₦airaland Forum

Don’t take life too serious. This is just a forum. People will always have preferences and we are all different.

I am indeed detribalized
There is no one player I have not criticized when they were doing poorly and praised when they had stats to back it up. My record is here. Go and verify.

Your truth is labeling people and making stuff in your head when it’s all flawed.

Marjoribanks:
lol! Who go nominate me?

The last time I was nominated I turned it down cos I could see the hypocrisy on this thread-- You are part of the Super Eagles award organizer/founder, you asked peeps to nominate yet you went ahead to nominate your pals! lol! I don't stand for hypocrisy, my guy!

I just kept quiet then to maintain peace and order.
You people hate the truth but wants a better country.

How can anyone nominate you as a detribalized Nigerian if not man no man? Heee!

I will always tell you guys the truth if you like change if you like don't.

Bro. People when dey relatively new for this thread have no idea of history here.

TheGoodJoe:
Please don't misrepresent me. It is impossible for me to be tribalized. I am one of the few in the whole nairaland that was defending Sadiq Umar with my full chest. Remember me posting a video of Musa Yahaya and saying he was my best talent in Iheanacho's U17 team.

This Tinubu boy don start to find trouble again. I dey wait who go nominate u.

Marjoribanks:
Fantastic suggestion! But your nominations?
Joebie and TheGoodjoe detribalized?

For good behavior, of course TheGoodjoe and Komekn all day! but detribalized? naaa!

lol thank you boss. I dey come with my nominations.

TheSuperNerd:
A nomination for the most detribalized individual(s) on the Great Super Eagles Thread - Best sports thread and finest gathering of football enthusiasts in Nigeria.😎

The truth is people in positions in this country are not patriotic. Everybody playing big man. Them dey “do u know who I am?” on top picking coach?

robosky02:
Always put them in a situation that make it difficult to deliver

Bro thanks but wait o what’s this nomination about?

TheSuperNerd:
Alright. Thank you. Top 3 is great. 75-50-25.

But what exactly is your budget? Coz I didn't even take the data thing into consideration.

You are setting aside 190k for this? 150k for the Top 3 and 20k each to the 2 man committee?

Is that it? The money is your call so think carefully.


Another suggestion:
Please anyone dropping nominations should kindly leave "#Lelion" at the bottom of that post to make the compilation easier for the 2 person committee.


My own Nominations for the award would be:
- Joebie
- TheGoodJoe
- AndrewBaba44

#Lelion

(Trust me guys. It was a hard pick. Several names left out).

For the 2 man committee, I nominate Charlesemeka85 (always active... infact. Na him dey keep the torch burning in my absences) and Maidaboi.

These two will make a fantastic combo for the committee.

I already saw Danielnino00's comment so no need nominating him. He was my first choice actually.



#Lelion

I think the real problem is if u made Africa a country, this would still be a bad result, relatively speaking

mostob:
Giant of Africa

Kai

where my bro Komekn. I hope u safe over there?

daveP:
You fes me sha

Let's see if deja vu will start. Prejudice abi emotivism avi what sef😹

I did say Nwakali’s next move was England. Komekn will have no excuse if he does well in League One 😂

Oil dey ur head wella

tglobal:
Felt a need to step into this, since @majoribanks is suggesting @lovewins was handpicking examples

Neither of these athletes were asked to do what their coaches advised them not to. Professionals do not do that. Also, neither of them was drafted into a race they were not trained for. By the way, I do not know of an instance of Favour not honoring her country's call.



Tebogo has run a lot of 400m meters this year for endurance building. No Nigerian has run Tebogo's 44.29 in 36 years! That is how good he is. Hence, the scenarios are different. I bet you if his coach says no, he would not have attempted it.

I have never heard of any association vetoing an athlete's choice of events, after the said athlete has fulfilled the qualification requirements . The power to do this rests with the athlete and coach alone. The only reason Usain Bolt ran that iconic 100m race in Beijing was because his coach permitted him. (See https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/aug/06/olympics2008.athletics). He persuaded his coach to try the 100m a year before. Yet Bolt was not sure he was going to run the 100m as a world record holder, even with a few weeks left to the games . If his coach had said NO, not even the federation can overturn that!



The events are not cumulative. She is not the first athlete to do the double. Some athletes actually use one to condition and prepare themselves for the other. She earned the right to double up by winning both events at the trials.



I am not sure I get your point here. Neita participated in both 100m and 200m. The rest you listed did not double up because of their performance at the US trials and not because they could not. If they had qualified, they most likely would have run in both categories to expand their chances of an olympic medal.



I believe administrative incompetence is the reason why she was not entered for the 100m and whoever is responsible should be fired from their job. This has happened time and time again. I remember Okagbare and Oduduru being registered for events they were not interested in at the world champs in 2019. It is already becoming a pattern and an embarassment to the nation.

An athlete shouldn't have to worry about whether the administrative tasks of registering for the right events are going to be properly handled. The competitiveness of the olympics requires full focus and issues like this ar enot helpful for peak performance

I have to agree but it can go either way. The US although still an experiment have harnessed their diversity for success. It’s only a matter of time, we’ll see if this will last especially if the liberals dominate

Mujtahida:
I have come to the conclusion that the primary reason why we are where we are is because of this confounding mix of different ethnic groups. That's why I love homogeneous societies. I pity countries that God blessed with homogeneity and they decided to be liberal to the point of introducing alien ethnicities into their midst. Babel is the biblical metaphor for what mixture of languages does. It leads to collapse

I support am since 2021. I no remember o, u get receipts?

I’ve stated the reasons why he is my preferred candidate at this point. Never insinuated he is the best. But if a coach is not really passionate with belief in the team what will he translate to the players? He is still a low grade coach nevertheless based on his achievements

Mujtahida:
Joebie is supporting Saintfiet. In fact he's one of that man's passionate supporters since AFCON 2021. I just dey look am with side eyes.

What we are asking for is out of patriotism. Tonga offered you $150k but we refused out of sheer patriotism. Saintfiet can go and take the Tonga job.

He just came to encourage us na. Lol

Odunayaw:
Go and celebrate with your athletes then and stop being a nuisance

This is the issue with us. You are in danger of missing out from a second consecutive WC and we can’t change.

Self-interest, ego above country.

elyte89:
They might be playing a narrative like d foreign coaches we re trying to engage are too expensive hence we have to settle for a salisu/siasia combo or siasia /salisu combo

Meanwhile me and dlaw dey negotiate $25k monthly salary,dey neva gree and Dlaw don dey anticipate his monthly 2,500$ kickbacks from d salary if he clinch d deal as agreed😊

The story is that Seinfeit’s agent were in Framce, but NFF kept them in limbo because Herve was their top choice.

I’m not surprised the twist.

We will keep going on circles until Cezero leads the team.

lovewins:
Update:

Super Eagles vacant job:

Eric Chelle is back in the race after Tom Sanfeit and Herve Renard's monthly salary requests were $100,000 and $125,000 respectively.

Chelle's English is basic and according to my source he also impressed during the interview session.

My bro the truth be say we cannot do better. It’s better to go for someone who has long wanted to coach us and believes in our potential. I will take that over philosophy from another low grade coach with little belief.

Modified
Let me add that Seinfelt is like a Nigerian (in terms of passion for Naija) but will be given the respect of a foreigner. That last part is the sad reality.

kennysville:
Na because of enthusiasm we suppose dey hire coaches now? abi coaching philosophy?

It's best we get our priorities straight. We want success and we want it now and we are not patient to build a formidable team with the right mentality over a period of years. Na so so cut and join we dey do.

Why are we like this in this country? We dey watch sha

Seinfeit is the best option. We can pay him and he is PASSIONATE about the Naija project. Still a low grade coach but he has the enthusiasm we need. I hope we engage him and give him time.

What story is not true? You really think Herve will come down on his salary demand? Herve knows his worth. He has never taken Naija seriously.

JohnBullMySon:
I think the Herve Renard story may not be true.

🤣 move on bro. I have nothing more for YIU.

Marjoribanks:
I don't understand this mofo ooo! You said I just entered yesterday, how do you expect me to understand? Are you that dull?

E don enter spelling now? Haha

Marjoribanks:
How can I understand a man who can't spell simple 'you'?

You dey US and u know understand when someone says yiu need to travel more. Interesting! 🧐

Marjoribanks:
Only a mad man understands himself and laughs at sane people! lol! Oga Ajala the traveler!

🤣 if u no understand u can never understand

Marjoribanks:
How does traveling more relate to the post? Where this mumu don reach? Ode!!

lol maybe u need to travel more.

Marjoribanks:
Now! my guess is right. You lack maturity!

And Yes! you are right! If that makes you find peace! Ciao!

lol but why u come edit my comment na?

AndSunGorilla:
Brother no vex ehn.

One Love!!!!

O boy make u rest. US US US make people hear word. US dey catch u like say u just enter yesterday.

Marjoribanks:
Wow! So na my areaboy! lol! Why does he behaves like that then? Joebie!!! lol!!

Because US peeps reason same way. lol

I no know where he even carry he own reasoning from. Na probably home training because I no fit match am to any location in the world map.

forgiveness:
For where? Na confirm US based.

How u take start this talk. Go read am again, and if u are adding meat to what I earlier said then you should have implied that from the very start.

lovewins:
I'm not trying to prove anything on a faceless platform, I thought we were having a civil discourse. And no I am not rambling, was simply clarifying to give added context, but it appears you see it as some sort of price winning competition.

My argument is simply that we have a better chance at success if government stops running sports. So by one policy I mean just an act of Congress where government is fully divest from sports administration save for investments in infrastructure, and the reason why that is needed is government running sports in itself is an act of Congress.

Investors are hesitant to invest because it's bad business simple. It's bad business because government is invested. It's the same way Investors won't put money in our refineries or the ajaokuta steel mill to jointly run it with government. But let government put those facilities 100% for sale tomorrow and you'll see buyers lining up. Government just has to hands of running sports. Simple.

You really have issues

Marjoribanks:
He must have stayed in UK at one point in his live. US peeps don't reason like him!

The issue is I said come next 4 years and we will be having same discussion. Oga think say na elections I dey talk o, and I was talking about our performance in every Olympics. Very laughably I came from my rat hole to spew trash and all the UK labeling on top this matter. Very objective indeed

forgiveness:
I understand but either of you are objective. Just consider both are there own perception. That's enough to resolve the problem.

Calm down. But I go like know ur age sha make I send u happy bday when time reach.

Marjoribanks:
What have you done for Nigeria Athletics? What do you know self boy? Keep quiet and move!

Haha. Next time I go talk next 5 years so u no go vex.

Marjoribanks:
Of course! We are know that's what you want all along and i kuku give it to you. Now you f offf!!
