But, if they were told like that, you would have seen that hunger would kill the priests working in the house of God, because many people will be thinking like oga Ibime (who wants to even give coins in the church ), I wonder how the priests will survive.

Guy, it's like you don't know how much wealth Anglican Church is sitting on. Their investment fund alone is worth over £8bln and they are large shareholders in many blue chip companies, plus they own lands worth billions that have been gifted to them by successive monarchs like Alfred the Great since 9th century. Even if no one contributes offering for the next 100 years, they will still pay their Priests and maintain all their buildings.

Na why Church of England make sense. I can't be going to a hungry church that will make me deprive my loved ones in order to keep their Priests fed.

Raumdeuter, PDPGuy and Roland17 must share their stimulus cheques with us! Shey TheCassanova dey dat side sef.

We no go gree o, we no go gree.

So in other words, it would have made little to no difference?



Reason why I asked because they lost at least 6 first team players on that plane and We still only managed to eke out a 2-1 victory.

Their European based players like Bwalya and Charly Musondas father were not on the flight so they still had their very best players. Other great players like Elijah Litana emerged and they had great team spirit as a result of the crash which made them arguably better.

They whitewashed Mali 4-0 in the other semifinal. This was a Mali team that has disgraced the hosts Tunisia and dumped out Egypt from the tournament.

airmark:



Yes o. Ours got boots too, by cutting round, the inner material of each crown, and wore it on them.

We used cream covers as our goal keepers to cover more space in goal.

We melted candle inside our criwns to make them strong like Gattuso. Chai.

Yeah I forgot the boot sef.

Melting candles was our old style but it didn't make them heavy enough. You can still blast shot through them so we used those small ceramic tiles.

Big argument before each tournament as to whether you can use your hand for cutting the ball to make it change direction. Eventually we outlawed cutting in my hood.

The game is all about technology, and whoever spend the most time modifying his team will usually win. Many of my goals were from freekicks and I modify two players in my team especially for freekicks by bending out the counter so they can chip the ball. I will bend one out well well for long range freekicks and another one just slightly for shorter range freekicks

airmark:
Table soccer - good old days.

I enjoyed this game ehn, especially tournaments. These guys did not even dress their players in Jersey.

We dress our players properly and even put tiles inside to make them heavier. Plus my defenders were not even counter. They were those water bottle tops stuffed with tiles. We use their height to form wall for freekick.

For the goalkeeper, we knock 3 or 4 counters together and put tile in the middle so he won't be falling and letting goals in. It got to the stage, I even got my dad to cut me a solid square block of iron in his machine shop to use as goalkeeper

Roland17:
I can argue against that but again, that may be a subjective argument like Dayo said. So maybe I will rephrase and say which team will you say does not get as much hype as the popular ones?

The Dutch team got much hype. I would say the Germans of 1986-1990 didn't get any hype from their consistent performances. Brehme is not put up there with the best left backs and Mattheus is never mentioned with Baresi, Maldini et Al for example

chic2pimp:
Would Nigeria have won the 94 ANC had the Zambians not had their squad decimated by the plane crash a year prior?

The new team performed better than the old team funny enough

Roland17:
@raumdeuter, afrodoc, Ibime and all..Which national team do you think is underrated in history?

Mine will be the Netherlands team of the late 80's/ early 90's with Van Basten, Rijkaard, Koeman, Gullit and A. Winter.

Teams can't be underrated I don't think, only individuals. A teams rating is based on results.

https://www.nairaland.com/5794910/keniebi-okoko-alive-not-dead

On this story making rounds on Keniebi Okoko, I understand that when the power cut and backup gen wouldnt come on, the surgeon apparently cut something in the confusion and he bled out. It wasn't due to anaesthetic failure. I understand the surgeon has been arrested. Please who is liable in this case between the Hospital and the Surgeon?

raumdeuter:
Its worse than that, once you pick CR7 you cannot pick anyone who ever played for Madrid, Pick Messi and you cannot pick Ronaldo, Dinho Romario, Neymar Suarez etc

That's long. . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yashin

Lichsteiner. . Beckenbauer. . .Baresi. . . Robertson

. . . . . . . . . Enzo Scifo. . . .Charlton

. . . . . Messi. . . . . Pele. . . . . Puskas

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .Eusebio

raumdeuter:
Can you give your best 11 and no 2 players must have played for the same club or country ever

That's akin to asking me to pick between Messi and Maradona, or Ronaldo and Pele

raumdeuter:
I didnt remember him playing in Senegal 92, Na Elastic Elahor own the left wing



Westerhof brought in Emenalo and Nwanu late into the US94 squad as they didnt play Tunisia, The Emenalo decision was good because Iroha got injured in our first game and missed the rest of the tournament

Yeah he was bench fodder. Elahor and Yekini no gree am play.

Emenalo actually acquitted himself well in 1994 World Cup. Argentina match was the first time I ever saw him play for Naija. His wing was solid. It was always Eguavoen wing that was leaking

afrodoc2:
Ikpeba hired limousine to take himself to the airport after Italy beat us(while others used the team bus). He was angry that he didn’t get any opportunity to shine in the tournament.

Ikpeba could have come on for Amunike to be fair

elampiro:
Some people wanted Ikpeba to be dropped because he was a new invitee who whose chance of getting a game was 1/20

Ikpeba was in Senegal 92 squad.

Just when boys dey try quit smoking, them want give us reason to continue

Skimpledawg:
If no be my babe that year, na then I for buy my first car. My boss go do yahoo yahoo for us.

Imagine NACA go release 50m for a particular project, my boss and all the executives go come release like 10m to all the NGOs pocket 35m come give us 5m to go field to do the project.

Omo, we go just drive out with hilux find one better hotel dey knack better data to send come share the money amongst ourselves. Na me go still type report, go Abuja still defend am.

Mehn, that year na better cruise.

No exactly so Buhari social register go be. The local guys go chop with their families, then add a few legitimate recipients and take picture for larride to publicise for us.

hardeycute:
Alagba Skimple!!! Is this what you preach in your church?

Skimpledawg is a tithe loving pastor

raumdeuter:
elampiro afrodoc who are the 2 people in this youtube between Akokachi and Siasia

The one next to SiaSia is Nduka Ugbade

He was substitute leftback in Tunisia 94, but when it came to World Cup, Keshi and Emenalo did parapo and convinced Westerhoff to kick him out for Emenalo

raumdeuter:
The 2nd goal vs Zaire na penalty after dem fall Yekini

It was Oliseh that put Yekini clean through for the goalkeeper to foul him. You get that gif?

@ Raumdeuter, he also assisted Adepoju in the Gabon match, assisting 2 of the 3 goals

Zaire QF, he assisted the first goal, then put Yekini clean through to win the penalty for the 2nd goal

Semifinal vs Ivory Coast, another over the top ball to release Finidi who squared to Yeking for the 2nd equalizer

Final vs Zambia, also assisted over the top for Amunike

This is a midfielder, yet na Okocha those our supporters club who only come to shout ay, ay go carry for head.

raumdeuter:
Na the Zaire own be this

https://j.gifs.com/D1lyYk.gif

He did 4 assists in this tournament over the top. I think he did Zaire twice

raumdeuter:
Oliseh na baller when he came in 1993, He brought another dimension of vision and long-range pass into our National team that was when we realized we have a real world-class player on our hand

Did you hear when Oliseh was giving one speech recently about Yekini, He said

See this pass to Yekini, why won't a striker be praying for Oliseh every day, One-time ball and the striker isolated with the keeper
https://j.gifs.com/lxNZMV.gif

This must be the first goal against Gabon.

Oliseh also killed Zaire in QF with these over the tops.

Question Time:

Arsene - Arsenal

Give me another combo of club and manager where the names look related

Raumdeuter stay out of this one please, I'm sure you know one

Wolfgang Wolf of Wolfsburg

Amoto94:
Ibime the cash register is true the focal person of the SIP in my state is an acquaintance though I won't rule out party members benefitting but the bulk of the beneficiaries aren't party members.

Ask your bro to get in touch, let's sort out the data for his ghost register and make his chopping pain-free.

raumdeuter:
When I dey vex for showboaters like Okocha you need to watch efficient footballers and know the difference

Big ups to Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh, strong in tackle, Calm in possession with vision like an eagle, left leg, right leg, shots he dey there

See this break in attack and immediate vision to launch a through ball to his attacker not wasting time. Imagine say na JayJay win ball there, he will first relax and look to disgrace the opponent while our attackers will be there suffering

https://j.gifs.com/D1lyYk.gif


See the same type of ball over the top in the Nations cup final

https://j.gifs.com/VAKXoX.gif

vs Senegal in the 2000 Nations cup we were suffering Oliseh had Malaria, he saw the team down and hopeless with Okocha doing his thing, Oliseh begged to come on from the bench and before long sent a long pass that opened the Senegalese defence and Aghahowa scored (elampiro where were you that day)

Omo that moment madness catch me, See as I run, Even watching the highlight now sef I wan dey cry.

If you watch all these good times of Nigerian football, you can see why some of us cant be bothered to watch the current eyesore we have now

That is why he played for European giants of his time like Ajax, Juve and Dortmund not the likes of Fenerbahce, Frankfurt or Bolton

Oliseh assisted with 4 or 5 of these over the top balls in that Nations Cup. Oliseh is my favourite Super Eagle of all time, closely followed by Finidi.

I was lucky to attend live the Nigeria vs Japan friendly in Southampton in 2001 or so. I was almost surprised to see that there was only one man controlling the midfield passing game, and that was Oliseh, not Okocha. His technique was superb.

obainojazz:
Party man being dragged.. Pleased I am

He is selling a dead horse

The only way Govt can provide any sort of believable palliative in such short time period is by asking banks to credit any personal bank account in the country within a limit of transaction levels with a certain figure.

Only a fool will believe LGAs will get directive by end of this week, assess and verify poor households in their vicinity and submit list by end of next week. Some LGA will be using web-based data system, some will be using Excel while most will be writing on paper. What a massive avenue for corruption from APC house of confusion. LGA Chairmen will just write result jor.

And this is how you know the level of corruption involved here. Buhari said he wants an extra one million households. That means they will write result because surely all the LGAs in the country will not submit exactly 1 million. Infact, there is no reason why 20-50 million names should not be submitted by end of next week given many people can arguably claim they fit the criteria. What will APC do then, will they cut the numbers to fit their target of 1 million households? How do you cut numbers at a global level without delving into the individual status of each person on the register? That means there are no individuals. They are writing result and will just allocate numbers across each LGA to fit their 1 million target.

This is nothing new from APC. This is how they claimed Buhari won APC primaries with 15 millions votes. Does APC have 15 million members? How will 15 million people step out to vote in common primaries in this country and the country will not be at standstill like election day. They were writing numbers in APC primaries to justify the numbers they will write later in the general election. This Govt is despicable when it comes to numbers. Larride stop defending rubbish. What sort of sychophancy is this?

larride:
Lol. You are free to believe whatever you want sir.

Do you know any LGA chairman? This is his chance to chop by making up random names for this register. We can help him with the data work.

larride:
That infograph from ICRN is for those that has been paid in the ongoing exercise.

Below is from NASSCO.

Hahahaha. You are a comedian.

So you believe 11 million people in Nigeria are on register.

Can you get in touch with your hunchos in APC? I can create the extra 1 million households and 6 million people for them using a random generator that they can sell to the public. I will make sure the households are fairly distributed across all LGs to represent Federal character. It will not take me more than 2 days. I must chop join.

BlueRayDick:
Baba, they just cut and join speech for Buhari to read yesterday ni jare. Shebi u see how he was talking about palliative measures of cash transfer being done only for Larride to make us understand NISRAL hasn't transferred one kobo to anyone even after 2 weeks Bubu announced it.

Yet Bubu is talking as if he's about to roll out second phase when phase 1 never start.

Those heading APC Govt obviously don't rate us with the way they lie to our faces and dish out half truth like say we no get sense

Buhari said yesterday and I quote:

I have also directed that the current social register be expanded from 2.6 million households to 3.6 million households in the next two weeks. This means we will support an additional one million homes with our social investment programs. A technical committee is working on this and will submit a report to me by the end of this week.

Take 2.6 million poor households at a conservative estimate of 4 per household, I expect to see 10m people on register.

His other quote - he has directed them to expand the social register to 3.6m people in the next 2 weeks. If I don't see at least 1m people queueing to join social register in the next two weeks the thunder go fire pesin. I fully expect Larride to post some audio pictures of people queueing in Zamfara to justify this audio registration. All I know is that there is no way 1 million people will queue for something in 2 weeks and the whole of Nigeria will not know about it.
