We move on..... Though we lost this one, But i will continually stake on you to score... Such is my belief for you starboy!

Na u sef cause am way he no score.

Pls don't bet on him next week, then he will score his hattrick.
You know how bet dey be, when u choose am e no go do am, when u no choose am e go do am

Close but no cigar? The phrase drew a smile.

It's part of the lyrics of one of my favourite songs, my soul pleads for you by Simon Webbe.

Yeah you noticed it too

Bolowolowo:
Osimhen off target. Close but no cigar

"Close but no cigar" lovely expression.

timay:
Even Emyeama was not all that different from UZoho them when he started out with super eagles. He started getting it right late in his career

Which enyeama are we talking of? Same one who kept a clean sheet in his world cup debut match?

Same enyeama who was very instrumental in winning the caf CL for Enyimba and Nigeria at his early years showed more potential and marked himself for greater height from the onset of his career

BascoVanVeli:
I would have been more than happy to continue with Manu Garba. Even if they gave him both jobs it would still be better

Manu will still have the job. It's just to douse tension about "na only him make other people try na". But let's see them try and hope it's positive at least. It's not just about producing players at the cadet level this time it's more about winning it and we know just how far ladan Bosso can go.

Etebo racked up 90 mins in Galatasaray's two nil win today

BascoVanVeli:
U act like he is playing for Akwa United and he refused man u. There are so many other clubs in the world.

[/code]He doesn't have to go to Manchester to become successful[code]

so your argument doesn't add up. He already turned down arsenal as a teenager so why is this so hard to believe

Oh boy u are just talking now. And that's exactly what you should be saying, he can play in manU if he chooses, it's all about where he sees his potential next step to success. If he doesn't it's only permissible to say he found it elsewhere

BascoVanVeli:
Oga racism is not an actual person. He doesn't look up to racism, he didn't fly to Belgium to watch racism plaay for Man U. U cannot compare the two situations.

The real brother should be the bigger brother, he should step aside for his younger brother if we go by that logic of yours. After all the big brother has had his fair share of fame and fortune from soccer even Fulfilling his dream of playing in his dream club was more than enough for him in order not to hinder the career path of his younger brother who is just setting out to limelight

BascoVanVeli:


U can never agree to being wrong. I thought u said the internet knew Osimhen didn't turn down United. Where are the articles

Do you think if Man U had gone with the same determination to sign him as Napoli had , he would have thought about really competing with ighalo. As far as I'm concerned those are superfluous and peripheral suggestions.


Look at a stronger reason like "Racism" he complained about in Italy, did he not finally accept to put pen to paper for the Neopolitan. Even if you associate that with pressure from family, club and agent.

Those three would still have convinced him to disregard the presence of a senior brother in the team.

I mean it kind of sounds really low to look at that as a main reason

minfelix:
List

It's as it for every position they playing, their names are arranged according to how important they are at the moment.

Simy should have buried that chance.


Crotone are trailing by two goals.

"Bag a goal" " bag a degree" not just bag

Philosopher1979:
This boy is going places. He will give Rohr a selection headache. One of our u17 boys.
Have you noticed that under Rohr our boys now desire to move to better leagues.
I think it is a combination of two factors

1. Rohr's attitude towards his players to aim for the best
2. The maturation of our youth, grassroots and developmental football

You just love Rohr. See as you related the whole narrative to him

He is now officially the first team's Second Choice GK.

Is he a half cast?

Yachambliss:
Oh man! u forgot Iwobi so soon��

Oh sh%t. Like I posted it and remembered brethren.

mostob:
e shock you? Arsenal is never devoid of a single Nigerian.

The cadre teams maybe. But since Kanu till maybe Saka if he turns out for us, I can't recall any other Nigerian in the first team.

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MODIFIED:
To those asking me if the guy ever returned his phone.
When the guy was done, he called the man and he left us in his shop to wait for him by the road side.
I would not have narrated the story if I didn't know how it ended.

I am sure at one point in time we have all met at least one good and honest Nigerian.

Reading through people's comments and some of my mentions makes it look like I am the only Nigerian on this forum. Ask yourself what would you have done if you were the Zimbabwean, it is that simple. If you are not sure, then na your body the mess dey smell.

I can boldly say this, If I were the the Zimbabwean in the OP's story I would not have done it differently.

If there was a grammy for motivating and self asking, deep and profound patriotic reasonings . I'd have it for your reply

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.

You are only able to pick up an accent by the age of 14. Once you cross over that age, you are only learning to sound like the new environment. It will not be nAtural flow like it's inborn.

Inter, 2.10 odd, 20k to win 42k... I won it today.
Don't worry, you see the way Sevilla outclassed and beat Roma? That's how they are also gonna outclassed and beat Wolves.

It's a one leg affair and a neutral venue, Traore will gas out before 60mins because Sevilla plays a higher and better pressing game.

You think wolves can beat Roma whom Sevilla manhandled with all the Dzeko, Kolarov and others? This is Europe league and if they both don't meet, it's gonna be Inter vs Sevilla final.

Chai. So what about man u against Sevilla

The messi to Inter Milan move seems to be gathering momentum.

It will be good to reignite the Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry again. I hope it works out.

TheLoneCitizen:
Valencia have enquired about Chukwueze according to villarrealusa.com. The club value the player at €40M but have set his starting price at €25M because of the economic situation caused by coronavirus.

In Spain, Valencia is just a little more consistent that Villarreal for me. There is almost no difference. European Cup teams. Though Valencia rubs shoulders with the big boys in CL.

Shukusheka:
It is not even a blackman thing, it is a reflection of races still battling with poverty. White people can afford to shift their interest into wildlife because they have attained a certain level of self actualization, they have lesser fundamental things to worry about.

You are quite right to an extent.
But for a second think of this in relation to colonization of Africa. This was just how they started colonizing blacks.

Lille gave him a private jet to attend his father burial. But I think he is in Paris nw with Samuel Chukwueze enjoying a holiday prouldly sponsored by Napoli.
