Omodua:
Thank you,Good lady, for educating us on the Yul's marriage brouhaha. We now know better.

Yul is a spoilt child with obsession for women.

Indeed, God will judge him for disappointing his wife,May,who laboured with him during formative years of their marriage.

Good will judge you too for judging him even though as an African man he is entitled to Polygamy as long as he can afford it...


He did nothing wrong, face your life and stop projecting on an innocent man who has resources to fund his desires unlike you...

Tomek09:
Agbo and jedi-jedi sellers. No economic impact in Igboland.

Osu-land is Southern Ghetto according to UNDP... who goes to ghetto to Hussle is like an American or Brits going to Haiti to Hussle...


Osu-land has no economical value, it is the least after NE in terms of generated Revenue... a dead region that makes it inhabitants economic refugees who run commot enmass via Night buses to other regions....



Yeye dey smell..

lovewins:
I should also add that most of the guards I mentioned earlier are young and will still be playing for at least the next 10 years. Arike also stands shoulder to shoulder with all of them in scoring. The only reason she wouldn't make the USA team is mostly coach's preference and her deficit in defence.

I get you... you really rate her...


You should know am just looking for reasons why she should be Ours and not for Uncle Sam that could probably already has like a dozens of Arike ( talent_wise) in College....

lovewins:
I get you, however I'm saying in the scheme of things, those players you mentioned though good aren't even in the conversation.

The top college guard in the US right now is Caitlin Clarke by a mile, followed by Cameron Brink, Halley Van Lith, Paige Buickers. They are already top picks for the 2024 draft should they decide to enter.

Arike however will still play ahead of any of them bar maybe Clarke who will give her a run for her money.

Yes, what am saying is by time when Loyd and Plum are done.... Van Lith, Donarski and others would have been polished pro which would create more issue for her later in future... Donarski stat as a rookie is scary...

Jcoleworld911:
Like this cursed land🤭

Yet the brown roof state has more IGR than 5 SE state combined... the region turning it people to economic refugees...


Osu-land is truly cursed..

lovewins:
Those names aren't even who Arike is battling with. They haven't even gone pro yet and if they were the ones in question Arike wouldn't have a problem. She's a guard and the US have too many guards right now the competition will be stiff.

You have Jewel Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Jackie Young, Alisha Grey and Rhyne Haword to mention a few. I haven't even included Diana Turasi and Skyler Diggins Smith who are veterans for team USA and haven't retired.

To be fair, she's currently having a monster season, but so are the guys I highlighted above, many of whom have already featured for team USA so including them again wouldn't be a problem. I understand her need to want to play for the USA instead of Nigeria, but Nigeria offers her the easiest way to fulfil her national team dreams and also claim legendary status. I also understand the NBBF isn't making this decision easy for athletes with their unprofessionalism.

I get bro, yes they are in college buh you need to see how the likes of ESPN and others are calling them the future already... Donarski is a Guard shooting 3s with staggering 87% accuracy and she is not polished yet... That means when Loyd and Plum are done there will even be bigger problems in Dornaski, Celeste Taylor,Rogers and Others to come....



Arike is not even in their last World cup roster which is a lesser competition to Olympics as far US basketball culture is concerned....

PDPGuy:
@lovewins
You raised poignant points.

However Nneka Ogwumike is already 33, so like Macaulay, she may not be all that helpful to the future of the team.

I doubt whether Arike is interested since she has been hustling to be part of the US team. Maybe she would express interest if she is overlooked for the umpteenth by the US coaches.

Michaela and Queen are more likely that Arike to switch to Naija

I feel the lure of Olympics might seem too tempting for Arike to switch side to Greens....US is a talent factory with new star burgeoning every other day with their media now raving about Van Lith, Aneesha Morrow, Betts and Donarski... She go wait tire...



Arike needs to wise up now before she reaches 30+ like the Ogwumike sisters...

Am glad buh decision making has to improve... at 51-49, we had about 2 tries for 3 pointer and we missed on a bounce instead of passing to better placed players for a 2...thereby turning over possession needlessly...


We will roast Rwanda despite their home court advantages...

lovewins:
Yea. I don't think Rwanda will bring this much of a challenge.

Now we need a decent 4th quarter... 47-43 now we lead...


This squad no get depth... Amy didn't start 2nd quarter and we couldn't score a single point for 2.30 minutes....


Na waooo

lovewins:
The problem with this team is lack of guards. The guards that are there are sadly below par. Really hope we at least make the finals so we get the chance to correct our mistakes during the Olympics qualifiers

I think if we get past Mozambique, Rwanda shouldn't be an issue...

Amy my babe balling...

lovewins:
1st Half

Nigeria 29
Mozambique 33

We have turned the ball over 16 times. It's just crazy.

Our mediocre offense also hurting us

Going to be difficult but hoping we win.

Remember me saying this turnovers are problems an half decent side would exploit...


Only Amy Okonkwo distinguishing herself so far....

lovewins:
Senegal isn't out enemy. They are bad. Mozambique that we'll play later today is even better than Senegal in my opinion.

Mali however is the team to beat. They are the only worthy contender in my opinion.

For me Senegal ball handling and techniques is good buh they seem not suited to play dirty or hussle for second ball and this is Africa, watch the Cameroon ladies body-check them...they seem like the Clippers and 76ers of last season...


Experience Sha....they are roaring back now

Our perceived nomba one Enemy ( Senegal) about to bite Dust...


A Good News for us?

lovewins:
Glad the likelihood of meeting them won't be until the final. That team is a very good team.

The only other team we should be wary off (and may likely meet) is Uganda if they deal with Rwanda.

the Rwandans have come a long way and shows lot of potentials and I see them getting past the Ugandans....

Moreso we might have lot of problems with the Ugandans considering their physical style of play ( Did you watch their match against Mali, they bully the Malians staying "neck-to-neck' until toward the end of the first half)...



I personally prefer Rwanda.

dankorode:
what time is today's game?

2pm... I don't expect any surprises...

Redman44:
i

The issue am pondering on right now is that they (Senegal) might not top their group... which means we might face them as early has the quarter-final or Semis instead of the final...


Even the Malians not in sync yet so I totally agree with you... this Tourney would have been a "strool in the park' for the Ezinne Kalu's Geng...

lovewins:
They took Mali to the wire too yesterday. So not surprised at their performance so far. Currently leading by 1 point. They may just win this game.

The way they are dominating the second ball at both ends remind me of early insanely motivated King James...


Senegal might need overtime here....

Redman44:
I am interested in this game . The Senegalese had to bring Astou Traore out of retirement. The Egyptian ladies will give DTigress a tough time tomorrow. We need to take the game to the Egyptians tomorrow. I believe in this crop of Dtigress players though. What is the situation with Lauren Ebo? I don't believe she came all the way to camp in Abuja, only not to feature for Nigeria in Kigali .

These Ugandans am seeing are bully... what they lacked in technical abilities they make up for it Physically... especially when it comes to second ball and rebounds..

Redman44:
If it was by stats, the Super Falcons would not defeat Australia yesterday. This d'tigress squad will improve with every game. Who was the team's captain by the way? How will Ivory Coast defeat Nigeria?

Well I feel more experience side could punish us due to high turnovers ( 14 in first half alone) and 11 steal against DRC?... Am just not Optimistic...


Well Ivory coast have quite few French Ligue Féminine players and I see them in ascendancy... buh they are currently fumbling against Rwanda...

Danielnino00:
18% from 3 from how many attempts?
Modified...
Just checked . Its 27/5 3 pointers... Very poor

Coupled with over 22 turnovers,14 in first half alone... Improvement over is needed fast, else Senegal and Ivory coast will roast us...

Aguwanyi:
I no understand this ur question

I mean the ladies kunle is bonding with.... I don't wish for another Obaseki debacle again...

Aguwanyi:
The father that fathered their collective faves…
I dey stan sha…

And whats this entitlement I’m seeing everywhere…pls I want to be peaceful this season,I want trouble..You guys know u don’t joke with Adekulem..

Abeg, Who's our in-law to be?

Idiko1:
The bolded is simply an opinion. The only commentator who came close to Ernest Okonkwo was Sabastian Ofurum.

It's still your personal opinion... Okonkwo been the best is not a statement of Fact...


To me Fabio Olanipekun is more Revered generally by today's Sportscasters like Godwin Enakhena, Femi Obong Daniel, Kelechi kelele and others... Also Emma Odikpo, Paul Ogazi and Shina Abimbobola are in Class on their own...

NkanuSon:
Look at them celebrating as if it will add anything to their accounts, inferiority complex at its peak,US is not the future Asia(china) is and igbos have explored Asia enough more than any black race,we will keep dominating,no man born of a woman on earth can bring down igbos,thats the yoruba wish but they will always be disappointed,thank God buhari put yorubas at the front for our people to know who our real enemies are

yes they are exploring Asia by Exporting white Powder business they are known for... many if not thousands of Osu awaiting death in southeast Asia...


Yeyenatu..

Your stupidity is killing me. I wonder how can any human being be so dumb and so stupid. Why NOT speak and write like somebody who has any sense at all? Talk about baby factories, read this, FOOL:

You want more Osu... Yeyenatu eyan Simon Ekpa the COWARD.... Keyboard Terrorist feigning Ignorance....

UNDFTD:
You're still crying huh? I have shown you evidence to show your folks as Drug peddlers and traffickers and you have nothing to show for your lies and sheer stupidity. Just because you excrete garbage from your mouth does NOT make them true. Without Igbos, there will be NO Lagos and you're here talking arrant nonsense. Keep lying to yourself. For a start, check who are the best students for JAMB and tell me what names you see, IDIOT!

Without Igbo there will be no Lagos? This is a joke right...


Lagos is the Largest port by cargoes in Africa... all Osu do in Lagos is buying and selling in 2x2 kiosk, Hawking Gala in traffic and Brothel queens plus housemaid work..


How does this menial work your people engaged in translates to close to A trillion naira economy of Lagos State.... when we know it makes your region the poorest after NE in Nigeria...


Stop disgracing yourself, Lagos exist before your start coming via Night buses since Erelu Tinubu times of trading with Brit and Portuguese...


Yeyenatu eyan Simon Ekpa the COWARD...

UNDFTD:
Still, crying like a SCUM BAG b*tch that you're? I will give you something to cry about...this is just the beginning. Why not worry about your feckless and COWARD Igboho? His mother just died and we will see if his dumb a$$ would set his ugly foot on the Zoo soil. You are better dead than alive and sucking up air that humans need.

It like you are Frustrated, don't you read the reply before responding... a Osu teenager caught in Abuja and Lagos will be recorded as NC and SW by stat... buh the read faces behind will always be the Osus... since that is the only functioning International airport for your people to export their wares to Asia...

Kate has been consistent about her age since she started acting yrs ago.
If you don't know, she is among the first generation actresses in nollywood. Has been in the industry since early 2000 or even before that. So why do you think she is lying? Many that started with her has retired since. Her kids are all grown. I'm sure you don't know she has 3 kids.
So I ask again, why do you think she is lying?

Buh it was stated in the article that she is a mother of One? am confused oooo

UNDFTD:
There you go again blabbing your mouth and still could NOT answer the question. Do you even listen to hear how foolish you sound? Honestly, are you NOT ashamed of yourself? If I were to be in your shoes and be that dumb, I would commit suicide...just saying! But I guess NOT because you're a COWARD and enjoy living your pathetic and miserable life. You just named all the ritualists from your area, IDIOT!

Alaye address the Issue of why your people are not COWARD and Lily Livered.... I thought una say Nigeria will Burn if Kanu is not released... buh it the SE ( an Economical dormant region) that is Burning with dead IPOB terrorist littering the street ....


Even Lagos during last election many Osus in thousands were Maimed, hospitalized,outrightly jail and killed... your people simply ran from polling boot to under their wife's skirt at home instead of protest...


Your people are known Chest-beater who run when fight is Sup by dressing like a woman....


Stop ranting like a Pained cow... Yeyenatu eyan Simon Ekpa the COWARD...
