ChrisKels:Always two sides to a story. Who is his agent no name l have seen many people claiming to be agents of a player when they are not. Who should we believe two dramatically different stories. So Billing asks questions about the Nigerian team is not a commitment to the team. Then who released all the spurious claims of Billings alleged change of allegiance to the press. Once the press get involved you will never find out the truth. Because the press will create versions of the truth by exaggeration and sometimes untruths to get attention. |
jihday:That's a very difficult questions to answer. After qualification you need experience some are privileged not ny merit to do both at the same time. Privilege is not given to Black players when it comes to coaching in the UK and Europe in general. Considering how many black players play in the EPL 33% and other leagues in England who will make up at least 20% and that's being conservative. How many black managers do we have. If you go to the football academies you will find illiterate coaches given opportunity over UEFA grade A coaches if the are black. Is it that Seyi lacks ability absolutely not. But Seyi no matter what he does will always be denied OPPORTUNITY. That Opportunity denial means he will never get the experience required to underpin his competencies. All football clubs in England are racist and it is just a question of degree. There are a very few who are trying to address the issues but most really don't care. It's racist business as usual. People use the measurements of proportional representation as a reflection to assess the degree of racism. In this regard 30% of London is probably black but not up too 0.05% of public and private sector senior management is black. So unless Seyi comes to Nigeria he will probably never ever get the experience thst his white far less qualified peers will get. And then we will prefer them to him. |
forgiveness:Were you deh since. Ah the forum missed you. I remember when they use to say you are me and l am you. That's how funny it gets here. |
TheLoneCitizen:Never ever satisfied under any circumstances when people you are way more qualified than on all fronts are made to boss you and supercede you. No rather you TOLERATE but under no circumstances do you ACCEPT your institutional denigration, demotion and exclusion. Because of the colour of your skin. |
TheLoneCitizen:Look at the status of Zidane in the club prior and after then add his skin tone BE REAL. How many black coaches are there in the entire Spanish football system. |
elyte89:How many Oyibo coaches go school , leave that ting. RACISM is alive and well in football. |
Hanibal:very funny and what are you a VIRUS ![]() People have opinions and perceptions there are no groupings here just individual opinions unless you are trying to create a supporters club for your preferred contributor, that would be very infantile thinking . |
elyte89:Unfortunately, opportunity for black coaches in Europe is very limited . Seyi Olifinjana has been coaching youth football at Wolves for about 5 years but there has been no progression beyond that. |
jihday:Victor Osimhen won the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards in the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile on the other hand Dominic Solanke Golden Ball winner in the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017. There is a gap of two years not months as you have claimed and one tournament is for U20 and the other is U17. You should really know that . My opinion remains the same AT THAT TIME. Nonetheless, for me youth football particularly at U17 is at best indicative not conclusive with a very long way to go, U20 football is much more affirmative as most p[layers at this stage should already be playing first team football. Indeed within that England U20 squad the vast majority are progressing. You will not find the same % of progression with the U17 squad. However, in the context of Nigeria we seem to have unanswered questions we have had consistent almost continuous progress at U17 level but not at U20, Why i really cant explain. |
Joebie:Agreed without one iota of reservation and or question ❓ |
bidex111:This is VERY DANGEROUS. This will have an impact on the geo politics of the entire region. The Egos of the big superpowers will be tested and expressed. As well as thier shameful double standards and hypocrisy. We can clearly deduce that effectively Russian troops have been on the ground in Libya. Interesting days ahead or l should day very violent ones. The only problem, "when two elephants fight, na ground deh suffer" and thats the common every day people. |
As the discussion or shall I say the ranting progresses the different schools of thought become exposed. If l make an observation, opinion and or deduction. The substance become irrelevant and the individual perception the basis of credibility. |
Odunayaw:You are not in Libya probably never been there and you can create from your own imagination a whole series of events. Based on what. Quuite obviously your over active imagination that's what is called delusion. |
blacKDalia:Peoples lives are at stake indeed people have died and are dying and you call it fun. |
Eta22seconds:Many will argue against you again from sentiment based prejudice and unfortunately lack of knowledge. The two most recent major conflicts in the world have been almost been entirely prosecuted with UAV. I make reference to Idlib in Syria and the bloody nose given to the Despotic Haftar. Who is supported by multiple powers. What's most remarkable is the very sophisticated anti aircraft system deployed by Russia to support its troops. Those systems were not able to mitigate against the Turkish UAV"s. They LNA have destroyed and captured the Pantsir S1. Quite some time ago l said the future is UAV well once again l reiterate it's no longer the future it is the HERE and NOW. |
TheSuperNerd:You omitted quite deceptively two things which are the DATE and CONTEXT. ln which the comments were made. In football absolutely everything is time limited. When a statement is taken out of context, it becomes a CON and you could not resist the temptation to show your nature CON MAN. That's disinformation and intent to mislead and cheap low level pot scraping. My comments remain the same in the context of that time. And will never be withdrawn. At that time Solanke was far ahead and a golden boot winner at the U20 World cup and Osimhen was in the doldrums of Wolfsburg going nowhere. And at that time would have struggled to get into a top academy. If we go back in time, AT THAT TIME or thereabouts l had said Eberechi Eze, Fikayo Tomori, Josh Maja, Adarabioyo, Oviemuno Ejaria, among many others were not good enough for the SE again AT THAT TIME . But look today. l also said Nwakali AT THAT TIME was simply not good enough, l had even stronger words for Isaac Success. Where is Solanke, Nwakali and Success in the context of football in the HERE and NOW. I guess making a bit of money but going nowhere in football progression. Footballers don't remain static they improve they change thier attitude and they strive if they want to succeed. You also failed to add the constructive criticism comments and advice l gave regarding Osimhen. I said he should leave Wolfsburg go to a less competitive league and or Bundesliga 2 and reinvent his career or he will end up going nowhere. Well he took that advice and where is he now. Sine you have the tenacity to find the negative use that same tenacity to find the Positive. Unless you are not balanced in your quest which would prove negative prejudiced bias. So once again please find where I have unjustifiablely denigrated a Nigerian home grown player. |
junnyjake:First the term lawyer is quite fluid, and covers a lot of descriptions. However, the term Barrister and or Solicitor is more structured. In that you have to have completed pupillage and attended law school. Safarigirl has mentioned that she studied law and graduated quite recently. By providing that unsolicited information. You present an attribute that comes with expectations and standards of deduction, she made that decision not anyone else. You have deviated from the core substance and moved to personality, which was, " All encompassing negative presumptive deduction made about Nigerians in the Diaspora" My comments emanate from the expectations that a person who has studied law. Would therefore underpin thier approaches with structure method and knowledge not emotive sentiment. That l think is a reasonable expectation that there will be some degree of intellectual capacity in thier approach. Several times l have asked her to substantiate an opinion. For instance that " l denigrate with negative bias Nigerian home based players" An opinion, in order to have weight and meaning, must be informed. Certainly, everyone has an opinion, but if that opinion is based on nothing then what is the point of having it in the first place? Noise making. I asked for just one post to underpin her opinion not two. I have asked one or two or more here the same but they all go MIA and evasive. This is a faceless forum and l would not be able to say the things I do if it wasn't. Particularly where some things are first hand insider information. With regards to the bold. this is light hearted entertainment to me. Nobody overly impresses me or do l have any intention to impress anyone here. I dont require your intellectual rubber-stamp to give me a sense of credibility. I already have that in reality to a good degree. Finally, l don't measure intelligence by academic endeavour it's much more than that to me. Finally, finally don't you think it's hypocrisy for you to make the request when you have not done the same yourself. |
GeneralFarouq:One example or blind criticism that l have presented will sincerely appreciated. One can not see his own faults you need someone to point them out to you. |
Kalapizim:Please can you enlighten me so l can get back in touch. |
GabrielYulaw:We have a lot of contention here. IMO predominantly from groups who appreciate matters from one perspective thier own. A perspective evolved from limited experience and exposure. There is a socio-cultural dynamic , where a person is assumed knowledge by designation and longevity not by measured perfomances. So people will praise PMB and COAS but it's more emotive bias than measured objectivity. Another aspect of conflict is a background of supposed intellect that is based on acceptance not question. For example in Nigeria if you were at university and you were receiving a lecture theatre with 300 post grad students. Which is supposed to be interactive. And a student stood up and disagreed with the emeritus Prof. explaining that his approach is not tenable and you present an opposing well thought out alternative. In Nigeria you will probably be kicked out labelled a trouble maker. And if your not careful you will be failed. We have the emotive sentiment misguided patriotism group. Who think anyone that questions there position is an act of treason. Finally, any assessment of performance will always in general have a unit of measurement based on comparison. |
Juchii:There are facts, there's is empirical evidence and you could say there us also substantive opinion based arguments. Sometimes there are many roads to Jerusalem and it's a matter of preference. When it comes to TRUTH then what is one person truth is another person LIE. Truth can be very opinion led. A classic example TRUMPS idea of TRUTH can vary dramatically with quite a few others. Out of curiosity one example two would be great of where l have REFUSED TO ACCEPT A GLARING TRUTH, please. |
solonnachi:Until a contract is signed by a player everything is just speculation. A player like Osimhen will generate a lot of interest. However, to what degree these clubs are serious is open to debate. We have heard Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, etc,. My advice is he should go to a club where he will not have to be fighting for game time. In that regard Napoli is a good choice. Going to a very big club at this very early stage of his development may not pan out as anticipated. It's better to build gradually and develop. |
Meliforme:Whaaten you drink this morning, Sapele Water. Are you a qualified Solicitor or Barrister, have we had a discussion on legal matters so how did you arrive at that conclusion Very funnyWith regards to the bold how did you make that deduction, you should read my question or maybe infatuation has blinded your eyes and your reasoning. |
Humility017:Maybe you wish to be obsequious as you bend over to sing praise, your appreciation of intellect, I guess is a reflection of your own level. In order to appreciate intellect you must have some, in this regard define "character assassination" according to you and how I have assassinated her character. But in case you do not know FYI , Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual. Your Queen made an all encompassing negative unfounded proposition about all Nigerians in the diaspora founded on essentially nothing beyond the superficial. And i questioned it. You also have made these spurious unfounded sentiment based assumptions. I challenged you before you went missing and i give you the same challenge i gave Safarigirl, present one not two just one post where i have with unbridled prejudice denigrated a Nigerian home grown player A screenshot will do, also remember your perception is not a fact its a reflection of your own vision, it is not evidence or substance. |
Juchii:You have already prejudiced the notion of "Constructive Criticism " because you it seems you have a definition of what you think it is or what it should be. As a consequence you allege they have other agenda. Your perception is also reflection of your experience that may cause you to see criticism as an affront or attack. Finally what is the other camp you have mentioned please expand. |
youghs:The historical foundations of the Nigerian armed forces have impacted very strongly as well as negatively into what it has evolved into today. The British colonial years and the policy of divide and rule. With growing agitation for independence being pushed forward by the then more learned and politically astute South the British used the NA as check and balance on the south to ensure colonialism continued. To that purpose the NA was populated by Northerners with merit taking a backseat. That moved on to a period of coups and counter coups where the army became totally politicized with nepotism and tribalism at the core of its organizational culture. The easiest way to move on life and become a governor or similar high level apportionment was to join the army, most of our stupendously rich $ billionaires are ex Generals. For many years NDA recruitment was to good degree based on nepotism, but then again so are most things in Nigeria. Many joined up never believing they would ever be engaged in life or death warfare. Probably since the advent of civilian democracy the allure of the NA to the ruling classes has lost its shiny appeal, so w see a lot more of everyday people getting into the army and the NDA. Supporting TRUTH in a system that denies truth and probity is very difficult , however, exposing lies and deceit will eventually result in better working conditions and the best value fit for purpose equipment for our gallant combatants that is true patriotism anything else is consent to the status quo . |
dragon2:I don't necessarily agree with you. There are three camps it seems to me here. A. The Nigeria is the best military in Africa and every decision made in the context of strategy, procurement is the best. Anything to the contrary is subversive and should be opposed by any means foul or fair. In the midst of that narrative is sycophantic praise singing of the COAS , PMB and a few others. B. The NEUTRALS passing a few comments here or there but mainly observing, the contentions between the A and C positions. C. Constructive criticizers , questioning actions on the basis of rational and validity, making comparative analysis they are describes as LIARS (but without substantiation ) by the A group. It is alleged that some of their comments are removed by moderators. They only way the thread is pulled down is when people descent to the gutter with vitriolic rhetoric and emotive based arguments not substantive and name calling. |
safarigirl:I appreciate your EVASIVE ACTION. |
TheGoodJoe:He did not go overboard. He was straight forward and very clear,no spin or frills just plane honest. He told no lies. |
safarigirl:Perspective is not fact, it is not empirical and it is not substantive. Particularly when it is based in nothing but self. Your perspective is self birthed, self justified and extremely limited and superficial. The fact is you have ZERO EXPERIENCE of the things you talk about beyond the whimsical. You have incessantly made these self birthed allegations, about my negative prejudice towards Nigerian home based players. And l have asked you several times to give me one example not even two just one. But once again you have EVADED, BY PASSED without shame. You make deductions from perception not facts and yet you are a lawyer. You don't have any sense of balance of probabilities or even the argument of the reasonable man. Buy you conclude on WHAT ❓ Your self justified no experience perspective, that's DELUSION. When l talk about Nigeria, it's not based on YouTube and or a a few Nigerian l know and or some relatives. But l digress, I challenge you,once again, to give just one instance, screen shot please, of where l have denigrated Nigerian home based players. Finally, my first hand participative experience professional and social including educational. Completely negates yours, you speak from ignorance l speak from knowledge. You have a rare attribute an active colourful imagination. You should really be a dramatic screen writer, you have chosen the wrong profession. |
safarigirl:You made a widescale all encompassing negative presumptive deduction. About all Nigerians in the Diaspora. Based on what, YouTube, a few relatives, friends, etc. Not personal first hand experience just self birthed prejudice. Your deduction is not singular, or subject and or location specific. Just everything and anything. A deduction that includes me. There are a thousand and one different types of Nigerian living abroad. Abroad could means hundred of different countries. Germany is different from China, just as Canada is very different from Singapore. But you put everything and everyone in the same boat. I then challenged you on such a rash impulsive deduction. How can anybody make such a all encompassing negative presumptive deduction covering so many dramatically different places and people and attempt to rationalise it. You are simply wrong accept it. |
elunico:You can have a very whimsical one yes everyone is entitled to an opinion. But then what's your opinion based on Imagine a white female from Sweden giving a very strong overriding generalist opinionated negative deduction on Nigeria men. But she has met a few Nigerian men, but never lived in Nigeria but has concluded very strongly in the negative. What would you call that. |
