lukaku should be careful, clubs are watching n none would like to sign a player dt disrespect his coach n its team to avoid bad energy in d camp...
e tink say na only him de vex for tactics, Mk e ask cr7 during ole time bt cr7 didnt criticize him openly....dts professionalism..

You are right sir!
To be honest, CR7 is an old boy in this business, so he knows how to address such situations without attracting negative media focus.

CR7 is far experienced compared to Lukaku. Lukaku really needs to understand that these days the media can assist in completely screwing up a players career regardless of if you are right or wrong...

Well, there were two occasions for me. The first occasion was a Turkish lady in Turkey. So I speak Turkish and Turkish people, especially the ladies really love how I speak in Turkish, because I somehow have adopted a rather funny logic of expressing my self in Turkish. It's very evident when I am trying to flirt with ladies so they can't help laughing uncontrollably.

So there was this lady, really beautiful I wouldn't lie, she was tall, her hair was in-between blonde and brown (auburn), she was tall about 1.78M, full figured- like she was really curvy but not chubby, she had greenish grey eyes, and was very soft spoken... bottom line, this girl was fyyyyyne! and here's the thing, she was my colleague at school, but she was soooo head over heels for me. She loved me like mad, just like the movies , she would literally become a cat when she was around me, like rubbing all over me and being extra touchy, she would cook for me at her house and bring it to me at the slightest chance when we met, mheeeen she didn't give me breathing space when I was with her, and anything I said would send her into a fit of wild laughter.

Normally I liked the girl too because like I explained she was super hawwwt, however, I also noticed how the locals used to look at me each time I was with her and I heard some very envious side comments. On some occasions I was sternly questioned if I was dating her.
In all this, I was genuinely worried about my safety, because if her people understood she was with me, it was a potential double whammy for my case;
1- I am African
2- I am Christian
Omo I respected myself and just started avoiding her as much as possible because I didn't want any trouble of that sort. I literally changed my location because of her just so that I would be out of sight and out of mind, before wahala blew out. It worked... but she resented my guts to the last cell when I suddenly relocated.

The second lady coincidentally was still Turkish, but this was in Germany, she was a German/Turkish lady. Once again my way of speaking Turkish just gets em , although this lady was not as gorgeous as the first one, but she was still beautiful regardless.
Now I wasn't even interested in this lady even though we had very interesting conversations, but this lady "man marked" me mheeeen, hers was even borderline creepy, because she literally became a client where I worked at, just so she could see me when I went to work. Once again I wasn't interested because I couldn't deal with the drama (although in Germany the dating emphasis of Turkish people on race and religion is much lower) but my first experience left a sour taste, so I avoided her completely.

I felt sad for these ladies, because they genuinely loved me, but they couldn't just understand why I literally avoided them.

All of this is FIFA and UEFA's combined fault

Does Spending The Last Night Of The Year In A Church Service Make Any Difference?

It's about that time of the year again, when the churches across the nation usually record their highest attendance numbers of the year, during their cross over services.

The reason for the record attendance figures attained during these services, is mostly because many who rarely or never attend church services during the year, for some reason are also found inside church buildings on this particular night during the cross over services.

It appears they do so because they feel spending the last night or cross over service of the year was very important and makes a significant difference in their lives, regardless of how they spent the remaining part of the year after cross over service, even if they don't change their ways, or do any thing differently from how they used to do them.

However the truth is that just spending the last night or cross over service of any year in any church building would make no real difference in someone's life, except it is able to cause the person to change his ways and how he does things.

Moreover, if Christ were to come on the last night of the year, most of those inside the church buildings during the cross over service would still be left behind, so what's the point of just attending these last church services of the year, if one doesn't repent or turn away from his or her wicked ways?

What difference does it really make?

Nothing, but to a large extent, it proves the point of a theory, that says "We as humans are social beings"

Well one of the things I was meticulously following on Nairaland was Iginla's prophesies. I can say he was spot on by 90% ... now, it's very easy to say the remaining 10% were not accurate, but if the index of measurement is accuracy, which do we focus on? The 90% right or the 10% wrong?

Study Reference
https://www.nairaland.com/6342796/prophet-joshua-iginla-34-prophecies

can we focus on the 90% some of these men of God got right? And chuck down the 10% to them being men.

Hello Nairalanders, is it possible to japa to canada or US with 1m. I have been saving for this my japa since i have graduated. Please help me will the money be enough to get a visa. Or do you have any advice on how to go about it.

1 Million NGN is approximately 2000USD, which is really not sufficient to chase such a project I.e US education or Canadian education especially within the starting phase which would require scattered amounts of funds which buildup eventually.

My Tips:

1- You said you graduated right...good. Before you continue, I hope your CGPA was good? Because Here's the thing, contrary to the popular recommendation to apply for an MSc... I suggest you apply for a PHD instead. When you apply for a PHD and you get accepted, funding becomes less of a challenge and your Visa application becomes more robust.

However you need to put your head down for this path; A- It requires you to take two exams to give you a competitive academic edge, GRE/GMAT and IELTS (you also need very good scores), your SOP (statement of purpose) must also be drop dead brilliant and your recommendation letters need to have respectable weight.

2. Consider other Countries; sometimes you need to look wide, favourable academic opportunities also exist outside the US/Canada spectrum. For instance Europe or Australia... You need to look really wide. I once knew someone who found a very good academic opportunity in Chile (to be honest, I never knew such a place existed) I know of a guy who had a great opportunity in Russia and he is also doing well. So it really depends on how well you look, and what works for your situation. Don't be so one track minded, when it comes to Academic opportunities.

3. A lil tip about Canada not many people focus on, but it really makes a difference... You see there's this part of Canada called Quebec, that is it's own territory, with it's own universities and it's own acceptance system, if you get accepted for a Quebec regional institution, there are lots of scholarship opportunities for English native speakers who pursue a program in French. However the catch is you need to know French to a certain degree before getting accepted in Quebec institutions. The funny thing about Quebec is asides the fact that their territory has a high insritutional acceptance rate, their visa success rates seem also higher.
Look into Quebec region universities.

4. In all, 1million is really not much but you need to do your homework when it comes to schooling abroad.

Cheers!

Abeg Ministry of Finance need to come up with something for married women who have access to their husbands ATM cards and accounts.
It should be a form of fraud, or inappropriate financial access.

We re talking about real goals , how can your aspiration to be a refugee( illegal immigrant) be areal goal?

You re the reason many countries stop giving visas to Nigerians.

#Modified
I deleted my earlier reply, because when I read your post again, there was a lot of Hate, Frustration and Anger embedded in it.
Well that's sad to know.

Read my post again, I stated that my goal to wield a second passport was achieved.

Goal Achieved...

In Mortal Kombat, this is what we refer to as;

BRUTALITY

Simvan:
Please try and ignore my punctuation errors.

I have plans to study robotics after getting my bsc degree in Nigeria, and I am here to find out from those that have idea on how things go in both countries(Japan and Singapore), with regards to;
1. Cost of living.
2. Where can I get a better degree.
3. My chance of being accepted in their university.
4. My chance of getting a job after graduating.

Please if you have a better suggestions aside the two countries I gave, I am open to learning from you.

Hi there!
Responding to your questions in order of the numbering...

1: The costs of Living in both countries are very affordable, both countries have reasonable overall costs combined with the ease of Living, but it's easier to measure these costs, when viewing the general ease of living, especially accessibility to basic public services in either bigger or smaller cities. What I basically mean, is the value of what you are paying for... Japan gets the nudge on this one because everything in Japan has outright practicality, functionality and has been simplified right down to the smallest things you wouldn't even think about.(imagine getting a built in butt massager running you good, while sitting on a public toilet, I mean who thinks of that?). The system in Japan is literally 105% functional regardless of how much you are paying for in the location or size of the city you are in. #Till today, I am not sure which country has the fastest Internet, because although tech gurus say its South Korea, however the Internet speeds in Japan are outright mental.(Those who have been to Japan can attest to this fact) So spending your money on this sort of Internet service in Japan, to me, is a different kind of investment on its own

2: Getting a better degree depends on the University not the country, however Japan has more higher ranked universities as compared to Singapore. To give you context, Japan has 780 National Universities while Singapore has less than 36 (when you take out Polytechnics and advanced colleges from Singapore's mix, the number drops even lower) with this massive difference, what do you think??... so once again, Japan gets the nudge on this one.

3: In Terms of acceptance, well that has to do with your overall Merit, as prestigious Universities and programs get naturally competitive especially when scholarships are involved, however if your focus is on acceptance rates, you might want to stick to a region that has more universities offering the same discipline, so that competition is spread out evenly, which will sort of increase the acceptance rate... in this situation, because Japan has more prestigious Universities, basically more universities overall and more scholarship opportunities, Japan gets the nudge on this one.

4: Now as for getting a job, that's a different ball game. Language becomes a very big deal especially in Japan. If you can't speak Japanese, then you can as well forget about working there after your degree (However the advantage of schooling in Japan is you get Japanese Language training simultaneously). But please note, according to various language institutes, Japanese is the hardest language in the world, due to the writing system, speaking logic and accents. The case is different in Singapore though, because English is spoken to a larger extent. So Singapore gets the Nudge on this one, due to the fact that English can be spoken in formal environments.

So from your questions, Japan wins on 3.

#PLEASE TAKE NOTE
when it comes to actually travelling to Singapore, please and please endeavour to find out if as a Nigerian, you are eligible to enter Singapore on certain Visas, because I recall from previous information they have something going on with allowing Nigerian passport holders in the country on certain visa's. Please do your research and findout the situation on that regard, especially if you choose Singapore eventually.

I am in a relationship with a girl I'm planning to get married to. I love her and we vibe together and play most times. From my own assessment, she is good, down to earth, knows how to cook, humble, respectful, and she is also very beautiful naturally, infact she passed 70% quality of the kind of woman I want in my life.

The problem is that I'm not attracted to her sexually. She has a small body, and doesn't have nyash or should I say small nyash (sorry for the offensive word). I'm not aroused if I'm with her. I can manage to have sex with her just once, even if she will stay five days with me, and I know this gives her concern.

I like ladies with backside, height and chubby. but the ones I have come across doesn't even measure up to this my girl in character.

Does sex Matter so much in marriage? Cos I'm afraid I may cheat on her or get sexual satisfaction outside our marriage. I'm just confused right now.

Sir, we are stepping into 2022... Since you have determined early that there is;
1- No sexual Chemistry
2- No physical Attraction
3- No Spark

Please call it off and set the poor lady free... it might hurt, but you are saving colossal problems later.

Marry who asides everything, you are sexually attracted to, you have the sexual compatibility and Attraction for and most importantly, marry who gives you sparks .... especially if you are that kind of person who thrives on those qualities.

Harnty, that is completely your cup of beans...

If you have the mind/Cojones for the adventure of your life... if you truly know what's strong with you, Then go for it!!

New Zealand is like nothing you have ever experienced... if you love the most serene, extreme, enchanting and outlandish landscape sceneries the Earth has to offer, then New Zealand is for you.

However, after the wickedly breathtaking scenes, it stops there ...
New Zealand is quite expensive, distant from the rest of the world, unique, a bit bizarre... sorry, not a bit, an extremely bizarre and unusual country with strange lifestyles. Yes there are Earthquakes and occasionally volcanic activity- brace yourself.

Even spoken English sounds strange...
"Rattle ya dags, I'm Knackered up wop wops" trust me, that sentence has a completely sensible meaning if you are in New Zealand. As if that's not enough Say "Kia ora" to another language of New Zealand "Maori". Don't worry, despite the Island-like flare, traditions and customs, New Zealand is sooooo peaceful... Peaceful to the point where its very boring. Even the people are boring, yes oooo! No Dorime. (Then again, boring is subjective).

Yes, you will be completely cutout from Nigeria (Flights to certain destinations are not just very expensive, but very rare to book)... hence, prepare to be an "Alien" to your own country for a loooooong while. While in that "Alien" state, learn how to do a "Haka" ritual with your adopted group of friends... The passion and intensity behind "The Haka" is super cool and scary at the same time.

Lastly folks who go to New Zealand always get absorbed into the strangeness and bizarrely strange enchanting Island, such that they fall in love with the strange, spectacular, breathtaking sights and lifestyles of the country and call it home away from home...

Naaaah I'm kidding, they escape to Australia to restart life again, after a while of dealing with numbing Strangeness in hobbit land

Never mind...

adetayoonas:
Ahmed Musa, Daniel Akpeyi, Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi should not be found on that list.

Okocha should stop pushing his cousin or nephew Alex iwobi

Iwobi is such a disgrace and not fit for the national team always passing the ball backwards. No play time in Everton. He is worst.

Garba Shehu and uzoho always play regularly for the first team in Cyprus which is good. I prefer them in first 11 compared to those who don't have regular playing time

Taiwo awoniyi, Aribo, ndidi, uzoho, garba Shehu are good in first 11

So who can play Iwobi's role??

Won't people leave Messi and CR7 alone? Tchai

Aaaah... Journey on great Papa, Journey on...

Who be this poster sef?

Amotolongbo:
Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi should not be found on that list.

What position does Alex Iwobi play in (Keep it in mind, he is left footed)?
If you can answer this question correctly, then you will know why Alex Iwobi is the third most important player on that SE list.

The only player I have serious questions about, is Ahmed Musa (I can name 3 players on the squad who can do what he does, even better)...

As for Ighalo, I understand why he is important. The current super eagles squad has no true 9 except Ighalo, who is a true 9.

If you look at heat maps of True 9's, they are very comfortable receiving passes in the middle of the feild, and playing with their back to goal. All the players we have now, are more comfortable operating from the flanks and carrying to the middle (with the exception of Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi who can do that, but are not actual 9's)

If you love football Analysis, I'd encourage you to Google heat maps of all super eagles players, the stats will shock you.

I compared heat maps between Odion Ighalo during his last complete season in China and Oshimen's heat map from 2019/20 season.
Ighalo received 93% of passes in the opposition penalty area, while Oshimen is a 50% case of moving from the right flank to attack (he is fast and physical, so he can easily do it) however as a predator in the box, it's a 40% affair. Oshimen is most dangerous when he drives into the box, than operating as a fox in the box (which is what a true 9 is).

This shows Ighalo is the more natural 9. The main reason he was brought to Manchester United.

Research yourself

When will Baba collect na??

gentleguy1975:
Good afternoon, nairalanders,

Met this lady some months ago, and I like everything about her, but, the problem is her genotype status which is ss, should I go ahead and marry her? please help a brother

Thanks

Please Do! If you love her, if you guys click and if the feeling is mutual then marry her ASAP!
But two important pieces of advice;

1- Ignore any "Prophet/Alfa/Elder" that warns you not to Marry her

2- Try your best, with every ounce of energy and leave Nigeria with her, to any country with a responsible medical sector.

If you follow those two instructions, oga you will be fine.

Small nyash dey shake...

Gadiola2:
I'm in my early 20's, and I can't relate to girls......I always have this negative feeling whenever i'm around them, sometimes I think that I might not really know what to say to start a conversation.....most of the times i start a conversation and don't know how to conclude it.

It has really affected me socially, especially in the school community, some of my guys could just be talking to a group of girls, and if I show up i won't even be able to stare at them for a few seconds, I will just disappear and find one isolated place to stay.

I know people will tell me to concentrate on my studies or make money but it's not all about that...... your social life also matters.
I don't know how to explain my situation better than this ...Abeg i need help

I was worse than you... until I realised that talking to a lady is the easiest thing to do, because mostly, they are naturally wired to talk.

Abeg I need your help, the only help I need from is connection to travel out of this country and my favourite destination is USA.
Right now I get N1.2m with me, if you can connect me to sure link that will help me out to travel out. I have tried several times, those travel agents out the duped a lot have wasted a lot of money, but I don’t know went through my mind to contact you if you get sure link for me to travel out to USA (For Non appearance)
Am your die hand fans Here in Lagos, meanwhile I get friends there I can stay with if you favour my request.

Thank You, God bless you

Look man, I Have to be real with you...
Unlike many countries, the US is not a country any agent can assist you in obtaining a visa, it does not just work that way.

So anybody/agent who tells you that they can assist you on that regard is 100% a scam. Nobody can help you with a US visa. Why? Because you need to be interviewed one on one at a the US embassy and no degree of paperwork/documents can help you if your reason is not feasible.

So stop advertising how much you have for US visa assistance because you are only attracting scam artists to yourself.

The yarn be say, non appearance visa map no dey for US matter, no be so e dey work. If pesin tok say im fit run am for you, na big lie be that, infact sef na scam. Even if you marry Yankee babe, dem get still do one on one interview for visa.
