Engen: Honestly...dis guy what the hell is your problem...can't you just stay out of people's matter.. Is there no platform for Ghanians... Well I don't blame you

Cubeet: This gay.nian is always excited seeing bad news about Nigeria or tribal clashes... Won't you go face your ashanti and ewe palava and leave us alone

Aha. It is when an outsider comes that we truly become Nigerians.

Cubeet: Which of the tribe is well known for Ritual killings and Selling Human parts?
The answer is Yoruba.

I get the joke. Oh wait...you are serious?

RebelLeader15: igbos......the pest and diseases we have in Nigeria

That's a bit extreme.

dmcdad: Maradona is a clown. Simple!

The worst part is, if it wasn't for this clown Messi may even already have won the World Cup in 2010.

tom29reloaded: am a half youruba

...half what? LOL. Delusion...deceit (only a f00l succeeds in deceiving himself).

Krasid: Even maradona has said that he didn't deserve it.It wouldn't even have been debateable if he truly deserve it.

Maradona should shut up. He was lucky he had Valdano and Burruchaga. Not to talk of the heroics of Jose Brown. Or has he convinced himself he did it alone in 1986?

GVA: but they are soo cowardly, that is why their young men cant leave their home towns in such of greener pastures. Incase you have not noticed the average ibo man in the west understand yoruba. He makes an effort to understand it, how many Yoruba men have you seen that can speak ibo. The numbers speak for themselves.

Your logic betrays your lack of intellect. Now answer this: "Does an American NEED to come to Nigeria in search of greener pastures?"

dmcdad: Where was their idol during the just concluded World Cup?

I think he should just stick to what he does best: modeling.

Engen: I am a 39years old Yoruba man, from Oshodi, I have never seen an unbiased write up about the two most popular tribes in Nigeria.Though, not the whole picture but very close to the truth.

Right, and I am a 93 year old BushMan, from Congo Brazzaville. Who asked you for info? Your evident deceit always make you clowns look ret@rded to say the least.

new2020: We Cross Riverians and Akwa Ibomites love our Igbo brothers and sisters, and can't wait for a United Republic soon to happen.

Hahahaha...once again delusion and deceit is why your people are always last. You only managed to convince YOURSELF that you are Efik/Ibibio or whatever.

Blockus: Go and ask the Deltans what about the Asaba massacre and tell them to move on.

If dem like make dem no move on. Asaba massacre was arranged by their fellow Mid-Westerner; Murtala Mohammed (from Auchi).

They do know how to drive on BRT lane; bully civilians (as if their fathers and mothers are not civilians) and burn BRT buses too. Those are highly commendable skills.

AjanleKoko: I thought the Golden Ball voting is based on the number of MOTMs won.
So what is everybody crying about?

Guy, some people are poor in Math. I guess they think it is by chance that the winners are always from the last 4 teams.

tonychristopher: 74 percent of investment in Lagos are own by Igbos. 5 percent by Hausa/Fulani, 15 percent by Foreigners(Non-Nigerians), 5 percent by other Nigerians(Non Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba), 1 percent by Yorubas (which include Mike Adenuga).

The problem here is that Igbos migrate more than others and they are been tagged criminals even caught Yoruba criminals most times claim Igbo.

Hahaha...delusion and deceit explains why your people always come last.

Abuklaw: Why should he portray Lagos an empty place when igbos left for their respective village

Abi? It's ONLY Igbos that travel during the festive period since they are the only ones with means to travel. That should tell you about how they generally think: "It's all about us".

Rilamaka: Ka m jukwala gi, in your entire life can you swear by Amadioha that you have never lied to or decieved a girl?

...uh huh...he's about to tell more lies to cover his lies.

I was expecting Germany to win the WC in 2018; unfortunately for Messi they got past Brazil (Germany since 1954 have been in a World Cup final every single decade). These German boys have been playing together for so long; and of course the core of the team incubated at Bayern Munchen will have an average age of 29 in 2018 (when they would be most similar to the team that won in 1990). They were even missing Marco Reus! The Argentine team is too delicately setup such that an injury to Di Maria could upset the whole balance.

WTF happened to Di Maria and why didn't they just tell us his World Cup was over like Neymar?

chic2pimp: So the best player in any tournament should be decided on how far his team went and not on how well this said individual performed abi? There's nothing to tell here I'm afraid. Irrespective of how far both player's team went, Rodriguez still had the much better tourney.

I asked a simple question; typical Nigerian is responding with another question. Why don't you answer my question; then next I will ask if you REALLY know about football and the World Cup.

chic2pimp: James Rodriguez!....Player of the tournament!

I believe you know a bit about football don't you? Now tell me, what year did a player that did not reach the last 4 (Semi Final) win the Golden Ball at the World Cup? I am waiting...

ddippset: sorry to say and pardon me but this is stvpidity being taken to a higher level. are goals supposed to be counted to determine a player's performance? na wa o! make una dey use una heads na!

Watch him come back to tell us Arjen Robben should've won it; failing to remember that Robben just like Messi only scored in the group stage!

A40: Loool how on earth did Messi deserve the Golden Ball. This phuckery na highest

21 goal scoring chances. Who had more? Robben?

bykebyke: Do you think by 31 he would make does flash like runs he made today

Sorry to disappoint you; but by then Messi could settle into his play making role. Hopefully then, he would have young strikers who respect him more; and who don't shoot blanks like Higuain and Palacios.

bykebyke: The greatest player who didn't win the world cup...Messi?

How about you wait till after he retires? For now, that title still belongs to Johan Cruyff.

homesteady: this man is 100% correct! I wonder why you guys are trying to cover up this obvious truth!
This guy is not a defender, if he is, then he is the most attack-minded defender in this world! In most of their games, I can't remember him performing any defensive duties, he was always in the opponent half dribbling everybody!

they were lucky that they didn't meet any team that have very quick attackers, if not they would have exploited that his side to the fullest! Scolari was foolish for removing Neymar from that wing and playing him in the middle!
Just imagine we meet Madrid, and caudardo is our right back! Oh no, bale and Cr7 will have a nice day!

...and I wonder why it's hard for you to understand that even Dani Alves was once a winger?

franciskaine: sorry its megalomania.

Sorry, it is megalothymia. Why don't you check what it means?

bykebyke: Maturana (ex-coach Columbia): "If Barça has defensive problems with Alves, they'll have twice as much with Cuadrado. He's not a defender."

OK, thanks for the tip Mr Maturana. Football is dynamic these days and we don't have such fixed designations as "defender" and "forwarder" as if those words were printed on the foreheads of players when they were born. Dani Alves himself was a winger converted to a fullback; and that is common these days. Same with Marcelo. And same with Kuyt currently at the WC with Netherlands. Bale was reverse (fullback converted to a winger) The list goes on and on. This shows the dynamic interchangeability between "winger" and "fullback" because the fullback these days must possess the abilities of a winger and double as both (winger and fullback).

pickabeau1: What if to win d contract from someone who is more qualified you assassinate the person?

I thought about that; but it is still direct competition which while being extreme and unacceptable is still within the realm of "survival of the fittest". Which is why if I am bidding for a contract in which hundreds of millions are at stake and therefore involved in a cut-throat competition, I will definitely invest plenty in security. And is still different from a situation where you are assassinated by a dude who just feels you are "oppressing" him because you have more money.

angela98: you are correct to an extent but I will argue with you that everyone cannot be successful. This exposes the successful one to vulnerability. There has been inequality amongst human, which has been there all along. There is no such thing as personality disorder when it comes to the issue of negative envy, jealousy and greed.

I will use the story of the dude who was murdered by his best-friend and car stolen as an example. If you know the story I am talking about, you should know this is not normal. For MOST humans who have more successful friends, this friend's success becomes a driver/catalyst and spurs them too on to success. "If my friend can do it, then I too can do it." Healthy competition. Though the competition I am talking about here is not like your friend buys a car, then you too go buy a car just to show him you too get levels. For ABNORMAL people like the guy I mentioned earlier, they see the friend's success as a threat. As a slight; a slap on the face. They've given up on being successful and anybody that does better is "showing himself". It's deep inferiority complex and it is indeed a disorder (either mental or otherwise).

angela98: Its in the human nature. Others trying to pull people down or destroy peoples success as been a thing of existence since God created humans.
Keep life simple.

It seems people don't know the difference between human nature and a personality disorder. If it is indeed human nature, I would feel the urge to want to bring down every more successful person I come in contact with (except of course you consider the possibility that I am not human). But I never feel that urge. Those who feel this urge are suffering from a mental/personality disorder. Somebody described it as "megalothymia".

And once again, "survival of the fittest" is quite different. As in, if we both are competing for a contract and I win the contract, that is direct competition. Nobody is bringing the other down in this scenario. But if I win the contract and have plenty of money to throw around, then some random monkey starts beefing me, then that is indeed a mental/personality disorder.

igbodefender: Ife was founded by Igbos aboriginal to that area. Then the Yorubas took over, via Oduduwa and Queen Moremi. If the Igbo King of Ife hadn't fallen for Moremi, the secret of his warriors would not have been known to the Yorubas. Well, the rest is history.

I think you would "defend" your ethnic group better if you can assemble a coherent history of your people; rather than "attaching" to Yoruba history and thereby making a mockery of yourself and your ethnic group. Yoruba history is freely available and readily accessible, that is why you ignorantly relate the "Igbo" ( meaning "bush" ) people in the Narrative of Queen Moremi to your people. The nearest link Yorubas have with the Igbos of South East Nigeria can only be traced to the period in which both groups must have migrated out of the Niger-Congo region (which will account for why both ethnic groups share similar names for facial features like eyes, nose, mouth, etc).

adexsimply: I think the "crabs-in-a-barrel" saying is grossly misinterpreted. To me, it's synonymous to survival of the fittest

Why would you blame something that's trying to get an handhold ?




[size=1pt]No insult me o, I just dey wake up[/size]

Correct. "Crabs-in-a-barrel" is about survival. Direct competition. Now, there is a different scenario where people who are not in direct competition with you start "competing" with you (and you may even be completely oblivious to any such competition). That has been explained by someone already; and attributable to megalothymia.
