Question that needs an answer

If she was a decent lady why did som1 divorce her?

Divorce is not quarrel she looks like who sleeps around, so the reasons why the first man left wouldn't be hard to see


For those calling her beautiful, nairalanders are obviously mostly ugly thats why an average look is beautiful to them


Well the new guy is wasting his time, marrying a cheater with 2 kids, i hail his family for agreeing and i pity him for the burden he is accepting because of this ugly mulele that is full of streachmarks

Forgiveness put your mouf for shum. No dey tok to da first lady like that now angry grin sad shocked

You guys tend to write off our players. What kinda nonsense is that! The Zambians can camp as long as they want, they still can't play above their levels. Even our Olympic team can beat them sef. We would have beaten them soundly in Lusaka if we had taken our chances. Go back and watch the game again....Brown Ideye alone wasted two clear cut chances. And if not for jetlag, they shouldn't have pulled one goal back either. I am not worried about Zambia, I am only worried about our fans making it sound like if we're suddenly playing against Brazil or Germany!

Enough is enough! The Zambians are playing mind games .... don't help them to achieve their aim.

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! This girl just like wahala, I swear. grin

Wetin man do na? grin

Make I no talk wetin I see again? Shuuuu! shocked grin

I am not even talking about the weakness or strength of our team. I am only discussing what I saw when I watched the Zambia's game and I noticed they rely on crossing the ball from the wings.

Virtually, all their goals came from the wings during this campaign hence the need to block or stop them from the wings.

Besides, there is one guy Orchestrating the play from the midfield and I think he has to be tamed.

But here you are talking about hate and your feelings when you know they are inconsequential in public domain where opinions should/must differ. grin

This is no longer Football matter girl. Hold yourself and stop expressing feelings that has nothing to do with soccer in public domain.

Even this feelings are fake because you are in a fake cyber World where Saint could be mistaken for devil or devil mistaken for saint. grin

Now, put that behind you and let's talk Football.


It depends on where the coach plays Mikel.

If Moses Simon and Victor Moses have athleticism are they to hold the Zambian's wingers? grin

My focus is to curtail the Zambian's wingers. It's as simple as that but if you have different opinions share them and stop using emotions to deal with the society.

That level of mind set is low. grin


Of course, we have a better team than Zambia but with wrong selection and tactics, believe me anything can happen.


Manchester City has better team than Chelsea is only in your dreams. grin

Safari my sister, don't mind them ... some people you can just ignore. One of the biggest problem we have in this forum, like many others online, is that the loudest members are not necessarily the most knowledgeable members.

When we discuss speed in football, for instance, some folks would immediately think about the players who can run the fastest. But those of in the know would understand speed in football as the speed of play aka ball movement. Our USA '94 World Cup team is still one of the most athletic football team the world has seen but that wasn't based on their individual athleticism of the players but rather on the rhythm of the team.


O pari

safarigirl:
Moses Simon get athleticism, Leon Balogun and especially Victor Moses he athleticism.

Mikel does not need athleticism, he will decimate those kids with ease, I have confidence in that.

I hate reading anything you post and even more, I hate conversing with you because you aggravate me.

You can think whatever you like, but it dies not change the fact that our team is better than Zambia's just like Manchester City had a better team than Chelsea.

God! I hate talking to you
HealthRe: White Man Compares A Dog In US & Health System In Lagos by Icon79(m): 1:30pm On Oct 02, 2017
I totally agree with NbyOdai. S/He is the only person who understands what the Sean Murphy person is doing. The other mugus are just spitting bs not knowing that they are being used to accomplish an agenda. Most of these folks like to throw around all those crappy statistics to make them feel better about their sordid lives. Yes, NbyOdai is correct! Why compare Miami with Nigeria? Why not compare it with Berlin, Germany or Perth, Australia? And he also mentioned something very important which the original op would like to conveniently ignore - the cost of healthcare in this country. Hence, he's correct 'unless the pet owner is a multi millionaire, the pet would die' because an average pet owner can't afford the service in Miami either.... especially considering that pets don't have health insurance.

I have advised Nigerians times without number, on twitter, to quit washing their dirty linens in public. If you really want to affect change in Nigeria then contact the minister/ministry(ies) responsible directly or you can even contact the Presidency. Posting craps on twitter or Facebook isn't gonna change anything.

The racist mugus we have like to throw these statistics around not because they actually care about what's going on in Africa but rather to accomplish a bigger goal - their racist agenda. Like each time they tell you that a Nigerian lives on $3 per day. First, that statistics is false and a total fabrication. Secondly, they throw these numbers around without also juxtaposing it with the average cost of living. The cost of living in the US is much higher than in Nigeria, hence the purchasing power of three dollars in Nigeria isn't comparable to the United States.

And I can go on and on .... anyway, next time you see a foreigner trying to tell you how bad you've got it ask yourself what his/her true motives are, before you respond.

TB, I was just about to make the same point. You gotta consider the competition before we decide how much stock we'd put on the award. As the saying goes, in the land of the blind, a one eyed man becomes king. If you don't have too many quality foreign players playing in the Israeli league then anybody can win it easily (even a mediocre player) but that doesn't make you a super star.

$120 for 4 hours of work, cutting grass? That's about $30 per hour?

First of all, that's a BS story. Absolutely not true. For such a job anywhere in the US, you can't make more than the minimum wage - less than $10/hr in most places. But even if we're to take this story as told, let me tell you what you don't know.

More than 40% of your salary goes into taxes (Fed tax, state tax, social security tax, medicare tax etc etc.), then you gotta consider all the bills: cable tv, phone, internet, cell phone, gas, electricity, water, rent/mortgage, car note, car registration, etc etc. After paying all those bills bro, by the end of the months, your bank account would be empty....regardless of how much you make.

Like I previously stated, problem with living overseas is that this money is accumulated here and then spent here. I wish there's a way I could be working in America while living in Nigeria: now, that's my dream life grin

He said the joy he had passed the stress he went through. If he should do this work for just 5days, that is about $600 and that is about #219,000naira here in Nigeria.

SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon79(m):
Bro., first of all, stats can be deceiving because you gotta take several things into considerations, including but not limited to the following:
- the team's style of play
- the player's role in the overall scheme of the team
- the players team mates and their unique abilities

But even if we decide to go with the stats below, I will still prefer Azubuike over Ogu considering that the current Super Eagles team badly needs a playmaker. The only playmaker we have in the current set up is Mikel; hence anytime we sub Mikel our midfield breaks down completely. In that case, we will need Azubuike as our second playmaker. We need somebody who can read the game and break up plays before they develop. Right now, only Mikel and Leon Balogun are capable of doing that in the current set up. And in addition, we need someone who's comfortable with the ball on his feet and can hold up plays in the midfield and draw out the opponents ... right now, only Mikel can play that role effectively, and that's where Azubuike can help.


O pari

tbaba1234:
Olympics is still an age group competition

Agu and Azubuike play in the same league and these are their stats

Tackles
Agu averages 3.7 tackles per game
Azubuike averages 2.3 tackles per game

Interceptions
Azubuike averages 3.2
Agu averages 1.8

Fouls
Azubuike averages 2
Agu averages 2.7

Clearances
Azubuike averages 0.5
Agu averages 2.7

Dribbles
Azubuike averages 2
Agu averages 0.8

Blocks
Azubuike averages 0.2
Agu averages 0.5

Overall rating
Agu: 7.02
Azubuike: 6.89

For tenacity, clearances and tackling, Agu is your man.
For dribbles and reading the game, Azubuike is your man.

From a defensive standpoint, Agu is a better choice.

Overall, Agu has had the better start to the season so far from available stats.
