Amazing afternoon
I was born and raised in catholic not Anglican
My husband is a Pentecostal but I don’t really like Pentecostal…I want to go back to my catholic which I’m pleading him

We wedded and baptized our kids in catholic

Okay.
Thanks.

maureensylvia:


I was a Catholic lol
Marriage turned me a Pentecostal

Good day Maureen. On this thread, you said you were getting married to an Anglican. How come you are now in a Pentecostal Christian Home?
I am just curious.
I am Pentecostal by the way.

Kingsley34:

One fundamental truth about the white is that they have a strong connection with animals be it snake or lion....i believe they are created to function in that fashion.
And they still believe that this is part of civilization

These people are NOT whites. They are Indianos. They are the native Indian tribes of Mexico.
They are not whites at all. These ones worship their traditional indigenous gods.

Onyiiobi7735:

You are very correct.

These people are NOT whites. They are Indianos. They are the native Indian tribes of Mexico.
They are not whites at all.

Goalnaldo:
Is there a mix up somewhere cause I'm watching the live medal presentation of the women 4*100m relay and it's Jamaica, Canada and Scotland that are the winners.

What you watched is the 4 by 400m relay.
Nigeria won the 4 by 100m relay.

Blueelf:
You guys insulting England's 3 lions. Hope you know that those players play majorly in England and in other top 4 leagues. Most of them played an average of 50 matches in the just concluded season and they are tired. It's really not easy.

I don't take the UEFA nations league seriously. They aren't taking player welfare into account.

Premiership would start in August, most teams would even play friendlies before then and then WC starts before you know it. I think those players are just been cautious to avoid injuries

Don't take that Hungary match serious. If England catch them for WC, it'll be a different story.

I'm not trolling this time. This is just my object observation

Cc komekn, andrewbaba44, thesupernerd, thegoodjoe, charlesemeka85

Germany beat Italy 5 goals to 2, but they have players that play in the EPL. They have Havertz, Werner, Rudiger and so on. The Hungarian players are equally tired from their club games, German players are equally very tired from their grueling club games in the EPL and the Bundesliga.
England doesn't have any cogent excuse for losing to this Hungarian team by 4 goals in their backyard. Hungary deserved the win and the scoreline.

I’ll say Jehovah witness is a Bible believing Church even though I’m not one. We all have been preached to several times without being invited to their churches. They’re more concerned of you understanding the world of God and they way they’re so good at it, shows that JW is a Bible people church.

Redeemed- believes in entertainment and praises and worship with sophisticated and sound musical instruments.

Winners Chapel- same with redeemed with a hint of Show business.

Catholic- Glorifies Mary the mother of Jesus and sing hymns and songs of praises to Mary

The Jehovah witnesses denounce Jesus Christ as God.
They say he is an archangel (same as archangel Michael). This automatically disqualifies them as christians.

The Bible they use is the New World Translation which was first published in 1950, is a deliberate alteration of the holy scriptures so as to suit themselves in their falsehood.

They claim to serve Jehovah but they don't. They actually serve the Governing Body of the Watchtower based in New York. Anything the Governing Body instructs them to do (whether it's against the holy scriptures or not), they must do. Failure to do so will attract such a person being disfellowshipped i.e ostracized.

If for any reason, a Jehovah witness (JW) leaves the organization, such a person will be completely ostracized by his own wife, parents, brothers and sisters and even his own children.

The Jehovah witnesses is a cult. They don't believe in the Holy Spirit as God or as a person. They believe it as an active force (something like a non-living thing).

They have predicted many times that the world will come to an end but time and time again, they have failed. Two well known examples are the 1914 and 1975 failed end-of-the-world predictions.

Iran is Persian in culture and language, it is not an Arab nation. They don't speak or understand Arabic.

Nneka Ogwumike is very intentional about playing in the olympics

From ESPN

Nneka, Chiney, Erica Ogwumike, all listed on Nigeria's provisional roster, could play in Olympics together, something the 'family would be very proud of'print
Sisters Nneka, Chiney and Erica Ogwumike are listed on the provisional roster for Nigeria's women's basketball team, the country's federation announced Tuesday on Twitter. It's possible they all could make the 12-player roster for Nigeria in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, although Nneka and Chiney are still awaiting official FIBA clearance.
"It's something I know my family would be very proud of," Nneka Ogwumike told ESPN Tuesday. "For it to happen would be such a blessing. To be able to do something big for a big part of our heritage would be fantastic. I'm hoping it will contribute to the growth we're experiencing for Africa in basketball."
Nneka, the 2016 WNBA MVP, and Chiney both are Stanford grads who were the WNBA's No. 1 draft picks in 2012 and 2014, respectively, and now play for the Los Angeles Sparks. Erica Ogwumike played as a freshman for Pepperdine and then spent the rest of her college career at Rice. She was drafted into the WNBA in 2020 but did not make a roster.
Eldest sister Nneka, 31, is a longtime member of the U.S. senior national team, winning gold medals with the American squad in 2014 and 2018 at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. But she was left off the U.S. roster for the Tokyo Games, which was announced June 21, surprising many and causing some controversy. She is the only MVP in WNBA history who has not made an Olympic squad, but that could change with FIBA's approval.
"It was more of a hurt than a shock, because I had experienced it before," Nneka said of also not being named to the U.S. Olympic team in 2012 and 2016. "But there are decisions made in this life that you can't control. I allowed myself to feel the hurt, but moving on, I decided, 'I'm going to try to put matters in my own hands.'"
Nneka contacted USA Basketball and told them she was interested in pursuing a chance to play with Nigeria. The Ogwumikes' parents, Peter and Ify, were both born in Nigeria and immigrated to the United States, where their daughters were born. The Ogwumike sisters have dual citizenship with the United States and Nigeria.
USA Basketball has released both Nneka and Chiney, which was required since both previously have competed for the United States in FIBA-sanctioned events. Generally, if players have done that after having reached their 17th birthday, they are not allowed to play for another country in a FIBA event. However, according to FIBA's regulations on player eligibility, the organization's secretary general may authorize a player to compete for the national team of his or her country of origin if this is in the interest of the growth of basketball in that country.
One of FIBA's pillars of emphasis currently is the growth of women's basketball worldwide, which could favor the decision for Nneka and Chiney getting to play for Nigeria. Erica Ogwumike committed to the Nigerian team last year; she had not played for Team USA in a FIBA-sanctioned event. Chiney Ogwumike began looking into the possibility of representing Nigeria about two months ago.
"The running joke was who was the family going to root for, because I was planning on playing against Erica," Nneka said of thinking she would be on Team USA. "But, you know, life unfolds in some beautiful ways: To be able to possibly share the highest athletic honor with not only Chiney, but my youngest sister."
Nneka has not been critical of USA Basketball, but said that when she didn't make the U.S. team, she did not want to wait on the possibility of perhaps being called on as an alternate U.S. player if someone was hurt between now and the Tokyo Games. She's been in that position before and said she doesn't see herself as a "second choice."
"I just wanted to bet on myself and also be a part of an organization that prioritizes me," she said of her hopes to play for Team Nigeria now. "My perspective was like, 'If it's not impossible, I'm going to go for it.' Because I believe I have Olympic status and I plan on being an Olympian."
Nneka said she wanted to be fully open with the Nigerian federation and USA Basketball about her hopes.
"I didn't want it to be secretive," she said. "It was something that I wanted to do, and I would hope that they understood. And they did. In these moments, being transparent, I think, is most important."
Along with FIBA clearance -- the Ogwumikes are not sure when a final decision will be made on that -- and being named to the Nigerian team, both Nneka and Chiney also have to be healthy. They have been sidelined with knee injuries; Nneka last played for the Sparks on June 1, and Chiney on May 28. At this point, both anticipate being able to play in Tokyo if they are on the team. Nigeria is scheduled to face the United States in an exhibition on July 18 at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Not long after, the Nigerian team is expected to be named.
"The way I feel now, I think I would be ready," Nneka said of playing in that exhibition game. "But if I'm not, I'll be ready for Tokyo if I'm able to get through the clearance process. The plan from the beginning (of her injury recovery) was for me to be ready for the Olympics."
Nigeria is in Group B at the Tokyo Games, along with the United States, Japan and France. Another current WNBA player who previously played for USA Basketball, Atlanta's Elizabeth Williams, is on the Nigerian provisional roster, too, and went through a similar process to what Nneka and Chiney are now.
Williams played collegiately for Duke; current Blue Devil senior Elizabeth Balogun, who transferred from Louisville, is also on the roster, as is another former Blue Devil, Oderah Chidom.
In fact, all the players on Nigeria's provisional roster played collegiately in the United States, including Adaora Elonu, who won a national championship with Texas A&M in 2011.
"The last few years, I've had the experience of playing against Team Nigeria and seen the rise of it," Nneka said. "It fills me with a lot of pride. To be able to possibly have the opportunity to contribute, that's what I want to do."

PDPGuy:
Well, this article says Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike are still awaiting clearance from FIBA before they don the Green-white-green…
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the approval comes through before the Olympics, because the Ogwumike sisters will surely propel the team to a podium finish in Tokyo!

Besides, with the sisters being part of the team, D’Tigress should just be awarded a bye to the semis of this year’s Women’s Afrobasket tournament.

I just read it also from the premium times.

Tokyo Olympics: D’Tigress coach names Ogwumike sisters in 15-woman provisional squad

Three sisters could play for Nigeria in Tokyo
Three Ogwumike sisters are on the threshold of history after the sisters were listed in the 15-woman provisional list submitted to the Nigeria Basketball Federation by head coach, Otis Hughley.
Number one overall draft in 2012, 2016 WNBA Most Valuable Player and current Los Angeles Sparks power forward, Nneka Ogwumike, has been pencilled down alongside Chinenye Ogwumike who had previously represented the United States of America at the U-18 and U-19 categories.
Erica completes the list of the Ogwumike sisters who may be making history as siblings playing for the same national team at the Olympic Games.
Team captain, Adaora Elonu, who has also been named as the Assistant Captain of Team Nigeria to the Olympics, is among the regular faces in the 15-woman provisional list.
The trusted trio of Promise Amukamara (Charnay BB of France), Atonye Nyingifa (Porta XI Ensino, Spain), and Ezinne Kalu (Landerneau, France) are also in line to make their debuts at the Olympics.
Pallas Kunayi-Akpannah, the 23-year-old Centre, who plays in the Italian Serie A for Pallacanestro Vigarano , will team up with Ifunanya Ibekwe and Louisville point guard, Elizabeth Balogun.
Amy Okonkwo’s dream of playing for Nigeria in Tokyo may eventually come through after her inclusion in the list alongside Oderah Chidom who narrowly missed the 2018 World Cup in Spain.
A long-standing member of the Atlanta Dream franchise in the WNBA, Elizabeth Williams, will also be on the plane to Tokyo alongside Victoria Macaulay and ageless Aisha Balarabe who has continued to turn back the hands of time as the only member of the squad who has ever been to the Olympics (in 2004).
The final list of 12 will be announced before the team heads out to Japan from their camp in the USA where the team will face the USA, Japan, and France in Group B.

Redman44:


I think Dtigress of Nigeria will go further than D'tigers at the Olympics. I see both Nigerian male and female basketball squads qualifying out of their groups at the Olympics. The ladies have been in camp longer than the guys though. Well, with Coach Mike Brown at the helm of affairs, we might shock the world at the Olympics. Chiney Ogwumike can still play for D'tigress, though she won't be missed if she decides not to play for Nigeria. We have so many gifted Nigerian-American ladies who want to play for Nigeria in the near future.

Hopefully, both of the teams will go as far as possible. Who knows, the d'tigress could even get to medal positions.
At the bolded, it will keep the Nigerian team more competitive and better than ever before.
At this rate, we will win the next five (5) editions of the Fiba Afrobasket Women's Championship.

PDPGuy:

Must be an error from the NBBF. Of the Ogwumike sisters, it’s only Erica and Chiney who are eligible to play for Nigeria.

Okay, thanks.

I like the roster of the d'tigress.
I believe this is the best ever assembled team of the d'tigress right from time.
And probably same for the d'tigers.

timay:


It seems FIBA is more flexible when it comes to nationality change. Compared to FIFA that ties down players destiny whenever they get cap tied to another country

Okay, thanks.

PDPGuy:


D’Tigress current provisional rooster

Thanks PDPGuy.

Nneka and Chinney Ogwumike have played for the senior team of the USA including the world cup.
How can they be eligible to play for the d'tigress?

carbonado:
[url][/url]... I think he is trying not give too much away, i feel he has done the permutations and believes we could meet or something, in the Olympics that is. I noticed Promise and Ezinne did not play... Maybe they played before i tuned in... Well you can train the threes but, if the 3 pointers r not in you, its hard to work on... I hope the remaining players we have would be tested in other friendlies.. I sincerely wish we can get 1 or 2 good shooters... Lets watch and see.

You may be right on the coach not trying to give too much away.
I hope we can get good shooters added to this team. That will make us really robust.

carbonado:
Belgium 74; Ngr 40...

I didn't know the game will take place earlier than I thought.
The coach still decided to make use of only 8 players throughout the game.
He made use of Nicole, Aisha, Amy, Oderah, Sarah, Atonye, Promise and Pallas,
It appears he is trying to experiment with them on something.
Lastly, they will need to train hard for 3-point shooting. I hope that the likes of Erica Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams will be good at 3-points shooting.

PDPGuy:


I don’t know if Macaulay is injured.. If she ain’t injured it’s odd that she hasn’t been fielded at all. Same with the other players you listed; I don’t know if coach Hughley is reserving them for tomorrow’s game against the 6th-ranked Belgium

Okay, thanks.

PDPGuy:


Yep.

To be fair, this match eventually turned out to be a contest between evenly-matched teams.

The major difference in this game was the Serbians distinct advantage with their excellent 3-point shooting. That’s an area D’Tigress have to improve upon

Yes, the three points shooting has to improve.
If we had Serbia's 3-point capability, I believe we would have had a much larger margin in our win.

carbonado:
.... Yeah, thanks.

You are welcome.

PDPGuy:
FT: D’Tigress 59-56

The team did well to lead for 80% of the match against a team ranked 8th in the world..

They did very well. But why didn't the coach make use of Amy Okonkwo in the second half.
Also, Aisha Mohammed, Sarah Ogoke and Nicole Enaboyi didn't play if I observed rightly.
The coach made use of 8 players throughout the game, and we still won.
Lastly, is Victoria Macauley injured?

carbonado:
.. I honestly do not know, i have not seen evelyn akhator too.

PDPGuy said Erica is doing her school exams. I don't know about Akhator's absence.

PDPGuy:

I think it’s because she had some medical school exams to take

Okay, thanks.

carbonado:
... She seems to be, however, i think she plays the power forward/center role, where she is usually close to the rim, i would love guarda that can light it out... Hence stretxhing the floor more for others to operate...

How about Erica Ogwumike, why isn't she in the team?
