Dahjhi:you don't need to go to the embassy for your certification. And going to the embassy doesn't make the certification more authentic than the one you do elsewhere, infact it doesn't boost your chances. All they need to know is if what you are sending is a true copy of the original. That's all. I did mine in an high court in ife for 100# per page and I was admitted to all the schools in germany that I applied. So best of luck to u bro |
Sports / Remember The Nigeria Vs India Match? by Oye50(m): 7:53am On May 04, 2015 |
Virtually everybody born before the invention of the internet must have heard the tale of a nonexistent football match between Nigeria and India that obviously took place in a parallel universe and somehow we got to hear the gory stories of that match. Though there are many variations of the story, every prevaricator seems to agree on a couple of facts about this fictional football match. Each storyteller agrees that; 1. This match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal. 2. Nigerians where unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning to a lion (or something scary) to prevent them from playing the soccer ball. 3. The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they would concede defeat 4. Samuel Okwaraji scored the winning goal and lost his life in the process. 5. FIFA banned India from soccer because they used black magic in that very game With the help of common sense (not that it was absent back then), quick access to information and the internet, every right thinking Nigerian has come to realize that such a story should be filled under “Blatant Lies”. Why Did This Story Thrive For So Long? Most people like to pass off this story as true with the fact that no one has ever seen India in an International Football Match. Since no one actually saw India participate in most international soccer games, this gave a little credence to the story. India Another reason this lie could thrive for long was the fact that credible information was not readily available at our finger tips. It not like every Emeka, Audu and Ojo could visit Google in a matter of minutes and tell our ominous fabricators that they should stop spreading toxic lies. And to be honest we have a tingling feeling that this lie was concocted by an elder of a community because, let’s be honest who questions the words of the elders in Nigeria. Remember, what an adult sees sitting down a child will never see even if he consults Google, Siri or Cortana. The Element of Truth In This Story On the 12th of August 1989, Nigeria lost Sam Okwaraji. Sam Okwaraji was the player rumored to have lost his life in that game when in truth he died during a FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Angola in the 77th minute. He collapsed and died of cognitive heart failure. May his soul rest in Perfect Peace. AMEN So that is the only truthful thing about that story, the fact that a Nigerian player died during a football match. That’s it. The match was not against India, we did not lose the match and as you must have guessed, and there were no lions either. What Is The Deal With India Anyway? India qualified for the 1950 FIFA world cup as a result of the withdrawal of their scheduled opponents. But the Indian football governing body, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) decided against going to the world cup, being unable to understand the importance of the event at that time. Some of the Reasons shown by the AIFF included the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issued and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World cup. It should be noted that FIFA agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses, but it did not really help their decision making. Was India Banned For Refusing To Play Barefoot? No. The 1948 London Olympics was India’s first major international tournament, where a predominantly barefoot Indian team lost 2 -1 to France. Following the 1948 Olympics FIFA imposed a rule banning barefoot play. The belief that the Indian team refused to play because they were not allowed to play barefoot is not entirely true according to the then team captain who said it was just a story to cover the disastrous decision of the AFIF. After the 1950 fiasco, India has never come close to qualifying for the World Cup. The reason you do not see India in World Cup competitions is because they do not qualify So Does The Indian Team Wear Soccer Boots? Yes. In the 1952 Olympics, the Indian team lost 10 – 1 to Yugoslavia (talking about taking a beating). As a result of this magnanimous defeat the AIFF made it compulsory for its team members to wear boots Is it Possible to win a match with a 99 – 1 match margin? Yes. It is absolutely possible to rake 99 – 1 from a single football match. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see how this is even possible. Now allow us to digress. The highest scoring soccer game was 149-0! You’re probably wondering how a soccer team could be so bad that they let 149 goals be scored, but the truth is it was a form of protest. The event occurred in 2002 after a 2-2 draw between rival teams Stade Olympique de L’emyrne, or SOE, and AS Adema of Madagascar, which resulted in the referees awarding a penalty causing SOE to lose the game. During a match fixing debacle in Nigeria, the Feeders scored 72 of their 79-0 victory in 45 minutes of play. Police Machine scored 61 of their 67-0 victory in the second half. At one point, they scored four goals in a minute. Arbroath won Bon Accord 36 – 0 in 1885. It held the largest margin of victory in professional football where both sides wanted to win. So, yes, given the “right circumstances”, a team could actually receive 99 – 1 beating without any black magic whatsoever.

Lemme analyze your stupidity to you You accusing guys in the first place shows how little your thinking is, also it shows that women can take you for a ride or even think they are doing you a damn favor by dating u, when u are worthless in your own sight. Also, blaming any gender is way silly. I've got many things to do and I blame myself for entering into this shit with a baby like you. Also, you claiming all those rubbish about SA, how's that men's fault. Why are you just this foolish. Haba |

I finally said to myself, that I've got so much a potential to live life that way. The best way to prove to an uncaring father is by making it with your own sweat. Besides I'm personally doing fine. At least, I can boast of having over a million all by myself so I practically don't need to do that to be so great in life. In the nearest future I can come boldly to him and say, I made it with or without your support. I initially got pissed with his attitude but my conscience won't allow me. Thanks everyone for your contributions |

Richy4:I think you've got a point, in as much as I would just look at the other way and act as though he's a poor man. It hurts to see ones father being in a positing to take you out of struggle but he's turning deaf ears, rather he's spending somewhere else. I know the Bible too, so don't compare this to the prodigal son. According to that story, the child may have been too demanding. We haven't demanded anything outrageous from him. I bet you if you were in my shoes, you wouldn't think my decision twice. My perspective to life is, the hurdles a father a scaled through in life, the children automatically overcome such. Do you know what it feels like associating with a rich man and pretending he's poor, and to make matters worse he's your dad. Everyone sees you as the most ok dude in town, yet you hustle for everything you've got yourself. I'll think about your point but I hope you get mine as well |

I need to add, he's a polygamist. All these came up cos he had his latest wife about 8 years ago. All the kids (3) lives in Holland (place of birth) and we in Nigeria (6), he care less about us. We finally felt we've served him enough. Though we are educated but we feel this is an avenue to take our share of him Cos right now the woman in Holland who is also a Nigerian own him now [my personal thought) |

I've got a dad who is stingy giving out money. He's not broke, he's Infact a millionaire. Anything apart from cash relating to school isn't his business. myself and the eldest son help him out with his business activities even when he's out of the country. No matter the business plan you present to him (our dad) or anything that could be of help to you and make u prosper on a long run that involves him bringing out cash, which we all know he's more than capable, he'll say he doesn't have money. The question now is, we have planned to get our share by getting away with some millions on the next business we're to help him with. I've been thinking day and night if it's a cool thing to do. Don't come and abuse me or tell me I'm a this or that cos u may not understand it well enough. I'm not wayward, he trusts me cos I've neva taken his kobo but it's just getting crazy by the day. I just want to hear u guys talk. Thanks |
