Deltamani: Jaybee3456: Make una end this narrative. It's becoming too petty. The time was even added before SA scored. Whenever there's an injury or delay. The referee stops her watch. That's how FIFA decided things as recommended by the FIFA chief of referees Pierluigi Collina who wanted the entire 90 minutes of a game to be expended in active play. The new rule started during the World Cup in December. Now you know why these things happen. Accusing FIFA of racism here is just silly. Please stop it. 1 Like |

Coronavirus1: 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? |

Jaybee3456: Yeah like Morocco. Also we are better off not being under the pressure to win a second placed team. |
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by JohnBullMySon: 12:58pm On Jul 31, 2023 |
Well this game shows me that we are better off playing the group D winners than runners up. |

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

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 |
potland:I think Okoronkwo should replace Kanu in the 2nd half. She has better ball control while Kanu is more attack minded. 1 Like |

Kanu, Plumptre and Ucheibe should either release the ball on time or improve on their hold up play. The mistakes are too much now. 4 Likes |

lavylilly: 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. 1 Like |
