Dz guy don kill me ooo. Veron,lampard and Gerrard weh no get any international trophy compare a World Cup winner, back to back Euro winner (as the best player in the competition). The only thing zidane have over Xavi is ballon d or and we all know dat is due to messi-Ronaldo dominance. Zidane wouldn’t smell d podium if he had played during this era. Even a defender (cannarvaro) carry ballon d or ahead of zidane

You're ignorant for using trophies which is a result of the collective effort of a football team to judge a single player.

Going by your logic. Fabian grosso or hernandez of France is better than marcelo because marcelo hasn't won a world cup.


I'll stop the argument here.

Bye dummy!

Have you slept with your 6 year old wife today?

DeeMain:
You know nothing. Guti did not fulfill his potential, was not even a regular at Madrid or the Spanish national team. On what basis are you mentioning him in the same sentence with Xavi?

De la Pena was not a contemporary of Xavi. While De la Pena was playing his last season in Barca in 98, Xavi was playing his first season in the club at 18. And no, De la Pena was not better than Xavi.

Guti had injury and attitudinal problems. Doesn't take the fact that he had superior abilities than xavi... What xavi does, is what the average la liga midfielder does..... Pass the ball around intelligently. I'm talking about midfielders with several abilities, shooting the ball from long range, free kick ability, tough tackling etc.... There are several midfielders who would have done better than xavi if they were in guardiolas Barcelona team.

peterd53:
Name them oooo.. I’m waiting

Zidane, Veron, pirlo, lampard, Gerrard...

bentwood85:
OLODO..... no need to argue with you..

asides insults and turning garri, what else do have in your head?

DeeMain:
Hogwash! Even before Guardiola dude was a genius. So Guardola stopped these other midfieldersfrom benching Xavi in the Spanish national team too, abi?

Abeg, park one side.

Those midfielders were old. Some left and retired in rijkaards last season. How old was edmilson, van bommel, marquez? They were in their 30's and left before/when guardiola came.... Xavi was a substitute from his teenage years till 26/27....

bentwood85:
Dribbling without knowing how to pass the ball?
or
running fast and lacking football intelligence?

it seems you play LUDO alot..

You are senseless.

There are midfielders who have more attributes and have achieved more than xavi. Doesn't take away the fact that he's a good midfielder.

peterd53:
You know nothing about LaLiga. Xavi a vice captain under rijkaard is not a regular abi? U b clown. Someone that has the highest appearance for Barca

xavi was a regular substitute... Not a starter.

PrinceGeorge1:
Correction tho...it wasn't guardiola dat made Xavi great. Even checkout his words on this post, he didn't mention guardiola amongst his influences

xavi doesn't have to acknowledge guardiola. We all have eyes. Xavi was a bench Warmer all his life until his late twenties when guardiola became manager. That should tell you something.

peterd53:
None of the players could bench Xavi at his prime. I guess you can’t identify good things

xavi cannot tie the boots of Guti. Even xavi knows. Iniesta was a better player than xavi. Even xavi knows. De la pena was a better player xavi. Infact, xavi sat on the bench for de la pena when they were both at Barcelona.

PrinceGeorge1:
Lol...if u take away those two things, what then do u call a midfielder


Receive sense bro

There are other qualities midfielders possess. Pace. Dribbling, aerial ability, tackling, shooting, etc....

Receive sense too.

geezynoni:
You're just an hater

No. This is close to the truth. I said xavi is overrated does not mean he's not a good footballer. He's good but he's not as people paint him to be. Zidane is a more complete midfielder.

peterd53:
Smiles. I guess you’re just an EPL fan boy. Dat same David Silva couldn’t lace the boot of Xavi at the National team level. He’s not even as good as santi carzola. Xavi is the only player to make 4 assists in a single game against the galaticos

Keep quiet. I've been watching the la liga for almost 2 decades and I know what I'm saying. Xavi rose to fane because of guardiolas possession football. Xavi was not a starter under rijkaard. He was on the bench watching the likes of Deco, marquez etc

MJBOLT:

xavi is the greatest midfielder in history along side iniesta.


Argue with your keyboard

Take away passing the ball and football intelligence, xavi has nothing. David silva is a more complete midfielder than xavi.

Vastly Overrated. There are far better Spanish midfielders who would have done better if they were opportuned to play in Barcelona under guardiola. Guti, baraja, Marcus senna, de la red, de la pena etc....

DawatNama:
If Nigeria decided to make 30th May her Heroes Day in commemoration of those that died in the war Biafrans will shift theirs to 31st of May so that to keep it sacrosanct and pure.

This people underrate how much we detest this banana Republic called nigeria.

zibya:
Beyond Kanu my foot.This sit at home madness started just 2 years ago. He is remote controlling you zombies for sure

Heroes remembrance day is commonly celebrated all over the world. Are you saying the usa, Germany, Israel, India etc are all mad for remembering their heroes?

Kingosytex:
how nnamdi kanu remote controls these guys baffles me.

Don't be silly. This is beyond kanu.

This is why they call nigeria a zoo. And nigerians wild animals. People are mourning their sons, fathers, brothers, families and you're making jest of them. No regard for human life.... Smh

Kingsley1000:
do we know the economic implications of this sit at home to our people?

i pity those that are complying to this shit

Respect yourself.

Why are the mods deleting threads on the civil war? Is it not part of nigerias history?

Rossikk:
One thing you forget is that there was TACIT Igbo backing of the coup. Not a whimper came from any Igbo person regarding the slanted nature of the targeted assassinations.

Were the coup plotters saying that all the Igbo leaders were clean, and the other ethnic group leaders corrupt?

Who gave them the authority to kill? If you had an issue with the ELECTED civiilian leaders, why not arrest and try them, and if found guilty, jail them? Why go around killing them?

And then when Ironsi came to power courtesy of the coup, the number 1 issue on Nigerians' minds was ''when will they arrest the killers of the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa, and Akintola et al?''

Intense pressure was mounted on the Ironis regime from across Nigeria, to bring the killers to justice. This man did nothing. He just sat on it for nearly a year!

Can you imagine. And NONE of the Igbo intelligentsia joined in the national call for justice. They were all silent.

How did you expect Nigerians to interprete such deafening silence?

Complicity of course!

Then what happened? Northerners started targeting Igbos, leading to massacres.

Then Ojukwu, with his eyes on the massive, newly discovered oil fields in the Delta, said ''ah, they're killing us, they're killing us. We must secede from Nigeria!''

So, 3 million were killed because Ojukwu declared secession and engaged in war against the federal republic - an illegal act.

You proved to me the other day that you lack sense by claiming everyone in onitsha is an illiterate trader. Stop quoting me.

Nonsense people. Una for ask dstv to show Kings college vs St finbarrs college match.... Una no know say Europa league na for small boys?

Rossikk:
Abeg spare us that crap.... Ontisha is a city of traders and spare parts dealers. That doesn't mean there are no other occupations there, but we know the people who form the majority there, and it ain't doctors or lawyers or bankers.

Do they even have a university in that city?

i still insist that you do not have sense. Onitsha is filled with schools, banks, manufacturing and construction companies ran by traders?


Continue disgracing yourself on a public forum.

spinna:
They introduced political assassination after just 10 yrs of the country's existence. The cold blooded murder of Sardauna and Akintola and others still hurts till today. And the ripple effects continue till now.They brought out the monstrous side of the northerners and that has affected even the north itself

Ibos then truly had a strong domination agenda/plan hatched by their big men. and they didn't even hide it well...they regretted it. During and after the war the propaganda was powerful with even foreign advertising companies hired and masterful authors like Achebe involved in fashioning the picture of an oppressed people just trying to be left alone. Many fell for that propaganda which made them blameless victims trying to leave a country in order to survive their hostile enemies. However the truth is they were the ones that started the hostility and they provoked the pogroms

The only apology they might (and that's a big might) deserve is for some acts contrary to rules of war as regards .POWs , rape, excessive force etc on the battlefield and the issue of change of currency after the war as well as the pogroms in the north..but that would be after they apologize for staining the destiny of our young nation with innocent blood in the name of power grab.

Many fell for the propaganda of the "victimized" ibos including Fela, and it seems Ffk foreign media etc. especially with the pics of the suffering children but the facts are there if u check well.

Also Biafra was an attempt, after failure of snatching political power via the coup, to grab economic power in form of the just discovered giant oil fields of the niger delta.

I hate to hurt feelings of Ibos on this sensitive topic but I would urge them to abandon the evil mind of their fathers and lets live in peace n love.

In the documentary of the war an Ibo man said himself that the war was Gods judgement upon the Ibos

You and those who commented up there are idiots for blaming an entire tribe for the actions of few men.

Going by your logic, we can call the yorubas a tribe of cowards and traitors because of the actions of afonja, awolowo, brigadier ogundipe etc.

You're so blinded by hate that you cannot even recognise that you've lost your humanity. Over 3 million women and children were killed because of the action of a few men and look at the nonsense you're saying.


Tufiakwa unu!

Rossikk:
People in Onitsha are semi-literate traders who know nothing about common sense or geopolitics. Why should he waste his time and lower his standards going there to try and reason with people who are allergic to reason, and live only by emotion and tribalism?

I don't think you are okay.


Someone who is okay will not generalise that everyone in onitsha is a trader. There are people of all sorts of occupations in onitsha.... Sorry if you feel insulted but you lack sense.

Holamic:
Another gathering of elite of africa to one of the most promising nation Nigeria. God bless my president

country of over 100 years is still a promising country??

I tire for nigerians.

leokid866:
No one is asking you not to sit at home, hell I'll probably be doing the same thing on that day. But the biafra thing needs to stop, that's what's pissing off the rest of Nigeria. The last thing we want Is to be dealing with men acting like babies throwing tantrums everywhere, we have too much on our plate for that.
Also how are you planning to form this biafra with the head of the movement on self imposed exile. If it's sure for him let him come back home and rally you all.

Okay, the marginalisation of the igbos is not your concern, but the agitation is now your concern... i repeat myself, if it pisses you off, you can kill yourself. We don't care.

leokid866:
I don't need to, the people there already know it is, and if you have a problem with Nigeria there are many other countries out there. Go to Ghana and set up your biafra or maybe Israel since they are your true brothers.

Look, stop deceiving yourself. We own Igboland and we have decided to show you by sitting at home. If you're not happy, you can kill yourself.

How on earth did nigerians elect a coup-plotter as president in the first place?

BluntBoy:
You are demeaning the top post in Nigeria simply because you people cannot get it.

Many times people badmouth something only because they would like to have it but they know they can’t have it.

Most times people badmouth q particular tribe because they'll like to be successful like them but they know they cannot, even in infinite lifetimes to come.

The people of south south are the most docile people on earth. Aboki man go take your resources come employ your children as gateman and security to protect your own oil.

Please Enjoy the benefit of one nigeria.
