Fly arik air. Fantastic service. Take it from me a trial will convict you. Your luggage will never be the same

smh.

I heard they're actually not bad.

I have never done an African airline on international route, but considering doing for the first time this December/January.

Can anyone that has flown one, two or all of these 3 airlines review (and probably rank) them.

Thanks.

Well, i concur totally. I doubt even god would have saved you.
Nigeria has suffered enough in the hands of Argentina, its high time we return the favour.

My greatest desire is to be drawn with Argentina and Portugal in the group stage.

Be careful of what you wish for.

The major revelations from this match

1, More competition in defence. Ebuehi and Idowu were outstanding. Ekong was the only regular defender that did well. Shehu and Aina not convincing.

2, The Deportivo keeper should be promoted to first choice. He exuded confidence.

3, Mikel plays well in big games vs European/American opposition. His experence and confidence cant be wished away.

4, Ihenacho and Iwobi deserve automatic starting shirts.

#BringBackEnyeama

Same Enyeama that conceded 3 goals against same Argentina?

Same Enyeama that his club has thrown out?

He is no doubt better than these guys but we need to move on.

Lol. He has been playing that from the qualifiers man. Onazi, ndidi and mikel have been his 3 man midfield during qualifying. That's 3 defensive midfielders. Onazi is injured what stops him from experimenting with an attacking mildfielder to play alongside mikel and ndidi. Mark my works if he continues that 3 man defensive mildfield we would come back home after the group stage because we can't create enough.

Mikel doesnt play as a DM in Eagles.

Our players lack confidence, especially from midfield to the back to the keeper.

They are shaking, star struck with Aguero, Di Maria et al.

Ihenacho's goal is world class though.

LuvU2:
I have no faith in Nigerian players. God help me for my unpatriotic position rty now. This is nt even a goal keeper problem. Was there any time Nigeria defeated Argentina or passed WC first stage #crying.

Nigeria has actually passed WC group stage more times than not.

When playing against a South American team, you dont commit foul (and allow free kick) anywhere close to 25 yards.


They are not Africans that get 10 free kick chances in a game and dont convert any.


Brazil, Argentina, dont try that with them. That's thirr strength.

Christiano Ronaldo's lesson!
When he received one of his awards recently, Ronaldo dedicated it to a certain ... Alberto Fantrau. Then said: "Yes I am a great footballer and all my success is thanks to my friend Alberto"
People looked at each other and said, "Who is this Mr. Fantrau?"

Then Ronaldo went on: "We played together in a youth team. When Sporting of Lisbon recruiters came to observe us, they told us that the striker who scored the most goals will be recruited into the sports academy.

That day we won 3-0. I scored the first goal and then Albert scored the 2nd with the head. And then the 3rd goal was the one that impressed everyone. Alberto started from the wing, then found himself face to face with the keeper, dribbled the goalkeeper and all he had to do was push the ball into the empty goal. In the meantime I was running to his side. And instead of shooting into the empty goal, Alberto decided to pass the ball to me and I scored. This is how I find myself at the Sporting Lisbon Academy. After the game I went to him, and asked him "why did you do that?" And he replied, "Because I know that you are better than I"

Curious to know more, the journalists began to investigate and were able to meet this Alberto Fantrau to ask him if the story told by Ronaldo is true, and he confirmed it, adding that his career as a footballer ended after this....

Myth. Busted on Quora below:

No manager worth his salt chooses a player based on who scores the most number of goals. No one does that.

CR7 says that he was running in front of the Fantrau guy after Fantrau had skipped the keeper. So, when Fantrau passed the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo would have been offside and the third goal would not have stood.

This Fantrau person rounds the keeper and passes to another player, and the manager picks the guy who tapped in the goal into an open net instead of the player who created that goal so skillfully? Say what now?

So, this Fantrau guy is as skillful as Ronaldo and he does not play football? Seriously? Some other manager would have picked him up if he was so darn good.

There is only this mention of Fantrau anywhere. And it's the same story in the same words. If Fantrau means so much to CR7, sure we would have heard more about him.

Ronaldo's move to Sporting in no way resembled what the story says. In 1997, Cristiano's club at the time C.D. Nacional owed Sporting €22,500. They didn't have the money so Rui Alves offered up Ronaldo if Sporting forgot the debt. Sporting weren't keen on the deal, paying that much for a 12 year old. So Nacional convinced a Sporting representative living in Madeira, Marques Freitas, to take him to the mainland and give Ronaldo a trial. There was no championship game, no manager from a big club, no 'the kid who scores the most comes to Sporting' fairy tale.

My wife was robbed in same Oshodi Oke spot 3 years ago. Same method. She lost 70k chain.

4 EPL players in starting line-up. Not bad.

I can see how he "magnets" him.

Nigeria!
However, I don't think metaphysics is admissible in the law court and the police have no right to arrest native doctors without probable cause but this is Nigeria.

That being said I do wonder sometimes, that the "powers" used by these people might be "real", not real in terms of having any "spiritual" inclinations or something like that but may be just may be because of centuries of research by our ancestors, may be there are ancient "technologies" which have been developed to make these things work. For instance, a telephone call on the surface may seem "spiritual" but there are underlying well formulated work that get these things done.

What the police should investigate is this; "are there potentially biological and chemically proven harmful "weapons" that the Dibia possess which can kill a human? It could be a poison extracted from a snake or a poisonous frog or something. Don't forget that it was just a touch of handkerchief on the face of the brother of the current North Korean leader that ended his life in minutes.
In the advanced world they call it chemical/biological weapon and have a practical explaination for it but in Africa we call it juju, but the explaination are left to the gods.

buskie13:
you must be a barca fan,you watch pirlo at all?

When did you start watching football?

I watched both Pirlo and Xavi, the only thing Pirlo does better than Xavi is free kick. Xavi is a better passer of ball.

Ahmedhussain3463:
is a role model to xavi.xavi came to lime light wen pep took over in 2009

For someone that was MVP at Euro 2008?

2009 must be before 2008.

If you live in Nigeria and are reading this now,you are affected.

In my view the second best passer of ball (after Xavi) in the last 15 years.

60 or 40?

Thank God they are "lunching" now.

Better late than getting to dinner time.

Hmnnn

Abori ma bodi.

The FA Cup comparison of Bouazza was hilarious

Only Shoprite bread commands this mumu-ness in Nigeria.

When IBB was very handsome.

The EPL Trophy...besides coaches will be the one doing the voting. it will be a very close one btw Aubameyang, Salah, Moses and Mane. The final shortlist will be the first three. Who doesn't know Okocha was the best in his time but did he win any trophies for club? No. Hence his not winning CAF footballer of the yr.

EvilMetahuman:
fifa top 30 is usually based on popularity of players not exactly there performance for the season.



the likes of diego costa, belloti etc had great season last year, but somewhere somehow, we have the likes of falcao displacing them in top 30.



Compare sadio season and moses season and let's see who deserve it based on the season they both had not how popular a player is.

Mane beats Moses in FIFA WPOTY shortlist, you said it's a popularity contests abi.

Mane beats him again in PFA EPL team of the year 2017 is that popularity contest too?
