It reminds me of an interaction I had offshore on a Samsung Heavy Industry site. There was this Delta guy I hear everyone call Money. I just felt it was his nickname. Then one day, we were talking and I said he should tell me his real name as calling people by their nickname is not my forte. Then he said that's his name. I was taken back.

I said, "Really? If your first name is Money, what is your surname?"

"Government!"

I laughed throughout the day.

ChrisKels:
Are these African names? Golkit, Polit, Gomwalk, Plangdes, Nandes, Pankyes Lukyes, Chung, Weng, Dung, Kim etc? Man these guy's history is worth reading.


When u hear names with "gb, kp, kw, nd, nw et al, for instance Gbajabiamila, Pogba, Angban, Drogba, Ndidi, Chikwe, Nwamkpa, Olada(k)po et al, u go know say u dey West Africa. Dat said, painfully I dont kno many native hausa names, too bad they threw away everything for the Arab culture. Beats me how person name go be Alhassan ibrahim, Musa Mohammed et al, even some yeye igbos dun dey adopt such craziness where person name go be Luke Moses, Ezekiel John. I come dey wonder why people aint proud of their identity. We too like foreign things I swear. I avnt really noticed that with d Yoruba nation. A Yoruba go everly put a Yoruba name next to his either Christian or Muslim name, it was like that with igbos till this brainwashed indomie generation igbo parents came

junnyjake:
They've got really funny sounding names.

Beroms - Jang, Kim, Dung, Chung, Kangyang, kachollom, Nyam, Weng Pam e.t.c

Ngas - Golkit, Polit, Gotum, Gomwalk, etc

Mangu - Nwanret, plangdes, Nandes, Pankyes, Lukyes etc.

Jarawa - Aweng, Apam, Atang

Plateau state is a state rich with different cultures.

Haven't had the opportunity to read about their history though.

How Bafana Can Qualify For AFCON 2019…



By Soccer Laduma


Bafana Bafana face Nigeria this weekend in a crucial African Cup of Nations qualifier, with Stuart Baxter’s side knowing exactly what they need to do to reach the showpiece in Cameroon.


As things stand, Bafana sit in second place on the Group E log with eight points from four games and two matches to play. As things stand they are the only unbeaten team in the group but will have been disappointed to drop points against Libya at home and Seychelles away.

That being said, Baxter’s side could leapfrog Nigeria and book their place in Cameroon on Saturday afternoon if they’re able to beat the current log leaders at FNB Stadium, with 11 points meaning that neither Libya nor Seychelles will be able to catch them.

Even a draw could be enough for Bafana if Seychelles manage to avoid defeat at home against Libya, and a shock win for Seychelles would mean that even a loss for Bafana in Johannesburg would see them qualify ahead of the Libyans.

However, with Libya expected to at least get a point at Stade Linite, anything less than victory will see the group go down to the final game, with Bafana facing Libya in March for a spot at Cameroon 2019.

Simply put, if Bafana don’t lose either of their final two games then they will be off to the AFCON next year, but a defeat in either game could leave them requiring favours from elsewhere. In short, it’s all in their own hands.

Don't think it's an issue or advise.

Where do a large percentage of Ireland players come from ❓

Nigeria is on a higher level than Ireland even without FIFA rankings.

It's a " NO BRAINER "

gamaliel9:
CAF has started again...they did this at under 17....now at under 20....senior world cup qualifiers..the same thing will happen...anyway i hope two will come out of this group?

Joebie:
When are our players hitting camp?

komekn:
Please expand forgive my lack of knowledge.

komekn:
It's what we could call a " No brainer " Ireland or Nigeria who would you rather play for. It's a very simple choice.

ChrisKels:
Hahahahaha dey should have a taste of what we feel when we get rejected

Obafemi is Doherty's boy and he has his eyes set on the Eagles. O'Neil should stop messing around

komekn:
Very apt see quote; "Chuks is a bit like Yaya Toure - he has body power and good technique," Wenger told Arsenal's official website.

Wenger likened the attacking midfielder to Yaya Toure back in 2011, but after just one appearance and the offer of a trial with Barcelona (which he rejected), Aneke was released in 2014.

So what happened a two year injury break after going to Belguim.

Good managers don't wait for a player to blow before making the move for him. Or for other to recognise him.

He is outstanding in his league and club and the only reason he is not in the championship and being looked at in the EPL is because his club BLATANTLY REFUSED to let him go.

For what he does AM or SS can't see anybody in the SE that's better. Although in my opinion he seems to lack pace.

tbaba1234:
Michael Obafemi will not be representing Ireland. He showed up to camp out of respect for the manager but told him they are not his first choice for international football.

BascoVanVeli:
Chai see how Akwa is stripping the most professional club in Nigeria off of their best players Oga Icon4s naa joke I dey joke o no history lessons biko

Mickael2:
So who and who will now be in the main team? When we come for to the Olympics team I think Orji Okonkwo(the one in Bologna) deserves a look in as well

Mickael2:
Oga! Oga! Oshimen is in which club again? Odey is starting for his team now in the Europa League against Bayern Leverkusen, do you think that is beans? Chukwueze just played his first match for Villarreal B, since he has been playing for the team B. Odey deserves it, his claim is reinforced by the fact that he has actually been performing for years now, he cannot force buyers to come, but he has scored everywhere he has played. I am not saying he must be invited but saying that he is playing at a low club when we invited Oshimen and Chukwueze is hypocritical

Curtisaxel7:
Senegal beat Poland with the 4-4-2 formation at the last World cup.

It's all about knowing what works for you.

Curtisaxel7:
Well who says we must play with a 10?

A good tactician chooses the best formation to suit his available resources. So, for me, if Iwobi is out, no more no. 10. Simple and short.

Chrismario:
Oga forget it, Nacho can play as 10 against SA

gamaliel9:
Ebiede hum....the best i watched of him was an Olympic qualifier against Uganda..and Clemens Westerhof was Ugandan s coach and we needed four goals to qualify.....Pius Ikedia saved us that day..They had to give Westerhof red card for us to score the fourth goal oooo...Ebiede was classic in this game..he even scored twice..i think so..after that...the end of Ebiede

comodo:
It don tey wey I never hear of Kayode in this forum. Wetin happen?? Just asking oh.

fabyom:
Yes boss! Baba God has been picking calls since time immemorial. I am also grateful to him. #gratefulhearts

Curtisaxel7:
I prefer we play without a 10.

Maybe a flat 4-4-2 with Musa pairing Success up front.

Iheanacho as a 10= recipe for disaster.

Curtisaxel7:
Did Iheanacho work wonders against Seychelles? How many defence splitting passes did he make? Chances created nko?

Dude struggled against ordinary Seychelles!

fabyom:
Alright! boss. I cannot imagine how happy and elated you must have been back then

BascoVanVeli:
I was told he is in Uyo right now so Akwa is at the front of the line in Nigeria at least. I hope he goes to Europe though

Curtisaxel7:
Nawa oh. Iheanacho as a no. 10? In 2018? Against SA?

I laugh in Hindi.
