I'd try to..
Am from umuaku..
I know amuda
U are even my brother

Do you know Achara's family in Umuaku? Also do you know one Mr. Mgbeobu who was a headmaster?

What a con job. The crude oil rig was fabricated in Lagos thereby creating jobs for the loudmouths in southwestern Nigeria. Yet it will be used to extract crude oil in Niger Delta. No wonder certain jackasses in Nigeria will readily develop convulsion at the slight mention of disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria.

Guest Blog: The 'Killer Instinct' in Asisat Oshoala.
Whenever the media celebrate Nigerian players, it gets into their head, they start bluffing when perfectly created by the media, girls will roll their eyes and flick their braids while the guys pierce their ears and paint their hair, sag their trousers, forgetting that sagging originally starts from prison.
No doubt a lot has been written about Asisat Lamina Oshoala AKA SuperZee or Seedorf whom I met physically for the first time this year at the National stadium in Abuja having admired her prowess from TV and Youtube.
As a Liverpool Football Club ardent Fan, I want to say this 20 year old striker is skillful, lucky and a record maker, being the first African player to ever play in the English women league. She is a goal net killer with her skill, talents and team spirit which I hope she can sustain and not get carried away by fame.
Her success story is a great one for women football in Africa, she has on several occasions professed her love and commitment to football and it apparently worked for her. Nightmare, tormentor and destroyer of defenders and goalkeepers.
Oshoala in her unique way knows how to always find the back of the net and she always smash it. She has built herself into a brand in the mode of a ferocious, furious and prolific striker within a short period of time. A made in Nigeria, conquering Europe.
A young achiever, savvy, strong, black and beautiful were the words amongst others to describe the African finest Female Footballer, she however was nominated for the inaugural BBC Women Footballer of the year.
Born and Bred in Lagos, and started playing football on the streets of Lagos, the highly talented 'tomboy' was discovered at an early age for her uniqueness, and was recently nominated for the prestigious BBC Womens footballer of the year, 2014 was indeed her year.
Having won the African Women's Footballer of the Year in 2014, African Women's Youth Player of the Year in 2014 and African Women's Championship, Golden ball and Golden boot at the FIFA U-20 Women's World in 2014, she will be the synosure of all eyes as she plans to rule the world.
Focus, concentration is all she needs I think she should take a clue from Cynthia Uwak who got distracted and fell out of her career, Perpetual Nkwocha is someone she should look up to as a model in the Falcons.
She needs to think of having kids and becoming a wife some day if she so wish, as someone who respect everyones' sexual orientation, I think Asisat may as well overcome lesbianism challenges which is the bane of women's football, however, the last thing she need is any form of distraction while planning for bigger years ahead.
Asisat said she dropped out of school for football, of course it can never be too late to enroll in some courses in UK, if there is no much time, why not grab an online course which is more flexible, she should make the money now, spend and also save for the raining days because nothing last forever.

The part of the bolded in the above post is totally irresponsible and a shameful falsehood only capable of coming from deluded Nigerian.

Nigeria would have been world champions in female football before now if such accomplishment depended on empty promises and silly postulations. Cameroon is already in Canada while Nigerians are still talking about organizing A-grade friendly match for the Falcons. I had to be very happy if Nigerian Falcons should emerge out of the group stage however I cannot knowingly bet my cent on such outcome.

I do not know the reason why certain Nigerians chose to be irredeemable super fools. Few Yarabo peeps tend to gravitate towards what they do best, thus, conjure silly craps. Like the jackass who initiated this post with idiotic sketches written by an overfed low life neither were in Biafra during the war nor in corridor of power in Nigeria. Yet the dumbass had the effrontery to post junks.

The legendary Dede1 in his stupidity.

Tell him about those famous.tax collectors that usually harass anyone but ibos.

It takes one dullard to recognize the stupidity in another. You and your forbearers have been his tutors and bearers of falsehood. I guess you can lead him by the nose and tell him about the infamous tax collectors.

EBCO:
I am sorry to disappoint you guys, I am not in for this Biafra and Lower Niger thing, neither am I in for this cessation nonsense!

I will not be party to an institutionalized creation of smaller minorities within the minority.

Before we leap, don't forget: The Igbos used the instrumentality of government power to almost extinguish the other tribes and ethnic groups on this side of the Niger, during the reign of regional system of government; All schools were in Igbo land, even though the white man came through the sea; All commercial cities were in Igbo land even though the produces were from Etche, Ikwerre, Ogoni, Orashi, and ijaw lands; the rail system was conjured to start or terminate in the heart of Igbo land, even though they had no raw materials and sea ports; They forced the teaching of Igbo cultures and use of Igbo language in schools and churches and systematically almost exterminated the traces of other groups around this area; and when it was war time, they made the Niger Delta the battlefield.

The Ikwerre man loves to hate and cheat the Etche man even though we are brothers, the Ijaws think themselves alone as Niger Deltans, the Ogoni man continues to be used and dumped. So why should I willfully subject myself to yet another generation of slavery or be joined in a marriage bliss, or sex without mutual orgasm? What is in this breakaway for an Etchepian? Tell me why i should change my mind.

What I believe in and will continue to agitate for, is the kind of political goal congruence in the North and working at building a viable economic structure in the entire southern Nigeria. Politically, the entire south must realize that there is blessing in diversity. We must mobilise our diversity into a common political goal and support it with a strong economic base from the resources God has blessed us with- From Badagry to Bonny to Bakassi to Awka, we must form a political block with which we battle the North who have declared us infidels. It is an intellectual war, not a physical combat.

Biafra say, Biafra no say, Lower Niger say, upper Niger no say , all na the same thing! It is the same Ikwerre to Etche treatment!

I wash my hands off this treachery!

Writing from #1 Amadioha avenue, Etche.

The above post is a product of a deluded mind tutored to display quantum idiocy. There is no doubt the writer lacked the basics of home training. The capital accrued by eastern region mainly came from cool and palm produce. I know the lands of Etche, Ikwerre, Ogoni and Ijo, there were no commercial products home to these lands that helped to enlarge the coffers of eastern region yet Igwe Ocha Mbara Ama was meant to rival Lagos based on hints from eastern region developmental plans.

If you are afraid to become a minority in Biafra, you are entitled to remain a minority in Nigeria but do not offer silly advice to Ndiigbo who are determined to form a republic for Ndiigbo. Ndiigbo shall be homogeneously at home and majority in Republic of Igbo Land which will eliminate the major drawback found in Nigeria thus tribalism.

There was no school in eastern region of Nigeria that produced more prominent minority personalities than Government College, Umuahia. Ndiigbo did not introduced quota system where Igbo kids were given preference over kids from other ethnicities of the region. One wonders what formed the idiotic opinion that Igbo skewed the knowledge to Igbo people. I attended school in eastern region where the use of vernacular was even prohibited.

If the writer of the above post wishes to die in Nigeria, he could accomplish such a wish however he should not whip up blatant falsehood against Nidiigbo because he entered into covenant with his creator to die in Nigeria. Ndiigbo have been longing to ditch Nigeria and welcome Republic of Igbo Land.

BascoVanVeli:
Anybody can go with Oshoala except that number 7 girl from the under 20s i still don't know why she kicked an already goal bound ball, she cost us that trophy

The number 7 from U-20 is Loveth Ayila. In fact, I found her in the same picture as Halimat Ayinde.

darfay:
It would be the worst form of sucide for we the niger deltans to form an alignment with the easterners. One of the major reasons while this country is still together is that no single ethnic group has ABSOLUTE dominance over the affairs of the country now going with the igbos will spell doom for us because there will be just wan dominant tribe with absolute dominance over our reasources, niger deltans will be oppresed by the igbo economically,politically and what have you,what is happening to the igalas in anambra will be heaven compared to what would be the lot of niger deltans if we join biafra, from fry pan to fire then we begin our struggle all over, a war that cannot be won. It is high time we set our priorities right. Are we happy we the present nigeria, should the entire system be restructured, should we push for good governance and hold our leaders accountable,or should we go all out for a sovereign republic of niger delta. These are questions we ought to ask ourselves and see which wan is most achievable and then go all out for it not attaching ourselfes to Biafra.we have bigger head aches than that,what we need is a unique solution perculiar to our plight as niger deltans. NIGER DELTA PIKIN MAKE UNA HEAR WORD O

The above crap is one of most idiotic posts ever read on this forum. Why are most Nigerians inherently ashamed of their ethnicity? The last I checked though, there are Ndiigbo in the so-called Niger Delta. There is nothing I crave more than the realization of independent home that should be known as Republic of Igbo land. There is no right-thinking Igbo person that would want to have a so-called Niger Deltan as compatriot.

Gowon sounds moronic each time he ventures into the nuance of Nigeria/Biafra war. It seems to him that hell would have frozen if eastern region was allowed to cede. The situation in today’s Nigeria compels one to ask what has become good of One-Nigeria. Since 1966, Nigeria has continued to slide down the lane of perpetual regression.

This Adam Oshiomohole’ s wedding shenanigan is worse than corruption.

dodobytes:
Bro,this thread is for brainstorming,with our available players make ur permutations/formations to stop the USAWNT on the day.I am waiting for your input,nobody claims to know it all.

Which other player in the midfield recycles the ball more than Ayinde?..i dont know what you mean by weak and small,because that girl has shown that she has got heart.Would you rather have Ikidi as a full-back?..thats a big no-no.Ikidi should be at the heart of that defence thats her natural position

If you were Okon will you tell the team to just give up without a fight?

The Nigerian Falcons handlers have not released the team squad for Canada 2015 World Cup and it will amount to waste of the time to postulate. However, I watched the matches Nigeria played during the U-20 tournament in Canada and Ayinde was not impressive. I had rather have Osaranoma Igbinovia in her place. I would also employ the services of Chinwendu Ihezuo at the midfield.

CFCfan:
Ikidi may be slower, but I disagree that the Ebere is a weak link at left-back. She's pretty solid.
I see the sense in playing Ikidi at centre-back. Her height (and that of Onome) should keep the 5'11" Abby Wambach in check in aerial duels. And Wambach isn't exactly the quickest centre forward in the women's game.

Do you mean Ikidi listed at 5'-7" as having height? In fact, Ohale or Maryam Ibrahim, if she makes the team, should pair with Ebi at the center back. Ebi is not even athletic and may have issues checking USAWNT attackers. I may want Ikidi at the back line but center back.

CFCfan:
In the US game, you're spot on with 3 central midfielders. That would restrict the US to wings. Any crosses from there should be comfortably dealt with by both Onome and Ohale/Ikidi.

If the aforementioned lineup is billed against USAWNT, Nigeria will regret coming to Canada. Ayinde is weak and small. I do not know if Ofoegbu is even invited. However Nigerian Falcons have a big disconnect at the left-back position. Ikidi should be played in any back field except center-back against a team like the USAWNT.

dodobytes:
Guy,I had to read n re-read to understand ur point.Still can't grasp it quite clearly.

Firstly this team we talking about cruised to d cup at d AWC..qualified for d AAG,looking good for d Olympics and is looking like one of d best female teams we have assembled in a while.

Why shldnt d coach have his team already sorted,do u overhaul a winning team? You don't,u only tweak it for greater efficiency.

Nigeria is currently blazing in age grade competitions last time I checked,save for super eagles,our football is still respected.

This sounds typically Africans as resting on their oars. The teams the Falcons played in AWC and AAG qualifier are no the teams the Falcons will meet at the world cup. In fact, most the teams willing demolish the Nigerian Falcons are not from the African continent. If I say that Nigerian team is predictable, it is not far from the truth.

dodobytes:
Absolutely nothing wrong in insisting players n officials sign a code of conduct.

We have heard of teams holding d nation to ransome in the thick of tournaments.If dis code of conduct helps eliminate such incidents,n also protects d players, by all means I am all for it.

This will help teams focus on the football, instead of involving themselves in needless uprisings during tournaments dat serves us no good.

How does signing onto a worthless piece of paper stop players from asking for bonuses if owed? The players behaviors alleged in the above post can only be avoided if the silly officials from NFF keep to the promises made to the players. If the financial/social benefits promised to the players are not met, there will be protest of any sort by the players.

Shirley07:
Ibos fought no war just like the bokoharam never did!
Infact, the bokoharam were men with balls than the ibos because they never used poor children and women to cover their asses like the biafran did.
Bunch of good for nothing chest beating parasites!
Whatever you say about the yorubas, we all know as it's written in the historian books that we, yorubas put an end to you ibos' stupidity through the great scorpion, Adekunle's resilience and Awolowo's brilliant tactical acumen while your demented cursed Ojukwu ran like the eediot he is, in a woman attire to abidjan!
What a shameless cursed tribe! Shior!

Yoruba are very talented when it comes to running of the mouth. Only a demented Nigerian will think that Yoruba fought Biafra alone.

Sopono:
IBO or IGBO..the fact remains about my ethnic heritage..the important thing is that you should get the point am trying to make. Secession is not the solution to our problems. Let's channel our energies towards making Nigeria work...because the same devils dogging us now will still follow Biafra or whatever new name we adopt if we fail to address the issues intrinsically..and i think it will be more constructive to engage people intellectually rather than resort to name calling and insults..

Nigeria has been over-populated with dingbats as such that all indicators show it will never work. Any energy spent on the workability of Nigeria is a wasted one. By the way, Republic of Igbo land may not be a home for every jackass. Anybody who wanted to join or stay in Nigeria shall be free to do so. He or she will receive a load of goodbye from Ndiigbo.

sojas:
So your reasons of including the south-south is because of our oils? Come take am, mek we see.

There are fools and unfortunately they were born by a women. Would there be so-called south south if Republic of Igbo land stands to be recognized?

SeverusSnape:
For the first time, I agree with Mr. Jones. This donation is unnecessary, I believe it's just for show. He should have donated it here in Nigeria or one of these disease ravaged African countries.

I wasn't shocked though, Nigerian clergy men are something else, I expect Oyedepo to donate one of his jets to the Nigerian Air Force.

I guess the man of church donated the ambulance to the country when human beings are the inhabitants instead of Nigeria.

Ahead W/Cups: Falcons, F/Eagles to sign Code of Conduct.
…as Pinnick returns from medical trip
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, who on Tuesday, returned from a fourweek medical trip to the United Kingdom, yesterday, presided over an Executive Committee Meeting of the federation at which the proposal for national team players and coaches to henceforth sign a Code of Conduct was endorsed.
A communiqué of the sixth meeting of the NFF Executive Committee held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja and made available to our correspondent said the Flying Eagles currently training in Germany for the FIFA U-20 World Cup kicking-off in New Zealand on May 30 and the Super Falcons going for the Women’s World Cup in Canada next month, would be the first to sign the conduct code.
“In the interest of the nation and as a means of regulating the conduct of players and officials representing the country at any point in time, Committee endorsed a proposal for all players and officials of the National Teams to sign a Code of Conduct, starting with the contingent to the FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand and the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada,” the communiqué signed by the Chairman, NFF Media and Publicity Committee, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, said.
The meeting also resolved that elections into the boards of the various Leagues (Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women League and the Nigeria Nation-Wide League) should be conducted in November 2015, with the process to commence in August this year.
Also, going by the communiqué, the NFF will soon enact a regulation for the protection of players of the age-grade national teams and the establishment of NFF Youth Players Development Fund.
Finally, the NFF Board commended the untiring efforts of its President, Pinnick, in promoting Nigeria football at home and abroad, most recently in having very useful meetings with FIFA President, Sepp Blatter and Chairman of The English FA, Mr. Greg Dyke.

The requirement to sign code of conduct by players representing their country is moronic idea that bordered on culture of impunity. I had rather not play for Nigeria than sign an idiotic code of conduct. How much money are the goons in NFF paying the players to warrant this lack of trust endeavor.

Nigerians are very phony bunches. The FIFA Canada 2015 tournament is about to be played yet Nigerians are talking about which player has reported to the camp.

I had thought the Yoruba and all the ethnicities in the northern region will jump onto chorus that the Ndiigbo and their willing neighbors should have the Biafra or preferably Igbo for Republic of Igbo land. There is no doubt that the One-Nigeria goons were inherently deceptive when they say we should have allowed the Ndiigbo to cede in 1967. Look dudes, my grandpa said that a ninny who snatched a cookie from a child by raising his\her hand up will definitely bring it down when the raised hand starts to ache. Nigeria will destroy itself.

The California Institute of Technology or Caltech is the best School in the World, and has been ranked number 1 for some years now , this School beats Harvard,Yale,Oxford,MIT and the others to be number one.

This School is also not well known by people, as it prefers to go about its academic works quietly. Caltech also has 33 Nobel laureates to its name. This School has produced more Nobel laureates, more than its nearest rivals combined. None of these Nobel laureates go about making a mockery of themselves, and herein lies my problem with Wole Soyinka.

For some Strange reasons, he just cannot accept the fact that he has lost his relevancy in our present day and age. Him and the other one(Tam David West)seem to think they can thrash talk themselves into relevancy. Its sad seeing somebody i respect so much going into an early stage of dementia.

And to think the Pyrates Confraternity he founded is filled with 40% Igbo people, smacks of how disconnected Wole Soyinka is from the world by Bashing the people from the East.

Wole Soyinka does not need our insults, he needs our prayers.

Do not put too much stock on the crap called Nobel laureate. The so-called Nobel thing has been stage- managed toward political agenda of the awarders. It is on record that such useless award had been equally rejected by people who had the whiff of the political agenda of awarding institution.

At a point,they were regarded as Rivers State 1st Eleven.
They were the envy of the South South Geo Political zone.
A united force against oppression,ready to take their state to the next level.
At a time when Port Harcourt was known as the GARDEN CITY.
A popular musician DUNCAN MIGHTY termed them Port Harcourt 1st Sons.
With time things have fallen apart and the center cannot hold.
The ones enviably boys from KALABRI and IKWERRE are now so divided that Rivers State has become a theatre of war and a laughing stock among right thinking Nigerians as can be seen from the just concluded general elections.
The big question on every one's mind is why did these men allow themselves to be used by forces from outside their state?
Why are the ones sending them on this destructive mission not doing same in their own state?
Where lies the future of Rivers State in the hands of some of these selfish sons?
Will Rivers State ever return to its enviable past glories?

This trash must be coming from APC faction of Ohanaze cos as far as am concerned, work is ongoing at the site of the project even as am typing this now..

Does the bridge across River Niger at Asaba-Onitsha belong to the Ndiigbo? Is there any bridge in Nigeria that belongs to any ethnic? What is the stupidity about the Niger Bridge and Ndiigbo?

The Malians pulling out at the last minute isn't too cool,we need competitive fixtures to tune up d team as we prepare for d world cup.

Few of the Nigeria’s preparatory stanzas toward world cup in Canada included a match or two with Malians during the Olympic qualifiers. Anyway, Nigerians are known for having their eggs in one basket. In fact, the team will be very lucky to secure a draw in their group stage.

How Falcons denied me an award in Sweden –Ikidi.
Sweden based Super Falcons defence minister; Faith Ikidi has rued Nigeria’s continued absence at the prestigious Algarve Cup competition.
The Algarve Cup, an annual global invitational tournament for national women’s teams, is hosted by Portugal and serves as the melting point for World Cup bound teams to test their might ahead of any FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament.
In an interview with Saturday SunSports, Ikidi who plays for Pitea IF of Sweden, lamented that again this year, Super Falcons as African Champions were missing in the tournament that was won by their Canada 2015 World Cup opponents, USA.
According to Ikidi, the inability of Nigeria to participate in the Algarve Cup has consistently on a yearly basis robbed her of the opportunity of carting home the best defender award in the Swedish League.
Excited that Falcons qualified for the 11th All Africa Games in Congo, the former QBIK FC of Sweden defence marshal spoke about her dreams of helping Nigeria at the forthcoming Canada 2015 FIFA World Cup.

I really do not know all about the Algarve Cup that is hosted by Portugal but I do believe it is based on invitation by host country. Since the inception of the competition, no African country has been invited to the tournament yet FIFA kept lip service of no discrimination in its organization. Every world Cup bound team was invited except any of the teams from Africa.
