Ajax and Adidas, in collaboration with the Bob Marley family has released the 2021/2022 Ajax third kit. The kit is a tribute to the Ajax fans and the love shared by the club and its fans for reggae legend Bob Marley and his iconic song, Three Little Birds.


The black kit features red, yellow and green details. On the back of the jersey, just below the collar, it features a subtle reference to the iconic song, with three little birds sitting on Amsterdam’s Andreas crosses. The kit will be worn in this season’s European matches, alongside Ajax’ home kit.

The story of Ajax, Bob Marley and Three Little Birds started in August 2008, when Ajax played a friendly match in Cardiff, against Cardiff City F.C. The Ajax fans were asked to remain in the stands after the game.
To entertain the patient fans, the stadium DJ played several tracks, one of which was Three Little Birds. The rest is history. The fans instantly embraced the song as their own and have been singing it at every game since. A true symbol of hope, the fans sing the song regardless of the score in the game.

Across generations, no musical artist has influenced the world quite like Bob Marley. His legacy and messages of hope, love, justice and unity remain as powerful today, as when they were written. An active and dedicated fan of the sport, Bob Marley’s widely known love of football makes this collaboration and the collective love for his music from Ajax fans especially poignant with his family.

A proud Cedella Marley said: “I am beyond touched that Ajax has taken Three Little Birds and made it their anthem. Stories like this warm my heart and show how impactful songs like Three Little Birds can be. Soccer was everything to my father…and to use his words ‘football is freedom’.

The kit features a jersey, short and socks. On the socks, Amsterdam’s Andreas crosses are prominently highlighted. The range also includes a track top, track pant, sweater, t-shirt and Samba footwear. Samba footwear originates from football but has become a global fashion icon in its own right. With stripes in red, yellow and green, the footwear also features the Ajax crest on the tongue of the shoe and the three little birds on Amsterdam’s Andreas crosses on the heel tab.

The history of condoms goes back at least several centuries, and perhaps beyond. For most of their history, condoms have been used both as a method of birth control, and as a protective measure against sexually transmitted diseases.

Condoms have been made from a variety of materials; prior to the 19th century, chemically treated linen and animal tissue (intestine or bladder) are the best documented varieties. Rubber condoms gained popularity in the mid-19th century, and in the early 20th century major advances were made in manufacturing techniques.

Prior to the introduction of the combined oral contraceptive pill, condoms were the most popular birth control method in the Western world. In the second half of the 20th century, the low cost of condoms contributed to their importance in family planning programs throughout the developing world.

Condoms have also become increasingly important in efforts to fight the AIDS pandemic. The oldest condoms ever excavated were found in a cesspit located in the grounds of Dudley Castle and were made from animal membrane. The condoms dated back to as early as 1642.

For those who have used a condom before, I'm sure they are some experience you would like to share.
What's your worst experience using a condom?

The United States spent more than $8 billion over 15 years on efforts to deprive the Taliban of their profits from Afghanistan's opium and heroin trade, from poppy eradication to airstrikes and raids on suspected labs.

That strategy failed.

As the United States wraps up its longest war, Afghanistan remains the world's biggest illicit opiate supplier and looks certain to remain so as the Taliban has seized power in Kabul, said current and former U.S. and U.N. officials and experts.

Widespread destruction during the war, millions uprooted from their homes, foreign aid cuts, and losses of local spending by departed U.S.-led foreign troops are fueling an economic and humanitarian crisis that is likely to leave many destitute Afghans dependent on the narcotics trade for survival.

That dependence threatens to bring more instability as the Taliban, other armed groups, ethnic warlords, and corrupt public officials vie for drug profits and power.

Some U.N. and U.S. officials worry Afghanistan's slide into chaos is creating conditions for even higher illicit opiate production, a potential boon to the Taliban.

"The Taliban have counted on the Afghan opium trade as one of their main sources of income," Cesar Gudes, the head of the Kabul office of the U.N. Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), told Reuters. "More production brings drugs with a cheaper and more attractive price, and therefore a wider accessibility."

With the insurgents entering Kabul on Sunday, "these are the best moments in which these illicit groups tend to position themselves" to expand their business, Gudes said.

The Taliban banned poppy growing in 2000 as they sought international legitimacy, but faced a popular backlash and later mostly changed their stance, according to experts.

Despite the threats posed by Afghanistan's illicit drug business, experts noted, the United States and other nations rarely mention in public the need to address the trade - estimated by the UNODC at more than 80% of global opium and heroin supplies.

"We've stood by on the sidelines and, unfortunately, allowed the Taliban to become probably the largest funded non-designated terrorist organization on the globe," said a U.S. official with knowledge of Afghanistan's drug trade.

"The U.S. and international partners have continued to pull out and not addressed poppy cultivation," the official said on condition of anonymity. "What you're going to find is that it has exploded."

Asked for comment, a State Department official said the United States would continue to support the Afghan people, "including our ongoing counternarcotics efforts," but declined to say how aid would continue should U.S. assistance stop if the Taliban seize power.

POPPY CULTIVATION SOARS

Afghan farmers weigh myriad factors in deciding how much poppy to plant. These range from annual precipitation and the price of wheat, the main alternative crop to poppy, to world opium and heroin prices.

Yet even during droughts and wheat shortages, when wheat prices rocket, Afghan farmers have grown poppy and extracted opium gum that is refined into morphine and heroin. In recent years, many have installed Chinese-made solar panels to power deep water wells.

Three of the last four years have seen some of Afghanistan's highest levels of opium production, according to the UNODC. Even as the COVID-19 pandemic raged, poppy cultivation soared 37% last year, it reported in May.

Illicit narcotics are "the country's largest industry except for war," said Barnett Rubin, a former State Department adviser on Afghanistan.

The estimated all-time high for opium production was set in 2017 at 9,900 tons worth some $1.4 billion in sales by farmers or roughly 7% of Afghanistan's GDP, the UNODC reported.

When the value of drugs for export and local consumption are taken into account, along with imported precursor chemicals, the UNODC estimated the country’s overall illicit opiate economy that year at as much as $6.6 billion.

The Taliban and public officials have long been involved in the narcotics trade, experts said, although some dispute the extent of the insurgents' role and profits.

The United Nations and Washington contend the Taliban are involved in all facets, from poppy planting, opium extraction, and trafficking to exacting "taxes" from cultivators and drug labs to charging smugglers fees for shipments bound for Africa, Europe, Canada, Russia, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia.

Some of those shipments are hurled across the heavily patrolled border to traffickers in Iran with rudimentary catapults, reported David Mansfield, a leading researcher into Afghanistan's illicit drug trade.

U.N. officials reported that the Taliban likely earned more than $400 million between 2018 and 2019 from the drug trade. A May 2021 U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan (SIGAR) report quoted a U.S. official as estimating they derive up to 60% of their annual revenue from illicit narcotics.

Some experts dispute that data.

Mansfield says his field studies show the most the Taliban can earn from illicit opiates is about $40 million annually, predominantly from levies on opium production, heroin labs and drug shipments.

The insurgents, he said, make more money exacting fees on legal imports and exports at roadside checkpoints.

Washington spent an estimated $8.6 billion between 2002 and 2017 to throttle Afghanistan's drug trade in order to deny the Taliban funds, according to a 2018 SIGAR report. Apart from poppy eradication, the United States and allies backed interdiction raids and alternative crop programs, airstrikes on suspected heroin labs and other measures.

Those efforts "didn't really have much success," retired U.S. Army General Joseph Votel, who commanded U.S. Central Command from 2016-2019, told Reuters.

Instead, experts said, they stoked anger against the government in Kabul and its foreign backers – and sympathy for the Taliban - among farmers and laborers who depend on opium production to feed their families.

The Taliban learned that lesson from their ban on poppy growing in 2000, said Brookings Institution scholar Vanda Felbab-Brown.

Despite a steep decline in production, the ban ignited "a huge political storm against the Taliban and it was one reason why there were such dramatic defections after the U.S. invasion," she said.

Therefore, experts said, it is unlikely the Taliban will prohibit poppy cultivation should they gain power.

"A future government," said Mansfield, "will need to tread carefully to avoid alienating its rural constituency and provoking resistance and violent rebellion."

Nonsense!
Running to London will not save HellRufai, Tinubu and that lifeless vegetable from reaping where they've sown.

They fall sick and all they remember is London.
They fail to think of the average Nigerian living on less than a Dollar/Day and how such Nigerian would be able to afford basic healthcare.


Every Nigerian that has looted public funds will suffer terribly.


Also, to all those Zombies supporting mediocrity and failure especially that dead vulture griller and his ilks, may posterity not judge you.

Bastards.

Big Wiz is the best thing that happened to the Naija music space.
Wiz put Nigeria on the global map.

Nonsense.


This training facility is what we call a National Stadium.
Go to Europe and see what we call National Stadium.

Countries with population as small as 5 to 10 million have world class and UEFA Category 4 stadia such as the Puskas Arena, Berlin Olympiastadion, Friends Arena, Millenium Park, Wembley, Aviva stadium, La Cartuja stdium etc.


It's high time we stop celebrating mediocrity.
Sports is a very big industry and nations are generating millions of dollars from it.

Where is that VultureBBQGrills guy, come and masturbate to this thread.


Look at two lifeless vegetables who is/about to lead 200million people into doom.


No be juju be that?

Unfortunately for the wife, the beating won't solve the problem.

The husband's third leg is responsible.
Maybe she should find a way to tame the husband's third leg.
But I don't think it is possible.



PS: Mr. Godamm Nigga above me is clearly high on some crack or AZ

A simple PCR would have saved that guy.
RIP to him.

What a country as big as Kenya couldn't do.
A tiny nation Benin did.

Anyways, I don't give a fvck about Lamidi Cownu and Igboho.

falcon01:
Bruh, don't waste your time. Dont call her, don't think of her, Change your mind before she does.

It's difficult not to think of her!

Hello fellow Nairalanders,
There's this girl I really like. She's my spec and we just clicked and became good friends.
I actually met her at an event and we exchanged numbers.
I did all the necessary follow ups and we connected.
We have gone swimming, outings and I have invited her over to my place like three times.
We have great conversations, kisses and all that, but no sex.

She called me recently and told me I need to leave her alone because she is Fickle minded.

I went through the internet to research more about fickle minded people.

According to vocabulary.com, People who are fickle change their minds so much you can't rely on them. If your best friend suddenly decides that she doesn't like you one week, and then the next week she wants to hang out again, she's being fickle.
Fickle comes from the Old English word ficol, for deceitful. We usually use fickle to talk about people, but it can also be used for abstract things that alternately favor you and abuse you, like the weather. If you win the lottery and then lose everything else in the world that's important to you, fate is being fickle.


I am now confused. Should I persuade her because I want her to be my girlfriend.
I am not a Simp and I don't want to be all around her if she is truly fickle minded.

Help a bro.
Your comments are highly anticipated.

Know this and know the truth.

Former Nigeria sprinter Enefiok Udo-Obong told ESPN that the 4x400m relay team that won silver in the Sydney Olympics 21 years ago, which has since been upgraded to gold, had its moment of glory "stolen" by the USA.

The American team, led by Michael Johnson, won gold on the day. But doping violations revealed in subsequent years saw the gold change hands to Nigeria. Although the Nigerian team members have since received their medals, albeit 14 years later, they want to stand in front of the world and hear their anthem played.


Udo-Obong, who ran a blistering final leg in the final for Nigeria in Australia, told ESPN: "It's a feeling that was stolen from us.

"We raised that issue when we had the Athletes Forum in Switzerland, with the IOC, and it is one of the things that we feel should be given back to the athletes because that moment of pride cannot really be replaced.

"Standing in front of the world with a billion viewers watching you. ... That was one of the things I wanted to enjoy and I didn't enjoy that.

"That's the kind of feeling I would have used to influence other younger ones, especially in my continent and in my country. I didn't have that experience, or I didn't have that opportunity to do so.

"We are hoping that doping will stop but even when it doesn't, people who are clean must have a way to regain that honour which they lost."
Looking back, Udo-Obong concedes that Johnson's team was superior on the night, and as their wild celebrations immediately after the race showed, the Nigerians were ecstatic with the silver medal they had won.

Johnson, who picked up the baton in the final leg of the race, opened up such a wide gap it was impossible to do anything but fight for second. Udo-Obong stretched his every last sinew to close a 10-meter gap and sneak home for a silver medal, ahead of two Caribbean nations.

"Winning the silver was an extraordinary thing," Udo-Obong said. "It was a feat we were so proud of, and I would have happily lived with that.

"It was a rare feat, something we had worked hard for. It's something that we felt, 'OK, fine. We're second best in the world at that point in time.' It was bold enough for us."

But then, in 2004, the IAAF ruled that Jerome Young, a member of the USA team in the semifinals, was ineligible to run due to doping offenses and stripped the U.S. of its medal, moving everyone else up one place.
It was almost too good to be true, and Udo-Obong did everything he could to keep himself in check, admitting that the USA could have brought any of their talents and won the races fair and square.

He said: "When we started hearing news about how there was discrepancies in testing of some of the American runners, I started to think, 'Oh, what if?'

"But I had to keep myself in check because I don't like to deceive myself. The Americans could have brought any of their top 16 athletes and probably would have won the gold.

"That's how talented their pool of quarter-milers are from the college level to the international level. They were actually the king of the sprints. So, we didn't feel hard done by even when the stories were coming out."
The Nigerian Olympian was right to be cautious. USATF appealed the decision and a year later, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in its favour, upholding the argument that Young did not run in the finals and so the team should not be disqualified on the basis of his drug use.

And then three years later in 2008, Antonio Pettigrew [who did run in that final], admitted that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs under the direction of now-banned U.S. track and field coach Trevor Graham.

Udo-Obong said of Pettigrew's confession in court: "My reaction was that it was long overdue.

"By then, I had started to call myself Olympic gold medalist because I believed then I deserved the gold knowing that [four] American runners had drug-related issues.

"I feel sad for Michael Johnson, because he deserved that gold medal. He could have run with any four of their athletes and still won gold. He was such an incredible athlete.

"This was the pre-Usain Bolt era. A sport like track and field always needed a symbol of purity, of success, of talent, and Michael Johnson was that at that period of time. He was not found guilty of anything, so it was really sad for him."

Tinubu that single handedly made Lagos his footstool.
What plans does this type of man have for Nigeria in this 21st century?

This man should getat abeg

PDP was power-drunk for a long time and now they don't even know how to play Opposition.
Our people say that a masqurade that performs well outside didn't learn those skills on the playground.

PDP singlehandedly sat on the nations resources and milked this country dry. They handed over the baton of shame to their colleagues in APC.

Secondus is a failure.
Buni that was voted by Yobe people to become their governor has relocated to Abuja to head APC, he has failed his people.

This country needs young and visionary leaders.
But not the type of Dimeji Bankole and Yeye Bello.

I will start taking PDP serious when they move out of Wadata Plaza and complete their national secretariat.

Corrupt set of Nigerians who sat on the nations treasury since 1999.

No difference between APCows and PDP.
Bunch of useless entities.


It shall not be well for any politician who embezzles money or dwells on kickbacks.

Most of these Nairalanders that condemn BBNaija are very big pretenders.
They jump on this thread and start spewing trash but they actually keep tabs on the show.


But this OP shaa, you create a thread and still chop FTC.
Nonsense.

The Nigerian Police Faux is one of the worst problems facing this country since the days of Louis Edet.
