Joebie: My very good man, I doff my had for you. We need you, Komekn and tbaba1234, as you have posited, if you all resonate at this same 'high octane' frequency, in the developing Nigerian Nation - vis a vis her football. I'll send you a NL mail but just in case you do not receive it, I'll be happy to speak with you and both men you mentioned You have excellent submissions, I must say, and myself and a few other Nigerians you all know are working hard to harness the positive energies that young professionals of Nigerian origin have for/about/around the game of football. We are carefully selecting those we invite on the basis of knowledge, depth and intelligence exhibited. That's why I have come to you - and everyone I have reached. WhatsApp is the best medium of this ongoing convo. I'll be happy to invite you to one of the most operational places you can directly involve yourself and see it truly manifest. Many times, people say talk is easy. Now we have a platform where you can talk, interphase with "them," hear from the principal officials and suggest directly what your best thought ideas are. A few people here have joined us and can tell you their experiences. Cc: Safarigirl Mujtahida TheGoodJoe P.S: Dropping phone numbers or email addresses on NL have proven to be risky over time. Fruadsters often take advantage of that, often times long after the need is completed. That's why I have been unable to do so. I hope you'll respond to my NL ails. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: I need you to help speak with all the quality people you know and have a good relationship with. I really dislike the cold shoulder I have received over time from so many folks. I "chased" you, for example, for nearly eight months! I understand the reasons though. People can be quite reluctant to talk to totally new people and give up the freedom to be totally unknown, a feature NL offers. The sad part is that I believe Europeans monitor this thread while our own chiefs may have no idea of the enormity of options and suggestions you guys put up regularly here. In addition, folks who join us wouls also be able to channel their passion directly to source, and would also have a clearer idea of what our issues really are. Meanwhile, I am still expecting the alternative # you spoke to me about. We must make the right calls at/to/around the ears of the right people. I have had to create time to write on this thread a little more than I may have wanted while we try to get the people we want to join us. Once we complete that, I would be back to my regular. |

kennysville: It didn't start in Brazil. In USA 94, the Italians, after falling one goal behind very early - and the world had woken up to learn the Nigerian?African unusual style of physical and beautiful play, simply - and tactically - ensured that Amokachi and Amuneke were injured and substituted very early in the game. They got no red cards on their way to achieving this. Zola, who was red-carded (and they still beat us anyway!) much later in the game, earned the red for a totally unrelated occurrence. Of course, Thompson Oliha, of blessed memory, and my big friend, Mutiu Adepoju who came in for the Nigerian wingers were no perfect matches for the Bull and the flying left winger in Amokachi and Amuneke respectively. That left Rashidi Yekini (God rest his soul) all alone with an Italian Mafia defence, Rashidi could only huff and puff without any results. I have watched that game over and again and even protested about it on FIFA.com! Yekini was so disillusioned that when now-Chelsea FC Chief, Mike Emenalo, playing as a left back in place of Benedict Iroha and donning jersey 19, eventually cut through from the left and made Yekini a marvelous pass from heaven in the late stages of the second half of extra time, with Nigeria 2-1 down and facing exit from the World Cup, Baba Yekini apparently had forgotten how to take a hot shot first time and blast it into the yapping net. He attempted to 'dress' the ball first to get into a more comfortable shooting position. That was the end of the story. You don't try that in the face of a storm. The Italian defence recovered in a twinkle of a second and snuffed Yekini and danger out. The Super Eagles crashed and Nigeria's maiden World Cup appearance came to a stuttering end. NIGERIA was later named the second most entertaining team at the USA 94 Mundial, second only to eventual champions, Brazil. I understand Yekini was awarded something for "Best Behaved Player" at that World Cup. I am not sure. Bottom line: Europe would NEVER EVER allow Africa to have the best opportunities that can stand in their way. For as long as our players continue to seek 'greener pastures' in Europe for the lucre, and our local leagues are nothing to write home about in terms of officiating and organisation, we would never rule the world of football - and global success in the game of football MAY continue to be a mirage. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Icon4s: I don't think so, with due respects Sir. I think that if we harness and groom our talents well, we have what it takes to defeat Brazil at the full senior level - and regularly too. This thing is simple: population and diversity. The larger a population, if optimally primed, the more abundant the possibilities and potentials therein. That is why we are the most successful country in the world at male cadet football level. It suggests that we have the innate quality but our growth and development has/had perennially been stymied. The only reason we shocked the World in USA 94 was because we were underrated and the real World barely knew us and our capacity. Bulgaria underestimated us. Meanwhile, we may have been lucky that Stoichkov's early freekick goal was ruled out. Those 1994 boys never showed the world that they had the mental strength to come back from losing positions - at least not in the four matches they played at that World Cup Greece were the whipping boys in the group. Argentina and Maradona+Cannigia hit them twice and they lost SiaSia's wonderful sole goal lead. Against Italy, same thing. Amuneke has scored early and mental fatigue set in. We collapsed with two minutes to go. The 1994 team was at the King Fahd Cup in 1995, wasn't it? Our people like to forget that. They drew Argentina 0-0 and lost on PKs to Mexico and Jorge Campus. Watch those games again. They weren't giant killers per se. So Nigeria had never really had a globe-conquering senior squad, not out of lack, but because of poor planning when compared to the best countries in the world. We may win AFCON but we need to do much more in terms of the science and technology aside the pure art of football, if we intend to win the World Cup. It is the same that happened with Senegal at the 2002 World Cup. France underestimated them, like Spain also did to Nigeria in 1998. We have the quality to win Brazil, or at least be at par with them. All we need to do is to organise ourselves better. Italy showed how to defeat the [/i]Jogo Bonito[i] Brazil all-playing squad, from as early as Espana '82, en route their third World Cup win. 4 Likes |

Hello Folks. As we wait upon this match that is likely to qualify us for the World Cup in Russia, I must salute the dedication that very many of you have put into discussing the Senior Male National football team for so long, spanning more than a thousand pages of this thread. The enormity of information on this thread is enough, if used appropriately, to set up the template for building national football teams that can win the world cup at cadet, youth and senior levels under the next two decades. I must however let you know that nairaland may be too narrow, and/or too far, despite the huge abundance of information being shared here, for the administrators and officials that make the most important decisions regarding Nigerian football. Narrow in the sense that there are too many distractions and trolling, bickering and tribal all-what-nots for some real talk on this website and that might just keep the eyes that matter away from the significant knowledge regularly shared hereon. 1 Like |

Sometimes we just need to be patient before we hug news and misinterpret it. As you can see from the Dr's quote and hashtag, "#veterianarymedicine," he extracted that object from the gut of an animal. He is an animal Dr. Now some animals are known to swallow all manners of objects for all manners of reasons. In essence, that didn't come out of a human being. 5 Likes |

Health / Re: 'Taking Fanta, Sprite With Vitamin C Is Poisonous' - Court Orders NAFDAC To Warn by Fringes(m): 10:56am On Mar 14, 2017 |
This ought to have happened AGES ago. It is so simple and doesn't require scientific knowledge to know that FANTA in the UK is very different from FANTA in Nigeria. In UK, you can virtually taste the ORANGE in the Fanta Orange. In Nigeria, you know you are simply drinking some sweet colouring. In better climes, Dr. Fijabi Adebo deserved a national award for going out of his way to prove this. What we do to ourselves in Nigeria, by Nigerians to Nigerians - not colonial masters anything o! - is often atrocious, yet we perennially try to hide under a finger and blame others. 6 Likes |

FC Ifeanyi Ubah suspends Team Manager, apologises to all stakeholders and fans for the outcome of the match between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah FC Ifeanyi Ubah has suspended its Team Manager, Mr. Jonathan Igwe for four matches for the role he played in the abandonment of the NPFL curtain raiser between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano yesterday. In a press release made available on the club's website and signed by the Chairman of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Mr. Chukwuma Ubah, the club condemned in plain terms the conduct of its team manager while apologising to the President of the NFF, Mr. Amaju Pinnick, the Chairman of the LMC, Mallam Shehu Dikko, the Governor of Kano State, H.E. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, other relevant stakeholders, fans and football lovers for its role in the disappointing start of the NPFL while promising to uphold the statutes and tenets of the beautiful game. Read the press statement below: "Our attention has been drawn to the sad events that led to the abandonment of the opening game of the 2016/2017 NPFL season between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah on the 14th of January, 2017 at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano. After extensive investigations into the occurrences that culminated in the disappointing start of the Nigeria Professional Football League, the Management of FC Ifeanyi Ubah has arrived at the following findings: 1. That the Team Manager, Mr. Jonathan Igwe in a rather autocratic and unprofessional manner took laws into his hands by dishing out orders to the team without due recourse to the statutes and ethics of the game. 2. That his actions were borne out of an uncontrollable emotion owing to his perceived antagonistic behaviour of the centre referee who he claimed allowed a goal that was flagged offside by the linesman to stand against us and disallowing a legitimate goal scored by FC Ifeanyi Ubah via a direct free kick deep into stoppage time of the first half. 3. That he is deeply remorseful for his actions and the role he played in the eventual abandonment of the match between Kano Pillars and our darling club, FC Ifeanyi Ubah at the Sani Abacha Stadium which also resulted in him being given a red card by the centre referee. In view of the aforementioned, the club has reached the following decisions: 1. That the Team Manager Mr. Jonathan Igwe is suspended for four (4) football matches with immediate effect and will forfeit one (1) month salary/allowances for his unprofessionalism and role in the eventual abandonment of the match. 2. That the Team Manager is not to be seen in the venue of any FC Ifeanyi Ubah match during the period of his suspension. 3. That the Team Manager is mandated to issue a letter of apology and promise of good conduct to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the organisers of the NPFL, the League Management Company (LMC) within 72 hours. 4. That the Team Manager is also to issue a written unreserved apology letter to the club and its teeming fans. The Management of FC Ifeanyi Ubah hereby tenders an unreserved apology to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the League Management Company (LMC) for the outcome of the match between Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah which was supposed to be a befitting curtain raiser for the 2016/2017 NPFL season. Our most sincere and heartfelt apology goes out to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Pinnick and the Chairman of the League Management Company, Mallam Shehu Dikko who has done so much in promoting the NPFL while raising the standards of the league and football in Nigeria. We also wish to apologise to all important dignitaries, especially the Governor of Kano State, H.E. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Management of Kano Pillars, the good people of Kano State, Chairmen of various State FAs, sponsors of the NPFL and members of the press who were present to witness the match. Finally, may we use this medium to apologise to our teeming fans and football lovers all over Nigeria and around the world for the disappointing display that has brought the name of the beautiful game to disrepute. This is highly regrettable and we wish to state categorically that we would do everything within our powers to make sure that such occurrence does not repeat itself. The club condemns explicitly the unprofessional conduct of Mr. Jonathan Igwe and believe that the sanctions imposed on the Team Manager will serve as a severe deterrent to the entire management and playing staff of the club. FC Ifeanyi Ubah vows to uphold the statutes and tenets of the beautiful game we love so much. Thank you and God bless." 1 Like |
