okosodo: Keshi is not a good coach. Nigeria will not qualify for any thing

Define a good coach.

[quote author=Ejiné]I'm sorry, Honeric01, when you cite "getting paid for doing nothing", in the case of some of us Niger-Deltans, as being lazy, who exactly do you mean?
You mean the struggling agrarian (sic) families who've been swindled off their homes (and farm houses) all in the name of oil on their land, and now made to be dependent on peanuts (when, by right, they should be getting nothing less than 30% of the money), and forced to live and adapt new sources of income in a world they're not cut out for? If you don't want them to get their tributes (which are even insufficient for that matter), why not provide them with farmland to sustain themselves?

Coming to this goddamned site, I am disgusted with the silly ND comments made by soooo many posters here.[/quote]Awwww, your episode sounds tragic but i am not buying into that, have you checked the budget? do you know that the money budgeted to pay "ex-militants" for being unproductive is more than what was budgeted for the health sector for the whole country? go back to my post, FOR HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE PAYING THEM FREE MONEY? FOR HOW LONG? CAN'T THAT MONEY BE USED TO SET UP MANUFACTURING FACTORIES THAT CAN BE USED AS "MAN POWER EMPLOYMENT SINCE THEY HAVE RAW POWER TO DISPLAY, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ADDING VALUE TO THEIR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT?

NOW I ASK YOU, FOR HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE PAYING IDLE HANDS WHILE THOSE WHO WENT TO SCHOOL IN THAT SAME REGION ROAM ABOUT THE STREETS WITHOUT JOB?

usbcable: and i foresee barcelona dropping at least four points too.
so no lele.

to who? madrid?

dboy365: Totally agree with you.

lol you keep agreeing with everyone

Beaf: Lol! Its not everyday we meet the sort of person that is ready to sell themselves and their families, which is what you are, going by the many different identities you have claimed on a single page like a chameleon lacking dignity.

At the time you joined this conversation, some fools were arguing that ND people are lazy. Then you slithered in and supported them, so I can only assume that wherever you come from, your people are lazy, cos mine ain't. In fact, as I pointed out, my people own most of the banks and Nigerian media; we are small, but mighty. Banks happen to be the next biggest contributor to GDP after oil.

Stop giving Edo state a bad name, even if you are the lowest creature to exist. Edo state people have a proud and distinguished history and are not known to spit on the graves of their ancestors.

ND are lazy, take it or leave it, the truth is bitter! getting paid for doing nothing and yet you claim they aren't lazy? when i said ND are lazy, you already know the people i was and still referring to, so please spare me the useless "sympathy comment" about edo, pride, history, bla bla bla!

I think i need to stay out of Silver for now until it gets to 32.20, then i can comfortably enter short for 31.00

The Super Eagles could only muster a 0-0 draw against the Wasps on February 29, and Goal.com takes a look at what their coach must do to turn their fortunes around

Mar 15, 2012 1:00:00 PM

ANALYSIS
By Akinbode Oguntuyi
A brand new era started for Nigerian football two weeks ago in Kigali when the national team drew 0-0 in their first competitive game under Stephen Keshi, an away game against Rwanda in the first round of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

DON'T MISS

Match report: Rwanda 0-0 NigeriaStephen Keshi: Mikel is like my son
Much was expected from the new trainer following previous coach Samson Siasia's disastrous stint, which ended in ignominy when the Eagles stumbled to a 2-2 draw against Guinea in Abuja and crashed out of the 2012 Afcon.

As fate would have it, the fired trainer's spell at the helm started with a 1-0 loss against the very same opponent in Conakry. Keshi's first game in charge, despite ending in a dull stalemate, was better received than Siasia's effort for various reasons.

But the fact that the Kigali deadlock did not draw much criticism should not be seen as a major achievement for the newly appointed coach. Nigerian fans are fickle at best, while the country's football officials are not known for their patience towards coaches who fail in qualification phases.

When the Nigerian press comes into the picture, it becomes all the more important to learn the lessons from the 0-0 draw with Rwanda.

5. HAVE FAITH IN LOCAL PLAYERS

Keshi must never forget that his complete and absolute trust in local players is of utmost importance. The opportunity to work closely with footballers from the domestic league has yielded good results for Zambia and Egypt. Therefore, it is perhaps better to use players who know the continent.
The fact that Nigeria are a major exporter of football talent gives food for thought for every coach entrusted with the responsibility of leading the national team. The reality is that the abundance of talent does not equate to the abundance of commitment. The no-show of some of the foreign-based stars in the heat of Kigali and the excellent performance of the home-based footballers should be enough to make Keshi think.

He has worked with players from the domestic league and knows what they can do. In contrast Keshi has had limited opportunities to have a look at the foreign-based footballers, who arrived too late to be eased into the squad ahead of the match against Rwanda. His decision to give them precedence backfired spectacularly.

4. USE PLAYERS WHO HAVE MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT

While club form is a good way to measure the capability of any player, other factors must come into play when the footballers arrive for national team duty. One of them is their track record.
Peter Odemwingie is blowing hot in the Premier League, but any serious follower of Nigerian football will tell you that the last time he played well for the national team was in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

Ikechukwu Uche on the other hand, has covered himself in glory every time he has pulled on the green of the Super Eagles, and he is constantly overlooked whenever Odemwingie shows up. The Granada striker came off the bench and played well against Guinea in Siasia's last game in charge and his performance was in stark contrast to Odemwingie, who disappointed. One could not help but notice the deja vu in the 0-0 with Rwanda.

3. WALK THE TALK

Another lesson Keshi should take from the disappointing draw in Kigali is that he should back his words with actions.
He will not be the first Nigerian coach to talk up the home-based players and then relegate them into a supporting role when the chips are down. While Siasia only paid lip service to the idea of integrating domestic footballers, Keshi actually started work on the project, and seems keen on seeing it through.

Now that the process has begun, the coach must doggedly keep going until the seeds take root. What he needs to do is to depart from the knee-jerk, pressured reaction of previous coaches and stick to the team he trusts, not a media-favoured team, not a Nigeria Football Federation-favoured team, and certainly not the fans' team.

If the group he trusts is one made up of players based in the Nigeria Premier League, he must use them. Similarly, if the side he trusts is one consisting of only footballers from foreign countries, he must stick with them.

2. DISPEL THE 'UNTOUCHABLE PLAYERS' MYTH

A real team is made up of individual parts that constitute the whole. A good coach researches the opposition, and comes up with a game plan that takes into consideration the pieces that make the whole team click.
The fact that certain players are regulars at club level and are in sizzling hot form does not mean they must always start for the national team. First and foremost they must fit into the system the coach wants to employ for a particular game. The era of throwing in superstar names in the line-up just for the sake of having them in the XI must be brought to an end.

1. DO NOT ALIENATE PLAYERS IN THE MEDIA

There will be times when Keshi will need to reassess his tactics and ideology and he will need all sorts of players to help him in his search for the right approach.
It is important not to criticise players in the media as the coach risks alienating footballers who might prove useful in the long run.

A hallmark of a good trainer is not just the ability to manage a team as a unit, but also as a collection of individual egos. Siasia failed in this aspect and it cost him his job, and Stephen Keshi will do well not to fall into the same trap.

Ok, now clap for yourself.

class dismissed.

usbcable: angel demon of doom this prayer will be for barcelona Insha Allah

WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU HAVE 7 MORE POINTS TO DROP AT LEAST!

Beaf: Did you not make the following statement, or were you drunk at the time, sir?



Lolzzz!!! Your identity seems like toilet roll that you can use at will, different colours on different days. . . Same shiit.
Well, you might be as ambigious as a chameleon about the facts of your identity; I AM A NIGER DELTAN, while you are a hater from God knows where.

When fools make unfounded accusations about ND people, all to derail a thread; no true ND person would pop in to add their own lies. Its like a man spitting on his mother. So please all you Ahmed Yakassai's or whatever, stop claiming to be from the ND.
Thank God the trend has gone down now, during the elections the place was packed with all sorts winshes claiming to be from the ND, just to enhance their hateful methods.

Una no de shame?

Mr bigot the spongebob, i was using your "term" ND, if we go by your ND logic, then my state is also from the ND, but i don't believe in your shitty ND theory, so i am no ND, i am a Bini man from the Edo state in Nigeria.. gerrit?

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Why not just answer my question and inform me? Your allocation may be due to gas but insignificant amount of oil na.

---

TO KEEP NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE [/quote]Nah, you said we don't have oil, so i asked you, why then do we get allocation if we don't have oil? from not having oil to insignificant, please make up your mind man.

^^^^^

If we are not an oil producing state, why then do we get allocation from the FG?

novaman: I mentioned Stores is coming back as Stores Supporters Football Club, the steering committee is working seriously to get the club back in top flight, it not going to be funded by the government as it is going to be mainly with the support from members and sponsorship. The initial target for the club is to raise a formidable youth team and a massive fan base of over 100,000, so if you live in Lagos and wish to be part of this great club join us on facebook, the website is on the way, at least at the moment you do not have to pay to be a member, join us to create the largest fan base in Africa.

Already a fan.

you are losing your next match and then draw the one to follow, after that you lose again and then again to Barca lol.

Beaf: Dude, you are not an ND person just as much as ndu_chuks is counterfeit Igbo, alj haram is counterfeit Igbo (or Kanuri etc) and Jason123 is the only "Itsekiri" man to come from an Ijaw village!
Hatred and ethnic bigotry make people do things that make them look like vermin.

Be proud of who you are, bruv. Its obvious that no ND person thinks you are one. You can hate on us with your real identity, or are you ashamed of it?

LOL, i am not ND you're right, there's no state called ND in Nigeria lol, it's not a state lol, i am a Bini man from Edo state but a Nigerian, nothing like a niger deltan lol so you're right!

Now take bigotry away.. far away from sane people, you reek of bigotry!

[quote author=ndu_chucks]One would have thought by now that you'd have realized that if there is no oil in your area, those people do not consider you to be part of ND. For their purposes, alignment with SE regions with potential oil reserves is more important than accepting that you people are Niger Delta. You too, are sadly, considered to be parasites.

TO KEEP NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE [/quote]you mean no oil in edo state?

Bialegend: Fact is people from that area are famous in arrss licking their northern masters. honeric 01 is not doing anything different from what his people knows how to do best.

LOL, is that what you could come up with? lol lick whoose's asss? LOL, i give the truth RAW to whoever i would want it given to, from Lucky Igbinedion to Tunubu to adedibu to odili to jonathan to alam, obj, celicia ibru e.t.c. anyone who needs to be tongue-lashed, i give it to them no matter how "close" they are to where i "originated" from.

so next?

blink182: Are you Muslim? I'm sure even Muslims pay it even if its with a different name. As for buying a job, it may not be practised . . . Wait a minute. . . ℓ̊ think its done nation wide especially public service and big oil firms. Oil firms give out slots to community chairman who in turn may decide to give his youths that fit Τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ job profile or simply sell it. For civil service jobs, governors, commissioners and every parasite in government get quotas which they ç̣̲̣̣̣̲̣̣ạ̲̣̣̣̲̣̣̊ṇ̲̣̣̣̲̣̃ give freely ø® sell.
ℓ̊ met the pattern and ℓ̊ know it will out live ♏έ. Later ☺ƞ when ℓ̊ got free cash, ℓ̊ intend τ̅☺ use it as a means of philanthropy.

Now for those of you that see sense in ђã†̥ ℓ̊ said, don't go rushing off τ̅☺ give someone who knows someone who knows a public parasite чυя money-its a form of scam too. As a matter of fact, this ȋ̝̊̅ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇ strictly for educational purpose only.

I am a christian and i don't believe in it, so does that make me less-christian? Jesus didn't pay tithe nor did he talk or mention anything about tithe, i believe it's not compulsory to pay it since it's not a mandate from the founder of Christianity which is Christ Jesus.

As for your buying of jobs, it's the first time i'd be hearing of that.

Beaf: Funny shiit!
Even Tafawa Balewa and Akintola are from the ND these days.

You belong firmly in the association of phucking bigotted awuf luv'n losers and haters of the ND club.

Lol!

says the no 1 bigot of NL. Lol, u are hurt to know i dont believe in d ND shit u blab about lol. Stop rewarding laziness.

Johndoe100: @honeric01

Please never call yourself an ND person. You are just a typical yoruba agbero. You don' know how you degrade the ND by your statement.

too bad you cant change my NDness lol, deal with it. I repeat i cant support a lazy system known to reward unproductiveness while ignoring those willing to work.

Beaf: Tell them, abeg.

Most of the banks are owned by ND people, same for most of the press. By some strange coincidence, after the oil industry, banking is the next greatest contributor to GDP; therefore, in simple words, the ND does own the entire Nigerian economy, oil and non oil.

When it comes to nollywood, yet another great contributor to GDP, the headquarters is Asaba, again in the ND.

Of Nigeria's 10 richest men, 5 are from Delta state. Again, in the ND.

One has to ask the Ufeoloruns of this World just what they contribute to the nation outside noisemaking and stup!dity. It is natural for leeches to be jealous of those who are more productive; it is natural for bone-headed bullies to pick on the little guy with the big d.i.c.k that goes where they cannot go.

Does that voice sound familiar? It is the voice of a parasite who thinks life and death exist only in Abuja and is ready to distract govt and die for awuf oil money.
Most people need a hard look in the mirror.

Mr bigotry, am i from the north or yoruba too?? lol yeye lazy thing that feeds fat from the govt's purse. bara....

dadicvila: before na your own??make i hear word joh!just because God bless people with oil you start to envy and hate on them,go dig hole 4 your grandfather land na if you go see oil,lazy parasite

I am also from the ND, now shove that into your brain.. because i am from the ND does not mean i shouldn't frown at a system who pays criminals for doing nothing and also graduates roam about the streets without job. am i jealous to be pointing out the truth?

dadicvila: stop displaying your large scale ignorance in public,Niger delta people are well educated,you have thousands of illiterates in the west dosnt make you guys illiterates

Yet the amount set aside to pay these unproductive militants is more than that of the budget for health sector for the WHOLE OF THE COUNTRY? you should have a re-think again..

Let me ask you, would you pay someone who adds nothing to your life salaries when you can as well use the money to set up a company and have him work there, get paid from the proceeds and at the same time add value to the lives of those around that environment.


Now tell me, does what is going on in the ND shows that anyone out there is educated enough? I am also from the ND but i wouldn't short-change the truth.

sunnshyn: shut up der! What do u know? I'm sure ur relationship wit ur mother isn't so good as a result of the cancer u have in ur mouth....I cn relate to Mama stil doing my Laundry up until now, wenevr I vist, not because I cldnt do it or dat der wsnt a machine to do the washing, but out of LOVE! Pls, be careful wat u say ojare!

And when do you plan to do the laundry for your mom? even though my mom never gave birth to a female, her boys still wash her clothes.. and yes we are no longer kids, but we still wash her clothes.

Mama, you remain the best of all women, your boys are all proud of you, we are going to expand and make you happy for the remaining years of your life. as you have started carrying grand children, 10 and counting already, you are going to be alive to carry mine and that of your youngest son.. your boys are going to make you smile and shine as a mother.

Mama i love you, as your name remains Joy, may Joy not lack in your life and that of your boys (now men).

As your hubby's name who happens to be your boys dad remains happiness/Isaac/Joy/Laughter/Oghogho, may you continue to smile and laugh all the days of your life.

As you approach 70, may we all (your boys) be alive to celebrate that day with you.

We your boys love you forever and may you not depart from Christ Jesus for the rest of your life.

Amen.

Happy mother's day mamamia.

Beaf: It is this parasitic attitude of Nigerians that caused the President to refer to the Northern elite (who are no different from you) as mischievous witches and sorcerers who lack commonsense and decency. Up Presido! Very apt description.

Instead of people to get creative, all they can do is strategise for oil money, while their own backyards rot away. If there was no oil in Nigeria, the hoards of political babalawo's and baboons hovering over Abuja like demented evil spirits would have been technologists, inventors and entrepreneurs instead.

Shame on you, lazy phuck.

na our oily lazy bunch, feeding on govt money.. ole barawo.

Beaf: Which of them made their money on anybody's resources outside of the ND? Dude, a lot of you people are just wretches who let your hatred of the ND cloud your judgements.
Why would you hate the ND, if not your own failure?
You people cannot contribute to any thread concerning the ND without bigotry, yet the ND is made up of minorities. It takes a a very strong man to pile on minorities, isn't it. Shame.

On every thread, you have daft comment after daft comment from grown men. Its like a competition to crown idiocy.

The thread is about those who see no reason to exist if they do not hold power in Abuja, let us deal with that if your bigotry will allow. Afterall, Abuja is not in the ND.

LOL, keep ranting mr lazylazy oily na our own.

df2006: I find it cruel and wicked for someone to claim, d glory and progress of Lagos as that of the southwest alone, until 1991 Lagos was the capital of Nigeria, till now it is repleted by all manners of Nigerians.

now to ur assertion, do you not consider it laughable for one to make money in the five other southwest states, infact it is hilarious, and unimaginable to do so in the southwest apart from Lagos.

to buttress my point isn't it ridiculous that in the whole of the southwest , you will find a protea hotel only in Lagos, and not anywhere else.

talk about a place being economically viable, making empires for non natives, lol.
