that is rougly 200.000naira. per month. almost 500 dollar

Oga! How did you do your calculation?

My friend, that is just 80,000 naira.

Don't come here to deceive people.

vaxx:
2cedis 50pessewa. you should also note that this money is a token for someone working. i know a nigeria coming in for the first time will be dissapointed. Just get yourself busy you will not feel it. In ghana no brick layera will take 3000 naira for a day job. You pay him or her amount equal to 6000naira at minimum

almost 300 naira and you said your minimum wages is 60 dollars.

While a bottle of 35cl Coca Cola in Nigeria is 70 naira, if we consider the minimum wages of 59 dollars in Nigeria, who do you think dey live better life?

Your economy dey ....

Soon minimum wages go increase to about 200 dollars for naija.

Just30:
highly affordable
Poor people In Ghana are less than 2%

Just tell me how much is Coca cola in Ghana Cedi, that's all.

TayserMahiri:
You said 60 dollars for Ghana is the highest minimum wage for west africa?

Nigeria's minimum wages fluctuated btw 100 - 120 dollars 5 years ago and before recession and devaluation recently.

Presently it's 59 dollars but it will be reviewed to about 180 dollars soon and if naira appreciates it will around 250 dollars.

vaxx:
1 cedis is 0.23 dollar . It cant really do more than buying a bottle water of 250ml. Which is more than enough to buy a 300ml of coca cola drinks in nigeria. You can covert it to kenya shillings to get the picture.

A 100ghc is 23 dollars enough to get you a room self contain in the capital city accra in average location more than enough to get you two month apartment in lagos in average location.

there is inflation in the system but you can beat it if you are working. you charge base on what you spend. you will not feel the inflation as a ghanian or foreigner so far you are working.

Hahahahahah! How much is a bottle of Coca cola in Ghana?

vaxx:
good for kenya. gdp per capital in ghana is 3.500dollar why that of kenya is 1.800 dollar. there is high possibility of making more cash in ghana compare to kenya. with your minimum wage .kenya govt has done well.

Chai!

One name that baffles me is Osimhen, he has not even been to camp and competed to justify inclusion.

He has played barely two games barely 10 minutes of football all season at a low level Wolfsburg that has just escaped relegation from the Bundesliga. He wasn't considered good enough for his team to start him or even play him over 45 minutes.

This can cause disaffection in the camp as thier is no justification beyond past glories. It has to be a level playing field. Even Isaac Success has better justification for selection than him.

There should be a clear an open modality for selection that is not the case here.

GBAM!

@nff: List of invited players for 2019 AFCON qualifier against South Africa

Waooooh! Agu don make am. Ndidi should watch out.

Alhassan don make am through local league.

Onyekuru final made it. Now, no more yanger.

komekn:
Huh

I do not dispute what you are saying 28 games and 6 goals is not great. However, he does not play for Nigeria as out an out striker. So as a goal tally it is not that bad.

However, when he does play he makes a good positive contribution.

Considering his club form at what we can describe as top clubs not the creme de La creme of Europe but top league clubs in Europe he has done well. I mean 43 league games and 23 goals for Olympiacos is far from easy. That's why he got his big money bags move to China.

I do feel we are too quick to write off some of our ageing starts too quickly. Gyan for Ghana is still cutting it to some degree. I feel a better mixture of young and old would be better.

I do suspect that our NFF officials are trying to make arrangements and will impress upon Rohr options that are not to our best interest.

Consider Defoe who was written off by England and the EPL has just signed a £130k a week deal with Bournemouth and is back playing for the 3 Lions. Defoe is 2 years older than Obafemi 6 years older than Ideye and 6 years older than Efe Ambrose.

I see players in completely dead leagues being considered when our old guard tried, tested and some who are at top clubs are being ignored.

If you are not cutting it in your club with very limited exceptions like KC at City. You can't be invited to the SE.

Osimhen has played possible 10 minutes of football for lowly struggling Wolfsburg in two games and he is in the SE. That's simply not fair and sends a wrong signal when there are players who are cutting it week in and out for thier clubs.

Na wetin I dey talk tey tey bi dis but nobody wan hear.

Oga, you are right on point with ya last two paragraphs. In short, everything paragraphs dey kampe.

Icon4s:
Hahahaha, i chose to be a bystander in this argument. As you guys know already, I don't rate young players that highly. So I don't go mcuh into debates on issues concerning young players. A good number of them(most infact) end up not measuring up to expectations.

There are certain arguments about young players that I engage in. Not this type.

Talking about being a politician, that's funny to me.
I think people who have been long here enough already know my stand as per choice of players or players selection.

Me i no dey look face to tell anybody here how I feel about him or her. Forgiveness and Komekn know me for that.

IBM has 200 million$ research and dev lab in nairobi. Only two in africa and the other in SA. No way in hell is the HQ in Nigeria. Same for Google.
Sadly we lost coca-cola. But the west african unit is headed by kenyans.

Did I say IBM Africa headquarter is in Nigeria?

Check well. I said IBM Africa regional headquarter is not in Nairobi.

A Nigerian was formerly the chairman of West, South and East Africa headquarter. He is now the chairman of of East and Southern Africa of Coca cola.

Many organizations have demoted Nairobi from the Africa regional headquarter to East Africa regional after coming to Lagos.

Hbuyosh:
How many of those are actually Sub Sahara Africa/ African HQs? These are just serving the W.African region.

Kenya hosts the hqs of 60 multinational companies serving east/central/southern Africa, ssAfrica and the whole Africa.

Ie, u have the IBM in Lagos which serves only the west African region, but the one in Nairobi is the ultimate hq for the whole of the continent.

You are a bloody liar. IBM Africa headquarter is not located in Nairobi. They only operate East Africa regional headquarter in Nairobi and East Africa comprises of only 10 countries compared to their West Africa regional headquarter located in Lagos that serves 20 bigger countries.

We have many of them like that in that fake list.

Out of the 6 listed for SubSahara Africa only 5 ARE NOT LOCATED IN NAIROBI.

Now, let me break it down.

Out of the 58 multinational companies, 28 of these companies serves only the East Africa region which comprises only 8-10 countries, 1 serves the SubSahara Africa while 19 of these organizations serves the whole of Africa, of which most are humanitarian agencies,


The remaining 10 multinationals neither have their East nor Africa regional headquarters in Nairobi. Busted.

Nairobi is not blabla what you claim. Organization setting up companies first in Nairobi doesn’t tantamount to being the Africa regional headquarter. It may be the starting point but as soon as they expand to West Africa, Nairobi looses its regional headquarter status sharp sharp.


Note; out of your list 25 multinational companies serves the whole 20 countries in West Africa from Lagos while 1 multinational company Africa regional headquarter is located in Lagos.

This is just from your list. Whatever if we release Lagos list?

Hbuyosh:
Multinational companies with their regional/African HQs in Nairobi.

Can u count how many IT firms are on this list.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_and_organizations_based_in_Nairobi

It is high time I burst some bubbles.

Nairobi is the Africa headquarters of international organizations claims.


They said Nigeria doesn't have Regional international organization headquarters but we told we are building our own world international organizations in Nigeria with headquarters in Lagos.


However, out of the 58 international companies or agencies sited in Nairobi, 30 are East and SubSaharan Africa regional headquarters while only 22 are Africa regional headquarters.

Nevertheless, out of the same list, I counted 26 international companies or agencies with their West and Africa regional headquarters in Lagos.

Since, that is all they have, Lagos will dust Nairobi if we count all the west/Africa regional headquarters in Lagos such as banks, Oil companies, manufacturing companies etc.

This is all the international companies with headquarters in Nigeria. I numbered the companies with West Africa/Africa headquarters in Lagos.

TheSuperNerd:
Bundesliga and LA Liga are the Two best leagues when it comes to Technical quality and some more....

The EPL is second to them both... or lemme say Third overall.

Yeah money is a factor... but also these three leagues boasts of the highest volume of the truly top teams in Europe and in the world today...

From Real Madrid to Barcelona to Bayern Munich to Manchester Utd to Chelsea to Atletico Madrid to Sevilla to Manchester city to Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool to Borussia Mochen Gladbach to Tottenham to a few others.... big guns they are...

And they all interchange players among themselves sometimes... If I include Serie A, We will also have Juventus, Roma, Intermilan, Ac Milan, Lazio... top guns.


So that prestige and better competitiveness is also a huge factor.

The @bolded na suspect when "big guns' are concerned

The truth is, money is the factor for the Spanish, EPL and the Bundusliga big guns to rule Europe. Apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico Madrid in Spain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Juventus, Inter Milan, Ac Milan and Roma(recently) in Italy, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City(recently), Monaco, PSG, Marseille and Lyon in France and Porto and Benfica which other top guns do you have in those leagues?


Once you are playing for one of those clubs in Europe, you are sure of winning the league and most of them are sure of winning the Champions League too save some like Porto, Benfica, Arsenal, Ac Milan, Lyon, Manchester City, Marseille and Inter Milan (watch out for this club in the next two seasons) who doesn't have the financial capability or the right talents to lead them to the promise land though they have the potentials.

Right now, the Lique 1 has caught up with these big guns with the financial capability and the right talents and that is why we saw two of their best team did very very very well in Europe against the so called top guns.

What I am saying is, PSG and Monaco are on the same level with Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Athletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Bayern Munich. A little bit above Manchester City and those not mentioned.

They are in the league of Champions and that is all that matters.

If you ask me to choose between the two now, I will not blink an eye to choose Mbappe over Iheanacho based on current form and what they bring to the table.

Yes, Mbappe is that good because I have seen him played and you can only make decisions based on what you see nau nau though we can't ignore the 'potentials'. O yes! We call potentials when a player is very good but that is where it ends if the 'potential player' is not or doesn't get the opportunity to express himself.

Solanke, Afobe, Rabiu Ibrahim etc are all potential players but it avails nothing if it's not translated on the field of play. Potential doesn't tantamount to being a world class player. You must prove it.

As it is, Iheanacho is not on the same level with Mbappe currently though he might be equally or even better than him.

A living dog is better than a dead lion. I hope una get my point.

Icon4s:
See as I just dey look una.

Me no wan put mouth for this is una Mbappe Vs Iheanacho argument.

I already knew those that would be on Iheanacho's side and those that will be on Mbappe's side.

If someone like Goldfish80 comes I know which side he would take.

If oga joseph1014 comes I know which side he will take.

But if someone like forgiveness comes he will not take any sides for this kind players for obvious reasons.

I just dey look una.

Bhuuuhahaha! for which obvious reasons, kwa?

I know the better player for now but me no wan argue dis night.

OMANBALA1:
After you are done fighting your tribalistic war with your fellow tribalistic Igbos you shift grounds to the Kenyans....You have a big problem,ma nigga.

Bros, there's nothing like tribe in my Bible dictionary.

I may engage in debate but I know my boundaries.

Let it be known that most of my debates are purely for information gathering. Chikena.

And in most cases, na Omabala's I dey always engage.

Even the ones I engaged respects dis moniker because dem know say I no dey fight ruforofo and I no dey cross my line.

Oga, my children's first naive language na IGBO.

So, all those blackmails I dey hear left and right for hear no dey move me because it doesn't portray who I am.

So, Mr OMABALA find another yan talk because I have National duty to call against my far away neighbors, the Kenyanyattas.

It all about debate and defending my fatherland in a more polite and reasonable way and in short I have gathered more informations about the country. I mean it is an eye opener to know some African countries no dey play. Ghanaians, Algerian, South Africans, Sudanese, Ethiopians, etc dey showcase dem and you dey dere dey accuse me of tribalism.

Dey dere dey chop Dutch burger.... . Shame!

How Ezenwa, Alampasu Perfomed During Shooting Practice In Super Eagles Training


https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/8F9088EB-BD3B-4EE8-9784-91FAEC70180F-4654-00000241D3BCB58B.jpeg

The two goalkeepers in the camp of the Super Eagles were up against the other outfield players in a shooting drill which took place yesterday after the players tennis ball session.

Owngoalnigeria.com Michael James witnessed the session and reports that Dele Alampasu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa both displayed cat like reflexes to all that was thrown at them, but Alampasu edged Ezenwa on saves made.


Ezenwa was particularly impressive with balls hit at his chest height while Alampasu was at his best with high hit balls but struggled to cope with grounders, example of such was the well hit drive from Alhassan Ibrahim which evaded him.

Overall both goalkeepers did well during the session which saw almost all of the 17 players in camp take part bar Ahmed Musa who is nursing a knock picked up during the friendly clash against Corsica.

Meanwhile during the shooting exercise Oghenekaro Etebo came out top when it comes to hitting the ball with power and precision, but Uche Agbo also impressed with his shots same as Wilfred Ndidi.

Also worthy of a mention is Alhassan Ibrahim who buried most of his efforts, which were low and hard with directions which left the goalkeepers with little or no chance of making saves.

Countless International universities offer Swahili

Besides recruiting young minds to teach the language, Yoruba, among over 2,000 African languages, is one of the most widely learnt as a second language in Europe and America. The long list of top American universities and colleges that run ambitious, full-fledged programme in Yoruba language and culture include: Harvard University, Stanford University, Cornel University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Massachusetts, Indiana University in Bloomington, Ohio State University, Michigan State University, Ohio University, University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, University of Florida, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Howard University, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, among others.


.......... “Let us analyse the way the language is being taught and learnt in Nigeria and United States. I was told reliably that American universities studying Yoruba are up to 47.......

https://whatsupibadan./2013/11/16/yoruba-language-is-studied-in-47-american-varsities-says-ui-don/




An understanding of Yoruba will grant you access to a wide variety of Yoruba-speaking cultures across the globe. Yoruba is the native language of the Yoruba people, is an official language of Nigeria, and is widely spoken in Togo, Benin, and Sierra Leone. It is also a prominent language for communities in Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, Trinidad, Tobago, Puerto Rico, and Haiti. Yoruba is a language of significant interest to linguists. The skills demonstrated by mastery of less commonly taught languages such as Yoruba are valuable to employers and graduate programs, and fluency in Yoruba itself is sought by government agencies and international non-governmental organizations.

Exclusive: Paris Saint-Germain Hoping To Snatch Iheanacho From Under West Ham's Noses

https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/81084Kelechi.png


French moneybags Paris Saint-Germain are making a late swoop to secure the signature of the talented Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.

West Ham have emerged as the frontrunner to secure the services of the Manchester City wonderkid but face serious competition from PSG, and don't have the financial muscle to compete with the Ligue 1 powerhouse if it goes into a bidding war.

PSG are monitoring the situation of Iheanacho as they consider him one of the most exciting youngsters in Europe, and certainly believe that he has to leave Manchester City to further his career after falling out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola.

Les Parisiens are confident of sealing a deal for the Super Eagles star because they believe West Ham is not a high caliber club like PSG, but are aware that the decision to come to France or stay with a smaller club in England lies with the striker.

Iheanacho, 20, has also been linked with possible moves to Borussia Dortmund, TSG Hoffenheim and Leicester City.

He departed the Super Eagles training camp in Paris on Saturday, but is expected to rejoin the squad ahead of Thursday's international friendly with Togo.

True talk Boss..... True Talk....

I recall I was the first to share the full video link to the Nigeria-Senegal game when the NFF/Super Eagles twitter handles released it via vimeo.... and even after enough people saw the full game, views were still not one.... differing views were still all over the place....

Like you've rightly pointed out, prejudice is indeed human nature, generally speaking.... people will always see what they have made up their mind to wanna see...


But I have learnt to dissociate myself long ago from such prejudice in all areas of my Living especially as regards National team football analyses..... If we go by tribal prejudice, you may not believe the state I hail from in Nigeria if I tell you..... loolll

Anyway, no one here really saw the full game... as for me, I only saw some good part of it thru some link shared here and also thru some other link when second half began... It is sad we cannot get our hands for now on the full video of the game. Hopefully the NFF shares it in their handle or the Super Eagles handle on twitter.

The video Highlights shared via FranceCorsica on Facebook also helped me see a few parts I missed... but the story is still not fully told.

So I get you.... Michael James and co of Owngoalnigeria may just be a little prejudiced in their reports... it is possible.

Really hope the full video can be released... and believe me if I see it... I will surely share it like I did for the Senegal game.

Sorry , I couldn't reply your post and Icon4.

I was engaged in s cyber war with some Kenyans on the politics section and somehow i want to avoid sports small.

Man wan do some ....

Anyway it's indeed very bad, I mean very bad for a big country like Nigeria not to see their matches live.

Very discouraging and embarrassing.

Thank God I no kukuma put my mind for the match not to talk of worrying myself.
