israelmao:
Wizkid,Davido and the likes are in their 20's

There are always exceptions to every rule or theory.


Show me one Davido or a Wizkid and I will show you 20million financially unstable men in their 20s

True to a very large extent. Lets say 99.5%

Behold the New Enyimba International Stadium.


Enyimba….the only Truly Professional Club in Nigeria.

Giwa's Lawyer says: "Nothing has changed"

These people like Wahala sha.

That Giwa is a Devil: He never gives up.

AIG07:
Me de one side,waiting for the Minister's reaction to the new development.

Who knows, they might be heading straight to the white house.


Amaju be like see these two mumu...

No worries, Trump will be waiting for them with this ''kondo'' in his hand. I trust oga Trump naaa. No nonsense man.

AIG07:
I am not surprised. This is what is expected when Square pegs are inserted in round holes.

I like that your meme.

That was the exact state I was, when our female U-20 coach Danjuma was trying to teach Nnadozie(Gk) how to take Goal Kick.

HHe was shouting at the top of his voice. "Bend small before you shoot." I just use my hand cover my face...

So much unprofessionalism in the way we handle things here.

Dalung and his cohort wan carry Giwa (a person serving 5 years FIFA ban) go do meeting with FIFA like se na political meeting de wan do...

I can't imagine how they'll go about it.
Maybe something like this...

*Dalung Arriving FIFA sectariat*

Dalung(knocks)
Security personnel: Hi,
Dalung: Hey, come here.
SP: How may we help you?
Dalung: Don't you know me? I am the minister of sports of the largest black nation in the world - Nigeria. A sovereign nation!
SP: Okay.
DalunG: We want to see the FIFA'S PRESIDENT.
Giwa: (whispering to Dalung) let's enter joor.
DA lung signals to Giwa to be calm.
GGiwa: rushes forward, pushes both the SP and Dalung aside making way for the door.... He does so shouting WE WANT JUSTICE! AMAJU OUT!!!...


Awon Olodo!

You this guy eh. No let me piss for here o

AIG07:
One day, FIFA will be tired of our Wahala and they will ban us without giving us any ultimatum.

E be like se na only we de FIFA.

Honestly, shame dey even catch me for Nigeria as I dey here so.

tbaba1234:
Fews hours to the ban, this man was still saying rubbish.

God...... what have we done wrong for you to keep punishing us with people like these as leaders.

Okocha is not there. Mtcheew, fake list.

tbaba1234,


There is this guy that plays for Enyimba, or is it Enugu rangers.... I no longer know.

He scored double Hatrick in a match, what is his name and his whereabout.

Do u know him!!!

What year was it?

Could it be Chikeluba Ofoedu? He played for Rangers.

Throw Back Video. Look out for that kid in the number 9 Jersey.

tbaba1234:
Dalung should be fired.

Seconded!


He does not even behave like someone who is educated.

tbaba1234:
Athletico Madrid second team that was on vacation. Athletico scored whenever they raised their level a bit. Do not read too much into that game. Nwakali, the stand out player is now playing for Porto B in the second division of Portugal and in two games, he has not shown anything.

I just dey look two of them. Especially him wey say him follow African football pass everybody.

andrew444:
Nigeria escapes FIFA hammer,accepts pinnick as Nff boss,saw the news at goal.com

Thanks, mentioned here already.

Useless government. After they have embarrassed themselves before just an international football body

tbaba1234:
Looks like, there will be no ban.

According to Colin Udoh, the federal government have written to FIFA agreeing to their demands. So Giwa is gone.

"Nigeria’s Federal Government wrote to FIFA on Saturday agreeing, amongst other things, to allow football to be run on FIFA Statutes and to expedite passage of NFF Bill. Giwa? Toast"

Dalung consoling Giwa as the News comes through

Earthquake1:
Buhari doesn't sack his cohorts that's why he is still there

For people like Adeosun, IGP and Dalung to still be in government is a testament to that man's dullardness

I totally wrote that Dalung off after that his shockingly embarrassing "United State of Nigeria" episode with the Siasia's Olympic team.

That man has no business heading any ministry in Nigeria. It is a shame.

Enyimba is the only truly professional Club in Nigeria.
If you no gree, I dey my house. Come beat me.

TheSuperNerd:
Joined via free transfer from Gil Vicente but already the toast of the fans. Been following the lad since I spotted his move to Zaragoza. He is just one of many I keep following and trying to keep close tabs on.

Even a young Nigerian forward named Taofiq Jibril debuted in the Portuguese top flight for Portimonense and he only joined them this summer from Vila Real also in Portugal.

Dem boku no be small. Even Adeleke made his debut for IK Start. I hope he convinces and leave that league abeg to a better one within the top 6 of Europe.

A certain Simon Ayo Okosun is also on my radar (I am certain you have also heard of him). Joined Midtjylland just this season but already a mainstay in their lineups. He is versatile as he plays CM, RW and recently started as A CF in their last game. Dude isso mightily tall (stands at 1.97m) and is Danish by nationality but still available for Nigeria. Sadly, his time won't come now as We have plethora of quality options in better leagues too. But his time may yet come... He is still just 25. But shaa... Time will tell.

Been (and still) keeping tabs on so many more like these... Prospects, uncapped or capped.. talented FBs.. and more... Just still occupied to come share them but I trust You and Chriskels are doing just enough. Alongside Charlesemeka85 too.

Honestly, this was a wonderful weekend for Nigerian Football. So happy seeing our Super Eagles players doing their thing and showing their stuff all around Europe especially within the Big 6 leagues.
I can't wait to see Rohr's first post-Russia Team list for the Seychelles game. Something good is coming for our Super Eagles... The Dawn is close.

Hopefully, no ban news spoils this.

Good insight.

But let me pick on something. You said the dawn is close? Hahaha, I thought it has dawned already since like over 2 years ago? Why the postponement again?You don't trust the last dawn again?

tbaba1234:
James Igbekeme of Real Zaragoza, One to keep an eye on.

How old is he?

ChrisKels:
Our ban starts tomorrow guys, brace up for the heart break.

The ban starts from after tomorrow. That is if the issue is not resolved by tomorrow.

Kog45:
Chief NFF matter abi!

Pls forger those guys in the glass house o.They don't care about the growth of the game inclusive Amaju Pinnick but their political careers and money.

Chelsea 3-Arsenal 2 abi.Those misses don't count Chief o.

Abi Chelsea so i need to troll my Chief

Happy Sunday.

Hahaha, Egbon.......enjoy your victory we dey come for you later.

krattoss:
off topic

Any one with any help or antidote to curb over excitement..

wanna learn to move in silence especially when something big comes my way.. But i always feel it's a big load Burgin me until I spill it out to few of my folks..

Since nairaland lacks psychotherapists section like reddit and Co.. (tried navigating through reddit many times but always gets lost).
I feel like this is the best section out of many threads and sections I follow to spill out one of my darkest flaws.. {thank God it's a faceless forum).

So anyone with any advice to offer?

There is nothing abnormal in this.

You achieve success and you always feel like blowing it open right?

You always feel like sharing the good News.

But may I ask if you are married? If you are married and still blow the News of your personal success well I will say that is where there is an issue.

But if you are not married then that is normal. Solution to this may be to get married so you can get a confidant.

Over all, solution to this is seeing a bigger picture about your successes. Ie knowing your final destination and believing that each success you achieve is just a small step or milestone towards achieving the bigger picture. Trivialise each milestone you achieve yet be thankful to God. Then push towards achieving the next milestone.

My brother when the time comes you don't even need to blow open your success story by yourself, everyone will see it.

BascoVanVeli:
But that should not be a criteria for running. It should be open to the public.

I have already spelt out what Article 12 of the NFF electoral law says.

godspeed:
How is football being run in communist countries like China and North Korea without government interference ?

Hahaha, this one hard o. But just like in the case of most African countries where government is responsible for most part of the funding and FIFA allows it, I think same goes for the communist nations.

BascoVanVeli:
That is government interference in the purest form. That is not how FIFA is ran any Nigerian citizen of upstanding character should be allowed to run for the post.
They are closing the door on our ex internationals with this.

That is not how FIFA is run but that is how most FA's of African countries are run. They depend mostly on government funding.

Joebie:
He can put in crosses though. Cutting in, he is lethal.

That seems to be what the coach wants from him.

The boy always does well against Chelsea.

Joebie:
Na wa Arsenal just dey miss miss

Could have easily been 4 or 5-2

ChrisKels:
Who else is seeing the golden boy of Nigerian football in this North London derby?

The boy is destroying Chelsea. Who says Iwobi is not effective from the wings again?

What is it with all theses misses self?

Goaaallll Iwobi!
