The same Costa Rica way Messi dey face Na Spain nack 7

Costa Rica no be South America bro

The attitude of both academics and non-academics staff in Nigerian public tertiary institutions is quite distasteful. Most of these workers readily treat students as trash and I still don’t understand why. Currently trying to finish clearance so I can go to camp but it seems these people are hellbent on frustrating students no matter your status (except of course you’re ready to rub their palm or you have a valuable connection with them).

I laugh at those who readily support ASUU and NASI against the Nigerian government, if they know the kind of nonchalant attitude tertiary institutions staff display towards students ehn, they would even want to give award to FG for maltreating them too.

Tell the guy to keep on meeting those he thinks can help out. If he can get the VC or deputy VCs contact, he should go directly to them to explain his situation.

BlaqFaze:
Was there any target this man didn't meet...this man took us from the scraps after a local coach , Sunday Oliseh dismantled the team into pieces. He made us good again, he made us believe, he brought the best out of players like Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ighalo, etc...we qualified to the "2018 WC Russia" in style beating the then Africa champions Cameroon 4-0 at home, beating Algeria 3-1 at home also.

We also played well in the WC compared to other African teams, although we didn't make it out of the group stage (solely because of Argentina and Messi) but we played with confidence.

We also played well in the 2019 AFCON but we were just unlucky to finish third after losing in the semi finals to eventual winners Algeria. The fact that Nigeria was one of the favourites to win this year's AFCON was because of what Rohr's side did in the past.

Now we the officially the laughing stock of Africa that 1-0 win against Egypt was a curse in disguise.

This is exactly what most people don’t understand. Rohr team always have a way to play better away and if he was here, Nigeria would have scored at least a goal in Ghana to make this match easier for us.

Check Rohr’s qualifier records in away matches, he scored in more than 75% of the matches even if the team has a lackluster performance.

Titaniumental:

Yes,there is away Goal rule and that is by yhe virtue of FIFA rule

This is not a CAF thing sir, it's FIFA thing,they ain't playing AFCON qualifiers they are playing FIFA World cup qualifier

It’s a CAF thing bro, all continental football associations are reserved the right to set their own qualifications mode and rules based on the allotted slots by FIFA.

Try to read up about it sir.

Olam09:


No there is no fucking away goal rule.. this is fifa game not UEFA. UEFA decided to adopt the fifa method this year, abolishing away goal rules. So in short there is no away goal rule in this game.

There’s away goal rule bro. This qualifiers is strictly a CAF thing and CAF has away goal rule in place to serve as tiebreaker.

Imagine being stupid enough to think an army of 500,000 with thousands of tanks, hundreds of fighter jets, battle ships, thousands of ballistics missiles, millions of ammunitions, thousands of millitary facilities with billions of dollars worth of arms from all of Europe and america will fall within 2 days.
You have to be a retar.d to think that ,to put your Total lack of knowledge into perspective,it took USA 20years and $3t ,8 times Nigeria's gdp to fight talliban who don't have 10% of Ukraine millitary capabilities and we still lost

Please, just in the spirit of acquiring more knowledge, can you explain in clear terms how the US lost in Afghaneastern?

Kingpin1000:
Lol.
I have always said this after this war,there will be two worlds. The west and it's allies and the East and its allies.
It is long overdue for a substitute currency.. Africans and Asians will embrace the Chinese Yuan as a substitute for dollar.. if this happens, inflation will drop in many African countries.
Just imagine say I want import goods I go dey buy dollar in very high price and na China I dey import from o..
Which kind nonsense slavery be that.

You’re not telling yourself the truth. There’s a bilateral agreement between Nigeria and China for trade to occur in their respective currencies without any recourse to the dollar. Most times when you guys analyze, you do so with emotions and this lead to you spewing outright lies or half truths just because you want to support something or an issue you’ve no adequate knowledge of.

internationalman:
I've yet to see one popular Russian product Putin supporters enjoy...

Most hating on the USA are probably typing their comments with Apple products or HP computers..

If it's not hypocrisy then it's stupidity

Also for some pro-Putin, it’s just a way for them to be seen as exposed and intelligent, that’s why you see that they’re always in rush to denigrate Pro-Wests, and they (Pro-Putin) does this by accusing Pro-West of being led by western media propaganda.

But then, when you ask the them (Pro-Putin) where they get their own news from, you realized it’s still the technology and media built by the west that they use to access all information that made them fell in love with mother Russia

One of the best way I pass time these days is to come here to read Nairaland war analysts and strategists emotional outbursts

Brendaniel:


That's the thing I'm saying, Bill gates has never asked Africans what they want, He would carry billions of dollars and give the government, if and opinion poll is opened on what Nigerians want before he gives each of those donations( I mean what the money should be used for), I mean as serious poll, Bill gates will change the direction of that money from the government to the people, take case from the Covid Palliatives and funds here in Nigeria, did the people get the benefits till they went and stole it from the government...

In Africa what the people want is not what the government wants...

Then the African people needs to do more in the selection of their own government so the government would always want what the African people want, or do you want to still blame the West for that?

Brendaniel:


For me as an African don't fall into that category, that is why I am calling out these issues for Africans to reject the system that was imposed on us and stop supporting the west because all they do is to their benefit, they keep acting like they don't know the real problems facing Africa because the problems benefits them and some Africans are still thinking that the west have the best for them in mind by supporting their actions and in-actions...

You’re quite right in your postulation but the problem is still the subtle blaming of West. It’s human for people to always look out for what benefits them, the West aren’t evil for that. I can assure you that Africans would behave worse if we’re to be the fittest and wield the kind of power the West has today.

So you see, it’s always going to be like this and I repeat the West has no blame (overt or covert) because of you keep on talking about the West that way then you’re acknowledging that Africans can’t make their own decisions.

And to add, Africans would always support the west because among the fittest of the world today, the West provides the best form of support to the Africans, this is the reality that some of the east (China for example) is adopting the same style of providing support so as to earn the goodwill of Africans.

Brendaniel:


Did Africa ask the West what they want?
The question you should be asking is have they given Africans( not Africa) a listening ear, there are so many petitions written to the united nations, EU and America by different ethnic groups about genocide, Injustice and so on going on in Africa by the same leaders who they( EU , UN and America) still welcome and give accolades, when these ethnic groups begin to carry arms against against the government, they tag them terrorist, Africa as it stands needs lots referendums to gain peace and stability, most African countries were created by the Europeans and I can tell you that till date most of them are going through problems because of the way it was created(I can go into more details about this if you want me) and I will break it down for you to understand better, The system we are running here was imposed on us for selfish reasons...

Now, I would help you understand my point. Remember biology? This world is the survival of the fittest. The West are currently the fittest in the world and so are making the decisions for others. If Africans want to make their own decisions then they have to make themselves very fit enough.

Africans are a set of people that easily look for who to blame for their misfortunes and they never want to accept their own weaknesses.

The West have not always been the fittest in the world, they actually worked their butt off to take them to the position they’re today and whether you like it or not, they would always make decisions that would favour them and them alone.

Brendaniel:
What I hate about this war is the double standard America and other countries are doing, I'm not justifying Putin's invasion, what I know is whatever will not benefit Europe and America they will never put hand in it, Europe and America have been raping Africa of it's resources from left right and center with bad leaders they impose on the people, have they ever been concerned about the people of Africa concerning the type of leadership and style of governance that Africans want

Instead they impose everything on Africans even up to laws without asking if we are ok with such, an African president that will openly kill his people committing genocide will still be invited for UN meetings and will be awarded in some cases for keeping democracy in that country even if it means killing his own people to maintain democracy.

THEY HAVE NEVER ASKED WHAT DO AFRICANS WANT

Why would you expect them to ask for what “Africans want”? Did Africa ask the West what they want?

The problem with your analysis is that you think the West owes Africans anything, when in reality, no one owes anyone anything. All human actions are done for a reason, which is usually more than often, selfish in nature.

Until Africans start taking their own life serious without any recourse to the West, the better for them. The West won’t make Africa better, because it’s not Africans than made West better, Africans are with sole responsibility to make Africa better.

Kabongo1:


Who led the fight? A CIA agent from benghazi that has always been anti Ghaddafi

Hear yourself, so if CIA agent starts a fight other non-CIA Libyans are not interested in, why didn’t they stop the fight and protect their so much liked and revered leader Gaddafi?

Whether you accept it or not, Libyans were the ones that revolted against Gaddafi and the West only supported it because it suits their foreign policy in regards to Libya and Gaddafi

Ramon92:


how do one learn if not from the experience of others? Yes, I read and watch events from both sides of events and that has helped me personally and in making my own judgements.

Cos it happened in Libya which isn't my country should not make me less concerned, but that it happened close to my country should make me more concerned cos either way, and in the end the ripple effect will get to me or worse similar thing might happen here.

How will I then respond?

The little prob I have with peeps like you is the rush to denigrate anyone that tends to tilt towards being Pro-West, you guys are quick to rebuff them saying they get their news from western media (who you’ve termed propagandists) but fail to acknowledge the fact that you get your news from some form of media that other can also give names to.

In the issue of international politics, emotions have a lot more to influence than facts and this is something that’s applicable to everyone, whether pro-west or pro-east.

On Libya and Gaddafi, the reality is that the indigenous Libyan people took up arms against gaddafi, just because they’re supported by NATO doesn’t change the fact that the Libyan people led the fight against Gaddafi - Until a pro-east analyst accept this irrefutable fact about Libya, I won’t take the person serious.

Picking a side in the Russia - Ukraine faceoff for some Nigerian Nairaland self acclaimed analysts is a matter of emotions devoid of clearly worded objectivity.

For the Pro-West, Putin is a dictator and should be stopped at all cost. Most don’t even understand background nor ramifications of some actions and in actions of Ukraine and her western allies and supporters. They also forget easily about the cuban missile crisis and how US and her allies reacted.

For the Pro-Putin, The West are hypocrites with their continuous media propaganda. Some pro-Putin are also “haters” of the American system and people and so are happy for any possible destruction of the American people.

What both parties lack is objectivity to analyze the situation based on its own peculiar premises which will enable them to reach far reaching logical conclusions that the only people to suffer from the shenanigans of both the West and Putin are the innocent Ukrainian people who might not recover from the destruction this shameful show of power would cause.

No matter who’s right or wrong, the only results of war is destruction.

Awesometouch1:

Why would you say they were driven out of Afghanistan with AK 47 whereas they were there for 20years and decided to leave when they wanted to?

You’re asking this question because you think that OP knows what he/she is talking about. But I would advise you not to disturb yourself because that OP doesn’t have the required mental capacity nor capability to logical analyze what happened in Afghanistan.

Just leave him to his folly.

jaxxy:


Lmao! America has no strong allies. I will leave u in ur grand delusion. Who is China or North Korea??

North Korea is just another Iraq noise maker. South Korea will take care of them.

And Japan will obliterate China. I haven’t even mentioned UK, Canada and Australia. Or isreal east Europeans and Middle East alies. Lmao

Bro just forget these noisemakers on Nairaland. Most of them are so ignorant and are always quick to say nonsense. Imagine saying America doesn’t have allies?

Like I have been reading all sort of nonsense since but that OP own is unimaginable for someone trying to pass as someone with required knowledge about International politics.

CharleyBright:


You still miss the point.
Like you rightly pointed out, "24" Premiered long before GOT. Everyone that watched all seasons of 24 loved it. So the question is, how come a newly Premiered GOT was able to gain more traction and followership more than 24 in all the years that both series were released? Shouldn't a much loved and accepted 24 gain more traction with the social media than newly Premiered GOT that year?
Do you mean the same social media that you say worked for GOT couldn't also work for the much loved '24'?
There must have been something particularly special about GOT that got it the traction.

Secondly, there was some discrepancies on whether to still give Keifer Sutherland the role of Jack Bauer in the next episode.
I personally started watching 24 in 2006 and i followed 24 very closely and know much of the off screen issues.
When in season 9 I noticed the role they gave the lady, I told my wife that the producers were up to something and trying to play with viewers mind to see if they would accept her as the leading character for next season. So I wasn't surprised when that cropped up as they wanted to substitute Keifer.
Of course, viewers complained and that lead to cancellation of the show amidst Keifer Sutherland demanding pay increment.
He moved on to another series - Designated Survivor. And as you saw in that series, he didn't play a boisterous action role like Jack in 24 simply because he is older and gotten slower.

And lastly, don't get me wrong I love 24 as one of my best Series, but the intrigues in GOT is spectacular.
Besides, GOT has everything you need in a great movie - War, action, Romance, Politics, Mystery, Intrigue, Suspense Treachery, Espionage, Family Rivalry, Magic, History... you can name it.
Perhaps these are the reasons it stands above 24 (in my opinion though).
I still follow GOT on Twitter.

You are the one that missed the point. 24 best years/seasons where premiered when social media was not the “thing”. GOT was premiered when social media was already a “thing” and that’s why the traction was gained and momentum sustained by GOT promoters. Imagine 24 being promoted as a new show now, I can bet with you that the followership would be something crazy. 24 cut across all things a series should analyze and the plot run so deep and real that everyday people can resonate with it.

And about the lady introduced in season 9, whether or not she was to replace jack isn’t something I am concerned with, the fact is 24 has a better plot than GOT. The only reason anyone would think otherwise is because of social media traction gotten by GOT and that was duly aided by the actions of the promoter on social media.

CharleyBright:


You are wrong to say 24 didn't get same attention as GOT because of social media. Social Media was there when 24 came out. Why didn't it get same attention as GOT??

For obvious reasons, GOT was getting more traction than "24 " on social media even when viewers enjoyed both series.
1. GOT had a better plot than 24 and the intrigues was deeper.
2. GOT had a bigger budget and casting than 24. These factors are considered in rating.
3. "24" as a series revolved around Jack Bauer, unlike GOT with many casts that you can't pinpoint to one singular individual as the central cast.
Do you know why 24 ceased to come up again?
It's because the Producers felt Jack (keifer Sutherland) was getting older and slower, and they strongly contemplated on replacing him with the lady in season 9. This hasn't gone well with viewers. Couple with the fact demanded for increase in pay whereas the producers felt his performance was dwindling.
For me, 24 is an exceptionally good series, but GOT is better and bodies of Producers and Directors and those that rate series in the industry says so too.
That's why GOT has won more awards and 24 hasn't.

You’re quite wrong with your submissions. 24 first season premiered in 2001 while that of GOT premiered in 2011, that’s a whole 10 years difference where social media has been a “thing” already. If 24 was to be aired now, it would sure get more traction than GOT - this is an opinion that’s hold by many industry critics.

Talking about deep plot and 24 been centered around Jack Bauer doesn’t make it any less intriguing and suspense-filled. The 24 plot is quite deeper (in my own opinion). 24 wasn’t produced again because Kiefer Sutherland wasn’t interested and he instead started Designated Survivor. You don’t expect Jack not to get older and his aging doesn’t in anyway take anything from the fact that 24 has a better plot than GOT. GOT lived mainly on social media hysteria and mob culture just like Blacklist nothing exceptional apart from the bogus budget and parading of stars.

To me, Prison break has an even better plot than GOT. GOT was quite okay tho.

Gr8lex:

I like how you added 'that I know of' when you were talking about 24 not winning awards because 24 won loads of awards. About GOT, the series lost direction when they got to where the novel stopped.
I'm still waiting for GRRM to finish the novel because they ended the series terribly.
I also think social media actually helped GOT because if there was social media back then, we won't be having this argument.

Exactly what I want to say as a reply to that poster. The only reason 24 didn’t get the same attention as GOT is simply Social Media. All aspects of life was covered on 24, nothing was left out and it was so real that you can imagine happenings of the film.

24, to me, is the greatest series ever produced.

Verily, the Nigerian situation is intricately overwhelming. Values have been eroded and everything else that can be termed good is becoming elusive.

jaxxy:


Indiscipline and interference in the camp is what causes the failure. Also the ridiculous promises of money if they win this match and that match ahead of the game is another distraction we bring in the team and they begin to play for money rather than passion.

The camp should have less distractions especially when they are doing well bt that’s went government officials want to show themselves and power and influence. They come in and distract the boys.

Also they use of fones should be reduced or prohibited until later in the competition. Imagine the distractions they will be getting from social media. The keeper saying he’s single and likes toxic women was uncalled for at that time.

All these add to the distractions and unseriousness.

We’re quite in the same page. The onus is on the players as professionals to prove their worth. All this distractions would always be there no matter who the coach is, because as a people, Nigerians generally like unnecessary show offs. The players need to get their head in the game at those crucial moment when the ovation is loud so they can maintain the right energy and tempo. This is something that the coach can’t do except the players are ready to step up.

Nigerian polithiefcians and elites would always rush to associate with the team when they’re winning and it’s left for the players themselves to set their priorities right.

jaxxy:



The boys were passionate at the beginning and focus. They were not carried away by the small wins rather we Nigerians were carried away by the wins and distracting the players, unnecessary people and delegates started trooping in to see them I don’t know what for. Buhari’s unnecessary boring political call with all the useless protocols just b4 the match.


All these were what distracted and affected the boys.

For the distractions to get to them shows they’re quite unprofessional. Also, my submission isn’t about this AFCON alone, it’s a recurring issue that I have noticed with the super eagles. When the ovation is loudest, it’s always easier for them to fumble. And this has a lot to do with the players psychology.

Looking at the Nigerian situation, one wonders why, after so many years of negligent leadership in the name of democracy, there has been no courageous move by the Nigerian army to rescue the nation. But then, when one considered, albeit carefully, the cause of the rot in Nigerian leadership system, then one accept that the Nigerian Army leadership system is more ineffective and corrupt than their democratic counterparts. This reality, confirms that the Nigerian people seemed to be doomed in all fronts, because there’s apparently lack of hope or succor coming from anywhere.

This situation in Burkina Faso, is virtually obtainable in most African countries because like that of Nigeria, all systems of leadership is ineffective and senselessly corrupt. To move forward, there’s need for Africans to create a form of government away from military autocratic and democratic systems. Evidence has shown that these two systems has contributed little or nothing to the development of most African countries.

Africans need to understand that the emotional and mental capacity, socio-economic characteristics, cultural and moral ideology, religiosity and spirituality plays major roles in choosing a leadership system that works for a group of people.

Democracy, same as military autocracy has not and can not work to develop any African country to the extent where Africa will be respected all over the world. Researchers should do more to create an hybrid kind of system that would be effective in leadership administration of the African people.

Doyou2019:


No be about coach, na player passion and dedication to succeed. Eagles stopped being passionate the time when AGHAHOWA was the only one fighting in a squad of 23. Na so we see am ooo. That guy was the last real one we ever had.

This is the reality most Nigerians find it difficult to accept. Nigeria super eagles problem is not tactical or physical, it’s majorly psychological.

Our players are dispassionate especially when it matters most. The best time super eagles played well in the last 15 years is when they’re written off (especially after several bad performances), and the worst time is when they’re been praised (after some good performances). How NFF doesn’t notice this pattern beats me. There’s a serious need for proper psychological evaluation for super eagles players going forward. No matter your skill or experience, once there’s lack of passion, the player should be dropped. This is the only way super eagles can achieve something tangible.

Rohr (although with a boring game style) was able to some extent to psyche up the players at times (reason why his turnout is the best after Keshi among the super eagles coaches in the last 15 years) but Nigerians felt he was the problem not knowing the players are actually the problem.

Even Guardiola would fail if nothing is done about those players passion and seriousness (especially when it matters most) does not improve.

MT:
Super Eagles, are you watching and learning passions and desire in the face of impossible ?. They are going out on their own shield. That must be a goal of the tournament.

This is why I would always insist super eagles problem is majorly passion and seriousness. Our boys aren’t passionate enough especially when it’s needed for them to be.

Yesterday match, right from the first half, showed a super eagles that wasn’t serious nor passionate about wining. They’re easily carried away by small wins and so always found wanting when it matters most.

Occurstaem:

No, that's not true.
We've qualified for three world cup in a row since 2010. Now will be our fourth in a row if we make it.
We won the AFCON in 2013.
Rohr was appointed in 2016 and missed 2017 AFCON.

Rohr didn’t miss the 2017 AFCON, please be sure of what you say. Rohr was appointed when were already out of qualifying for AFCON 2017. Oliseh was the coach then. Thanks. Rohr has qualified Nigeria for all the qualifiers he partook in (only Qatar pending).

In the history of coaching super Eagles, only Westerhof and Late Keshi can be said to have a better turnover than Rohr yet Nigerians won’t stop disparaging this coach who gave them better experience of qualifying to competitions without heartaches the nation was used to in the recent years before his appointment.

Before 2013 Nations cup, super eagles failed to qualify for 2011 nations cup (losing a match at home in the process - Almighty Siasia was the coach if I am correct), I didn’t see Nigerians insulting siasia as much as they have done to Rohr.

In the process of wining AFCON 2013, Nigeria drew their first two matches (their opponents equalized in the dying minutes of both games), won Cape Verde with two penalties to qualify. So many Nigerians already wrote them off back then, only to start supporting them after they won Ivory Coast - a performance that boosted their confidence and propelled them to go on to win the competition. Yet Keshi resigned because of lack of appropriate support. Same Kesh would end up not qualifying Nigeria to the 2015 nations cup and he was sacked in the process. 2017 still no show for the super eagles at AFCON.

Come in Gernot Rohr, in his first assignment, qualified Nigeria to the World Cup convincingly, not losing any match - in a group that included Cameroon (AFCON 2017 champions), Algeria (Who went on to win AFCON 2019) and Zambia (AFCON 2012 champions). Qualified again for AFCON convincingly (still didn’t lose any match). 2019 Nations cup, beat the likes of Cameroon, South Africa and Tunisia to claim third place, losing to the eventual winners Algeria.

To those that want to hang Rohr because of lack of attractive football, tell me exactly, when last super eagles played attractive football (I watch super eagles very well - the last time they played attractively was during 2018 qualifiers and the 2019 AFCON).

Rohr is not the super eagles problem, the players attitude is mostly the problem, they don’t see qualifiers (especially against low ranked team) as something they need to pull their “all” in.

Rohr would qualify the super eagles for World Cup and also have a better outing at the AFCON but the NFF would be making a very grave mistake to relieve him of those duties.

Those calling for Rohr’s sack lack the ability to see through super eagles players mental and tactical abilities and how the competition they’re playing in affects these players. Rohr sure do have his incompetences but with all he has done calling for his sack is not the right thing to do now!

Princedapace:


The only team super eagles can beat in that group is DRC.
Others will win and qualify. Super eagles can't beat Senegal, Alegria, Egypt, Tunisia, etc in a crutial playoff as it stands.

Super eagles comfortably beat Algeria in Nigeria on their way to Russia 2018 and they defeated Tunisia in 2019 third place match with this same set of players (only Moses and Mikel are the notable difference). You people need to stop using emotions to analyse or predict super eagles performance.

Super eagles can beat any team to qualify!!!

The super eagles would definitely qualify for Qatar. A lot of naysayers keep predicting doom for super eagles but it’s quite unnecessary.

On their way to wining AFCON 2013, the super eagles started poorly with two draws and only won Cape Verde with two penalties to get out of the group stage, I can remember vividly how so many people wrote them off against Ivory Coast and how they went on to win the trophy.

Super eagles have always had a generational “lack of concentration, concern and seriousness” problem especially against low ranked teams or in less important competitions.

A typical Super eagles would be more concerned and serious when playing friendlies against Brazil than they would be when playing against Liberia in a World Cup qualifier match.

I strongly believe super eagles would do well in AFCON 2021 and qualify for World Cup comfortably.
