I don't think that's his problem, his problem is "a ladder is supposed to be climbed from the bottom"

His Man city move was his greatest mistake

Was it his manchester city move that made him grow yansh and belly? Was it the move that made him unable to run/ pay attention? Nothing wrong with the move, his sole problem is a lack of discipline and youthful exuberance plus his poverty backround, so, the money has gotten to his head. Ronaldo at 34 is more ambitious and fitter tthan this unserious dude.

Without any notice, without any prior hint, the official Customs exchange rate was increased yesterday. The rate which used to be N306 per dollar has now been increased to N326 per dollar. Consequently, this has led to an increase in the cost of clearing cars and other imported items at the Nigerian ports.

The new rate was announced on Monday morning and it was implemented immediately throwing lots of vehicle owners and clearing agents into a state of confusion.

One of the clearing agents Autojosh spoke to confirmed that he had been asked to pay a surface duty amount of N2,350,000 for a Mercedes Benz SUV. However, he got a shocker after he tried to input the details into the Customs server in order to proceed with the clearing process. "This N2,500,000 I'm seeing on this computer must be an error".. He said to himself.

Another agent said he had calculated the total clearing cost of his customer's 2005 Toyota Camry using the usual surface duty of N201,000. Now, he has to go back to his customer to explain that the surface duty has been increased to N214,000 (note that these quoted surface duties is different from total clearing costs. Surface duty does not include taxes, shipping/terminal charges and other ancillary costs).

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents at Tin Can Island Port, Mr Emmanuel Onyeme, all transactions and cargoes that were cleared at the port on Monday were already paying N326 per dollar.

The introduction of this policy is really saddening and it's even more saddening that it was implemented with immediate effect after importers had shipped their items and clearing agents had already accepted jobs using calculations based on the old rate of N306 per dollar.

Do you have a car or other items that's currently heading to Nigeria? Be ready to pay more than you initially anticipated.

what's the meaning of this GOAT! pls

I actually did not watch it via SuperSports but that is what we Nigerians get when we did not develop our own media and we import everything including TV stations.

Exactly!

Lol it’s good he took some humor out of the situation lol. I’m sure that’s not the reaction those rude fans where expecting

But yea she goes through bad racism, like blatant in your face racism. It has gotten like 1,000 times worse since Trump got in office

If she was from another race or even if she was a Black American, they wouldnt treat her so badly. Africans need to wake up, because there is a new wave of racism against us. They no longer target Black Americans, it’s now us there targeting.

The blatant racism and disrespect Africans get, if 1/10th of that happened to any other race it would be chaos and outrage.

That’s sad they treat northerners like that in Lagos. What kind of things do they do? How long have they been treating northerners poorly for?
Your right, the same way we treat ourselves is the same way others are treating us

Well said!

Benekruku:
Bitter truth!


That guy already made a big mistake in his career I doubt he will ever recover from.

But then when the elders of the game told him, The father said they were jealous.

It is not about elders of the game rubbish. Who was he going to bench before? The problem with Ihenacho is that he is so lazy, does not keep fit nor work hard.he started growing yansh and started becoming fat, he does not struggle for anything on the field and has lost all forms of enthusiasm. Maybe the money got to him..he feeds anyhow and lacks professionalism (most Nigerian payers do anyway). He was such a disappointment.

ykalhaji:
The corner kicks were not too bad, but throw ins were horrible and because you will always have more throw ins than any other set piece, they must learn how to at least manage it if they can't capitalize on it. Almost 3/4 of our throw ins went to Norway after the 2nd pass, that is poor positioning on the receiver of the throw in and the second receiver.

You are right!
Did you see the bunch of jokers employed by Supersports to analyse the games? They blasted the Super falcons well and kept on praising their bayana bayana babes that lost 3:1 to Spain. Their bayana bayana babes conceided 7 goals when they faced this same Norwegian team in a friendly few days to the competition.Let us see how their bayan bayana would do in the next matches. Smh

Favor99:
Yea if only we Africans would understand how much the world around us hate and despise us so much. Africans haven’t done jack to these people, yet the oyinbo are so obsessed with hate for the African

Even China that did blackface last year is in the process of colonizing us, and were busy fighting each other on nairaland. Our politicians embezzling money.

I’m not understanding why they have to carry their racism and prejiduce to soccer. It’s no where you won’t find racism

I have a friend who is a nurse and was working in Texas, she told me how much hatred and racism she goes through everyday by whites and middle easterners. They disrespect her anyhow because she’s black and has an accent

The day we realize that our enemy is not from within but is actually from the outside in far away lands, the better for us and we start loving and embracing ourselves, the way we can fight back and reclaim our continent from these invaders

Hmm
This is so deep. I am sure if she makes a little mistake, she is goint to be taken to court straight for negligence. I do not really blame the whites though as there is no love among us even in Nigeria. In Lagos for example, most people discriminate against our Northern brothers popularly called "aboki". In the Western world, we are being treted the same way we treat the abokis. Even here on Nairaland, they have carried the tribalistic thing to the forum. Like you said, football, a unifying sport should have been an exception. Imagine a footballer being thrown a banana during a match because of his skin colour. lol. He peeled it and ate it. lol

Someone asked if it is 1st body and you failed to reply

Favor99:
Smh, they’re so racist. One African American on this forum have been complaining and warning us about these racist people. Us Africans really have no friends in this world but ourselves. We need to stick together

Always so painful when you watch such matches. If an African team had scored a supposed or a "thought to be " offside goal, they would go and check the VAR over and over again to look for just 1 inch of offside or anything to say it was an offside. A team has the right to request for a VAR in a controversial situation.
Also, in that match, a Malian mistakenly controlled the ball with a slight touch of his hands around the thighs during a counter break.The referee did not see it, an Italian player told the referee and he blew his whistle immediately. Is a player supposed to be the one to listen to or his fellow officials? They just watch out for all these minor minor things to go against an African team.

ykalhaji:
They were hesitant. The Coach needs to decide his starting 11 now and then have them play scrimmages with the bench so they can have a feel for themselves, there was too much hesitation in passing or even throw in, it gave the Norwegians enough time to setup their defense and positions. They need to practice "throw ins" at the same time have dedicated throw in takers and learn how to come in to space to give the thrower an outlet to throw the ball when the opponent presses the person throwing the ball.

They need to practice corner kicks as well and how to cross balls in motion. We had more than 7 wayward crosses that went straight to goal kicks yesterday. Moreover, our formation is so terrible. The coach should tweak this 443 formation sometimes and switch to a 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2 to give room for a skillful 8 to supply through balls to Oparanozi and Osoala. They both perform well when they have to pounce on a through ball. The Norwegians had several through balls yesterday arund the centre of our box while we had none. We cannot keep on sending balls to the wide when there is no support for the wide players to quickly do a 1,2 or something.......we played so wide apart.......our midfielders cannot hold ball for 1 minute. If you observe, the moment the starting whistle was blown, our players gave the ball straight to Norway deliberately. I consider this stewpid and senseless. Before you say Jack, they were all over us and we had started defending.

charliboy654:
Under 20 world cup not under 17, i thought I was the only one that saw the racism in that Mali match, the first Italian goal was off side, the penalty awarded to the Italian was a dive, I was so angry. I think Africa country should stop attending such competition cause it's of no use.

Thanks. I meant under 20 world cup. Yeah, you are right and the Malians were asking for a VAR, the referee just listened to his earpiece and said NO . It was also a very bad dive. I think Italians, Argentines and co learn all these crooked ways of winning matches in training as well and usually aided by the referee most times. Why is a VAR there if it cannot be checked on request?

Favor99:
Yea the refs be screwing the African countries a lot. Just like the handball from last years World Cup that they didn’t call.

Our players lost motivation and organization in the 2nd half. I feel if not for those bad calls that led to those goals, we could have had a different game and different outcome.

With the whites, I don’t know what there up to with them using their refs to sabotage the African teams.

Even yesterday, when the ref said their keepr was fouled by Oparanozie, it was a wrong call. Their keeper came out for an aerial challenge and fumbled. Nigeria was about pounding on the loose ball, she quickly blew her whistle. At the ongoing under 17 world cup, Mali was at the receiving end of a bad officiating by the referee and when such happens, you will observe that they will even refuse to show the highlights. The Malians requested for the VAR to be checked when there was an issue, the referee blatantly refused.

Holak:
I also wonder why someone should make such hair to play football

Maybe she was inspired by Pogba.

internetpo:
The crosses weren't even the issue. You don't cross when u have only one player in the box and tall defenders marking your 9. It doesn't work in modern football, except you have a giroud or peter crouch in ur team. That's why nothing happened.

We don't even.know how to use corners. 5 corners we got and their keeper wasn't even troubled. 5 corners they got and each time our defence shook. One resulted in a goal.

Yes! I agree keeper was poor and Coach is not tactical at all. Can't read game well.

Ordega, my crush was d best player there. Leave her and her fine hair abeg.

Imagine! So terrible! At least, let the cross even be a proper cross. How can professional footballers play more than 7 crosses to goal kick? This is more than a mistake. Ordega's hair did not allow her move swiftly. I was even surprised such hairdo was allowed considering the length and poor packing. The coach failed to read the game and never switched formation. Osoala needs experienced players to play with.

Jascon4:
Oshoala was virtually absent. The few chances she had, the finishing was horrible

What finishing was horrible? She was in an extremely tight angle with no one to square the ball to. She did not play so bad, the remainder of the team was just too slow.

Nigerian teams have been so terrible.
The goal keeper fumbled so much. 1 of the goals was due to her inability to play a goal kick properly. If you cannot play a goal kick, can'y you call on a player to help you or can't you pass the ball?
Our girls were just too slow and we totally lost the midfield. The coach should have switched to 442 fast the moment the midfield was taken over by the Norwegians. Our keeper cannot talk, cannot communicate , just diving senselessly..Ordega should go and cut that long hair of hers. Our girls could not even cross ballls. There were more than 7 wayward crosses. Such a shame!

Speed Kills

Yes, it does!
100km/hr is not a bad speed on the highway

9jaRealist:
Then YOU are part of the problem...
Highway Code is a general guide, the REAL speed limit is what is actually signposted on each road or bridge.
>

Hahahahaha. The reaction time is why you should not do so much in case anything happens. The speed at which you move also depends on a whole lot of facttors like the type of car you drive , how streamlined is your vehicle , driver's experience and expertise and so many more but it is better to be safe than sorry. Speed thrills but it also kills.

lexy2014:
D screenshot u posted said d highest speed limit is 100 and yet u do 110, 120

That is why I said I know I sometimes do 110, 120(which I am guilty). 100 is the highest and not 70 as informed by the OP. Even before doing 110 , 120, I knew it was above the limits.

twhy111:
Except you're driving very late in the night, you can't maintain 100km/h on that bridge for long. That bridge is always busy. Nigerians drive recklessly when they see good roads.

Saturdays and Sundays are usually free. You can even do a 120km/hr and maintain it. If you drive around 4am too, it is usually free by then.

100km/h is not too much on the 3rd mainland bridge. It is a misinformation to say that the speed limit is 70km/h. I know I sometimes do 110, 120 but 100 is not too much.

Hi

Wetin person no go see for Nairaland?................You and your baba are foooooooooooooooools.

theDEVILisHERE:
Such things are not learnt, it's inborn

Nature born talent stopped as at 2006/7
last I can think of were Mista (Valencia), Van Persie, Gudjhasson (Chelsea), hleb, Rosicsky
etc

The game is now for Athletes not Artists
so expect more Lukaku type

Chai

theDEVILisHERE:
By looping u mean flicking ball up over the keeper
Raul does that a lot but was never known as the king of such
That technique was quite common then
Claudio Lopez (Valencia), crespo (parma), Nuno Capucho (Porto) had better technique in that area

Bergkamp is more of a combination of chip and ur loop
Very exquisite technique, no one does it like him
Most are used to his late career Arsenal goals but many of his best goals where at Ajax when he was young
Even at the closest distance he takes the ball over keepers head with just 1 touch
I had a DVD containing all his Ajax top goals and career
Technique wise he is in another level far above any player

Juninho (Lyon) is the best freekick taker of all time not cause of how many he scored but cause his technique is superior to all others in that regard

To be the best in anything your technique must be superior

I agree with that of Juninho. He also had a 90%+ accuracy
But, what is wrong with useless strikers of nowadays like Lukaku? One on one with the keeper in a close range, they won't even try to play a bit of a lifted shot (not loop o), they will just try to force a useless shot pass the keeper which will be deflected / saved most times. Can't they watch clips of their predecessors and learn finishing 101..the basics of finishing.

Jokerman:
Lol.. Who give Raul 404 goals... Lolssss... Raul just get 312 or 313 goals

I am not talking about just Madrid.
I said career totals.
You can check his wiki page

sssoulw:
Look the topic very well.... Voted Goal in the UCL

I know bro. You win!

Jokerman:
Raul played 104 games for Spain and scored 44 goals.... Is that clinical enough??
Ronaldo 98 games for Brazil 62 goals
RVN 70 games 35 goals

Let me not talk of Messi or Henry

Funny guy, it is not about the amount of games as you do not know the game plan of the coaches. How many through balls was he given and how many did he miss? Talking about goals, Ronaldo had a career total of 352 while Raul had a career total of 404. Raul was way way more prolific than he was. You can take that to the bank . RVN had a total career strikes of 349
