There are 3 types of people. Those who are bad and in your face about it. Those who are bad and pretentious, and those who are do not belong to the two aforementioned categories. You cannot lie to my face again and again, and call people names here and there just because they disagree with your position. Refuse to acknowledge glaring facts, resort to countless childish tweetings and then I should like you for that, just because a bunch of others are pretentious?

Blacks killed by cops has a dated history that is rooted on racism. Blacks killed by blacks has a different underlying reason. Just because blacks kill blacks does not justify blacks killed due to racism. You seem not to have any idea about the drug industry. do your research and your eyes will be open. And at the italicized can you back it up with credible sources and not conspiracy theory videos, because I have credible sources loaded for you that supports the contrary.

Uchenna Kanu on 'transitioning from the USA' to Sevilla Samuel Ahmadu Africa Women's Football Correspondent https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/90/35/uchenna-kanu-ps_nguuebrimdn51cyk7ivqldz60.png The US college graduate is beginning her professional football career in Europe as she adjusts to life in the Spanish city Uchenna Kanu has revealed she is enjoying the start of her professional career as she continues to settle into life at Sevilla. The Nigeria international is in her first season at Sevilla having joined this January after completing her four-year college studies in the USA, where she emerged as the all-time top-scorer with 157 goals. She arrived with a reputation as one of Africa’s brightest young prospects after starring in Nigeria's triumph at the Wafu Women's Cup, scoring 10 goals before her Women's World Cup debut in 2019. Things haven’t always gone to plan for the 22-year-old, though, as she adjusts to life in a new country with new team-mates and in a new position during the cancellation due to the global health crisis. "I am in Sevilla right now and I am trying my best to stay safe and stay fit as well," Kanu told Goal with LaLiga. "It’s sad that the situation is like this but I believing in God that everything will be sorted as soon as possible. "I’m doing well, I've my teammates and everyone is helping each other to get through this moment. To start with language, it’s not good and I’ve been struggling with it. "Thanks to God, I have a few people who came from America and speak English on the team, and a few of my coaches as well. They try to help me understand better. "Currently, I am taking Spanish language class, my club provided me with that and with everything else I think I like it here in Spain. I like my team, teammates, coaches and the training sessions have been pretty cool." Before her move to Spain, she featured in four matches at the Women's World Cup last year, with Nigeria, having represented the country at the U17 and U20 Women's World Cup tournaments. In her quest for a full-time professional stint, the Nigerian has left the United States after her graduation with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sports Management to join Cristian Toro's ladies. Since her debut against Barcelona, Kanu has featured in six matches in all competitions for Sevilla, helping the outfit to the Women's Cup semi-finals before the halt due to the coronavirus outbreak. The striker, who is launching her career in Spain admits she is unhappy not scoring a goal yet but is keen to improve with time and deliver many goals in the 2020-21 Primera Iberdrola season. "Transitioning from the US is different, obviously, playing for a college in the US is not the same as playing professionally," she continued. "There is a lot of hard work, more professionalism, a lot of challenge and seriousness. Most of the time, players don’t take it seriously as they don’t want to play pro but just want to play in college and have fun. "It’s been good for me here. I feel like I’m beating myself for the fact that I haven’t scored. However, I have been having some positive comments from people about my performances and contribution to the team. "I am planning on making it better next season and correct all my wrongs this season and get better. Try to score goals and help my team more because I felt like I should have scored a lot of goals - like four goals in six games but that hasn’t happened. "I feel next season will be a lot better with all I’ve experienced and I’m up for the challenge and have high hopes that everything is going to be better and I’m ready to give it my all next season. --goal 1 Like |

Eze is a top-six Premier League player’ – QPR manager Warburton Taiye Taiwo The Nigerian descent is one of the outstanding players at Loftus Road this season and he has been backed to be a good fit in the English top-flight QPR manager Mark Warburton has lauded Eberechi Eze for his consistent performances in the Championship this season. The 21-year-old has been a key player for Rangers this campaign with his contribution of 12 goals and eight assists in 37 league appearances. Earlier this year, QPR’s director of football, Les Ferdinand revealed transfer offers were rejected in January for the playmaker, who is set to enter the final year of his contract at the club. Meanwhile, Warburton has singled out Eze’s enthusiasm for praise and he thinks he can play for the best teams in the Premier League. "I'm loathe, normally, to talk about individual players but he's a young guy that I knew about going into the job but I've been very impressed,” Warburton told Sky Sports. “There's been a lot of media focus, quite rightly, for his performances - he's dealt with that really well. "Last year he had a really hot streak and then tailed off quite significantly. That played on his mind; he knew about that. Again, he's responded this year and he's maintained a level of consistency home and away. "I honestly believe that he's a top-six Premier League player, all day long. I've watched how he is before games - he just can't wait to go and play. "He's relaxed, he's looking forward to it. You watch players who are a bag of nerves before games but not Ebs. "He looks forward to it, responds well to a mistake, he responds well to criticism for a young guy. He gets it." The Anglo-Nigerian will be looking to help 13th-place QPR end the 2019-20 campaign on a good note when the Championship resumes on June 20. On his international future, Eze is yet to decide on either to play for England or Nigeria at the senior level. The London-born player has played for England's U20 and U21 teams, but he remains a target for the three-time African champions having trained with the Super Eagles in March 2017. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has held meetings with the 21-year-old and his family, with NFF president Amaju Pinnick hopeful of having him play for the West African country. --goal 1 Like |

Victor Osimhen: the young Nigerian on a rapid rise to the top By Juliet Mafua BBC Sport Africa 4 hours ago. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/800/cpsprodpb/10C4C/production/_112748686_gettyimages-1164561576.jpg Victor Osimhen celebrates a goal for Lille in Ligue 1. Nigeria international Victor Osimhen may have been named Lille's player of the season earlier this week but don't think that means the 21-year-old is satisfied with his campaign. For when you ask his reaction, the forward's instant response is to bemoan his team's failure to secure a Champions league spot as Lille 'ended' the season in fourth. The club were just a point behind Rennes in France, where third place secures European football at its highest level, with ten rounds left when the season was finished early because of the coronavirus pandemic. "Winning the Lille player of the season was not my target," Osimhen told BBC Sport Africa. "My target was to help the team finish in the Champions League spot. But I want to thank my team-mates and those who voted for me." Osimhen netted eighteen goals and recorded six assists in 31 appearances across all competitions, with his tally of 13 league goals equal to that of Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian superstar Neymar. In what was his first campaign in France, the Nigerian was also named in Ligue 1's team of the season. "I'm really happy - it's a great feeling - I'm here and proving it," said the former Wolfsburg and Charleroi striker. "The league is not as easy as some people think. It's very competitive and you have to play among the best." Such has been Osimhen's form that he is being linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs, including several leading Premier League sides, although it is a move to Italians Napoli that has been creating the most column inches in recent days. Osinhem has denied the reports however, calling for privacy instead as he mourns his late father whose death the young Nigerian revealed late last month. "There's a lot of fake news about me already agreeing a deal with Napoli - it's sickening," he said. "Please disregard any report of transfers involving me on the news. I want to stay mute on all these as I mourn my late father." Osimhen shot into the limelight when starring in Nigeria's Under-17 World Cup triumph in 2015 The death of Osimhen's father, who helped his son settle into European football when travelling with him to his first club on the continent, is particularly poignant for a man who lost his mother at a young age. The footballer grew up in Lagos, sharing one small room with his parents and siblings, and he freely admits that a young life of hardship and survival - sometimes "feeding just once a day" - motivated him to succeed. "Whenever I'm in my free time, I reminisce on the past," he says. "My humble beginning makes me the person I am today - it's me never, never wanting to give up. "So whenever I'm on the pitch, whenever I think about where I'm coming from, my family background, I don't want to relent - I want to make them proud and I want to give my all." Osimhen burst into the spotlight at the 2015 Under-17 World Chile as he clinched the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards while steering the Golden Eaglets to the title. The 16-year-old scored a tournament record 10 goals, netting in every one of Nigeria's games, in a performance that helped earn him Africa's Youth Player of the Year for 2015. His displays in at the World Cup in Chile also earned him a move to Wolfsburg but Osimhen, who turned down Arsenal to play in Germany's Bundesliga, admits to struggling as he slowly adapted to both the league and European football. Osimhen, 21, scored 13 goals in his maiden campaign in France's Ligue 1 After a barren season in which the striker, affected by injury, returned no goals from 16 games, he moved to Belgium where the goals soon flowed - 19 in his first campaign at Charleroi, where he was originally on loan before making the move permanent. "I said some years back that I have a point to prove at Wolfsburg but I couldn't get the chance. Now I'm here and proving it and I'm sending messages across and a lot of them are sending me messages also, calling to congratulate me." Last year, Osimhen joined Lille as a direct replacement for Ivorian international Nicolas Pepe, who had - unlike his replacement - decided to play for Arsenal. Pepe - who cost the Gunners a record £72m - was Lille's player of the year award in 2019, a title Osimhen has now taken, beating off competition from Benjamin Andre and Renato Sanches to claim the individual award. Despite his new fame, wealth and coveted status, the youngster - who made his Africa Cup of Nations debut last year - has managed to stay grounded and he says he spends much of his free time reading motivational messages on social media. "I go to this motivational page on Instagram and save some of the important quotes that I see. In my spare time I go to my saved items and read the quotes - it inspires me," says a rising star who is already inspiring millions himself. Additional reporting by Oma Akatugba. 6 Likes |

The official refused to name the nationalities of the job-seeking foreign coaches. Another official of the NFF who spoke with The Guardian yesterday hinted that the federation had decided to engage a foreigner for the Super Falcons job, thereby ending speculations that the NFF was considering the duo of Florence Omagbemi and Mercy Akide for the job. “We are going for a foreign coach for the Super Falcons’ job,” the official said. “We want to avoid a situation whereby a local coach will be holding us to ransom after getting the job. They always have that attitude of showing off their bad characters after getting the job. We don’t have time for that any longer.” 2 Likes |

Remembering the original Super Eagles Tolu Olasoji 4 Jun 2020 https://bucket.mg.co.za/wp-media/2020/06/206adf7c-nigeria-gettyimages-809436490-scaled.jpg Nigerian footballers, some bare-footed, during a training session at Everton's training ground in Liverpool. A squad of fifteen players, the first time a Soccer team has left Nigeria, will tour the United Kingdom playing top amateur sides. Most of the players prefer to play bare-footed and can still drive a ball over 70 yards without boots. The first time Nigeria’s men’s football team played outside the country, it took them two weeks to reach their destination. They sailed from Lagos to Southampton on board the MV Apapa in August 1949, and every day the 18 players would run around the deck to keep fit. The team was young, having only played its first international match against Gold Coast — now Ghana — in Lagos in 1938. The tour of England, to test their strength against nine English amateur clubs, was its first major foray on the world stage. It started well. The opening game against Marine Crosby Football Club was scheduled for just two days after their arrival. The team wore olive green jerseys and white shorts, and only striker Sokari Dokubu wore boots. A crowd of 6 000 watched the Nigerians — christened the UK Tourists for the tour — register a 5-2 upset. The tour ended with two wins, two draws and five losses. This included a 8-0 thumping by the Athenian League XI, which was largely blamed on the team’s unfamiliarity with football boots. Slippery, wet conditions meant they had to wear them. Segun Adenuga was only seven years old at the time, but already he was hooked on the beautiful game. When he wasn’t playing on the streets of Lagos Island, he was desperately waiting for news on how the team was faring abroad. Match reports would appear in the West African Pilot — a newspaper owned by Nnamdi Azikiwe, who would go on to be Nigeria’s first president — days after the match took place. “They had fantastic sports writers there like Bonam Ekanem,” recalls Adenuga, who became a prominent journalist and sports writer himself. The Nigerian Representative team take a break from their tour of England to watch Tottenham Hotspur play Sheffield Wednesday at White Hart Lane (Barratts/PA Images via Getty Images) The tour would lay the foundations for Nigeria’s eventual success on the international stage, and even resulted in the first transfers of Nigerian players to European clubs. From that original squad, striker Teslim “Thunder” Balogun would play for Peterborough United and Queens Park Rangers, while Titus Okere earned a move to Swindon Town. (Always a stickler for facts, Adenuga points out that Balogun’s nickname belied the finesse that made him so effective, and lamented the misspelling of his name — it should be Tesilimi Balogun). On the way home, Nigeria stopped in Freetown for their first official international away match against Sierra Leone. They lost 2-0 that day, but did win a new nickname: the Red Devils, after the scarlet shirts they wore for that match. The nickname also resonated with Nigeria’s colonial power: “They were under colonial control and they admired their masters, then they wanted a name that they would be using,” said Adenuga. It would be more than a decade before the nickname changed. Only when Nigeria became independent in 1960 did the football team change its name to the Green Eagles, after the colour of the flag and the animal on national crest. This evolved later into the Super Eagles of today — who, according to Adenuga, for all their flair and prowess don’t hold a candle to the trailblazing footballers he grew up with. --Mail&Guardian 11 Likes 1 Share |
