The 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship, known as the 1995 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Youth Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 10th edition of the FIFA World Youth Championship. It was held in Qatar from 13 to 28 April 1995. The tournament took place in three venues within the city of Doha. The tournament was originally going to be held in Nigeria. Due to a meningitis outbreak, however, Nigeria withdrew from hosting duties and FIFA relocated the event to Qatar.

Mynd44:
1. Nigeria 95 held and it was won by Cameroon
2. Atlanta 96 and France 98 were FIFA events not CAF. CAF can't ban you from FIFA events

Nigeria won't swing into action now o.it is when they close their borders they'd start forming rescue mission

They don't understand that nobody loves an arrogant person who oversteps his boundaries. It's one thing to be considered arrogant and keep to yourself and another thing to overstep your boundaries.
Even a proud man hates another proud man but secretly admires the humble.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
God bless you, Putin online dogs will perish along with him, only reason why I'm supporting Ucrainians is Russian unnecessary bullying, I have this, I have that, I will destroy you! Na only you have power? It's like abled strong man seen beating a crippled man, all the passerby watching will gather beat the strong man, Mob action against Russian will be terrible that's what Putin supporters should understand.

See as you just spoil the sensible comment with "ipob pigs" . Omase o

LeoDeKing:
Seems US planning something.

Just thinking aloud though.

With this, Nigerians in Russia need to start thinking of coming home.

Note, I said Nigerians.

Before ipob pigs start considering me for peppersoup. Cos a typical ipob pig will tell you he rather be a stone in obodo oyibo than moving to biafla.

But you and I know that wasn't why Nigeria abstained in 1996.Abacha was only being vindictive.I hope you didn't forget Nigeria '95 that didn't hold?

You also forgot to tell us why Nigeria was allowed in Atlanta'96 and France '98.

Anyways, I'm just imagining if Russia was a black nation and this was done to them.I know say the "racism choir" would have released an album by now.

Mynd44:
In 1996, the Nigerian government refused to to go to AFCON because of the racial discrimination against black South Africans, CAF a subsidiary of the FIFA franchise did not view it as a valid reason but went ahead to ban Nigeria from the 1998 edition.

FIFA has a policy; politics and football should not mix else you will get a fine maybe this only applies to certain people as everyone is watching FIFA. If these countries refuse to play against Russia and are not sanctioned, then FIFA has a lot of explaining to do

You don't get it,do you? Putin won't have tried this nonsense. No one fears Biden simple.
People were shouting Trump would cause WW3 but how many wars happened under him?He took decisions that would have even caused wars but the so-called superpowers respected themselves.
Biden is an example of a man who has power but lacks wisdom.

BERNIMOORE:
What difference, America would have gone to war with Russia, 2 supper powers with nuclear weapons that can turn more than half of the planet to ashes....you guys are trying in reasoning sha

Abeg leave dem..maybe puppet get another meaning we don't know

Jeezuzpick:
If he is Putin's puppet, how come Putin wasn't doing anyhow when he was POTUS?

They don't like him because he says the Truth and does so fearlessly.

foleskay:
Lol.. Don't know the problem of those buharists with Trump? Asif hes d cause of their master failure. Even when trump was praising d Ukrainian president,calling him brave and condeming biden and NATO chiefs for allowing Russia invasion,still dem still blaming Trump. So he shouldn't talk again cos hes not an ex president. Trump still has a cult followers in d US and I see him defeating Biden if he re contest.

You dey mind dem...dem think say na to dey speak oyinbo upandan for NL.imagine somebody saying Biden was smart to avoid whatever but he was the one edging Zelenky on and warning Russia but when Putin made good his threat, He abandoned them.

If he was truly a man of peace, he would have dissuaded Zelensky from being confrontational to Oga Putin.

Nadeol:
Under whose Presidency did the U.S. lose its respect and became a laughing stock amongst the comity of nations?

The answer is a no-brainer.

Some no even understand wetin Trump dey talk..dem just dey comment.
Trump is simply blaming Biden and NATO for allowing Putin outsmart them.
O sope Putin n lu Biden bi ilu bara.

I wonder why people can't ask questions. Does it look like it was offering time? From what I can see in the video, the service had ended and people were going home.
The guy wasn't badly dressed so that tori no add up.I sense he went to report a matter and it seemed he wasnt favoured so became violent that was why he was escorted out by the security.

Before you start pouring out your opinion. Did you watch the video? Is it true he was sent out for those reasons?Let's not be quick to judge

Ocholu:
Let me be real with you OP;

It's only in Nigeria this kinda shít happens. A so-called pastor who God didn't call, but he, rather called God would open a church for business.

To them is business. The always pray for Sundays and month ends. Sundays for offering and Month end for tithes.

I mostly don't take these so-called pastors serious. I've done business with many of them and the outcome is nothing to write home about.

Jesus Christ the son of God, his Disciples and the Prophets all fed the poor. But in this present Nigerian dispensation, na poor people the feed pastors.

heniford2:
damn shut up have you seen Western crazy side of entertainment most u demonize stuff why??

The shut up no necessary. Just talk your own, we go read am too.

M'ole rerin o... @ the bolded

Mo4ever:
So Russians are not out for a full scale attack abi, it's like you have been getting your own news from alaroye or from your dreams because Putin himself called this attack a FULL SCALE INVASION, someone is considering using nuclear weapon as the next step and you are here saying it's not full scale, shiorrr, it's half scale right! Lolz... Some novices even said Ukraine will fall latest Sunday, it's Sunday already o, Na Russian tanks dey blow and they are being repelled... As for those saying the news are not real, abeg shey you will go there to help us confirm, cuz the way I see it, we all really on news, so if you believe the news are fake, then shut up and stop creating your own news cuz you ain't there.

As much as everyone loves peace, one thing you need to understand is no matter how powerful you are the most dangerous man to fight is a man that is prepared to die. Once the Ukrainians decide to fight, Russia go surprise. Russians can only kill them once.
You can't predict when a war would end...many unexpected things can happen. That's why we need to avoid wars.

Need I remind you that strange inventions come up during war. Russia only knows what they have and have been boasting. Pride goes before a fall

Guyman02:
Too much western propaganda, Russia has not started real war with Ukraine

Your questions are legit but many of the Christians in those nations would do same.Missionaries have been doing this for Africa even before we embraced Christianity.
Besides, the common man in the West would start a protest that would force their government to intervene.
Good people are everywhere irrespective of Color

ifytrik:
I think Africans are the most kind hearted and loving people in the world, the way we are praying for Ukraine has got me asking this questions
(1) If it was two Africa nations fighting each other will Ukrainians give a 4uck?
(2) Is this not the same Ukraine that the federal government once warned Nigerians not to travel to as they were killing black students?
Well I think Africans naturally have Golding hearts, even as am typing this, all my friends and I are seriously praying for Ukraine and I still don't know why.
Well thank God for the good news

Is the answer not obvious? Those cheering Putin are doing so out of sheer hate for The U.S. They have repeatedly condemned them for their support for Israel and invasion of Muslim/Arab nations.
Anything that would emasculate America for them, is welcome.
Forget the explanations justifying the invasion. Wait for Israel to invade a neighboring Arab country with the same excuse Russia is giving, then see them change their songs.

Poopypants:
I don’t think most Nairalanders know what these sanctions , Biden got world leaders that can’t even agree on a cup of coffee to agree in sanctioning Putin . Biden reported about this invasion before it was a thing, and same people are about getting russia kicked out of SWIFT.

1 dollar was worth 76 Russian rubble last week but currently today its worth 83 Russian rubble to a dollar, and the sanctions haven’t even really kicked in yet. You Nairaland urchins keep praising Putin not realizing he is loosing massively . His last card is nuclear weapon, and that will be his demise/death. So I ask again to the idiots shilling this guy, how is Putin winning this in anyway, what’s he doing to warrant that stupid supports he gets only here on Nairaland by few Nigerians in nigeria?

Na so you understand am?

GloriousGbola:
You are still saying the same thing.

Reno is a pussy. A noisemaking one.

You sabi wia Reno dey live before GEJ dem call am?
FFK is not the same as Reno The latter seems to be loyal to GEJ unlike FFK who is unstable.
Deji na like baba isale that thrives on street protests. I don't think the government considers him a threat too.Remember, his fallout with CharlyBoy? No be money mata? Fayose na grassroots man and he doesn't have any reason to run now.

GloriousGbola:
this is mean!

and true

even noisemakers like ffk, deji adeyanju, fayose all siddon for naija
renowanker the noisemaker ran like a biatch

FFK wey dey talk. Sebi you too no allow SnowWhyte(Oyinbo) enta ur border.
She too fit accuse you of racism.

Abi na your preference for yellow ladies to black ladies?
Is that not discrimination too

Bros, did it occur to you that if the same thing was done to those white men it won't be termed racism?Some blacks have escaped while some Ukrainians are still struggling to leave.

Dikaveli:
The most useless people here are those siding reno and reno himself

So other white nationals leaving are not there for studies and greener pastures like black skin people

But las las na wetin we Africans want we they see

You can easily tell a Lagosian.Always in a hurry.
I remember an incidence many years ago.I and my fellowship president were returning from housefellowship and we needed to take a cab.Unfortunately, there were no cabs.So my fellowship president who was apparently worried I may not be able to rush because of my cool nature started psyching me up and threatened to leave me if I fail to enter.I just dey laff am for my mind.Me wey grow up for Lagos and you wey live for omuo-ekiti ...for this akure?
He was shocked how I got into the cab.Infact, I had entered long before he could enter.While he was struggling with others, I don enter through the back of the cab dey wait dem.When the car started moving, I could hear him saying "this gentle boy still couldn't enter" . He was shocked when I tapped his shoulder from behind few seconds into the journey

Olatara:
You are right. Firsthand experience when I went to visit my uncle in Nasarawa.

My northern friend said, he wants to work is transfer back to Abuja, because Lagos can drive one crazy.

NLanders are quick to comment.Though, very commendable this won't happen if they don't have confidence in the administrators or if they sense serious threat.
Ever seen a lady holding her breasts from dangling carelessly when she is running from danger?
Humans are the same everywhere and these Ukrainians would do worse than Nigerians if they face half the wahala Nigerians face.
I said worse because most Nigerians have adapted to this rugged way of life unlike them.
Let's stop rating people based on race.

Imagine what would happen, if there are just 20 people to pass through the border and it's survival of the fittest? You'll understand that they are not different from Nigerians.
Go to Akure or other cities in Nigeria then you'll see that they don't rush buses like lagosians.Same Nigerians but different environments/conditioning.

Check the protesters well, I doubt you'll see up to 50black people.Someone said Russia is a freer nation.if this was true, more black people would be protesting, if not for anything, for the Africans stranded at the Ukrainian borders.
Our own na to dey tweet about racism.

Wia you don see Nigerian police arrest even 1000 protesters? Na killing be dia own specialization

LeoDeKing:
And I thought is only in Nigeria protesters are arrested.

It's easy to stereotype. But it's the same Ukraine where Dr.Sunday Adelaja pastored the largest church in Europe where more than 95% are Ukrainians.

The problem with these narratives is that when they were enjoying those "racist" country, they'd not talk.

Godfullsam:
Although most whites have an atom of racism in them even though most of them pretend to be civilised.

But you see these Russians, Ukrainians, polish and Chinese? They are racist by default.
Their hatred for the blacks is second to none.

Instead of praying for Ukraine, pls pray for the Nigerians and Africans in Ukraine

Why cherrypick only bad incidents?
There's no gainsaying that most of our mothers weren't as educated as all these ladies, they were more prepared for marriage.

If anything, this incident should teach those going into marriage, that marriage isn't preserved by just your ability to provide for your spouse.

Simran94:
Cc derecho
I am sure you are of the people who would say that our mothers survived worse, so why can’t this new generation of women do same? Can you see where surviving worse is landing some women? She fed him, clothe him and yet…

I tried to skim through your reply and I found out you don't know the Truth.So seniority in the military is a function of how many you are in the military? Oh , they voted abi?
Won ti soro, you don dey compare the Ore issue with The Russia and Ukraine palaver. Try to think na..

As per the Ironsi and the cause of the war, go and find out the Truth.
Eni to pitan fun e ti paro fun e.

That gimmick of labelling me won't work ore.The truth is my concern before even analysis.
I'm hesitant to explain to you what happened.I wanted you to find out by yourself but it's clear you just want parrot a narrative that tribalists told you and you expect every Yoruba to be a bigot like you.
I understand you're being emotional , no thanks to the halftruths you've been fed with. But to engage in a discuss like this, you must be man enough to seek the Truth and ask questions. It's not a Yoruba-igbo discuss as you're making it appear.
It's even baffling that you think every Yoruba would think like you. Except, of course, you want to give a false impression that Yorubas are bigots.
So what would you do if you are igbo?Definitely, you'll be leading IPOB.You would even kill tons of your igbo brothers who refuse to join.

Abi you thinks say na every ibo man think/talk like Nnamdi Kanu? Stop disgracing Yorubas with this mindset.
Oun toti sele ti sele and can't be undone. However, we owe our posterity the Truth if we intend to forestall that sad event...

Nobody is dissuading you from being a Yoruba/ethnic defender but I'd rather defend the Truth. My philosophy is beyond tribe or race.I see humans.

codemaniacs:
Yorubas were never fewer in the Nigerian army.. If Yorubas were fewer then how come Nzeogwu's superior officer was Yoruba

the reason Ig:bos were at Ore is simply to do what Russia is trying to do to Ukraine.. Igbos wanted to annex Yoruba region.. Igbos at that time never ever wanted to secede they wanted to control all the regions..

After Ironsi's coup, he could have seceded but he didn't instead he abolished regionalism and put Unitary system of government which ensure every revenue goes to Central government.

It was after Ironsi was killed, that Ojukwu started screaming secession because all the funds were now going to FG and it meant the eastern region was now worse off than it was before 1966 and even in the secession they still wanted to annex the Yoruba region..

you are the one that's indifferent to the killing of Yorubas not me..

you're an Igbo bigot...

Uhn? O sa n run gbogbo e papo.Ku'se.i'll advice you to find out the Truth and ask questions.
Ask yourself why the igbos want to secede? Wetin dem find go Ore? Was there any need?
Was there a pact with the Yorubas who at the time were fewer in the army? Was the war necessary?
The Nzeogwu yoruba massacre and coup daubed "Igbo coup", when did it happen? When did the Civil war begin?At least, you can find out and correctly piece the Truth together.

And please stop all this blackmail of being indifferent to the killing of Yorubas.Let's stay on The issue pls.

Other things are just addition

codemaniacs:
they also attacked Ore, for them to attack Ore means they also attacked the Binis but you don't hear the Binis screaming marginalization.


as long as people like you who don't see anything wrong in killing people of a different ethnicity than you are still alive then I have to continue to protect myself and ethnicity and there are millions like you..

I am not bitter against the I:gbos and I don't stereotype people.. I profile people..

I know and accept that people will put their ethnicity first but people like you call it bitterness when you meet someone who put their own ethnicity and interests first and that's greedy and evil of you.

people like you that cannot condemn your fellow igbo men for killing yoruba indiscriminately that are filled with bitterness and the fact that you're even saying "assuming it actually happened" shows your bias, bitterness and hatred towards Yoruba people..

you even started speaking Yoruba just to deflect and you also started hiding behind the "They're good and bad people everywhere" excuse..

you're a stone cold violent Igbo supremacist ...

Nigerians and comedy. Buhari sef go dey laff
@Op you forgot to add that MACBAN and Miyetti Allah would no longer support Putin

OK o.
All I'm saying is don't be bitter against the igbos( a whole tribe) because of a few soldiers assuming it actually happened.And don't stereotype people. They're good and bad people everywhere.

Ko ju be lo

codemaniacs:
you're the one who needs to change mentality because you don't see anything wrong in an I:gbo soldier killing Yorubas indiscriminately.

Ope o...Sunday Adelaja don escape from Ukraine o
