Because of something that happened between 1996 and 1998?? Then what would you say if I told you about the 1980 Nations Cup??

That's Christopher Kanu. He was a very good footballer. He played for Ajax and in Switzerland. He and Nwankwo Kanu only played one match together for the Super Eagles (I think it was a friendly).

He and Gabriel Okolosi shone in one of those exhibition matches (I think it was an Africa vs rest of the world game).

Complete Sports often used him to deceive their readers. They would publish a huge sensational headline on their front page and put the body of the story on an inside page. The headline would be something like, "Kanu moves to Lugarno". You'd be wondering, "Why is Kanu moving to Lugarno?", You'd buy the paper, only to find out that it's about Christopher Kanu, not Nwankwo Kanu.

FANE4Naija:
I don't understand what you mean by Pinzgauer being G-Wagon's papa. Steyr-Daimler-Püch is not under Benz.

Steyr manufactures the G-Wagon for Mercedes Benz.

Part of the deal that was brokered between Shagari's Government and Steyr (which included the purchase of Pinzgauers and production of Steyr vehicles in Bauchi) included the acquisition of Steyr-Puch G-Wagens for the Presidency.

There were lots of Steyr-Puch G-Wagons at Dodan Barracks and CVU between 1980-1990.

The G-Wagon is the forerunner of the G-Class.

Babangida bough lots of Pinzgauers for the armed forces and police c1986. The process of acquiring the Pinzgauers was actually started by the Shagari Government.

Part of the deal was that some vehicles would be built for the military at the Steyr plant in Bauchi.

The Pinzgauer, Landrover Series and 504 pickup trucks were the main troop carriers in the late 1980s.

Some of those Pinzgauers were sold in the mid 1990s and they were used as farm vehicles, etc. I won't be surprised if this is one of them.

Check the link in my signature, you'll see a Nigerian Army Pinzgauer following Mandela's plane (there's a video on that thread).

We also wore light green jerseys at Korea-Japan 2002, for the exact same reason; temperature and visibility.

Korea-Japan 2002?

Asians and Africans have a lot of things in common than they care to admit
Your story was that of an Asian who took their culture to the states.
Nigerians in the states too do multiple weddings. Court, traditional and church.

Hahahahahahahahaaahaahaahhhhaha


Clearly you didn't go through the articles that I provided links to, otherwise you would have read about the British couple that had a wedding ceremony in London and had another one in Los Angeles, because they also wanted a holiday themed wedding.


Anyway, note the word in bold type in the quote below.

ritababe:
why always in Nigeria? another country no fit host am ni?

I think you are mixing up the Copa Lagos and the African Nations Cup. This is the first time that Nigeria is hosting the African Nations Cup.

Copa Lagos is organised by the Lagos State Government and is held every year at the Eko Atlantic Stadium. This year's Copa Lagos was held last Sunday and Monday. It was shorter because Lagos is also hosting the Nations Cup for the first time.


The African Nations Cup of Beach Soccer is organised by CAF. The first four editions were hosted by South Africa, the next two editions by Morocco and the last one by Seychelles. This is the first time that Nigeria is hosting it.

The Nations Cup also serves as a World Cup qualifier (in World Cup years).

Is this the Soccer Lagos?

No, this isn't the Copa Lagos. Copa Lagos was played on Sunday and Monday. This is the African Nations Cup of beach soccer.


This year's Copa Lagos was shorter because Lagos is also hosting the Nations Cup.
