Ighalo to score. anybody wanna bet against that. |
komekn:Go back and digest fabyom's opinion on this issues. He has made better points. |
Icon4s:But sir I thought the "up Bendel" was a popular slogan for the defunct Bendel insurance team. My maternal grandfather was a die hard fan, and whenever they lost their match in Lagos, my dad said he was always livid. Then when he was calm they would taunt him saying "up Bendel " |
ChrisKels:Am surprised to see somewhere that Yakubu Aiyegbeni is also an Edo boy? |

Olodo OP, this Cape coast university is in Ghana, and not in South Africa |

Observation : Is it just me who is beginning to feel these Memes are making the pages unnecessarily longer, plus a little too trite. Can we reduce it at least. |
Look at that ojo abiodun, he has been in the school since 2012. Haba. For a course of 4 years and this is 2018. He no won graduate Bt na to ruin younger susceptible student lifes. |
Icon4s:I know Rashidat from her secondary school days at St Joseph secondary school, surulere. I have a strong attachment based on how long I have known her. But, if I were to be fair, frankly she hasn't delivered as much as I had hoped. With such abysmal performances at the group stage, she wouldn't even bench a Courtney Dike of 2014. Clearly our goalie has been better and most likely would be in the national team. This Rashidat can't bench oparanozie, neither can she bench asisat. Maybe an honourable bench member. |
It is true that we have moved from ranking states as first world, second world and third word. Hence the transition to developed country, developing country and underdeveloped country. If we are to promote the Nigerian brand concept we would refer to ourselves as developing nation. Which can still be the old Second World nation. Now nations that are largely in developing countries such consist largely of BRICS nations except Russia. BRICS is a fusion of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. These counties are miles ahead of Nigeria. From TaTa vehicles in India, to Marcopolo buses made in Brazil. These are global brands. Mind you the Chinese still refer to themselves as a developing nation despite how much many of their states along the coastal region are miles developed beyond Singapore. Look beyond this to the north south gap. Economic power. Organisations like GATT and WTO have only proven to favour the North which refers to the western world. This is simple political economics. It's a hard pill to swallow, but we must first admit it that we are a Third World country. |

13 1' SPORTS NFF is being run illegally –Abdulmumini Aminu Published August 7, 2018 Abdulmumini Aminu,a former Chairman of the then Nigeria Football Association , on Tuesday in Abuja called for the introduction of an enabling law for the present-day Nigeria Football Federation. Aminu told the News Agency of Nigeria that the NFF was being run illegally at the moment and therefore needed an enabling law for effective football administration in the country. He consequently called on the National Assembly to urgently enact laws which would enhance the operations of the NFF. “The key to curbing the crisis in the NFF is an Act of the National Assembly. “The NFF is illegally run, because there is no law backing it. The NFF is being run by Decree 101 which was used for the NFA. “Unless the National Assembly helps to enact an act or create an enabling law for the NFF, we are still going to have problems,’’ the retired Nigerian Army Colonel said. He said the leadership tussle between Amaju Pinnick and Chris Giwa had dragged for too long because of lack of laws for the federation. NAN reports that “A Bill for an Act to Repeal the Nigeria Football Association Law 2004 and Enact the NFF Act to Provide for the Administration of the Game of Football in Nigeria and for other Related Matters” is currently before the National Assembly. |
krattoss:Putting Rwanda alongside Nigeria shows ur weak understanding of global politics and economics |

I saw this article on main page. But the first comment got me pondering. https://www.nairaland.com/4659251/jim-nwobodo-what-abacha-did Jim Nwobodo, a former old Anambra governor, has revealed some events that happened during the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. A former governor of old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, relives the victory of the Super Eagles in Atlanta Olympics of 1996 and how he saved Kanu Nwankwo from Coach Westerhof. The Super Eagles won the gold medal in the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 when you were the Sports Minister. Can you share with us the story of what happened then? They (Super Eagles) beat Japan, beat Brazil and also beat other big teams. That was the time we had wonderful players. You can only know the best team when they go out of the country and play the best teams in the world. Mikel Obi is playing in China and there are other young boys like Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa, Kelechi Iheanacho and many others. There is one thing I like about Nigerian football. Nigerians are football lovers, there is no doubt about that and football has the ability to unite Nigerians. I remember very well the 1996 event when we played in Atlanta Olympics. Nigeria was a pariah nation. The day we reached the climax was the day Nigeria met Brazil. We had a very strong team, those who were determined to do their best to make Nigeria proud. Two things happened that day. We got into the field and, in the first half, they (Brazil) were leading Nigeria by 3-1. I sat by the side of then – FIFA President, Joao Havelange, a Brazilian lawyer, businessman and athlete who served as the 7th FIFA President from 1974 to 1998 and I told him we will beat Brazil and he started laughing because we were two goals down. Half time break pep talk During the half time break, I went to our boys in the dressing room and called them one by one, starting with Sunday Oliseh, then Daniel Omokachi, Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha, Victor Ikpeba, Celestine Babayaro and others. I urged them not to disgrace me and Nigerians and they assured me that they will beat Brazil. I then called the coach, Clemens Westerhof, who complained that Kanu was not playing well and that he would remove him. I ordered him not to remove the young man. I threatened to sack him if he removed Kanu. He complied with my order and allowed Kanu to play in the second half. In the second half, Okocha scored the second goal, making it 2-3; another goal was scored by Kanu to make it 3-3 and second half ended. In the extra time, we had what is called the golden goal then and, five minutes after, Kanu scored the golden goal and the match ended. Everyone was surprised but God was at work and I heard Him (God) when I said Kanu should not be removed. Kanu became the man of the match. We were excited and many whites and many Africans, who did not know about the Dream Team, started painting themselves in green white green. I was also told that families that were not in talking terms for ten years reconciled because of that match. Sweet victory Then – Head of State, General Sani Abacha, who was not in the habit of answering telephone calls, called almost all of us, including my wife. He did not stop there. He had to wait for us alongside some state governors for two days under the rain at the City Gate, Abuja when we returned to Nigeria and that was what that victory did to Nigeria. What a sweet victory! The second thing that happened was that Chioma Ajunwa told me that she and other Nigerian athletes were yet to be paid their 300 dollars per day on the day she would compete. I saw reason with her but I told her it was a very small amount. I promised her that I will give her 10,000 dollars if she won a gold medal, she was shocked. I advised her to go for the long jump if she was good at that. Her first jump earned her gold medal for Nigeria and I gave her 10,000 dollars. This thing is about leadership and encouraging people around you. So, sport, in itself, is something that, if properly developed, will bring the country together. Look at what sport is doing in the world today. If you are a sports administrator, you are known all over the world. FIFA President is bigger that any President in the world. My worry is that Nigeria has not given proper attention to sports. What is your rating of journalists in Nigeria? Nigeria has the freest press in the world; journalists write anything and get away with it and they hold people accountable and nobody can fight them. In Nigeria, I can say that we have a very free and strong press. I really don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing, except that they should always get their facts right. What is your take on employers owing workers? Any employer that owes his workers should not expect them to be loyal to him. Such could expose workers to temptation because they have to take care of themselves and their families. It is not good to owe your workers; whether they are journalists, footballers, civil servants, you don’t need to owe them. Workers deserve their wages. So it is not good at all. You should do everything possible not to owe your workers. What about state governments owing workers? I mean it’s unfair. It is ungodly and unchristian. If you don’t pay workers, what do you want them to do? In fact, when I was governor, I didn’t have anything as salary arrears. Throughout my stay in Government House, I never owed anybody for one month because one thing you do as a leader is to pay your workers before any other thing. That is the first charge and, from there, you motivate them to work harder. So, any governor that owes workers for months is not fit to be a governor. Although, some governors have said that the problem about payment of salaries stems from the many problems confronting them, that argument does not hold water because you can still sit down and arrange your budget to make the recurrent less than the capital. You give capital budget priority over recurrent. |
ChrisKels:The hands of Monaco sporting Director. Michael Emenalo guy. We could possibly see another Nigerian player move there soon enough |
John Ogu scores in CL qualifiers . |
ChrisKels:Put this in perspective, a country of less than 50 million to a country if about 170 million. That's almost four times it size. We do have a larger number of young players in Europe equally |
komekn:Chei this fourth paragraph gave me goosebumps. |
andrew444:And how many man of the match performances has that fetched Rakitic and Subasic.. As far as the world cup is concerned Modric has won more man of the match performances |
This English team, mark my words is guaranteed the next semi finals in Qatar.... |
Grupo:Your first time hearing about Kazak equally means you have not been reading and learning, so don't judge others |
Should England face Russia, there is need to tighten security |
ALL HAIL JAPAN.... |
France could only score 3 goals in the group stage, today they are 4 goals up against Argentina . Croatia scored their highest number of goals in the group against Argentina, which was 3 Iceland got a point Argentina But my Nigeria |
In all sincerity France is not even playing anything against this Argentine, yet they are winning. I thought we did well against Argentina, but watching France beat them with little effort now, and remembering how Iceland held them, I think it's a slap to our face. Eagles really screwed up |
Would Nigeria not have been a credible opponent against this France. If we were why did we lose against Argentina? |
Look at how Mbape is playing this Argentine defense. Terrorising the defense and running them ragged |
Thank God we are out, some people would have been advocating for Ighalo to start against France. Like he would ever score any goal. His miss today hurts me above Yakubu Aiyegbeni's miss against South Korea. |
