Please go to abuja
I have stayed in both cities much easier to hurtsle and start life in abuja than lagos and the traffic stress and cost of living less when compared to lagos

U can stay in places like Gisiri, mpape, deidei etc and stil meet up with appointments or job at maitama,wuse etc but not same for lagos

But pray about it also

Hi here's another perspective on the matter.

https://www.nairaland.com/6686999/tokyo-olympics-facts-puma-contract

The incompetency of the sport ministry was alsp revealed during the last national sports festival in edo state earlier this year where the tournament was stopped at some point because of lack of funds and there was serious talks and disagreements between the ministry of sports and Edo state government.

I think we have had enough of political opportunist heading our sport ministry

JayromWrites:
How good?


He isnt getting game time at Arsenal, not even cameos


i know he is young but then,in football these days.. who isnt?

He is just 18 years old. A product of hale academy and he is good wit passes and typically shots accurately

If we had wait for Iwobi to hit the spot light we won't have get him so easily

It is a gamble this lad will be a star few years time

daveP:
Naim this Anazodo dey say crap all over blaming athletes and calling their protests fake?

We like to sugar-coat corruption.

See how some are calling what Kyari did a mistake, and are defending him with tooth and nail?!!!


Perhaps China dey overdo with monthly Prison Excursion. Or people that sugar are all demonic and mad. Very deranged folks.

No one should come and say This is Nigeria.

They can't even disimburse funds for kits for 60 athletes pere? 60!!! And USA took 603.


Smh!!!

I am seriously scared should we qualify for the world cup. The problem is virtually all Nigerians have their favourite thief as a result of tribal or religious affliation and when this thieves are caught they come out openly to defend them even when the thief is busy stealing and ransacking their future

IDENNAA:
Talking of Delta state , a state I am familiar with its politics I can confidently tell you that Delta is desperately corrupt. The state DNA has corruption inscribed in it. The civil service is so corrupt it 'd impossible to fight corruption in that state. It has gotten to the point where corrupt is legitimate means of making money.

The ex governor Ibori successfully planted the seed of corruption and it has grown and now flourishing. Its terrible down there. They share bag of monies in their offices like it is breakfast akara. I did court wedding in Delta and all I could think of was to just kill every God forsaken worker at that local government. We bought the bottles of wine , groudnut , crates of malt , bribe money before service fee. At the back of the building they had stacks of wines and malts as if they are a distributing company. I was enraged but my wife calmed me down. This cannot happen in Anambra!

Mazi you don't have to say this twice

I schooled in uniben a school populated by deltans, i saw corruption possessed individuals i remember nadeltsu elections (scrabble for bursary money) and uniben sug elections. In all honesty they see corruption as way of life thats why a senator who has spent over 18 years in NAS could knee down before convicted ibori and beg for political blessings to be a governor

charlesemeka85:
hv heard much about azeez but i doubt we will get him cus spain is eyeing him too

We can if we re fast enough. We always wait for them to hit the spot light prior we go after them

We ought to lure them the way we got Iwobi.
We can lure him with the prospect of making afcon and world cup next year thats a big gamble that may pay off because the lad is good that was how algeria got Mahrez

charlesemeka85:
is nwakali an AM?

nwakali is an AM that can also play as CM

Since Eze and Olise is still taking time to pledge their allegiance to the super eagles while dont the NFF go for arsenal youngster Miquel Azeez while we keep an eye on nwakali we really need a good AM for the super eagles to compete well in afcon and world cup

TheGoodJoe:


Foden did not play because Southgate opted for a negative tactics. Sterling, John Stones and Kyle Walker were brilliant at the Euros. Zinchenko also did well.

Remember Bernardo Silva was fantastic at the Nations League too.

Foden played but didnt do so well but mount did

Anyway you made some points

JohnBullMySon:
You and millions of other Nigerians have this thing in common. drawing conclusions from one sided stories. Why not calm your nerves and emotions down and allow Sunday Dare to bring his own side of the story? Definitely there's something wrong with that contract issue. Sunday Dare may be wrong somewhere, but he's not that stupid to reject the PUMA contract jerseys just like that for no reason. There's a lot more to the story.

Tell us more to the story.
There is no wisdom in blocking supply of kits from puma while subject the athletes to wash and wear jerseys during the games and instead went to buy substandard jerseys from another supplier

At the end of the Olympics games you'll hear how 10B naira was spent on the Olympics. The probably reason why this kits and other benefits were blocked is because it only benefit the athletes and not them.

I always talk about corruption in this country i do so from experience having reside in abuja don't want us to be diplomatic with it.... just watch how the sport minister will do another ramble at the worldcup should we qualify i assure u

andrew444:
Dani olmo ,oyazarbal I never still see those ones for Barca and Madrid

Lol..don't mind Tamuno

andrew444:
I believe he will surely go great there

Yeah i wish him well

TheGoodJoe:

Time will tell but my money is on Jack Grealish. I am expecting a huge leap in his performances and people criticizing us we just bought a SUPERSTAR. Let the season begin.

Nothing amaze me much with man city players anymore they seems to only fit pep philosophy for their national team sides the likes of bernado,foden,Ike didnt do well in last euros

Well he will excel at man city since he has good ball control and seems to thrive well in attacking sides

andrew444:
Wow

Onyekuru is the Messi there

Modified

Just found out that the captain who dropped the number 7 for onyekuru is switching to the number 10 jersey

This may be his season to hit the ground running

Greece has a decent league when compared to Belgium and nigeria players have always done well for Olympiankos the likes of Ideye, olatilo can't remember his name proper had a nose dize after his collapse on the field of play

andrew444:
Aston Villa has made 3 massive signing

They signed the best championship player from Norwich for 40 million euros ,Emiliano buenda the Argentine ,they signed Leon Bailey from leverkusen for 30 million euros and now they have signed Danny Ings for 25 million euros

Watch out for Aston Villa

You never can tell bro
Remember spurs once made such signings soldado and co after bale exit and fulhan too with nothing to show for it

andrew444:
Lies ,grealish didn’t turn anyone down to stay at Villa ,those club weren’t serious

He is joining mancity now because city are serious in getting him

Bless u bro
Imagine tamuno saying if he was spanish he will be in madrid or berca at least

If not that we have eyes we would have still same of kelvin philips and Rice

TheGoodJoe:

Saka got selected to play more like a wingback and not because he was better than Grealish. Southgate opted for a more defensive approach and selected the team based on that.

Can't argue much with you because that Southgate na agbaya.... gernot rohr English nephew. But i dont agree with agree with that grealish is up to pedri potentials

TheGoodJoe:

Jack Grealish was not given a chance by the coach. That is not a proof that Pedri is better. When Jack Grealish got a bit of chance, he showed quality.

The coach saw all he has to offer the team during friendlies and more so he wasn't pleased with his inputs of all subs saka played better and even steal the show at some point nothing special from grealish at last euros

Tamunotonye22:
You have proved so much point to let these guys bully you like that. There are a bunch of players that have UCL experience and cannot be on the same level with grealish. This is common sense. Mane and VVD had no UCL experience from s'oton. It's just funny and ridiculous when I hear people call EPL and it's players overrated. England not winning the WC or Euros has nothing to do with the players, but with the coach. Coaches/managers these days have a philosophy (Mancini,guardiola, Tuchel, klopp) and that alone changes the mentality of a team and a player. Conte and Mourinho all had that top manager quality (philosophy and format) that helped them edge over their counterparts. We saw how klopp and pochettino played out (esp Spurs with a team you'd arguably call average) at the UCL finals the last time. And now Tuchel and guardiola, Southgate is nowhere half as good as these men are. Most of y'all watch this game for fun and probably for goals and it clearly shows.
@TheGoodJoe you made too much sense, respect!

You need to learn the rules of engagement
Goodjoe argued his points without calling me or anyone else delusional and please lets be civil the fact we hold diverse views doesn't make any delusional

Tamunotonye22:
Why is this comparison please?
Your statement is delusional but I'd have to question about you. They're both gen talents and spent time at lower teams (grealish has been at the top level, drawing interest from man utd and Spurs from the same age as Pedri now). Trust me, if grealish was Spanish he'd be at Real or barça by now just like your Pedri Lol

We all saw both play for their national teams at the last euro no youngster from England could match him talent wise

You talk about if grealish was spanish he would be in Madrid or berca, you make me laugh if not for the privilege of been english i doubt if he is worth beyond 50m pounds and even an elite club material

This men have no shame sha becauss if secondus really have an aorta of shame, he should have resigned

Ppogbae:
PUMA has terminated their contract with Nigerian athletics effective immediately. They donated $2.7 million USD in kit and offered to compensate all of our medal winners. Instead, the Federation proceeded to use funds to purchase substandard kit from another supplier (as a pretext for embezzling funds of course). This zoo's collapse is imminent.



#DareOut
#SundayDareMustGo

If Nigeria was a sane country the minister of sports, finance minister and cbn governor ought to be sacked by now

Ppogbae:
Sunday Dare and the higher ups at the athletics federation will rot in perdition. This is truly the height of callousness.

I blame Nigerians that voted this government in for the second time
Cluelessnes all in his cabinet dalung now sunday dare

TheGoodJoe:

Grealish not having Champions League experience has to do with his club and not his talent. Players like Riqui Puig and Pedri are not as good as him but they have Champions League experience.

Lol.... oga that guy is not as good as pedri
Please don't compare them

TheGoodJoe:
See what I am saying? No one talks about the improved buying power of the selling club. Reports have it that Aston Villa just landed Danny Ings. Which I consider a massive signing from Southampton.

Lol...so u rate all this english over hyped expensive players No wonder you're busy justifying the 100M pounds purchase of grealish a player wit no champions league experience

do4luv14:
Just in sport, but in other areas Okowa had done better than Emma by more than 100%

Are you for real
Considering what obaseki, the governor of awka ibom have done i still dont rate that okowa

Delta state ought to be on same pal with awka ibom if not for corruption. Warri north reputed to be one of the 3 most richest local government in nigeria together with amac abuja and etiosa in lagos is still lavishing in underdevelopment, have always know deltans as the most educated folks in south south but corruption has dealt with the state seriously

TheLoneCitizen:
And they have tied him down to one extra year.

It is a good one bro
A win win situation for them

We just want him to be in a club where he gets to play regular top flight foot ball just to be sharpened for afcon and worldcup

do4luv14:
Yes, I been set vexing for this our present sport commissioner, he suppose to carry on from where Pinnick stop,

All this present Delta sportmen/woman, we're great helped, and sponsored by Pinnick led sport commission, holding meet here and there, to help keep them in top condition

This Okowa is worst than Uduaghan everyone thought was worse off can't even be compared to ibori
I dont wanna go into politics now but so unfortunate the corruption that have been allowed to breath freely in delta state especially under this government and now the Senate vice president worse than the governor is bracing to take over from him.

Alfryd:
I don see am

but Delta State deserve accolades concerning sport generally

Yes ooo
They've always been winning the national sports festival everytime always top the medals table

Pinnick was delta state director of sports for years prior he contested for NFF presidency he is related to roli uduaghan former delta state first lady as a younger brother. I remember he did excellently well there

Karlovych:
Samuel Edozie scored for a third game in a row for Manchester City in pre-season

Good for him but I dont see him playing for us
It is certain

JohnBullMySon:
I believe he was the CEO not long back. The fact that you founded a company does not mean you cannot be pushed out. I don't know how large his stake in the company is, but if he doesn't own majority ( I believe he doesn't) he can be removed as CEO. Those who invested in the company might be more powerful than him ( The politicians you mentioned can come in here).

Yeah
You're very intelligent

I like your conversation especially when it has to do with broad issues

andrew444:
Only if he will make a move to the epl

Yeah but many of this kids have their first option as England
