Subzero047:Mane 18 goals from 35 goals in the EPL. Almost lmost retired Robben 5 goals from 12 games last season in Bundesliga. Chukwueze 3 goals from 37 games in La Liga. Stating facts may be EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL for you but not for me. |

Meanwhile watching PSG play Liepzig. Liepzig have a lot of pace but PSG gave pace but with devastating finishing. My money is on PSG. Maybe we might see Ademola today but whether he plays or not, don't think they can win this one. |

ChrisKels:When I first went to high school in Warri, l couldn't understand pidgin English. I couldn't understand, Igbo or Uhrobo. But there is learning and adaptation by association a big % is even unconscious, but it becomes ingrained and second nature by continous practice. I learned these Nigerian languages by participation, association, integration, and continous engagement. In Nsukka if you did not sprwak Igbo and you want to buy something the price automatically goes right up. I have a white Caucasian friend he is a Financial adviser from Liverpool. He went to take elocution lessons because his accent created a perception of ineptitude. When you arrive in the UK and you are working 12 hours shifts in a hospital and over time. You spend much more time with your colleagues on the hospital, than with anybody else it's inevitable that you change. Many years ago l was on a USAF base in Germany. After a while my accent changed to an American one just by continous association. It's not Faking it's unconscious and conscious adaptation by continous association. But if for instance you are in the UK and all your engagements are with your own people, kparakpo. You remain unchanged and many will swear you have never been to Onitsha talk less of London. Go stay village for one year in isolation after some time you would sound like a village man and at this stage you will have village mentality. That's why we say some people passed through the university but the university did not pass through them. I think you are one of them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

IDENNAA:You want to prove WHAT on faceless forum to give yourself credence to what purpose recognition. You are indeed suffering with low self esteem. I don't know but find your claim to be very very doubtful. Because people who are educatrd in Nigeria have considerably better appreciation of the socio-economic and cultural dynamics in the USA than you do. You may reflect that common phenomenon where a person lives in a country but lives socially excluded. That is too say you may work in the USA but you don't live there. It seems paradoxical but let me explain. There are people who work and reside in the USA just like the UK. But don't engage with society as a result you have Somalians who have resided in the UK for 30 years. But cannot speak any English. So they are resident but don't live here, because to live means to be full engaged with society not excluded. Their entire social interaction are with a limited set of people, there own people. That's why you find some Nigerians that have lived here for 20 years plus but still cannot speak English properly. Or are unable to integrate and or engage with English society in it fullness. Why because they associate only with their own people. My cousin left Nigeria from a university teaching Hospital in South South about 6 months ago. He now works in a hospital where his entire socio engagement and interaction are with White English people in the North of England. In that small time his accent and diction have changed his mannerisms too. His appreciation of socio culture dynamics as well. You would think he has been here for over 15 years. You however are the opposite. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Clementoke:How football is played and progressed in Europe has both a direct and indirect impact on Nigerian players and football. The tactics the strategy are a learning curve. To be ignorant of European football is to be ignora of football. You cannot discuss football with regards to the SE in isolation. Add to the fact that 99% of our player recruitment will be from Nigerian players in Europe. The entire focus of players in Nigeria is to leave the NPFL and come to Europe. The SE is currently in complete lockdown absolutely nothing going on, nothing to report. All our players presently play in Europe if you are playing local league essentially NUTTINESS awaits you. All leagues are shut down the only competition going to keep us entertained is the Euro cup it will soon be over. I don't know what the commotion is. The leagues across Europe will soon start indeed there have been a series of friendly pre season matches. And normal business will resume. However, you cannot discuss football without comparison. And reference to current trends and approaches in football. And the main stage will remain in Europe. We will soon concentrate on the transfer market as things heat up to see which clubs and leagues Nigerian players will eventually end up in. 10 Likes |

barackodam:I doubt that, you can track progression on football from almost age 5. Then you have Automatic Birth Data Capture. How many of our players can you track their progression from age 5/6/7. When you apply for anything of substance their is a requirement for official corroboration. You have a professional qualification it must be certified or an academic qualification. Unfortunately in Nigeria very few things can be unquestionably certified. We even have senators with dubious qualifications. |

IDENNAA:Your perception is not fact. This thread is primarily about the SE and where do 100% of our players play and where will 99% of our players recruited to play in the SE, come from  ❓ ❓. We have not in the last 2/3 decades ever had any significant number of local based players in the SE. So you are effectively talking a load of Balderdash. If you want to talk about the NPFL go and start a discussion thread to do that, but don't enforce a pack of untruths, misinformation and disinformation, to promote your own SELF- BIRTHED AGENDA. 5 Likes |

JayromWrites:Leicester city got beat by League 2 Newport in the FA cup did that make Newport a better team. MK Dons then in league one beat Manchester United well actually flogged them did that make them a better team. AFC Wimbledon beat West Ham 4-2 last year did that make them a better team. In a single leg cup game if you don't play well you loose. You do not get the opportunity to correct your mistakes and recover. City lost the game from a very dubious offside foul goal and a very uncharacteristic goal keeping error. But all that, does not cover the fact City played poorly and had their strategy very wrong. Lyon won the game. 2 Likes |

Toju200:I don't anchor my deductions on another persons irrespective of designation and or assumed knowledge. So whatever the CAS has to say is his opinion not mine. "The A29 Turboprop Tucano is what we need" according to you. But, why, how or for what reason ❓ ❓ It is better to anchor your position with a substantive deduction, rational and or explanation, Unfortunately you give none. After all the time you have spent here l expected more. The A29 Tucano is stupendously over priced and everything associated with it will be too. My suspicion are knowing the Americans you will only be able to attach compatible munitions, that is American or NATO sourced munitions. That means very expensive. Anything else will not be compatible. It's a bit like some laptops and how they ensure that universal components will not be compatible and the inherent software in your laptop continously rejects it. Quite some time ago l went into depth with regards to munitions costings. I used a published MOD official documents accessed under the access public information legislation UK. With that l was able to make informed projections with regards to costs. My presumption is that the HMG ( 12.7mm) of the A29 will be used quite often as well as the guided rockets which are produced by BA systems. You seem articulate and informed do a little bit of open source research. Do not be parochial and assumptive open your mind consider, balance and appraise. It will be beneficial to you as a person and increase your capacity. As well as intelligence. But l remember if I am right you saying to that the NA, could not afford the N2A42 165X30 mm ammunition required for the BTR4. That they pleaded with the NAF who refused to give them any. As a consequence we have cannibalised the BTR4 and stuck on top of it a very rudimentary HMG. Rendering the precision RWS ineffective and obsolete. The 2A42 ammunition is significantly cheaper by a huge margin than the 12.7mm and 20mm. How many RPM is the rate of fire of A29 20mm and 12.7mm guns. Below an excerpt from a previous post on this topic. So when we even get these overpriced A29 turboprop and then fire the 12.7 mm HMG for just 3 minutes it could cost you( UK MOD prices) $58,000.00. Now tell me that's sustainable in the Nigerian context Now having that thought in mind how much does a near 100% accuracy Chinese sourced ATGM cost that is used by the Wing Loong II UAV. My estimation for the BA-7, Blue arrow ATGM is less than $15k per unit. 2 Likes |

Heartlessbanker:I can answer the question but possibly not in the right context. You can join the Royal navy with short-sighted eye sight. However, most people will optimise for corrective laser eye corrective surgery which will restore you eye sight back to 20/20 vision for about twenty years before any gradual detoriation. You could take the cheaper short term option of contact lenses. I don't know if laser corrective surgery is available in Nigeria and how good the quality of service is, it may be open to serious question. |

kingphilip:They won the game, a dubious goal from a foul and offside and a huge big gaff from what has been a previously reliable goalkeeper. However, l feel that Pep made a big mistake changed the formation and played very negative. He should have had Foden, Sylva, and Mahrez from the start. Today Lyon won the game but did not out play or dominate City. But got a very lucky win against a better side. It happens but City played too negative. It's knock out football you can't recover in the second leg. Now for the first time we have a French and German semi final and possibly on paper it seems it will be Bayern and PSG. However, with the number of upsets we could have a PSG vs Lyon. 1 Like |

Icon4s:SHOCKING MISS even with eyes closed he should have scored. That miss and then the dubious goal after a a foul and open to debate off side. Scored literally seconds later. Two goals scored by a substitute player who outside of Mbappe and Neymar is the best Striker in French league one, Dembele. Strange game previously reliable goal keeper makes a huge gaff. City just did not seem mentally right for this game the approach and strategy way too negative. |

Toju200:I actually my preference was for 50 but in terms of effectiveness and best value. Which would you rather prefer 2 A29 Tucano or 75 Wing Loong II UAV's. In all honesty ❓ But you must look at cost effective solutions and in this regard. Boko setting up Ambush and or driving with reckless abandon across the NE in convoys of pick up gun trucks to attack NA positions will be impossible. 4 Likes |

Hennynitan:Exceedingly fab the quest for excellence does not have to be compromised because you are in Nigeria. They are competing on a global scale to do that you need international certification for quality. And they have a quality product. The Nigerian government should be encouraging them to increase capacity by giving them a contract for a 1000 vehicles. This vehicle should be the standard transport for the NA. Proforce should be creating their own RWS I think they have the capacity. I wonder why ❓ 7 Likes |

youghs:Very simple, we know the areas of contention and the supply channels. So let me induce you to think expansively and with depth. What's the area of extensive vision for the Wing Loong II UAV at high altitude of say 30,000ft, first question❓ Second question is what is the optimimum cruising speed of the Wing Loong II, second question ❓ ❓ So effectively what then is the effective coverage per square kilometres on the ground every hour or every thirty minutes if you like. Then you apply that figure to the areas of interest and contention. And then you can understand you do not need to have coverage over 700,000sq km of the Nigeria. Now that you may have got some understanding rephrase your question from standpoint of knowledge and understanding please. 2 Likes |
