Your childishness must always show.

So exposing hypocrisy is now me kicking against another person?

If I start with you again, they will say I am this and that.

Small boy you are.

Childish
But you were the one crying all over the thread that day..... citing us not being democratic and using the Nigeria scenario to paint us undemocratic and all....

Even when I took time explain to you and many others...that they initially thought icons4 and Andrew had automatical admission into the selection committee...

Your words drew up my other two friends...prof & egbon to join the trade even the latter took it up like a personal project to kick against his inclusion....

I just want you to understand...that even though what you initially said was right...but you see to get the best from laws and the whole system...the rules has to be flexible.... we can't always be right always....

I have no ill feelings just want you and others to see that and understand the reason why we wanted his inclusion....

Hope you've voted?

forgiveness:
I can see your mentality has been polluted and thereby become rotten going the bolded. It needs redemption.

Are you even practicing true democracy in Nigeria in the first place? Nonsense talk.

Besides, who told you another person wouldn't have done better? You wanted Icons4, Icons4 you have. Keep mute.

so the buhari you guys elected in 2015 was not democracy...tell me what it is

because I know GEJ unlike now...there was at least over 50% chAnces of free and fair election.... many ignorant folks misused to elect the man in aso rock....


and for ICON4s inclusion and another person doing the job better if he was not there....
is that the reason you'll have failed to do the job instead...
why didn't you step in to do the job egbon

probably seeing icon there made you to become complacent.
you need to change...ooo it is not every time and every thing that you should be controversial about....

Criticaltemp:
They will rush down here to say trash as usual. The earlier u guys understand that malian is a movement, malians a religion, malian is a course the better.. Ur daddy go will brainwash u, get all ur hard earn incomes, trample on u like zombie with useless lives yet u will come online to beef marley, sorry, u will die soon.

how old are you bro

at your age you're still doing Marlians when your mates are busy with their lives doing something productive

Icon4s:
VOTING CLOSE OFFICIALLY AT 6PM (NIG TIME) TODAY.

COLLATING OF VOTES TO FOLLOW SOON

and to think....
that some folks here;

somehow
forgiveness
and Prof. Komekn

kicked against the inclusion of Icons4 in the selection committe speaks volume...

I have not seen any of the later names post this voting template or Komekn even made his votes (if he has voted) since that committe was inaugurated...

but this guys were kicking against the inclusion of someone ready to do the job....
it baflles me that some peeps won't work, still will not want others to work....

this should be an eye opening for some of us voting carelessly in this forum...this is the paramount reason why DemocrAcy has not helped Nigeria at all.....

because Nigerians are faced with the dangers of democracy, which is; it may enthrone mediocrity at the expense of competency if the majority are not enlightened or educated....


Thanks Oga ICON4s it shows you are a diligent man.... I won't be surprised if you're a project manager....because you've proved it...

and for those who were chanting Democracy hope they can now attest to the chants they made....

no issues though...just want them to see the reason why I took it upon myself to see you and Andrew inclusion in that committe.

komekn:
To put it bluntly Maddison would not be so plainly stupid to do what KC has done.

And even with that's an assumption based on bias. Not surprisingly anywhere KC is mentioned we always have a double standard and naked bias for him..

I have watched the clip of what KC did it's simply dishonourable and entirely reprehensible there is absolutely no excuse.

Rogers did the right thing and now KC has covered himself in disrepute.

Many may not understand the conventions of football and what he did is just not done. He was supposed to throw the ball back to Norwich. The played the ball out because players were injured. And then at the restart He tried to take advantage unfairly. ITS REALLY REALLY NOT GOOD. There is no way to cover it up.

He needs to find away to apologise.

I have said severally...I wonder why some peeps here take you serious....

You're not a super eagles fan....
You're a fan of 3Lions

You're obviously here for business sake...trying to pass across those players who are deemed not good enough for the 3Lions down our throat.....

You are trying to help them get super eagles call ups so as to boast their careers.....

Komekn... I just dey look u

gustav25:
Is Iheanacho still in Form ? Yeye fans

What nancho has achieved in this life...none of your family members you inclusive put together will ever get to that level....

You should be ashamed of yourself coming here every time to make gist of a young man making millions of dollars from kicking the round leather ball in the UK.... he does not even know if you exist.... but you know him likewise the press in the UK... in the UK he is more popular than the president of your country.....

CASTAGNE:

edi287:
It is mostly Igbos that call Yoruba "slaves of Hausa/Fulani" despite being ruled over by the same Hausa/Fulani. How many times do you hear Yoruba folks call us slaves? Go through NL for one and see if what I'm saying is a lie.
Good you mentioned 4 Northern states which are good based on naija standards but if you listen to what some folks say, you'd think the whole North region is thrash despite some folks living in the said area.
At the end of the day - 95 percent of this country is beyond bleeped up...the east is better off than the north but it's still nothing to write home about... There's nothing to brag about not having constant power, good roads, etc. All this tribal wars is juvenile when compared to the bigger picture - our dear country is nothing to write home about.
I'm not saying don't be proud of your tribe(I'll always be proud Igbo man) but let's be more reasonable.

How ever we want to look at it - "illiterate and unambitious North" is ruling this country. What does that say about the rest of us?

the problem with your write ups is your linear approach of thinking....

I said it earlier the quest for political power is not always or cannot always be equalled to been ambitious.

take political power away from them...you'll see they have lost all relevance...

the fight for political power is accentuated by greed and the fear of other ethnic domination by the northern elites....not necessary driven by the quest to develop their people.....

the leaders are not ambitious for their people and the people are not ambitious for themselves..


example of leaders that have showed ambitious for their people...Is late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and even GEJ tried build amajiri schools for them and then what becomes of it as at today

the leaders encourage them to birth children in large numbers all because for the numerical advantage it serves them during elections...and they can't even feed them or cloth them.....
do you know recently Rev. Kukah aimed to feed and take up the responsibility of over 10m amajiri kids but the northern elites strongly resisted it...

does that show being ambitious for your people

to be honest....if Buhari was a southerner I can stick my nose to the ground...he would have had at least an MSc by now...
with the opportunity he had and ever since he left power in 1985...any ambitious person would have see reason to develop himself......

please know that the quest for political power does not invariable means you're being ambitious.... it is what you do with the attained power that shows how ambitious are you......

Danielnino00:
If he doesn't win the league or UCL this season, he will leave...

He will then head to another money spining club like PSG or Juventus .
Or maybe head back to Barca...

I tell you...dude is a good coach that needs a big club to excel and bully other teams...

AndSunGorilla:
Let''s drop this topic abeg. It's a divisive topic. Soccer please, even if na cosafa cup.

Okay sir...dropped.
But will reply a mention ooo

Blueelf:
I don't need to think deep and I don't intend to call you a tribalist. Atop having unnecessary preconceived notions please unless you think you're a tribalist within your heart?

I repeat, don't just assume from a small sample size.

I am not assuming from a small sample size...

if you look through the spree of human capital development in the country you'll find out inspite of the Hausa fulanis preoccupation with political power for the past decades little can be said of the development of their people....

the quest for political power does not automatically means being ambitious
it can as well.stem from greed and the fear of being trampled upon by other minority groups..

looking over it will reveal to you...that illiteracy and poverty still flows in the north and even during time of GEJ it was revealed that some of the boko haram activities were being accentuated by the elites just to dose him out of power..... that wasn't being ambitious for your people...

inspite of this... what has the needed quest for power brought about in the social and economic development of the people....

an ambitious folks will not birth Nigeria all over and the leaders drastcally support it being that it gives numerical strength during elections......
in the south an illetrate who can't read and write will still try to make needs to attend adult school....

I am not saying the southerners are better off though...but if looked into you'll see that the northerners in times of the drive for human, economic and social capital development are really lagging behind and the elites who occupy the seats of power have done little in this regard

Blueelf:
I saw it. That's a big, fat, Obese and Diabetic lie

vast majority of them are not....

being ambitious sometimes correlate with your level of education as it expose you to the outside world and makes you enlightened.

It broaden your horizon and help you draw up plans beyond your stretch....

you can't compare the ambitious mind we down in the southern Nigeria to the north.

their leaders are not even ambitious for them....unlike in the south west were free and affordable education is the watch word. ..

please think deep prior you call be a tribalist

AndSunGorilla:
Did you watch the game? No tell us say na report u read o.

You must be a very funny dude...
Do you really need to watch a match prior you know a real carpenter....or a brick layer even a renowed painter you'll know from afar....

Dude is one of the most hardworking carpenter we have around...I won't call him the most hardworking sha because Modric Rakitic Kross Azubuike claims that for now.

If we should apply Komekn principle....ZUBBY is a lion in a small league... dude gonna displace ndidi soon....

Toylove:
Talking about here and now , he his a lion in a small league

that's prof. Komekn Theory 1 & 2.

Please always credit him please....or else you can be sued for plagiarism.

TheSuperNerd:
Rohr?? No naa.... I was even thinking the NFF. Josh Zirkzee is 18 and would be eligible for the next U-20 team in 2021. He can start off from there.

He has already played for the Dutch cadet teams.... don't think It will be possible for him to play for the under 20 again.....

He is bayern Munich under 19 highest goal scorer I think in the UEFA youth league....

His exploits for the under 19 team accelerated his promotion to the main team for this match

tbaba1234:
I have known about him for a while. He identifies with his Nigerian roots but he has played for the dutch youth teams.

If we want to get him, it must be before he becomes a star.

I have always mentioned him here....
Rohr will have to act fast...getting him will be a coup because the Dutch won't like let him slip between their fingers....

the guy is lethal in front of goal.......

Can ROHR get this lad for us

komekn:
It's too early to say the Championship is a hard grueling marathon not a sprint.

I have seen teams at the top in January by April / May they were out if the players offs. Examples are Leeds and Derby County.

Nonetheless, of all the teams the best equipped in my opinion for this long haul is WBA. They have strength indepth and the best squad with quality players with EPL pedigree.

But in football anything can happen.

Hello Komekn...please I am sorry to distract you... kindly help us work on this theory or better still Chriskels can help out... I believe it will aid our football analysis and holistic approach to football discussion and write ups...

1) Komekn Theory 1 - Lion in small league theory

2) Komekn Theory 2 - Here and Now theory

What do you think prof.

Danielnino00:
"Lion in a small league" is probably the biggest lie ever told on this thread !

A deceitful phrase created only to be used to the advantage of certain players..

The second biggest lie is "Football is about here and now"

Lol...abeg you funny.

This two phrase are the legendary.....

ChrisKels:
Earthquake is a tribalist for always berating Gabby Jesus

Lol.... Chriskels you're wicket

andrewbaba44:
Stop covering up for your self ,because you insulted the north indirectly ,but if Na forgiveness you go attack am

Pot dey call kettle black ,lol

Your moniker no even fit you self

Bro it’s fine I have no issues with anyone

All good bro

Hope you are having a blessed day

Cheers

It is very clear you never understood my posts on the northerners & southerners the other time; the non-uniform spree of development and education.

Even when the other learned guy...really can't spell his name try to correct you...that him being a northerner also...that I simply stated the truth....

I will say those posts were not meant for you.... komekn also jumped to comment without going through the original posts...

I even stated their areas of strengths and what stands for them as a plus...I talked on the colonial educational policy and how it currently impacted on the current eductional level both south and northern regions....

If I don't tell you...would you have know my tribe?

Will advise you look for a more better word to call someone Rather than quickly resort to the call of TRIBALIST which you're abusing the word........


Well...my day went well...though quite stressed.
Thanks and do have a good night rest

charlesemeka85:
the same tribalist berates the likes of azubuike,nwakali,onuachu and others who are not just from the same region with him but the same tribe and state. jango or what ever your moniker is becareful!

That guy is a new....
He just came in and have start to call out triablists...

Just praying he is not what he accused you..because I am already seeing him mentioning
SOLANKE as one player we hate most.... it goes to show he has little knowledge of the happenings here and why the droll

jargooflife912:
Charles is the most tribalist on this thread I know what I'm saying

I said Semi Ajayi is Nigeria best defender this was his reply

It's like you recently joined this thread...

I will advise you take time to observe things for yourself before you pick foes and see who is really a tribalist, biased and prejudiced.....

So because some one gave you such a witty reply....you quickly deduced he is a tribalist....

edi287:
Chief, I never see am talk anything that's tribalist. Maybe I'm missing something.

A tribalist may mean different things to him....
Me too I have never seen him drive into that racour of tribalism...

Even Omabala and Chriskels.... they call out non ibo performing players too...

andrewbaba44:
I did not accuse charles of being tribalist because of zuby, i called him a tribalist because of his past, you can defend him as others , as for me i am not surprised by you all

I know you saw where he attacked me first and you ignored, so why are you quoting me because you saw me call him a tribalist? if where he attacked me is not your business then me calling him a tribalist should never be your business sir

I was having a decent argument with super nerd, you can go back and even check it , i told super nerd that (But ekong don chop goals this season sha oo) before i know the so called charles came from no where insulting me saying i am bringing a player down, lol

I can hit my chest that i am the least person that will bring down a player, ekong that i was saying if he continues the way he is playing he will end up at napoli or roma which are better clubs than udinese

But we all know if there is any one good in bringing down a player its charles who always insult and make fun of zuby but i am sure there is nothing wrong in that as far as the name is charles and not andrew

Yes i insulted him and call him a tribalist, if you see anything wrong in that then tell him to learn how to have a decent argument

You guys should not just come here an annoy me ooo, all in the name of defending, maybe your favorite

I watched many of you attacked and even insulted me because of what i said about Anthony Joshua, but i kept quiet maybe because i was wrong

But sir please you better respect your self oooo

From your reply
It's like you already have issues with me or there is something you have against some peeps here......


I condemn his reply...it wasn't appropriate.....

I understand you see most people as a tribalist here because I remember you've called Chriskels same.
Any way it is well.....

andrewbaba44:
Not zuby

You should know it’s not zuby ,I don’t know why you are asking me

CHARLES is one of the least tribal folks here.....

Please that accusation does not follow...
Moreover Zubby is of the same ethnic group with Him....

andrewbaba44:
This one might play for naija before ebere eze

But let’s see

I really feel that Ebere Eze may not have a smooth international football....

I just fear for him.... that like Akpom he may later wanna come back but gonna be a difficult ride for him.....

Dude made the mistake of rejecting the national team advances the last time....
And also had it been he gave pinnick some YES affirmation it would have been so easy for him...because there is no way this dude can be a starter or even make the bench for the 3 lions

zayyadidris:
If you can be optimistic about mad people in Ibadan then why can't you be about the north. Have you been to the so called core north before. Can you compare the north of the 18th to 19th century than to what it is now? I can agree to an extent that the north is less ambitious but saying that it will linger like that for a long time thats base on your own opinion..!!

it will linger for a long time because nothing presently is being done to solve this problem now and in the future....

the leaders/political robbers pay less attention to education, poverty alleviation programs, birth control etc. ..
currently we have over 10million amajiri kids who are not in school...but roaming around with plates...

none of the political class took the educational policy introduced by GEJ for this kids serious..... the former governor of Niger State even claim that almajiri part of their culture....
and recently Rev. Fr. kukah wanted initiate a means to see this kids feeding and education it was grossly resisted probably because of fear of them being converted to Christianity and all....

you can simply project the future by can taking a close and objective look at the happenings now.

DonFreshmoney:
Am sure he has stolen enough money to last him and his generation a lifetime.. he should leave there so another can steal.

exactly bro....he has stolen enough...
he should let others steal....

Odunayaw:
You're not wrong to say they are 'less ambitious' but anyone telling me they are overall not ambitious is going to have to make me unsee the last years of my life.

There is less perchance for Education but I have tutored brilliant minds in Niger and Nasarawa born by relative illiterates. Mind you, these are in the tens and not trickles here and there. Many of these kids form an opinion of who they want to be by media (Bollywood, Nollywood etc). Even my colleagues in University at times leave me questioning what I've heard of the North before (All from poor backgrounds). You see farmers here (don't know what letter O looks like) hustling hard to get mechanized farming equipment.

You forget that history isn't static? if I go by your analogy of "common place" things, I'd say Ibadan has the highest concentration of mad people in Nigeria but that'd be blanket isn't it?

history controls a large part of our future....especially historical loopholes that the people have refused to break away from....

for Ibadan... the government have been doing well building health care and the state OYO boast of the best hospital in the country for now...that's a giant step I believe can help curtail the highest concentration of mad people you mentioned

will ask you some random questions...your response I believe will be helpful.

when it comes to being ambitious...
for the northerners and their leaders which I see as the problem

will an ambitious person breed kids in large number in this 21st century? ??

will an ambitious state government's/elites encourage the breeding of kids in large numbers all because it gives them numerical strengths during elections

what priority is given to education in the northern region compare it with the priority given to same education in the south and tell me If they really wanna break way from this historical loopholes in years to come
and does it show being ambitious? ??

what is the focus being placed on self development and human capital development in the northern region
compare please with the south region and see if there is a likelihood there will break away from this loopholes in years to come

what is the priority given to free and compulsory education in the north
and what are the leaders doing as regard the free amajiri schools GEJ set up for them...

even awolowo vioced out in his manifesto in the 1979 elections.... that for the north he has just three things for them..

"education

education
education"


what steps have been taken to address the issue of illiteracy in the north and poverty as well over the years and in the future

what is the drive for the average northern to break away from this wicked and callous politicians and elites that have continued to keep them in misery and abject poverty
do they still worship them and attribute their wicked and corrupt rule as an act of God exonerating them of blames

the elites are not ambitous either for their people
