SniperInADiaper: Sure. You have your opinion and that is fine but I pity you for not "getting on the horse after youve been thrown off"

I'm sorry, not familiar with that idiom.

Maybe I hit a nerve with my first comment. Like I said before, I admire you for how you deal with adversity. Negativity is always out here to get us, so the essence of living is simply being positive in the midst of all the troubles in life. This is what my religion teaches. This is what I think life is about.

I don't think my opinion is that out of the ordinary. A lot of people would've thought the same way. You need to understand why people would think this instead of thinking bitter thoughts and that we're out to get you.

I wish you and your children the best in life. May you go from strength to strength.

SuyaEater: The way they were commenting you will think USA is a powerhouse in football....it was unbelievable the way casey keller belittled nigeria....but praised the tahitians...yes the boys missed alot of chances...but hey thats football...he didnt even consider that the boys have been on 4 continents since may 31st ..north america to europe then to africa then to south america....

I think just people from any other nation would be rooting for Tahiti. Who doesn't want to witness a historic upset? If it was Ghana against Tahiti, I'd cheer for Tahiti.

But yeah, Nigeria's a rising star in international football, and some people, especially those from the West don't like it, especially if they think their own country (USA) is the next big thing in football.

But yeah, we need some work before we can really challenge Spain or Brazil. Hopefully we're good enough for Uruguay. They played horribly against Spain.

SniperInADiaper: Ive been through genetic testing and everything is fine with me. You shouldn't assume something you are clueless about.

Thanks for your useless post tho

Maybe genetic testing can't find out everything. Look, I do not intend to offend you. Getting through the adversities of life with a positive is one of the best things on earth. However, after the second child maybe you should've reconsidered bringing more of them to this world.

I stand by what I said.

This was Tahiti's first goal in a major international tournament. This means:

We must beat Uruguay outright, a draw would not be good enough. (Assuming we lose to Spain, and not a draw or win.)

I still have faith in Keshi and the boys. It's Nigeria's and Africa's turn to shine in FIFA.

Maybe Tahiti is simply not challenging enough to bring out the best in the Super Eagles. Who knows, we might draw with Spain and beat Uruguay outright.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAHITI SCORES!!!!!! 3-1 9ja

ANODA MISS?!!

I had high hopes for the Super Eagles. But they're playing so sloppy against such a bad team. How could they hope to win against Spain or Uruguay if they continue to play like this? Please play better, cleaner, and score like 7 goals in the second half.

BraveGuy: I totally disagree with you that this woman is a false prophet. Without a doubt, she has had an experience, and has interpreted it in her own way. Did you know that Daniel & John the Apostle saw the same thing and wrote it in their own way?

Do you want to tell me that if you live in accordance with her practical suggestions on holy living you will sin against God?

I'm saying we should be sceptical. There is no need for further miracle to help spread the Gospel. The Bible itself and the Holy Spirit is all we need.

Those two easy misses may cost us the tournament if we draw against Uruguay. Dammit.

GH KWAME: We have to make this clear and
straight forward. If Naija fail to win
against Tahiti they automatically are
no more Champions Of Africa

There's not even the slightest possibility that Nigeria will not win against Tahiti.

Just like there's no possibility that Ghana could overtake Nigeria in any aspect.

The Bible has warned us about false prophets, even those that appeared to do miracles, like raising from the dead. Do not put your trust to this woman, but to the Word of God, and Christ Jesus Himself.

If my child marries a non-African (non-black), then I will not only disown him/her, but I will hold a funeral, because that child is dead to me.

codeine123: Nigeria will win Thaiti, but the goal margin wouldn't be much, something like a 2 1,1 0 or 3 2 margin. Our main concern should be Uruagy and spain, a draw against both countries will put Nigeria in a good position to move through to the quater final stage. My 2 cent piece of advice.

Draw against both Spain and Uruguay no be easy o. Most likely we will lose to Spain. If we only draw against Uruguay then it comes down goal differences so that's why we need to really crush Tahiti.

It's their first match so we need to take advantage of their nervousness playing against the big boys. If we can't beat Uruguay outright, then we must beat Tahiti by more than Uruguay does.

Shegetine: God revealed it to me last night. Nigeria 1 v Tahiti 0. Beleive me...

That had better be after the first 5 minutes, and not full time.

bboiabb: i agree but don't get over confident. We all know what happens when we Nigerians get over confident.

Overconfident is saying we can beat Spain no problem. If you can't crush Tahiti, you don't deserve to represent Africa.

Irises: Tahiti won their nations cup. The are not small boys. All the teams in dis cup must not be underated

Tahiti has a population of 178,000. Source: Wikipedia. Lagos Island (Not Lagos, only Lagos Island) has a population of over 209,000.

Why is it always in Asia that such craziness happens?

Symphony007: I love this move by ameachi. Enough of this igbos called ikwerres who claim to be riverines running rivers state. It is time for the real riverines like the bonny,kalabari,andoni;abua;etc...to take control of their state. I do not know how it will be made possible but by ameachi just aknowledging it, is a great step.

Why seek to divide Rivers state and indeed, all of Nigeria by ethnic groups? Can't we just be identified as simply Nigerians and be judged based on merit and not on something we can't control, like ethnicity? Affirmative action, like all discrimination, is wrong.

Lagos is the most dynamic city on this continent. Lagos has a lot of non-urban areas that it could spread to. Its future is boundlessly bright, provided that infrastructure development is up to speed. As long as we have governors like Fashola, I will always believe in Lagos.

It's no big deal if it happens. Nigeria is in Africa, a land very suitable for human habitation whereas the United States is in North America, a frozen land like Europe that is unfit for human beings to live, except for those mutated albinos aka oyibos. Nigeria has plenty of land and can support a huge population while still being able to be prosperous. Our African neighbours are not densely-populated so Nigerians can always move out of our border and populate the neighbouring countries, like Cameroon, Gabon, Chad, Central African Republic, Benin, Togo, Niger, Burkina Faso, etc.

Our large population is our strength. It's what makes us the Giant of Africa. FG should encourage people to have more children, and subsidise raising children.

MRbrownJAY: educate yourself, or let me do the honors and educate you:
some people are born overweight due to their parents lifestyle.
you certainly dont have to eat "like a pig" to gain weight.
some people have bigger physical build and store fat easier than others.
some people have what is called HYPOTHYROIDISM, and thus gain weight whether they eat or starve themselves..... also check Cushing's syndrome.
some people gain weight due to STRESS
some people gain weight due to the medication they take (antipsychotic/antidepressant/diabetes or high blood pressure medication)
last but not least, remember that not everyone has the luxury to A) eat healthy food or B) have time to exercise.

the important thing here is, if THEY are happy with their bodies, why would you bust a vein about it?! if you are happy with your life, and they are with theirs, then the world is a better place.



check my earlier reply to understand that being obese is NOT always a result of having an unhealthy lifestyle or diet. as for saying it is disgusting, it probably is to you and you are entitled to your opinions, but dont make it look like YOUR opinion is the way for ALL. many obese people are very comfortable in their obesity/life, and wanting them to change because YOU have a problem with it is a joke. live your life and let others live theirs, so long as they are happy and dont do anything criminal (or against the law).
you should only read NL more often to understand that many African men prefer big women to slim ones.



again, you are using your way of life to try to dictate how others should live theirs. some people love their fatty food, African food is "rich" like that and there is not much you can do about this.......this is why most 9ja people over 40 have weight issues, couple with the odd beer here and there, and no wonder we have so many pot bellies and overweight women out there.
but here is the catch: ALL IS WELL with them! it may not be in to YOU but, to many out there, happiness is all about MONEY and LOVE....... and definitely not physical weight. so do you, and let them do THEM.

i guess, if i'd listen to you, the following babies obviously born obese are "eating like pigs" and "ignoring their weight problems" too, right? lol

Let me do me and let them do them. Yes, I agree 100%. I would never stop people from becoming disgusting pigs, and people have the right to stuff themselves silly. I think it's wrong, but I don't think I have the right to stop them. Just like my beliefs with homosexuality and other sins. It is only on this forum where I would stay anonymous that I voice my opposition to people being complacent about being obese. In real life, I'd never share my opinion on it except with close family members or friends.

One thing you can't deny is that obesity is unhealthy. I don't think I need to say more about this.

Despite some people are more genetically prone or environmentally prone to obesity, as long as you limit how much you eat, you can avoid being fat, and that's a fact. If you can't afford to eat healthy, if you don't have time to exercise, or if you're stressed out, you can always eat less to avoid obesity.

Just because some people prefer their partner to be fat doesn't mean it's a good thing. For one thing, in the wicked world of the oyibos, some have fetishes for people with amputated limbs, does that mean people should go out of their way to amputate a limb or two?

MRbrownJAY: the fact that you believe that people are obese BY CHOICE is your FIRST mistake in this discussion. many are born obese and nothing they do can change that fact.

If they don't eat like a pig but instead control their diet and exercise, how could anyone be obese like that?

the fact that you believe that anyone should be ashamed of themselves for being obese is your SECOND mistake in this discussion. just because thats how YOU feel shouldnt be a reason for everyone to look down on such issue.

A person should feel shame if he/she is living an unhealthy life and does nothing to change it. Obesity is very unhealthy. It is also disgusting, and the Bible commands us to "not be disgusting."

the fact that you believe that all obese person let themselves go, is your FINAL mistake in this discussion.

i'd rather see an happy obese woman who is proud of herself, than a sad woman who is slim and miserable about who she is. if you are happy with who you are then fair enough, and let others be happy for who they are, whether you like it or not. is being obese a crime, or against the law now?! should we force obese people to go on diet because YOU dont like it? would you have noticed her if she wasnt obese (the reason she became famous is directly attributed to her obese size)?

Both the happy obese woman and the slim and miserable woman have serious problems. For the happy obese woman, she is ignoring her problems and shirking the responsibility to take care of herself. She is deceiving herself that all is well. This is not a healthy attitude to approach life.

BUSH MAN: i guess because nigerians do not like to pay for quality,they want quality for cheap price, this is why i quit importation to nigeria

Give the customers what they want! They want shittyy things.

igbeke: i leave in badagry which is very close 2 d border. can u believe d Beninous dont patronize anytin made in nigeria cos dey believe it is fake? yet we flood our mkt wit anytin dat comes from dere.

If the Beninese don't buy Nigerian food because they believe Nigerian food is adulterated, then they have good standards, and I would want to purchase the food they have to sell here in Nigeria. The same for Cameroon. As much as I love Nigeria as a proud Nigerian, health and safety comes first.

We need more supermarkets like Shoprite, Tesco, Sam's Club, and Carrefour here in Naija. Even the food not adulterated are sometimes sold in highly unhygienic conditions, and some are downright filthy. We as Nigerians deserve better.
