkhitaryan is coming. People are pushing for Reiss Nelson who is stalling on a new deal as Psg and madrid are rumored to be looking at him.
He needs to be more assertive and take more risks. He's certainly way better than anything he's shown this season.

Mkhi won't and can't displace Iwobi cos they don't play the same position. But agreed, he's a time bomb waiting to explode at Russia if he just shows an iota of what he showed Vs Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. Those were world class Midfielders he was passing thru asif twas mere amateurs. I'll give him that credit. And yes, he can get better too..... But I don't have a problem with him(shrugs), inasmuch as he scores in the GWG without hassle. Let's always remember the Brazilians..... Club under perform, Country dazzling performance. I'm still of the school of thought that club performance doesn't equate to country performance.....

It's sad though. However, I do not believe we are the most prayerful country on Earth. Most religious, I can agree. Most of our Christians here pray amiss, in accordance with their own worldly beliefs, wants and desires and not according to the will of God.
That being said, I also believe it is good that you know yourself. If you cannot trust in God to defend you, by or means take up arms. But for those who truly believe and pray accordingly, I tell you the truth, they will neither die nor suffer loss.

Quite True, Blood is thicker than water. Some prefer an accident take a relation than at the hands of these herdsmen. nuff said. I don't need it to come to my doorstep before I start thinking if preparing if such occurs.; and that's the thinking of an average Nigerian. Must we reach Cuba's Plight before we know we need to react? Not at all..... Even Prayers in some situations that have already been predicting By Christ himself can't change that situation. I don't wanna take this that way though. Pov is just as a Nigerian and human that I am.

Iwobi's form against Chelsea made me know what he's capable of Being the top pivot of the SE.

I always miss the party cos the venue never pleases me!!!

thesicilian:
Hard to argue with your logic.
It's just that I strongly believe that a man can become"stone" just by falling on his knees and not by the number of bullets in the chamber.

They are already "Stones" once they become believers. You get? We are the most prayerful country in the planet and we haven't even smelt the finesse that Ghadaffi made Libya have in terms of economy, etc. Not Undermining the effect of Prayer cos that's how Peter was saved in the Early Church times. But we all were created without zombi-eic tendencies. Let us Protect our own. It doesn't even need be about religion now. You trigger Conflict, then expect Bullets to fly. Sad that peeps that have a future are wasted in such a massacre.

Now it remains a post from Trudy 12 !!!

I feel gudt bout this year......

Lol Nacho is trending 2018, and he would right after the mundial. Mixed feelings would turn haters over.

They equally know the bible verse that allegedly says Christians should not retaliate. And its used well against us. The devil knows well that many sitting in comfy zones would never accept defense. You Are in Lagos and yarning dust and baking powder?? He who wears the shoes knows how and where it hurts.


Imagine you can't sleep in the night cos these guys can just swamp up a Lil community in mins. Every loud suspicious bang inspires adrenal rage and fear. The right accorded you as a citizen is never active. Will you wait dumbly expecting it to turn out well?? You stone a cow to leave your farm, gunshots you get in return. wayshaishashai!!!! Keep talking from Comfort zone Mr Sicilian. You never expeeeerience an iota of what insecurity and insurgence is.

thesicilian:
They were not used for fighting.

Mr, read your bible again and then get back to me. That act alone verifies the fact that Christ wants believers to prepare in self defence despite the fact that angels could be summoned in seconds. Two Swords were enough for self defense, and you know that Peter used one to sliced off that overzealous servant's ear.



During a naming ceremony, prayers are made like "This child would make you enjoy your old age so well...." , only to see that very child lying in a casket after being killed in a massacre by some bloodthirsty herdsmen. Pls reason


We all know it about love and all, but self defense is biblical.


"isn't it hard for one to kick against the stones?" Meaning? Those kicking must know that they are kicking stones and not bread or puff puff. paraphrasing the Saul to Damascus Encounter.

thesicilian:
How is this self defense? What I see here is forgiveness and love for your persecutor.

the two swords that He told the disciples to carry in case the arrest contingent drew blood in the garden of Gethsemane? How about that?

TheSuperNerd:
Sir DaveP and Boss Joseph1013, sebi "Iheanacho" won hottest topic on the thread. Abeg take note... It has started again in 2018.

Lolz. I agree, even Musa sef. I might be away for sometimes. But peeping Toms would always be peeping Toms

BTW When 2019 comes and Waiting Patiently for when Trudy12 comments, a din know which is going to happen 1st

you need deliverance from marine spirits.if u r physically 4rm a riverine area thats what u need to do.
Then break covenants with satan ,mammy water and witches

BascoVanVeli:
The federal government should make an efcc that faces corruption in sports. Some of these refs should be thrown in jail along with their enablers. I strongly believe in that.

Youre seeing the connections now. If ref tok say oga at the top transferred cash to execute the match 'favourably' wetin hin go do, esp when pikin neva pay sku fees? Its not our league alone, but we're dealing with ours here.

BascoVanVeli:
Haba hw will Kwara owe they just won promotion. Rangers don't owe salary, the Enugu Governor promised stuff that they were yet to get.

i misplaced the newspaper i got the info from....

BascoVanVeli:
@ bolded I just fainted. We can have a repeat of that year but our clubs must first start making it into the group stage. I commend the LMC for giving each club some money even before the competition in order to help them out with logistics.

Oh that....that was when SE were still using Kano for qualifiers prior to 2014 wc. He and Colin Udoh were the commentators.


That mentality of playing safe at away games is the crux. 'my home is my home' mentality affects all players in the league. Let's not start on how that came about cos we both know....and our referees sef know. lol. All those 1-0s they see often don't work at CAF level; totally different ballgame! Wydad Casablanca, were they not the team that dealt with Rangers(?) in confed qualification level sotey dey begin do permutations? What did they do to conquer Africa? Is it not the same 11players we have too? Oh! The diff is club philosophy!!

LMC yaff try. But these clubs need to personally tvsh up

The recent news of the NPFL's own definition of 'loan' is the best testament of the school of thought that all the teams owe their players. salary or bonuses.(person wey no fit pay salary naim go pay bonuses well?)

BascoVanVeli:
Show me proof that close to 10 NPFL clubs currently owe salary or forever hold ur peace.

kwara united, sunshine stars(dia own bad), iufc, rangers. i know of the akure own up close.

BascoVanVeli:
I watched the Super 6 on NTA and I must say I was not impressed. They didn't even have the time showing during the match and the commentator could not get one name right for the whole 90 minutes. 2009 was a big year for our local football and the NPFL missed heartland and I am glad they are back.

Commentary in npfl? big joke. But its hardwork too. Not only knowing names, but humor mixed with 'football poetry'.

"see the pass that he passed"-Victor Ikpeba(perhaps he was overwhelmed of expression)


I Alway pray for a repeat of that year.

BascoVanVeli:
I don't mind that I trust my team to show up

The year i followed the league like madt was the year Heartland FC and Kano Pillars made it to the CAF semis and TP Mazembe won that year. AIT aired it till end and see, i no go lie, i had to start getting expectant. Visitors to our home thought it was a barca, manu, chelsea match ongoing, but they were wrong. They both played 'sweet soccer' and that is why i still have Heartland etched in my head. Angered when i heard they got relegated, and i lost interest. Efe Efugh was my best to watch then asides Ike Thankgod. Then Gambo of Kano Pillars....all cos of AIT...if only that continued. My euro league friends could not just understand why i was even 'hyping' these 'mediocres'. I need a name to latch onto.

Twale to african parents!!

Ope was taught and so his parents were comfy when his female friends started visiting frequently, though they gave him 'the talk' on pregnancy.

His girl, younger than him told him to man up and get laid. A friend arranged for these sweet 16s, and they had sex... OPE is very cautious now, but getting laid is now like drugs. Good with words that rarely is he turned down. I no fit talk to am again cos he no go hear unlike when i was like 'big bro' to him. To make it worse, he now schools in ghana. I have him in my prayers sha. 22yrs and now a 'legend'

BascoVanVeli:
Ehn sister no talk am o!!!! Akwa united will be ready for the confederation cup mark my words.

i go follow up close.

Take one or two clubs and do documentary to be aired.. show how they relate, connect and create. each club should sell their brand, philosophy and managers also. If we don't upgrade to international standards of how a fc is, we would not play kpim at continental competitions. Now that's not progress. Cry all that the league is good now, but some logistics are just stil there. Overall, i twale for the LMC!! Now it lies with each club to make it way bigger. Club stores where fans can connect.... these are lil things that go a long way with Nigerian fans. Liamm i see thru the 'patriotism' too

Icon79:
I think the easiest way is to stop televising EPL and other foreign league matches in Nigeria ....


O pari

You like wahala sha

Jarus:
Thanks for the newbie award o.

Na the whole house o. lol.

soetanoreoluwa:
You are very right...

On your last statement what happened to private clubs that died long time ago... Julius Berger, Abiola babes, stationery stores and the likes... What happened to them?

It is true state govt her not putting all the got into the team rather use it for political agenda this is one of the reason they won't sell the

On pitches for past three season now all NPFL teams have a very good pitch of you don't have a good pitch LMC won't allow you to play in your home ground...

Think LMC should do more of repackaging and more awareness... We have one already, the deal with NTA and LMC... Let see what will happen..

We just need to be patience better days for the league are coming soon..

Your head dey there!! Even our league needs restructuring... Its a national problem afterall!!

Finances, packaging, club philosophy, stats collation, discipline up close and league-wise, community relations, travelling arrangements.

Exactly my point@ bascovanveli!! How definite are you that the collecting of half a milla is consistent?


Those in charge ruined it. IUFC owed players too, so its not about having the cash, but the discipline to keep paying. Oga come watch hin team, and tv caught him chasing another player to beat him up!!! Jizos is lawd!!

League should sit down and see if the 20teams have a budget, cash at hand to execute half a season, or take action. Its why crystal palace play in the epl asides the cash given them for promotion. Set pillars in place, and watch the structure go up to skyscraper length&strength

Next, relate with the home community where the stadium is. Give kids jerseys, organize mini-tourney and reward the talents in insurance ways. Then set a time to come watch a big game and cheer the team. These acts above can win them over anyway.

Kogi stadium is situated in a sparse area. How does that help the home team?

As for discipline, stadium conduct, obeying club rules, etc that is far fetched till ogas at the top ensure independent bodies to play their roles unhindered. Make rules that ensure anyone that assaults a ref is a scapegoat for the entire season. Connect this to their profile when foreign clubs come to get them and watch unruly behaviour reduce. I can go on. But the govt remains a large, giant problem of why our league is unsellable to even nigerians. This rot started in 2002/3.

BascoVanVeli:
We have a few NPFL teams on the stock market but lets be honest here the government isn't the problem here. It is no their fault that fans are at viewing centers instead of stadiums.

I beg to differ. Reason being that based on years ago, salary structure was wacky. Thug hiring was rampant, and discipline, club philosophy were absent. The reason the tanzanian women's league is fast growing is cos there is a healthy, consistent benchmark of salary payment. That alone is the attraction to sec school graduates to turn pro over there in tanzania instead of going to university.

Its small, but consistent. Now how is that not totally assuring and relaxing to hear?! We both know we have a sh!ty salary structure in the npfl. 70k/week, and you wont smell beta alert for 7months?

Let govt hand ova to private and watch how running clubs as profit-org wont make lots of mishap fall in place.

FM seem to have pogba programmed to get a red card in critical stages of a game. lol.

Ahmad is just saying what he supposed to say earlier. So all dem foreign born/based african footballers' supporters, the gauntlet have been opened. ratings are useless now. Mamelodi sundown star can now be tagged better than epl africans. quite good, mixed move!
