Family / Re: Nigerian Pastor And His Wife Welcome Their First Child After 22 Years Of Waiting by JohnBullMySon: 8:45am On Aug 01, 2023
Coronavirus1:
A MUST READ.



ME ;-

We succumbed to the lures of West dictated, Neo Liberal economic policies of Unbridled Deregulation / Market Forces foisted by IBB - Military led SAP ! Since 89, the country entered " Reverse Slips. Present crops of Political Managers have No Ideological Arsenals to combat the spirals .

I enjoyed your writing until you started to shift the blame to the West. The same liberal economic politics is what built western economies and Asian economies to what they are today.

Secondly there wasn't really a single turning point where things went wrong. It has generally been a progressive decline. This happened because we failed to invest properly into the future. Generally Nigerians tend to be too myopic and short sighted. We don't know the future implications of what we do.

Let me give you an example. An average American or asian who builds a company, hopes that eventually the company becomes a public company that can stand on his own. Many small supermarkets in the US have long histories and were either bought or inherited from someone who retired or has died. There are small stores in NY downtown that have been there since the beginning of the 21st century. An average Nigerian however, wants to retain so much control over his company that eventually causes the company to fade away after his death. At least 70% of Nigeria's indigenous firms in the 70s are nowhere to be seen today. General Electric founded by Thomas Edison in 1892 is still one of the biggest companies in America today. Toshiba in Japan was founded in 1875. Even the world wars did not collapse these companies.

Secondly in government, there is no continuity. Nigerian presidents only care about what they can achieve in their tenure. But development is a relay race. We don't have strong long term plans for development. It takes decades to reap benefits and if we're not prepared to build for the next generation, the next generation would be worse.

The early benefits of oil in the 50s - 60s would have been spent on development which could have cripped militancy at it's infancy. Instead of that, the guys in charge started looting it and constructing vanity projects. It may interest you to know, that those who started this militancy of a thing, were servants of government adminiatrators in the Niger Delta.

Progressive lack of investments into the universities have led to a massive decline in education in Nigeria. In the 70s and 80s, malpractice was straight expulsion. Now it's so commonplace that it is rare to see someone that does not participate in it. How can you have local production with graduates who sorted their way through school and didn't learn anything of value?

It wasn't just the added time.

The fouls on our players which she didn't call. The extra time on the added time. Calling 50-50s for Aussie and not calling them for us.


Not giving bookings to Aussie players for similar offences.

That ref was a bastard that day.

Only you see all these things? grin

How because we arw defensively set up?😅 mannn i don't think if we go behind again we will recover.

Yeah like Morocco. Also we are better off not being under the pressure to win a second placed team.

Do you know how many attacks she’s killed cus she either can’t control the ball or give a good pass?

That's why I said Okoronkwo should replace her. She's not good in tight spaces.

Damn too slow. If your strategy is to counter X then release the ball very quickly. That's the life of counter attacks. The slowest transition for the super falcons since the world cup began.

It is not easy to counter a team that isn't under pressure to score.
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by JohnBullMySon: 12:00pm On Jul 31, 2023
You guys are to harsh on Kanu. I feel she's just better in counter attack than buildup.
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by JohnBullMySon: 11:52am On Jul 31, 2023

We are playing short two. Plumptre and kanu
I think Okoronkwo should replace Kanu in the 2nd half. She has better ball control while Kanu is more attack minded.

Why? They're already on six points leading the group as it stands.

If we lose, it will come down to goal difference. That gives us an edge.

Australia has scored again. This time it counts.

If they're gonna win, then they should win with a high goal margin.
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by JohnBullMySon: 11:44am On Jul 31, 2023
Kanu, Plumptre and Ucheibe should either release the ball on time or improve on their hold up play. The mistakes are too much now.

We should employ same strategy for Canada and Australia game. Only that ireland doesn't know much to do with the ball than those other teams which we should exploit.

You'll be giving them too much confidence. Remember they're out already and not under any pressure.

all of the above

Ireland is not an underdog. If we play them like one, we can lose the game.

I think the game will shape into an end-to-end. The batter defence and/or more clinical will win.

Kai Assisat just missed.

Ireland is tactically our most difficult though.

It isn't even clear whats the best strategy we should pursue here. Should we sit back, maintain possession or high press?

Tackles still doesn't indicate individual pressing.

It's PPDA for teams and Pressures per 90 for Individuals.

Here are Mbappe's 2018/2019 Stats, Pedri's 20/21 stats and EPL attackers 21/22 stats

Pressure's indicates pressing and Pressure regains indicates winning the ball back.
I don't know all these terms though.

Ify has a good defensive game.

Imagine a whole president of Nigeria making himself available for the vice-president of google .
In a saner country a senior official of the appropriate ministry should have attended the meeting.

Why we no want want respect ourselves for this country?
So Tinubu should have refused to see him or what?

US State Dept secretary met with Xi Jingping, Shettima met with Putin. What is there if that's the person you want to meet with?

Haba.... Does this indicate she presses? 😂😂😂

You see what a press is with the men's game. She's not going to change that definition abeg.

Odegaard
Martinelli
Willock
Kane
Bruno
Lautaro Martinez
Osimhen
A few from the men's game that do this press all last season.




Direct or indirect press, anyone. Or better still, help define press.

Tackles is not the metrics used in measuring pressing or lack thereof....PPDA is used to measure that...

But yeah, she does press, at least more than the other forwards we have.

We're talking about an individual here. So yeah.
