Simple joke

Emperormartin:
Did I see yekini rashidi's name on Mikel's inner shirt

Yes. He dedicated the victory to Yekini.

Bigsolo10:
Wrongly listed.where is Victor Moses name.i thought he won with Mikel obi at Chelsea

Wrong! Victor Moses was at Wigan Athletic during the 2011-2012 season when Chelsea won the Champions League.

He moved to Chelsea in August 2012 (after the Champions League final).

is solomon kalou of chelsea not an african?his name should be included

Is Salomon Kalou of Chelsea not in the list? You should check the list again.

greiboy:
Ghana has the most players, I think followed by Cameroon.

3 Nigerians have won the cup (Finidi, Kanu & Mikel), while only two Cameroonians have won it (Eto'o and Geremi).

Liverpool duo of Mohammed Salah of Egypt and Sadio Mane of Senegal, along with youngsters Joel Matip of Cameroon and Liverpool and Achraf Hakimi of Morocco and Real Madrid have an opportunity to join the illustrious list of African players that have won the European Cup as Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the 2018 European Cup final tomorrow.

Here's a look at the stars that make up the galaxy of African players that have won the European Cup.



1) Bruce Grobbelaar (Liverpool & Zimbabwe) 1984.

https://scontent.flos5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33540557_2073922549531708_7648184796702572544_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=9859a938a94f3771d8cfc1a502d1a4ae&oe=5B8606C1

Bruce Grobbelaar is one of my favourite goalkeepers of all times, not just because of his goalkeeping abilities, but also because of his eccentricities.

Grobbelaar was fond of dancing, wearing crazy masks, doing cartwheels, swinging from the cross bar, etc in order to confuse opposing players (he also scored quite a few goals). On one occasion when he did a couple of handstands that got the crowd roaring, his manager, Bill Paisley had to tell him to stop it because it might distract his own players. Paisley told him to save his tricks for testimonial matches.

https://scontent.flos1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33540668_2073918692865427_2228768300668551168_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=6a948ecde7b2cf4b7860fd9f10911043&oe=5B9301DC

Three Everton fans, dressed as jesters, ran on to the field during a Merseyside derby and taunted Grobbelaar with a placard that read " Bruce the clown". Liverpool was trailing 1-0 at the time and Grobbelaar said that the incident spurred him to play one of his best games ever in a derby.

Grobbelaar was the hero of Liverpool's 1984 European Cup final. That final was between Liverpool and Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The match ended 1-1 after extra time and so the game was decided by a penalty shoot out.

Grobbelaar started breakdancing as Italian legend Bruno Conti stepped up to take his penalty. Conti blasted the ball over the bar.

Francesco Graziani stepped up to take the penultimate kick for Roma and Grobbelaar turned around and started biting the net. This gave him an idea. He thought that the net felt like spaghetti, so he started wobbling his legs like spaghetti. Graziani also played the ball over the bar and Alan Kennedy stepped up, scored the last penalty and won the European Cup for Liverpool.

As I watched Thomas Ravelli's antics for Sweden at the 1994 World Cup in America and anytime that I see a player with a protective face mask or headgear (eg, Petr Cech), the first name that pops into my head is Bruce Grobbelaar.

2) Rabah Madjer (FC Porto & Algeria) 1987.

https://scontent.flos1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33601729_2073918876198742_4709774717756637184_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=d2b866f0b674d744ee28508dd788ff8f&oe=5B7B20D9

This is one player that I hate very much and yet I also love him very much.

Rabah Madjer became an African legend when he scored an audacious backheeled goal in the 1987 European Cup final to help FC Porto defeat Bayern Munich 2-1 in Vienna. Bayern was leading when Madjer equalised with that wonderful goal. Pele is reported to have said, "It would have been the greatest goal I have ever seen, if he had not looked back at it." 

I have hated Madjer since 1990 when he helped Algeria defeat Nigeria twice at the Nations Cup in Algeria. He scored twice in the first game of the tournament as Algeria defeated Nigeria 5-1 and he was inspirational as Algeria again defeated Nigeria (1-0) in the final of the competition.

I've started liking him again in 2017 after he held one of the most amazing press conferences I've ever seen. He is the coach of Algeria and he verbally destroyed a journalist in one of the angriest and strangest press conferences I've ever seen.

3) Abedi "Pele" Ayew (Olympique Marseilles & Ghana) 1993.

https://scontent.flos1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33423435_2073918966198733_2379745399079436288_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=f59d8f094727257ee1d4a23ddd53efea&oe=5B781864

This is another player that I love to hate.


4) Finidi George (AFC Ajax & Nigeria) 1995.

https://scontent.flos5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33509565_2073919212865375_7736572650968842240_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=3e1f6ee09eab60e1ad9220c0bf45f6bc&oe=5B8C9F6F

There are two NIMET logos that op posted
The last one is the correct one

Funjosh:
What's wrong with the first one

The first logo is the old logo, while the second logo is the current logo.

jaychubi:
It's a first

Every health commissioner n minister must be a medical doctor B4 now as they are d most vast health care personnel. NMA will fight this

It's not a first. Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi (Juli Pharm) was minister of health in 1993.

(There have been other people who were not healthcare professionals, that have served as ministers of health).

Mikeross62:
What measures have they put in place in case it occurs to reduce the effect,forecasting only won't solve anything, how prepared are they to curtail the effect

Make orders on Amazon and we ship,ebay checkout available. Check my siggy

NIMET's job is to forecast. It's the job of federal, state and local governments to take action to reduce the effect (evacuations, clearing drainages, etc.). NIMET has done its job. It's now left to the government to do its job.

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) is a Federal Government agency that issues weather and climate forecasts for the safe operation of aircraft, ocean going vessels and oil rigs. The forecasts helps governments prepare for natural disasters (like floods) and also assists farmers to plan for the planting season.

The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) is a Federal Government agency that is tasked with provideing information on the status and trends of the nation’s water resources including its location in time and space, extent, dependability, quality and the possibilities of its utilization and control, through the provision of reliable and high quality hydrological and hydrogeological data on a continuous basis.


NIMET and NIHSA have issued alerts and forecast the possibility of flood in 5 LGAs (KadunaNorth,Kaduna South,Igabi,Soba,Kaura) of Kaduna State.

The Kaduna State Government is expected to take action to protect lives and property in the affected areas.
