Nwosu named Golden Eaglets’ coach

The Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after a special meeting in Abuja yesterday appointed former Super Eagles captain Henry Nwosu (MON) as the new coach of the U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets.



Nwosu recently assisted Samson Siasia in piloting the Dream Team to the final of the football event at Beijing 2008 where the team lost 1-0 to Argentina.

He will now replace Alphonsus Dike who lost his job in the wake of the Eaglets’ 3-0 scandalous defeat by Republic of Benin and subsequent elimination from the African U-17 Championship which holds next year in Algeria.

Nwosu’s main brief now is to groom a new team for the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals which Nigeria will hold next year.

The former Asec Mimosas of midfielder will be assisted in the new task by Monday Odigie and Abimbola Samuel while Suleiman Shuaibu is the goalkeeper trainer.

Dike’s job had been placed on the line following his team’s uninspiring 3-2 aggregate loss to the Baby Squirrels about two weeks ago.

The committee also retained Joseph Ladipo (Jossy Lad) who was in charge when the Super Falcons failed to soar at the Beijing 2008 as the Chief Coach.

However, the former 3SC coach will have on the technical crew Eucharia Uche, Egan Adat as assistant coaches as well as former international goalkeeper, Ann Chiejine as the goalkeeper trainer.

Francis Akpata was named the goalkeeper trainer for the U-20 Women’s team.

Another far reaching decision by the board was the appointment of former Super Eagles Head Coach and member of FIFA Technical Committee, Adegboye Onigbinde as the Technical Consultant to the federation.

This alek Wek sef . . . Grin Was she passed through an oven?

This is downright cruel.

This is becoming a common occurrence.
Maybe . . . just maybe. . . it's because that is what guys base their egos on.
It's a good strategy though.

Beautiful strategy.

Nigerian men prefer to take a closer look at their beer bottles than their wives.

Husbands have you taken a good look at your wives lately?!

SHOULD the romance in a marriage stop after the birth of a few kids? Forget slaving to put food on the table, pay the rent and put a sizeable sum of money aside for the kids education.

The question is: When last did you give your wife a complete ‘MOT’, just as often as you do that priced car(s) of yours? What brought on this thought-provoking poser is the recent experience Linda confessed she was elated she had. She just turned 40 but said sadly she couldn’t remember the last time her husband made proper love to her.

“After almost 14 years of marriage” she continued, “I’d put on some weight especially when I had our fourth child. Dare, my husband had gone bald and the most exciting thing we did was share the occasional take-away treats with the kids.

Sex was virtually non-existent, just a quickie every other week.

“I was at a classmate's 40th birthday party when a friend I hadn’t seen for years looked shocked to see me. ‘Why have you put on so much weight?’ She squealed, ‘you used to be a stunner.

What happened to you?' I felt a bit embarrassed. I had put on quite a lot of weight alright, what with the huge meals I shared with Dare, and scoffing the kids’ often left-overs so food wouldn’t be wasted. But did she have to be that blunt? Her criticism stayed with me for days.

Friends I saw regularly couldn’t be as outspoken as she was for fear of hurting my feelings. Thanks to her, I took a good look at myself in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw. I vowed to give myself a health overhaul before my birthday. So, I ditched all the stodgy food and cut down on the portions I eat.

I also started taking the staircase to my fourth floor office. At first it was hard but by the time my birthday loomed, the improvement was awesome. My critic of a friend had even visited, bringing me some cosmetic stuffs to ‘tone’ my skin and I’d bought lots more.

Thanks to her, I now looked a million-dollars! ‘Only whenever I asked Dare how I looked, he’d just glowered and muttered ‘nice’ without even taking a proper look at me.

I knew I looked and felt fantastic. If he didn’t appreciate the way I looked, maybe someone else would. A few days after my well-attended 40th birthday party, a friend invited me to a party. Her elder brother just had a son after two girls and he was throwing the bash to ‘wet’ the head of the baby.

His wife was still abroad and I reckoned it would be a 'let it all hand out’ party now the cat was away. I didn’t let on to Dare that the wife was still expected or he might want to come to keep me in check. As it was, he was super-glued to Super Sports, on the telly, drooling at the Olympic games. When I was dressed and ready to go, he was too relieved to be left alone to get on with his fun.

But he really looked startled when he saw my outfit. I quickly left to join my friend who was impatiently hooting the car horn and I had conveniently forgot to put on my wedding ring.

A wedding ring is always a dampner if you want to have fun. Men would just asume you’re either single, divorced or widowed!

“The party was a lively one and in my group was this cocky television journalist happily controlling the flow of the conversation. I challenged his views from time to time and he took notice of me, with his eyes roaming all over my body. I flirted right back - it felt great to have a man’s attention after all these years of grumpy Dare. When he asked me to dance, I jumped at the offer.

We swayed slowly to the haunting music, our hips locked together with my body pressing into his firm chest. He was tall and in his 30s and I was loving every minute with this well built hunk.

My friend was watching with a big smile on her face - as if she was taking the credit for who I’d now turned out to be. I was now slighty tipsy and as my hand rested on his tight bum, he pulled me closer to him and an electric shock went through me.

His name was Ade and after we finished dancing, he got a bottle of wine and we talked some more. He told me about a project he was into and offered to show me the progress he’d made if I could come with him to his car. Clinging onto what looked like my conquest, I let him lead me out of the party and smiled defiantly at the shocked look on my friend’s face.

“The car was a bit of a clap-trap. Not the most glamorous setting for betrayal but I was far too wound up to care. As soon as we got to the back seat where the supposed ‘project’ was we were all over each other. He pulled up my long kaftan and was on top of me, the car seats rough against my bare bum. Unfortunately, his prowess didn’t actually match his big mouth.

He wasn’t the gentlest of lovers and he pawed at my boobs like a bush man. But none of that mattered. This was purely about proving to myself I was desirable and I felt deliciously wanton and sexy! When we returned to the party, nobody seemed to notice anything - except for my nosey-parker friend who just kept on giving me curious glances. Only, Ade and I sat together but had very little to say to each other. We’d both got what we wanted and there was nothing else to say.

“On our way back home, my friend asked me what happened when we went out, and I told her. She wasn’t a prude but wanted to know if what I’d just done made me feel guilty. I told her it did, but not in the way she meant. I felt bad for not feeling guilty enough not to want to try it again. For the first time in my marriage, I’d just cheated on my husband, had a wild romp with a complete stranger in a crummy car, yet I felt great!

The only time I felt slightly guilty was when I let myself in Discovered Dare was already in the bedroom. I quickly had a rinse in the guest toilet before going to meet Dare.

“He didn’t even bother to ask if I’d had an enjoyable evening. Instead, he was boring me with details of the highlights of the Games. I was furious and I’ve since resolved that the next time I’m invited to a party and I’m propositioned, there will be a good chance I’ll say yes, especially if Dare wouldn’t be coming.

I’m definitely not over the hill at 40 and I owe it to myself to find my own excitement anywhere and anytime I can get it, ” As you make readers read this, take a second look at your wife.

When was the last time you ‘rang her bell’ in spite of all the hints she gave you? A word is sufficient for the wise.

[size=14pt]National Shame! Nigerian envoy in public fight …@ a party in Namibia [/size]
Sunday, September 28, 2008

THE Nigerian High Commissioner to Namibia, His Excellency Ambassador Prince Adegboyega Christopher Ariyo, shocked guests when he initiated a fistfight at a high profile gala dinner, attended by Namibian and Nigerian dignitaries for busines networking.



The fight at the gala dinner-turned-boxing-match, erupted when Ambassador Ariyo physically booted fellow Nigerian citizen and Windhoek resident, Debo Ogunbiyi, from the Safari Hotel and Conference Centre last Wednesday, claiming that he was not invited.

Efforts by Ogunbiyi to explain to the Ambassador that co-organiser of the event, the Association of Nigerians in Namibia, had invited him to the function, proved fruitless. Seething with anger, the Ambassador, allegedly grabbed Ogunbiyi pushed him to the floor and pinned him down whilst pummelling him.

Stunned guests including officials from the Namibian Ministries of Finance, Information and Technolgy and Education, and their Nigerian counterparts including some Nigerian State governors, watched in disbelief as Embassy Staff rushed to pull their Ambassador off Ogunbiyi.

Despite being overpowered by the combined efforts of His Excellency, Prince Ariyo and the Embassy Staff, Ogunbiyi managed to throw a few punches in the air before fleeing the scene.

Ambassador Ariyo confirmed that he kicked Ogunbiyi, whom he recognised as a Nigerian citizen at the event, claiming that he had been in the wrong place.

“I had important people including Ambassadors at the event, and I could not keep him. This was an event organised by the High Commission and I made provisions for only 80 people, and he was not invited,” he said.

An official of the Association of Nigerians in Namibia, who witnessed the incident, confirmed that Ogunbiyi was invited.

“For the first time, I hate being a Nigerian – and for the Ambassador and Embassy Staff to physically remove me from the event – shame on them,” Ogunbiyi fumed.

Ogunbiyi said he attended the event not for fun but rather to network and check on opportunities available.

“What’s wrong with a Nigerian attending an event organised using Nigerian taxpayer’s money. Is my Embassy, an institution that’s supposed to protect me, now telling me that I cannot meet with my fellow citizens?”

The following Thursday when Ogunbiyi went to the Windhoek Police Station to report the case, he said that the police turned him away, claiming that the Ambassador enjoys diplomatic immunity and therefore cannot be prosecuted.

According to Sunday Sun findings, this is not the first time Ambassador Ariyo had caused public embarrassment for his country. In an earlier Informante expose, he was reported as one of the ‘dozing diplomats and politicians’ during President Hifikepunye Pohamba’s important and legislated State of the Nation address to Parliament.

Before going to press there were several attempts by the victim, Ogunbiyi, and officials of the Association of Nigerians in Nambibia to gag the story. They claimed that an urgent meeting with the Ambassador was held where “the matter has been solved.”

Shocked maybe i have problems with my eyes but that woman looks old and tired.

She looks like Lucifer's younger sister.

I went to Christ embassy yesterday for Sunday service and it was nice but there is some religious practice they do there that baffles me. It's called sowing in the word. Sowing in the word literally means that when a pastor makes a statement that really touched you, you can walk towards the pulpit with a check/money enclosed in an envelope. This is different from your tithe or normal Sunday collection. The person that invited me told me that it's not compulsory like the tithe but it's in appreciation for the way that particular comment from the pastor inspired you.

Have you heard of this practice before please? Is it biblical?

Is there any chance that those that sighted the moon might fabricate it just to end the hunger strike? What about muslims in America like Olabowale where the moon is yet to be seen, will they continue their fasting pending on when the moon appears or will they join Nigerians in celebrating the end of hunger strike?

Is your soul trapped in your body, now? It is Allah's will that he hears the good wishes of his community on him. Was the soul of Jesus trapped in space, while he was transported in full, still alive? It was also Allah's will on him. In the case of Muhammad (AS), the answer to your question is no. Same thing applied to Isa bin Mariam's transport from earth!

And I already answered your "doing what there, and, thought he has been released to God?" questions. There are plenty of things we humans need to know.You need to know, too!

Jesus ascended into heaven body and soul. He is not like mohammed that died and was buried in mecca just like they buried Adedibu.

I think mdsocks may have been correct in his analysis of you. Get away from those Dominatrix mindset! You are a Yoruba girl. Oun to yeu lafi weu. Aa ki nba omoluwabi, onile olono nibi tio daa. America is prt of the earth of Allah!

I just asked you a question and you resort to bashing. I cannot bash here b/c I don't have the license to this section. mind yourselfooo. If I'm a dominatrix, is it your business? Am I dominating you?

The only question begging for answer is: Who is more stupid. . . . . The Poster or the those involved with the subject matter?

I'm thinking Pataki is more daft.

Cute. Is this an itsekiri gurl?

These pictures are not real. Too much make up. Post Iman's natural pictures and not just some half iman, half make up image.

How can you understand when you are in denial? Just don't laugh to death sha Grin

and a person doesnt have to be "yellow" to be pretty. A "yellow" Iyabo? Lmao even worse.

Same way you had a problem with the women Ruby put up claiming "yellow eyes, blah blah", I feel the same about the thief Iyabo. Get over it

Definition of beauty varies. You are now calling her a thief over just an accusation by EFCC. I can understand if you are criticizing her character but trying to merge her character with her physical beauty is just gross. As far as am concerned, Iyabo is a queen. You can commit suicide if you don't like it. As a matter of fact, she no even send you or what you think about her. There are so many Nigerian men dying to kiss her feet.

@ DeepZone
Lmao! Me a tribalist? Hare you looking for somebody to join your haboki ating parry? Oney, the day hi hincite ate hand hanger hon hanother uman being with my words like you do ere heveryday, his the day you can call me a tribalist, Huntil then henjoy your position as the ead tribalist, stateist, languageist hand whatever hist you can hadd to the list.

God knows I love the hausas. I just hate the activities of their few elites in our national business.

All These tribalist shit is one of the main reason Nigeria is where it is today.

So true.

Hi hagree with this topic. Yorubas hare the most heducated of hall the tribes hin Nigeria. The way they talk his sweet hin my hears, when they come to my ouse, I like to sit down on my cusin siar hand liszen to them talk hall day, hespecially when we have sicken. . . fried sicken not roasted and minerals.

Hour talks range from Hintellectual like the philosophy of Haristotle hand Enything with Harithmetic to the Hordinary like Harmani, Esh & Ehm dezigns. Hi can't cunt the amunt of time they make me laugh with their himpressive knowledge hof hall they know.

They know Heverything, Heverything I say!

Ow Hi love the Yorubas.

Here the tribalists come again making mockery of the yoruba accent as if they are just joking. you and I know that there is an understone in that joke. Lay it off abeg.

iF hilda is just "there" then why did you bother posting her pic? Always with the whole talking from both sides of your mouth, Funmi. It's quite retarded. Definitely NOT going to listen to what you have to say about Hilda when you are in denial that Iyabo is disgusting. Both in and out. Ole jati jati. The hausa girl's pic didnt show when i made my comment. She's IS pretty.

Honestly I just understand this hatred. Iyabo is like every other African/black woman walking the street. She may not be a beauty pageant but she's just there just like Hilda is just there. Because Hilda is yellow doesn't mean she's more beautiful than Iyabo. I'll definitely take Iyabo anyday.

I can't help but laugh at your name calling. I am yet to discover how you determined that Iyabo is disgusting.

@Deepzone
Eranko ni e!! I dey pity your future husband

Why? o ti ya weree.

Ini Edo earns more than Olu jacobs? something is wrong with that picture.

[img]http://Funmi Iyanda is a true beautiful woman from naija.[/img]

Yes yes yes. In short, I've never in my life seen any Funmi that is ugly. Never. Funmi's are always hot and tight.

You people have successfully ruined this thread with wowo

lmfao @ Iyabo. ugh

only one i agree with in this "last batch" is Hilda Dokunbo. She should come back to Nollywood

On iyabo: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If she is not preety, Mr Bello wouldn't have married her. Again, the prettiest woman on this page is the hausa girl and not Hilda. Hilda is just there and not that preety.

abi ohh!!!
meanwhile, Deepzone and ikeyman00 should try and legalize their romance on NL since one can not drink
water without the other tasting it

When did DeepZone enter this conversation? These northerners should leave me aloneooo.

@McUsman, which of them be hausa? The shoe shiner or the graduate of college of education? They don't teach y'all how to wear academic hood properly in the north?

Very preety girl.
