I have already seen this thread long ago. Thanks anyway.

Kingcalls:
Look at bad belle sha... how many major investetments do u yorubas have in lagos?? Its not even up to 25 percent.... Biggest being GTB ...any other is politically supported ...of which it still is not much.... the biggest tax payers in lagos are the igbos , the biggest top choice property owners in lagos are the igbos... the hausas will not just invest in lagos... just about a few like dangote that is supported by government....

GTB the biggest what?

Mention the top choice real estate owned by the biggest tax payers.

Kingcalls:
So as calabar and port Harcourt... the difference between lagos and the other 2 is sustainability and who are those that have made it so?? Making it the capital and investments from the easterners

My point still stands.

Lagos had telephone (1886), new paper publication house (1896), Banks (1894 & 1899), electricity (1896), Tramway system (1901), carter bridge (1901), Lagos - Ibadan train (1900), paved roads with cars etc before other tribes stepped a foot in Lagos as at 1901, and only SW money was used to accomplish these, not SS, SE nor Northerner money

Now, mention which of these infrastructures were in Port Harcourt and Calabar before 1914?

Lagos and SW money were used to develop P/H, Calabar and Enugu.

There were no other tribes in Lagos as at 1901.

So who made it sustainable? Stop fooling yourself.

Bialegend:
Liar!! Most of the developmental infrastructures in Lagos today were built with Biafra's oil money and the majority of the investments today in Lagos are owned by Igbos.

When was Nigeria formed? Before 1914. Lagos already had all those infrastructures before the entity called Nigeria.

My point still stands.

Lagos had telephone (1886), new paper publication house (1896), Banks (1894 & 1899), electricity (1896), Tramway system (1901), carter bridge (1901), Lagos - Ibadan train (1900), paved roads with cars etc before other tribes stepped a foot in Lagos as at 1901, and only SW money was used to accomplish these.

Kingcalls:
Rather, Without lagos being former capital, this wudnt exist.... y is ibadan, abeokuta not like lagos if u people think its by ur drug man... remove the igbo man with his business and investment from lagos and lagos will turn to ibadan... the SS and SE have the biggest investments in lagos

Lagos had electricity, roads, bridges, ports, airport, tram, telephone, railway, banks, etc long before Nigeria was formed and before it became the capital of Nigeria,

The biggest Investors in Lagos are SW and foreigners.

IDENNAA:
There are exceptions to every rule but they are never the rule. Big players can flop in one league and shine in another. Many factors contribute to that. If Onyekuru got the same opportunities Simon had with Super Eagles nobody would still be talking about Simon.

Moses has 33 appearances with Eagles and scored 5 goals.

Kalu has 13 appearances and scored 2 goals.

Egbon , bami joko !

So we should throw away the assists abi?

Onyekuru is a fine player but Moses is currently better than him as I type. EOD

PurpleHouse:
I didn't want to respond because he seem bias.

Only Ejuke, not to talk of Oyenkuru that Rohr doesn't fancy, dwarfs Simon hands down.

Dammn we are loaded at the flanks sha.

Imagine what a direct creative midfielder would bring to that team? Perhaos now we should turn to Nwankali. Perhaps.

Which Ejuke or Onyekuru dwarfs Simon?

Simon is better than these aforementioned players. Na fact be dat nothing like bias.

IDENNAA:
He is not better than Onyekuru , Samuel Kalu nor Chukwueze. Even Iwobi offers better attacking option.

And , please don't bring your usual tribalistic views into this issue.

No wonder the “us” don’t see anything good in Moses.

He is better than all in his wing.

Those players finding it hard in the same Ligue 1 is now better than the one doing better in the same league. What an irony!

Mr man, you have never made any objective point devoid of prejudice.

I don’t take you seriously.

Besides, Chuks is better though they don’t play the same wing.

PurpleHouse:
Your last statement is the sole reason he gets the nod over other better wingers in the national team. Yes. He has improved recently, and that's down to completion in the team, same way Onuachu improved his game because of Osimhe and co.

My point is not false. Dude doesn't offer much apart from defensive capabilities. And our coach is a defensive minded coach. So he uses him over better options oftentimes.

Who are the better wingers? Can you list them?

How come he had 2 assists out of the 5 games in AFCON?

IDENNAA:
Because that's what he brings to the table not for his great attacking abilities. The boy has been playing for us since Oliseh time yet he is still hasn't wowed us.

He is still better than most of the Wingers available.

He can’t wow the “us” because the “us” belongs to certain set who don’t believe nothing good can come out of Samaria.

PurpleHouse:
He tries too hard to do it, and he's heavy with the ball. Slows games.

Go and check his games in the Belgian pro League and Ligue 1 before arriving at this false conclusion.

He is being restricted to defensive duty in the national team setup.

BascoVanVeli:
What are u talking about? Am I not expressing my disagreement? What else should I do? Come and fight you

If u are saying it doesn't justify horrible performances why bring it up when people are figuring out his lousy list? Whenever that man does nonsense u people come out with how much he is owed. But if someone accuses him of taking bribe u will shout how can a white man that owns hotels lower himself like an African to take a bribe.


Now u want to cover up your white obsession by bringing Oliseh and Amunike up. When u were just saying we should investigate Keshi, a man that the NFF also owes money. His children lost their father and mother but instead of fighting for him to get his money the only thing you could do was lay baseless accusations that he is not here to defend. The NFF sacked and disgraced Keshi so I don't understand why u people won't ask why those so called accusers waited until he died to run their mouths. They would have said it the day he got sacked and the NFF would have loved it because it ran in line with their smear campaign.

I think you didn’t his argument.

You are both on the same page.

PurpleHouse:
If that's the case then we need him. Good replacement for Simon Moses. Simon slows our game and cant dribble.

Simon Moses can’t dribble!? Hmmmm!?

Did you see his last game in gwg?

They were just envious of you sir.

From the look of thinks, the Southern Governors are determined to stand their ground against forceful take over of their ancestral land.

If the government insists then there could be outbreak of another civil war which I doubt the federal government is able to win because they will become the minority against the majority.

Of course, the government has acquired weapons and placed themselves in key positions to loot funds in other to achieve there aims but they have forgotten their must be allies on both sides when it begins.

This is just my own personal opinion.

NaijirianKing:
Of all the words written here, it doesn't change the fact that these are the numbers released by INEC. There may be flaws here and there since nothing can be 100% accurate. With that being said, these are the numbers that will be the basis for the 2023 election.

It is clear that the North is the only region that can make their son the president into perpetuity for the next 50 years, or more. Respect the North and we will allow the south to smell Aso Rock from the seat of the president. Power is people, and we have the people.

Always think of tomorrow when you discus the events of today. A word is enough for the wise. You will be shocked when 2023 a Northerner is fielded by a major party and wins the election.

Why didn’t Buhari become President after many trials until he joined force with SW?

NaijirianKing:
Please, there is no evidence that Fulani perpetuated this horrible crime. Let's not now use every incident to cast the Fulani in a bad light. Yoruba and Fulani are brothers and have lived in peace for centuries.

Yoruba live in Fulani land in Kwara, and Fulani live among Yoruba land in Oyo. Your divide and rule tactics are dead on arrival.

When did Kwara become Fulani’s land?

mank1234:
Final list

Despite the fact that Ramon Azeez played in the Laliga last season, he only got one chance and he did well against Lesotho but ever since then he has been dropped from the national team due to excuse he is in division 2.

But if some players drop to division 2, they will still call them sharp sharp which has become the trend.

Anyway, the rate at which some players get into the national team easily despite playing in obscure leagues tells the whole story about team selection.

andrewbaba44:
E no far

Your eyes go clear soon

No wahala

andrewbaba44:
Use your last win against city to Dey get hope

Na Guardiola mind no Dey champions league finals

Man city wey Dey play nonsense till against Everton ,pure mind games

Chelsea will be beaten ,you played with all your strength against Aston Villa ,you cannot do more than that against city

Which strength?

Reece for back 3?

No Kanté?

Dey shout dem go beat you dey go. Tuchel Dey em assignment Dey go.

andrewbaba44:
Raheem who ? Someone that doesn’t start games anymore

Mancity defend deep against Chelsea ?

You must be kidding me

Which Raheem doesn’t start anymore?

I don’t care if he starts.

Man City defended against Chelsea in the last game hence resorted to long balls hoping they can score.

It almost paid off because Zouma almost struggled with his space hence the need to try Reece as back 3.

Tuchel’s mind is on the Champions league finals hence all his experiments in the last 3 games because we saw Man city trying to exploit our weakness.

andrewbaba44:
Same with man city

Chelsea is going trophyless

You should be happy you made it to the champions league after Leicester lost ,if not you will be running things with real sociedad and co in the Europa league

Man City can only scare other teams not Chelsea.

They will have to defend deep and play long balls hoping Raheem outrun our players as they did in the last game against Chelsea.

Why do you think Tuchel is trying Reece as back 3?

Blueelf:
Dey dream say you go beat man city, you hear?

There's nothing wrong in having tall dreams

Don’t be deceived by what you saw lately.

Chelsea selection and setup will be different from what you saw.

zicky:
What's you guys take on this

I don’t want to comment on this because if I do this place go explode.

The national team was not different from Buhari’s regime.

Nepotism and na my brother dem take enter.

Despite Raheem Lawal performance during the friendlies he was dropped. Gabriel instead was chosen. Somebody wey no play for almost a season.

Sone Aluko was dropped for ...,,,,and many of them.

We will have to run this country like U.K last last.

Kog45:
kai Tomori fall my hand o.Why not super eagles.

He can still play for Nigeria.

jihday:
Because of World Cup? Lots of players have had fantastic World Cup performances but that doesn't mean they are world class. World cup is just a game of 5-7 games

World cup is part of it. You can't perform at the world cup like that.

Beloved3:
Concerning Suarez, I have answered that here. Please see below;

@forgiveness, check my metrics/standard for a world class player in my earlier posts if you can.

I somehow agree with your metrics. However, such performance must be consistent.

maidaboi:
is Musa world class?

Of course.

Olulong:
Was Gyan World class??

of course.

andrewbaba44:
It seems you are getting me wrong

And of course hazard is a world class player

Alright, then.

andrewbaba44:
Na wa for you ooo my broda

Who no no say suarez Na world class ?

Okay. I bi no understand you.

andrewbaba44:
Yes Suarez have always had a good World Cup

Remember that 2010 performance while he was playing at Ajax then ?

Then Suarez is certainly a world class player.
