The Tunisia one in Abuja, I could not fault Amodu. He did everything I would have done to the letter. I blame the "handsome" foolish bloke called Taye Taiwo. I don't want to see that guy in the SE for the next one year except he is playing left midfield. The fool has cost us a WC.

heaping the entire blame on just one player-taye taiwo-is following the same pattern of people blaming everything on amodu, after the devasting experience of not qualifying for the last world cup, we thot we had learnt our lesson, but no, we could not beat ordinary mozambique in our first game; we had the chance to defeat tunisia at home but we seemed content wit settling for a draw, n then dat f, ked up 2-2 draw in abuja, the blame should be shared by:

NFF for employing dat okpolo eye of a coach in the first place

Amodu for not knowing his left from his right

and then, apart from osaze,

the superless chickens of niger republic

I didn't see the first match against Mozambique but after seeing this, they are a tough team to play without a disruptive player like Babangida, Ikedia, Okocha etc.

Ike Uche and Odems are the closest we have to this but they are only good when taking on ONE player, if it is TWO marking them, then they are not able. That is what Tunisia did to neutralize.

The Mozambicans defended well but we just don't have a team that is good enough for WC.

If we do not have a disruptive player then we need players with movement,  and only Yakubu (didn't show it today) and Odems have this. That is our problem not the coach, except you can identify a player that is disruptive that he can call up.

i think wat u mean by "disruptive player" is a "very good player" that can make things happen, this is completely lacking in dis our new chicken eagles, i remember back in the days even ikedia n em babangida were mostly substitute players to finidi; even okocha was never guaranteed a first team spot; and dimunitive goal scorer, aghahowa only had a second half space 4 him in dat squad, dats just to show how talented we once were and how badly naija soccer has fallen, now nobody to make a difference; even osaze would not have made 1st team in the old eagles; he's very talented but i dont think he got dat touch to make huge extraordinary difference (as evidenced in the olympic final game against argentina) like most great players-like kanu did against brazil, amokachi, amuneke, not to mention the great yekini, even players who were leading goal scorers in their various european leagues like owobokiri n mike obiku couldn't even make dat team, a team wit defenders dat score goals like babayaro, iroha, keshi, defensive midfielders like oliseh wit thunderous shots n even the suppoedly worse player then, garba lawal had something to offer, men, gone are the days of the once super eagles, welcome to the era of the superless chickens, smh

Yes Tunisia is ahead but football is a game of 90 mins +. IT AIN"T OVER YET!

keep dreaming

funny sh*t

Who are your heroes?

David Hogan–”Faith Healer” who became popular during the Pensacola Revival at Brownsville, Assemblies of God, who claimed to have resurrected some 200 stiffs, who claims to have a vehicle that was/is able to drive under water (by the power of the Holy Spirit, of course), and a host of other claims too numerous to list here.

Paul Cain–Charismatic prophet of immense standing a few years ago who, it was claimed, had so great an anointing that he could and would short out nearby electrical equipment. He fell from grace with the Charismatics after it was revealed that this holy man of God had been involved in homosexual affairs.

Bob Tilton–Do I really need to include this guy’s past? I mean, after ABC got done with him he was tried and convicted of various and sundry fraud claims. After his time in the slammer, Bob came back and is again peddling his shameful WoF message on television.

W.V. Grant–both father and son of the same name, but especially the latter. W.V. jr. spent time in jail for mail fraud but still manages to show up on television every so often promising all sorts of things. He is best remembered for his ability to call on people in his audience by name, tell them who their MD was, and what their ailments were. He learned this trick from his dad and William Branham, who would collect information on cards on audience members before the meeting and then use the info to “Call out” the person.

Oral Roberts–What can one say? He of the 900 ft. Jesus, the failed City of Faith, and his whining that unless his followers come up with some $8 million in cash that God was going to “Call him home”. The granddaddy of contemporary healers, all of the rest of these charlatans owe a tip of the hat to Oral and his techniques, such as the seed-faith sham.

Kathryn Kuhlman–Benny Hinn’s mentor and faith healer today still spoken of with great reverence among charismatics. A series of “for sure” healings were followed up upon by an MD and found that not one of her claimed healings were in fact true. She died on the operating table after her own faith apparently wasn’t enough to save her life.

A.A. Allen–Tent revivalist of the 1950’s and 1960’s, who claimed to regularly raise the dead, heal the sick, and so on. In his revival meetings, there were jars said to contain the physical remains of demons for the gullible to come up and gawk at. He also had oil flowing from his hands (allegedly by the power of the Holy Spirit), and had the sign of the cross appear on the foreheads of those he touched there. He once invited people to send the bodies of their deceased to his ministry headquarters in Arizona until health officials in that state stopped the practice before it could really get started. He promised to resurrect these dead folks. He was found dead in a San Francisco motel strewn with barbiturates and alcohol. Cause of death was liver failure from years of drinking.

Jim Bakker founded The PTL (”Praise The Lord”) Club and preached on television with his wife, Tammy Faye. A sex scandal forced his resignation. Later, he was convicted of fraud and conspiring to commit fraud charges for crimes committed while leading PTL. He served about five years of his 18-year federal prison sentence before being released on parole. (Thomas Nelson Publishing)

Ted Haggard was once proclaimed one of the most influential evangelicals in America. But in November 2006, after a former male prostitute alleged Pastor Ted Haggard had regularly engaged in sex with him, Haggard was removed from his position as pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo. He also lost his leadership position in the powerful National Association of Evangelicals. At first Haggard denied the allegations but later admitted to “sexual imorality.” He entered a three-month period of intense religious counseling, after which one of the pastors involved declared Haggard to be “completely heterosexual.” (CBS)

Jimmy Swaggart was a wildly popular televangelist in the 1970s and ’80s, until he was photographed with a prostitute in 1988. His resulting “I Have Sinned…” sermon was quite powerful, but did not prevent his being defrocked by the Assemblies of God Church. The last time Swaggart made headlines was 2004, when he criticized same-sex marriage by saying, “I’ve never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I’m gonna be blunt and plain. If one ever looks at me like that, I’m gonna kill him and tell God he died.” Swaggart is the cousin of singers Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. (AP)

The way those Super Chickens played against Tunisia was disastrous, after the match instead of the players to be sober, they went clubbing, that shows they don't even care if the country qualifies for the world cup.

Am convinced beyond doubt that Kenya would defeat The Super Chickens of Nigeria 1-0 in Nairobi

point of correction, they're not super chickens; they're superless chickens

was the crusade abt money?

yes it was n always has been about money

majaze

I'm not interested in running circles with you.

as for people disbelieving their own mythologies, are you not aware of the various threads on NL discussing Oduduwa and other legends? You may not know who Oduduwa is but do some research then come back to prove your point.

smh at u defending jewish folklore with all ur might when they most probably would consider u less than them at best

as fela talk am kolometality

@poster n kunle,
maybe both of you will be happy when they preach poverty?and i guess you will criticize them too for that,God came for us to have life in abudance with good things added to it,do you ever ask yourself question,how did GOD CREATE Adam WITH  a wonderful garden that included everything in it and there was nothing bad was in it.That was the way God wanted it from begining for us to enjoy the good things of life.use atleast your natural wisdom plz.

, and you use your natural wisdom to know that, in a country where there's a church every corner, most of its citizenry live in abject poverty even tho prosperity preaching is the norm of the day and the richest people are politicians, church leaders and fraudsters, there's something wrong somewhere, yea heed your own advice n try n use atleast your natural wisdom plz

smh at summer holy ghost cruise thingy in miami splashed on the covers of ovation(according to the OP), a magazine that displays the oppulence of the Abachas, Ajuduas, and now pastors, all ill gotten wealth at the expence of the impoverished masses (in the case of the pastors, church mugus members who actually pay for the lifestyle of these rogues in the guise of tithes, seed faith n countless offerings

Link to a story of the Nazi cheat(interesting): http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8241631.stm

Summary

An australian newspaper reported that IAAF test showed that controversial South African female 800m runner Caster Semenya is infact not 100% female. IAAF has not officially confirmed the report

unconfirmed report says she has both male and female Instruments and no womb or ovaries. externally female but internal male testes that produces large amounts of testosterones

may not be stripped of medal since she has not cheated even though her male hormones gave her an undue advantage

"It is clear that she is a woman but maybe not 100 percent," Weiss said, adding that the case would be decided by the IAAF executive council in November.

she's not a unique case as other females have been found in similar situations like Indian Santhi Sandararajan who was striped of her silver medal in the 2006 Asian game, Polish Ewa Klobukowska who came third in 100m in the 1964 olympics but was banned after she failed a male chromosone test and others

The only verified case of actual gender cheating in modern Olympic history is the case of Horst Ratjen - an athlete who disguised himself as a woman to compete on behalf of Nazi Germany in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The Nazis installed Ratjen in the place of a gold medal contender in the women's high jump because they feared the Jewish athlete would embarrass Adolf Hitler. Ratjen came fourth and watched as a Hungarian Jew accepted the prize for first place. But his performance wasn't discredited after a battery of medical tests. Instead he was found out a couple of years after the Berlin Olympics when he was seen sporting a five o'clock shadow. (LOL)

i actually just watched it on tv and was expecting the nigerian line when the WWI line came in n i was like, what da, ?

i actually logged on to create a thread bout it then i saw urs

guess the naija govt. got pull

make hungry kill all of dem jor!

lai!lai!! too many magas for dat to ever happen. remember, their god is not a poor god but e dey always ask for money from poor people in the name of tithes n seed faiths to help am do e work. smh

and they think only about this life here on earth.

u forgot to highlight this part cos the way the naija modern day demi-god celebrity preachers of 2day go about with trying to acquire the finest things of this world pushing fleecing their flocks to do same in the name of tithes, seed faiths, first fruit etc for thousand fold canal blessings thereby ignoring the more important message of salvation that brought christ down here to sacrifice himself in human form n brought about the whole concept of christainity in the first place shows that most of these men actually don't believe there's an after life or a bible heaven of gold streets deep inside and would rather acquire their treasure/benefits here instead and guard them jealously with bodyguards n mopol cos "everybody wan go heaven but nobody wan die"

na the mumu followers of these religious con-men i pity for

What has he done that is different from what paul and the other writers of the bible have done in the past? According to some of them their god appeared to them, took them to the sky( in some instance) and told them to write things about him and how he wants people to live their livess. . . . .there is nothing he is doing that others have not done. . . . .

^^^true talk

but dat image of a caucasian blue eyed blonde long hippie haired man laying hands on his head on dat flyer is most definitely not the image of a christ of middle eastern desent described in the bible as wooly haired n bronze skinned. maybe cos images of darker skinned humans in modern day christainity usually depicts satan n his cohorts or maybe it'll look more revered to have a white man laying hands on him cos of inferiority complex or like fela talk am, kolomentality. but dat surely nor be jesu kristi laying hands on/ordaining him; maybe na demon

It's quite sad that the truth is coming out of the mouth of an unbeliever whilst our mordern day pharisees who should be telling us the truth are dwelling in hyprocrysis and taking advantage of fellow christians.

yea its quite sad to see dis in my country naija where the majority live in abject poverty while our revered men of God(?) endlessly collect their pennies n kobos to compete 4 which of em get the most magnificient church building, private jets, private universities not for the poor, fleet of the latest rides, designer suits etc





smh

@morpheus
very correct.

It's those muslims,  they even told Adeboye to buy that exact flamboyant jet that he picked.

Address the issues and stop laying blames in the wrong places. You mean you never hearrd of this sort of antics in a church before?

na so. dem always get an excuse for any glaring absurdity in men of God(?) they rever

quest: "why pastor adeboye dey rub shoulders wit dem iboris n obasanjos; corrupt leaders who are the direct cause of the poverty they love to preach against?"
ans: "even jesus embrase the sinners"

if rev. martin lurther king, nelson mandela etc openly embrace their oppresors in public wit gleefull smiles and handshake and special treatment n front seat rows instead of telling them the truth u think say black americans or black south africans for dey the position dem dey today. wetin u think say the common man, the oppressed go think. but in nigeria, there's always a defence. wat backwardness. reminds me of church leaders who embraced hitler during WWII for fear of being persecuted

It still beats my imagination how people are able to fall for this very obvious scams!!

me too,

i think supertition deeply embedded in african/nigerian tradition even b4 the advent of the whiteman like believing in mammy water et al plays a partial role in the way nigerians hold on to the bogus teachings of these so-called men of God no matter how absurd and obviously heretic they clearly are, that's why u see people blindly and vigorously defending them with threats of wat will befall anyone who perceive things to the contrary for daring to touch expose the so-called annointed(yea right) ones

then the economic situation too, as hopes are falsely raised to believe that the more you give to God(?) so shall you magically receive 1000 fold even when the reality of the situation on ground is clearly evident in the daily lives majority of these overzealous fanatics (smh)

the most lucrative industry in nigeria

yea, nai make their nigerian counterparts dey like to invite dem here to come ply their trade the way thisday dey invite all dem jay z n busta rhymes

not impressed at all, the eagles is no longer an impressive team to watch like back in the days, i fear 4 our w/c qualification chances

and come to think of it, almost all of wats in the bible were written by "men" from israel, and coincidentally this bible god chooses the people from "israel" as "his people"; yeah right. smh at god the creator of the whole world biasedly choosing sides on regional basis. smh more at nigerians who fanatically believe in this so-called god

, and these are amongst the most respected "so-called" men of God Nigerians look up to and their nigerian counterparts in the church business emulates. No wonder most receive special rock-star like invitations to come help fleece gullible nigerians in the name of religion

Abacha is unquestionably the worst, one who can be comfortably put in the same sentence as the Idi Amins, Samuel Doe's, Mobutu's etc for his sit-tight, murderous and cleptomaniac tendencies deserves to be No.1 by a long shot

IBB comes close second, "Maradona" "June 12" "SAP" etc

I don't think Shagari was that bad as a person since he was rigged into the presidency as a puppet by the nothern oligarcy but i think his cabinet was a bunch of voracious thieving bandits in agbada

Murtala to me was the best since he accomplished alot in such a short period but his untimely death would never let us know what the full package was all about cos u never know how it eventually goes wit these military pipole once they smell power, remember the likes of mobutu & samuel doe all started as liberators
