Yes. This is based on many years of watching her play. Classic definition of a 'ball-hog'.
Her first instinct, whenever she gets the ball, is to dribble instead of making that simple pass to someone who is free and better positioned.
Far too many examples of this over the years and in her recent appearances, nothing has changed.

Worse still, her attitude off the pitch is even more annoying, her belief of entitlement. Perhaps she is expressing her frustrations due to her stalled career.

Your synopsis of the game is spot-on however, it is a symptomatic disease among Africans in general and Nigerians in particular and not Okobi alone.

Obiano built roads, flyovers, bridges, airport,,hospital, schools, etc. Tell us what your useless incompetent failure governors built in your cursed backward useless worthless shithole imo state since 1999? Nothing. All the roads in owerri are dilapidated and filth everywhere. Aba is now better than Owerri. Imo state is cursed.

I guess it is silly to harp about Obiano, Okorocha or Obi built bridges, airport, hospitals and schools instead of the government. Most Nigerians seem to attach wild importance on governors yet none of the governors have been held accountable for decadence.

A goat would have looked magnificently successful as the governor of Lagos State. Lagos was a metropolitan city and capital of a nation before it was made a state.

You simply cannot talk about rebuild without how the destruction occurred. Who destroyed the shithole called Nigeria?

The two most recent Presidential candidates in the US Elections were 74 and 77yrs old respectively.

Their Senate Majority leader (Mitch McConnell) is 78yrs old and has been in the senate for 35yrs.

Their House is led by an 80yrs old woman (Nancy Pelosi) and she’s been there for 31yrs.

Nigeria's problem is not age but *mentality*: "turn by turn", "chop-I-chop", "Yahoo Yahoo is brain at work", "cheating is smartness" etc.

*No nation becomes better until they change their mentality.*

*BEING YOUNG IS NOT AN ADVANTAGE UNLESS....*

Yahaya Bello was 40, Dimeji Bankole was *34*, Orji Kalu was *39*

Gov. Yahaya Bello was born on *18th July 1975*.

He became governor on Jan 27th 2016 aged *40yrs*.

Anyim Pius Anyim was born 19th Feb. 1961.

He was elected Senate President in August 2000 aged *39*.

Let's talk about Dimeji Bankole.

He was born 14th, Nov. 1969 and was elected into house of Reps in 2003 when he was just *34!!!*

He later became speaker of house of Reps. in Nov 2007 at *38yrs as a bachelor*.

*Let me shock you more*....

Orji Uzor Kalu was born on 21st, April 1960 and was elected in 1999 at just *39*.

*AM I COMMUNICATING*?

Donald Duke was born 30-11-1961, also elected governor of Cross River State in 1999 at *38*.

These are some of the *YOUTHS* who had found themselves in leadership positions.

*Did they do things differently*?

What indelible marks would you say Dimeji left as speaker being a young man?

What of Orji Uzor Kalu?

Did he serve Abia State differently and better as a young man?

*Our problem is not age of aspirants or candidates*.

Those who plunged us into this wahala are also youths.

The active players in the *civil war* were all youths.

*The actors of 1st and 2nd coup of 1966 were all young men*.

One of them was *Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu*.

He was just 29 years then, born on 26th, Feb 1937

The beneficiaries of subsequent coups were also youths

Yes! In their **20s, 30s and early 40s*.

*One of them was Yakubu Gowon*.

Yakubu was born 19-10-1934, became head of state in July 1966 at youthful age of just *32!!!*

He married his wife, Victoria as a sitting *head of state!*

What do all these our parents tell us made them to fail and we think we can do differently and better?

Are these ones; Bukola Saraki, Dino malaiye,, Wike, Tambuwa, Fayose not youths when they got elected to serve?
What positive impact did they make?

Those shouting *'Not too young to rule*' must also remember *'NOT TOO YOUNG TO STEAL*'

Our problem is not *age, sex, qualification, tribe or religion of leaders*.

It is having that *DETERMINATION and COMMITMENT TO SERVE*.

It's about being *God FEARING AND POSSESSING LEADERSHIP QUALITIES* like *AHMADU BELLO, AWOLOWO, ZIK, BALEWA and others*.

They were also youthful when they came on board.

So, it is NOT just about their AGE.

They were determined to serve

*_May God bless our country �� Nigeria._*

You are correct with your stream of thought. However, it is way out of order to slide into comparison between US and Nigeria. Nigeria is not configured for success. Age has nothing to do with it.

Nigeria is too big to be govern by the useless set of Nigerian so-called leaders. The mere act of disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria will start progressive era for the people.

LegendHero:
Below is 1998 PDP presidential primaries result. Even after the larger North conceded to the Yoruba because of MKO issue, the Ibos still contested against OBJ and same thing was done for Falae in AD before the merger with APP.

Same people will now come today to guilt trip uninformed Yoruba liberals forming woke online by saying the Ibos supported us.

—Obasanjo 67.98%

—Ekwueme 21.36%

—Don Etiebet 4.35%

—Graham Douglas 2.91%

And the rest shared the remaining.

It good you posted what happened during the primaries. When the general election approached, Yoruba abandoned Obasanjo while Igbo saw him to the presidential seat. Yoruba went for Olu Falae.

No wonder this dumbass fool has not stood for anything even for his gubernatorial mandate. It is universally accepted that political patronage determines political support. The useless PDP reneged on its connotational format of rotation. My grandfather told me that a person does not stand at one place to watch masquerade.

Good to know most Nigerians have not twisted out of human form that a head coach from a certain ethnicity loaded the team with players from his/her ethnic group. It shows the silly noise of dominance of Nigerian teams by certain ethnicity via certain coach was mainly sourced from a certain ethnic group.

Our leaders are very wicked...they dont care for common man...wasting public found anyhw without atom of remorse

Why would so-called leaders care when the common man is compound idiot?

Something is about to happen in the shithole called Nigeria.

MomentMan:
What about Ideato,Mgbbe and Uruala road?

Owerri Mbaise Umuahia road is all about Inter-State connection. The bolded is very local and I guess attention should be extended when the work on Intra-State connection commences.

As of 1976 when East Central State was divided into Anambra State and Imo State, Anambra State had 4 bone fide urban cities namely Onicha, Enugu, Nsukka and Abakaliki. While Imo State had Aba, Owerri, Umuahia, Afikpo, Orlu and Okigwe. In 1991, Anambra state was divided into Enugu and Anambra States. This action left Anambra State with one bona fide urban city, Onicha. However, the selection of Awka as the capital of Anambra State improved the posture of the state on the platform of urban cities. With the creation of Ebonyi State in 1996, Imo State lost Afikpo to the new state while Enugu State lost Abakaliki too.

Owerriboi:
Stop embarrassing yourself

He who cannot name the urban cities in 1936 of the area which later became Nigeria remains an embarrassment.

Owerriboi:
I think you are the one that's ignorant here. The guy said the truth.

You should go back to school and enmesh in "Social Study".

Owerriboi:
The guy you quoted is very correct. Onitsha is the biggest most important city in igboland. Aba is a dilapidated shithole. Owerri and umuahia are glorified villages. Enugu, Awka Asaba, Abakaliki etc, are developing so well too. Abia and imo states are the two worst and most backward states in southern Nigeria

You seem to fall into the guy's idiotic idiosyncrasy. It will be good for Ndigbo if Onicha, Aba, Owerri, Umuahia, Asaba, Awka, Igweocha or Enugu to be bigger than each other at a given time. I do not think either Onicha or Aba is bigger than each other should be a hot point of verbal war on the Internet.

Nchenches:
All these Imo state people here arguing with people from Anambra and Abia states, you know that at least, Anambra has many modern cities taken care of by Anambra state government.
Abia state has Umuahia and Aba, taken care of by Abia state government.
What do you have in Imo? Only Owerri. Every four years, every Imo governor destroys what his predecessors built in Owerri, and starts his own, rural areas near Owerri become ghettos of concrete houses without any social infrastructure.
Imo people, mostly from Owerri, clap, because they are selling Owerri lands for millions of Naira per plot.

The bolded is a statement borne out of ignorance. As of 1966, what became today's Anambra state has only one qualified urban city. With the creation of Anambra State in 1991, Awka became a bona-fide urban city because of capital city status.

0fodirinwa:
In our imo state our useless incompetent governor Ozodigmgba has looted everything in imo state, used state funds to buy a wrist watch worth about $800,000 while imo workers aren't paid and infrastructures are dilapidated. At least Obiano built international airport, international convention centre, roads, stadium, flyovers, bridges, hospitals, schools, etc. Very soon imo indigenes will bundle Uzodinma and throw him in a garbage dumpsite.

You showed intellect worthy of human in the bolded. I would love for Onicha to be bigger than Aba today and Aba to be bigger than Onicha tomorrow and cycle continues. In addition, I had wished the scenario to be extended to other cities in Igboland such as Owerri, Umuahia, Enugu, Asaba, Igweocha, Abakiliki, Afikpo, Orlu, Awka and Okigwe.

copyrites:
Often times I've heard people talk about Tinubu's blueprint and roadmap for Lagos. I've searched everywhere, trying to locate this detailed document but I can't seem to find it.

Where is the roadmap? Are citizens and taxpayers not permitted to see this roadmap? Since it appears as though successive governors are not allowed to birth their own ideas, that document must be so important, citizens shouldn't be in the dark.

Whatever Tinubu envisioned for Lagos in 1999 should be online for every citizens to see. Let's know where and how Ambode deviated from that plan and what to expect from successive governors.


Concerned Lagosian.

[quote author= post=117078280]Today, the suit against OBIdient's rally in Lagos coming up on the 1st of October 2022 came up for hearing . The court objected to the applicant's application to stop the OBIdient's rally coming up on Saturday, the 1st October 2022. The court ruled that we can hold our procession anywhere in the state, and we can march from Lekki pass through the toll gate and to any destination of our choice.
It is a resounding victory. Our legal team was ably lead by Alex Ejiseme SAN standing at my left. On white native, is the Labour Party's governorship aspirant in Lagos State.
The matter was adjourned to 4th of November to hear the substantive suit.
Down is the group photograph of our Legal team in court today.

Dear, OBIdients go out and march, victory is ours!

November1857:
Force PRO To Nigerians: You Have No Right To Respond If A Policeman In Uniform Slaps You

https://dailytrust.com/if-policeman-in-uniform-slaps-civilian-person-has-no-right-to-respond-force-ppro

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that if a policeman should slap a ‘civilian’, the person has no right to retaliate.

AdejobI, who took to his Twitter account, advised any such victim to file a complaint with the law enforcement agency.

Reacting to a viral video of a man dragging a rifle with a policeman during a heated argument, the police spokesman further stated that if a person should assault police personnel in uniform, it would be seen as ‘an act of disrespect to Nigeria.’

He said, “Even if a policeman on uniform slaps a civilian, the civilian has no right to retaliate. More so, if he’s on uniform, it’s an act of disrespect to Nigeria to beat an officer on uniform. The disrespect is not to the policeman but to our nation and it’s a crime as enshrined in our criminal laws.

“So, it’s not a case of what the policeman did that led to it, but the reaction of the civilians who actually assaulted the police. If police assault a civilian, you report and actions will be taken to rebuke him, not to take the law into your hands.” (sic)

Granted the slap on a Police Officer in uniform is a disrespectful act perpetrated on Nigeria however, respect begets respect. Nigeria has failed to dismiss or even discipline Police Officers who assault civilians.

Ijaw have no indigenous territory in Nigeria. Any inch of the land in Nigerian claimed by Ijaw is contestable.
