Yes! Hopefully they won't disappoint against a Zambian side that played a 0:0 scoreless Draw in it first match against the SOUTH AFRICAN side.

By the way, The outcome of the COTED'IVOIRE U 23 vs SOUTH AFRICA U 23 billed for 4:00 pm earlier could spring them into displaying a flawless performance as a victory for COTED'IVOIRE would be in our favour of qualification after overcoming ZAMBIA late on at 7:00 pm
The future of zambian football is seriously hinged on the performance of this their team. They have their sight already set on 2022 WC with this team which is made up mostly of their 2017 U20 players.

In as much as we can say it is a laudable projection or plan but the reality is that things don't always work that way.

How has the Development of those their U20 players been like since after the U20WC?

Guys, guys let's calm down please. This thing is very easy smiley

I understand everyone's view point. But let's have it at the back of our minds that we are set out to achieve a goal. And that should always guide our line of thoughts.

Recall the nominations for last year the initial plan was to have only 5 members in the committee. But upon seeing the direction in which the nominations were going, some people come up and requested it be made 7 members of which we voted and majority were in favour of the increase to 7. A few objected, which is normal. Then also from the 7 Nominated 1 fellow pulled out and it was agreed that we return to the list and pick the next fellow in line which was done. And we moved on. Nothing is really cast in stone.

Yes, I know some of us were not aware that Icon4s and Andrewbaba44 were up for nomination even as some have come up to admit it. But again a poll was conducted to re-admit Icon4s into the committee of which majority voted 'for'. This was still another democratic process! This is not the first time such will be held while selecting awards Committee members. Nothing is cast in stone. The whole essence is for us to work effectively as a team.

This is voluntary service. Nobody gets paid. I sincerely love the enthusiasm and excitement following this year's awards. So let's work together to see that we achieve success.

So Sirs forgiveness, darkelf and somehow your points are duly noted and they are also valid but nothing is cast in stone here. We can always put one or two things together to ensure we achieve our objectives.

We shouldn't exert too much energy on this please.

Reminder: Awards Committee members to commence work on 25th November, 2019.

* For real? And we wonder why we have plenty collapsed and structurally unsafe buildings? My future builder, for a sound 3 bedroom flat depending on location, topography of land and above all personal taste, budget between 10m to 25m.
That is just it. 10m sef na poor man bungalow and it will not take care of the interlocks and plastering of the fence.

Briller:
Very true. I got an engineer who gave me an estimated #15m to complete it. By and large, my husband and I thought he was just being very unreasonable only for us to give a Qty surveyor to give us an estimate. He came up with #12.8m and we were so elated that at least we go get change on the #15m.

So we mapped out #15m for the project and gave to another Engr to handle. We have exhausted that #15m and the project is still far from being completed. Screeding, Tiling, Electrical and Plumbing Fixtures, Painting, still outstanding and those will take the bulk of the expenses as you have to finish to taste too.

After all said and done, we discovered that the engr we hired for less, lacks experience and was hardly available, so for almost everything done in the site, we had to correct and pay for labor again. Moreover, the site manager and the engineer were conniving with the suppliers and laborers to rip us off.

It taught us a lot of lessons.
1) Always supervise your work yourself even with a professional engr on the site
2) Buy your materials yourself. That way, you pay less and still get the best
3) Always insist on what you want done

That way you might spend between #14-16m and get a standard 3 bedroom.
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. My 3 bedroom bungalow with two sitting rooms, well decorated interior with wall papers and sitting room with stucco paint and very high quality rooms and exterior painting cost me N18M in 2017. Mind u, i supervised from start to finish. Roofing alone cost me over N3M

please house, how much will it cost to build a three bedroom flat in a 100x50 expanse of land in Benin city?
It depends on how big you want the house to be and your finishing taste, it can cost you between 10 & 18M.

Forget all those saying anything 5-8Million. It cannot complete a 3 Bedroom Bungalow under this present economic situation.

Joebie:
The state of our national teams -- my proposal

We need to start our next U17 program now. A new coach contracted with a very attractive salary
Finidi George to be assisted by Fidelis Ilechukwu
Scouting must start in earnest at different levels

Manu Garba should be contracted with the U20s. He should be given a chance to undo his wrongs with the same pool of players he worked with for the period of time he scouted the team and screened the last U17 team. He should be given the ultimatum to inject any deserving players outside this pool. He should be assessed based on test games as early as possible.
Emmanuel Amuneke will give him the needed tactical cover. Yes they should work together again, and maybe Nduka Ugbade as well.

Our U23 coach, Imama, should be sacked regardless of the outcome of the Tokyo Olympic qualifiers. The team should be taken over by a newly appointed tactical assistant to Gernhot Rohr. Rohr's new assistant should also be saddled with CHAN duties. The man I have in mind is Michael Emanalo. But can we pay him?

The Super Falcons should be taken over by Maureen Nkeiruka Mmadu.
No way. I stopped reading when u proposed Manu for the U20 job. He needs to go back to coaching school before coming back to handle any of our national teams.

Sorry dear for the late response.

Well, if the house wants me to be part of the selection committee who am I? I accept the opportunity to serve.

On the date of commencement, it is 25th November, 2019. And on the issue of the chairmanship, when the committee members convene in the awards committee thread, that will be created on 25th November, we will decide democratically who we want the chairman to be.

So does that answer the questions? smiley

I will easily identify a Nigerian any where in the world where I see them.

Nigerians are very proud People, flamboyant and noisy.

Our 200million population has brought out the spirit of competitiveness in us. Only a handful of Nigerians have made it out of the country and for you to qualify for a visa to Europe, Asia or America it means you must be at least average.This is due to the stringent visa requirements. So most Nigerians u see on the streets of Europe and America are big boys.And so they will always look and act it. grin

This man take ya time. Mind how you talk about awa brades grin

But meanwhile that Osu na Allen Avenue (of those days). If u know u know. If my friends venture go Osu na in the morning we dey see them again grin grin grin

I agree that Ghana is hyped. Accra is not much different from our normal Enugu, Port Harcourt, Benin. The only 2 things I admire about the place are Power supply and Security.
