Mastakija: According to the narrative, Zik’s National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC) came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.
Awolowo’s Action Group (AG), came 2nd with 1,992, 364 votes to get 73 seats.
However, Sir. Ahmadu Bello’s Northern People’s Congress (NPC) came a distant 3rd with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives, despite getting fewer public votes.
What kind of school did you attend to write this rubbish? How can a party that wins fewer number of votes be getting higher number of seats. It's like Lai Mohammed is your uncle.
Mastakija: ZIk had thought that the Igbo could easily manipulate the Fulani, unlike the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963 for treasonable felony.
So Zik is now responsible for jailing Awolowo, no longer Tafawa Balewa. Anyway, it's in your character to shift blames. That's how ENDSARS later became Igbos trying to destroy Lagos according to you people.
Mastakija: Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Isekiri and western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them Mid-Western Region.
In your ignorant mind, there is a place called Urhobo and Itsekiri that you can carve out from a place.
SlyDev: No amount of propaganda by IPOB will dent this man image, why is that the region with worst behaviour and upbringing [/b]are the first to always throw the first stone.
[b]Abba kyari is a fine gentleman, he deserve some accolades
With this statement I can imagine the kind of upbringing you, your family and your region have.
Supporting a man whose criminal and fraudulent activities have been exposed!
Beancounter94: There is no nepotism (and no I am not IPOB or BMC or an Ibobohite...so don't go there)
Basketball is not popular in Nigeria. As a result the standard of our home based players is very poor. So, we choose from Nigerians born oversea...who may be playing in the US, but because their teams roster are too good...don't get enough playing time.
As a result we have a VERY limited talent pool to choose from.
Even if we had a team that reflected Nigeria's diversity, and was chosen 'on merit'...we would have still lost.
What we need to do now is do what the US did to get better in football...start from the grassroots, popularise the game among kids in the village and the city, build basketball courts all over and make basketballs accesible, build courts in schools and so on.
I know a fellow Nigerian who lives in Italy and who coaches youth basketball part time. The game popular there well well. Italy also has a brilliant basketball league which has attracted talent and expertise from the USA over the years, and does well at European and world level .We don't have that here.
Here is a Nigerian that is brilliant. Not all those shouting nepotism.
This team is the best we can assemble. Any other "mixed" team will perform far worse than this.
Osanoghodua1: The coach that did this selection should be fired, why pick only men from your ethic group? When there are other sound players? Investigation should be made if he was bribed.
That's wat happened when u put Nepotism ahead of competency. we are just accusing Buhari of tribalism but we Nigerian will do worse if we are fortunate to be president. Imagine that Igbo coach pack all his brother for Nigeria basketball team... Rubbish, abeg if u quote me to say trash I go curse you..
Since blessing is out, I hope Ajuwon and Haruna Quadri will bring atleast bronze come home.
Addendum: My mentions are crowded. Over here we run on logic not emotions. A lawyer who knows his onus doesn’t conduct himself in this manner. Falana just secured El Zakzaky’s release, did you hear any noise? Do you know how many times El Zakzaky was ordered to be released? Falana didn’t incite his followers; or turn to the media everytime, he kept working and eventually it paid off.
If it was these IPOB baby lawyers we wont hear word. Once a case is in court it becomes a battle between prosecution and defense both parties coming at each other with whatever they can come up with. Its normal.
You don’t expect the other party to roll over and treat you like a lover. They have said go and wait for approval; then you go and keep working on your case. There’s a lot to cover and a lot of consultations to be made and connections to be tapped & bridges to be built. Their job is to get him out of jail not visit him there everyday.
One thing is they’re giving gullible IPOB the impression that they can get MNK off the hook soon. A case that would most likely take years, if they don't slow down they’ll tire out before the real battle begins.
Ejiofor and the other guy are enjoying the fame now. Its only a matter of time before the truth kicks in and IPOB online soldiers get fed up with them then they’ll feel the heat.
Point to note from this write-up is that Reno and his brothers like Omo-Agege and Keyamo are Fulani slaves. The Fulani use their oil and give them peanuts and they are contented.
chocboi78: lol chill.. What he meant is that even AKWA United that was robbed against rivers have also been involved in matching irregularities wen playing at home too
Thanks my guy. What I wrote is very clear but poiZon chose to argue.
Paulianfa: Hmmmm.mmmmmmmmmmmm Nothing works in Nigeria The other day Kano Pillars fan troop into a stadium at 98mins of play to interrupt the ref Vs Akwa United and nothing was heard about it up till now. LMC is a scam, Nigerian league is useless, no laid down rules and regulations, Just do as u like...
I was at the stadium live and only 5 minutes was added. If you see the kind of delay tactics that MFM employed ehnn, they were even supposed to add like 8 minutes. Even, a clean Enyimba goal was disallowed about 89th minute.
Aba fans that normally cheer the away team when they play well were even frustrated by the antics of MFM. The same Aba fans all stood up and cheered Jigawa Stars the previous weekend when they scored first against Enyimba in Aba. MFM is a good side but all those unnecessary delay tactics doesn't encourage good football. Enyimba's second goal in added time was a very good goal and they mounted serious pressure on MFM before the goal came.
You can ask anybody about what I wrote here or you try and watch the video.
This is courtesy of Enyimba TV. There is nothing to hide.
lakesider: Very good of you.. I hope the tax been made from epl and the economic development associated with epl is been used in developing your village.
Abeg ask am oo.
Epl can't be what it is if their people don't support it.
Of course MFM tactics is not new in football, even Chelsea use to park the bus to win a game
Let alone MFM ? Even you will delay to get that one point
This is not about parking the bus. It's about falling down when nobody touches you. A keeper will pass ball to his defender and fall down and they will spend two minutes treating him. When did Chelsea do that?
If the official added time is 5 mins and you spend 3 mins treating players, are they not going to add more time? The official added time is the minimum time they can play. It may not be the maximum. Enyimba scored in the 95th minute which is within the official added time. The fact that the ref even added three more minutes is to the disadvantage of Enyimba.
But the match was dragged to 98 minutes. End was ended when enyimba scored at 95 minutes
Finals score. Enyimba 2 - 1 MFM
Hana naija
Baba it's not true.

poiZon: Match 32, rivers utd against akwa utd, something funny happened in the deing minutes. Linesman raise flag against akwa utd player after he won a clear cut challenge and was heading to score xos he was one on one with the goalkeeper. Even the spectators were alarmed and amazed what the flag was for.. Kano pillars against dakkada, dakkada scored a clear goal from set piece, linesman ruled it out for offside. The replay showed otherwise. Npfl really need to work on their officials and if possible sanctions should be meted to those who intentionally or purposely make teams lose games.
This same Akwa Utd that is about to win the league is also involved in all these things.
Out of four matches in which the officials were suspended just few days ago for bad officiating, two were Akwa Utd home matches.
