It took the entire might of Nigerian government, Russia (a super power), Great Britain (another super power), Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and about a dozen other countries more than 3 years to defeat the rag tag army of Biafra who were literally fighting the war with their bare hands!

Now, go analyze that and maybe (just maybe) you may understand where I was coming from. Until then, have a good weekend!

what invention? innoson?

Listen my friend, his client was being accused of a crime, the simple thing to do would've been for him to provide hard evidence that no crime was committed. Instead he started making the silly argument of how Tinubu was a man of means. As being "a man of means" inoculates one from being a corrupt criminal. BS upon BS!

plaindealer:
He's a SAN not only because he's familiar with the laws of Nigeria, but also because he's aware that banks using BV to transport valuables to and from their customers is not a crime and no crime was committed, but you are free to educate the SAN per what crime was committed and the part of the Nigerian constitution that says banks can not transport valuables to their customers with BV.

The SAN is not dumb, but the people ranting against him are dumb

Yet all my afonja friends tell me that it's "a status symbol" for a Yoruba guy to date an Igbo girl.

And I am not kidding you either!

You can always play the tribalism card but, still, facts are facts. God has given every race (tribe) something (a unique identity) that distinguishes them from all the other races.

Ndi Igbo are blessed to be inventors and innovators. That's an indisputable fact. Take it from me, Nigeria will become the Japan of Africa if they free Ndi Igbo and allow them to take their rightful place in Nigeria.

Your post reeks of blant tribalism and ethnic superiority 'bullshit'. Something similar to fascists idealogy in Italy.

There's no tribalism in my sentiments at all. Zero.

I was just stating F-A-C-T-S. Facts are facts.

You've started your tribalism already. It might shock you to know that Innoson does have Yorubas in top management of his company.

You're very welcome, sista. And don't worry, I can adopt you as well

For someone who claims to be a SAN, this Sagay man sounds really really dumb! What has all these ranting about Tinubu being rich got to do with the bullion van allegation? How did this man become a SAN in the first place

Yup. The fake Ronaldo scored 14 goals against the likes of:

Icon79 right now....

I think it would be a mistake to compare Finidi, Jay Jay, Oliseh, Ikpeba and other Nigerian ex internationals with the likes of Gullit, Lampard, Gerrard, etc. Unlike their Euro counterpart, anytime I listen to our ex internationals analyze the game, I always reach the conclusions that playing the game doesn't necessarily make you all knowledgeable about the game. Bottom line, most of our ex internationals are empty when it comes to game analysis, match reading, and game management.

To this day, the only former players who have impressed me with their game analysis are: Segun Odegbami, Sunday Oliseh, and Samson Sia Sia. The other ones are nothing to write home about.


O pari

komekn:
Please be substantive.

Because Oliseh and his huge ego failed is not an excuse to taint everyone.

Experience in the context of the NFF means compliance with the status quo.

Now examine the multiple examples l have given of Managers not as experienced and or as qualified as Finidi who were managers of national team in Europe not even Africa.

I disagree with your proposition with objectivity and rational COMPLETELY.

My problem with her has nothing to do with the forgery. If you follow me on twitter, you'd know that I started calling for her firing after less than 6 months of her appointment. She was grossly incompetent and not qualified to be trusted with such an important portfolio. The Finance minister is too important a position to be trusted to a rookie.


O pari

komekn:
That may or may not be true. Although l have my doubts she went university and is professionally qualified and don't think I would tag her an air head.

However, that's not the issue.

But the manner that she was removed from office. That's the issue. There are many air heads in government and in the NA. Infact there have been a few illiterates.

The issue is that NYSC exemption certificate is not an academic qualification. It's an administrative exercise of attestation to say you are not required to complete NYSC. That's all.

She didn't forg the certificate it was found not be valid. Do you know how many driving licences in the past issued by the official licensing office are invalid. In my estimated millions.

It's also blatant hypocrisy and selective double standard. The President to date has not been able to tender his school certificate. Pot calling the kettle black.

Only in Nigeria.

Sorry I digress but back to football.

My problem with Aunty Kemi was her NYSC certificate or lack thereof. Actually, I had called for her firing even before the entire certificate scandal.
I don't know whom she gbenshed to get there (probably Tinubu) but I think she was incompetent and totally unqualified for the job.


O pari

Eartquake1:
If you know how many Aso Rock employees and Fed govt employees from the North that don't have NYSC certificates you'll be marveled

I thought we had tried that before - with Sunday Oliseh, right? How did that work out for us??

For me, no more apprentice coaches in national team. You don't start school at the university level.


O pari

komekn:
What experience do you need.

What experience did Gareth Southgate have.

What experience dud Rudd Hullit and his good friend FRANK RIJKARD have before becoming the manager of Holland.


Knowledge and innovation are not the first borns of Experience.

Finidi is my first choice.

I don't want him to tint his character, integrity and then INNOVATION, KNOW HOW UNDERSTANDING with the experience of the NFF.

For me appoint him and watch him make Nigeria proud. A man of integrity that is not begging for money or will be influenced by that desire and or sharp under handed practices.

Unlike all the others we know

LOL. BS upon BS!

I heard Suleman (sp), the naija dude who was commentating for BeinSport, said the same crap during the game on Sunday about the players being professional and able to handle the altitude. Only someone who hasn't played game in a high altitude would say that nonsense!

Like I said before ,they are professionals, they will handle it. When the team does its homework well, it shouldn't be a problem.
The last time I checked, it's not their first time playing in such environment.

I agree with you on Onnoghen. He was cleared out to make way for Buhari to install his man prior to the presidential election court challenges. Buhari and APC didn't wanna leave anything to chance.

But Kemi Adeosun ought to be fired. She was an airhead who doesn't know anything about the economy.


O pari

Eartquake1:
Onnoghen was replaced by a dunce of an Islamic scholar, Kemi Adeosun was replaced by someone who can't hold a candle to her in economics

Nigeria is not about morals, it is about power. And these guys are taking advantage while you care about your ethics

What coaching experience does Finidi have? And you want to make him a national team coach, huh

#mugu


O pari

komekn:
I would put in Finidi as head coach immediately no question.

He has nothing to learn from anybody in the NFF or Amumeke for that matter.

Is Gareth Southgate better than him or more knowledgeable. Having Finidi who is not begging for money but wanting to create a name would be the best option.

Anybody familiar with the NFF is more likely to concede to unethical practices and dubious alliances.

Finidi is a Fresh face with no excess questionable luggage.

I agree with you, but not everyone has the money to go to hospital now.

Actually, I did. And I do agree with the other parts of your post, but I just wanted to correct the false insinuation that signs and wonders have ceased. Many churches are teaching that as a doctrine but that doctrine isn't based on the scripture.

Listen, it's very easy to run break all scoring records when you can run up scores against the likes of: Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Estonia, Gibraltar, Malta, Faroe Island, Latvia, Moldova, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, etc. etc


O pari

The fact that there are some FAKE miracles doesn't imply that God has stopped performing miracles. There are fake miracles even during the time of the apostles. In fact, God will perform greater miracles as the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ draws nearer. Count on it!


O pari

midnighter:
Take it in consideration of my next sentence. The miracles we see today are not of the same type as when Jesus walked on Earth.

False doctrine!

The age of signs and wonders is not over. Run away from any Church that teaches you that false doctrine because it is not biblical.


O pari

midnighter:
There's nobody like Jesus, that's the point. The age of signs and wonders is over already, He has ascended! Spiritual activity then is not the same as it is now.

Just because he called himself a pastor it doesn't mean he necessarily knew what he was doing. Anybody can wake up and call themselves a pastor.

Didn't you see the part of the story where he abandoned his family to become a so-called "pastor"? Does that sound like Christ-like behaviour to you

I'm not being fickle, I'm just saying that circumstances at times determine what we choose to do. We are still living in a world governed by natural laws; if you don't drink water, you will die, simple.

If this story is true, then I will blame it on zeal without knowledge.

If God has called you then start by preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Once you start preaching the gospel and start leading people to Christ, then the power of God would easily flow through your ministry. It is written:

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Matthew 16:17-18.
