Is it really hard to drive a monorail train?

Cos last time I checked... Nigerians can man a Boeing 474 Jet airliners and even Cargo ships

And above-mentioned mode of transportation involves voyage planning, calculations and other sophisticated processes when moving from point A to B

It isn't but there's this stupid notion that things must be done by an outside for them to be done right.

Nigerians have taken self-hatred to the next level.

In light of those facts this is a good movement - the goal should be for majority Nigerian staff, especially senior positions.

babyfaceafrica:
mouriho is worse....yet clubs are still after him...coaches are human beings too.....and please spare me this enyaema issue...he is no saint!!!!

Mourinho only starts causing trouble within the clubs that he works for once he has become acclimatized to the environment. That's when he antagonizes everyone, both within and outside of the club. Even then he's usually won a couple of trophies by then so other teams are willing to give him another chance. Oliseh has no such track record.

Oliseh showed a lack of tact from the beginning - one man can't challenge everyone at once, you should aim to get the senior players onside first. Oliseh showed an unwillingness to do so.

It's one thing to ostracise Enyeama if you have someone in mind who will come in and do better but it's clear that he had no such plans so why did he do if not for a complete lack of awareness and self-control?

tosyne2much:
Bros please help me explain the emboldened.. As in, I don't really get

What really happened in the camp between you and Oliseh? How were treated?

When I came to camp, I had no issues with my coach. The coach has been a big part of me. He is there for me. He fought for me when I had issues with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF). The coach defended me all the way. I have never had an issue with him.

He (Oliseh) doesn’t know me. I don’t know him. We have never played together. We have never shared a football field, together.

The first thing that happened when I first arrived at the camp was a meeting. At the meeting, the coach addressed the players. The first thing he said was that he invited four goalkeepers to camp because he never expected me to come to the camp.

Secondly, he said that I was no more the captain of the team. That he had decided and he calls the shots. That was before dinner. He ended his speech with, “Enjoy your dinner”.

For me, it was a little bit shocking because I spoke with the NFF chairman (Amaju Pinnick) during the burial of my mother in Akwa Ibom. I was trying to excuse myself from coming to the camp because of the burial. He said, “No, Vincent, you have to be in camp”. He pushed me to be in camp. And because I really respect him (Pinnick), I told him I was going to leave everything, the thanksgiving service for my late mum. I told him, I was going to abandon it and come to the camp, which I did.

All the family meetings, everything we had to do with the people in the village, I abandoned all that and came to the camp.

So, for me to get my first welcome message of being stripped of captainship was a little bit not good for me. And after I had taken my food and ate, dinner had commenced. I am just telling you what played out.

I said, “Coach, please, I would like to say something.” He said, “No, you can’t talk”. I insisted that I wanted to talk. He insisted that I can’t talk. He then said that if I wanted to talk, he would order the team out and nobody would listen to me and I would sit there and talk alone or I would have to walk out if I insisted on talking.

I said, “Coach, I still want to say something.” And he said, “Vincent, get out! You have to leave now. If you don’t leave, I’m going to call the cops, the security to throw you out of this hotel.” He used the word, “security”.

He then got up, went to the door and opened it and commanded me to go out. He said, “Go out, go out, Vincent! Or I am going to call the security.”

http://www.ladunliadinews.com/2015/10/enyeama-speaks-extensively-on-what.html

The coach said he was fully aware that Enyeama was burying his late mother over the weekend.

He said the row started when he had a chat with the team and registered his displeasure with the players over their output at the last training session.
Oliseh said while completing his speech, Enyeama raised his hand to speak and he told him he does not want any comment at least now, adding that the goal keeper can air his opinion privately with him afterwards.

“He (Enyeama) wanted to say something; and I said this is not the time for that because we just had a talk on how to improve our game, we will discuss private matters afterwards. He said no, he wanted to say something and I said no also I don’t want you to say anything now, please sit down we can talk later but he was adamant and he started raising his voice against me,” Oliseh said.

Oliseh continued: “It was then I told him that with all due respect, this is the Super Eagles and I am the coach and we are not going to have two coaches, I am to decide who talks and when… If you refuse to accept what I say, then it is better you go out. He was still adamant and trying to raise his voice. It was then I said it is either you leave or we (the team) leave the room for you. He refused and then I told him I will order him to be taken out because he was even stopping his teammates from having their dinner,” Oliseh said.

Omooba77:
I pray Oliseh succeed and still come back one day to coach Super Eagles. He is a fine man, but consumed by our bring him down at all cost politics.

He has a reputation for spreading discord. He might be a good coach and he talks about the game with a great deal of charm and eloquence but he seems to create problems unnecessarily.

Enyeama is one of Nigeria's best ever players, not known for creating problems. All of a sudden he's gone because he wanted to give a speech at dinner. That was enough to start an argument with Oliseh - does that not sound petty to you? Do you think that such a man has the man management skills to become a great football manager/coach?

waiting for government to fix bad pitches is a waste of time they can start raising funds for DAT buy hiring musicians to host shows and the profits would be used for DAT

think think

No one should wait on the government - only a handful of Nigerian states seem interested in development the rest waste too much time trying to keep traditional power brokers happy. What we should all advocate for is the removal of much of the unnecessary red tape that stands in the way of progress.

I have a lot of respect for what the NPFL has done up until now. I hope that that they continue to progress in the manner of FC Ifeanyi Ubah who has built a standalone, privately owned sporting complex for his team.

Explain to me how "I was thinking of establishing the iqamah, then ordering...etc (your own citation and interpretation)" translates as "go and set people's homes on fire". Basically you lied, he did not tell anyone to set people's homes on fire, but you said he did.

And it is not even in the Quran. Your ignorance just adds to the mix of your other endearing traits.

Try to reason in a logical and objective manner.

“I was thinking of ordering a
man to give the iqaamah, then I would order
a man to lead the people in prayer, and I
would go with some men carrying bundles
of firewood, to people who do not attend the
prayer in congregation, and I would burn
their houses down around them.”

Are you still going to lie and claim that this is not in the Quran or are you going to revert to the original lie that it was 'mistranslated'?

He told people to set fire to someone's home? And just who did he tell to set fire to someone's home, and did they disobey him, or were the homes set on fire? Do you see how you constantly try to change the actual statement in subtle ways just to arrive at your objective, knowing that the real meaning is not supportive of your assertion? The worst form of deceit is self-deceit.

I haven't changed anything.

You are claiming that he something that is written in ink isn't as it is recorded.

Maybe you need to address the author(s) of the Quran instead of wasting your time with me.

This is only perceived as an instruction of violence by those whose mind is violent. Figures of speech, or other communication can be interpreted by different people in different ways based on their mentality. The Roscharch test in psychiatry is applied based on the same principle, just to show you that what I say does have scientific backing. For those who read the hadith and understand its figure of speech in the original language in which it was spoken, and have pure hearts and minds, it implies no intent to burn any houses. For those who nurse a burning hatred for Islamic monotheism and seek to acquire tithe payers by all means to help bear the cost of fueling their Pastor's private jets, any statement is grist for their propaganda mill.

Telling people to set fire to someone's home because they won't pray with you is violence.

But keep lying to yourself that it's somehow a message a peace if that is what soothes your fragile mind...

At least have the decency to quote the hadith in full. You cited half the hadith a number of times, not once did you cite it correctly. How can you start a sentence with 'then'? Stop the insincerity. If you want to debate, base your reasoning on facts, not your personal fabrications.

“I was thinking of ordering a man to give the iqaamah, then I would order a man to lead the people in prayer, and I would go with some men carrying bundles of firewood, to people who do not attend the prayer in congregation, and I would burn their houses down around them.”

I was doing your prophet a favor by not quoting the hadith in full because instead of sounding like a blood thirsty control-freak the full version makes the author sound like a confused blood thirsty maniac.

Ur own definition of reasoning and justification is ur own problem.

What is been logical wen it is said, men shud pray the obligatory salawats in d masjid and at the right tym, give zakat, fast, perfom hajj, be good to kin and kith, be nice to ppl, females shud dress in their hijab, non-gender mixing, non-drinking of intoxicant, noni-gambling, no-to-riba etc...

In Islaam we do not use the 'logic' that made other religions the way it is today. Using logic, logic, logic made the so called men of god fantastically and corruptically rich and their mekunus.fantastically poor..bcuz logic is doin evangelism with style. Jesus son of Mary(May Allaah be Pleased with him) lived with his sahabas(Children of Israil), he didn't do dawah with 50 donkeys or horses bcuz he knows vanity is vanity.

Using logic is; is when Jesus was alive, it was just a handful of ppl dat followed him, but years later, ppl who didn't live, eat, talk, sleep, smile with him brought the religion to u LOGICIANs and u 'di mi'/embrace it with ignorance, shiooo...claiming to LOVE Jesus, and his mother, but do not practice what he practiced, do not lived the way he lived, dress the way they dressed and so on.

That's y u see d female LOGICIANs scrambling for their handkerchief wen it is time for 'adura' to cover their head, HYPOCRISY number 1...

PS: We do not use logic here. Na Logic Firawn, Ppl of Lut, Ppl of Hud, Ppl of Ibrahim, Qaroon, Namrud, Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, Musailamah d liar, and co use..na whr dem dey, they're logically HELLY!

If you use logic then you won't waste your time in church or give your money to a pastor but that is beside the point.

Why can you not use logic when discussing Islam?

Why should rational people ignore the threats that are made in the Quran?

No need for competition. we should harness or strengths and mitigate our weaknesses as a people.

All I want is each Geo political zone have at least one developed area like Lagos if not more.

the development in Lagos is still mediocre compared to other countries.

In the US you can move from one city to the other without missing a thing (maybe friends). Places like Aba, Kano, Abeokuta, Owerri etc should be centres of commerce.

Cities in the US compete with each other, as well as foreign cities.

Nothing wrong with healthy competition, it will spur the political leadership at a local and state level into action and stop them from doing what they've become accustomed to.

Lagos was neglected for at least a decade as a result of the destructive military era - if it wasn't for Buhari Lagos would already have a metro system. Thankfully, things seem to be looking up with Eko Atlantic and the new metro system.
