Which life did God give us? How did he give us?
The life that we're living.

No, It's not an ultimatum, it's a criterion. Their meanings are completely distinct.
Criterion: a standard or principle by which sth is judged, or with the help of which a decision is made.
Ultimatum: final warning to a person or country that if they do not do what you ask, you will use force or take action against them.
To achieve/attain any dream, plan, mission, ambition purpose etc, no matter how small, a criterion/some criteria must be met. You met some criteria before you could access the internet, the medium through which we are having this this conversation. Isn't that a reality of? God does not give us ultimatum, He, like life/organisations simply gave us some criteria, principles, rules, guidelines, regulations etc.

Except that in this case, the offended party, the authorities and the law is one person, God.

Last time I checked, two persons don't captain a ship, only one with one or more other person/persons assisting.

[size=14pt]I AM READY TO LEAD SUPER EAGLES - SALISU YUSUF[/size]

https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/06/N16CYKA0591w.jpg

Super Eagles caretaker Salisu Yusuf has declared his willingness to take the country’s top coaching post on a fulltime basis.

READ: Yusuf backs Eagles young guns

The former Enyimba and Kano Pillars coach was in temporary charge of the Eagles for the recent friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are due to announce a substantive coach ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, which begin in October.

Yusuf will now be one of the top contenders after he acquitted himself in the wins over Mali and Luxembourg which has helped Nigeria climb six spots up the FIFA rankings.

And he said he is equal to the task especially after he assisted the country’s last three coaches – Stephen Keshi, Sunday Oliseh and Samson Siasia.

“I can take responsibility at this level,” said the former El Kanemi and Ranchers Bees midfielder, who said he was grateful to the NFF for giving him the opportunity to lead the country’s team for the first time.

“I have been working as a coach for the past 15 years. I will work a lot harder because the responsibility is higher. It will not change my philosophy as a coach.

“I will not be surprised if I’m given the job because I have assisted three coaches (Keshi, Oliseh and Siasia). I know the job and I can do the job.”

Yusuf further said one of his priorities as head coach is to work with players who are playing regularly at their clubs whether locally or overseas.

“I will use active players, playing for their clubs regularly, conditioning and match fitness will come from their clubsides. We will only discus tactics and strategy for the four days we are together before a game,” he said.

“The quality of the player cannot be compromised and if he is active, he can take responsibility

“If you are playing for your club, it will be easier for you to play for the national team.”

[size=14pt]Nigeria Defeats Honduras to Save Image[/size]

Samson Siasia's lads swept aside La Bicolor Olimpica to secure third place in the Suwon tournament, with hopes of emerging as champions already dashed


Nigeria finished their deflated Suwon International Youth Tournament campaign with a confident 3-1 victory over Honduras on Monday at the Bucheon Sports Complex to restore some pride despite their failed expedition.

Samson Siasia’s boys into their final game of the knowing they could no longer emerge as champions following defeats to South Korea and Denmark.

However, goals from Azubuike Okechukwu, Godwin Saviour and Keigo Saturday ensured the Dream Team VI at least signed off from the competition with victory, and avoided finishing bottom of the group.

The reigning African U23 champions were far from their glib best on this occasion, but still did enough to earn a comfortable win.

After a borrowing start, Honduras turned up the tempo and Alberth Elis broke the deadlock 17 minutes into the game – a strike which gave the Nigerians a timely reminder of how they were cracked against Denmark.

Nigeria showed more attacking vibrancy during a lukewarm opening, yet it was Honduras who almost got their second courtesy Anthony Lozano.

However, in the second half La Bicolor Olimpica’s resistance was broken ask captain Okechukwu leveled scores in the 61st minute.

That gave Siasia’s lads a sigh of relief as they controlled possession with just under 30 minutes remaining.

Things got worse for Jorge Luis Pinto’s boys in the 69th minute as they conceded a penalty after Ndifreke Effiong was brought down inside their goal area. Saviour took up the responsibility in the 18-yeard box and first past goalkeeper Harold Fonseca.

And Saturday sealed the win for his side with three minutes left to play with a wonder strike from the center of the field that beat Fonseca.


Nigeria U23 will return on later this week as they hope to ring some changes to the squad ahead the 2016 Olympics men’s football event.

Nigeria interim assistant coach Imama Amapakabo has said he was most impressed with the showing of Musa Mohammed at the problematic right back position for the Eagles.

"In all my time with the national teams, I have never seen a player as good as Mohammed in the right back position,” Imama said in a radio interview.

"He has great stamina, covers a lot of ground, defends exceptionally and overlaps with intelligence.

"I however think the best part of his game is his tactical awareness; Technically, he's one the best."

The Enugu Rangers coach also said he hopes too much pressure is not placed on Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho after he scored in both friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg.

"I honestly pray that we do not put too much pressure on him because he has the talent to be one of the best in the world,” said the coach.

"He is still young though and has a lot to learn.”

Shey una dey see Siasia...

Omeruo would have been d main galvanizer in dat CB bt in his absence i think we can cope with Troost-Ekong.

TheGoodJoe:


When Coach Siasia invited his boys for the Egypt game, that was understandable because there was no time to prepare.

In this case, Coach Siasia has time to prepare for the Olympics and he is wasting it. Our best should be gelling but instead our worst are receiving flogging.

<<<Puts head down. Walks away from the camp and flings plank away. Turns to cab driver. "No need. The Danes Kpracked Siasia.">>>

TheGoodJoe:


He is not deceiving anyone. Remember how Coach Siasia stressed on Oduduwa recovering for the Olympics. Remember how Nathan Oduwa refused to sign his Tottenham contract because he believed he has booked his Olympics ticket.

This is mostly your Olympics squad. Maybe someone like Etebor might break in.

It is only a thrashing like this that can stop this team from going.

johnydon22:
That is a rather radical conspiracy if you ask me, first it would be that everything we are, will be or ever will be is but a programme running in a kind of advanced OS, our reality more or less a mirage in a simulation.

That then appeals to reason that these post humans must be lurking somewhere elusive to this simulating reality watching us like some 3D characters on their made 3D simulators.

More like we are the characters in a video game.

Through out the course of human history, radical ideas and thoughts and scary 'what if's' has bugged us, still bug us and forever will.

As radical as this idea is let us not readily dismiss it as an invalid argument, but such a radical leap must be based on something substantial.

In this case i suggest Musk break us out from the Matrix as Morpheus broke Neo out and then try telling us this story again.

It is an interesting theory that of course can never(?) be proven. Throughout history people have used the technology of the day as a way of explaining the unknown. "Fire gods" explained shooting stars. "The earth rotates around the sun like a gear box" explained the solar system. "Our brains are like computers." is what they said in the 70s and 80s.

Now that we can create Sims it gives us solace that we have another way to explain reality. We don't like to not know things so we creatively apply what we know to help us understand the unknown.

Then again, I could have been programmed to say that by the 12 year old who is playing this sim.

It's an interesting (and fun) philosophical
conversation.

But, at some point, my pragmatism kicks in and I think, "So? So what if it is a simulation? Even if there were any objective way to know......what net effect does that have on my life if it is? Don't I still have to buy milk today either way?"

Mickael2:
You Sir have hardly watched Nacho's games. He runs for 90 mins?! Whoever told you that, even in the U17, Yahaya was doing the work for him. I didn't argue about the pace much though he clearly isn't as fast as Navas for example but okay. And he hardly defends. He stands in the center circle as the first line of his teams press, that's all he does, he is not like Bale who can chase his man all the way to his post, please, you made it sound as if Nacho is the perfect footballer ever, he has his flaws

TheGoodJoe:

Nacho actually has a fast pace. Remember his goal against Manchester United Reserves. He is also very skillful but his role as a forward diminishes that. On the wings it is easier to express yourselves.

I did not watch Ighalo's goal against Luxembourg. I read Iheanacho made a blistering run. So I do not think pace is his problem.

Gundogan will still take a while to play because of his fitness. He has to work with the medical crew before playing.

For now, I see Nasri as someone who will benefit from Guardiola's system. Silva will play in the midfield and Fernandinho will pivot.

Navas will not play on the right because that will defeat the invert wingers play. Nacho is the best for that. He will adapt and I see Nacho fitting in.

Further more Quran was written in Medieval Arabic which nobody speaks today. It's virtually a different language.
Only super academic moslems can read the quran as written. Many of their imams can't.
