abeg carry ur hatred dey go

Which hatred are you on about? The dude was spot on the mark. Majority of the girls do not have the flair of the game. They kick the ball aimlessly.

Deltamani:
Breathe!!! Then Applaud!

Who do you single out for praise 'cos I will have to pick in this order..
1. Chiamaka Nnadozie
2. Christy Ucheibe
3. Tony Payne
4. Osinachi Ohale
5. Deborah Abeodun..

Notable pick, Ashleigh Plumptre, Ifeoma Onumonu and Blessing Demehin

I guess madness is a free gift in Nigeria. In the absence of head case, the bolded could not have been written in this context. The cream of the crop includes Chiamaka Nnadozie, Christy Ucheibe, Ashleigh Plumptre, Michelle Alozie, Osinachi Ohale and Uchenna Kanu.

Deltamani:
Please stop it, that’s an insult to Halimatu Ayinde

There’s a Big Big difference

Halimatu Ayinde would have fetched the team a red card too.

AkinDS:
Let me guess...
They should have called Mommy Okobi instead, right?
Unbelievable! Dumbest comment I ever heard!

I do not give a ratass about Okobi. Abiodun is a waste of position on the team, period. What could be dumber than a phrase, "Mommy Okobi'?

TheSuperNerd:
No Ayinde, No Ajibade, yet the Super falcons stood strong against the reigning Olympic Champions, Canada.

Ofcos both should return for the next game.

That's a positive especially with Ayinde returning just in time following Abiodun's late red today.

There is no difference between Ayinde and Abiodun.

yinkeys:
They should play overhead balls to Kanu o
I think Nnadozie and Abiodun are our best players on the pitch
Sadly that’s a red card

This girl should not have been called up for training session.

TheSuperNerd:
Christy Ucheibe is a beast. No stronger Midfielder on the African continent. She has been everywhere. God Damn!

Worthy of the #10 shirt indeed.

She is the best in the field.

iamleumas:
Oshoala give us a goal now!

Which Oshoala?

Deltamani:
The Australian Maltidas played 4-4-2 against France before switching to 4-3-3 and then back to 4-4-2

You wouldn’t wanna see Sam Kerr and Onome Ebi in Foot race, Maybe Chasing a Long ball

Australia Players to mark are their Playmaker No.19 Katrina Gorry, their Left Winger No.9 Caitlin Foord, Sam Kerr No.20 their Star Player and maybe their No.23 Kyra Cooney-Cross their Corner kick Specialist.. And they must not forget their Speedster Cortnee Vine #5

Good and helpful information for Nigerian coaches.

potland:
who is the white woman?

Please write with some human intellect. No human being is either blue, white, green or black.

lovewins:
No long stories

Facts devoid of sentiments.

Anyone arguing now is just wasting time.

Of course this isn't a sleight on Demehin. Our hope is that she continues to improve and break new grounds. It will be our joy of she exceeds expectations at the world cup. Right now however, like 7up the difference is clear.

Addendum:

Like I expressed earlier, sometimes a coach maybe decide to use a player, not necessarily because they are better overall, but because they fit best into his game plan and have specific attributes the other doesn't have. It's the most logical reason in my opinion.

Africans have silly love on sentiments spurred by another huge problem not to be mentioned. Demehin, Imuran, Abidun and Onyenezide were on my wish list for great things after U20. I wish her success.

AkinDS:
And you know that for a fact, because…?

I have watched the two players in matches for Nigeria.

BascoVanVeli:
Who has made more blunders for Nigeria, Tosin or Ashleigh?

Of course, Tosin!! Because she has played fewer games than Ashleigh with comparable blunders.

BascoVanVeli:
There is always a back story but that doesn't change the fact that Tosin has played more
than any other player at that position.

When did so-called Tosin start playing for the Falcons of Nigeria? Tosin is a good-looking rookie and bound to commit rookie blunders. She is no way close to Plumptre in reading the game.

Proudlyomonna:

I guess the worst tribal disgrace was aired after Tinubu lost election in Lagos State. I wonder if there is a sensible tribal hatred.

AD was home to tribal dingbats.

omenka:
Good morning all.

I come in peace.

I'd begin this with two quotes.

Israelmore Ayivor once said..



George Bernard Shaw said..



These two quotes, in a sense, sum up the political blues emanating from South East Nigeria.

Nigeria is such a fascinating place and there is no other place in the country where you find such beguiling political nuances than in the South East, alot of which sprang to life just after the declaration of the results of the last general elections.

It was a chain reaction initiated by the loss of their preferred contestant, Goodluck Jonathan, and catalysed by their collective hatred for the person, tribe and religion of the victor, President Buhari, and those they perceive were associated with his victory namely Bola Ahmed Tinubu in particular, and the South West in general.

No sooner did he take the oath of office than they swarmed him with a torrent of unprintable insults and at best, criticisms, none of which came anywhere close to constructive. They jettisoned all courtesy typical of normal human engagements and delved right into a fray they created in a most sordid manner.

These folks who were having such a fantastic ride with President Jonathan for over five years and literally asked anyone who dared to grumble about being left out or shortchanged to "stick it up their assses" suddenly remembered they've been "marginalised" since the Big Bang!

They found an enthusiastic ally in a sly character called Fani Kayode and he has been doing such a plumb job making sure they fortify their hate for the aforementioned people, he himself a very bitter loser. Most surprisingly, this was the same man whose head they called for just a couple of years earlier for criticising their conduct in Nigerian politicospare.

It is this unbridled hate and anger some opportunistic layabout in London saw and took advantage of, exploiting it to the fullest. Alas, IPOB was born!

This brings me back to both my opening quotes.

Now, if not for reason of sheer hatred, how in God's gracious name did a people who pride themselves as some of the most educated and enlightened people in the continent allow a character that,

1. Has no known educational exploits,

2. Has no known literary exploits,

3. Has no leadership experience,

4. Has no known sustainable means of livelihood...

take on such gargantuan responsibility as secession?

Upon this premise, the second quote is MOST APPROPRIATE.

Nnamdi Kanu would have remained the unknown and insignificant spec in the universe he was had the "losers" not bore such morbid hatred for their supposed enemy.

Some people argue the president lit the torch of their anger by the "5%" comment. Pray tell, would this be the first time someone made such comment? Didn't Jonathan make similar comment when he was the President? The "igbos are the backbone of my administration" comment, remember that? How many people from the North or South West huffed and puffed about it despite its impropriety?

Now, someone tell me, exactly what advantage has IPOB conferred on the South East since the beginning of their belligerent campaign?

Have more projects gone to the South East?

Have more FDI gone to the region?

Have their governors become more alive to their responsibilities?

Have more appointments been given them?

Do Nigerians love them more?

IPOB has but one agenda alone, chip away at the progress Ndigbo have made over the years in every endeavor they've embarked on individually and collectively.

When I look at what these guys are doing to their brothers, i shudder in disbelief.

Take the small town of Makurdi for instance. The most popular "supermarkets", D. O. Brothers, Togos and Nobis, are owned by Igbos. They own the biggest shopping plazas, Ndupet, Merit, O. G. Winners, Tonimas, etc. They are the biggest wholesale distributors of beverages (OFICON). Etc.

I can only imagine what's going on in such big cities as Kanu, Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja, etc.

What strategy of relocation does IPOB have for these people.

You know what they say about "a man who's got nothing to lose"... A most dangerous man. With no known means of livelihood or investments anywhere, Nnamdi Kanu fits the bill for such a character.

Cornered, bruised and humiliated, they've decided inflammable propaganda is the best way to go. The outbreak of Monkey Pox and the military medical outreach presented them with the opportunity to take another pound of flesh out of "their people" (I put it this way because I believe Neither the president nor the soldiers lost a thing from the events of the last one week, rather, school children did).

But for this silly hoax, one would have thought these people who profess to be very educated and enlightened didn't know we have professional doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc, in the military!!

How sad.

How an enlightened people could believe a government intent on depopulating them would go about doing so under the full glare of the public using such overt means as injection beats me. More disturbing is the fact their leaders have chosen to keep mum over it.

Let it be known to all who care to listen, the Federal Government of Nigeria won't be blackmailed into treating any particular group of Nigerians "differently".

Maya Angelou once said "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." That held true then, it holds true now, and it will for centuries to come!

Just like Boko Haram, IPOB has succeeded in bullying into silence moderate and sensible Igbos, but just like my friend on facebook, Gozicon Munachi, it is time for these moderate elements to grow some balls, step up to the medium and salvage what is left of the political and moral patrimony of Ndigbo. Failure to do this would have very far reaching self inflicted negative consequences.

The FFKs of this world would hardly make any difference should things deteriorate any further even though they play very critical role in their escalation. Folks like him have the noose around their necks already, and would do whatever it takes to make sure that noose comes off, it doesn't matter how many lives they sacrifice in the process, just as long as it isn't their family members'.

Even the all knowing and "omnipotent" Ohamadike was nowhere to be found when shiit hit the fan. He still isn't!

This day, I extend a hand of friendship to my Igbo brothers. We may disagree on a whole lot of issues, but we could always do so with mutual respect and courtesy. I hardly agree with whatever folks like Truckpusher or Tonyebarcanista say, but we respect some unwritten rules of engagement. I believe we can at well do the same.

Let us make the most of the union while it lasts. The only people that stand to benefit from the chaos that might ensue from our constant bloodbaths are the elites. If you ask me, they represent our common adversaries irrespective of their tribe, political inclination and religion.

Thanks and have a productive week ahead.

The only haters perceived to walk the streets of Nigeria are those who took up arms to fight against a group of people whose only sin was to stand as a separate entity from Nigeria. What level of hatred is beyond the act of picking up AK-47 and wanting to kill off innocent fellows who mind their own business? The talk of most Nigerians hating on Igbo people is not a wishful exercise of subconsciousness.

All these girls no go sweet for bed again, exercise go don make their pusssssssy stiff like ponmo

I thought stiffened one is better than the ordinary. Naija pekins go wound somebody for dis site.

Naijaguy123:
My Konji looking at these women. They are suppose to be hot !

Do not look for showstoppers among Nigerian female footballers.

Hamachi:
They cannot go far. Ifeoma shouldn't make the squad, that lady that they didn't pick is a great flop, how can a onome Ebi 40yrs old defender be going to the world cup and the coach is a university Coach and as such we cannot make it

Only from Nigeria that woods go to world cup as players.

Buhari4dullard:
98% of the team are from the South

So we had better call its Southern Nigeria Team

Useless stream of thought which calls for disintegration of Nigeria.

[quote author=lovewins:]Randy Waldrum's explosive interview on the Super Falcons. He held nothing back.

He basically lets the world know the Falcons aren't prepared for the world cup

He went deep into the challenges the team has faced mostly due to the incompetence of the NFF

How Tochukwu Oluehi was suspended

How camp was cancelled and many more

Head Coach, Randy Waldrum explains how the NFF is actively making things difficult for the Super Falcons ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

What do you think of our chances heading into the tournament ? 🤔 🦅🇳🇬

What chances are you writing about? Bundle of sticks cannot win a football match.

[quote author=wwwihy post=124047474]Prof Anthony Kila explains:

Atiku and Peter Obi have both closed their respective cases without proving how they won the election. So, the idea of the court declaring any of them the winner of the election is out of the equation.

https://twitter.com/Shaibu_AO/status/1673268009710899204[/quote]Nigerians and professorship is marriage made in hell. Atiku and Peter Obi did not go to court to prove they won the election. I guess they went to the court to uncover the irregularities precipitated by so-called INEC which has been required by law of the land to conduct free and fair election.

danijesus:
INEC Na criminal gang

What of Nigeria

MisterBanny:
The Nepotism, Bigotry, sectionalism, partiality, injustice, favoritism is too much in this country. No fairness, no equity

Disintegration is a progressive answer to Nigeria!!

Nigeria and stupidity seem to be twins. What the hell is Special Intervention Squad? Nigerian Mobile Police was not only Special Intervention Squad but rapid deployable force. Most Nigerians must always fine means to embezzle fund. The jackass can withdraw Mobile Police from the guard's job however the formation of another so-called "Special Intervention Squad" is a fraud period.

CoolJulian:
Thank God you are not the coach cos Waldrum's list is much better.

A typical Nigerian for sure.

It is not funny that most Africans were so stupid not to name Jay Jay Okocha African Footballer of Year.

waice6571:
If you read Major Ademoyega's book, Why We Struck, you will understand that he displayed typical Omluabi nature in that he abhorred killings and preferred the politicians to be arrested.

And let me correct this stereotype of Yorubas as cowards. Historically, the Yorubas have been the bravest soldiers and leaders in Nigeria.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, for instance, would never have done what Nnamdi Azikiwe and Colonel Emeka Ojukwu did. Azikiwe snuck out of Biafra in 1969 and turned up in Lagos, sitting beside Gowon, and condemned Biafra and Ojukwu. Colonel Ojukwu himself fled Biafra on January 11, 1970.

Awolowo would never do that? Chief Awolowo had the opportunity to leave Nigeria and go into exile when he was accused of treason in 1962. Kwame Nkrumah offered him that option. But he stayed. He fought the case. He was convicted in 1963, went to prison and never begged to be released. He continued to control the Action Group from Calabar prison.

Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest of Col. Adekunle Fajuyi on July 29, 1966. When Northern troops, led by then Major Theophilus Danjuma, came to arrest Ironsi, he refused to release him. He was told he could replace Ironsi, but he would not budge. He chose to die with his guest! Today, his sacrifice is not appreciated by some of the people who should appreciate it. Instead, some people accuse the Yoruba of betrayal.

Also, when the then US Ambassador to Nigeria, Walter Carrington, told General Obasanjo not to return to Nigeria from Copenhagen because Abacha would arrest him on charges of coup plotting, General Obasanjo instead brought forward his return date. When asked why he returned to Nigeria, he posited that if he returned, Abacha would be less likely to kill those already arrested, especially his friend, Shehu Musa Yar’adua.

How many Nigerians do you know who can behave so honourably?

Major General Tunde Idiagbon was abroad in Mecca when Babangida and Sani Abacha overthrew him and Major General Buhari. But he returned.

Finally, there is the case of MKO Abiola, who returned to reclaim his mandate from Nigeria’s most brutal military dictator ever. He was arrested in 1994. He was offered bail, but refused freedom in exchange for abandoning his mandate. This was a multimillionaire in US Dollars. Yet, Bashorun chose prison over freedom. He did not run away and abandon his people.

The Yoruba are a very tactful and diplomatic people. They tend to be contemplative, rather than impulsive. These are attributes that some people mistake for cowardice or sycophancy. They are people who understand how to stoop to conquer.

No Yoruba leader would abandon his people and side with their opponents during a war or flee and leave them to their fate. Others may behave like that, but not Omo Oduduwa!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Most Nigerians are dumbass fools more so is this junkyard slowpoke called Reno Omokri. Omokri made this jest because of book written by the same author he chooses to celebrate. For the sake of intellectual standard of Nigerians, if Ironsi was the guest of Fajuiyi, does it also mean Ironsi was the prisoner of Fajuiyi whereby Fajuiyi would refuse to release Ironsi? The mental capacity of certain individuals in the shithole called Nigeria calls for disintegration of the structure.

You can Clearly see their age there, and I wonder why this same old Leg issue again. If you look well those 29yrs and above are arguably playing at their last World Cup except 1 or 2 and they ain’t doing bad either…

I did not write about "Old leg". I do not know how you arrived at the old legs. Let me take a dive with you on the leg thing. Young leg can be tired leg too. I am not against the selection of Deborah Abiodun, however, if she was not committed to University of Pittsburgh, where Randy is presently a coach, she would not have been selected. What happened to Nigerians girls who ply their trades in Nigerian league?
