DOCTORPRESH:
YOU LIE..

OK

bastien:
exactly...... Badt guy

na u Badt pass

deramarks:
ur mind is exaggerated because of ur aim to make a point u kno well dat wha m sayin is a plain truth. Wit no outstretched statement

u know well dat u're trying to console her as well as urself by dat statement. Seriously if u merit d admission dey ll giv u. Don't u know it increases d image of d sch 2 produce intelligent students? Y do u think d likes of ABU, OAU, UI, UNIBEN are rated d best schools in Nigeria, because of d kinda brain boxes dey've produced. No sch would c an intelligent result and nt admit d person.

bastien:
lol I can't answer those questions ooh.... All I know is that she scored high

den u shouldn't castigate d sch, others might av scored higher.

U can't obviously tell her d truth, jst tell her wot she wants to hear, and dat is "dey cheated u, u should av gotten admission". My regards 2 her sha.

deramarks:
Me too I was not admitted afta passing uniben's post utme itz not fair they neglect d intelligent ones and dey admit d ones dat paid dem I just wish buhari will come nd fyt corruption in uniben their own is too much sha tell her to take heart av been cryin here too but doesn't solve ma problem I can't sue dem because u can't take a mad man to a madman u just have to dance to d tune of d music just let's b wise nxt time

are u telling me dat if u didn't sit for jamb at all as long as u av money u'll enta any federal university?

bastien:
well baba u are harsh ooh, she applied for history and international studies, I no see that kind course as competitive course ni, her jamb combination dey correct.. . Why the school remove the jamb reg number for their site when the first list show? Because people with high score check some candidate score con realise say them score pass many of them for merit list. The school na scam

Bros dis isn't a matter of being harsh. U can't tell me 238 in Jamb is a merit score, 4get her 292 in PUTME, her aggregate shld b around 265 and dat in my own opinion isn't a merit score. U know what merit means?? Besides, if she really got a merit score, jamb would av given her admission b4 d sch admission list came out. Which state of origin did she apply with? How many students apply for her course? How many did dey admit? Wot is d lowest score dat was admitted in2 d department 4rm her state. If u can provide answers 2 these questions den I'll believe she was truly robbed off her admission.

bigwallace:
lol, I laugh at your ignorance let's call a spade a spade wt is bad is bad,our football won't grow with this win at all cost mentality.the real u17 re in our secondary schools,just roger that.

so we should instead use doze secondary school boys abi??
Clap for urself

Binb:
Nigeria beat Brazil 3:0 at the just concluded U-17 world Cup , Do you honestly believe the Super Eagles can beat Brazil senior national Team 3:0?

Nigeria u-17 beat Mexico 6:0 in 2013, do you think Super Eagle can beat their Mexican counterpart 6:0?!

we already know u're ignorant of wot u're saying, stop proving us right

Benz4pimp:
Most peepz typing thrash don't even know how that MRI works,it's never done by FIFA,it is done by local football bodies.to scale through,all you need is eat fruits and cereals for 1 month or more and you will scale that test.

do u know wot MRI scan mean sef? Go and bring a 50year old man and feed him with fruits and cereals for 2months, I guess he'll pass d test too.

“Yakubu is 25 but a Nigerian 25”—Everton Manager, David Moyes in 2008.

“I don’t see Nigerian football getting out of the quagmire, the problem it is in, today, is because corruption is getting deeper and deeper. From time to time we get flashes where we do well in some competitions with overage players and we celebrate.
That was one of the issues I looked at; we can’t keep using overage players. We used over-age players for junior championships, I know that. Why not say it? It’s the truth. We always cheat. It’s a fact. When you cheat, you deprive the young stars that are supposed to play in these competitions their rights.”— NFA Chairman, Anthony Kojo Williams, in 2000.

JULIUS Agwu is one of my favourite comedians in Nigeria .I love his feminine voice,the crispness of his jokes as well as his delivery. Anytime I am boarding a flight and I call my wife,I usually say “abodu ala o”.I picked that from Julius.He cracked the joke about a flight attendant going around the lounge to announce an aircraft boarding because the public address system was not working during the renovations of the Enugu airport .

The Igbo lady was saying: “A Lagos abodu ala o” There was a passenger billed to fly that plane who did not understand a word in Igbo and therefore sat put while other passengers went to join the queue. About an hour later he went to the A… counter and asked why they had yet to make a boarding call only to be told that the plane had since departed “I went round shouting abodu ala” came from the flight attendant as if every passenger must understand her native tongue.

But his joke that is relevant to what I am discussing today is the one where he talked about some Nigerian team training for an age-grade competition near his house and how he went to one of the players to ask for his age and the response he got was: “Our coach has not given us our age”.

We have just “conquered” the world again in Chile and the drums are rolling in celebration of our lack of character and integrity as a people. Our infinite capacity to conspire in falsehood and pretend that all is well when the reverse is the case is once more being demonstrated even when we don’t blink in reciting our

NATIONAL PLEDGE:

“I pledge to Nigeria my country To be faithful,loyal and HONEST”

We say these and all the other lines(read LIES) even when no one believes in them. We have mastered the art of saying something and doing another because the very foundation of our country is a concrete of lies. Every action we take is built on falsehood because we just can’t do it right. Cheating our ways to corner undeserved advantages has become a national culture because we have not been able to construct a national vision.

After 55 years we still cannot count ourselves because an accurate census would minimise our ability to cheat. Our examinations have become a farce as parents even buy questions for their wards and pay for admissions. We beat traffic rules if there is nobody in sight to enforce them.Our politicians forge certificates to contest elections. Our vote counts conflict with actual vote cast. Judges take bribes to pervert Justice. Priests and Imams negate moral values. The “how “ no longer matter to us and yet we pray that our country should succeed .

We can occasionally have some fake success but not good success because we break all the rules of success as natural cheats. We deploy kids to vote in elections where adults should participate when we want to cheat internally and assemble adults to go and compete with kids globally when we want to cheat internationally. This is why we are celebrating 22 men who went to an unequal competition with only whispers about the actual ages of our boys.

Physical appearance
Mere physical appearances of our boys should tell any honest person that the suspicion about true ages of some Nigerian footballers which made FIFA to ban the country from all international fixtures for two years after finding that the birth dates of three of our players in the 1988 Olympics were different from ones used by the same players in previous tournaments is still very much with us.

Nigeria has over the years paraded promising “ youngsters” who mysteriously failed to fulfill their potential in the senior teams. Phillip Osondu was the best player at the 1987 Under-17 World Cup, after which he was signed on by Anderlecht, only to drift out of the game and into janitorial work after questions were raised about his real age. Femi Opabunmi shone brilliantly when Nigeria played in the finals of the Under-17 competition in 2001 and was officially the third youngest player in the senior team when he featured in the 0-0 game with England during the 2002 World Cup. But by 2005 he had expired doing only part-time soccer in some unrated team in lower rungs of the French league.

Adokiye Amiesimaka questioned the inclusion of Golden Eaglets captain Fortune Chukwudi during the 2009 Under 17 championship . Amiesimaka in an unusual candor bared his mind after Nigeria’s opening 3-3 draw with Germany at the Abuja National Stadium on October 24. “In the 2002/2003 season, I was chairman of Sharks Football Club of Port Harcourt. I decided to have a feeder team of fresh school leavers not older than 20 years.

One of my key players then is the current captain of our so-called Under-17 Golden Eaglets. By his own admission at that time, that is seven years ago, he was 18 years old…If we are not utterly irresponsible, how can he be eligible for this tournament when he is not less than 25 years old now?” Amiesimaka wrote in the Punch newspaper. Chukwudi played till the Eaglets final match and fizzled out thereafter. But since corruption is official in Nigeria,there was no whimper from our officials .
I read on The Cable in June this year of how Taye Taiwo’s twin sister allegedly celebrated her 39th birthday the day Taiwo was doing his own 27th.There was also the story of Samson Siasia cutting the cake of his 30th wedding anniversary at the age of 47!

About the most hilarious was that of Dele Ajiboye who exposed the lie over his age when he featured in the Under-17 tournament in 2007″.In the chat(with Soccer Star) the Golden Eaglets gold medal-winning goalkeeper in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2007 inadvertently revealed he was older than he claimed eight years earlier. When asked about his role model as a professional goalkeeper, the Kwara United keeper revealed the person without much fuss. “I have many role models.

Anyone I learn from is my role model,” he said. “I could remember when I was still a young boy, I do watch Peter Rufai and I learnt a lot from him.” Ajiboye is 25 now and 17 in 2007, but we doubt he was referring to the Peter Rufai of 1998 World Cup. Nobody learnt anything fruitful and meaningful from Rufai of 1998. Even Ajiboye at age eight couldn’t have learnt anything worthy from the fumbling Dodo Mayana except, of course, how to make cheap goals look spectacular. Then, we are assuming Ajiboye was referring to the Rufai of 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup. But in 1994, Ajiboye was four!”
James Spencer in an article traced age fraud in the Premier League to African players: “Age fraud came to prominence in the Premier League from the mid-1990s onwards, as clubs began looking more and more at emerging African players. Several former Premier League players from Nigeria alone have been suspected of such misrepresentation.

Nwankwo Kanu is a legend of African football and became a cult hero in England playing for clubs like Arsenal and Portsmouth. The tall forward won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995, but was always suspected to be as much as nine years older than his stated age. Speaking in 2010, Harry Redknapp jokingly exaggerated that Kanu was 49, though given how he described ever increasing ailments and the need for treatment, there seemed to be a shred of authenticity to his words.

Former Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins was also at the centre of an age row. The player had spectacularly burst onto the scene with Inter Milan as a youngster, but failed to make the most of his talent, suggesting he could already have been much older than stated. In 2005, while Martins was still in Italy, the Nigerian Football Federation claimed he was actually born in 1978, though his player registration stated it was 1984.

National failure
Similar stories also exist for both Jay-Jay Okocha and Taribo West who plied their trade in the Premier League for Bolton Wanderers and Derby County, respectively.

Throughout his career, Okocha was rumoured to be 10 years older than his official age. Following his departure from Derby in 2001, West allegedly told Partizan Belgrade that he was only 28, though given the state of his body the club had strong suspicions that he was 40.

It may not occur to us that our national failure is the sum total of all these little acts of dishonesty .I recall a Dutch-journalist friend of mine who I was driving along the Airport Road in 1998 and saw a fellow peeing on the road. He looked at the guy and said to me: “If that man cannot see anything wrong urinating on the roadside,he would do other 1000 things that are not right and would not see nothing wrong”.

We shall engage in this hollow rituals of celebrating our “victory” but we know in the inner recesses of our minds that is all a fluke because we didn’t do it right. Scoundrels posing as patriots would even abuse this writer for writing the truth. That majority is wrong should not desist the minority that is right from saying it as it is.

The truth must be told even if heavens fall: It is only righteousness that exalts a nation.

Bros, u've raised some valid points up there. But the truth is dat if we try to use our real U-17, a century to this tym, we'll neva qualify for African U-17 championship nt 2 talk of d World cup. They tried it in 2011 and we were eliminated at d early stage of d qualification series. When I was 17 I couldn't kick ball from d goalpost to the Centre line effectively bt I was somehow d best among my peers around dat period. I joined d National U-20 team to train before their world cup in New Zealand, guess wot d Coach Manu Garba and his assistant Ndukka Ugbade told me, dey said I play absolutely fantastic football but I seriously need to hit d gym and build myself up, dat my level of strength cannot take me anywhere. Mind u, I'm more dan 20 o.
Europeans generally develop rapidly dan Africans, it's not our fault if u ask me, it's our slow nature of physical development.

Dragonking:
How silly? So representing your country is not professional? So the super eagles are not professionals because they play for the country? Do you know if they played in other clubs before the tournament..... It is not a must they must play for Chelsea or barca before they are tagged as professionals... Do you know that once your country don't call you for football, you club career is as good as over(unless you retire for the national team)...Go and find out why the recent man utd keeper had to resign a new contract with the club when he was told that he want play for the country if he sits on the bench at club level.

in d footballing world, I don't think those boys are professionals yet

Missy89:
He is a dumb fuk. dont waste your time. Fifa only conducts MRI on players selected randomly and less than 20 percent of the competing players go thru the test

are u talking from experience?
Cos 4rm wot I know, all d players are tested b4 going 2d competition and certified U-17, FIFA or CAF only test those dat dey suspect 2b above d age limit.

OrlandoOwoh:
You're right. I remember one of our girls who attends a US football academy, whether in falcon or falconet, I can't remember, she rejected a monetary gift last year. She was part of our female team that won a competition. She hinged the rejection on a policy in her academy.

dat's Courtney Dike, she said d opportunity given to her wear dat Jersey is enough.

Aystarz:
The only joke here is you. For crying out loud, those lads should be grateful for being given the platform to showcase their talents to the world. Tottenham wants one of our thanks to the privilege given to these players(the lad in question was once a gala seller oo) . I would've argued in favour of scholarships for each one of them, but how many young sportsmen in Nigeria wants to pursue an education these days? All they are interested in is quick money, the fame and the glory. They should thank their stars for having been given the honour to don the green and white.

if I say God should bless u it's an understatement. U get head bros

bastien:
thanks boss, if you have the email address please share with me, as for the suing stuff if it's me I will,I don't know if her parents will agree to that.....

which course did she apply? U guys don't even know how admission processes are done? On what basis do u want 2 sue d school? It's nt as if it's on their website or dey publicized it dat anyone who scores 230 and above in jamb will b given admission. She scored jst 238!! U know whether sum1 who applied d same course 4rm d same state scored higher Dan dat? U beta talk sense in2 her head. Jamb form is out again, let her obtain another one and study seriously hard and choose a university dat has her state as part of their catchment area. Good luck to her

69MissedCalls:
lol. 20k? this our govt stingy o. when Jonah dey give house these ones they give a whole world cup winners recharge card money it's not fair.. seriously

I'm nt in support of dat little amount, I doubt d authenticity of d news anyway. I remember London 2012 Olympics, USA gave a statement to their athletes telling dem nt to expect remuneration if dey win any medal be it Gold or Silver. They should consider it a service 2 their fatherland and their own personal achievement. Everything is nt money.


The platform Nigeria av given those boys is enough 2 sustain dem 4d rest of their lives if they remain focused. They've been marketed already.
