Alex Iwobi talking about Tosin Adarabioyo playing for Nigeria

kennysville:
Alex Iwobi should tell him that there are no guarantees. Starting shirt has to be earned. Otherwise, he should wait for 3 lions call up...

Him buga sef dey too much

comodo:
Gbam!!. The way we downplay our SE players is alarming. Doku don become world class too. Nothing Ikweche no go see for bolt rider hand.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/25/spain-immigration-prime-minister-pedro-sanchez

This is a very interesting article. Excerpt below:

'The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, recently read in parliament a newspaper article from Venezuela about a battered boat that had just arrived on the coast of the South American country with 106 migrants onboard. “The undocumented migrants arrested, among them 10 women and a four-year-old girl, were in terrible condition. The 19-metre boat’s hold emitted an insufferable odour,” he quoted the article as saying.

“This news story could have been published last week, and the migrants could have been Nigerian, Senegalese or Moroccan,” said Sánchez. “In reality, it appeared in a Venezuelan daily on 25 May 1949, and its protagonists were Spaniards, 106 of the 120,000 who crossed [the Atlantic] between 1945 and 1978 to escape misery and Franco’s dictatorship.'

Should be food for thought for those who seem to think that migration (legal and 'illegal') started with Africans seeking a better life, or that it is somehow shameful to be an economic migrant (it always amuses me when people use this as a diss).

I am Igbo and I have stated here that Igbos should be mindful of how they interact with the natives in Lagos and elsewhere. To be honest though, I don't really see racism as I am Igbo and I live in a wealthy country. An instance is how Deborah Yakubu Samuel was roasted to death. However, her killers were released for a baseless reason. The Italian man who murdered a Nigerian because the latter wooed his woman has been sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. Apparently, black lives matter more in non-black countries than in their dominant environment.

Additionally, I am a die-hard realist who prefers to understand humans for who and what they are rather than what I wish them to be. The reality is: humans are tribal regardless of who they are and where they come from. That is a fact I acknowledge and live with. I cannot change it, neither can any. So, why pontificate? Most importantly, I maintain my stance that wealth reduces racism. Any black person who wants to campaign against racism should first work on making sure Africa becomes wealthy. Crying from today to tomorrow to yesterday would not change anything until wealth has been established.

Stop it. Napoli didn’t do him dirty. The situation shouldn’t had escalated to that extent and that’s what happened. This is not Nigeria that, you gets to insult your national team coach, fans without any formal apologies and you try such rubbish at a credible organization “o ti lo”. Star boy allowed a bunch of nonsensical nonentity yes men to deceive him and his now languishing at a backwater league. Fortunately for him, if he excels there, a big club can still sign him. A player of such caliber in his prime doesn’t belong in a backwater league

Turkish player on osimhen

Former Beşiktaş striker 𝔹𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕙𝕒𝕟 𝕂𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕫 as quoted by 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝑯𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒓🎤

"Victor Osimhen, I have never seen such a player since the day he arrived, comes out and tears himself apart when he scores a goal. He never reversed his movements when he stepped left and right. Run to that defender, run to that defender. Well done to you!

"So many big world stars will come to a league like ours and I will get tired watching… This is what you call a football player, he gives full value for the money he gets.

"They hired a guy named Victor Osimhen, can a center forward kick the ball in every position? This is cheating, close this. Osimhen needs to be banned from the Super League, cancel his character. Unfair competition, this guy!

"He comes to his own penalty area for the corner, kicks the ball. He goes to the opponent's penalty area, gets into a goal position. He turns and gets the ball in the midfield, and is in the counter-attack again.

"What kind of a player is this, I have never seen such a player! Send him back, whoever is taking him, Osimhen has become a scourge to the Super League"


I don’t think there’s a better hardworking striker in modern day football right now than monster machine

daveP:
Seeing Atalanta doing what Napoli refused to do to Osimhen is highly commendable. Lookman has enjoyed appreciation and hype from the media team of the club. The manager is also vocal about the kind of player he has. Impressive!

Make e do come Arsenal abeg🥱🥱

missjekyll:
Loook ! Look what I found!

This is from the OBR September 2024.
If all of us pack and go,the UK will shut up shop and close market. We produce so much more than we are given.

I don't want to hear "pim " in this thread again.

Una doo... *sashays out of thread*

The way these folks call billions of pounds in this budget will make you think about your life.

RodgersAkpafu:
Right
I mentioned Bradford
But there is also Blackpool (I've been there too)

Bradford is majority pakistani
Blackpool is majority white
And they are both shitholes,
you know the common denominator between Blackpool and Bradford regardless of the racial mix ?

There is a common denominator, and it has nothing to do with race.
On the other hand, Manchester is a very very diverse area with minority dominated areas that are well run and very neat
Why is minority run neighbourhood and area nice in Manchester and the one in Bradford a wasteland
Okonjo Iweala neighbourhood in the DMV area is majority black and is very well run
Guess what?

Her neighbourhood is not the only neighbourhood that is black predominated and well run
Fayette and Buckhead and other upscale black areas are also popping in the ATL area,
ATL is a hub for black professionals and they have nice upscale areas predominantly black
ATL sef is predominantly black sef

Black areas are not all hoods and dysfunctional
the same way White areas are not all white trash trailer park dysfunctions

My own area is very well diverse and its well run as well. As a matter of policy, I don't live in predominant White areas (that reason why I rejected a very nice job in Norwich, can't live there )
The lie that minorities cannot sustain well run societies is a White Supremacist talking point, and it's a disgrace that black dummies have bought it to, and subscribed to such thinking. To some others, they just like being around places where they are the only blacks in the midst of white folks because of inferiority complex

Again, the tide is against them
Just yesterday they released the data that Englabd and Wales have had the worst fertility rates record in history

Tears surplus everywhere, and trust me to add salt to the injury

Gerrard59:
lol

I wish you guys luck when you try to dissociate humans from tribalism when push comes to shove.

TheSuperNerd:
Meanwhile... for me... 😁

I can bet that you haven't heard of this Naija player.

TheSuperNerd:
FIFA (@FIFAWorldCup) asks a question that seems common but also one that perhaps not many have given deep enough thought to.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NIGERIAN PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

https://x.com/FIFAWorldCup/status/1851255164986077657?t=6vDgPYbRqtYiUbMDL0PiEg&s=19[/quote]For me, it's Rashidi Yekini until someone else breaks his scoring record for the National team.

Also the third-highest Afcon goal scorer with 13 goals

Kog45:
Eagles always have good captain right from Christian Chuckwu,Stephen Keshi,Uche Okechuckwu,Sunday Oliseh,Joseph Yobo and Vincent Enyeama

Kog45:
Recently I saw Semi Ajayi interview I was like what a good guy…..Aina and Iwobi showed real parental control…..my son Awoniyi na real rural boy if he fumbled na slap straight from him papa……I think we have cool guys in Super eagles.

chrisooblog:
What gladdens my heart the more is that these accolades started coming in after he switched to Nigeria.

RodgersAkpafu:
yup

But IbeOkehie will defend the right of Caucasian expansion with his last breath
When you have minorities who think like him, that makes the "fight" more difficult

Bannedlargejr:
One thing that I admire about him is his humility, consideration and professionalism to the game. The man always praises his family, coaches, team, prior to himself. He is very media trained and hardworking. CAF awards is Next

RodgersAkpafu:
I think I'll agree with your paragraph 2 about North America

And besides, whites are fast sliding into minority status in the USA, so even by Gerrard59 definition, they won't be dominant in the land in the next decade
The handwriting is on the wall, and is getting white supremacists panicky

Bannedlargejr:
Osimehn trajectory after that 23 season was very capable of winning. Also, the level of football isn’t as high as the past that any player that excels can win it. The market is open for anyone to Win and one has to be hungry because it’s a dog eat dog world

Kog45:
Thank you my man….award wey my good university friend Emma Olisadebe was nominated for in 2002……apart from top 3 no need to give others unnecessary hype…..i just hope one day a Nigerian will win it

Time for Osimhen and Lookman to go to prestigious club so that they can compete and get that sentiment that’s attach to fan base

Gerrard59:
They are in their dominant land. I don't go about fighting natives in their dominant lands. Again, only African Americans who have been enslaved and fought for their rights should benefit NOT those wey WILLINGLY enter aeroplane. Worse come to worst, I see whites and AAs pairing to fight off other classes of immigrants. Their relationship has gone a long way. Na only Indians and Black Africans I see dying put to benefit from the US. The Chinese don't. Well, we know why - they built their lands.

Gerrard59:
Then scrap it in its entirety as it does more harm than good. If the Chinese who were the first to be excluded from the US based on their race could leapfrog past everyone including the dominant whites to spots in selective universities and jobs, then everyone else could do the same.

ehizario2012:
At this rate, they run the risk of blowing open the economy to a full capitalist system. And that's not always the best.

ehizario2012:
Labour should not think like APC...

Gerrard59:
In my opinion, affirmative action just as federal character should be scrapped. No group in the world has prospered or progressed through such policies. Nigeria (Igbos&Hausa/Fulanis) and Malaysia (Malay&Chinese) are good examples. It does more harm than good. Equal opportunities, not equal outcomes. However, if affirmative action must remain in place, only descendants of enslaved African Americans should be the beneficiaries not black Africans wey enter aeroplane WILLINGLY.

IjeBos:
I don't think people are aware that the only real natives in the US were relegated to reservations by the European colonists.
Outside the Indians, there are no natives of the US , everyone is an immigrant and or descendant of an immigrant.

IjeBos:
Trump was honest about it. basically said he wants more immigrants from white countries and not from shithole countries like Nigeria.
But these Nigerians here still bow down to him.
