₦airaland Forum

Typical lazy post of the escapist African who sees everyone else as been responsible for his problems except himself? so many assumptions but little proven, an attempt to kill off a whole army of problems with a single silver bullet of an unproven hypothesis. A couple of questions for the poster:

1. Do all black sub saharan team consist only of players playing in the PL? please supply details of the Ivorian squad who I know to have a lot of players playing in the French league. Even our own team had players from Spain, Germany and France. Would you in the name of misplaced nationalism now enlarge the net of your hasty analysis to include these other leagues?

2. Must we play using these English PL players? if we really have developed our own leagues or youth system, shouldn't we be able to use local players as the Egyptians do (despite also using players in other leagues such as Zidan).

Your post has nothing to do with colonialism apart from that which exists in your imagination, it rather has more to do with a society of people unable to chart the best path for themselves by utilising the various synergies that exist within an increasingly globalised world where regional, national and ethnical barriers are increasingly being broken down and people are only interested in what serves up the "best" (depending on what your parameters are for defining what the best is).
Instead of always playing the victim card, it is time for Nigeria to learn how others have done it to synergise between their external exports and internal initiatives towards achieving success, the PL has come to stay, there is nothing anyone can do about it but I do recall Clemence Westerhof not using the likes of John Fashanu from the PL when he was the National coach. Nigerians should find out what works for them and stop complaining about what they have no control over, it is the easiest thing to do but the one that has no chance of resolving anything whatsoever.

^^^^ U av answered the poster!

We are the architect of our success or downfall as the case may be. What do you expect when we do not do what is right?
If the NFF or whichever body in charge does what is expected of them without sentiments and favoritism, then all our
complains will be no more. Let them get the right people to manage Nigerian football and you'll see the difference.

I pray everything goes according to plan for us and we win either scrappy or convincingly.

UP D GUNNERS!

It's gonna be tricky with the recent performance of Everton but God being on our side, we shall nick this one too and pray the other teams (Mancs & Chavs) stumble.

UP THE GUNNERS!

^^^poster ke?

they don run d guy outta town!

@poster

Everybody has been talkin about demeanor and all but nobody has talked about the physical attributes
that will attract d guys in the first instance.

A gal's "properties" will be the initial drawing charm before d guys discover whether her demeanor suites
them or not. Most tall gals are too lepacious to attract guys. They tend to forget that African men would
want a little flesh on the bones for their gals.

So, the question is " do you have the physical attributes to attract guys at all?"

We complain about our leaders everyday and I fear what legacies our generation will leave behind with all these tribalistic sentiments flying all around.

How will Naija attain the pedestal its supposed to in the commity of nations with all these in-fighting?
You can always attend to the "Bleep up" of a person without generalizing. We have so much resources(population & mineral) in this country and yet we are nowhere. The US is afraid of China today becos of its population and is looking for ways of doing biz with it.

Let us put our diversity to use in a beneficial way so we can become the envy of all.

"Abo oro la so fun omoluabi, to ba de inu a di odidi"

^^^^^ Now this is an example of what we are talking about!

THIS DOES NOT BELONG HERE

People have posted long essay on this topic and it won't make any sense to over flog the issue.

Meaningful and remarkable advice has been given. Therefore, the ball is in your court (@ poster).
All the best!

"When Hell freezes over"

Like everione has told u (@poster), u need to trust your wife!

Life is short and the worries in it abound.
So, y will u decide to add more worries to your life by not trusting ur wife?
One thing is that if ur wife wants to do "runs", u wudn't even know she is taking lifts
talkless of going to work with her colleague.

Bro, av a little faith n u'll be at peace!

^^^^^
Wait until Jan when all ur key players come for the African Nations Cup
before u make predictions.

Chelses = "Sepe drinkers club"

^^^^^
Av u seen d "cubs" play recently? Av u seen d capacity crowds at Emirates stadium?

We av different reasons for supporting different clubs.

FYI, am satisfied with d "cubs"!

ARSENAL 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

@ Poster,

Make u mind yaself o! wetin come concern u if "Le Prof" comes to Nigeria?
Moreover, u suppose question dat kain news before u copy and paste.

Do u expect the guy to leave both Premiership and Champions League assignments
to come and do his scouts work hia? Na wa for una!

@poster

U av not said anytin to show dat u r also serious about her too!
It seems like u r afraid of gettin" hooked" by a  late 20+ yr old gal and by so doing destroy your "ladies man" reputation.

Like they say "Giving advice is useless" cos: A wise man does not need it while a foolish man would not appreciate it.

So, you r O-Y-O!

Which do u prefer?

I think there are no clear-cut answers when it comes to matters of the heart.

We all fail to realise that love is not essentially the main ingredient for a successful and long lasting marriage. In the days of old, we had "arrangee-marriages" which most of our parents were subjected to and these marriages last long. If we take a poll among these partners, most of them will confirm that they cannot survive without the other partner irrespective of the maltreatment from the other partner. This is because both paties "understand" each other. Understanding is key and with it love may even creep into a loveless marriage.

I am not saying love is totally useless or immaterial but it pays to understand your partner. You need to have "feelings" for your partner but that should not be the only basis for the marraige to work. The quality or character (beauty, wealth, generosity, care, attention, Godliness, e.t.c.) that made you fall in love with a guy may be faked or it may disappear later in life. Then, where does that leave you?

"okay okay, fun time's over. liverpool come and receive yours for the season. "

^^ Correct!

Up the Gunners! Guns eva blazing!! Gun em down jowo!!!

Well, i no watch d match, _{due to ever present lagos traffic}, but the result puts us in the right direction. Hope they will not crumble against the Argies.

I recently betrayed a trust that was held in me by a very special friend and i have been trying to get her to forgive me but she has just shut me out of her life. This is seriously affecting me as I know I have wronged her greatly for her to react like that but she has not given me any chance to, even, beg her.

We went to same uni together (same department) although I was about graduating when she got admitted. Then, one of my friend was chasing her but no show. So, we have been friends since though not that intimate. She had some problems while in school which resulted in an extended stay in school. We were not communicating regularly until when i went back to school last yr for my MBA. The friendship came alive once again and we have been having lots of fun together - travel together, go out e.t.c. This was done on a no-string attached basis. I got married late last year and i did not know that she didn't hear or know about it. I just thought it was one of those things that she /we did not talk about. Recently, one thing led to another and we got into an affair. I thought she wanted to have a fling and all, only for me to discover that she did not know i was married. She asked me flipantly about my marital status one day and after i confirmed it, she did not show any negative sign towards me but since that day, she has not picked my calls whenever i call her.

I know am going to receive a whole lot of flak for this but can anyone tell me how can i get her to forgive me? I never knew she did not know about my marital status. She has refused to pick up calls from friends either. I have tried going to her place but she has relocated to a friend's place.

I am not making any excuses for my actions but all i want is her forgiveness. Pls, what can i do?

we share same birthday, Mar 10
we don't like to be shouted at.

We won but it wasn't vintage Arsenal performance. Coming Sunday will be the turning point for us. All those agbero drinkers of Chelsea dry gin will b GUNNED down!

The Cosby show, Wonder years, Becker.

Gun dem down jo!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not think this is the toughest group of the tournament. If we prepare well, we will qualify but as usual there is the Nigerian factor to consider. No team can beat us unless we allow them.
