Sports / Nigeria To Appoint Former Cameroun And Jamaica Boss As Super Eagles Head Coach by gentleguy1975: 12:28pm On Sep 16

Nigeria to appoint former Cameroon and Jamaica boss as Super Eagles head coach
The Nigeria Football Federation is on the verge of naming German coach Winfried Schafer as the new head coach of the Super Eagles, Soccernet.ng reports.

This decision comes after weeks of negotiations, with Schafer expected to succeed Augustine Eguavoen, who has served in an interim capacity since late August.

According to the Guardian, NFF has reached an agreement with Schafer, who has previously managed Cameroon, Thailand, and Jamaica, to take charge of Nigeria’s senior national team.

J

Schafer’s experience, which includes winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon in 2002 and leading Jamaica to the Caribbean Cup title in 2014, made him a top candidate.

The NFF had initially set its sights on Bruno Labbadia, but the deal fell through due to unresolved tax issues. The federation also explored the possibility of appointing Sweden’s former coach Janne Anderson and AFCON-winning tactician Hervé Renard before settling on Schafer.

Schafer’s official unveiling is expected soon, with reports suggesting he will bring his own backroom staff. However, discussions about local assistants are ongoing.



Interim coach Eguavoen will return to his role as NFF Technical Director following Schafer’s appointment.

Fondly known as “Winnie,” Schafer’s last managerial position was with Al-Khor in Qatar in 2021. His playing career saw him feature in 403 Bundesliga matches, scoring 46 goals.

Schafer’s coaching résumé is impressive, boasting titles across various leagues, including the Bundesliga, UAE Football League, and the Caribbean Cup.

Schafer will be tasked with leading Nigeria through their crucial 2025 AFCON qualifiers and the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Nigeria is the only country without public toilets, you can only find them in the filling stations or restaurants. So if you are pressed in an area without filling stations, what will you do?
another option is bank

Health / My Experience With Caffeine Intake And BP Readings by gentleguy1975: 12:05pm On Sep 05
My fellow nairalanders,

I went for my BP check early last month and got a 140\90 figured, but the pharmacist insisted I come the following morning to recheck,later that I stumbled on a that caffeine shoots up the BP readings temporarily for like 30 minutes and incidentally I took a bottle of Pepsi before going for the BP check

Fast forward to the following morning, I got a reading of 110/85!

Same experience 3 days ago as I took some kolanut before going for the check
I hope this post helps, because some people might erroneously believe they have high BP

Dates is extremely expensive.And some people dislike it because it's extremely sweet just like sugar.Dates should be eaten in moderation because of its sugar content.
yeah it's very sweet but it has low glycemic index that is, its sugar content does not rush into the blood and therefore not likely to cause diabetes, although like every food,it should be taken in moderation

I think you are slow. So the people that hawk apples in Nigeria do so because it grows in their place? Or because Hausas are mostly the ones that hawk sugar cane hence sugar cane is only grown in the north?

Your education is looking more like a waste.
