What's a true African mother?
There are different levels of feminism. There is one that wants the woman to take over from the men more like an exchange of roles. That's the one I'm opposed to, and one that will not stand the test of time if it ever happens because the family structure will be brought to nothing.

iSlayer:
All these you're saying is just a consequence of Westernization and growing Eurocentrism. This thing you're saying is not US. I can say it's not African. And definitely it's not the Igbo life chaachaa. A woman can climb to the highest level and yet be a true AFRICAN mother. They are numerous who have achieved it. This ploy to do away with the family or to reduce it's significance among Africans is not good.

The Urhobo tradition is not far too different.
The problem is when some men think that they are the best thing that can happen to a woman else she is finished. Women do not need validation from men. Men need women as much a women need men. But it is the "what people will say" factor that really affects lots of women from our part of the world. Like you noted subtly, it's a civilization thing. Many of our views are not unique to us considering what obtains in other climes in times past.

safarigirl:
the only reason you think like this is because you are not Igbo and you have been exposed to Western ideals. If you are Igbo, you cannot reason like this.

In Igbo land, women are viewed as chattel, to be passed on from their fathers to their husbands. Much like how English women were viewed in the Victorian era.

I am just glad my father had no such training, his mother was the first female graduate from the East, so, she was not trained to be a doormat. He is well aware of what a woman should aim for; he constantly tells us that marriage should not be the aim of anyone, rather, financial independence and self sufficiency. If you cannot be useful to yourself, is it in a man's house you will be useful?

I'm just waiting for a third person to see it first.

share the link abeg, have searched online but got nothing

they are only almost "unmarriable" in certain parts of the world. But it's not like marriage is an achievement. Marriage is another stage in life that comes with some unique responsibilities.

iSlayer:
My brother this virtues go hard for some people o. It all comes around to what I said at the first instance to Omanbala on how ladies with a feminist mentality today are unmarriable. They're chasing SHADOWS.

I pray he gets the job

charlesemeka85:
Former Super Eagles winger Emmanuel Amuneke has applied for the vacant Zambia national team, the Chipolopolo head coach job, Completesports.com reports.

Amuneke, who scored both goals in the Super Eagles 2-1 win against the Chipolopolo in the final of the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations last managed the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.

The 48-year-old left the role by mutual consent following the Taifa Stars elimination from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt where they lost all their three group games.


The former Barcelona player guided Nigeria’s U-17 side, the Golden Eaglets to win the FIFA U-17 World Cup at Chile 2015.

The likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Francis Uzoho, Isaac Success and Taiwo Awoniyi were part of the team that conquered the rest of the world in the competition.

Amuneke also once had stints with defunct Julius Berger and Ocean Boys as well as Sudanese club, Al Khartoum SC.

I don't think his form has even been in doubt whenever he is given a run of games.

charlesemeka85:
with iorfa's current form i think its time he is given a chance in the super eagles

Very good point. Many of us here believe that we need to go back to our way of doing things. I believe they were possibly a number of better talents who were never discovered. If school sports down to the primary school level is taken seriously, when we go scouting the focus would be kids in the streets who do not go to school. And of course we have the football academies as well. When we separate education from sports we have a big problem.

AndSunGorilla:
I listened to Osimhens interview on YouTube and his discovery was by accident not through any structured process. He mentioned how someone encouraged him to for for U17 trials in lagos and according to him, he saw millions of people (of course he exaggerated) at the agege stadium and at the end of the day, Amuneke said no trials except if they travel to Abuja. So first attempt Vic was not even given a chance to show himself. He didn't give up and he found a way to go for the Abuja trials. Again he said too many people in Abuja, according to him, they had 15mins to play a game and show their skills, Amuneke wasn't interested in him but the team doctor spotted him and told Amuneke to watch him closely and thereafter the rest became history. My learning points are 1) what if Victor didn't have the means to go to Abuja and thereafter forget the trials?
2) what if the team dr. Didn't spot him?
My point is, thousands of talents are constantly wasting away because we don't have structures that can discover them on a regular basis. When there is no structure or defined methodology for doing anything, randomness and sheer luck becomes the order of the day. We need an NFF and sport ministries up till local government level to develop clear strategies to discover the numerous talents we have as many dreams must definitely have died in our beloved country. Here's the interview

I saw it too

charlesemeka85:
i can't find it anywhere online

Another MOTM performance from Dominic Iorfa

if that's the case make NFF no dey make mouth.

tbaba1234:
I believe they pulled out at some point with all the NFF crisis.. I know they threatened to.

This kind beating na wa.. Eze's average ratings has been dropping lately

I will give him a 7/10. He had a couple shaky moments giving away the ball towards the end

modified
I watched the second half

Blueelf:
You watched the match right?

How was he overall?

lol

ChrisKels:
According to ur friend's usual illation and doctrine of analogy, a good number of lowly rated Astana Players wouldn't make the Man United youth teams

I believe so. I thought it was a 5 year contract with NFF.

tbaba1234:
Is the sponsorship still alive?

Meanwhile Zuby started for IB and they are getting beat at home to Roma 3-0
too many matches to keep up with

Final Scores

Alkamaar 2-2 Partizan
Feyenoord 2-2 Rangers
Besiktas 2-1 Bratislava

Alkmaar now on level terms lol

Man U featured quite a number of teen players though.

ChrisKels:
And a Kazakhstan club just walloped the pride of Britain - Manchester United

Astana is in fourth position in the Kazakhstan league table. The Kazakh league is rated 25th in Europe while the EPL is second behind laliga. Astana isn't even in the top 50 of the UEFA Coefficient Ranking while Man United is 11th

Reffree having a torrid time in Istanbul.

Rabiu's passes a precise

Besiktas score at last..
Besiktas 1-1 Bratislava

Im not watching that game at the moment, but his ratings look good. it's still 2-0 away in their favor

ChrisKels:
Hwfa Sadiq Umar? Update us please

Rabiu is a beast!!!

With Rohr, I agree because of his age

Blueelf:
His chances of making the Super Eagles are very slim

Rabiu dey ball abeg

Watching Rabiu Ibrahim now away to Besiktas. Bratislava lead 1-0

it's a naija thing. Use workers money invest.. when the investment don pay, then you pay your workers salary. Dem dey use Rorh salary dey do business.

Blueelf:
No wonder

NFF can pay. But will they pay on time? That's the koko. Rohr has been dealing with that. Many other foreign coaches won't. As much as we criticize Oliseh's managerial abilities, Oliseh is one guy that does not take nonsense. He believe he has equal rights as any other white coach.

charlesemeka85:
and what makes you think the nff can pay houghton?

While a Scottish team is losing away to a Dutch Club, Partizan is beating a Dutch club away. I wonder what komekn would say to that.

hahahaha. I didn't say AITEO pays Rohr DIRECTLY.

Blueelf:
Obviously its not. If it was, they wouldn't be owing

Partizan lead Alkmaar away 2-0 at half time. Sadiq pressed the opponent's gk and that contributed to their second goal.

no be AITEO dey pay Rohr wages?

tbaba1234:
NFF can't pay.. Salisu Yusuf and Imama will become the managers
