I will follow everyone advice, so am moving on, I had resolve to built back my faith and strong will, and I will greatly appreciate any help I can get in my quest to March on, one of the most important things on my mind now, is a new environment, as the one am presently contribute to my resolve yesterday,

furthermore, to those that drop msg for me on whatsapp, sorry for not replying, I don't have data to go online, as am using free method presently,

To my able CHSOSA president sir Icon4s, my sincerely apologise for not picking your call, as I told those I dropped my number with yesterday, not to call, Sir I will explain my reason, whenever I was able to come online,


Thanks once again my good friends and colleagues of TSET on nairaland, I love you all

Good to know you are gradually coming over it. Truth is that the world is a very cruel place and we have all had our various forms of challenges both in the past and in the present. One thing I know is that no condition is permanent. What you are passing through is a phase that most of us passed through. Thank God the two of us attended same secondary school so you will have an idea of the kind of background I am coming from. No condition is permanent bro and you need to stay alive to be able to change your condition.
Pray to your almighty father in heaven, he answers prayers.

hmmm, Guys pls remember me in your prayers, for the first time since I tried it in my teenage years,

Am contemplating suicide , life had not been fair, Am thinking of ending it all,

Charles!!
What is this I am reading from you? You are contemplating on what?
What's happening? You know you can always reach out to me. Please don't do anything silly. Pretty late now. I will reach out to you early tomorrow morning.

Edited: I decided to call him even though it's late but he didn't pick. Will try him again early tomorrow morning.

Omanambala:
Nda is obviously an elite defender; I said it here when Kogs45 was flipping over his invite.

I will never stop believing in home grown talents. My first pick till eternity!

The NPFL has been known to produce descent defenders to the SE over the years. And so I personally had no issues with Ndah's inclusion.

Danielnino00:
Some folks are even clamoring for Arthur Okonkwo..lol...
I can agree that we may not find enough quality outfield players in our league due to the crude nature of play there, but the same can't be said of goalkeepers. After Cameroon, I can't think of any other African country that has ever produced better goalkeepers than us.. Shorunmu, Rufai, Dosu, Enyeama, Ejide and even Dele Aiyebugba were good goalies... The current crisis we are experiencing in the goalkeeping department is simply due to the nonchalant attitude of Alloy Agu and whoever are working with him...
Sometimes,it doesn't matter how well a team plays...a bad goalkeeper can make all the difference..

I can't agree less. Especially at the knockout stages, a goal keeper can make so much difference. Look at the Burkinabe goalie, yesterday. He helped Burkina Faso secure that lead.

But the only shot directed at Okoye all tournament, he couldn't save

My fear from the start was in that goal keeping department. That goal changed the entire complexity of the game. The 4:4 draw against Sierra Leone in Benin and the goal we conceded against Cape Verde away really exposed Okoye's weaknesses but I guess the goal keeper trainers were blinded.

Francis Uzoho would more likely have saved that shot.

andrewbaba44:
Nigeria is out of the tournament for sure before some of una use that one enter me

But what do most of you guys see in this Cameroon team that you rate them if I may ask ? This people no sabi play ball abeg ,to lay accurate pass self Na wahala ,no pattern

They will surely win todays game ,but if this team wins this tournament then African teams really have a long way to go

They are the "indomitable Lions of CAMEROON". That is what they have been known for. They will not play good football for an entire tournament but they mostly get the job done. I see them like the Chelsea of African football

It is not just an issue of home advantage cos the previous 5 editions Cameroon won were not on home soil.

They know how to play tournaments especially in Africa. Like I had mentioned earlier, before the AFCON kicked off, as far as the AFCON is concerned I will always rate teams like Cameroon, Nigeria and Egypt ahead of likes of Senegal, Ivory Coast, Algeria and Morocco, irrespective of the form any of these four teams is in.

The only team we thought could have challenged Cameroon in this AFCON was Nigeria. But we screwed up big time against Tunisia.

jihday:
I always tell people that tournament football is 60% luck 40% ability. We’ve seen it play out several times

For me:
At group stage: 70% ability, 30% luck
Knockout stage: 50% ability, 50% luck

daveP:
Ghana parts ways with Milovan. Who's hoping on to face Peseiro?

Their fans are clamoring for a local coach.

daveP:
Meanwhile....


NPFL starts. The Away Syndrome continues but scoring slightly better.


Kayode Bankole of Remo Stars with 5 Clean Sheets in 7games.

Cos the NPFL does not have good strikers.Let these NPFL goalies face continental opponents and you will see them making embarrassing blunders. Especially when they face North African teams.

daveP:
Those were markers of time actually. Morning and Evening. It marked a full day. Which is why that sentence kept reoccurring. We have no prove except the one before our eyes in Gen. 1. So instead of thinking it was morning and evening work, we have to believe it was a full day work, marked by those timelines.

Exactly, morning and evening signifying the start and end of a day. That's all. All the activities took place from morning to evening (which is a full day) and not Just morning and evening.

[quote author=Meliforme post=109700613][/quote]There is nothing here that points to anything that says creation activities were carried out only in the morning and evening.
What you have stated in those chapters are a sequence of activities carried out during creation. That's all! The morning and evening used there signifies the start and end of the day. It wasn't stated at what time of the day those activities were carried out. Whether Morning, noonday or evening.

Please we need be careful even as preachers of the Gospel and as Christians in general. This is why I don't need anybody to interpret my Bible for me. A lot of people are being misinformed by what their Pastors perceive is right and not what the bible says.

Please I don't want to drag this any further Cos thiS Is not a religious thread. I believe I have made my point.

The Nairaland Nigerian Football Fans awards is in the news. See Link below.

https://rulersworld.com/victor-osimhen-wins-nairaland-nigerian-football-fans-player-of-the-year/

Well done to Danielnino00 and the entire organizing Committee.

Hopefully, we can commence planning for this year's awards early enough.

TheGoodJoe:
This is you just being negative. We were clearly one of the best teams in the group stage. Eguavoen was voted best coach of the group stage.

We played better than the Tunisians. We created far more chances, even with a man down.

He was very sound.

The individual brilliance you now wan to claim showed because of the tactical improvement Eguavoen brought.

You guys are being fictitious with your criticisms.

I can't agree less.

We outplayed the Tunisians even being a man down.
We only laacked two players in that game: a goalie and a striker. Else it would have been a different story today.

Meliforme:
Please to clear some misconception about the scriptures. No creation activity took place in the night. Creation was done in the morning and in the evening. God rested not because of exhaustion but because he has completed his work.

I am not against working at night, but please let it not be a sleepless night. To imply a sleepless night indicated that the matter was somehow puzzling to his mind. His mind kept him awake and gave him away to sleeplessness. His mind was restless and confused. This is a deficiency, and should not be discussed in the public.

As a member of the technical committee, it shouldn't be so difficult for him. He should have a first hand knowledge of the players.

Who and who are even in the list of the 28 man squad, that it was so much a puzzle that his mind couldn't leave him alone. I wish he could come out in the public to say what fabyom has made of the statement.

I said it wasn't good and we have seen it

Guys, sorry to derail this thread a bit.
Bro, what proves do you have that creation activities only took place in the morning and evening? I am just curious.

DrKlever:
I lost more yesterday. Lost a huge bucks that i can't afford to for betting on just one game, Nigeria to win( it was so sure to me after i saw odds increased to 1.98) and i lost my first ever and last bet. Felt depressed 9ja had to bow out in such manner( na ogun go kee that ref). I still got banned by a bolt for sharing match link for Christkel to watch the rubbish match. Work was just off today, I'm yet to recover from the whole events yesterday. Chai

Stay Off betting for your own good.

One of those shots stopped by Onana in that first half was exactly the type that beat Maduka yesterday.

If only we had a goalie

AndSunGorilla:
Can we hire Gambia's coach? Eguavoen is a very nice man no doubt but I agree with some pundits here, he may not have the capacity to take us to the promised land

The way they play as if they have been to the AFCON multiple times. So much confidence and composure

darkelf:
Noted Sir

I apologize for the harsh words directed.

But I must let you know something Smir and this is from my heart, I actually mean no harm by my antics here. But I feel the rest of the members of this thread are taking my antics a bit too far.

See, I was disappointed deep down when th our performance. I actually wanted the SE to prove me wrong. I would've delivered my public apology here without mincing words.

See, you people shouldn't take my banters personal. Because they are just that - banters.

But if I went too far, then sorry but please life doesn't begin and end with the SE. The way some of you guys started calling me failure in real life promoted my continual rejoicing. No need insulting one another over a team that doesn't know of our existence individually.

My apologies Sir

No problems bro.

WE MOVE

zuchyblink:
Our next coach should scout for goalkeepers at home,our best goalkeepers are not abroad

[size=8pt][/size]
Nigerian league of 2022 is no Where near how it was in 2004. Enyeama was a back to back CAF champions league winner with Enyimba with big CAF champions league experience. So he was already well grounded with continental football.

We need the best goalies irrespective of where they are based. That's all.

---

This Gambian team is really doing well for themselves. They are not even playing like debutants.
Well I am not surprised considering their performances at youth level in the past.
Their senior team has really under achieved but i think this is their time to shine.

darkelf:
I'm doing very well

I only troll on social media but in life, I'm the nicest guy around and full of positive energy

Just learn to curb your enthusiasm next time

Now, listen. For those that have known me here for the past 7 years on this thread, I don't hype any player or group of players. I am usually conservative with my expectations. Infact, I have always mentioned that this current generation of SE is the weakest

However, knowing the kind of Pedigree we have as a footballing nation in Africa, I will always expect us to do well in every AFCON, even in the next edition. Yes that is always my expectation. Irrespective of the quality of team we present, we are NIGERIA!

The way you celebrated our loss yesterday, I doubt you celebrated our group stage wins.
You called me an old man in your other post and so let me give you an elderly advice. Defeat in life starts from the mind. When you so magnify your challenges and obstacles, dwelling so much on them and paying little attention to your strength or abilities, you are bound to get overwhelmed or not even make any attempts.

There are lots of positives to take from the 4 matches we played at this AFCON.

WE MOVE.

Mujtahida:
Being a realist does not mean that I'd become negative. Professionally one is trained to see loop holes, faults and flaws but balance demands that one does not stay negative. It's the mindset I want to understand, you come in when we lose and have a good laugh. Then stay away when we win. It's not the SE that is the target. It is we, fans of the SE whose joy he despises. I like how Icon4s puts it: it is his failure. Kpom

Negativity can be a very big problem especially when it becomes part and parcel of someone. You dare not take your dreams and visions to such people. They will kill it.

Dannyxy:
The red card gave Tunisians the win...

Maybe you guys need to watch again, Nigeria did most the playing, miss clear scoring chances, goal keeping error gave them the win, Nigeria kept pressing with 10 men, that share will and tenacity was beautiful to watch...

Nigeria did not loose we were poor, ill luck, but the team will grow in character from this...

I can't agree less.

We stood a better chance of bouncing back with 11 against 11. Also if we had a good striker at this AFCON it could have probably been a different story.
I can't wait to have Osimhen back. We have managed Awoniyi and Sadiq enough. And sorry they both are not up to the mark.

As for Maduka, it was just a matter of time for him to be exposed. He wasn't tested at the group stage. He is still very much work in progress.

By and large, there are lots of positives to be taken from our outing at this AFCON. It has really shown that with very good tactics this team will perform better.

Sad we lost, but shit happens in football. Just one of those days. We have to move on.

Mujtahida:
It is his failure ooo. Speaks more about his person than football. I'd avoid him if I know him in real life.

Honestly.
And I have never taken his evil predictions here seriously. And I never will.

darkelf:
I'm doing very well

I only troll on social media but in life, I'm the nicest guy around and full of positive energy

Just learn to curb your enthusiasm next time

My friend don't disguise under any social media troll. We have known ourselves for too long here and i can tell you most of us reflect our real life outside, including you. You have been consistent with this your Dark attitude.
Continue to celebrate your failure.
So so so predictable.

darkelf:
I know say icon4s and Mujtahida would avoid this thread

Na them they claim Patriotic citizens.

When you disrespect facts, you get fantasy which leads to inevitable defeat

Ogbeni continue Celebrating your failure.
You celebrate when you fail. Keep it up. Enjoy your celebrations.

darkelf:
They are already arguing about who to face in the semi-finals

Even that World cup, they won't qualify



Icon4s, Mr Patriotism, where at thou.

As far as I am concerned, the only monicker here who predicted a 50-50 game was Elyte89 and forgiveness

The rest was talking about which players would score B4 even match start

HahaHa so predictable as usual. You didn't have the balls to come here when we won games. You are definitely an enemy of progress. I hope this doesn't translate to your real life outside.

Even though i am sad we lost but there are positives to take into the WCQ.

WE MOVE!!

samtol4:
Three goalkeepers for Comoros won't be available. I hope the host country won't use covid 19 to win cup.

This thought came to my mind a few days ago, that what if all the three goalies test positive?

The kind thing wey coro dey cause sef.

Who go come Keep for Comoros now?

komekn:
Man to man on paper we are not comprehensively better than them.

The one area we are arguably better is in the goalkeeper department.

Apart from that everything else is up for debate.

We are better than the Ghanaians, both on paper, man to man, and collectively as a Team.

Their captain, Andre Ayew will even be missing due to the Red card he collected against the Comoros.

Yes, I know they will come out fighting but I trust Eguavoen, who understands the rivalry between the two teams, to fire the boys up. If the Ghanaian players are ready to die on the pitch, our boys should be ready to bury them.

komekn:
Come to Lekki even Ikeja I've met some that can't even speak Pidgin.

I met a few at university in England that left Nigeria but couldn't speak any Nigerian language.

However, you use the word man they are mostly youths .

Those are definitely kids and teenagers of this generation. I am talking about full grown men born in the 90s and beyond.

One of my friends and his wife are Yorubas but based outside of the SW. His children are learning Yoruba from the little my own kids understand from my wife that is Yoruba

jihday:
Peter is camera shy
why did Nwakali not speak Igbo
Taiwo’s Yoruba is very sharp, he suppose dey do nkanbe for radio

It is very hard to see a Yoruba man born and raised in Nigeria that cannot speak Yoruba. Infact I have never seen one.

On paper, not a bad draw for Nigeria. But Ghana? They always swallow cutlass and invite their ancestors when they want to play against Nigeria. They would want to die on that pitch. But I hope we will have Eguavoen as the coach so he can drum it to the boys the importance of that derby

PDPGuy:
The draw for the playoff (final) round of the African World Cup qualifiers takes place at 4pm Nigerian time today.

What team would you prefer be drawn vs the SE?

My choice is DR Congo

With our current form, bring any Team abeg.We no fear anybody again
