Their officials nko?
Even if na only one person dey come from there he will need to be quarantined and screened again and again before release o lol

tbaba1234:
Most of the DRC players are foreign based, aren't they?

The risk is small IMO

Lol I checked after asking. You are right. Ah I must have felt really bad that day to think it was worse than that. Okocha besides his shooting over the bar several times, was something else in that game.

TheSuperNerd:
Na 4-1 oooo.... The 5-1 you recall must be the Netherlands friendly before the mundial. I know Yugoslavia best us 3-0 too. Hope I am not mixing this up too... Lol

Wait o. That match no be 5-1 e end. Abi memory don fail me.

TheSuperNerd:
Good! He was the best option and we still got banged 4-1 by Denmark.

And what question marks? You just said Rufai was the best option naa. Rufai had even been at the previous WC in 94... So yeah... Best option. And he got walloped big time. Case closed.

If na Trump he go just say nobody goes to Congo, nobody comes in from there.
We can do without the friendly. No point

Icon79:
Pinnick is a fulltime mugu, OK. First of all, how many of their players would be flying in from overseas? And even if ALL their players would be flying in from overseas, what about the officials, supporters club, and other contingents that would come with them .... would they all be flying in from abroad as well?? Remember, it only takes ONE infected individual to infect others!

This is how these people put our country at risk. I bet you that some people would be making money from this game, that's why they'd insist that it goes ahead.


O pari

Pinnick has already posited the game will go on regardless because most of their players would be flying in from abroad and they would still take the necessary precautions anyway. That your message don fall for deaf ears be that.

Icon79:
My brother, help me ask them. Anyway, I have twitted my mind to them. Here's the message I sent them on twitter:

His Majesty‏ @TalmudicSage · 8m8 minutes ago

@PinnickAmaju Mister Chairman,I am surprised that @thenff still plans to go ahead with @NGSuperEagles friendly game against DR Congo, despite the outbreak of the deadly Ebola disease! What would it take for you all to cancel the game to avoid endangering the lives of our players?


O pari

Good my brother.. but who will drive these kind of changes? People are not just going to start doing it by themselves. jingles on radio and TV won't.

kennysville:
Exactly! Just what I was sharing with my brother the other day. It all starts from home

wetin be send off? buhari no fit skype them? We always like to make everything a ceremony. e remain to declare national holiday to send off the team to Russia.

Icon79:
Exactly. And we don't even need this friendly match, IMHO. The boys just concluded a very long season, we should give them a couple of weeks to recuperate then the team should camp in London (or somewhere in Europe); play all our friendly games in Europe and proceed to Russia from there.

All this idea of playing a game in Nigeria so they'd get a proper "send off" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. After all, in 2014 we went to Brazil directly from the United States.


O pari

Hahaha just like airing “change begins with me” jingles. Typical approach.

You ask question with a view to finding answers. You ask questions with willingness to drop a preconceived notion, with a view to modifying your beliefs or knowledge. A whole different approach. Not a negative, nit-picking, whining approach.

forgiveness:
The root of the problem is you and I and the changes also begins with you and I.

Now, you said we should ask questions and not just agree, na so em bi', right? But now that I am practically asking questions, why am I seen as a valian?

We for just arrange neighboring Cameroon again instead

Icon79:
I still can't understand what the NFF is waiting for before they decide to cancel this DR Congo friendly. These mugus are unnecessarily exposing our players and even the fans to danger.

How much are they getting paid for us to play this game


O pari

Well it’s not a bad thing all together. Let some league players train with the big boys. If they can displace any, fine. It’s good for our league. We have to promote our own. But more should be done as regards improving the league

daveP:
I guess his auto spot is cos he reps the league. seems a niche's been caved for those who come from the league for that. dunno how true sha. but his every good touch would sell our league. marketing sturvs.

Does a confident person expect u to greet him first?. Does a confident person always expect u to put the first call? Does a confident says in action or words they are better than you? I have many examples.

Let me give us a football example. If I insist to take the penalty kick can that be mistaken as pride?

Martz101:
you the oerson in person, i don't

That's why I love Nigeria.. you can easily pretend you are nobody.. I think guys looking to marry should do that a lot.. They will thank themselves for it later in life.

chrisooblog:
again back to society nigerians generally don't go for the calm, cool quietly confident types but the loud brash egocentric ones who even though he might not have anything up stairs will be hailed

plus i noticed in our society if you don't blow your trumpet you will be ignored

hahaha.. or at least dem go dey wonder if u dey normal

Icon4s:
You understand.

If you laugh any how for Yankie, your neighbor fit call the cop on you, citing a case of madness. But for naija, you feel free to express your laughter any how.

Oga there is no mistaking it. I know a proud man when I see one. I know a confident person. lack of confidence does not mean humility. it can't be mistaken.

Martz101:
The fellow you met was actually correct, there is a thin line difference between arrogant and confidence

I no wan bare my opinion on this matter before.

But let me just say this simply. There is a reason why there is order of authority. It is like that in heaven. Nowhere in the Bible will you see the Son having more authority than the Father, but ALWAYS the other way around (whether you believe in Trinity or not). Likewise the same thing is extended to the earth by God -- an order of authority. Money should never be the basis of authority. It would be better for the family that way, and the society at large. Women should earn as much as they please. Only men who are control freaks and who see money as everything will be intimidated by the success of a woman.

Modified
Let me ask what are feminists really fighting for? Equality or reversal of authority. it is just an honest question.

kentebemoney:
Bros all this our girls matter Don dey tire pesin, no pride in being a woman, they all wanna slay. Open leg for anything, challenge man's authority anytime everytime, following the nonsense chimamada adiche be preaching recently and them want make me con marry?
Kole werk!!!

I no run oh.. that na one natural remedy to problems. No wonder Nigerians are the happiest people on earth

Icon4s:
Me I don dey laugh alone here since. Make I infect you too small.

Oga I too have called him tribalistic at a point in time.. but with the bolded you are making another statement oh, or at least it could be mistaken for something else.
Let's keep this thread civil I beg you.

Martz101:
Bros, maybe you don't understand what i mean, his argument is always in line with yoruba sport man, why cry over kayode, aluko, ajagu and co while there are also other top performance not called like kalu, henry onyekuru and even co

Now he come up with Mutiu better qualify than an amunike

it can't be a coincident

Ejaria suppose make that our Atletico list sef. The matter tire me. This is a player who wants to play for Nigeria. And he merits our B team or C team at least.

TheSuperNerd:
Well, at least Tammy was called up to the England's U-21s ahead of the May 26 - June 9 Maurice Revello tournament in Toulon, southern France. I think it is also called the Toulon Tournament.

Also called up are Movie Ejaria and Fikayo Tomori.


Togo is one of the 12 nations involved.

no, reason is friendlies are not official matches. Secondly, bookings are only transferable to a related competition.

krattoss:
Will red cards and bookings in the friendlies transfered to the main event in the world cup

Arrogance and ego is just an outward reaction to a problem deep down.

Modified
I once met a guy who said he is not proud but he is confident. like, seriously? I don't know the difference? A humble person cannot be confident?

chrisooblog:
siasia is talented coach no doubt but he suffers from the same disease of most nigerian coaches arrogance and ego. it's good to be confident but sometimes you need that self awareness and humility to check yourselves and evaluate ones performances so any noted lapses can be corrected.

hahaha.. Sir u wan ki me with laugh oh this afternoon.

Icon4s:
Na so. Dem still hide some names publishing only those ones and keeping the remaining names away from the public.

hahaha.. in fact d matter don tire me.. u know how many names dem don sneak in and out over the past week?

Icon4s:
Are you trying to say they have joined the corruption list?

We are talking now. We are suffering from successive failed leadership at almost all levels. It's a form of slavery oh, because it has affected our mindset so badly that we have become a reflection of our leaders.

chrisooblog:
to add i think his acute scepticism mirrors nigerian society as well. instead of interrogating and investigating each case on it's merits and allowing the evidence to draw one to a logical conclusion they will look at past misdeeds to influence them pass a judgment.

can't say i honestly blame him or such nigerians because the leadership in the country system generally always let's everyone down

On the last bolded, what can u say about draws now? Only the host country is assured of a group, usually Group A. All the top seeded teams are drawn into groups. No wonder he was disgraced out of office. There will always be corruption in every society, but measures must be taken from within to check the excesses. As we try to make it better, the corrupt ones will always try to get smarter.

Icon79:
And here's the ultimate insider himself, Michel Platini, revealing his they rig the draws to favor certain countries/teams. When I tell y'all that the UCL draws are always rigged in favor of Real Madrid, most of yall thought that I was just crying wolf. Oya, hear it from the horse's mouth directly:

"A little trickery" was employed for the 1998 World Cup draw to ensure France and Brazil did not meet until the final, disgraced former Uefa president Michel Platini has claimed.

The French hosted and won their first World Cup 20 years ago, beating Brazil 3-0 in the final in Paris.

Former France captain Platini was on the tournament's organising committee.

"When we organised the schedule, we did a little trickery," he told radio station France Bleu Sport. 

"France-Brazil in the final, it was the dream of everyone.

"If we finished first in the group and Brazil finished first, we could not meet before the final."

He laughed as he went on: "We did not spend six years organising the World Cup to not do some little shenanigans. Do you think other World Cup hosts did not?"

Brazil and France were the top teams in the Fifa rankings heading into the tournament and were among the eight top-seeded teams.

Two days before the draw took take place, world governing body Fifa announced that holders Brazil would be allocated to Group A while France were in Group C.

I think the problem is preconceived ideas. Blind to everything that negates it.

chrisooblog:
oga forgiveness and his conspiracy theories smh anyway joebie you have addressed his concerns lets just sit down and back the team LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES

the bolded is unacceptable here

Martz101:
how is Mutui more qualified?
Did Amuneke perform bad during his tenure?
Why is your argument always Yorubish bias??

Yes Kalika also helped him win bronze at Rio abi?. Kalika was also instrumental to Manu Garba's U20 team failing to disgrace the U23 team when our own Flying Eagles were whopping all the top NPFL teams at the Super 6. Siasia also beat Brazil 1-0 without Kalika (thanks to Emmanuel Daniel though). My friend I wont take anything away from Kalika. Siasia is indeed wise to be able to choose the right minds to help him in his job. But you can't take anything away from Siasia, because he also did very well without Kalika. Although sometimes it seems he has his boys. But in reality every coach has their boys for reasons we can always investigate.

Amuneke football na tik tak? Don't sound like a hater now. Oh yes I will agree with you on that, only on the ground that he is really an agent

forgiveness:
Kalika was behind Siasia's success from the U20 to Olympics, and until he first became national team coach but after Kalika left his pattern of play depreciated greatly.

Amuneke all about tik tak and at the same time an agent. Not good for the national team.

Yes we really need change.. I'm not denying that.. But if we are really going to change things we need leaders that have the know-how. And what I've just highlighted is for us understand the root of the problem. if we don't start from there -- the way we think as a people -- we cannot reorientate ourselves for change. Parents will need to start having a different conversation with their kids. Teachers will need to start teaching with a whole new perspective. Our school curriculum should be designed to embrace our history with an analytical approach. Our children should be spurred to ask questions and not just accept anything and everything as "na so e be" or "na so dem dey do am". We are not intelligent because we don't ask questions. we are not intelligent because we don't challenge ourselves to find better solutions to problems. But we think we are intelligent based on the number of degrees we have.

My friend corruption is a reality. But we need to first analyze the root cause of the problem.

forgiveness:
Yeah! We look at the positive of how politicians are mediocre of drilling boreholes in the 21st century and neglect the negative corruption of known cases. You are right.

Freedom is not free. You must fight for it.

Leave that one.. if we don’t look at the positives we will never believe in ourselves. And that is one of our problems.

Why do u think black Americans are still behind? Bad orientation that heavily focuses on their history of slavery. That in itself promotes mental slavery.

Modified
We have our own version of mental slavery stemmed from our colonial past. Anyway na my opinion

As you can see, d obudo oyinbo hammatan don reformate ya brain to oyinbo. Hahahaha! Here head dey hot..

You noticed? Oya expatiate on your claim about Siasia and Kalika
And What is the one and only playing style of Amuneke?

forgiveness:
I noticed Siasia without Kalika is as good as dead. Amuneke team na one pattern of play and it was alleged that he is an Agent coach.

Me no know our people. Born and bred here. I be son of the soil. I come often and stay for an extended period sometimes. I know our problem.
