Celebrities › Re: Charly Boy Performs ‘'Nwata Miss'’ On Stage In Lagos 1983 (Throwback Photo) by naptu2: 3:37pm On Oct 07, 2017
It's not so surprising that quite a few people here have not heard Charly Boy's hit songs. Charly Boy's music was quite popular in the 1980s and so also was his "Prince of Punk" persona. However, around 1991, partly because of the "junk journalism" that was prevalent at that time, he started The Charly Boy Show and devoted his attention to his TV production company. He also later did another TV show called Zoom Time.

He didn't have another major hit until 2008 when he released the Ninja Bike album. 1991 to 2008 is quite a long time, so it's understandable that some don't know how popular the songs from his Nwata Miss and 1990 albums were.

Aha! I posted this in March this year when I was searching desperately for Big Bottom.

naptu2:
Anyway, you can download Charlie Boy's 1990 album here, including the hit tracks Big Bottom, 1990 and Nwata Mis.


Note: It's the instrumental version of Big Bottom that's on that page.

I remember this one

'Dem don sew their coat with big big pocket'...

That's the only Charly boy song I know
Then you should also know Big Bottom. They were from the same album and they both got massive airplay on TV and radio in 1988 - 1990.

My favourite Charly Boy song from the 1980s is, of course, Big Bottom (I'm listening to the instrumental version right now). Unfortunately I still haven't been able to find the video or the full audio version. All I have is the instrumental.

I never knew "Nwata Miss" was that old a song. he shot the video of the song in the mid 2000s and i thought that wa sthe first time he was releasing the song.

Here's the video:

Nwata Miss and this song below were the first two Charly Boy songs that I ever heard. He released them in the early 1980s, then in the late 1980s he released Big Bottom and 1990. I didn't know that he wasn't the one that originally sang the song. Now I've found the original, but I've been searching for Charly Boy's version since 2000 and I haven't found it yet. I'll be very grateful if anybody can connect me to Charly Boy's version of this funny song.

Truth be told i have never heard any of his songs before and i was born the same year of this performance..
In the 1980s there were a lot of slogans in Nigeria about a magical year called 1990. The government promised "Shelter for all by 1990", "Food for all by 1990" and General Babangida said that he would hand over to a democratically elected civilian government in 1990. None of these promises came true. In 1988 Charly Boy sang this afro-beat song in response to these promises. He sang about how the government was out to trick Nigerians and how politicians were preparing to line their pockets.

That's one of his two hit songs from that album in the early 1980s. The second was a cover of this song.

Sports › Re: Pictures Of NFF Branded Wine Bottles For Use After Tomorrow's Match by naptu2(op):
It seems like some people have never seen these celebratory branded items before. They are quite common and have been made since the beginning of time and of course they cannot be made on the day of the match.

I have seen English, Italian, Brazilian and American teams celebrate victory with branded items since the early 1980s. The only difference between then and now is that everybody (from the driver and the courier to the secretary and the CEO) now has a camera phone and a social media account and so nowadays pictures of these items often circulate on social media before the game is played.

This is not even the first time that Nigerian national teams are doing this. The "Dream Team" carried a banner that thanked Atlanta for their support after defeating Argentina in the Olympic final in 1996. The Super Eagles also had bottles of champagne by the touchline while playing their last World Cup qualifier against Ghana in 2001.

Picture 1 and 2 below. Queens Park Rangers made branded bottles of champagne with the words "We're Going Up" inscribed on them. These were placed on the pitch after they defeated Derby 1-0 in the promotion playoff match. (This has now become a tradition).

Picture 3: Juventus branded bottles of wine were used to celebrate after Juventus won the Serie A again in 2016.

Picture 4 France's team bus already bore the inscription, "France, Champions of Europe" before their final match against Portugal. They lost.

Picture 5 German players in their "Champions" T-shirts.

Mujtahida:
Noo it is calculators you guys want them to bring since y'all used to that-- you can't believe in your country's own team. A team that has not lost a single match in this qualifying series. Okay, assuming they lose(God forbid) does that mean they can't still qualify? No!!

Nigerians are so negative minded I swear(cowardice masking as unbelief). This is a team that has posted very good performances since this campaign began. Yet in any thread if they are ten comments five are predicting that we will lose. Contrast with Zambia and her predominantly u-20 team with Zambians giving their team 100% support. They are everywhere on social media lampooning our team and heaping accolades on theirs.

We no dey try. Haba!!!
If you see the way the Zambians are boasting! That's one of the things that reminded me of 2001. Check the comments section of any thread on this site. http://zambianfootball.co.zm/

NFF Ready To Pop Champagne For Super Eagles World Cup Ticket

October 6, 2017 9:32 am

https://i0.wp.com/www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/NFF.jpg?fit=600%2C400&ssl=1

By Johnny Edward in Uyo:

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) are planning a big champagne party for the Super Eagles if they defeat the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Saturday’s FIFA World Cup qualifier, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

The NFF, according a top source who pleaded anonymity, revealed that a wine company was partnered who agreed to provide cartons of wine for the players and the rest of the officials to celebrate the Eagles victory.

The Eagles will qualify for the 2018 World Cup if they defeat Zambia here in Uyo.

“I’ve seen many people criticise the move but I won’t comment on them. We will stay focused to ensure that our objective is achieved on Saturday,” the NFF top official told Completesportsnigeria.com concerning the pictures of branded champagne bottles circulating on social media since late Thursday night.

“We plan to win and celebrate our victory which I think is ideal for every team and their administrators.”

A message on the carton of the wine reads: “We thank the President, and all Nigerians for supporting our teams and particularly the governor of Akwa Ibom State and the people of other states.”

Nigeria lead African qualifying Group B with 10 points from four games, three ahead of second-placed Zambia.

grin I thought about this a few days ago when some Zambians were boasting.

Nigeria played Ghana at the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt in 2001. We needed to win that match to qualify for the 2002 World Cup ahead of Liberia. We Won 3-0. Around 5 minutes to the end of the match the TV cameras showed the Nigerian bench and right by the touchline were huge bottles of champagne (allegedly bought by the foreign based players). I thought to myself (a few days ago), "Imagine if we were to do something like that now".

Well the NFF were way ahead of me because reports say that they've partnered with a wine company to make these bottles of wine below for tomorrow's match.

Banyana Banyana to face Sweden in Cape Town

Oct 2, 2017


https://www.safa.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Sweden-women.jpg


2 October 2017 – The Sasol-sponsored Banyana Banyana will face Sweden in two matches early in the New Year in Cape Town.

The first clash will take place behind closed doors on Thursday, 18 January.

The second fixture is scheduled for Sunday, 21 January 2018, with a 14h00 kickoff.

SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan has wished the team well on the upcoming clash.

“A match against Sweden is another step for Banyana Banyana as we build towards two major competitions – the qualification for the 2018 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana and the 2019 FIFA World Cup in France – and this is a chance for the South African Senior Women’s National Team to go to the next level,” said Dr Jordaan.

“It’s a major challenge because Sweden is one of the top women’s team in the world, we would like to wish Banyana Banyana well in that game.”

This will be the third time the two nations meet – they have only faced each other in Olympic competition – and the South Africans will be hoping for a third time lucky.

The first match took place at the 2012 London Olympic Games with Banyana Banyana going down 4-1 – the retired Portia Modise scored South Africa’s solitary goal.

Their most recent meeting was at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games (Wednesday, 3 August), where South Africa lost 1-0.

“As the brand behind Sasol Banyana Banyana, we believe that the upcoming matches against a world class opponent like Sweden, will put them in good stead as they step up their preparations for the upcoming Africa Women Cup of Nations and FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Our partnership with SAFA goes a long way in ensuring that such games become a regular occurrence for Sasol Banyana Banyana thus ensuring that the development of women’s football in the country is maintained,” said Ms. Nozipho Mbatha, Sasol Group Brand Marketing Manager.

This will be the first time Banyana Banyana play a match in Cape Town, and also the first time they play in a World Cup venue in South Africa.

“In collaboration with the SAFA National Executive Committee, it gives me great pleasure to confirm that Cape Town will host the Swedish Senior Women’s National Football Team, together with our own Banyana Banyana. We urge everyone to come out in numbers to support our successful women’s national team. The opportunity to watch our in-form dynamic sports gems play live, is long overdue,” said Alderman Patricia De Lille, Mayor of the City of Cape Town.

Sweden is currently ranked 11th in the world and 5th in Europe, while South Africa is 52nd and 5th in the world and on the African continent respectively.

“This is great news. We have been fortunate enough to play some of the top footballing nations where we gave a good account of ourselves, even though we did not get the results we wanted. This is amazing news to be playing Sweden – we met them twice, and this third meeting will be a way for us to show how far we have come, to show what we have done in the last year and a half,” said Banyana Banyana interim head coach Desiree Ellis.


“It is also for the players to make their mark so they can go and play in better leagues around the world. I would just like to say to SAFA and our sponsor Sasol, thanks for all the support, we can only get better if we play against top nations.”

Leading to the Olympic Games, Banyana Banyana played against high-profile teams like the USA, the Netherlands as well as New Zealand.

Earlier this year (January 2017), South Africa travelled to Reunion Islands to face France – a match they lost 2-0.

“Playing Sweden is going to be a morale booster for the team, because in order for us to improve we need to play the best in the business, so we can see how far we have come as a nation. Sweden is one of the best footballing nations when it comes to women’s football, we have already faced them twice and lost twice, but there has been a lot of improvement since the first match and we could have defeated them in Brazil,’ said Banyana Banyana captain Refiloe Jane.

“For individual players, these matches serve as an opportunity for us to market ourselves – you will remember that Janine van Wyk and Roxanne Barker were snapped up by overseas teams after we faced the USA and the Netherlands respectively, so these games are also important on that score.”

In their last five matches, Sweden drew against Germany, lost to both Italy and the Netherlands, and beat Russia and Croatia.

** The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be the 8th edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. It will be played between 7 June and 7 July in France where 24 teams will contest for the trophy. USA are the defending champions.

** The 2018 Women Africa Cup of Nations tournament, to be held in Ghana from 17 November to 1 December, also doubles as the African qualifiers to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The top three nations in Ghana will qualify for France.

** South Africa has never qualified for the World Cup, but has been to two Olympic Games tournaments (2012 and 2016).

Sports › Super Falcons Fans Complain As Banyana Banyana Announce Friendly Against Sweden. by naptu2(op): 6:00pm On Oct 02, 2017
South African Football Association (SAFA) announced that Banyana Banyana will play two friendly matches against Sweden in January and this brought a reaction from the Super Falcons Fans Twitter handle which complained that the Super Falcons have not played a match or trained together since winning the African Women’s Nations Cup last year.

SAFA’s announcement was retweeted by Banyana Banyana’s star defender and captain Janine Van Wyk. The matches are sponsored by South African energy and chemical company SASOL, which sponsors the South African women’s national teams and the South African Women’s football league.

The Super Falcon’s Fans tweet brought a reaction from Nigerian star striker, Asisat Oshoala and Ghanaian captain and midfield maestro, Elizabeth Addo (Ama Pele).
