Ahead of Russia 2018 World Cup, Argentine Football Association ( AFA ) has reported that La Albiceleste will start their preparation for next summer's Mundial with a prominent exhibition against Russia and  Super Eagles with the two games coming up in Russia.

The friendly clash against the three-time African champions is billed for November 14 and will be played at FC Krasnodar stadium which has an estimated capacity of 34,291.

However, as at now the Nigeria Football Federation is yet to officially announce the new development

Super Eagles has faced the South American giants in four of the five World Cups Nigeria have participated in since 1994, losing on each occasion, an odd goal inspired by Diego Maradona to Claudio Caniggia beating Nigeria 2-1 with Samson Siasia scoring Super Eagles lone goal and Gabriel Batistuta 63 minute goal in Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup gives the Argentines another sweet triumph over Super Eagles

In South Africa, Gabriel Heinze's 6th-minute headed goal ended up being the winner in their group opener against Nigeria, while Ahmed Musa brace sees Super Eagles to a 3-2 loss to the two-time World-Cup holders at Estádio Beira-Rio.

Meanwhile, Nigeria recorded a 4-1 win over the La Albiceleste in a friendly match played in Abuja in 2011, which proves to be the only win the African side had against the South American giant.

LET US STOP LOOKING FOR GHOST, I WANT THE SOUTHWEST TO START WITH AN APOLOGY TO THE SOUTH.

A PUBLIC APOLOGY, AFTER THAT SS/SE WILL CONSIDER ATTENDING LAGOS MEETING, LET US NOT CALL IT SOUTHERN GOVERNORS FORUM BECOS THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

WE WANT TO MINIMISE THE LEVEL OF APC AND SW PROPAGANDA.

Oxalic:
Why is that every thread bothering on SW and SE quickly become a war zone? This is not in the interest of anybody. Please, i sincerely beckon on all the young people of SW and SE to shove aside the spirit of bitterness. It is quite inimical to the growth and actualization of strategic political goals.

12 years after, Southern Governors meet in Lagos on Monday


…Fiscal federalism, devolution of powers top agenda
Twelve years after their last gathering, Governors from the Southern part of Nigeria will on Monday converge in Lagos to deliberate on how to forge stronger ties for the three geo-political zones.


In a statement signed by the Secretary to the Lagos State Government (SSG), Mr Tunji Bello, the meeting which will be co-hosted by the Governors of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode and Akwa Ibom, Emmanuel Udom will address issues that are germane to the development of the three contiguous zones.


Bello said the meeting is in line with the realisation that the different states in the South have since 2005 developed several areas of comparative advantage which could be harnessed and become mutually beneficial.


According to him, the Governors would also be expected to adopt a common position on the issues of armed robbery, kidnapping, devolution of powers and issue of fiscal federalism which have all gained prominence of late.


“The 2017 Lagos summit of the 17 Southern Governors representing the South South, South West and South East zones is expected to come up with a communiqué after the deliberation.


“It is noteworthy to recall that the inaugural meeting of the Southern Governors took place in Lagos in 2001 under the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Bello said.


The statement added that the predominance of views is that if the Southern States speak with one voice, they are bound to attract weighty and credible listenership.


The 17 Southern States expected at the summit include Governors Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom; Ben Ayade- Cross Rivers State; Godwin Obaseki - Edo State; Nyesom Wike - Rivers State; Ifeanyi Okowa - Delta State; Seriake Dickson- Bayelsa and Rochas Okorocha- Imo State.
Others are Willie Obiano - Anambra State; Okezie Ikpeazu - Abia State; David Umahi - Ebonyi State; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi -Enugu State; Rauf Aregbesola - State of Osun; Abiola Ajimobi – Oyo; Ibikunle Amosun –Ogun; Oluwarotimi Akeredolu – Ondo; Ayodele Fayose - Ekiti and Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State.

@naptu2
Thanks for the YouTube links of Jide Obi
and Kris Okotie. Kill Me With Love" is still
the best song from Jide Obi in my opinion.

I just got to find out early today online that the
iconic Bunny
Mack passed on in London on 11th July, 2015. I was deeply
stunned! "Let Me Love You" will remain
evergreen in our hearts.


Also another inspirational musician of the
70s/early 80s by the name William Onyeabor
who sang "When the Going is Smooth and Good"
- his last music release in 1985, passed on in
Enugu on 16th January, 2017!


Have a great weekend Naptu!


I'll keep following this thread and post
any other iconic 70s/early 80s songs
soon.

LadyGoddiva:
He died in 2013
And he died the way most wrestlers go, a cardiac arrest. Plus he was incredibly obese when he died so it was sort of expected.

Ishilove:
I wasn't too sure if it was Paul or Pall, so I opted for Pall

I wonder where he is now

Ishilove:
Pall Bearer

lizzlix:
That one career is on the downwards since the day she left arsenal women where she's a regular to some chinese package. For me, i think she's just another regular player playing soccer for the money

Rosskii:
I'm sure we can update this particular tradition and remove the requirement for the monarch to commit suicide. That said, one can see the reasoning behind this ancient convention. A deposed king would still be very powerful potentially, and could draw from his support base to destabilize the polity. There must be some powerful provisions stipulating that he is barred from such covert or overt anti-government actions.

GenBuhari:
Interesting. I never considered that we can use traditional systems of governance that our ancestors used.

If you want to propose such a system please explain it and make the case so we can choose.

isalegan2:
Naptu. Don't kill me with laughter. I checked out those profiles.

What about my long lost love Fstranger? You know where he's hiding?

Salute to GenBuhari. I can manage minister of social services or its equivalent. If a monarchy, I would like to be the king AND queen.

naptu2:
Ok, I'll be fair. The other guy wasn't bad. It's just that I didn't consider him to be on the same level as Kris Okotie and Jide Obi. His music was ok, but I didn't consider him to be a serious musician. I remember him more for the weird way his name is spelt, his fleet of pimped W123 Mercedes Benz cars and the (girls) names that he gave to his songs. We used to tease a particular girl with his songs.

Then I heard his songs in the early 2000s and they are not half bad. In fact, they are quite good.

So here are two of the best. (The inscription says 1981, but I could have sworn that it was actually released in 1984/85).

Felix Lebarty - Ifeoma (1981).

Memories. Drive music. #Audi100 #MercedesBenz230


These were two of the biggest pop stars in Nigeria and, interestingly, they were roommates at the University of Nigeria (along with a third musician who I don't consider to be on their level).

I should do a versus series with their videos, but there aren't enough of their videos on YouTube.

I Need Someone is Chris Okotie's biggest hit, but, believe it or not, it's not on YouTube. I don't think it's his best song, but it was his biggest hit.

Kill Me With Love was Jide Obi's biggest hit and it is on YouTube. I don't think it was his best song, but it was his biggest hit.

So, I'm still going to post two of the biggest songs of 1981.

Unfortunately the record skips a couple of times in the first video (vinyl). The second song was also used in a beer advert in the early and mid '80s and I can almost picture the beer mugs dancing anytime I listen to the song.
