black people avoid their history like the pest..

what is absolutly not necessry...

their is nothing to be ashamed of a tall..

we didnt do this to our selfs..

the white-devils did it...

black people had slaves,yes...but we never went to the lenght of industrializing it....

thats why i dont understand blacks that like white people today...

No human being is either White or Black. The black and white thing is a mere figment of imagination reserved for the fools.

The word, black, as most foolish fools attribute it to race is a derivative of slavery. Yet some moronic Africans tend to arrogate "Black" to themselves. Most Africans are pure dumbass and holistically lacking in recorded events.

Chibok shenanigan is one of the biggest frauds perpetrated on mankind. Asari Dokubo could not more correct on this political joke.

It is very dumb to talk about popular vote in USA election. USA election is not about popularity contest.

Perpetual Nwokocha is the greatest female footballer Nigeria has produced. Mercy Akide is great.

RoyalBlak007:
Tight one there...i didnt really watch much of Mercy Akide though...

What a joke.

Jascon4:
I do not scout for players neither am I a coach. The coach had the responsibility to assemble a formidable team but he failed. Would you honestly believe that the current under 20 team is the best Nigeria can offer??

The fact that such thought could even permeate your mind, then I must say,that is very troubling.

You are a typical Nigerian who tend to spout pigheadedly. You never scouted and definitely not coach material yet you claimed there were better players than ones the coach had assembled. Emptiness is actually a second nature to most Nigerians.

Ipobs are doing everything to ensure the failure of the Buhari regime. They have the right to oppose whatever policy that government comes up with but they should also realise that whatever goes around comes around. If the world bank eventually approves the loan and most of the developmental projects to be undertaken with it are not sited in the SE, they should please not cry of marginalisation.

This is the liberal reason the so-called World Bank should not approve the alleged loan. Nigeria is not qualified to belong into any world body.

Summation of Nigeria’s decadence

RIZLER:
Ipobs are confused elements

The only confused head-case in this discussion is the OP. The OP needs a psychiatric attention so as to indulge in a simple differentiation.

xnsandrxns:
Where could this madness be coming from?

From Afonja, of course.

Jascon4:
The guy that you quoted made the same point that I always make...ill preparation does not excuse that sort of play...I don't know why you are bent on defending mediocrity

I hate mediocrity instead I sue for advancement through structured process. If you know any player in Nigeria who is better than the collection of players the coaches have assembled, please name her.

[quote author=laudate post=51172650][/quote]You seem to wallow in ignorance. Again, did the conferees discuss Decree #8 in Aburi, Ghana?

laudate:
Maka gini?? Gowon was military Head of State and Commander-In-Chief and you say he had no powers?? Chai!! Go back to school, biko!

Arrant nonsense!!!

Ngozi123:
I assume that you're referring to my post, right? If so then you couldn't be further from the truth. I've been collecting evidence for a while now that debunks many of the myths perpetuated by the Nigerian media, government and ordinary Nigerians. Although shocking in nature, that 'oyinbo writer's' remark is one that is consistent with what I've seen on the internet, in books and in films. As for your last point, I acknowledge that there are many good Yoruba people out there who do not harbour hatred for the Igbos and even if they did, I still wouldn't hate them. However, this doesn't negate the fact that many Igbo people were mistreated at the hands of Yorubas before, during and after the war and most of this was done without any other reason than the utter hatred they had for Ndigbo. I will not sugarcoat my words just because some people will be offended.

One such idiotic myths was the 1967 publication of western regional government of Nigeria stated that Lt Col Francis Fajuyi opted to die with Gen Ironsi.

laudate:
A continuation of P.C Asiodu's interview concerning Decree 8 of 1967:

WHY ABURI ACCORD FAILED, BY ASIODU |tnv | THE NIGERIAN VOICE |

Asiodu: But coming back from what I was saying. Go and read decree 8, if we had implemented it - in three months, we would have had four independent states.

Q: Why was it not implemented?

Asiodu: "Because, it didn't satisfy the Easterners. The decree had been promulgated by Gowon. It was to be implemented then. But it was seen by Ojukwu as not being sufficient. I am saying that politics is something which has to be played with some tact. Sometimes my brothers there see black and white where there is immediately green in between. Sometimes, there is really no finesse in politics. They will think the reality is not important as how you get there. The reality was that Nigeria was finished under decree number 8. The reality is that although it was finished, they didn't proclaim 'we hereby dissolve Nigeria'. But that was of no effect. You go and read it. But it was rejected...." https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/thread/12170/87243/1

Was there anytime Decree 8 was discussed in Aburi, Ghana? Most Nigerians tend to embrace illogicality as gospel.

gidgiddy:
Considering that your leader Awolowo gave up without a fight right in Lagos, Yoruba land and became 'second fiddle' to a boy young enough to be his son (Gowon) I think that Ojukwu did well in comparison.

Yorubas are the only people who surrendered their land before the fight even started.

Even when their son was murdered in the capital of Oduduwa by the Caliphate loyalists. It reminds me about the Afonja's women in Ogbomosho during the jihadist push to Ibadan.

seunmsg:
God bless Philip Effiong's soul wherever he is today. At least, he was brave enough not to abandon the soldiers when defeat became imminent unlike a certain coward that ran away to Cote d'ivoire.

You would never know a tactical move even if your sorry life depended on it.

Nigeria is full of dunces.

hamzeiy:
the point here is to mentione how tribalistic sentimental and irrational ipobs are...they are selfish with no just cause.everything has to be their way otherwise its ethnic cleansing or northerniztn...most hated pple in the country..maybe you should be asking your selves why every body hates you..even your neighbours would prefer not to be associated with you only on politics when its in their favour.give the SS their resource control you would be the most hated by them..even the minorities from the idomas in benue to ebiras in kogi to the TIVs rather not associate with you.despite being the easiest people to relate with aspa cultural and religous integration.its time you ask your selves the hard question..

Did you realize in your sorry and wasteful life that Afonja is the coach who made the selection? This is not like Daura Dumbass called Buhari who appointed every donkey capable of standing up as a minister.

Chukazu:
#most successful national team in Africa

Opara Anozie should watch her weight.
it seems these particular team is doing "quota system"?

Oparanozie is not the only girl to watch weight. The ladies look like bags of garri. The couch should run these girls lean before the tournament begins.

kilo4sure:
Exactly, just how prepared were the sets of 2012 or 2014? Preparation is good, and the style of play plus the good chemistry the Japanese showed indicates that they have been together for a long time, but still l maintain that it is obvious that just like the flamingoes, there may be very few gifted players in this squad. Even if we can't play as a team, we could have at least showed some individual brilliance, but everything was just poor. Ihezuo for instance and yakubbu in that team are excellent players but there aren't many like them in the team. I believe aside the nff's poor preparation of the team, the blame should also go to the coach for his tactics in that game as well as his poor team selection.

Most Nigerians are unjustifiably funny. You should have called up the sets of 2012 and 2014 to represent Nigeria in 2016. Or you should have clone them. Fact remains that human beings are different from each other with different set of skills. In any sport, preparation before any tournament is paramount.

olapluto:
Your arguments are flawed. Even if its 2 hours they spend in camp, the basics of football can still be instilled. They are professionals that play weekly in their clubs. Putting 3 passes together is not rocket science. The coach obviously tried to play long balls to Ihezuo for 90 minutes. Thats daft and very lazy. In the end, Rashidat Ajibade was turned to defensive midfielder and we were hoofing long balls to no one in particular. The players have been in camp for almost a month, and not 2 weeks as you said. Camp opened late september, and they had all of October to train.
I can also assure you Japan did not spend a year in camp.

Most Nigerians are bundles of illogicality. Even the adjudged best players in the world are still called to the camp in preparation for a pending tournament. If preparation is overrated one wonders while countries such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentine and France call up players to camp. Seriously, your plank of argument confirms the pitiable backwardness seen in Africa.

Nigerian girls showed they were not even comfortable with ball during the match with Japan. They could not pass the ball to a team mate even if their lives depended on it. Besides the players spotting jersey number 5, 3, 4 and 1, the rest of the team members were spectators on the field. How did Ajibade, the bad luck player, make the team?

kilo4sure:
Did the oshoala's train better before they could come up with that performance? I remember reading how poor their preparation was prior to the tournament as well. I agree with you that the team would have done better with good preparation, just that the problem also lies beyond just lack of good preparation.

This is another source of problem in Nigeria thus the act of self glorification. Oshoala or whatever you call her was never a one-girl team.

Jascon4:
You don't get the point, do you? Let me put it in simple terms: even if Nigeria did not prepare at all, with a good team they would have put forth a good show, at least put up a little fight, even without winning. What we saw today is similar to a situation where a secondary school football team in Nigeria is pitched against Barcelona as an opponent. What Barcelona would do to that team is exactly what Japan played us today. They were so disoriented that they couldn't even make 3 successful passes at a time.

Nigeria was overwhelmingly outclassed, outpaced, outshone and then reduced to nothing. Lack of preparation does not even come in here, such a disgusting display is inexcusable. Cogitesne?

Nigerians have ways with logic. How do you produce a good team? I guess good teams grow on a tree in Nigeria.

It a pity Yoruba cannot count too. What a tribe.

amanikondo:
[size=13pt]Another flat head Ipod with ultra low IQ. Afonja is for people in Ilorin not yorubaland. Except Wole Soyinka is now from Ilorin.[/size]

Original Oyo Ile was 30 miles north of Ilorin. This fact has rendered the crap about Oduduwa useless. Today's Yoruba are pure Aroke.

It is of unfortunate that men of Wole Soyinka's stock usually start what they cannot finish. I guess the act of loudmouth is inherent among the folks.

I Don't Know Nnamdi Kanu - Trump

"I never said anything about the Nigerian guy called Nnamdi Kanu... I don't even know him, never met him before... who is he? Does he live in New York? Is he an immigrant folk? Nigeria is a sovereign state, they have their issues to deal with, we have ours to make America great again folks... "

~ Donald Trump, US President-elect, speaking on Fox News

This is arrant nonsense. Base on my recollection, I can say that Trump has not given any interview on Fox News since winning the election.

Jascon4:
Lack of preparation does not even excuse the woeful display we witnessed today. Even completely unprepared, they should have put forth an actual performance that reflects the depth of the competition and their status.

Did you even watch that match from beginning to end? Are you saying those players do not belong to a club or have never played football? They were absolutely non existent, it was as if Japan was playing a group of random people that just had their feet on a football for the very first time. To say it was a disgrace is an understatement.

I watched the match to the final whistle. It does not matter one is Michael Jordan of basket, if one does not train properly, a thrashing is in stock for the person. One wonders why the professional teams in any league insist on strict training regiment. In most cases, players are not allowed to play when they were unable to train. Nothing can replace preparation in athletic competition. Lack of readiness for the tournament showed glaringly on the display of the kids. Nigerians have the tendency to expect goodies from the wrong places.

Nigerians are full of it.
