TayserMahiri:
Of course no one in Africa is a master of their own universe. The whole point was who is better than who. We just wanted an overall winner. Kenya won hands down! All those battles you mention have been fought, just peruse back if you havent. Usually they dont last long for several reasons reasons:

1. Ghanaians are kinda softies and behaved. They wont push limits. Just a few exchanges and they leave the mad Nigerians to their own happy ignorance.
2. You cant beat SA in development so all you do is abuse them.
3. Tanzania is a nonentity. Their presence here is testament to Kenya's immense power. If Kenya wasnt here they too wouldnt. Dont even think for a moment they would sustain a battle with any country in Africa, not Naija or SA, especially, and not even Ghana. They are laidback and unexposed. The Tanzanian idiot you see here is the most educated Tanzanian.
4. With Kenya, Nigeria finally found the real OGs. Their lousy mouths were cut to size. I dont think there's anything they havent thrown at us. They are completely out of gas. Forever, perhaps!

Dont expect any serious thing between Kenya and SA or Kenya and Ghana or SA and Ghana. We have nothing to beef over. Remember the battle between Kenya and Nigeria is all about Nigeria's appetite for beef. What business do you have with Kingdoms? We have a few functionally extinct kingdoms but thats outdated stuff. Kingdoms are the main reason you have cults and very submissive mentalities among your youth. I know that because we have Uganda right next door with their formerly flourishing kingdoms. Their youths are submissive to older oppressive generations as fvck. So no! Dont bring kingdoms, I know they spell doom to modern progress.
You have been beaten blue black here hence no one takes Kenya seriously. You know I was one of those decimated and shut up your empty mouths. Bhahahaha! grin

Don't tell me Kenya is better than UK, Russia, Israel, Turkey who built empires? grin

Just admit Kenyans didn't have kingdom because you lacked the intellectual capabilities to build and sustain one hence your mau mau unclad with animals like Tarzan. Salvage you were. Bhahahaha! grin

Triple KPOM!!!

And based on these two games alone, I can tentatively place Collins after Iroha and Babayaro. But it's still early days for Collins, let's see how he performs at the AFCON.

And by the way, the name you were missing was Juwon Oshaniwa (our LB in BRAZIL 2014).

Good list.

However, what is that unkown home based player doing on the list? Is it another chop I chop arrangee because I don't think he's the best player in the NPFL.

Anyway, kudos for adding Samuel Chuchwueze on the list. No Jupiter can disagree or complain on top did one because he deserved it. But if I hear phem. grin

However, I am still trying to phantom the speed at which the coach gave Osimhen a call just because he scored 6 goals in the same Belgium Pro league we saw players done better than him in the same Belgium pro league last season.

Is this not bias selection or selective selection of players?

Man no man and agent connection? Na wa

FORGIVENESS COME OOOOOOO OLAYINKA DON SCORE LMAO




Peter Olayinka scored for Slavia Prague to smash past Dukla Prague 4-1 in a local derby tonight.

Olayinka, 22, scored his team’s third goal after 49 minutes.



It was his second goal in six league appearances for the top Czech club.

He returned to the Czech Republic after he moved from Belgian club KAA Gent on a four-year contract.

Slavia Prague are top of the table in the Czech Republic with 33 points from 13 matches.

They are closely followed by Viktoria Plzen, who
Well, good for him.

All the poo you did, you were and still are a regional power. In Kenya & East Africa we have NEVER felt any of your power. We only hear it in your nostalgic tales. Why didnt you use your 'strong' military to arm the Umkhonto We Sizwe instead of the lame things you did? And how did the tables turn? Did you guys educate the South Africans and forgot to educate yourselves because they are now smarter than you and control your business sector? Why are you, like Tanzanians, singing daily about how you helped SA get freedom when the South Africans right now only see you as subjects?
Does your emotional rant change the fact that we were and still are regional power who had influenced the emancipation of some African countries from second colonial rule, huh?

Is Nigeria the Ambassador of South Africa who is singing the song daily to educate his ignorant youths?

Are we the one who told the South African government to include this part of history in their curriculum? Stop crying mau mau like you you are know for and accept the fact at your face. Coward Kenya did nothing. grin


My friend, I am talking about why we were called Gaint of Africa, you are here talking about aftermath. Shift! grin


South Africa has concluded plans to re-introduce history in its academic curriculum so as to enlighten its citizens about Nigeria’s role in the fight against apartheid rule, an official has said.

“Nigeria is a country that gave profile to the international pillar of our revolution in the UN and the commonwealth; it is a country that received our youth during the apartheid.

“Our youth came to Nigeria and were given scholarship; it is a country that has been very much relentless in supporting us, despite the geographical difference that separates us,” he said.

The envoy said that the unity of the two countries was important and the youth must know about it..

He said Nigeria was part of the countries that said “African cannot be free as long as South Africa is not free’’.

According to him, Nigerian public servants used to keep part of their salaries to fight for the course of South Africa, so that those young kids could be able to go to schools.

You say what? You Kenya has never felt any of our regional power. Bhahahaha! How can Kenya


[b]Thus the recognition in 1975 of the Movimento Popular deLibertação de Angola (MPLA) provided a major encouragement to the liberationstruggle in southern Africa, marking the beginning of a more engaged commitment todecolonization and African integration. Nigeria’s success in isolating UNITA, its rolein the struggle for Zimbabwean independence and particularly its role in the Lancaster House Accords; its support to Namibia not just during the struggle but also in post-apartheid reconstruction in which it contributed about US$20 million in assistance tothe South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) in the 1989 elections, as wellas financial and military support to other liberation movements in Zambia, Tanzania,Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa were notable planks in the commitment toa free and united Africa. Nigeria’s support for the conduct of elections in severalcountries such as Niger Republic, are clear indications also to a commitment to thedemocratisation of Africa.These goals were also pursued on the economic and cultural levels throughvarious forms of aid, technical assistance, and civil and military training to variousAfrican countries. The provision of scholarships/grants/fellowships, trainingfacilities, medical supplies, as well as equipment [/b]

Forget about Next 11, all evidence shows that you are currently in a race to pit bottom of the poorest on the planet. 6 people per minute becoming extremely poor. Even India with its billion population has fewer paupers.
What happened to the same evidence that proved the Next 11? Oh! We should believe the other evidence that shows Nigeria is the poorest country in planet universe and forget that one, abi? Bhahahahaahahaha! Double standard fellow. grin


TayserMahiri:
Forget about the army. You have one the shittiest militaries in Africa. A military with no morale, leadership or proper equipment. A military that runs away from terrorists. A military that has been unable to eliminate terrorists from its country. A military that cant protect Nigerians. It may be large but its useless. The Kenyan army is way more effective for its small size[b]. It took Kenyan platoons to end the wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia, your West African neighbors![/b] I shared a video here. Where were you? And btw my uncle served in Sierra Leone for years until the peace was attained. Unfortunately he passed on a few years ago in a medical accident. The Kenyan army is currently ranked the 6th largest contributor of peacekeeping troops in the world. Nigeria is 14 th (or 41st am not sure which is which as with all matters Nigeria, just know your rank has a 1 and a 4)!! What army are you talking about? We have sent more than 30,000 soldiers to support UN peacekeeping missions in different parts of the world in the last few decades losing only a total of 32; 1 in Burundi, 5 in Eritrea, 1 in former Yugoslavia, 4 in Namibia, 16 in Sierra Leone, among others. We are that professional. How many have you lost in peace keeping missions? Is it not in the hundreds? This year alone you have lost three in Congo. We dont even need to go there when you cant even eliminate Boko Haram. Kenya went to Somalia to fight terrorists there. Talk about taking the battle to their doorstep. Would you even dream of tackling terrorists beyond your forsaken borders? When you cant effectively deal with them on your soil.
Does your emotional rant change the fact that all index from reputable authority in this regard acknowledged and verified Nigeria is the strongest military in Sub Sahara Africa beside South Africa? Bhahahaha! Deal with it.

Bloody liar. Are you talking about the Kenya army killed and captured like rat in Sierra Leone? shocked Kenya didn't do any jack shit in Sierra Leone.

TayserMahiri:
How many countries in Africa have you helped set up from scratch? Can you claim the same as Kenya who helped S. Sudan set up from scratch in Nairobi to the extent that they adopted our flag? How many nations in the world have ever copied your flag due to the inspiration Nigeria gives? How many adore you? Do you even know that Kenya is at the heart of sensitive North African affairs especially in Morocco and to a lesser extent Algeria in regard to the disputed territory? Kenya single handedly formed the Sahrawi Arab Republic in Nairobi in the 70s much to their chagrin. Algeria backs the Sahrawi Republic as does Kenya but Morocco hates it. They even vote against Kenya at the UN. A decade ago there was tension between Morocco and Kenya after Kenya allowed the Sahrawi Republic to open an embassy in Nairobi, since 2005. How many such overtures can Nigeria conjure beyond your west african hood? You are just a regional power, local boys.
Go and ask Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia etc. Stop disgracing yourself here.


[b]Over 100,000 Nigerian troops have served in UN peacekeeping missions around the world since her first participation in 1960 [/b]and four of these missions have been commanded by Nigerian senior military officers (Congo, Angola, and Beirut).The first major peacekeeping role however was that of Chad (1979-82) which Nigeria undertook under the auspices of the OAU. That operation cost Nigeria about $82m which had to be written off. Nigeria has also been, for a long time, the chair of the UN Special Committee on Peace Keeping Operations. Finally, her leadership both asChair of the Security Council at various times, as well as in other areas in the UN System has given her the opportunity not only to build peace, but also to push for positions favourable to Africa. This long history of participation in peacekeepingoperations has given Nigeria’s military sufficient

1. In terms of road infrastructure, Lagos is far ahead of Nairobi. 5 lanes roads, bridges, flyovers, cable bridge, street lights etcetera Transportation; BRT, construction of Metro rail, ferry services etcetera are all available in Lagos.

Don't kid yourself.Stories of Nigerian soldiers running away and leaving their arms to Boko insurgents are in plenty.
We at least removed Al Shabaab from Kenya and deep into Somalia and South Africa's millitary did well in the Apartheid era. As for Nigerian political influence.
No Eastern African country knows anything about that.None.
As for wealth, only a small tiny minority in Nigeria has ever been able to experience that prosperity.
The fact that even people like you ranting online do not have the basics like electricity and water supply that is not from a well is a testament to that. The Saudis, as retarded as they are does distribute the oil money to most people in a bid to keep them from revolting, a strategy that is currently wearing out fast.

Nigeria has a large population because the geographical area has been a centre of many Kingdoms, empires and civilizations for thousands of years, just like India & China.
Only an irredeemable slowpoke will juxtapose a large population with high copulation tendencies.

Check out countries like Ethiopia, Egypt, Congo, they have been centres for the thriving of great past kingdoms, hence their population densities.

A populated country like Kenya with no history of an empire or Kingdom, rather with descendants of fleeing uncivilized refugees and slaves from West Africa some few hundred years ago needs to be questioned.

TayserMahiri:
You were never doing well. Nigeria has always been doing terrible right from kick off. I think only three years after independence you had a coup where you killed each other. You were given the title of Giant mainly because of your insane population (sex essentially). Nigeria alone has as many people as the whole of East Africa. If you guys had known recreational sex you wouldnt have been labelled giant because you wouldnt have made so many baby Ogas. Remember it was a white fellow who gave you that name.
Terrible?

Since 1952 before the western region of Nigeria was granted self governing status by the British 1957, they succeeded in building an economy through Agriculture that enabled them provide free primary education, build the first Skyscraper in tropical Africa, the first television station in tropical Africa, the first Olympic stadium in sub Sahara Africa, the first steel glass framed Skyscraper in West Africa, the most beautiful and we'll planned University in Nigeria if not Africa, free health care for children, first standard hotel in Nigeria and one of the oldest in West Africa etcetera. All these, before and after independent. As at then Ibadan was the Dubai of Africa.

Followed by economic boom in other regions from 1960 - 1966 before coup set in, and after which we experienced civil war for 3 years.

Despite the war, we never went into recession or economy depression rather we became prosperous as a result of oil boom in 1970. It continued until 1985 before things went low. That was the first time naira depreciated from N0.65 to N2 for $1.

How did we build new cities from the scratct, build strong infrastructure, Universities, Telecoms, TV, Arts (Nigeria hosted FESTAC 77), Music, Poetry and other literary works, national airline (Nigeria Airways) that was the best in Africa, sports (Nigeria dominated the All Africa Games for years), 3rd strongest military in Africa, etc?

How can we help other countries in terms of food aid to famine ridden countries, resolution of internal conflicts and award of scholarships to Africans during those era?

How were we able to do all these if Nigeria never did well?

My friend, telling me there was never a time Nigeria did well is height of ignorance.

There were 4 factors that promoted gaint of Africa.

First reason is population.

Second reason is wealth. We were the Saudi Arabia of Africa. We were the economic super power. As I told you, our currency was much stronger than the dollar and equal to Pounds. N0.65 for $1 and N1.20 for £1 were the exchange rate during that period. That was why all African countries flooded Nigeria and we were able to give scholarships to hundred of South African youths during apartheid. $61b was what we spent in other for black South Africans to emancipate from apartheid. Singlehandedly, funded peace keeping missions in raging Africa. As it stands, Nigeria with the annual GDP of $400b is the largest economy in AFRICA. It is the only country in Africa listed among the “Next Eleven” economies poised to become the biggest economies in the 21st century.


Third was and still is the political influence.
From ECOWAS to OAU and UN, we were and still the major player. Nigeria political influence can't be overlooked. We were directly involved in the independent of African countries and also very directly active in campaigns for the proscription of racism and apartheid in South Africa. That was when Kenya cowardly backed out in pretence they are Switzerland of Africa. Bhahahaha! grin

Fourth reason is military power. Nigeria has the strongest military in the sub Sahara Africa beside South African.

You should have helped yourself first. After end of Apertheid - the white Boers companies simply overrun Tanzania and now you're the slaves of the Boers. When they tried Kenya - they "found" it a hard nut to crack - because we really never blocked boers from coming here and doing their bizness.

Help yourselves first. Now you host the 3rd largest poor people - 20M plus - in Africa - after Nigeria & DRC - and nobody is helping you.

Our foreign policy has remained non-aligned. We are too poor to shoulder responsibilities that likes of US, UK, China and such countries ought to take individually - but we will support UN, AU and such multilateral agencies.

We oppose Apartheid - and that is the far we could do - the same way we refuse to get into Uganda or Sudan or Somali or Ethiopia - or even Tanzania - we simply refuse to host rebels or assist any group militarily outside the UN/AU.
Saint Kenya is on the list of the poorest in Africa. grin

Terrorists Spare Nigerian Christian Schoolgirl Leah Sharibu, Will Instead Make Her a 'Slave for Life'

Boko Haram has abducted over 1,000 school children, killed more than 2,000 teachers and destroyed more than 1,400 schools in Nigeria. Yet you are still playing games with those idiots to the extent of begging them to release school girls.
Is this also about how Kenya is the great planner and the one with only foresight in mother Aflika? Bhahahaha! grin

Kai. Afonjas and their blind Mumuism aka Tinubuism.

What I gleaned from Ambode’s saga is how Tinubu can even make you idiots to start hating your own father by just flicking his fingers.
Tinubu? Wetin concern Tinubu for Ogun state matter? undecided
