Saudis pushed forward but repelled once again.

Jarus:
How do Saudi Arabia qualify for World Cups?

Their attack is so poor. No bite.

Broda Jarus. They're hungry. Make them bite you?

mansakhalifa:
These same Saudis[not this same squad though] got mauled 8-0 by Germany in Japan/Korea 2002.

I felt bad for the Saudi players back then. But they were graceful in defeat. Make I go dig out my VHS tape of that match joo.

EMIOMOADEOYE:
This is how Croatia will dissect us.

The Arabs are leaving way too much space in defence. That is exactly the same problem the Super Eagles have. If we cant maintain shape in defence, we will be easy prey for Croatia's high pressure game.

Our Counter Attacks need to have that cutting edge. The Croatia I saw against Brazil. That is the only way we can beat them.....perfectly executed counter attacks

Croatian are beasts. But I'm going with Naija 2-1 Croats. Hope and a prayer.

Russians almost scored again. Good defense by Saudis.

Still waiting for the day Nigerian Muslims w separate Religion and Football.

Take your ignorant religious bigotry bullshit somewhere else!

ikorodureporta:
D opening ceremony still dey baffl me

Yeah, who was that first guy singing? It'd have been better if they showed more traditional Russian music too so we could appreciate their culture. Or did they? Missed most of it while battling with my entertainment center when I accidentally cut off the audio.

BrutusOj:
Did Saudi Arabia import Africans to play for them ni?

They have a lot of Brown and Black people there. Did you ever see the old king Fahd's cousins?

It appears this thread previously made front page but the subsequent one then made front page when it was created. And it's been pushed to front page again today.

I'm cool with the original joo.

I was so stoked for the Naija match I went to sleep thinking it was today.

But settling in now to watch Saudis on a giant screen. Enjoyment. . I picked the local Spanish channel over Fiox English channel cos it's so much more fun with the Latinos, mehn! . Is it sunset in Russia yet? Cos I know Saudis must fast no matter what. God help them. I can't imagine playing footie for 90 minutes on an empty stomach.

See ya all on the Saudi-Russki thread!

And Russki bears score!

comshots:
That judge who passed that death sentence on the accused is a Fulani herdsmen sympathiser.He own's a herd of cattle as buhari and buratai.

So you think it's okay to kill a human being because you hate their tribe?

What if you were killed in cold blood? Is it okay to let the murderer go free because you're in the wrong tribe or group?

anuoluwapo884:
Make una allow MKO rest abeg everything is settled

Everything is not settled, brah. There is never a statute of limitations on murder.

So he's comparing SAI Buhari to a donkey?

BTW, didn't FFK change his name to Femi Olu-Kayode?

ShedrachU:
it's reverse brother, I dreamt of we winning 2 v 1.
I think you're scared...

I didn't dream this but I also feel that it will be Nigeria 2-1Croatia. Lagbara Olorun. Amin!

Kyllahmc:
I don't wanna get this old... 65yrs is even enough for me.. considering I have lived my life to the fullest.

You're very young, no doubt. Probably not even 25 years old. My Word! What a thing to say!

The man looks somehow because of the grey hair and and dark attire on top dark skin. Nothing wrong with him. Black people need bright colored clothing.

maasoap:
The game itself is yet to begin. It's not out of place if we're discussing fashion for now. Be happy for now until the real frustration starts. Lol.

True talk, my brother.

The first two weeks are fun times! After that it's depression and frustration and jumping from one team to another surviving team.

olasaad:
Yes I know but its look dull on them

Brighter blue would have been better. Aren't Senegalese the Mallams that wear that beautiful shade of blue we love so much?

Love them. They're humble people. Hope they go far.

I'll be rooting for them and Super Chickens Eagles.

P.S. Naija clinched the best dressed honors with the super cool hats.

All dudes!

Tonason:
My only concern in this whole saga is the WhatsApp conversation snapshot where one Toyin was discussing about buying a girl for 8.5M for rituals, the police should investigate this matter very very well.

Where's the snapshot? This is the 2nd time I've heard of this? It is serious if true.

luminouz:
N what's so special about sounding like the British??
U need to watch Bollywood n Hollywood movies to see Indians doing their thing!!!
Be proud of your mother's tongue!!! Besides she didn't do too badly with her pronunciations,it's just her motherland accent that was a bit evident but hey!! At least she is real n it's her native accent!!!

I dumped a NL geh who wanted me,disturbed me and even chased me,just cuz she said her number one priority in a man is the ability to speak good English....I was dumbfounded....she clarified she would have ignored me if I hadn't spoken good English!! I stopped picking her calls/replying her chats from that day. Does good English speaking skills make me a good man?? Wakanda stewpid stuff is that

Please sir, who's the "NL geh"? Pretty please! Just the first and last initials and in what section she sojourns.

Lollipop247:
Who else didn't bother to play the video??

Ditto. This one is just an attention seeker. She looks nothing like Toyin the dress shop owner in Dallas.

Aderewah:
A lot of Africans are sympathising with Salah because his country is geographically located in Africa. The thing is Salah as well as other Arabs don't consider themselves the same with us black Africans. To hell with Salah. I hope Portugal wins.

Hala madrid

Egypt over Portugal any day!

I knew before I opened the thread it was a white guy.

The company you keep.

buhariguy:
My problem is only for terorist ipobs who hates any good thing in Nigeria.
And the meaning of terrorist aggressive ipob .
I for idiotic,
P for pig
Of
B for biafra.

Honestly I think Igbo people have a legitimate grievance. They are somewhat marginalised in Nigeria and have been for some time. I know a lot of people disagree but that is what I see. The longer it is ignored the more radicalized the people become. I've said it here on Nairaland for years.

Ultimately the Biafran supporters may relent as quickly as Nigeria starts addressing their grievances and making them feel included.

What I object to is tribal and religious hate on any group, and anarchists inflaming an already heated nation. Whether done by Igbos against Muslims and Northerners or Yoruba against Igbos.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
But his sack will go a long way. We are yet to see the promised mobilization for boycott of Vanguard which is annoying.

I don't want him sacked. It's Vanguard the entity that's the problem, not one man actualizing their ideology. He's only doing his job.

ItsMeAboki:
What an insincere bigot; how could serial posts of insults and hate uploaded at different times and dates amount to an off hand remark?
The Nyamiri is only trying to save his job - thats all.

I read his full apology. While words are cheap and the real show of remorse is in repentance and atonement, I do think he is sincere. Let's forgive and forget. It's gonna be Eid in a few hours!

Simbrixton:
Apology rejected

We have to forgive others so we can also be forgiven.

buhariguy:
i am very civic, my wife is an igbo , I graduated from unizik.
I can never hate any tribe.
As a man of God, is a sin to hate anybody base on tribe,religion and region.

Cool beans, bro! A sibling married a nice Lagosian Igbo a decade ago and they're going strong with 2 lovely happy and well mannered children!

I tend to go hard on NL Yorubas who attack Igbo people, not because of my in-law and nephews but because I vividly remember while growing up in Lagos Mainland how wonderful our Igbo neighbors, the Igbo teachers and especially my fellow Igbo students in my secondary school were. I know Naija has changed a lot.

buhariguy:
Apology accepted,

But I have be following you for the past 20yrs and you have be like this since I have be following you,
You are simply a bigot and ethnocentric.
Who still behave like those kids in this forum.
Those aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of biafra

Actually you insulted Igbos too.
I didnt notice that with my first response.

SirToby:
he was a little bit sincere with his apology this time compare to the shadow apology he made the other time. i guess he was forced to do so and i sense he's still gonna be punished.
As regards vanguard, ochereoma has exposed their underground hatred that has been lingering for long. All eyes on them now.

deji17:
I think the Nnana guy is actually the cancer attacking the cells of Vanguard Newspapers with his bigotry. Once he is gone the rest of the staffs that he has inflected will sit tight.

Thanks for the above.

I'm not easily offended by mere words. I couldn't care less about his comments about Yoruba or Igbo musicians. I saw some of that here on Nairaland and I had no problem with it. If one group is getting all the awards it's only honest and sincere to point it out whether in a sarcastic, joking or serious manner.

For example, I was not offended by Roseanne's comments and didn't think her show should have been cancelled. She is a comedian and they have a very hard edge and troubled mind. That's why they're funny. ABC networks fired a comedian for an offhand comment despite their network promoting filth and indecency with perennial shows like Bachelor and many offensive programming. Hypocrisy!

I had no problem with Trump's sh!thole comment because I know people get very candid when negotiating or discussing serious issues. Furthermore, Trump has always been caustic and is known for "cussing" language. Naijas are not fragile people who crumble like origami when someone talks trash at us. We say worse about our country!

So, my problem is not with any ONE comment of Mr. Nnanna specifically and I have no interest in him being sacked. My issue is with the escalating threat of violence in Nigeria which is stoked by some people and organisations like Vanguard (with him at the helm) which are really propaganda machines masquerading as news journals. It has been going on for years under many guises and I believe it is intended to lead to armed conflict between the tribes. You can see evidence of it here on Nairaland.

My criticism is for those whose aim it is to demonize any group of Nigerians, whether their target is Fulani herdsmen, Muslims, Lagosians or Igbo traders and settlers.
