He looks 18 here...

Now what annoys me so much or why I am pained is that I voted him for the best young talent in our NL Nigeria player award...

I feel cheated, he is no national long term prospect to help us develop our football. That's the simple truth.

Princezibk:
You guys better face front and stop stretching ur necks into other hardworking youths life data...At 17 or so sterling boasts of 3kids, you didn’t come here to rant but na naija breeds get problem for una life...mtscheeeew

I see how you are, if you will not understand the social cultural background of a black kid of Caribbean extraction. I should probably not try to disabuse your pathos.

Read more books please... I have nothing to drag on your narrow understanding of such topics.

If you want the pretty fine things in the world the key is to work hard and be consistent.. Irrespective of Uzoho's official age which I no longer believe, he still worked hard and found himself a pretty fine wife.

He is also wearing a Red cap ..money is good.. Am not of igbo extraction but I often hear those who wear red caps are those who are affluent, wealthy , whom the society deem fit to confere traditional titles.

no wahala .... I no force you Bruv

I believe you bro.

Icon4s still thinks he is 29 sorry 19

If I recall well, Chelsea won the league under Jose Mourinho and conceded the least number of goals to win the league..

I think fourteen goals.

But the way I look at this Liverpool team, they'd likely equal that record....

A big kudos to the manager, and the big buys at the defense and goalpost. Virgil and Becker.. Well balanced by lads like Clyne, Gomez, Trent, Robert.... They make Loveren feel like he is really talented playing along them. .

Are we se for the question for today.... ...
Here is the question..

Would Leicester have won their last two games against the league giants (Chelsea and Man city) if they had started Iheanacho

Am waiting for answers on both sides

Last year wizkid reconciled with Davido, this year with skales or Dammy ....noticed the trend anytime his december concert is around he reconciles

na everybody dey use WhatsApp?

Instead of you to be asking about real life friends.....na sad people full internet, people wey no get friends. People who only have social media friends are sad, people who seek relevance on social media are sad, people who are only interested in internet arguments are sad. People who want to feel important are sad, dem go dey brag about their job, who dem know.... Dem plenty for here

I see many sad people on this thread, their only joy is from the likes from virtual people and that is why this thread dey like where ashawo dey live. So many sad people and their unverifiable importance looking for who will clap for them.

Make una just dey clap dey go. Enablers full here, whether na babe dem dey enable or na man, enablers are here.

Make I dey spread the likes sha

Na true u talk my brother... If we look am well... Many people are sad and depressed... They use social media as a medium to recuperate

safarigirl:
Why are so many people here, but nobody saying a thing?

Sleep has left me, so, I dey find talk. Somebody talk

What ever happened to your whatsapp friends...
You finished them all

Na joke and light jab... No go punch me or slap me with your words

Alata means pepper seller in Yoruba. Some of the earliest traders to the southern part of Ghana are ogbomoso traders who traded a lot in pepper. When the Ghanaian govt sent Nigerians out of Ghana a lot of these traders who have been established for decades there were affected, their properties forfeited, this was before our own retaliatory "ghana must go" ejection. So the term Alata has been used to describe Nigerians for a very long time in Ghana.

You are right about that, seems u had stayed in Ghana as well.... Even words like "agoo" which in Yoruba means excuse is the same with the Ga community who occupy central Accra region. I travelled north through kumasi, Tamale, and the upper East region. While in the upper east region "calabaar" means prostitute, I found this amusing because norther Ghana to Accra is just as far as Lagos to sokoto. So how did the word calabar get to mean prostitute there, I later realised that the first set of prostitute where from calabar who moved to settle in the upper east region.... So many cultural and language affinities we share since the British colonization ..... Travelling the coast of West Africa as a Nigerian and seeing our influence all over was really great.. I recognized the power of the Hausa language in Bamako and Ouagadougou..

krattoss:
morroco could have been a good option but they always claims superiority over African matters. They ain't in African union, last time it wagivem to them, they back pedaled citing ebola as the Case.

South Africa has overhosted it.. They may still pull a fast one, taking to cognizance that they aren't sure of qualifying against Libya.

Egypt battles struggles with rebels and isis. They ve played most of their matches in burj El Arab Cairo.

Algeria can't boast of any single roofed stadium. All their stadias I have watched are all roofless, coupled with little capacity.

Gabon hosted it last, giving it to them again is odd and a slap in the face to the African nation.

Nigeria can boast of stadium infrastructures that needs little touch to get into fine shape before the Mundial, but we face election next year. Maybe it's time to show the the world we re giants of Africa after all. But maybe too much politics and Shananigans might be a hindrance to this dream and fantasy.

Morocco is changing and they have a new trend, they seek to partake in continental events these days because they understand what they have to gain.. They have joined AU (African Union) last year.. They intend to join Ecowas as well, plus the recent visit of the Moroccan king to Abuja .

You might say this is politics, but u know how national interest play a key role in foreign policy. With the dwindling reputation of Libya in Africa, it's an opportunity for Morocco to rise up to the occasion This is to tell you how much of an interest they have in Africa. They recently hosted CHAN home based. And they will be willing to host the AFCON if given a chance

realpoacher:
Mediocrity talk... To be the best you have to beat the very best at all times

The problem is we respect our opponents too much

The bar we should be aiming for at this stage of Nigerian football should be the European standard not the African standard

If you are losing to a Cameroonian team 1:0 away

You will definitely be slaughtered 5:0 away to the North African teams

If you can't best the north Africans, how then do you measure up to the world?

I hate people with defeatist and mediocre mentality

I seriously hate ambitionless people too

Same thing with the falcons our female team. While teams like South Africa and Cameroon are closing the gap, we have consistently failed to do so since 1999 with the teams from other continent. And more annoying is that we have let these African nations catch up with us. One can no longer enjoy the female team play these side without a sense of panic.

I know we would win the finals, am sure at least by a lone goal, a goal difference or penalties. But sadly that's no longer the falcons of Mercy Udoh the wife of Colin Udoh I grew up watching.

MikkieEl:
Long, but definitely worth reading...

after u said that I went back to read it, and I found it enlightening, especially the Joseph Stalin part.

Thank you .

Icon4s:
I don't so much believe in those "names following people thing" . Even though the meaning of my English name is Rock and I ended up in a profession that studies Rocks. However, one thing I know is there are certain names that people would not want to be associated with like I mentioned Judas and Hitler.

Forget this thing u are saying I know you will not dare name your son Judas or Hitler.

So you are called Peter

Truidstar:
I don't want to get involved in this Iheanacho argument but I will say the bitter truth. Since iheancho left Man city, he has dropped badly. Even if you don't play, training week in week out with the likes of De bryune and co improves your game. Guardolia no drive am comot, Guardolia said and i quote " He wants to move for first team opportunities, if the move goes through or not, he is still part of the group". The iheancho we saw against Tanzania and Zambia, where is he? Iheancho's goal that was goal of the week on CNN where is he?

Remind me because am not too sure when he was having this record I believed he was at Man city. But the moment he switched over to Leicester City, his overall performance for the national team seem to be in declivities.. He had at the early stage of his national team career carried a goal record that made me believe he could out score rasheed yekini within a short time.. Am not too sure perhaps the house can help me out he scored something like 8 goals in 8 games for the national team. This had happened while still at Man City

jieta:
By then the league would have been over

Oh yes, thank you for that, I do recall reading that at least.

Nations cup is next year, how would a team like Liverpool fare without 2 of their key players. They both play for credible national team and can be seen as title contenders.

Well, maybe Solanke might come in handy just saying.

Oga mi, I think you guys totally 100% misunderstand my post. I wasn't tryna put anyone down or call anybody a mediocre. gosh, I don't even know the folks who have been nominated sef. I might check them out over the weekend but I haven't had time to check yet. Anyway, I was just making a generalized statement ... a general assumption, if you will, that we might end up with square pegs in round holes if we throw the nomination open, as an all comers affair.

If you come down to it, I am NOT asking to be nominated. And if nominated, I might not even have the time to be effective in the committee due to the pressure on my time right now. However, I was just pointing out the need to have the right people in that committee. Not to sound conceited or anything but some of us have played this game to a very decent level. Some of us have the right connections and contacts in high and low places, both at home and abroad (a la Tbaba1234 and Joebie). Some of us have followed this game and even coached this game long enough to understand the game (a la Icon4s etc.).

That's what's driving my recommendation. My intention was never to put anybody down or for a shameless self promotion. Having said that, I formally withdraw my name from the nomination, but let's give the other 5 candidates a very good consideration.

Those are just thoughts but I would implore y'all to give those thoughts a very good consideration if we want to achieve our aim of forming this committee. There's a saying in my village that na "ora adighi atu ero". Even in the Bible, when they were about to replace Judas Iscariot, they established some standards/qualifications for the ideal candidates. They didn't threw the whole thing open for all comers.

Just thoughts ....


O pari

Taa, shut up ya mouth there, u don miss yarn be you don miss yarn, no come dey give us long speech about you being busy here. You need learn work on yourself, based on my perception about you and first encounter with you which has badly defined you to me if I must say, but u still keep displaying such uppity without critically accessing yourself. I just wonder how many good friend you have in real life who could deal with your hubris.

Chei, they have sold us finally in this country...

See as the house be like bank or stock market center, with all the wall clocks to tell the time in Kano, Lagos, onitsha and Aba.

Did u smell agbero poo talk oozing out from his mouth

I'd donate for wiki before donating anything for my university lectures... They are Capitalist who call themselves Marxist. Sadist who call themselves parents

Icon4s:
U can only nominate one person.

Nominate who u want. Just by the mention he will be available.

Just like TheSuperNerd has just showed face.

Note that you are still yet to nominate.

Alright sir, I'd stick with Mujtahida

I'd nominate Mujtahida but I wonder where he has been, should he come around to acknowledge this fine, but in his absence, komekn

proxillin:
Yoruba or not, this is educational. And fact should superceede sentiment. I could have ranked Fulanis the second, but they disappear and mingle with their captors easily. Their influence is difficult to measure.

Rank fire. When I have the YouTube video u actually got this from.. I feel ur type and plagiarism.. It is a crime u know?

andrew444:
You made a point but please kindly remove ryan giggs and terry as example,i beg you

Those 2 men are very wicked and they can kill,dat 1 no b drunkness issue o

Yes, but that didn't stop them from being some of the best players in Europe.

Ryan giggs slept with his brother's wife. John Terry slept with a teammates wife or girlfriend, dele Alli had a video of him receiving Mouth Gig, come on Southgate. These things happens. Players get drunk leaving bar and drive recklessly, they get fattened up... Players have goal drought for seasons..

There are no emotional bias when u see a country man playing or starting, it's patriotism and not bias. We are not saying Isaac success is the best player or hyping him in Watford, we are only appreciative that is all

ChrisKels:
But u guys said CAR aint got nothing going for them, maybe u all were/are wrong because CAR actually is a good team and they are definitely better than Libya. Ever cared to check CAR home record lately?


That pic and what it depicts is disrespectful, dont wanna tow that lane again. Be civil, otherwise, I wouldn't reply next time.

Actually when u said the pic was annoying, I went back looked at it again, laughed and then liked it. Its was then I realized it was funny
