No, I was actually using the pix for Nigerian underage teams as a whole not just this team.

And what makes you sure the players for the GT bank cup are actually the age they claim?

Because the tournament involved a professional body of sponsors who wouldn't invest into a fruitless tourney, they wouldn't support a machinery ridden competition, i think the reason why principal's cup didn't have a good sponsor before was because of this age issue, but now things have changed, you weren't there, didn't see any clip of the matches played, so i will ignore that question of yours.

Sagamite:
What makes you sure they are even presently registered in the school (I am assuming the cup is a school competition)? When I was in school, several times alumni's came back to play for school team so we just have bragging rights. Some other schools hired players not even associated with the school.

Most of the pako boys I used to see were like those in the pix when under 17. Very late development. The big ones were late education bloomers (i.e. 19/20 in SSS3) but in our national teams of big players, they actuall early education bloomers who finished secondary school at age 12 and yet look like a male Ox at 16.

Because this is not your "time"
Because one of the criteria of selecting the team is that a player from the school must have at least been in the school for 3 years
must currently be a student of the said school
must provide other relevant information (primary level) to ascertain his real age (range)
because Lagos has her own real u-13, 17 and 20s fully established by the state government and wouldn't want to indulge itself by sponsoring any tournament that does not represent it true reason of organization.

Sixty buses for Nigeria fans in SA
19/05/2010 07:13

Nigerian football fans will have their transportation worries in South Africa eased considerably with the provision of 60 buses by Premium Sports during the tournament.

Premium Sports Management are the managers of the Naija Fan Village in Durban and CEO Nkechi Obi says her organisation understands the need for easy movement during the World Cup.

"The buses, which will operate on a 24 hours basis have been programmed to take fans to and from such tourist destinations like the Durban International Airport, the Durban Beach Front, match venues, and many others," she said.

Obi added that the procurement of the buses would also help in reassuring Nigerians of their safety while in South Africa.

"The whole essence of the Naija Fan Village is to offer Nigerian fans a uniquely Nigerian atmosphere during the World Cup, as a way of ensuring a truly befitting appearance by Nigeria and the Super Eagles.”

The Naija Fan Village, located 15 minutes from the Durban airport and the stadium, has facilities that include standard accommodation made up of 3 500 beds, cafeteria, swimming pool, gymnasium, and a 5,000 capacity outdoor viewing centre with screens to cater for VIP, Fan Club members and general visitors.

Other facilities at the centre include a church, a mosque, a mini shopping complex, merchandise stands, exhibition stands, match ticket terminals, and several kitchens offering both continental and Nigerian dishes.

Obi says the centre is expected to cater for an estimated daily audience of 5 000 persons, a total of between 160 000 and 200 000 persons over the 32 days of the event.

"Naija Fan Village is designed to maximize the experience of the World Cup for both the average Nigerian and international football fan, and also serve as an opportunity to project a positive image of Nigeria to one of the most travelled persons in the world – the average football fan," she said.

uyhm, no comment,

From the story, I think the second wife is receiving treatment cos of the trauma just like their husband, not as if they were affected by the poison.

I read through and didn't see where they wrote that he's receiving treatment cos of the trauma, also ate from the food prepared that night, infact all of them ate the food according to the article.

oludashmi:
told reporters in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, that his family of 16 ate the food with ewedu soup on Sunday night.

oludashmi:
This is very pathetic. May God comfort the mother especially as she is yet to know she has lost five children. But how did it affect 5 out of the 16 who ate the food?

Waste of money.

agitator:
Answer

both ate from the food.

FBS:
You brought this up. Not me. You claim that the record shows that I hate Barca never minding the fact that I stated otherwise in my previous post. See below.

Now can you do me a favour and show me where (on NL) I said I hate Barca as a team and even the city?
(Barcelona is a fantastic city. Have you ever been to La Rambla? You will love it.)
If you cannot provide such, I demand that you apologise with immediate effect. 

PS: First it was your nose deceiving you, now your memory just failed you.  

nah, from outside nl not inside nl, maybe you'd remember now. (when we played against Chelsea remember?)

not again

Uhm, there are alot of ifs in this issue, the plates, pot used in cooking, some of the ingredients used for the soup, the cassava e.t.c

anyways RIP, may God give them the strenght to bear the losses.

And under what party are you running?

swit d

But there are some who were involuntarily turned into addicts, those who are into pimping job get their girls addicted to drugs just to control their minds, what about that?

Deep Soul:
Atleast the lives of innocent people are now being spared.

And the lives of other innocent ones are being put under the drug addiction bondage, both are still bad and should be discouraged.

uhmm, not married


only if i could see her eyes

zuzuki:
LAY MAN'S ,    OKAY??

Thank you, thank you, but why are you yelling? you got anger problem? and how are you sure English language is my first language?

Thanks bro for the update, i wish i could lay my hands on the rest.

Dr Kitaun:
FBS

u dey mind all those gloryhunting Barca boys ? How anybody can argue they are better than Benfica or Marseille this season beats me!

old cargo, please you need to go clean that your empty trophy cabinet for emirate, you hia? , dust don full the thing die. , and don't forget to remove the cobwebs too

FBS:
So you had no proof? In fact I demand an apology.  This is false accusation.
That Barca does not tickle my fancy  does not mean I hate them. For the record, I DON'T.

yes, you told me you don't like Barcelona and even the city as a whole (my memory never fails me), so what does that mean in a lame man's language? it means you hate Barca, we have argued this before, so bro don't bring it up again

Sagamite:
Now this is how average Nigerian 16 year olds look like:

http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/crime-a-security/5168-inter-class-competition-claims-students-life-in-ogun

Yet some morons might come here and be arguing the obvious that Stanley Okoro is lying.

Note: Average will be representative of the poor (which most of our footballers are) not the few upper middle class or rich that might develop faster.

You shouldn't use the case of Stanley Okoro/Chukwudi as a yardstick to discrediting the whole team, i know for sure that we had few U20s in that particular team (the goalkeeper, Emmanuel and few others) and as for the pix you posted, that fact is wrong because i have seen alot of pako boys (young boys) looking so big and healthy, you just have to go through the secondary schools around to see them, i was able to watch clips of the GT bank cup and i saw real U17 looking so big playing football like prof, you'd know that these boys are young with the way they cry just because they lost goal scoring chances.

Shaunscot:
Same story.

Same thing was said before the beginning of the season that just ended.

Visited Teslim Balogun stadium on the supposedly start date and nobody knew if anything was happening, or when.

which one are u talking about?

no

Well, let's give him the benefit of doubt, who knows, we might end up winning that match.

a man with a good ass, sucks
