No. They had a top 4 finish at the last world cup.

I wonder why the star-studded Portugal team played rubbish in the 1st half, showing lack of interest, passing the ball back and around, not showing any eagerness to create scoring chances, leaving the forwards idle. E be like say dem no wan make Ronaldo achieve his world cup dream. Make dem substitute am now, you go see how dem go play like person wey dey on steroid.

I know say Zaidu go Bleep up for him side. It's 2:1 now. No wahala

Na countries wey don chop belleful dey send satellites go space

Nigeria has at least 4 functional satellites in space. I think it has launched about 7 in total.

I later realised that Lookman is the only black player in Athletico Madrid, at least in the main team.

saintbillion:
The worst list ain't complete. Where's the almighty failed naira?

Naira had a positive (+...) performance relative to the Dollar in 2025, only that it was not one of the top performers listed - a case of inconclusive or average performance .

Brendaniel:
How did Farotimi commit cyber crime against Afe Babalola?

How did Angela Okorie commit cyber bullying against Mercy Johnson?

Are you asking this question? These cases have been viral online. Do a quick check: Farotimi published that Afe used his influence and wealth to buy favourable judgements from the Supreme Court, etc; Angelo repeatedly accused Mercy of witchcraft. These are heavy accusations tantamount to 'murder' without cocking a gun, especially as the plaintiff is able to established that such publications (libel or slander) has done a damage to their image in the sight of right-thinking persons.

Brendaniel:
I just see this as Legal bullying, if you claimed somebody defamed you, you charge the person to court, let it now be that the person is rejecting court summons, then the court effects an arrest but...

You find out with legal bullying that happens a lot in Nigeria, it is the other way round, you claim someone defamed you, you arrest an detain the person before taking the person to court, haven't you already judged and sentenced the person before allowing the person to defend himself with evidence of his/her claim against you and you see some Nigerians here supporting this legal bullying...

I will list cases here for example:

1. Afe Babalola vs Farotimi - Legal Bullying

2. Mercy Johnson vs Angela Okorie - Legal Bullying

3. Peter Obi vs Adeyanju - Legal process

4. Erisco vs The pregnant woman - Legal Bullying

If we are to go by the examples listed above, to me, only Peter Obi followed the right process and has shown good leadership example among these people listed in that regard, even the Lady in the United States that accused Macron of marrying a man was not arrested, she was only charged to court and she said she will defend it with facts, same with those calling Michelle Obama a man, have you ever seen anyone of them arrested for doing that? Highest if Obama is angry, he will charge them to court, let it now be that the the court decides to arrest them.

Mercy has not actually done anything illegal in getting Angela arrested. She has taken advantage of the provisions of the law, as defamation can either be civil or criminal under the Nigerian law. Moreover, cyberbullying also falls under a definition of cybercrime in our laws, which makes it a crime against the State. It was based on this same provision that Afe babalola had Farotimi whisked from Lagos to Ekiti, yet Farotimi (as a lawyer himself) could not refute it or win the case. If people had not begged for him, he was going straight to prison. Law no be social media o. Law is law whether we agree or not.
Why will people take pleasure in malicious slandering and bullying of people online and when you now go for them legally, they cry? O wrong now. if you have been a victim, you will know how painful and depressing this can be. It kills.

Let's go Oluyole Warriors!

What a goal! Mane is a gem. He rose to the occasion when action was needed. He won the ball and set up a move that would lead to an undeniable goal. A masterclass!

Ahahahahaha. What a miss!

The referee canceled a clear goal for Senegal, and minutes later he awarded a penalty to Morocco.

They are staging a walk-out

Delat521:
They are not coming out against us as they do today. They are more defending conscious with us than they do with Senegal.

If they come out seriously like this against us, we would have wipe them silly. They always backtracked and choke their mid field whenever we had balls to prevent us from attacking because that's where we orchestrated many of goal courtesy of Iwobi.

I pray Senegal win this match, Moroccanare not rock solid as really champ just being favoured by home and referee advantage

That's true. I agree with you. They didn't come all out against us, so their back was not open for our forwards to breathe.

ogbe88:
U guys boast too much, u wan beat morocco.

For real now. We had the quality, pedigree, and antecedent in the competition to beat them. Why couldn't they defeat us now? See as these Senegalese dey match them man to man. Hakimi has been restricted and Mane is flying!

Na Yasine Bono dey save them now. Senegal for don score at least 2 goals already.

Basicend:
I was highly disappointed with the super eagles play against Morocco.

They made Morocco look like prime Brazil.

As in! I shock. Before our game, I dey very sure say SE go beat Morocco easily. We only needed to play the same beautiful and attacking football we played against Algeria and we would have beaten Morocco. Only to see sudden loss of confidence, silly loss of possession, and reluctance to play forward. Chai!

Ekaka14:
Yes, so far Senegal has thrown the Morrocans off

And there is no needless panic or respect for the Moroccans. They are playing with calmness, confidence, and composure.

Senegal dey ball mehn! This was what I expected the Eagles to play against the Moroccans in the semi final. If we had attacked them the way we attacked Algeria with our dangerous attack, we would have won the game in regulation.

Nigeria try abeg. No blame at all to anyone.
Afterall, we had possession too and we held Morocco till the end without any major threat. To even see say Morocco dey on the defensive too show say dem fear us too. Fair result for me.

femi4:
You defended for 80mins ...what a negative football from Egypt

Salah joined Drogba as one of Afican best without Afcon title

I was telling people that they shouldn't have won against Ivory Coast. Egypt did not play anything special all through the tournament. The way Ivory Coast played against them was like they ain't interested in going on. Anyway, an all West-African final and an all North-African 3rd place face-off is what I am betting on.

It was ball to hand at close range, and Semi's arm was in a somewhat natural position by his movement, not that he raised his arm when the ball was approaching him.

Besides, we were also denied a goal in the first half, when Bassey's cross crossed the line at the far post. Goal line technology would have decided that easily. CAF needs to have that in place for this important competition.

Finally, the stat cleared all doubts. Come on! Nigeria outclassed and outplayed the Foxes, who recorded 0 shots on target.

They got one back. Game on

Tayorshd87:
SCORING A GOAL ⚽ WITHIN 10MINUTES WHEN THE GAME STARTS IS WHAT WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW MORROCCO TO DO FOR NAIJA ...

HMMM HE GET WHY OO.

EGYPT DON NET THEM ASAP

That's true. But with the way Nigeria is sharp and solid in all departments for the first time in decades, I dey even fear for the host country now. Nigeria is on the path to glory.

Which kain Ivory Coast be dis? Conceding an early goal. I actually tipped them to win this game. Egypt has been below par in this competition.

Akor Adam should have scored. He has missed some decent chances.

Anyway, it seems FIFA is waiting to see Nigeria's performance, before deciding on NFF petition against CRD.

South Africa is down 2:0 to Cameroon. It looking like it's the end of the road for our rivals down south.

The Pharaohs are taking this match too seriously. Like it's a competitive AFCON match. The officiating is not okay either.

ibtommy:
.
Yes o. I support you. I miss the likes of Kanu, Okocha, Uche, etc. No SE again

Nigeria's problem has been for long. Even when Kanu, Okocha and the likes were playing, dem dey Bleep up too and na like this we dey yab them.

It seems like an endless cycle.

YourGFsnatcher:
I'm a mathematician. I understand statistics. If 89% if the 20% stay in lagos. Then explain how over 50% again live in Abuja. If 89% of the top 20% live in lagos. Then that lives only 11% scattered all over the country. How is fct having over 50% when lagos alone has 89% of the 20%.,?
I know what I'm talking about

You still don't get it. If the population of Nigeria is 250million, and 20% of that represent the wealthiest people in Nigeria (say Nigerians making anything above 100million Naira annually), that is 50million people. If out of the 50million wealthiest Nigerians, 17.8million live in Lagos and total population of Lagos is 20million, then, although 35% (that is 17.8m/50m x %) is Lagos share of the total national figure, 89% (that is 17.8m/20m) of Lagosians are among the wealthiest in Nigeria. The same goes for all other States and the FCT. I hope you understand now.

YourGFsnatcher:
The north cannot be in that
But I'm still confused with the start. Does is mean that 89% of the top earning 20% of the people in Nigeria live in lagos, or 89% of lagosians fall within the top earning 20% of Nigerians? Pls explain

It means the total number of Lagosians that are among the top 20% of Nigerian biggest earners is equivalent to 89% of Lagos State population. You will see that this is not rocket science, Lagos is where the biggest earners in all sectors (white collar, blue collar, business, trade, etc.) reside.

YourGFsnatcher:
What kind of Statistics is that? The data is not right. You said 20% of wealthiest Nigerians, yet you have 89% of the 20% living in lagos and other 70%, 50% etc living in other places. That doesn't make sense. Check that data again

It's correct. The stat shows the share of each state's residents who fall within the bracket of the highest income people in Nigeria (20% of all resident Nigerians). This means Lagosians have the most high income people in Nigeria, followed by Abuja, Edo, and so on.
This list is consistent with other stats we know already. So I am surprised that people are expecting Northern states, where poverty, low quality of life, subsistent livelihood are endemic and there is a wide gap between the few wealthy and the poorest of the poor, to be in the top 12 list. Come on now!
You don't need any stat for you to know that the most people doing well generally in Nigeria are the Southern part of the country.

Don't be hard on Nigeria, guys. Universities in most top countries in the world (UK, Germany, France, Canada, etc.) don't make the cut.
