so if osimhen happen to be your younger brother u go advise to turn down the Saudi offer and move to chelsea?😏😊

When I had my NYSC then,State government paid Corp members posted to state ministries 5k each monthly apart from NYSC allowance but NYSC members posted to Federal Government ministries,agencies and parastatals are not eligible

This made some corp members to move from federal to state,guess what I remained with federal and retained after the service.My two colleagues that moved from federal to state cried hearing that I was retained.

If am Osimhen brother i will tell him to remain in Europe cuz its the only place he can get the needed pedigree,nobody will compare Osimhen of Saudi league with Haaland and Mbappe who are doing it in Europe.

Butt enlargement just for prick cuz me I no dey understand

Mybettingtips:

It’s annoying reading what supposed learned football analysts are typing here. They want Osimhen to pick Saudi Arabia this early in his career. Boy is just 25 years old, he has long career to build in Europe. There’s epl, FA Cup, champions league to compete for. Big money leagues would spring up and come for him in the next 7-10 years when he’s done with Europe. Guys here are talking as if Osimhen is being paid peanut in Europe. He’s earning 240k or so in Napoli, Osimhen is not poor.

Chelsea offered Palmer and Jackson new contracts after just a year with bigger wages. They will give Osimhen a better contract if he decides to sign for them. He’s too young to move to Saudi League. Europe is where you make a name for yourself.

Going to Saudi Arabia will reduce his rating drastically but really surprised seeing us shifting the goal posts on Osimhen with some citing the big money in Saudi league,forgetting that Osimhen won Apoty and rated best 8 was solely on his performance in seria A.A top rated player at 25 going to Saudi to do what,Vinicius rejected Saudi,even old Lukaku said NO to Saudi money…..Ekong moved to Saudi is understandable.Osimhen need European football to be counted as one of the best.

But minister of education can marry 9 to 12 years old girl according to Islam but our children should wait till 18 years of age to write WAEC and NECO…..stupid people

Osimhen in Saudi league?Osimhen at his age and level is not made for Saudi league,even Lukaku rejected Saudi last season,everything is not about money.Osimhen in the next five years will still make good retirement money in the same Saudi league.

Imagine a 21 years old college of health technology graduate with iPhone pro max 13,wearing braless during sign out and got killed for just 15k,showed a failed parents but here peoples are talking about hardship not talking about poor moral upbringing

End bad government should start from individuals states but many leave their states corrupt governors and keep on attacking and wasting their times on already rotten central government that has been in mess since Buhari military dictatorship government took over from Shagari…..a coup that came into existence was to deny Alex Ekwueme a southerner from taking over after Shagari tenure.

Succession military governments of Babangida,Abacha and later Abdulsalam were used to propagate a lot of terrible agendas like getting oil blocks and made many northerners stronger but today what we are having now is southerners fighting themselves just cuz of presidential election result and forget the political history of the country.

It’s a pity some forget that we cannot achieve any revolutionary ideas fighting just federal government,reason why last protest failed,leaving the state governors who are real rogues……real revolution should start from states and let us see maybe thieving politicians in occupied positions in the central government will not run for cover.

Leemzyy:
Plx can you guys just stop all this hypocritical mindset,just few days ago,i read similar news but its that of a pastor sef can you imagine?does that mean he is following the teachings of jesus?or what?all this nonsense depends on individualistic mindset reasoning,God will reward everyone with all they say,may it be a good one for you,Allah knows the best

Do not mind him,Prophet Muhammad was not a rapist but married 6 years old Aisha😯 who stayed in his father’s house till she reached 9 years old then moved into Muhammed’s home who was 53 years old and the rapist instead of following Muhammad Islamic way turned his own to rape……hmmm person married 9 years old girl as wife get as ebi o.

Everything is corruption and it centered on lies and deceits…..our governors have failed and are still failing but we all keep on attacking the central government just like we did against Jonathan leaving the real devils(state governors) who are siphoning states money with dubious motives

ILORIN KWARA STATE is the cheapest place to live in Nigeria

descartes400:


Your question/observation is valid . Do they have jurisdiction or the power to disburse recovered money from the proceed of crime to funds government programmes as they deem fit.. does extant laws grant them that power? 50 billion is no small money!

Assuming they recovered billions from Yahaya bello, are they not suppose to return the money to the state coffers?

Oga take EFCC to court

jihday:
Aina have admitted he played the Afcon final despite being injured, in an interview he did with Iwobi he said he wasn’t ready to miss that Afcon final for anything in the world as it could be a once in a life time opportunity. Me I think that was a very selfish decision and the I expected the coach to know better, that act of his largely contributed to us loosing that game

Blame Peseiro for that,do you know how many of our players that Afcon injuries nearly killed their season…..Osimhen,Aina,Sanusi,Onyeka,Ekong were overused despite getting knocks.

zicky:
Sir abeg remove komekn from that list abi you don't see him throwing sheds and subtle insults on people. If you say detribalized for komekn I'll agree but for the records he do throw insults too.

Oga Zicky,insults wey Komekn and thegoodjoe dey receive here no be small o compare to some wey go give person back instantly…..so I will pick thegoodjoe and komekn when it comes to men with bullet proof when it comes to dragging,my opinion baba.

APOTY favorite Ademola Lookman arrives Warsaw for Super cup against Real Madrid

zicky:
Oga just say you won arrange award for goodjoe. 😂

Danielino a force to reckon with even if we go by good analytical of the game but when it comes to real mature minds who don’t care about the insults on the personalities then Komekn,thegoodjoe,Elyte,Mujtahida and Danielino

lelion:
@thanks very much @TheSuperNerd, this your suggestion is great. You are one of the great people pushing this thread forward.
I leave it to you people to decide and workout the best ways to go about it. The thread should decide on the 3 nominees and provide an account to me to transfer the money even tomorrow.
I also buy the idea of 20k, to buy data for those doing the compilation.
NB. It will be an annual award but might not be the same subject matter. Next year might be '' the most detribalized and well-behaved" monikers... For instance, someone like @theGoodjoe ( bluefont warrior), never gets angry or insultive irrespective of the provocations.

Like l said, whatever the thread decides, we go with it and the award is available even now.

I appreciate you for taking this bold step to put anything tribal into bud here but with comments coming up regarding the gifts I will advise you to stop it.

I would suggest a monetary gifts to most intelligent individuals regarding analytical of the games and personalities who never take offense even if they are pushing to the wall in respect of insults.

Giving monetary gifts would never stop tribalism but there are ways to stop it by just ignoring such comments

Oga lelion is an advice

Yeah, I actually saw the original post on Facebook but had to update it to include players of the 90s and 2000s.

Kudos to Ernest Okonkwo for pioneering nicknaming of Nigerian players, but my point is that nicknaming still continued after Ernest Okonkwo was gone. People like Larry Echiejile later Isamuje, Bimbo Adeola, Akinloye Oyebanjo and co also continued the tradition.

For the 90s asides the ones you mentioned there were still some other popular ones like: The Head master (Adepoju), The bull (Amokachi), Gentle Giant (Okechukwu), Okada (Tijani), Serezo (Eguavoen), even Peter Rufai was nicknamed Dodo Mayana by the 90s commentators. It was Larry that nicknamed Finidi Finito and the name stuck. "The one I call Finito"! (In Larry's voice )
There was even one guy called Benjamin Chukwuka Onwuachi that during an interview with Larry, his father called him "investment" and Larry picked it up as a nickname and started calling him "Investment"

My best memories of Ernest Okonkwo were at the 1987 FIFA U17, 1989 FIFA U17 and U20. I think he also ran commentaries at the Algiers 90 AFCON before he passed on.
NTA commentaries have never remained the same.

Peter Rufai got the name Dodo Mayana during 1982 Afcon in Libya and it was given to him by fans during training….Dodo meant SWEET and Mayana TOMORROW…Ernest gave Mutiu Adepoju headmaster…Eguavoen Cerezo was in the late 80s.

My point given Nigeria players nicknames in a stylish way dies with Ernest Okonkwo,am not disputing others but guess what none of them got closest to Ernest Okonkwo.

Check it out Rufai explained how he got Dodo Mayana

semid4lyfe:


Elder, you are obsessed with the past and have exaggerated nostalgic ratings of the 80's and 90's commentators/sports anchors.

I do not think the nicknames given to Nigerian players by Ernest Okonkwo reflected his intelligence.

I'll opine that it was due to patriotism and nationalistic fervour, and were an exaggeration and overhype of the players talent and football abilities.

Yes I love the past cuz I was part of it and thank God am seeing the present which I thought should be the best but till date we are finding it difficult to surpass the past.

Pls I want you to single out any present Nigeria commentator and compare him to Ernest Okonkwo,apart from nicknaming the man was good oga Semi.

Al Mustapha talked and people are commenting.Just discovering many on nairaland are Genz cuz I can’t imagine taking Al Mustapha serious on any national issues

Marjoribanks:
Of course! I am talking about the nicknames!

Yes I got your point

Christology:
Nwakali suppose flog en agent 2by 2 every morning..
That guy is doing a wack job for the lad..
At least a decent club in Saudi league would’ve been better..(we know he is chasing the bag).

Saudi clubs go for elite players to boost their league,just check out Ekong transfer….hope he earn good wages with Barnsley

Marjoribanks:
Larry Izamoje (long before Brilafm) and Bimbo Akintola had a lot do with those late 80s and 90s sobriquet! They took over from Ernest, I believe!

Larry came in the 90s through his powerful morning sports Radio program but we have good commentators like Yinka Craig,Fabio Olanipekun,Hameed Adio,Modele Sharafa Yusuf,Mitchele Obi who did well giving these guys names in the 90s but no one near Ernest Okonkwo who even gave some players nicknames watching NPFL,just check those nicknames you see real intellect in Ernest Okonkwo

Icon4s:

Yes Ernest Okonkwo who passed on around the late 80s nicknamed the 80s players. He wasn't responsible for nicknames of the the players of the 90s and 2000s.

Yes agreed but according to the list you posted he gave out 87% of those nicknames.Some names in the 90s were not well known to fans except JayJay,Papilo,Aghawonder and Prince of Monaco…I can tell you that average football fans don’t know Taribo,John Utaka and Amunike nicknames,so I gave it to Ernest Okonkwo……the post was made on FB to celebrate legendary Ernest Okonkwo who dead in 1990 after Algier 90

The name David Solomon disappoints the lowlife Yoruba and Igbo online tribal warriors….shame on you

pongwa:
Peter your problem started when you married a Yoruba woman. Your family will never accept that and they see you as an outsider. This is unfortunate but you have to learn to love with it so instead of you trying to come clean, you should focus on your new life while you monitor all Psquare royalties. Do not bear my grudges against any family member just distance yourself but keep your door open. Such is life

Na only him be Igbo man wey married Yoruba just talk say they are not properly brought up and love of money kills,married Yoruba lady is not issue but the money

Cmanforall:
Why bringing family issues to the Public and Internet.

What is the benefit?

We dey talk about millions of dollars here

Napoleon55:

Only Iheanacho (Senior Man) and Osimhen(Monster Manchine) for our current players.

Rashidi has more than two,Goals father and Yeking

I thought our own TheSuperNerd named Osimhen Monster Machine and how many Nigerians know Iheanacho as senior man….giving our players nicknames dies with legendary Ernest Okomkwo

So nobody nominate me despite 6years of no smear or clout on subject mata?

TheGoodJoe:


I was actually responding to a statement posted by Starboytwo

I was chilling with some guys who happened to be a chelsea fan. Funny enough, he laid the first blame on tikitaka. He believed from the beginning of this passing from back football, chelsea have not been Chelsea again.

According to the guy, he believes Chelsea won all their cups with complete gidigbo football and not some serenre passing. He mentioned drogba/Costa leading the line and he strongly believes osimhen will thrive.

okay baba

TheGoodJoe:

The guy is talking 19kpondo football. He should tell us the team today dominating trophies with gidigbo football. 🤣🤣🤣

Football has changed and learning how to dominate play with good possession is what brings long term success.

Did you see anyone talking about gidigbo football but talking about poor Chelsea management who are not ambitious like old Chelsea.

When I said old Chelsea I meant Chelsea that competed for EPL,FA,Champions league every year not this Chelsea,unless something changed this coming season I don’t want Osimhen in Chelsea based on what I saw last season.

Do you see anyone disputing your long term project but issue here you believe so much that long term project can only be successful with possessive football?

Do4luv is not free from tribal thing reason for his support for Pinnick at all cost

That’s not tribal but expressing his opinions on a man he loved so much.

Do4luv never castigate any player based on tribal line…..let me tell you Koko,I defended Mikel at any slightest point and also Keshi but am not Igbo or Edo man and if am Igbo or Edo meaning am tribal?……no Do4luv is not a tribal bigot
