Blue and red jumpers and white sneakers, looking as handsome as ever. When I saw you, my heart just started doing me jigijigi

Aha! So it was a doppelganger.

I saw you at Lekki Phase 1 gate and waved but you were busy with your phone.

Amazing! So what was I wearing?

SalamRushdie:
Did I read the part that said she started in Lekki phase 1

Yeah. I saw her when she ran past the Lekki Phase 1 gate. I didn't take a picture of her because I didn't think that she was competing in the marathon (she was running on the sidewalk when she got to the roundabout). I only realised that she was competing when people started applauding her.

That's when it occurred to me that she probably started from the start point on Admiralty Way. I was wondering why there was a start point there when I passed earlier in the morning.

This means that she probably ran from Lekki to V.I.

Abeg, mods, remove the Islam title from my profile. I'm not a muslim. I'm a christian.

It will vanish after a week. You posted on a thread in the Islam For Muslims section. That's why it's there. It will vanish after a week.

It was when I heard the applause that I realised that she was actually competing in the children's category. There's a start point on Admiralty Way and I guess that's for the children's race.

That blue arch in the picture marks the start point.

Politics › Re: Nigerian Coat Of Arms Modified. See Pix For Proof. by naptu2: 12:15pm On Feb 09, 2017

Virtually every region or state of Nigeria had its own coat of arms from 1960-1975. The government of General Murtala Muhammad discouraged the use of state flags and coats of arms, but some states (eg, Lagos) continued using their state flags and coats of arms after the return to civilian rule in 1979.

Even more states (including those that did not exist when Murtala was head of state) have designed their own flags and coats of arms since 1999.

You can see all the state flags and coats of arms on this thread.

Being a goalkeeper is not an easy job. You can keep hundreds of clean sheets, make thousands of spectacular saves, but all people will remember is that terrible mistake that you made.

May 29th, 1998. Abiodun Baruwa dashed deadly Yugoslavian striker, Predrag Mijatovich a very easy goal.

Old news. Obasanjo said the same thing in his book and both Pastor Bakare and El Rufai had said this years ago.

Believe you me, I know this and even more. That Enyimba handle only gives updates when it is convenient for them, especially when they are at home. My article is also about their inconsistencies.

Also, LMCNPFL most times give only limited updates whenever El-Kanemi are playing at home

Yeah, I think it's because of security concerns. That's why I think following the hashtag is best, so you can get information from different sources. For example, you can see that others continued providing information about the El Kanemi vs Enyimba game (up to full time), even after the LMCNPFL handle stopped tweeting.

I think they were the first Nigerian team to play in the final of a caf competition

Yes, but not in that match.

These are the other Nigerian teams that played in the final before 1996 (from memory. Forgive me if I forget to mention any team).

Shooting Stars won the African Cup Winners Cup in 1976, played against Zamalek in the final of the Champions Cup in 1984 (Odegbami was injured, but if I remember correctly, Yekini played in that final) and beat Nakivubo Villa 3-0 in the final of the 1993 CAF Cup.

Rangers International won the 1977 African Cup Winners Cup.

Stationery Stores lost to Union Douala in the final of the 1981 African Cup Winners Cup.

My dad led the government delegation to Algeria as Iwuanyanwu Nationale lost in the final of the 1988 African Champions Cup.

BCC Lions of Gboko (coached by Amodu Shuaibu) won the 1990 African Cup Winners Cup (aka Mandela Cup).

(A Nigerian team also won the 1993 WAFU Cup, but I can't remember which team)
