Useless post.

the poor boy copy the name of my street..

osime

Osime street where?
I know one Osime street in Sari Iganmu, Lagos.

There are so many great stories in the Old testament Bible. And my favorite is David Vs Goliath!
One of the great wonders of our God.

Which is your favorite?

NRIPRIEST:
Okonkwo in for Osimehin as we approach the final minute.

Which one b Osimehin u don dey mention since abi u wan turn him to Yoruba ni?
His name is OSIMHEN.

AIG07:
u're right sir. the last sets were d best we've had in recent history. Seeing this team play makes me appreciate what Garba did in discovering world beaters... I hope this team proves us wrong.

They may nt b as smashing as d last set bt they are still good enough to challenge for the title. They may nt b as fast or as counter attacking like the last set bt i saw maturity, composure, good passing abilities and great team work. They also lack an Iheanacho kind of attacking midfielder.

The USA presented a descent team anyways.

2-0 ! Osimhen

Opeoo goal from goal mouth scramble

That was nt a goal mouth tussle my friend.

GOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

Danycrusoe:
Am Not Saying Its A Bad Thing To Win The Competition But Most Of The Time When We Focus On Winning And We Fail To Win We Feel There Are No Talents In The Team Hence Their Failure, So They Are Discardee Without Looking For The Prospect And Potentials In The Team. Good Examples are The 2005,2011 u17 Teams

No body is saying we wont recognise and develop talents if they dnt win d WC. After all Mikel & Ogbuke's class of 2003 crashed out at d group stage.
However, for this U17 we are aiming at winning and dicovering talents.

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahaha......... Thumbs up Jooor!

Well said Sir! *smiles*

#looksAround# **thanks goodness.... Oga Gbosaa is not in sight....**

Discovery of talents is definitely always on the cards after all the class of 2005(lost out in the first rd.) Produced the likes of Mikel Obi, Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi and co........... BUT WE ALSO NEED THE CUP ANYTIME...... We don't mind at all..... England should go take a backseat.

**smiles**

I know u meant Mikel and Ogbuke belong to d class of 2003 since we are talking U17.

BALLERON:
Buy

Pls name ur price.

Danycrusoe:
I Saw The Words Of The English U-17 Coach Today On Goal, And What I Realized Was That Those Guys Dont Take Winning The Cadet Championship Serious Rather TheY See It As An Avenue To Train And Prepare Those Young Lads Gain Experience In Preparing Them For The Future. Thankfully Nigeria Is Starting To Share The Same View

It is simply because they know they cant win it. More serious contenders like Nigeria , Brazil and Argentina cannot make such a comment. What is wrong in winning d Cup and also descovering talents. For the Nigerian team the only way we will appreciate d talent in d team is for them to win it. We have a set standard. 4time winners no b beans.

Mcowubaba:
Sincerely i don't really knw who is Yvonne Nelson.....i just used to hear her name atimes...
I have never watched her film......

Same here. Even seeing her pix here doesn't still ring a bell.

I never knew she was even Ghananian.
There is still another one called Yvonne Okoro abi.

Belgian-Born Striker Awelewa Eyes Falconets Call-Up
[/size]
https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG-20150908-WA001.jpg
By Johnny Edward:
SK Herkenrode Nigerian striker, Valerie ​​Awelewa, is eager to follow in the footsteps of Courtney Dike to represent Nigeria at U-20 level with the Falconets.
The Belgian-born 18-year-old forward who is currently the top scorer in the lower-tier Belgian Women’s League with 14 goals in five matches told Compl etesportnigeria.com she prefers playing for Nigeria rather than Belgium.
Awelewa emerged top scorer in the Belgian women’s league last season with 32 goals and is eager to get a chance to prove her mettle in Peter Devdebo’s Falconets squad who recently qualified for the final round of the African qualifying series for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
“I’ve always dreamed about playing for Nigeria,” Awelewa said. “I never really thought about playing for Belgium. I consider Nigeria as my country and I would like to do something for my count​r​y and that is playing there.”
She also admitted that Liverpool Ladies forward Asisat Oshoala remains one of her best stars in the Super Falcons.
“I admire Asisat Oshoala because I like her playing style. She scores nice goals and is hungry for the ball,” she told Comple tesportsnigeria.com.
Awelewa, who missed out on a chance to sign to Jupiler side Anderlecht this summer, was also in the Super Eagles camp in Brussels to meet the team.
She added: “It was really nice. I loved how some players were really friendly as well as the officials. To be honest I didn’t expect that. This really motivated me more to play for Nigeria.”

Could this b another Courtney Dikeh. Belgian female football is nt among d best in Europe bt lets give this girl a trial. Who knows....

forgiveness:
Leon has played as a center defender, left back and right back on many ocassion for his german clubs. It was resently Mainz played him mostly on the right back.

Daniel Adejo is the best option on the right back. he can also play as center defender. He gained experience from the Italian serie b league.

Gbenge Arokoyo is also a good center defender. he has more playing time than some these our players.

Odubanjo is a utility player. He is a conventional right back winger and he can also play anywhere across the back line. This boy got talent. He can even play as a mildfielder.


I think these player should be considered first before those aftermentioned players

Bros, Leon Balogun naturally plays right back though his club occassionally features him in other positions due to his versatility. 2 yrs back he was rated as d 5th best right back at d Bundesliga.

I know those guys u mentioned. Adejo and Arokoyo are ex-Flying Eagles players. They are still U23, so let them go and fight for positions in d Siasia's team. The least thing we need now is to throw in too many young players into dat defence at once. We need a consistent back four dat will play so many matched together and understand each other jst like in d 94 Class.

am about to resume.... with a GP of 3.4 is there hope for me (200L)

Is that CGPA after ur 200L? If yes u are close to 2:1. Jst dnt score less than GPA of 4.0 in ur yr 3 and u find ur self in 2:1.If it is after 100L better still.U are on course jst work a little harder.

My CGPA after 100L was 3.41.At end of 200L it had risen to 3.7+. I had 4.2 & 4.4 in my 1st ånd 2nd semester 200L respectively. And for 300 & 400 Level I jst worked to maintain my 2:1. My least GPA in any semester from 300 to 400L was 3.58 which was 300L first semester.My final CGPA was arnd 3.8 as my 400L GPA was above 4.0.

I loved dat CGPA game.

joseph1013:
[b]That's not a very sound argument. You cannot be 100% sure of anybody you're inviting to the National team. Even Iheanacho that I am such a big fan of. You call a player up based on his club performances and hope he performs for his country. That's what Coaches do all over the world.

How is Martins aging fast? Are you a member of his family? Do his games you watch show that he is aging fast? Has his level dropped?

Since you are building for the future, why not just stick to U23 players? No need for Emenike or Mikel or even Carl. And stop comparing apples and oranges, Chinese and MLS are not synonymous.

Also, speak for yourself, don't say EVERYBODY wants something when you have not done the survey. There are many people clamouring for Martins to be invited. Christian Chukwu and Tunde Disu are popular coaches who have being in the news making valid arguments as to why Martins should be considered. Solace Chukwu and Jide Alaka are popular sports journalists that still think Martins' performances in the MLS justify a National call up.

Lastly, Obafemi Martins is not a rookie. Saying he is a rookie must be a big joke.[/b]

If Martins deserves a call up then d likes of Yakubu deserves a call up too.Simple.After all Yakubu has a better scoring record than Martins. So based on ur argument Yakubu too deserves a call up. Including Osaze.

They want to destroy this one's career too jst like dey did to Andre Chevchenko, Fernando Torres, Mohammed Salah, Demba Ba, Loic Remy, Quadrado and co.

safarigirl:
Leon is better as a CD

U conclude this jst from 1 match?
Well Leon has been playing as right back in d Bundesliga for years.He has been playing as right back ever since his debute in d Super Eagles. He May jst also know how to play centre back not dat he is better as a Centre Back. The absence of Omeruo and Obaobona was reponsible for him playing centre back. We need him more at right back while Oliseh chose a centre back combination between Ambrose, Obaobona, Troost-Ekong and Omeruo. I would personally prefare d Ambrose-Omeruo CB combination. While Troost-Ekong and Obaobona can deputise for d duo nt also forgetting Ndidi hu I still feel needs more playing time at club level and mayb d Olympic tourney to b able to fight for a centre back position. Or mayb Oliseh wants to convert him to a Defensive Midfielder jst like against Cameroun.

lexyman:
Infact when I read that phrase , I just smiled . U drag that argument for days . In other words come and finish what u ve started ..... drag u to the under23 thread .

Wetin person no see or hear bc of that talk. Well, I guess d onions is left on Iheanacho to meet up with the very high expectation placed on him.

Lets see him bcome d Ronaldo or Messi pple say he Will bcome or is already. " Is already" bc they dnt want to hear " is nt there yet".

Eagles: We’re not there yet, says Pinnick
[/size]
The Nigeria Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick has said that he was impressed with the Super Eagles’ performance against Cameroon in Belgium on Sunday.
The Sunday Oliseh-led team spanked the Indomitable Lions 3-0, a revival of their disappointing outing Thursday.
[img]http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/pinnick-wants-eagles-re-enact-2001-spirit-sudan/pinnick-2/[/img]
Pinnick
Efe Ambrose gave Nigeria the first goal through a set piece from Mikel Obi, while Moses Simon drove in from the flank to make it two for the three time AFCON champions.
Watford’s striker, Jude Odion Ighalo came in as a substitute and headed in the third goal for Nigeria.
“I must say that I am very impressed with the performance of the Eagles. It was a good game,” Pinnick said after the match in Belgium.
“I am sure Nigerians were impressed with what they saw. But we have not got there yet, there are still some areas that we need to touch but we should all keep supporting the team because the coach seems to have a clear direction of where he is going to.
“He is still building a team. And he knows who to add to the team because we do not have a say on who he invites to the team.”
Pinnick said Efe Ambrose’s opening goal – a header off a Mikel free kick – was straight from the training ground.
“All the goals no one was a fluke. Fortunately all the training sessions that I watched, like the first goal Efe Ambrose got, I saw them do that over and over again,” he said.
Oliseh will now switch attention to the CHAN qualifier against Burkina Faso on Sunday in Port Harcourt, where the home-based Eagles have been training since last week.

Watch "The Phrase not there yet"
CC:Icon4s, Icon4ss, Joseph1013, TheSuperNerd, Safarigirl, Thegoodjoe, Adeyemi2015, Bascovanveli, etc.
Don't your think the Icon4s we have been arguing with, over the expression above is not Sir Icon4ss

Icon4s = icon4ss. I use icon4ss when icon4s is on ban.

Yes we are nt there yet. A phrase that almost made safarigirl, thegoodjoe, theupernerd, bascovanvelli and co break my head.

I guess Iheanacho is d only player that is there already.

One month contract? What department was it and how was the experience then, though 2005 was a good year in banking....Before the credit crunch....

Yeah, 1 month contract.Jst 2months after NYSC. U know at dat stage any thing goes.
I was in customer care unit.Abt 30 of us then were recruited in Lagos to assist d Customer care staff in d different branches to fast-track d convertion of former CapitalBank and MarinaBank Customers' accounts to Accessbank and Issue of New AccessBank cash books, after Accessbank acquired both banks ahead of the December 31st, 2005 N25 Billion Minimum capital base deadline.

We worked like jakky. No b small. I hated Banking work ever since. Besides I was then a Fresh Geology graduate and nt cut out for a monotonous tedious job like dat.

Breadfruit:
Hello all.

I don't think there is a thread like this at the moment.
I am a banker, a marketer.

We all know it hasn't been a walk in the park for the banking industry in recent times-job loss, the gruelling schedule, the politics. the killing targets, manipulative colleagues, the economy and so on.

For current bankers, how do you survive as a banker and keep your head above water?

For ex bankers, how is life outside banking? Did you quit? Were you pulled out by the lure of another job or were you sacked?

Soon to be bankers, how prepared are you for the banking life?

Personally, as a marketer, it's not funny. I guess that's why people say bankers are stingy, as money is not made as easily as a civil servant would for example. So someone like me is as careful as can be when it comes to money.

Please let us all interact as adults.

I was with ACCESS Bank from 1-30 November 2005. It was a 1month contract. I landed an Oil Servicing job 1month after I left.

Hi,

I will finish school very soon, and I think the best advice is to prepare early enough for what is ahead. So, I humbly beg you and anyone who is reading this, to please help me with your GMAT and other TEST materials for job hunting.

my email is: tolution@outlook.com

As you do so may your GOD enlarge your coast bountifully

These materials are available at bookshops and NYSC camps.

Mannylex:
I agree with you OP. Funny thing is I passed out same day with you July 2nd 2015.... During the course of my service year, I always had same reasoning that you needed connections to get jobs, good jobs in Nigeria, but i was wrong. A week after completion of NYSC, I had test invites left and right. I was successful in all and in less than 3 weeks I attended several interviews, did medicals then later attended training school. I had several offers staring me in the face and here I am, without any connection resumed work within a space of 1 month after nysc. Truth is connections help, but you can get jobs without it if you plan early. I started applying for jobs and practicing gmat and shl immediately I began NYSC. Its good to have some sort of fear though, it spurs you to go the extra mile.



By the way some of the jobs I applied for and test/interview hints came via Nairaland. I appreciate this site.

God bless you. U have said it all.

Sia1 should not waste time to put Moses Simon on this list for the Olympic qualifier , the guy has got what it' takes to unlock any stubborn defense .

He is already part of Siasia's plans. But most clubs will hardly release their players for d qualifiers more so dat Moses is even in d champions league with Gent. I jst pray Nigeria qualifies for the Olympics. We have d prospect of assemblying a very good team for the olympics.
