Sports › Re: Flying Eagles of Nigeria Thread: U-20 World Cup (New Zealand 2015) by Icon4s(m): 8:58am On May 23, 2015
tbaba1234:
The travel plan of the flying eagles is a complete disaster. It takes people days to completely be normal after a long flight like that and the time difference. Why are we traveling to the region so close to the tournament. If they do not play well in the first game. it could be as a result of Jetlag. Personally, it takes me 1 whole week to recover. I hope the players in the flying eagles have shorter recovery times.
Tbaba dnt worry, their experienced physios would have put that into consideration. After all most other countries are also yet to arrive. Ukrain who are the first to arrived only got their on wednesday.

Japan, and S.Korea are jst 1hr behind New Zealand and Nigerian U17 teams of the past went their and won titles. The boys should b used to travelling by now and jet lag shouldnt be an issue. The longest i have travelled is 11hrs to another time zone and it took me 2-3days to get over the jetlag.So no cause for alarm as their is no disaster in the travel plan as you call it.

Career › Re: my by Icon4s(m): 4:48pm On May 22, 2015
A good write up Mr Uchendu.
I have also always emphasised on preparedness. When preparedness meets with opportunity success is the result.

I like ur LinkedIn approach while most of ur compatriots were spending more time on facebook, twitter, badoo and the likes.

I have always told People that i started practising job test questions 1 week after i defended my B.Sc project. Thé whole of my NYSC period was used in preparing for different types of tests.Name them: GMAT, GRE, SHL(these were the test formats in vogue during 2004-2005 when i job hunted).I also had a booklet on interview questions and answers. I also had a book on how to prepare a Résumé. All of which i mastered before I entered the job market.
And because i was really prepared when d opportunities came I succeeded. Imagine having to chose between: FCMB, MTN and NNPC.

From your specifications, 10m naira is not feasible , I have a 4 bedroom duplex construction that I am handling in Benin too and the estimated cost is put at 19m naira but if you are ready,please let me know so that we can do something to the cost.
Find attached pics of the 4 bedroom duplex.
Ok thanks. With my budget I better go for a nice bungalow.
I have a 45ft by 100ft land. Can u give me sample of a 4bedroom bungallow that i can finish with 6-8million naira.

I was the guy dat called u from Benin last week. Remember u told me u have a project at Evotubu. Mayb we can do business.

Just like how Aba is not in Umuahia, Ore is not in Akure, Ijebu-Ode is nt in Abeokuta.
Except if u are telling us that Calabar is a state.

Btw every Town/State in Nigeria has such places. Go to so many neighbourhoods in Lagos, Ijebu-Ode, Aba, Onitsha u'll c places like that.

Young eagles go for GOLD!
I will nt be so hasty in including Iheanacho and Moses in starting 11. They have nt even joined the team in training.
If u can select Iheanacho and Moses ahead of the other players, I see no reason y u should select Awoniyi ahead of Success.
I would rather start Musa Yahaya ahead of Moses and Bulbwa ahead of Iheanacho. Awoniyi starting ahead of Success is Ok.

...but i still believe so much in Alampasu this Enaholo is he that good to bench Dele?
well coaching crew know better.
Alampasu was the best goalie in the squad at U17 but this is U20 where more professional players are included. Enaholo is a full professional while Alampasu is still an academy player. Alampasu is even 3rd choice goalie.

@Icon4s, mxxpunkxx1

Before i answer you, let me ask the following questions;
1. Where is the plot located?
2. Is the plot dry or waterlogged?
3. What type of roofing sheet will be used?
4. What type of ceiling finishes will be used?
5. What type of doors and windows will be used?
6. What type of tiles will be used?

E.T.C
The land is in Benin
Dry land
Usual stone coated roofing sheet with parapet
Normal brick or polished marble tiles
Pop ceiling.
The usual modern doors and Windows.
And as i said exclude cost of interlocking tiles in d compound.
It cost atleast 150K to do a bore hole in Benin

Was paid 20K per month. I didnt even border to try see whether i could b retained. I jst left and went homwe to be sleeping as soon as d project was over.
It was too stressful. I swore never towork in a bank again.

[size=14pt]Ghana U20 lose to Portugal in friendly[/size]

https://africanfootball.com//bp_images/2015/05/GhanaU20AYC1_580x472.jpg

Ghana’s U20 lost 1-0 to Portugal in a pre-FIFA U20 World Cup friendly played in Sydney on Wednesday.

According to reports, the Black Satellites were second best on the evening and got punished by European side who have also qualified for the tournament.

Ghana will wrap up their preparations with a friendly against Colombia before playing their Group B opener against Austria on 30 May.

The Black Satellites will also face Argentina and Panama in the Group stage.

Ghana U20 starting line-up against Portugal:

Kwame Baah- Kingsley Fobi, Patrick Kpozo, Joseph Adjei, Joseph Aidoo- Kofi Yeboah, Yaw Yeboah, Osei Barnes, Prosper Kassim- Benjamin Tetteh, Emmanuel Boateng.
A good test match for Ghana. Nigeria should forget all those German U23 clubs and face some real tests too. Nothing wrong in playing 1 or 2 European/Asia/South American U20 sides.

Politics › Re: Between Igbo, Yoruba And Other Nigerian Women - Femi Kayode by Icon4s(m):
So so very true. Even in my company, the most senior woman is Igbo.

Some possible reasons:
1. Democracy. Yes, during d military era women were hardly considered for public office positions. They did nt even have d mind. Remember OBJ brought in d likes of Ezekwesili, Akunyili, Okonjo-Iweala.

2.Igbo women are well read: While in some parts of d country they see education as more important for men, in some parts of Igbo land they see education for the girls and learning trading for the boys

3. The Igbo spirit: Igbos are naturally reselient and hard working, including the woman. Have also asked why the Igbos dominate our national female football teams?

4. Igbo men dont feel intimidated by the qualifications and degrees of their wives: An Igbo man who is a tråder can support his more educated wife to any level she so desires without feeling intimidated. Most of those prominent Igbo women who knows their husbands?

5Most other tribes suppress their wives. This point is d opposite of my 4th point. A typical Yoruba or Hausa man would always want to remain above their wives hence would nt want their wives to achieve what they have nt achieved. All those Funmilayo Kuti and Kudirat Abiola memtioned are who they are bc of their husbands.

6. Lastly Igbo ladies are classy. They usually have high tastes and ambitions.

Nig vs Bra. June1, 2am. My starting line up:
4-3-3:
...............Enaholo
Mohammed..Omego..Ndidi..Mustafa
.............Idowu.............Ifeanyi
...................Sokari
...Bulbwa....................Yahaya
.................Awoniyi


Subs:
Depending of how the game is progressing, considering d like for like option:
Iheanacho for Bulbwa,
Moses for Yahaya
Success for Awoniyi
If the game is nt progressing in our favour:
Iheanacho for Sokari
Success for Awoniyi
Moses for Ifeanyi, so Yahaya joins Awoniyi/Success as a second center forward and Moses plays d Left Wing Forward.
Or Bulbwa off Success in and joins Awoniyi as CF while Moses comes in for either Idowu or Ifeanyi & moves to d right wing.
So many tactical options, infact this team is too much
Sports › Re: Nigeria Names Final Squad For Fifa U-20 World Cup [SEE Full List] by Icon4s(m): 5:47am On May 17, 2015
Selecting a starting 11 for this list will prove even more difficult.

For the defenders we know the starters already.

That midfield na die. Under a 4-3-3 formation only 3 of them gat to play. And d attack is even more competitive. Eg If it is 4-4-2: Awoniyi or Success, Iheanacho or Bilbwa. If it is 4-3-3(likely) we have in addition Moses/ Yahaya/ Mathew.
Good competition good squad.

My starting 11 against Brazil:

.............Enaholo
Mohamed...Omego...Indidi...Mustapha
............Idowu.........Ifeanyi
...................Sokari
Bulbwa..........................Yahaya
.................Awoniyi

Subs:
Iheanacho
Success
Simon
Mathew
Nwakali
Ezeh.

Success may b better than Awoniyi in terms of individuality bt bc of continuity and form i would prefer Awoniyi starts. Awoniyi has so mastered d rythm of this team. His positioning first class. He easily beats off side traps and usually scores on one on one chances. Success has never played with this team. He might b integrated as d tourney progresses if Awoniyi doesnt deliver as expected.

I am not saying this bc I am a Nigerian: I think we are favourites to atleast reach the semis.
