[b][size=14pt]Nigeria U23 may face Ghana for Olympics football ticket[/size]


Coach Samson Siasia’s men have been handed a tough pairing enroute the 2015 Caf U23 Championship which serves as gateway to the 2016 Olympic Games
Nigeria’s Dream Team V1 will face either Ghana/Liberia or Congo in the third round of the 2015 Caf U23 Championship qualifying series.

The 2015 Caf U23 Championship billed for Senegal in December acts as qualification to the 2016 Summer Olympics men’s football for the Confederation of African Football, with the top three teams qualifying and the fourth placed finisher playing in a play-off against a team from the Asian Football Confederation.

The Black Meteors will slug it out with the winner between Liberia and Congo in second round and may likely face Samson Siasia’s team in the third round for a ticket to the Caf U23 Championship.

According to Caf, all players participating in the preliminary and final tournament of U23 African Championship shall be born on or after 1 January 1993.

The first edition of the quadrennial African Youth football showpiece was first staged in Morocco in 2011 with Gabon emerging as champions after silencing the hosts in the final.

Nigeria will make it through. I know.
But why is CAF fond of pairing Nigeria with Ghana for Olympics qualifiers?
Nigeria and Ghana have the highest pedigree in Africa when youth football is concerned. These two teams should always b seeded away from each other. If Nigeria plays Ghana then who would likes of Mali, Egypt or Cameroun play? Likes of Ethiopia, South Africa and Botswana?
CAF and Ojoro. I wont be surprised if Issa Hayatou's Cameroun will play against a team like Sudan.

What is " Horse blood"? Or you meant " Ox blood"?

You said you are 24 and not yet through with ur bachelors degree and already fixing marriage for 3 years time?

Well, I wish u Luck.

How much?

The boys we featured in our last 2 friendlies are imposters. We need our regulars back like: Ambrose, Echiejile, Oshaninwa, Moses, Ike Uche, Mikel (when he recovers), Emenike. We also need to convert Sammy Ameobi and reinvite Imoh Ezekiel and Uche Nwofor. As for Ideye he jst a flash in the pan at WestBrom(he can b reinvited though), Anichebe is too injury prone, Ighalo and Ujah are nt Super Eagles materials.

Leon Balogun has proven a good right back so Ambrose should go back to his Original Centre back position where he will pair with Omeruo. Egwuekwe and Obaobona should sit on d bench. We need the experience of Elderson at left back.
Onazi should maintain d defencive midfield role while Aluko replaces Mikel. Moses and Musa can maintain their wing forward positions while Babatunde plays the attacking midfiel role behind Ike Uche.

This is our best team for now

Going forward, Musa can b converted to a Centre forward. If we can get Sammy Ameobi he can replace Musa at the flanks.

God Bless Nigeria

The top teams from each group and top 2 second placed teams will qualify.

No complasancy this time and we must field our best team in all matches. We must play even Chad with our full strength. No under dogs in Africa any more.

That Congo game in Calabar still bitter in my mind.

Never free of custom

But i understand they only usually check newly registered vehicles.

fanex:
no lagos and cotonu duty costs the same thing. but the thieving agents pa like 150k out of the 350k you give to them and bribe their way through IDIroko route. God forbid custom decides to dig history of your papers.

After like how long is a car usually free of customs check?

@op pls explain what u mean by : CUSTOM AND CLEARING: 50% Cost due to d Nigeria govt. Does it that if the cost of Clearing if it comes through Lagos is like 350K coming through cotonou would be abt 175K?

Lagos is peculiar to most other states of the Federation.
It is one of the only few states whose name is coined from a foreign word. Lagos is Portugues word for Lagoons.

The earliest settlers of Lagos Island of which d state got its name were the freed slaves from Brazil.

Lagos became the seat of Power even before the amalgamation. The freed slaves and d British colonial masters started d dévelopement we see in Lagos today. Post indepence Nigeria had Lagos as its capital. Ibadan was d capital of the Awolowo controlled Western Region while Lagos was the Federal Capital. Lagos was not under the Western Region jst like Abuja is nt under Niger, Kaduna or any state in the North.

I repeat, Lagos was never under the Western Region or under Awolowo's control.
However, that does nt mean Lagos is not owned by the Yorubas. YORUBAS OWN LAGOS BUT YORUBAS DID NOT DEVELOP LAGOS.

Yes, Yorubas developed Ibadan which still carries the symbol of Yoruba civilization to date.

On the issue of development of Lagos, the freed slaves from Brazil brought with them there Brazilian architecture which can b found in several streets in Lagos Island.The CMS cathedral is an example. The British colonial masters later established a structural frame work for development to take place in Lagos.
At independence Lagos remained d federal capital as several infrastructures, investments and businesses sprang up due to its relevance as a seat of power.

Populatios started springing up in several areas and housing needs arose and d federal government started several housing estates like the 1004 flats, Bar beach towers, Eric More Towers etc. The locals (Original Lagos settlers) started selling their landed properties to Nigerians from other parts of the country mostly Ogun, Kwara and Igbos who built several residential houses to meet the ever rising population of Lagos.

The Federal capital was moved to Abuja in 1991 leaving development of Lagos to its citizens and foreign investors.

Successive govts in Lagos inherited the already built infrastructures put in place by the Federal govt.

No doubt Yorubas own Lagos but development of Lagos was mainly not by the Yorubas.

Ibadan is the product of Yoruba civilization and development.

Segadem:
is Joshua Enaholo better than Alampasu?

Yes according to the coaching crew. Enaholo, if he works on himself can be the next Enyeama.

Top 4 matches to watch

1. Arsenal Vs Chelsea
2. ManU vs Mancity
3. ManU vs Arsenal
4. Chelsea vs Manu.

Hmmm ManU still on a long thing o.

Come to think of dropping 14 players from this heavily talented list of players.

Can fifa allow us to go with 30players?

Need a job is food processing factory


I graduated as a food Engr


I did my I T At fanmilk PLC for 6 months

Don't limit ur search to food precessing. Fact is that u can even work in Oil and Gas with that ur degree in Food Engineering.

I am a Geologist currently working in the Oil and Gas sector.

The period of job search is always the most challenging and trying time for young people particularly young men.

I give Glory to God for where I am today. But each time i look back and remember all my sufferings and challenges it just seems like a dream.

Infact i almost lost relevance even in my father's house bc i had no job so i had no say.
Even when i got a job bt bc the pay was little, i still felt miserable.

But something kept me going: My high self esteem and self worth

I graduated with a 2:1 in Geology.
I prepared my CV immediately i got my statement of result before going for NYSC. I had d hope of securing a job before finishing NYSC.
I started practising GMAT and GRE immidiately i finished project defence while awaiting NYSC.

I used the whole of NYSC period to prepare for my job search. I believed i was so good and was bubbling with high hopes and expectations Cos i was scoring very high in the practise test questions.Infact i applied for jobs during NYSC and wrote NNPC and Shell tests bt was nt succesful (my first encounter with reality on ground).

I came out of NYSC without securing any jobs unlike what i expected. I started sending cv to different companies as they advertised. I wrote Oceanic bank, Diamond bank, UBA and was nt succesful though i got to d interview stage in 2 of them.

My first ever job came as a miracle at Accessbank. I was lying down thinking abt my life when my university class mate called me to come to Accessbank Toyin street Ikeja that they are looking for adhoc staff. I arrived their in no time. I got the offer and also contacted some of my other comrades in the struggle hu also got it.

It was a 1month job.The news of my bank job spread among my extended family and church members like wild fire. Though i didnt tell them it was a 1month contract job.We were paid off at month end and i was back home and hidding from people so they wont ask y i didnt go to work.

Next day i went to visit my girl friend (my wife today). I was still in her place when i received a phone call inviting me for an aptitude test and interview at an Oil Servicng company i sent my application to abt 2 months earlier. They actually requested for minimum of 2yrs experience bt i still applied without experience. I got the job! It was my first break through.

Employed as a trainee with a gross salary of 33K was nt so bad to start with. Banks were paying GTs 40-70K then.

I knew my worth. I knew i was worth more than that. I now limited my application to major Oil and Gas companies. I wrote Elf test, didnt scale through the test stage. I wrote Shell and got to the interview stage. I wrote NNPC and got the job. Shell put me on stand-by but no message from them till date not even a regret mail.

I still work with the NNPC till date and not regretting it.

So job seekers know ur worth, prepare well and keep pressing.

So Nigerians are still expecting to meet the over 200 Chibok girls in one place?
Girls that have been married out to Islamists locally, in Sudan , Chad, Niger, Libya etc. Some of them may have also been used as suicide bombers. They may also have been among the wives of the islamists killed in Bama.

Sad to say but only a few of those girls might make it home.

[b][size=14pt]Siasia may turn to Ajagun for inspiration[/size]

https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2015/04/Samm_15_March_3_580x473.jpg

Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia is now considering Panathiniakos midfielder Abduljaleel Ajagun to inspire his disjointed midfield.

Siasia’s team have struggled in defence and midfield and Ajagun could well now be the answer to the team’s problems in the middle of the park, team sources told AfricanFootball.com

Central midfielder Ajagun was the star for the Flying Eagles as they reached the knockout rounds of the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey.

His goals, creativity and overall play at this tournament will earn him a contract at top Greek club Panathinaikos.

This season, Ajagun has scored six goals for Panathinaikos - four in the league, one in the Europa League and one in the cup.

And Panathinaikos are leading the table with 61 points from 27 games.

Former Nigeria U20 coach John Obuh has already backed the invitation of Ajagun to the U23 team.

Nigeria U23 team face a crunch tie against Zambia on April 12 for a place in the 2015 All Africa Games football event.

Both teams played out a goalless draw in Abuja last month. [/b]

I wonder y Siasia has left out the John Obu boys from this team. Players like Ajagun, Kayode, Olaitan and Omeruo should be the back bone of this team. Y has he not also invited Imoh Ezekiel, Kenedy Otigba and Aaron Samuel?

He wants to start behaving like Keshi that will throw away experienced Players for rookies so it will b in record that he discovered them. Now that those his rookies cant beat Zambia at home he is now looking for help from different players he didnt give a chance before.

Mtcheew Nigerian coaches never learn.

The wind of change is blowing in Nigeria.
Come Aprill 11 change is inevitable.

Sai Agbaje!
Sai PDP.

A blast from the past

Enyimba le ndi oma eji e me onu.

Y has he nt invited Aaron Samuel?

Algeria 5-1 Nigeria. Afcon 1990 opening game.

Buhari has transfered that spirit if violence into all APC supporters.Even a once harmless pregnant woman?

" in 2015 The Dogs and Baboons will be socked in blood".Is this part of d manifestation?

Y APC always spreading falsehood?

This election is likely heading for a run-off
Good Luck will win in all SS & SE States.

Good Luck has won Ekiti and is leading in Plateau, Benue and FCT thus far

Thus far GoodLuck seems to have gotten at least 25% in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Kwara, Niger and Kogi.

Taraba and Adamawa have a large Christian population and may swing in favour of GoodLuck.

Bc of d large Christian population in Southern Kaduna plus Sambo's influnce (hu even delivered his unit) Good Luck can get d 25% here.

I dnt see Buhari winning up to 25% in Abia, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa, and Delta.

I dnt see Good Luck winning up to 25% in Yobe, Bornu, Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, Katsina, Sokoto and Kebbi.

We might be heading for a close finish.
A run-off is looming.

But INEC said collation for presidential votes commences 12pm tomorrow naa

Change will sweep it away alongside SureP, ongoing public service recruitments, the automobile industry reforms, Agric industry reforms etc.

Change is what they clamoured for abi. U can't eat ur cake and still have it.

Lies.All lies. Fake results.

hungryboy:
Ever since the campaign for the presidential election started, i did make up my mind to vote for change, cos there was no visible federal government project in my state,
I changed my mind today at the last minute, when i talked to a few hausa guys at my polling booth, then realised that the were all voting for Apc, and the were even cursing Jonathan and even accusing him of sponsoring bokoharam, i told them about Jonathan's almajiri education project and the many projects he has done in the north, i even told them that Jonathan hasn't done much here for us his people, compared to the north, but the had none of it, then i realised that this guys were voting based on religious sentiments,
I had no choice but to vote based on 'na our man' sentiments too,
Though am not proud of myself, Afterall am still going to be doing this business am doing no matter who wins,
There is so much hate between the tribes and religions in this country, 'lets stop living this lie' called Nigeria, lets divide this country

Exactly my point.

Make Konji no go kill u if GEJ no win o.

Although me no say na GEJ till 2019.

So you will be ok with the results if 70% of the electorates are disenfranchised?
