And what position did Nigeria occupy during the last AFCON? . Didn't we beat the host during the group stage?

And lost to them at the most crucial part of the tourney after they changed their coach.

The bottomline is that they won' t be a walkover. They are far better and achieved more than Gabon and Benin.

Reference:
Totally agree.
This is a country with a rock solid football tradition.
Their local league and club sides are streaks ahead of Cameroun's and Nigeria's and if you watched them against Cameroun they played without an iota of fear and without respect to the names in the Lions squad. Plenty of pace and good ball control. They will be a tough nut to crack.

Then they have the psychological edge of being the underdogs. The fans will be on their side because of that and they have the x-factor of a french foreign coach. These coaches just love to craft tactical battles against us.

We need to play the best soccer we have not seen the Eagles play for a long, long time to go through. Congo's only weakness I see is finishing. But that is our principal weakness.... goalkeeping.

You have summed it up well. We are playing a well drilled and disciplined footballing country across board.

As for Nwabali, he always increases my blood pressure with is every move at the back, and his backups are not any better.

Still not so carried away by our last two outings. Just banking on good luck, quality and experience of our boys to give us this day.

So FIFA added 16 extra slots and didn't give Europe any, now I understand Gatusso's frustrations. Anyways, you snooze you lose! Good luck to them at the playoffs

But they only have 44 against our own 54 countries. Well, the only valid arguement against our 10 slots is the quality of football on both continents.

Irohjohnpaulc:
That's lovely, I believe that today's game will be a walkover for the super eagles team

I beg to differ. A walk over against a semi-finalist at the last AFCON? And they were only pipped by the host country and eventual winners, Ivory Coast.

They will be a hard nut to crack.

Is it CAF that clears or FIFA? I hope these people aren't trying to set us a trap o.

Well, it can be weird. Lol

I recall how my GP refered me to a pratice that had a female urologist during one of my general medical checkups. She ensured a male nurse was present to witness the entire procedure. The most embarrassing 5 mins of my life...two grown adults, same age group as mine, touching and looking down there, and asking questions. 🫣😅

I think people have mentioned the way to go.

1.Insist the presence of a female nurse during visits, it is your right.

2. Encourage more young ladies to study Obstetrics and Gynaecology. For women, both fields are very lucrative and not yet saturated in Nigeria.

Udo’s sister, Miss Affiong Sampson, described the incident as a brutal act of violence, saying, “They shot him with bullets as if he was an animal. His body is still in the mortuary, the entire family had remained in grief since he was killed.”

He who kills by the sword will be felled the same way. Remember, those whose friends and family you participated in their demise won't forgive, neither will they forget. They patiently wait for the right time to strike back, home or abroad...often when you have moved on, turned a new leave, lowered your guard, and no longer around your guys for protection. And when they come for you, your family is fair game in the crossfire. Think well before you join violent gangs for any reason, don't allow peer pressure destroy your future.

If care is not taken, Nwabali's shenanigans will cost this team darely one day.

Interesting.

I guess he wants a brighter future for his people. But we all know how this ends. When the country starts making decent progress, one of these big countries will still figure out ways to destabilise the country.

Dohn:
My point is, if city dont win it, someone else will. Bt definitely nt arteta

You wanna bet?

Dohn:
Even if arsenal maintains dis 4 point lead till april, dem nogo carry league...knw dis and knw peace..
Sunderland even has better chance to arsenal

How do u expect arteta to win the league where his master and tutor pep is still active... Apprentice neva learn work finish e run go open shop. U tink say na everything wher pep show am??
Arsenal has a chance of winning epl when pep leaves England.
Not before,

But the same Pep no win am last season nah? He came a distant 3rd. Anyways, 🤞🏼

Clear truth.
Man City have the ingredients to run the race till the end of the season. They've got quality players and coach. If they can get their things right, they are very likely to come out the winners, come May.

Whether the 'Never Walk Alone People' like it or not, they can't win the league this season (deducing from statistics). The race is now really between Arsenal and Man city.

What's best for Arsenal is to fight harder and win their matches. They can't afford to drop more points at this stage. Infact, it's better they begin another winning streak so they can secure their position very well.

Man City will definitely drop points but no other club is really comfortable having Man city trailing them. They've always got enough quality to fight till the end.

Exactly!

The thing for Arsenal now is that most, if not all of their forwards will be back after the internationals. Provided they all come back in one piece from their various countries. And hope they all come good between now and January.

Personally, I think if Arsenal can maintain at least a 6-9 points lead by early Febraury, they have a big chance of getting over the wire.

Time will tell. 🤞🏼

Overall, Man City are not having a poor season. They are still a team to fear this season unlike Liverpool. Man City behind Arsenal by 7 points wouldn't spell the end for them. They would still be in the race, if not firmly. The whole world knows Arsenal can't be vouched for, at this point of the season.


As it is now with just 4 points behind Arsenal, Man City are strong contenders. Arsenal should be very mindful. They can't afford to slack again.

Exactly what I was driving at. People were(are) so focused on Liverpool that they forget the stuff Man City and Guardiola are made of.

Getbetter:
It's the end of the road for Liverpool if they lose this match. They can't grab the premier League trophy from Arsenal this season if they're behind by 8 points.

And Man City?

Goal Bol!

Sonofgod1990:
Lamentation begins
All dis arsenal supporters una never stops to amaze me
Aswear I am

Where is the lamantation? Just tactics. We are the Arsenal after all.

Attacking wise, Arsenal's bench is as dry as a desert. The best Arsenal can come away with in this match playing like this is a draw. We are missing an Odegaard around that 18. Maybe Nwaneri might be the key. MLK for Calafiori? It seems there is no way through the wings, we need players that can drive the team forward through the midfield. Xhaka is on a yellow too.

They call him TACOS for a reason.

If it's an embedded YouTube video, forget it.

Just like YouTube videos are uploaded on Nairaland, there's nothing you can do about it.

The only thing you can do is to restrict embedding on the video via YouTube.

I think in this case, the video directs visitors to your page most of the time. No?

press9jatv:
lies and propaganda here. You aren't even in America. Na lies filled your mouth here.

Which part is a lie nah Oga? I am in tune with American politics. I balance my views by following closely Left and Right media contents. So where exactly did I lie...and with proof please. Oga wey dey America.

press9jatv:
😂 you don't know Texas here. Besides tell me how many states Democrats won in last year November presidential election in US? You don't know America election here.

A lot of States and districts turned red last year, but most are retracing their steps due to Trump and alies' shenanigans. If the Republicans are so sure of Texas, why are they suddenly redistricting outside the normal circle for it? Democrats are getting stronger in Texas.

It is obvious that this election was a verdict on Trump. Virginia just flipped back to the Democrats. Even The VP's brother's *ss was whooped.

If a Gen Election were to hold today across America, the Republicans will bleed pretty bad.

press9jatv:
New York city is primarily a democrat State. Why can't democrat party won in Texas and Ohio States

If elections were to hold in Texas today, the Republicans will sweat.

Can't wait for his Truth Social cry. A king wannabe is being shown a flash of what to expect in next year's mid-term elections.

Kenyans are known fishes, they can drain a brewery. 😅

surgical:
which resources oga keep quite if you don't know what you are saying, the us made it categorically clear that they are after the bad boys, the terrorists why are you angry and unhappy about it ,are you a terrorist

"They said they are after only terrorists"...And you believe them. Very funny, how naive. I asked you a question, give the name of a country they have intervened in and they didn't leave worse than they met.

The same way they attacked Iraq, with the impression they are only there for the country's nuclear weapons. Decades after, it still hasn't been proved that Iraq ever had any nuke. They just destroyed the country for nothing, now more than before, is a breeding ground for various terrorist cells.

The only problem with the promotion of things like this is that, when it starts, it affects us all. My view on this topic is based on the US's history on related issues. I am a student of International relations and history.

Like i always say, be careful what you wish for.

Ofunaofu:
Are you implying that the Tinubu government shouldn’t take action against terrorists and bandits committing heinous crimes?

Do you mean Tinubu should continue to allow the killings, maimings, kidnappings, the overrunning of villages, and the razing of towns by these terrorists all because, according to you, Trump is after “your resources”?

If you read through my comments you will see where I mentioned that the govt needs to rise up to its responsibility and that we should look inward for solutions to our problems.

We can't be relying on countries who sponsor unrest in countries like ours, and then later show up to help us quell the fire they tactically started.

Again, Americans, through their military interventions, has never left a country better than they met it. They always, through history, leave it worse than they met it; regrets and ruins in their wake.

And the US isn't.

Imagine a convicted felon leading the US. A child m*lester too.

Just know that Trump doesn't care about what happens to you and I, he's after your resources. The US doesn't sow where they can't reap

Chi111:
the bottom line here is, an average Nigeria man is suffering either from skyrocketing of foods or insecurity and our leader kept mute. Anyway not really the kind of Nigeria we were told of while growing ooo. A sincere blessed country but nothing to show up

I share your concerns about the situation of this, but trust me, whatever we are currently passing through is better than a US military intervention.

We need to look for results from within.

Mrchippychappy:
During that short time, there has been over 10,000 deaths in Nigeria alone

That's how you guys go about spreading rumours. How did you come up with this stats?

What I am saying is that he should remove the logs in his eyes before attempting to remove from others.

AqualinaXYZ:
I dey come



Make I rush forward am to Trump

Why are you guys treating this Trump as a mini God sef?

Someone whose country is drowning in gun related violence and he's been turning a blind eye.

Since he became President, there has been a total of 366 deaths and 1,66 wounded in 373 shootings, as of October 31, 2025.


While the Nigerian govt needs to rise up to its responsibility to protect its people, nothing good comes out of US's military intervention. Show me one place they have come good?
