It's normal, IGBOs in China speak Chinese more than the origins.

Nothing so special here.
Yoruba is the easiest language to learn besides Hausa in Naija.

Falconets Thrash England 3-0, Storm Into U-20 World Cup Quarter-Finals

Nigeria’s Falconets continued their impressive run at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on Thursday, defeating England 3-0 to secure a place in the quarter-finals in Poland.

Tosin Rafiu, Janet Akekoromowei and Mercy Mamudu scored for Nigeria in a commanding Round of 16 performance that saw the Falconets overcome England and keep Africa’s hopes alive in the competition.

Nigeria made a fast start at the Stadion Miejski in Bielsko-Biała, taking the lead after just eight minutes.

Rafiu produced a moment of individual brilliance, attacking down the left wing before weaving her way through the England defence and firing past goalkeeper Katie Cox.

England responded by enjoying more possession, but Nigeria remained dangerous while goalkeeper Christiana Uzoma proved crucial at the other end.

Uzoma kept the Falconets in front with a brilliant save to deny England forward Princess Ademiluyi.

England were then handed an opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot, but Uzoma again came to Nigeria’s rescue, stopping the in-form Rachel Maltby and pushing the ball onto the bar and away to safety.

Just two minutes into the second half, Akekoromowei doubled the lead with a well-taken left-footed volley to put the Falconets firmly in control.

England tried to find a way back into the contest, but Nigeria continued to create the more dangerous opportunities.

Mamudu then put the result beyond doubt in the 73rd minute, completing a thoroughly deserved 3-0 victory for the Falconets.

The result marks another significant turnaround for Nigeria at the tournament. Moses Aduku’s side began their Group F campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Spain before playing out a goalless draw against China, leaving them with just one point from their opening two matches.

With qualification at stake in their final group match, the Falconets responded with a 10-1 demolition of New Caledonia to finish second in Group F on four points and advance to the knockout stage.

Ramotalahi Kareem and Winner Onajite David scored hat-tricks in that victory, while Rebecca Adegbemile scored twice, with Akekoromowei and Rafiu also finding the net.

Nigeria, two-time runners-up at the U-20 Women’s World Cup, will now face the winner of the Poland-Colombia Round of 16 tie in Lodz on Sunday for a place in the semi-finals.

Wow congratulations girls

My name is Okoro an Awori Bonafide indigene of Amuwo Odofin LG Lagos and I will vote my fellow Chinedu Gbadebo a true son of the soil just like me.

See name you should be ashamed of your name.

AMINDA:
Jimmy Agbaje was also labelled as Igbo and even Oba Akiolu threatened to drown those who vote against APC in the Lagoon. Is it that Tinubu cannot retain Lagos without resorting to tribal and ethnic jingoism? No family can claim to be more Lagosian than the Rhodes-Vivor family. They are practically the real owners of Lagos.

Yorubas cannot be screaming "turn of the South" in the presidential elections while stoking ethnic hatred against their own kin just for having a mother of Southeastern extraction. It will backfire.

U will explain tire

The Madrid derby returns to La Liga on September 20, with Atletico Madrid hosting Real Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. It is still early in the 2026/27 season, but both teams already have plenty to play for, making this one of the most interesting fixtures of the weekend.

Atletico Madrid Looking to Build Momentum

Atletico Madrid have had an inconsistent start to the season, but their latest result will give Diego Simeone's side some confidence. They produced a 3-0 away win against Real Sociedad, despite dealing with several fitness concerns.

The biggest issue remains the availability of key players. Pablo Barrios is expected to miss the derby after suffering a muscle injury, while Julian Alvarez has also been dealing with fitness problems. Alexander Sorloth remains another concern for the attack.

However, Atletico have the advantage of playing at home. Simeone's teams are traditionally difficult to break down in derby matches, and the atmosphere at the Metropolitano could play an important role.

Real Madrid Have the Stronger Overall Momentum

Real Madrid appear to be entering the derby in better overall condition. Their attacking options remain one of their biggest strengths, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham capable of creating problems from different areas of the pitch.

The Madrid side are also managing a busy schedule, with the derby coming shortly after their away trip to Elche. That could force Jose Mourinho to carefully manage his squad.

Real Madrid still have some defensive injury concerns, including long-term absences such as Eder Militao and Rodrygo. Nevertheless, their depth gives them more options than Atletico in several areas.

H2H and Match Statistics

The recent head-to-head record shows why this fixture is so difficult to predict. Real Madrid won the most recent La Liga meeting 3-2 in March 2026, while Atletico won the corresponding league fixture 5-2 earlier in the 2025/26 campaign. The two sides also met in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup, where Real Madrid won 2-1.

For fans comparing previous meetings, current team form and statistical trends, Nowgoal can be useful because its football data includes H2H records, team statistics, fixtures and recent results. These numbers provide useful context before making a prediction, rather than relying only on reputation.

What Could Decide the Derby?

The midfield battle could be crucial.

Atletico will need to compensate for the potential absence of Barrios and prevent Real Madrid from controlling possession too easily. Simeone may therefore prefer a compact structure and look for opportunities to attack quickly.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will probably try to exploit their pace in the final third. Mbappe and Vinicius can stretch Atletico's defensive line, while Bellingham can make late runs into dangerous positions.

Set pieces could also become important. In a tight derby, one defensive mistake or one well-delivered free kick can completely change the match.


Prediction

Real Madrid look slightly stronger on paper, especially in terms of attacking depth and recent consistency. However, Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano should not be underestimated, and the derby atmosphere could make this much closer than the overall form suggests.

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Real Madrid

A draw is also a realistic possibility, but Real Madrid's attacking quality gives them a narrow advantage.

The most important question is whether Atletico can turn home advantage into defensive control, or whether Real Madrid's attacking talent will eventually create the difference.

I think athletico Madrid will win.

ElevationD:
Sorry bro, I think you are missing it.

You cannot be manufacturing the same product for me; I borrow at high amounts to pay your product price + shipping costs to deliver to my retail shop in Trade fair, only for you to compete against me by bringing the same product to the same market directly from your factory at very cheaper rates and expect me to stay silent. That’s very unfair trade practice.

That you people business

motymop:
The govt created all the issue by not enforcing laws against those fixing price, there should be price control

on the Chinese, there is Chinese town in Lagos where they do wholesale and retail, Nigerians go there to patronize them for cheap stuff but also it does not mean the quality are good...govt should make Chinese sellers stay in China town to protect our retailers in our major markets.

in China, foreigners are banned from doing many businesses, the reason is to make sure that citizens are not thrown away from their source of income

if we have to think deep, it is actually difficult to chase them out right now, they could open shops in a market and then use Nigerians as fronts ( Nigerian, partners, wives, gf or bf) as front, so that is a loophole

Now, the reality is that whatever anyone says online about the Chinese, whether they should be allowed to trade retail is just for online and tribal banter

at the end of the day, the owners of retail businesses we be the ones to decide if they want the Chinese in their markets or not through their unions, those unions are very powerful but also their power stops offline

the chinese could just start selling online on instagram, whatapps and other social media, which will undercut the unions and those that also sell online

it is a dicey situation,...i dont agree that chinese should take over retail because they sell cheaper, they could flood the market with low quality clothes and other products and nigerians will think they are of high quality because the person selling is chinese

if they flood our market, they make it hard for the average trader to make money

U will explain tire,China are welcome

Armaggedon:
You think you're fighting the Igbos but Igbos will somehow find away out of the problems for themselves while the ultimate loser will be you. Those businesses you see that you call trade have other businesses that rely on them. When you allow a Chinese who borrowed from China with 3 percent interest rate to compete with a Nigerian who borrowed in an incredibly weak currently with 30 percent interest rate, it not competition, you're killing your economy. Commodity prices will be determined in China, profits will be taken back to China and it'll spread to other sectors, not just retail.
If this is the usual post to get at Igbos, Igbo will find a way out. The ultimate losers are the ordinary Nigerians.

You are already losing

🇪🇬🤝🏽🇳🇬THIS IS HOW IT USED TO BE…

Egyptian Muslims forming a human shield around Coptic churches to protect Christians after a deadly church attack.

This is more than a picture.
This is humanity.

And honestly, this is how it used to be in many parts of Africa,including Nigeria back then..

When danger came, people protected people.
A Muslim could stand in front of a church.
A Christian could protect a mosque.
Neighbours looked after neighbours, regardless of what they believed.

But somewhere along the line, we allowed religion, politics, tribalism and extremism to eat away at our humanity.

Today, sadly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see such scenes..

Instead of asking, “How can I protect my fellow human being?”
some are asking, “What religion is he?”

What happened to us?

Religion was supposed to make us more humane, not less human..

If someone is being attacked because of what they believe, you don't have to share their belief to defend their right to live.

That is the kind of Africa we need to bring back..

An Africa where a Muslim protects a Christian.
A Christian protects a Muslim.
And every human being protects another human being.

Before religion…
Before tribe…
Before politics…
WE ARE HUMAN.

[quote author=Emary post=140647842]It's not a good thing for foreigners to come price out our citizens in our own markets. Can we do the same in China? The same Chinese are mining our resources at ridiculous rates, and we already owe them so much in borrowed loans over the last 10yrs. It's not a tribal thing here, even if the protest is led by the Igbos. It's a gradual colonisation.[/quote

Kalulu44:
After reading majority comments, I just can't help but shake my head.
This tribalism thing has really eating deep into our fabrics especially from Igbo and Yorubas.
Anything that will bring one tribe down is giving joy to the other tribe vice versa.
Honestly as an Igbo man born and brought up in the West. I hardly put mouth into this two tribes matters.
Cus I have good and jolly good friends from both sides of the divides.
.
Now to this Chinese issue, one tribe is happy that the Chinese wants to deprive the other tribe from making money and feel the Chinese are right with what they're doing. But I disagree.
I live in Igbesa Ogun state close to the Chinese free trade zone that has over 200 companies inside the zone producing different types of products you can think of that human beings uses.
Everyday, we watch over 100 trucks and trailers carrying goods to go supply customers outside the state which includes this trade Fair traders.
The Chinese are supplying this traders at wholesale prices, and this traders will still pay transportation to bring the goods to them.
With this, they have certain amount they'll sell the goods to retailers.
Then you as the Chinese companies supplying this traders now decided to bring the goods yourself to their domain and sell at your company's price against the traders retail price.
How does this make sense?
Pls guys let's leave tribal sentiment at times and think about most of the things properly, thanks.

Keep explaining shiii

Sheuns:
The Chinese should be restricted to factory establishments only in Nigeria.

You can’t just allow them come to start doing retails and clearing out competitors that don’t have as deep pockets as them.

Na so una do take kill SMEs all in the name of looking for Foreign investments.

To those of you saying it’s good because it affects a tribe. All I’ll tell you is don’t worry. No Nigerian retailer or wholesaler can compete with the Chinese if this isn’t stopped. Even those of you that sell voile lace, Ankara, and other native fabrics won’t survive this. There’s nothing sold here in Nigeria that’s not coming in from China. They will out sell every one of you and put you out of business.

Shey they’re already marketing and selling Chinese made cars directly here? E go touch everybody round.

Shut it rest.
