I waited for SA to easily throw them out before replying you.

Is appalling how you guys have refused to notice underperforming player/players but their performance on the field keeps showing otherwise.

SF are not improving but you guys have bent on defending failure.

I never denied that they performed badly in this tournament they did performed badly, but you can't write off the tournaments they were at their best, especially alozie

1vandragon:
Which ever comment you chose to pick.

Bottom line is that right and wrong can be very subjectiveand depends on who is being righted and wronged.

For clarity sake, your ceaser quote seems right for ceaser, but are those whose lands he seized not being wronged?

For bakassi, a land shared by colonial powers and they had no say in where they would want to be. For Cameroon, it seemed a right decision, but for the indigenous people who had no say, is the decision right for them?

You didn't answer the question, your first comment which I gave my own opinion on was it right for all?

Or are we going to end the conversation that we are both wrong and right?

1vandragon:
Wrong for who and right for who?

Bakassi was initially shared between Great Britain and Germany. Did the indigenous people have a say in where they should be?

The indigenous people did not have a say in the court judgment neither where they consulted. Hope you see how you keep contradicting yourself.

You are just flogging the issue, to what end, I do not know. You felt you had to give an opinion on my own view which is fine, but like I said, what is right to you might be wrong to another.

Ok , your first comment which i gave my opinion on what right for all ?

gmo10:
Why bringing Jesus Christ and his disciples into politics in a country that is highly charged religiously. Is this necessary, will this affect his Uncle's chances at the polls? These questions are begging for answers

Have you ever heard that Christians mobbed someone to death cause they said something about Jesus or his disciples? In Nigeria , do you think Christians Are like Muslims?

1vandragon:
Then you don't understand the history of that phrase you used.

Notwithstanding, what you are so adamant is right might not be right in the eyes of another.

1 question, was it wrong or right for

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give the final verdict , that sovereignty over the Bakassi Peninsula belongs to Cameroon and requested Nigeria to withdraw its administration and military forces from the area. ?

1vandragon:
Lol. You are the one that brought up ceasar and I simply showed you the lacuna in that assertion.

Well, like I had previously stated, what seems right to you, may not be right to others.

The phrase give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar has never been about a conquest, Jesus wasn't talking about conquest when he made that statement

Well like I said earlier the only way to settle this Urhobor ijaw and itsekiri conflict is by boundary adjustment and it should be done in fairness and equality, give Urhobor what belongs to them, give ijaw what belongs to them and give itsekiri what belongs to them

SarcasticWords:
The Olodo Uprising is global and believe it or not, the cause is technology (phones, computers, internet).

Some countries are already taking effective measures to curb this Olodo pandemic.

Am so happy that here in Nigeria, we are copying the mistake of oyibo people by embracing digital learning in schools, giving our young children expensive phones and tabs at home which enables them to have good intelligent academically sound role models like peller.

It has nothing to do with technology (phones computer and Internet) as you mentioned, my uncle that was a teacher in USA said to me back in 2000 when me and him were watching black Americans music on MTV he said most of these black Americans might look good and all that but majority of them are illiterate they can't read and write plus the English they speak is just like pidgin English

1vandragon:
Ahh...

So where is the justice for those whose lands ceasar had occupied?

Or is might now right to you?

You spoke about redrawing boundries to fabour indigenous people, yet you are supporting forceful conquest... interesting contradiction.

I said nothing about forcefully conquest, give the lands Caesar conquered to the owners of the land , and give caesar what belongs to him , adjust boundaries put indigenous people back with their Kith and kin

I like davido , and yes hit songs means having songs that achieves massive, mainstream popularity, high commercial sales, and widespread cultural recognition. Rather than just being a well-written track, he is right

1vandragon:
History is filled with people who committed dastardly acts while believing they were acting rationally.

When Ceaser was invading independent territories and city-states, and forcing them to give to 'ceasar what belongs to ceasar', he believed he was acting rationally.

An irrational person will always try to rationalise an irrational action and insist that is the only rational course of action.

If the coin was made by Caesar and his face was on the coin , give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, it's simple as that

1vandragon:
Most people who think they are doing a rational thing by forcing others to accept thier so called rational ways are usually the most irrational people.

"The kind who take and don't give. The kind to whom you give and give, and they keep asking."

That's not true, a rational thinker works with fact's and truth, only an irrational person works with sentiment not facts , a rational thinker will always agree that it is the best thing to give Cesar what belongs to Cesar , an irrational person will use feelings and think when he gives Cesar what belongs to him , Cesar might ask for more and more they just work with feelings not fact

1vandragon:
Again, what seems right to you, may not be right for another.

Any rational thinking person will not see wrong when the right thing is done, unless you are telling me it is wrong to "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar

1vandragon:
What seems right to you may not be right for another.

Like I said with regards to my original position, Nigeria will end up breaking into pieces if caution is not exercised and cooler heads prevail.

Good, to prevent Nigeria from breaking into pieces let the right thing be done, if some , tribes , clans ethnic groups etc feal they were cheated during state , community local government etc creation then federal government have to look into it

If Nigeria could give Bakassi Peninsula back to Cameroon a different country, it should be easy for Nigeria to do boundary adjustment within its territory to bring a solution to the ethnic conflict between the groups involved

1vandragon:
So what is now your grouse? Because you seem simply bent on complaining.

No solution is going to be perfect, even redrawing borders will cause its own conflict, but feel free to continue to complain.

It's not about me bent on complaining, whether I complain or not it wont solve the problem between the Ijaw, Urhobo, and Itsekiri until the right thing is done that's the topic at hand

1vandragon:
Good suggestion, and that simply fine tunes my initial suggestion and at the same time strengthens my view that a division would lead to fragmentation and perpetual conflicts among warring factions.

Even without division the conflict is still going to happen, it will increase in the future as a lot of these minority tribes are growing in population and trying to be fully represented in a country were only those who have their kinsmen in the corridor of power gets more national benefits

1vandragon:
What will?

border adjustment , alot of these ethnic tension exist cause different ethnic groups, tribes, clans have been caved out or separated from their kinsmen and forced into a community, local government or state with other ethnic groups, clans or tribe they do not belong to

1vandragon:
True. And that further validates my position that Nigeria breaking up will lead to total chaos.

You said
What is needed is local government resource control

It won't solve the problem

1vandragon:
I laugh when people say the country should divide...

If nigeria divides, it won't divide the way people think, into 4 or six neat geographical areas... Nigeria will divide into PIECES...

what we would have are warlord territories even in areas where we think the people are united...

What is needed is local government resource control but a central check mechanism to prevent abuse.

But are you aware
Ethnic tension in Warri between the Ijaw, Urhobo and Itsekiri is driven by historical disputes over land ownership, political control, and the distribution of oil wealth. Each group claims indigenous ownership of the city, leading to fierce competition for supremacy and local government power.

herich:
Even her past performance.
Her ball control is zero,
her passes are not always accurate.
Try to be studying players closely.

Even when Mikel was in Chelsea,
People use to hail Mikel,,,,, Mikel na gba ball...
I told people, I don't see anything spectacular Mikel was exhibiting, except giving passing to the nearest player, but I was crucified for bursting that,,, not until after some years, same people started confessing that Mikel no dey even play any better ball, rather to be giving nearest players ball.

I started noticing decline in their performance since 4 years ago but most of you were carried away by SF will always deliver.
Look,,, Nigerian players are shambolic
For the past 4 year, they have been playing like primary school pupils that just started playing football.
Ball control ZERO, they barely complete 3 passes at a roll.
What they've been playing and has been working for them is cut and join football and kick and follow.
SA, Zambian, Ivory coast, Malawian, Tanzanian, Algerian ladies (not to mention Morocco) plays better and professional standard (for women level) football than our ladies, if you really watched those ladies games.
I've seen so much improvement from some African countries and Nigeria is not improving.
I was surprised Nigeria qualified from group stage but I knew Cameroon will take them out because I watched Cameron's performance during group stage and I've not missed any match of this WAFCON.

You are not being fair in your judgement

Alozie has performed exceptionally well in her position as a right back player
Right from when she first played
In the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. She played every minute of the tournament for the Super Falcons we all remember how she gave one of Englands star players lauran James tough time and how Lauren James got frustrated and fouled and stamped on her while she was on the ground which led to her sent off for violent conduct after a VAR intervention, receiving a two-game ban

The Previous tournament she scored from a long-range 35-yard, in last 94th-minute to secure a 2-1 victory for Nigeria's Super Falcons against South Africa , sending Nigeria through to the tournament final. The girl is good, in 2023 she was named amongst 11 best players in Africa, so down playing her performance questioning why she even made it to super falcon team it's unfair judgment , even Chiamaka Nnadozie who is African best goalkeeper performed badly in this tournament

herich:
To me, that Alozie plays like someone who hasn't touched ball in her life before.

I still wonder how she make national call up.

Are you judging her by her performance in this tournament? How about her performance in the past?

Ruke1991:
I.am tired

1) Beans - snipper or dangote cement
2) Palm oil - red dye + water
3) Fried Plantain chips - either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil+nylon to make it shiny
4) Fufu - klin ie detergent or to ferment cassava in hours instead of days
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve
6) Ice fish - industrial dye - I believe i have eaten this strange taste fish twice
7) unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals
mango ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters


Besides, Nigerian yam, beans banned across Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.

End result today is kidney and liver damage. People now die 40 to 50 years because of these. Just two generations ago our ancestorsived up to 100 and 120 years

I bought tomatoes 2 weeks ago after making stew with it I was perceiving chemical, I later learned that they are using chemical to preserve tomatoes

dominique:
I understand the rule. Having the highest goal difference is not the same as scoring the most goals.

The reason why overall goals were not considered it's because Nigeria, Zambia and Malawi were tied on 6 points each, in situation like that, the 3 teams tied immediately enters a mini league between the 3, that is where the goals difference comes into play, if Egypt had ended with 6 points then overall goals between the 4 of them would have been considered but Egypt had zero points they were eliminated even before the last match

Fiscus105:
No wonder someone said before the 3rd match that, our destiny is in hand of Malawi!

Yet we are arguing and counter-arguing, on top inaccurate and invalid points.


Ignorance turn people to mumu before an informed person.

Yes our destiny was mainly dependent on the outcome of the match between Zambia and Malawi, cause we all knew Nigeria will beat Egypt to get 3 points, the match between Nigeria and Egypt was not about the goals Nigeria only needed a win to get 3 points to add to the 3 points they got when the beat Zambia

The game between Zambia and Malawi was highly in favor of Nigeria both ways, if Malawi had beating Zambia it would still be in favour of Nigeria, a draw between them would still favour Nigeria, Zambia beating Malawi was still in favour of Nigeria, the only way Nigeria would have been kicked out was a win for Zambia by 4 goals

dominique:
I feel bad for the Copper Queens, they had the highest goal difference in that group and still crashed out despite being level on points with the other teams. Why did they even decide to scrap goal difference as the tie breaker in a group stage?

They scored 8 goals in the group Nigeria scored 9 goals , Malawi scored 7

Majority of these goals were scored against the weakest team in the group which was Egypt

According to CAF rules, since Egypt was eliminated and Nigeria, Malawi and Zambia, ended with 6 points each, head to head goals between Nigeria, Malawi and Zambia were counted canceling the goals they scored against Egypt,

Malawi scored 4 goals, 3 against Nigeria 1 against Zambia

Nigeria scored 3 goals, 2 against Malawi 1 against Zambia

Zambia scored 2 against Malawi 0 against Nigeria

CaptainFM1:
Please explain to me better. I'm still a bit confused.

Well the match just ended

Cancel all the goals these 3 teams Zambia Nigeria and Malawi scored against Egypt, the calculation is done using only the goals these 3 teams played against each other cause Egypt was already eliminated


Malawi 3 – 2 Nigeria
Nigeria 1 – 0 Zambia
Zambia 2 – 1 Malawi
So goals scored by each team

Malawi has 4 goals
Nigeria has 3 goals
Zambia has 2
So Malawi finished first with 4 goals
Nigeria second with 3 goals
Zambia with 2 goals

Don't compare actor with minister.

Actors, by virtue of their job, have to look 'good'...so they take better care of their bodies, skin, etc, than average you and me

Also, Wike has been in administrative posts for several years, (he has been a minister since 2011 and also after that a governor, and then a minister). Stress of the job ages people be that.

Emeka's marital problems could have ended his life,he suffered severe emotional distress and depression,

Was it implied?

Wasn't not Implied?

Someone invented something, the next thing you are ranting about oh how much will it cost, oh God gives oxygen free , water is free, this and that is free , is Elon musk God? Do you expect him to give freely like your God does?

Mariangeles:
You will not die if phone is taken away from you, but you will die if oxygen is taken away.

All things you cannot live without were created by God:
The air you breathe.
The water you drink.
The food you eat.
Etc.

Good, so what has Elon musk got to do with what you are talking about?

judewrites:
Obviously you aren't a Christian so it's pointless continuing this discussion.

Is your God only for Christians? I really need to understand

judewrites:
Look at you speaking of God as if he's your house boy...

Do you know how powerful God is?

He created you for His pleasure, that's why you should obey Him fully.

Obviously God never intended masturbation, fornication as sexual pleasures.

He created the sexual organs for sexual pleasure in marriage.

Why does God need me a human to give him pleasure if he is that powerful, why does he need me for his own pleasure?

Does God have sex? Does he need sex ?
If you say God never intended masturbation and fornication as sexual pleasure, does it mean he made a mistake?

Does he get offended when animals have sex as well? If no , why ?

Image123:
How much, Elon. That's the koko.
God wey give all of us oxygen, we no know wetin Him do. Imagine if we all had to buy oxygen. Do you know how much is water bill monthly in some cities in the world? Some places they are phasing out natural food oh, we dey shout great science. See wetin dem do us for wuhan that year.

Is Elon musk God? The phone you are using to type this was it made by God?

judewrites:
Do you use your mouth to play the guitar?

Why, because your mouth isn't designed by God to do so.

Similarly, God never designed your hands to give yourself pleasure.

God made sex to be enjoyed between husband and wife.

You still haven't answered my question, why does God gets hurt when a human gives himself pleasure?

Your guitar example doesn't answer my question, cause we use hands to do dirtier things , besides pleasure so how does that become a sin if you use our hands to touch things that are dirty then play musical instruments to God?

Sex organs are external parts of reproductive organs, how does God gets offended when two people who love and care for each other come together to give each other pleasure ?
