Cost of planks and carpenter work 480K+
Bought the New Zealand shingles @ N3000/sqm.
Total cost of roofing materials plus accessories: N1, 850, 000.
Labour for roofing:100K.

Total = N2.4M plus. That's y i said abt N2.5M

I'm with you on this.

Mikel's wealth of experience will bring stability to d midfield. His defence ability will be a plus against d sweds, columbians parading d likes of Ibra, James Rod. Of this world...

No room for any excuse from coach siasia. Our best legs just have to be on board enroute to Rio.

So experience still counts in football. And some peeps here are always down playing d place of "experience" in d structure of a team.

The stadium is on fire! Missiles flying every where. God protect ur people.

olapluto:
The ref just dey manufacture rules and yellow cards for Enyimba players. Shame.
The free kick for the goal was a blatant dive. Even at one point, the ref had to overrule the linesman when the cheating was too much against Enyimba.

U noticed it too. The ref jst dey vex for Enyimba. Iwould b suprised if Enyimba finishes with 11 players and no penalty awarded against them.

The atmosphere is so charged. Flames every where. I fear for the lives of the Enyimba contingents if ESS does nt pull off d result dey need.

Finally Half time.

80% of d game was played in around d Enyimba 18 yards box. Our goalie has been fantastic.

Ogenyi Onazi Wishes to Represent Nigeria at 2016 Olympics

April 19, 2016
Lazio midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, has admitted he would love to play for Nigeria at the Olympic Games in August this year.

The 23-year-old is desperate to be part of the Dream Team VI to the competition in Rio.

“I spoke with [the coach] and it will be another chance for me to represent my country to achieve something important, for my country and for myself as well. I will be glad to be part of the [Olympic] team,” Onazi told Goal.

Meanwhile, coach of the Nigerian team, Samson Siasia, has revealed that he has already made up his mind about the three over-aged players he will pick.

“I already have in mind the three over-age players that I intend using at the Games,” Siasia said.

Nigeria have been drawn against Sweden, Japan and Colombia in Group B.


http://www.thebreakingtimes.com/ogenyi-onazi-wishes-to-represent-nigeria-at-2016-olympics/

One of major reasons why I want Onazi in that team is he also belongs to the next generation. He is of same age bracket with the likes of Omeruo, Ajagun, Ndidi, Simon, Shehu Abdulahi, Ahmed Musa and co. If we see those ones as part of the new generation then Onazi who went through the youths system with them should be seen as such too.

I honestly, believe we dnt need Odion Ighalo in that Team. We can have the 3 over aged players from defense and midfield. My picks: Leon Balogun, Ogenyi Onazi and Victor Moses

Carlos Bacca, James Rodrigues, Juan Cuadrado and David Ospina have all separately shown interest to play for Colombia at Rio.

Siasia we need our best legs o.

Nigeria – China Currency Deal

The President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chinese President Xi Jinping, recently signed a bilateral currency agreement which was between the people’s Republic of China and Nigeria which also comes come with a lot of benefits to the two countries. China is a county that thrives on imports and production of cheap goods exported all over the world and also China accounts for over 70% of Nigeria’s total imports.

This deal, apart from its economic benefits, it also comes with billions of dollars in loans, infrastructural development, investment opportunities and job creation.

China once again has successfully won one of the biggest African market (Nigeria), no wonder it quickly made Nigeria its clearing house for Yuan denominated transaction for the whole of Africa. This has a lot of economic significance to Nigeria and Africa as a whole. It can simply be interpreted as Nigeria being the financial clearing house to any Yuan transaction in Africa.

China is currently showing the world that it has everything it takes to become the world power. This has always been their challenge with the United States of America who feels threatened by this. So listed below are the biggest winners and losers for this new deal.


Nigeria – China Currency Deal – The biggest winner

1. China : On the long run, the Yuan will become one of the most traded currency in the world overtaking the dollar. This is one of Chinas biggest goal. It will also pave way for more investment opportunities for China in Nigeria.

yuan naira

2. Nigeria : This will help foster strong economic and infrastructural growth to Nigeria, It will create more jobs, It will allow businessmen to easily carry out transactions between them and their counterparts in China. It will provide easy access to loans for Nigeria and Nigerian businesses from China.
3. Importers :- 70% of our imports are currently from China, with the new deal, this means our importers won’t have to first convert their money to dollar before buying in Yuan. Importers will have to deal directly with their buyers in Yuan. For example

If an importer is to buy a good from China worth 6467 Yuan. He will first need to change his naira to dollar. (N320,000=$1,000 ) then change the $1,000 dollars to Yuan which is 6467.00 . But if he decides to change to Naira directly then 1 Yuan is N30.80 naira x 6467 = 199,209.24 .

In the first Calculation he will be spending 320,000 – 199,204.24 = 120,796. In the first process , the importer will lose 120,796 just because of the currency conversion. But with this new deal importers will have a lot to save and we should also expect a reduction in the price of goods exported from China

Bureau De Change/Banks – it means more people will be changing naira to Yuan as compared to naira to dollar.

Sellers of China goods – There will be more people shipping and buying from China as compared to before, therefore it means there will be more money to be made. Companies can easily import raw materials to produce from China.

China Investors: This will provide easy access for China investors to easily penetrate the Nigerian market.

Dangote: This deal also paved way for Nigeria’s billionaire and the richest man in Africa Aliko Dangote, as he will be getting a wooping sun of 2 billion dollars for the construction of two cement plants.

Nigeria – China Currency Deal – The biggest losers

USA – The US is gradually losing its international market share to China, this is because China is gradually becoming more daring and eating deep into their market. China has succeeded in eating deep into their share of the market as a result of several deals with the United Kingdom, Russia, India, and many other countries.
IMF – The international monetary fund (IMF) has been wooing Nigeria to come take its loan which comes with several terms and conditions which some economist have said is not in the best interest of Nigeria but rather will make our economy worse than it is in the long run. Some also claimed most of the terms and conditions favours the western Countries more than it favours us.
The Opposition: The Nigerian opposition party has faulted so many claims in the recent deal with China, but China is bent to continue with the deal.

O you just made my day.

This is what our hopeless president and his mumu finance minister could not explain to us.

Oya, na made in China things all the way now.

TheGoodJoe:

“Jordon Ibe’s family informed me by a telephone call that he was giving priority to an England call-up. We wish them well,” Oliseh said on Twitter.

He has pledged his allegiance to England. Whether he is eligible or not does not matter. He rejected a Super Eagles call up because his heart is with England. So there is no need for his report here.

We wish him well.

That's all and lets move on to other talents.

Why report news on Jodorn Ibe and Angelo Obonna?

confun:
bro, remember d last u20, they won dir friendlies back to back, what happened at d end of d day....we all saw it, even if ds team beat barca, I won't be convinced until dey bring d cup home.

I for one never expected the 2015 Flying Eagles to go very far. And u saw where dey ended.

But there are things this Flying Eagles team has that most of the players of the last Flying Eagles never had: Exposure, maturity and experience.

What if the following players hu are eligible are invited by d coach and dey turn up: Chidera Ezeh, Taiwo Awoniyi, Sadiq Umar, Nura Abdulahi, Chidozie Awaziem, Sincere Seth, Azubuike Okechukwu, Ifeanyi Mathew, Musa Yahaya, Chigozie Obasi, Zaharadeen Bello. Then u include players from d 2015 U17: Kelechi Nwakali, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Orji Okonkwo, Funso Bamgboye, and co. Remember some players hu we dnt know abt yet Will impress in camp get selected. The starting 11 of this team would b so very competitive.

Look at this temporary starting line up for instance:

.................Udoh

Seth/Nura..Awaziem..Bello/Zakari..Anumudu?

..........Azubuike
...........................K.Nwakali

Chukwueze......Mathew.........Yahaya

............Osimhen/Sadiq

Even if there are no new inclusions, with d team as it is above we can go for d title.

Check out the 5 players in that midfield.

TheGoodJoe:
To add to what Icon4s said, there is more to winging than Sprinting down the touchline and whipping in a cross. Holding the ball on the wings and showing how good you are on the ball. Simon Moses and Victor Moses are guilty of these.

When you watch the likes of Finidi George, Emmanuel Amunike, these men brought more to the team than crosses and goals. They had the midfield touch and combined with their wing backs effortlessly.

Tijani Babangida later adapted and became a fantastic player. I guess it was the influence of Finidi, a man he studied for a long time (did not think of this until Icon4s pointed it out).

I earlier pointed out that Simon Moses should reinvent himself. Few coaches want players on the wing who can not contribute more to the team than the natural wing play.

Look at the likes of Neymar and Messi who play wide for Barca. Look at Silva, Nasri and De Bruyne who get to play wide for City. Look at Bale and CR7 at Real Madrid.

There was an improvement in Victor Moses play I'm our second game against Egypt. I was impressed with his touches and the way he dropped the ball for Amuzie to cross. That was unlike the Moses I know and I hope he keeps improving.

Aii, this wings play discussion has taken me back memory lane.

There was a boy then in our Ajegunle Team (U13) by name Ifeanyi Onuora aka oyibo. He was our first choice Right Winger. The coach then (coach Ibe) Usually introduced me in d second half to run ragged the defense of d opposing side. Ifeanyi hu was one yr my senior in secondary school later went on to play for Jigawa Golden stars while Taribo West, also in our team then, went to Julius Berger i think. While Taribo made d AYC team of 1993 Ify was never invited. Taribo then used to tell us say "hu b Tijani Babangida where oyibo(Ifeanyi Onuora) dey"?

James Peters was d Flying Eagles coach then. That was d team dat also produced JJ Okocha.

So many stars waste away in this country.

I stopped serious football after U13. Science student things.

Sir TheGoodJoe, u see what I told you about Onazi?

A new coach and he is back in the starting line-up even scoring.

U dnt relegate a player just bc he has nt seen much football action for a couple of weeks or few months due mostly to new coaching staff.
We know Onazi's capability. He is still our best DMF.

Petrobros:
So who are/were those wingers?

Pius Ikedia, John Owoeri, Solomon Okoronkwo, Mohammed Manga. Tijani Babagida started like that but because he had a winger like Finidi George to learn from in the Team he improved on that. Ahmed Musa has little of it just that he is not much skillfull so rather than face the opposing defender he attempts a premature cross-in.

How do they play? They take on opponents one-on-one trying to out run and dribble them at the same time. They are usually skillful and full of pace but when they draggle/struggle their into danger areas they would have run out of steam and usually the CF would be running from behind to meet up with the anticipated cross.

They play with their heads down. Something we used to call Okada those players. I was natural Right Wing Forward. Them no dey catch my back those days o. Na " on the run we dey call am".

Football has improved from that.

It is almost certain that Isaac Success will not make the Olympics..... Siasia WHY?

Simon Moses style of play doesn't fascinate me, I'll rather not take him.... am objective

How about my boy Chidera Eze isnt he good enough for the olympics?.. He is making steady progress at Porto... It been clear right from the U15 tourney he is meant for elite football... Would not mind having him instead of Moses.... now thats sentiments

Chidera Ezeh ahead of Simon Moses? No naaa..
Talking about the way Simon Moses players, his style of play is more suitable to youth competitions. I know a couple of old Nigerian wingers that played the way Simon plays at youth level but when they got to the senior level they became average and later dropped.
Watch the way Iwobi plays from the wings, its very different from how Simon plays it. Iwobi is a more efficient modern winger than Simon.
Simon's style is more tilted towards Victor Moses' style of play.

Besides, Siasia prefers using natural wingers instead of converting Strikers to wingers. This is a major reason I feel a player like Stanley Dimgba stands a better chance than Isaac Success or Imoh Ezekiel.
