Hi dear, mine has been a love of suffering and winning....I will soon update my entire love story but I urgently need a cute but appropriate name for my newborn son, HURRAY...I dated my Spiritual Father's daughter and the "fortunate" happened. I so much live this girl that though am 8 years older than her, I always obey and respect her because of her matured advice and encouragement throughout our tough times. Unfortunately, the girl was still in school and it was real hell for all of us. As at now, am not permited to see or talk to the girl as she has been moved to a distant town and her phones were ceased by the stepmum. The only thing I do is to send feeding and hospital fees for this nine months of which I did timely. Luckly, the girl memorised my numbers and has been hiding to call me every often to update me on her health. She called yesterday and gave me the good news and her stepmum also called to confirmed it. Now I need honourable members to help me with a name and its meaning suitable with the suffering I and the girl went through. Nb: Am a Christian (only if am qualified to be called so) and need a name praising God for seeing us through sufferings Please help a friend. |
Where FIFA got it wrong in Brazil By Cletus D Kuunifaa The World Cup has come to an end with Germany grinding it out to a lone goal victory in extra time, courtesy Mario Gotze’s 113th minute goal. While Brazil has been praised for a successful organization of the event, Sepp Blatter and his coterie have a long to-do-list to check to deal with to improve the game. Not only is there disappointment about FIFA’s ranking system which I find to be rubbish and wrote about it ( See Sports Features of Wednesday, 2 July 2014), but I am equally appalled about the distribution of the officiating officials at the just ended World Cup in Brazil. As readers might be aware, when the world football governing body, unveiled the list of 25 trios and eight support duos, making up a total of 91 officials, that would oversee games this summer, conspicuous absence was officiating officials from Ghana and Nigeria. Africa was represented by officials from La Cote D’Ivoire, Burundi, The Gambia, Cameroon, Rwanda, Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, Senegal and Kenya. The two soccer power houses in Africa were absent. (http:// www.fifa.com/worldcup/organisation/referees/index.html). FIFA explained that, “the referees selected for the World Cup in Brazil have been chosen based especially on their personality and their quality in football understanding by being able to read the game and the teams’ tactical approaches towards each game.” What a load of absolute nonsense! Understanding the game? And yet we saw biased officiating from a host of these officiating officials. The Mexican team coach will blame their exit on poor calls from the officiating officials, while the Brazilian team has been protected in most of their games until they met their nemesis in the hands of the Germans in the semi-final match. Nigerian coach, Stephen Keshi, would lash out at the referee after his side lost 2-0 to France in the World Cup last 16 in Brasilia the other day. Keshi said, “The referee is a human being and is bound to make mistakes, but a lot of mistakes are questionable,” “I’m not happy with the officiating.” He opined. (http://article.wn.com/ view/2014/06/30/ Nigeria_coach_Stephen_Keshi_hits_out_at_referee_after_France_8/) FIFA is supposedly wary of fair play as well as campaign against racism, but painfully lacks the little things that need to be done to propel it as the fair and unbiased international institution that it claimed to be. The purpose of this piece is to further push and pin FIFA against the wall for the glaring oversight to observe a minute silence and or construct whatever form of recognition via print, audio or video, which would have attracted international attention for the over 200 Nigerian girls abducted (including the casualties) by Boko Haram, a terrorist group. What a perfect unbiased idea it would have been for a minute silence to be observed for the unfortunate incident that happened in Nigeria in one of their matches! Yet, that did not happen because FIFA did not find it expedient and compelling to do so. Malala Yousafzai is even better than FIFA. The little Pakistani rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, met Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan to press for more action to free the more than 200 girls held by militant Islamists. Malala met relatives of the girls, expressing solidarity with them at a meeting in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, on Sunday. She said, "I can feel... the circumstances under which you are suffering," "It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger. My birthday wish this year is... bring back our girls now and alive." http:// www.myjoyonline.com/world/2014/July-14th/malala- meets-goodluck-jonathan-over-chibok-girls.php This was a simple gesture from a little girl in her bid to draw attention to the fate of the girls in limbo to be compared with how FIFA would have drawn a bigger, bigger attention to the plight of these abducted girls. Instead, FIFA found time at the slightest notice to slot in time to observe a minute silence for one Argentine Alfredo Di Stefano who passed. FIFA decided together with the Argentina Football Association and Real Madrid, that the global football community will pay tribute to one Alfredo Di Stefano at the FIFA World Cup semi-final match between the national teams of the Netherlands and Argentina. Truly, a moment of silence was held ahead of the match in memory of Di Stefano and a picture of him shown on the stadium’s giant screen. Furthermore, Argentina’s national team wore black armbands. (http:// fansided.com/2014/07/09/world-cup-semifinal-will-honor- alfredo-di-stefano-moment-silence/#!be24CV) I do not care about the exploit of an 88 year old who passed. I do rather care about the future of these young girls abducted in Nigeria and a minute silence for the casualties and some verbalized statement would have been a huge accomplishment from FIFA in their fight against racism and bias. Had FIFA offered a minute silence for these young girls (the casualties), it would have been considered one of the greatest moments in soccer history. It would have been a simple and elegant show of respect and fairness, much as it would have drawn international attention to the plight of these girls. When these innocent girls, yet to achieve their potential are deprived of their fundamental human rights, I trust the World Cup would have been a legitimate venue to denounce such acts. Unfortunately, FIFA could not pass this test to instruct a minute silence to show respect to Nigeria in particular and to Africa in general. What a shame especially that Nigeria and Argentina were in the same group. This goes a long way to explain how FIFA is a sham and we must protest against this ill-treatment meted out to African teams. Instead of our football authorities to be concerned about the lapse of judgment on the part of FIFA and argue for better treatment for Africa teams, we see them present themselves as stooges and tongued tied on pertinent and thorny issues regarding Africa teams.

Mization: Mali is a no go area for Nigerians 4-1 reason but Burkinafaso wud be 4-2 reasons. Naija will win dis time without extra time..Quote me.wake up from your dream |
[quote author=onitshaigbo]You know, Nigeria was the most welcoming and friendly of African countries. We supported everyone else in their independence (like the ANC of South Africa). But now, every country in Africa looks down at us and not give us respect. Worse yet, they are delighted when they hear of our failures. Is that how you repay a benefactor? I dont know either u study elementary history or @ least Social Studies in ur elementary sch. ur country nigeria shd be grateful to Kwame Nkrumah |
brixton: U knw say Burkina Faso no be problem #sorkodiek, bross. wat is written is written |
[quote author=chreld_b]So tell me in what way you are better than him by virtue of your utterances? Bring out the log in your eye and stop being a hypocrite![/quote]dont u know how to use proverbs? I never wish any evil for nigeria, just pointing out wat is going on in ur country. y didnt he rather remove d log from his eye (pray to God to stop bh) before cursing n attempting to remove d speck from Gh eye? namugana |
onitshaigbo: I'm tired of those Ghanaians who always think they're better than us, even though we are the Giant of Africa. Countries like Ghana prevent Africa from being more united. Nkrumah was a greater leader but they exiled him, may God destroy Ghana.sometimes it wonders me y some of u just spew rubbish anyhow. u want God to destroy Ghana? may He (God) repay ur evil intention with d worst form of evil. when u seek ur neighbour's downfall, it shall come back to u. I dont know datz y God is already punishing ur dir.ty nigeria, bh will continue to destroy u n ur families. nansense. Have u ever seen or heared of any tribal war (or war of any kind) in Ghana dat is devastating like urs? Nope! y? cos God has already bless Ghana n any curse from ur gullied mouth will be a blessings for Mother Ghana. Ghana is a Peaceful Country, and Peaceful It Must Remain! |

Prophesy one accomplished. Cape Verde and South Africa out. Where are d Nigerians in d house? abi they are sleeping, hahahahaaaa. Nigeria Must Go. Eiii, Togo might pull a surprise |
Ghana vs Cape Verde: It's so unfortunate for the debutants to meet the Stars of African Football. Anyway, Cape Verde deserve a hand of applause as they make it to the quarter finals, but Ghana is going to squeeze them well. Ghana I hail thee. Mali vs South Africa The host nation has been a disappointment to African football. Or is this AFCON about West Africa? I see Mali advancing to the semi finals. Bourkina Faso vs Togo An obvious headache to pick a favourite. I love Togo but hey, it's not about emotions! Burkina Faso will win. Nigeria vs Ivory Coast Did I hear someone asking the Senate to pray for the Super Eagles? Hahahaaaa, abi the Ivorians no dey worship the same God? I wish Jonathan will rather increase their allowance to boost their morale. Ivory Coast is going to thrash them well well. Mark it on the wall. |
[quote author=Cusubaba]Senseless Gaynaian sorry Ghanaian ape. Ghana ugly juju charcoal stars will never win Cape Verde. As usual Ghana should bring their juju from Ewe tribe called Trokosi Voodoo they will never beat Cape Verde. U pig ur name Torgbe means king in Ewe tribe language, don't u pig know that u Ewes are Togolese. Pig go back to Togo, u Ewes are slaves in the hands of Ashanti tribe in Ghana. I.D.I.O.T, which player from Ghana will Nigeria borrow? It's that ugly bleeching face called Asamoah Gya another senseless comment from a visionless nation. go back to primary and study hisory well, stupid monkey |
