Hope you were not waiting for when I'll get tired and offer it to you for ₦4.5m
Next one will be even higher than ₦7.8m instead, don't get your hopes up
I was never waiting for any price reduction. I was only expressing disappointment that a 2006 Highlander could go for N7.8m. A very that was less than N3m not long ago.
Such is the level of devastation caused by the fallen naira.
The all African Games have moved from its Africa's own Olympics status to Africa's interhouse sports.
I remember the 1980s, 90s and even up till Abuja 2003, the publicity was Topnotch. The football event was for U23s and hence used to prepare teams for Olympic football. I remember then, when Nigeria used to parade an all home based U23 from where a few of them would be picked to join the main U23 team. I don't even know why it is now for the U20s.
Then we watched all football games of the All African Games live! Including other major events like Athletics, and boxing. I remember Mary Onyali severally Crowned the Queen of the Tracks in Africa. We typically waited for the Athletics event to start for Nigeria to close up the medals gap with Egypt and South Africa.
Overall an excellent AFCON outing. For me I had an open mind going into that final game and already prepared for a defeat in case it comes.
Prio to commencement of the tourney I am not sure up to 10% of us here could have predicted we will get to the Semis let alone the final.
The team gave all they have, you cannot give what you don't have. Playing against a host team in a Cup final is not an easy fit. This is Cote D' Ivoire we just played in Abidjan.
Let's just take the positives and continue to build.
Peseiro needs to scout for more midfielders and inject them into the team while also reducing the number of defenders. Thank God we now finally have a goalie, which is one of the major positives of this AFCON outing.
We can build from here as we push towards world cup qualification. 2026 World Cup is just by the corner . Core of this team will still be available then, if we qualify.
Arise oh compatriots!!! Nigeria's call obey... To serve our father land!!! With love and strength and faith... The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain... To serve with heart and might!!! One nation bound in freedom... Peace and Unity....
lovewins: I think you mean Etim and I mentioned this weeks ago when the list was released. It makes no sense. Those who write ages for these players should try and be responsible small na. The problem now is she'll have spent the years she's supposed to compete with her peers in developmental stages and won't cope by the time she's supposed to translate same at the senior level.
She probably featured in the last U17 as a 15yrs old. Players repeating class is very common in our women football. If you recall, likes of Azizat Oshoala played the U20 twice. Even Desire Oparanozie played U17 twice. Just to mention a few.
Mujtahida: Cool down my man. I no dey dig post. I no even sabi do am. I say you predict. If you no predict, tell me. Person dey make mistake. But you just want peg am on me say I lie. Oya I lie. Use am fry akara chop😜
Oya leave talk. Enjoy this tactical analysis from banku boys.
Excellent! I am yet to see any Nigerian TV analyst with this in-depth knowledge of the way this Nigeria team is set-up. Peseiro has really done well for this team
TheSuperNerd: Drop Zaidu and we will lose the speed and swift positional recovery of that LWB role. No one faster on the team than Zaidu on that left wing.
Offensively, he is suspect but his forays forward (overlaps), his defending, his underlaps, power and speedy recovery makes him key to this 343.
Icon4s: Egbon, we know you have followed Nigerian National team for so long to understand that we don't usually do well in friendlies leading to major tournaments. The result against Guinea has not changed my expectations for this team. It is not about blind patriotism. Forget about the recent set-backs, we know what this team is capable of.
Going back to this post just after we lost that friendly to Guinea. Now seems like a long time ago now
