(Paul Alade, Melvin Ukachi, Dapo Olumide, M Ike Meme and featuring Berkly Jones). These (apart from Berkley Jones) were secondary school kids and they played all the instruments by themselves.

He should have known that many younger people will not know why he asked if we can recognize the other people in the picture (there are many other famous people that might be in this picture).

The guy with arms akimbo looks like Melvin Ukachi. Ben is the only light complexioned person there, so I don't think that Dapo Olumide is here (I remember that he was younger than the rest).

The late Tayo Aderinokun might also be here (he was in the same set), but I can't tell because of the hair.

What set was Jimi Agbaje in?

Why can'r she replicate that form while putting on green-white-green jersey? Click on the first link on my signature to master how to export products to foreign countries and make millions of naira.
kheny12:
But her leg will be too heavy when playing for the national teams.Nonsense and overrated.
She replicated that form for Nigeria between 2013 and 2016 (highest goal scorer at Nations Cup, highest goal scorer at Under 20 World Cup, etc.).

The question is, why can't she replicate that form now? What changed between 2016 and now?

Topic of discussion:

Asisat Oshoala and Ngozi Okobi provided beautiful goals and assists to the Nigerian national teams between 2013 and 2016 (the Super Falcons did not play in 2017), but their form for the national teams since 2018 has been less than stellar. They still deliver the goods at their club sides (they both scored and provided assists last week and this weekend), but they don’t perform as well at the national team. What could be the problem?

Throwback to 2015 when Ngozi Okobi sparked the fight back against Sweden at the Women’s World Cup. The Swedes had raced to a 2-0 lead. Okobi scored Nigeria’s first goal, then she assisted Asisat Oshoala to score the second goal. There was a BBC feature about this game and all the players that were interviewed praised Okobi. Okobi said that she saw Oshoala and knew that Oshoala was fast enough to get the ball and cause damage and that’s why she passed the ball to her. Ngozi Okobi also passed to Francisca Ordega who scored the third goal. It ended:

Nigeria 3-3 Swden.

Asisat Oshoala is now the second highest goal scorer in the Primera División Liga Iberdrola with 5 goals in 6 games. The highest goal scorer is her Barcelona team mate Jenni Hermoso.

There are 2 Africans in the top 5, Asisat Oshoala of Nigeria and Jade Boho (Sayo) of Equatorial Guinea (well, Spanish born Equato-Guinean).

Oshoala scored on Sunday as table toppers Barcelona defeated Logronos 5-0. Zambian captain, Barbara Banda, played for Logronos in the match.

FC Barcelona Women – Logroño: A win with authority (5-0)

Lluís Cortés' side continues to demonstrate its strength with a sixth consecutive win in all competitions

05:13pm Sunday 20 Oct


Barça Women are still unbeaten at the Johan Cruyff Stadium after a great 5-0 win against Logroño. Tacón and Atlético Madrid had conceded nine goals and six goals respectively at the new ground, and another five on Sunday meant a total of 20 goals in three league games at home, and a total of 27 if we add the two UEFA Women's Champions League games.

All over in 25 minutes

The blaugranes, who wore a pink armband in support of the International Day against breast cancer, quickly imposed their rhythm and scored within four minutes through Marta Torrejón. The visitors tried to react quickly through Barbra Banda, but it was Barça who went further ahead through Jenni Hermoso on 23. Two minutes later, Aitana Bonmatí extended the advantage, and 3-0 at halftime meant that the game was practically over.

Ambitious and eager to please, Oshoala quickly added Barça's fourth after the break, with Hamroui rounding things off nine minutes from time.

FC Barcelona 5-0 Logroño

FC Barcelona: Paños; María León (Laia Codina, 71’), J.Hermoso, Marta (Candela, 69’), Hamraoui, Patri, Aitana, Leila (Melanie, 61’), Graham, A.Pereira and Oshoala (Claudia Pina, 61’)

Politics › Re: Second Niger Bridge Suffer Setback As Host Communities Demand For "Entitlements" by naptu2: 7:52am On Oct 21, 2019
mapet:
Dangote Refinery today would have suffered near similar fate if not for the no-nonsense approach Fashola adopted as Lagos State governor. The community people started disturbing Dangote project workers. Fashola went there in person, spoke in Yoruba and told them that he's handing over Dangote and his entire team to the leaders of the community, that they must be protected, that nothing must happen or slow down their work. Right in the full glare of the Media, He further threatened that if disturbance occurs, they will see the other side of him.

The community people arrested for the murder of Mr. Disu, Managing Director of FTZ are ruthlessly being dealt with today...
Remember that the project was initially meant to be in Ondo State, but the host communities frustrated Dangote with outrageous demands and so Fashola came in and snatched Dangote from under their nose. There's no way that Fashola would have allowed a repeat of the Ondo experience in Lagos.

That explains it.

naptu2:
Two interesting items on the NTA News.

The weird thing is that the NTA reporters left the most important parts of both reports until the end.


1) They reported that the Customs Service was handing over military vehicles that were seized by the Customs and the SSS at the Cameroonian border (in Adamawa State) to the United States Government. That sounded strange. Why is the Customs Service handing them over to the US?


Anyway, they showed the comptroller of Customs in the area and he was with the US consul general and someone that looked like a US defence attache. The comptroller said that the order to hand over the vehicles came from the national security adviser and he had to comply. He said some things that made it seem like the hand over process was not entirely smooth and that he didn't know why he was being asked to hand over the vehicles, but that he was doing as he was told to do and that diplomacy had prevailed. The US consul thanked the comptroller and said that although there had been some bumps on the road, but that the good relations between Nigeria and the US had prevailed.

While signing off, the NTA reporter said that the vehicles were meant for a US military operation in Niger Republic, but they were seized by the Nigerian Customs Service and the SSS at the Nigerian border with Cameroon.


2) There was a report about the Second Niger Bridge. They showed equipment at the site of the construction and interviewed people in the area who said that a lot of progress had been made. They talked about the history of the project and all of that, but, they had a telephone interview with the controller of works in the area at the end of the report and he said that they had done the piling works right across the river and they were about to start the decking, that is the roadway itself, before this strike action started.

With due respect I think it’s you who doesn’t quite grasp how Nairaland works. OP’s also use that quote thing to prevent the many people who would be quoting them from repeating their entire long write-up. That’s what it looks like in your case.
Anyway it’s tooo late. The vast majority of Nlanders won’t read any of this. Find a way to accept that most Nairalanders now believe u r a female and that this is your pic:
I couldn't give a rat's ass whether you think I'm a man, woman, cow or sheep. That's your personal problem.

That particular function is called the "quote function" ( [quote]) and it means that the words that it contains are the words of other people. This is even more so when there is a link to the original article, tweet or post and if you don't know that, then it's (again) your personal problem.

This is the last time that I will attempt to assist you. I will not read any further replies from you
