safarigirl: you are disappointed in what? Is this the first time you are seeing this scenario being played out on this thread? Has it not happened to me countless times? Why the f-uck are you being a baby about it?
Is it because they dragged your mother into it? Did I not call Piet out for that? Did I not even quote Chris to say you were right about someone supporting the attacks of your mother? And you said you don't give a hoot, na me you talk that one to. Me wey don dey support you for this thread both in reasonable and unreasonable arguments, I talked to you and you threw my opinion in the trash.
Supernerd, shut up! If it's sympathy you are looking for or you are waiting for someone to tell you sorry, it will not happen. You have lost all rights to an apology with this trash you wrote and by your actions.
I am the most disappointed in you and I don't care if you give a hoot or not, but I want you to know that I am ashamed of your behavior and I hope you think on it and change your ways. For me to be telling you that, you can imagine how low you have gone.
Nobody will give a shiiit about your John Hopkins degree or educational qualifications if you can't even see past your nose. You no do well at all, and if nobody else has it in them to tell you, I will not mince words Haba Nwanne e don do naa. I know say na you his attitude pain pass.

safarigirl: where were these words of wisdom yesterday?
I am mostly pissed off at everyone who said nothing while someone's mama was being called out. I was the one who had to cone here and report all of Pietrico's posts that insulted someone's mother. Was I the first person to see those posts?
No, there were two pages ahead when I came upon those posts, so, where the hell was everyone else when Pietrico was crossing lines and how come nobody thought to say something? It's now that words of wisdom are flying everywhere.
Someone has threatened to kill me on this thread, did I go and open a new thread?
And then Supernerd that I asked to calm down was going all batshit crazy on me for calling out his error. Had the guts to tell me he doesn't give a hoot my opinion,I was so pissed at that, me that has received insults here told him to stop and he just shoved me aside. If he had given a hoot and stopped being a kid, maybe nobody would have brought his mother up. My own mother has been insulted on Nairaland multiple times and she's dead, did anybody speak up?
There is this thing people say, that when you start insulting someone, you cannot dictate where he hits you.
We will not all react the same way to insults and while some people have limits, others do not. So, the next time anyone wants to throw insults, remember that. Are there any kids here that we will always caution every time? How many times have you sounded it here that the best way out of situations like this is to know when to stop, back out and move on? |

Dedebanky85: With the level CAF is tying to set for AFCON, only uyo, adokie amesiamaka in PH, Abuja, and teslim would qualify. If they decide to renovate National stadium in Lagos it could also meet the standard. Those Enugu, Calabar, Is no stadiums are too archaic. Teslim Balogun pitch is not acceptable by AFCON standards. it is astro-turf. |

Did you see the Ghana premier league when it was still on supersports? The stadiums were apologies.

Kog45: Attention to u gurus in d house, just saw another thread by SuperNerd tagged d rise of Nigeria next's golden generation ..... ..... .....
Honestly am not against d thread,good to have different threads on Nigeria football but my concerns was i w not be happy if what am thinking was what led to d creation of d thread (disagreemens here)if it's, then what do we say about forgiveness who people tagged tribal for expressing his opinions.
I hope SuperNerd comes back.According to Michael2, nobody is irreplaceable but we need a great bond here irrespective where we all come from and make things work.
Pls henceforth no matter d provocation, don't let us descend so low and attack our parents,is nauseating and absurd.
CC:guys in d house My brother I understand perfectly the angle from which you are looking at it. But the thing is we are all adults here. Also we are all young men and women. I don't think any of us here is above 50years old. It means we are all youths and things like these are expected where young people come together to discuss. I must honestly commend forumites here on how we have managed to conduct ourselves all these years here. We have disagreed and agreed over a million issues here. Some of us have formed permanent allies and some have become permanent enemies. Insults keep wearing it's ugly head sporadically and with time we calm down and then move on. We have called ourselves names here: hater, tribalist, conservatist, Babylonian, anti-foreign born, non-patriotic, etc but never has anybody's mother or father been insulted here. No matter what the grievance is it is not worth the mention of our parents for insults. Now I don't care whether TheSuperNerd started the insults or not, he has every right to feel the way he feels. On the issue of he opening a new thread, whether it be as a fall out of what happened yesterday or not, nairaland is a free place where you chose to visit or create any thread you so chose or not. If he chooses to only post on the thread he has created and not here so be it. And if you chose to visit his thread or not the choice is yours. But one thing I know is nature has a way of settling things out and this one will not be different. |

zuchyblink: the whole North African countries, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia and Angola can afford it Take out Ghana and Zambia. And from the North African list take out Libya and Sudan. How many are left? Nigeria will also struggle to put together 6 AFCON standard stadiums. CAF should consider AFCON once in 4 years as this will give enough time to the hosting countries to put together their facilities and also increase the excitement, expectations and glamour. Alternatively co-hosting option can be considered. Consequently the WC qualifiers can be expanded to accommodate almost all the CAF nations in a bid to keep them busy as they wait for the AFCON every 4 years. This is how it is done in Europe and South America. |

BascoVanVeli: Kenya will no longer host next year’s CHAN, CAF invite fresh bids
By admin - September 23, 2017, 8:19 pm
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have ruled that Kenya will no longer stage next year’s CHAN and have now called for fresh bids beginning tomorrow.
This decision followed a CAF executive committee meeting in Accra, Ghana, today.
A communiqué after the meeting said due to several delays CAF have decided to move the competition from the East African country.
The continental football governing body has therefore called for fresh bids from interested countries within the next week after which a decision will be taen on the new hosts for the tournament.
Morocco, who CAF confirmed will bid for the 2026 World Cup, are understood to be the front runners to now host the 16-team championship in January.
Nigeria are one of the qualifiers for this tournament.
As for AFCON 2019 in Cameroon, CAF are to appoint an audit firm that will inspect the facilities proposed to host the championship, which has now been expanded to feature 24 teams against the earlier 16 teams.
Morocco are also regarded as a last-minute hosts for this competition and their hosting of two major competitions in straight years could only boost their chances of hosting a 48-team World Cup in 2026.
http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/09/23/kenya-will-no-longer-host-next-years-chan-caf-invite-fresh-bids/ I am really having doubts over Cameroon's ability to host the 24 teams 2019 AFCON as this will require at least 6 match venues. And if CAF wants to be hosting the 24 teams AFCON every two years it will get to a point where they would be searching for hosts. Tell me how many African countries that can produce 6 standard match venues. Except if they can consider the co-hosting strategy. |

solonnachi: The Zambian's think that talk is CHEAP They think they've sown and now time REAP But when the Super Eagles pile goals on them like HEAP They'll take to their feet, run and LEAP!!! One thing I discovered about the Zambian fans: They easily raise shoulders when they think they have an opportunity but they are also easily deflated and withdrawn back into their shells. You needed to see them on kickoff the year they won the AFCON and how quickly they withdrew into their shells when they had a disastrous outing in the subsequent AFCON. |

International friendly Who were the opponent? The only friendly I recall Zambia played in Europe was against Ghana in London where they only had 9 players in camp and had to scout for Zambians any where in London to come and play only for 3 Zambian students to show up and made the team. Ghana beat them either 3 or 4 nil can't remember the exact score line. |

edi287: Tammy Abraham: Striker commits to England amidst reports of Nigeria switch 21 September 2017 Football
Image copyrightHUW EVANS PICTURE AGENCY
Image captionTammy Abraham has scored twice in seven appearances for Swansea
Striker Tammy Abraham has stated his desire to have an international career with England following reports of interest from Nigeria.
London-born Abraham, on loan at Swansea from Chelsea, has played for England Under-21s but has a Nigerian father.
And the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) were thought to be keen to recruit the 19-year-old.
However, Abraham said: "I have informed The FA that I remain available for selection for England."
He continued: "Contrary to reports in the media I would like to clarify that I have not agreed to switch my national team allegiance.
"I can confirm I met the President of the NFF after our last game against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday given he is a friend of my father.
"However, any suggestion that I have made a decision to change my international representation is incorrect and wide of the mark."
His words will be welcomed by Swansea boss Paul Clement, who believes he would be better off remaining with England.
"Hopefully he stays with the English national team," Clement said.
"I'm not sure if he'd be better off career-wise - I'm saying it because I'm English and he's a good English talent, so you want him involved in the national team.
Nigeria keen to lure Abraham from EnglandHolders Man Utd drawn away to SwanseaCardiff pedigree strengthens Euro bid
"From my point of view, there will be no influence from me.
"If he wants to ask for advice, of course I'll be there to do it, but I'm sure, between him and his family, he'll make the right decision."
NFF President Amaju Pinnick says that after a meeting with Abraham and his agent "all is looking good" for him to play for Nigeria.
Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses, Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi and Reading striker Sone Aluko are among those to have represented England at youth level before switching to play senior international football for Nigeria.
Two goals in seven Swans games
Abraham joined Swansea from Chelsea on a season-long loan in the summer and has scored two goals in seven appearances for the Welsh club.
"I haven't spoken to him about that [interest from Nigeria]. I will ask him at some point, but I've got more pressing issues to deal with at the moment than that," said Clement.
"Ultimately it's the decision of the player. In some cases they'll make the choice because they see a better opportunity, a chance of playing more regularly at international level.
"In other cases, it's because it's where they believe they're from, representing the country where they were born or where their parents were born and it's in their culture.
"Whatever their reasons are, it's down to the player to decide."
