haymekus: I knew this our coach was a very stupid man when he told Barcelona board to sign paulinho for €40M, even matuidi was bought for €25M and seri is abt to sold for around £30M
I would have preferred Tottenham coach to this slowpoke tho
Since they could not get Paulo Dybala and Coutinho, they decided to get a hybrid Paulinho
Has there been a more balanced and deeper squad than this Madrid team? Barca sold only Neymar while Real Madrid still very solid after selling Rodriguez, Morata, and Danilo without any marquee signing.
louqas: Nobody wants to do any comparison, my aim was to derail the thread because thats what you all are fond of doing. When an educating piece is put up on nairaland , the next thing is for you to start reading ethnic and religious meaning to it....... the thread wasn't created to celebrate Nnewi but in furtherance of the ongoing "silent" war of superiority between the Igbos and other nigerians especially the Yoruba and Hausa....... because everyone knows Nnewi is home of billionaires so what'the need for it?
I know why you all are so intent of making everyone believe (and those who don't want to peacefully will be forced , intimidated and harassed to ) that the east has something to offer ......... its because you have failed in all aspect of human endeavour and have little brain compared to those you hate so much...... in other words....INFEINFERIORITY COMPLEX. that is the greatest problem of the igbo man.
Your write up is fully of assumptions and hasty generalizations. It's sad to see people who do not know they suffer from the same sicknesses they accuse others of
louqas: Ignoramus take correction there's no poly called oshogbo poly at least in the past 8 years ...... to cure your ignorance I will mention a few
mike Adebola Kensington adebutu subomi balogun buruji kashamu gbenga daniel
There were no comparisons here. The thread was created to celebrate Nnewi. But since you've decided to make comparisons, don't mention a few. If you want to support your claims mention at least eleven
Lyoncrescent: I just have simple questions. Prior to the 1966 coup that led to the death of Sarduana and Tafa Balewa, Was there ever any incident of Northern Agression against igbos or yorubas or any other tribe recorded in History ?
Is it true or is it a lie that there is a video online where Nzeogwu talks proudly about how he killed Sarduana?
Even Sarduana had issues with igbos which was againist the so called national conscience independence fighters of nigeria had.
Is it a bloody lie that songs existed on how the igbos were taunting northerners after the coup and pictures even existed ?
Why didnt Ironsi kill the coup plotters?
Akintola(Premier of western region) Died in the coup. Fajuyi(first military governor of the former Western Region, Nigeria) died in the counter coup.
All in All, The no Victor no Vanquished speech was not what we needed. Wounds of the first 1966 coup havent healed. Northerners are still bitter. We need a truth and reconciliation panel like the oputa panel kind of thing before we can even talk of secession or restructuring.
I support the biafran movement for one simple reason;for the next 100 years, none of the 19 northern states will ever vote an igbo man or woman as president however we need to discuss the war and its causes and the way forward . I dont think igbos and northerners ever had issues in recorded history prior to the killing of Tafa Balewa and Sarduana by igbo led officers and ironsi didnt take decisive action
Slymonster: Why would conte use the keeper for the second kick....Anyway the style of penalty isn't sweet like the other.. I hope the pressure doesn't make morata behave like torres and skenchenko. English media will torment him.
e be like say Courtois think say na goal kick him wan play
Sapiosexuality: Yeah, Figo did. Bale is just there. Average. Running past Batra to give Madrid the Cops Del Rey is something anyone can do. Bartra is not even an average defender.
Far from average. If it's something anyone can do name another average player that has done it. Secondly, his stats speak for him: 150 games for Real Madrid, 36 assists & 67 goals (as a winger). If this is average then virtually all footballers are average. Thirdly, average players do not inspire average teams to the semis of a Euros.
happney65: You must have taken the same igbo seun kuti took tonight for him to upload the nonesense he uploaded on FB tonight..Who the fuckkkk is nathaniel bassey to simi..I knew him when they started their yeye 30days prayer session on social media..comparing this dude to simi is like comparing Harrysong to Dbanj..Nathaniel koo,Danny Young nii..
I'll take you seriously when Simi has a song on Youtube that has at least 14 million views.
Holuwahphemy: A Christ Apostolic Church member like me would know how prayer is not something we take for granted If you are the type that doesn't know how to close your eyes during prayers, and happened to drop by one revival at a C. A. C. branch, the moment you here something like; "the angels of God have descended and are walking amidst us... Please this is not the time to play or open your eyes... (then u'll hear the pastor tell a short story about how a man opened his eyes during a prayer session and got blinded by an angel) Shout! And call the name of the lord... Say 'lord! what is that ancient curse placed against our generations to stagnate our progress' ? Be destroyed by fire and thunder!" you wouldn't even dare opening your eyes... Even after hearing the bell and "in Jesus name we pray" you would still close your eyes and be wondering if it is safe to open them yet. But in the holy scriptures though- Matthew chapter 6 verse 9 to 13, Jesus taught us a short and simple way to pray- 'The Lord's prayer' My question now is; what if all i say everytime i needed to pray is the Lord's prayer, does that mean i've suceeded in praying for things i needed all round? For instance, my landlord is treating me badly and i wanted to ask God to change this, is saying the Lord's going to change his attitude?
Thanks for your meaningful responses.
God is a person and you are a person. Imagine every time I spoke to you I said the same things. How weird would that be? Christianity is a relationship. Hence, prayer should not be mechanical.
Arsenal have agreed to pay £6.8million for Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru though the player has yet to agree personal terms.
The 19-year-old is away on international duty with Nigeria after being called up for their friendly matches against Corsica and Togo.
Anderlecht and Club Brugge have also matched the offer for Onyekuru though the player is keen to come to England.
The Gunners have acted quickly following Arsene Wenger's instruction to conduct his transfer business in swift fashion this summer.
The concern has been whether he would get a work permit while the teenager also wants to join a club where he will play regularly and develop.
Swansea City, Brighton and West Ham have also discussed him in the past week.
Onyekuru has his pick of a number of suitors after some dazzling displays, albeit in a weaker league.
Celtic are also mulling over an offer for the Nigerian who has scored 24 goals this season and provided 14 assists.
The goal-scoring winger has previously spoken of his desire to test himself in the Premier League but has plenty of options.
Eupen have bids from Anderlecht and Club Brugge while the exhaustive list of clubs to have made other offers includes Arsenal, Red Bull Leipzig, Schalke, Borussia Dortmund, Monchengladbach, Lyon, Lille, Monaco, Nice, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Roma.
Wenger does not have a Master's degree in Economics for nothing. He sure knows how to buy 'em cheap. His style of play reminds me of a certain Henry that played for Arsenal. If his career is half as good as that of his namesake I'll be glad.
If this name doesn't ring a bell then See video below to watch this exciting Nigerian
Shelloween: N'golo is a great player but, have you ever wondered why Iniesta or Xavi never won the Ballon d'or? Are they not the Midfield gods? Why is it that Messi won many times and they didn't even win it once? Are they not the ones assissting most of Messi's goals? Strikers win the awards.... Midfielders get a nomination.
Please say what you know. Messi has been hands down the best player in Barcelona for a decade. When it comes to assists, Messi has more assists for Barcelona than Xavi and Iniesta combined. And it's not true they assisted most of Messi's goals.

ethene: it's over 30 years u divorced her mother, ur daughter was small when u divorced her mother and ur daughter is twenty something years old. Am I the only one that noticed this incoherent statement?
Alikote: exportable learnt to comprehend English.who told anything above 2.2 million will be reserved for local local is 400,000 barrel which is part of any production by NPDC which has been swapped for refined product with vitol and transfuga and other if you dont know bent crude was 27 dollar last year so need to talk to you or prove anything to you guess NEPA is already doing that with black out...and Forex scarcity induced inflation is hurting your ass that enough prove
Learn to read in between the lines. I said average price. I'm sure you know what average means. Of course, I know brent crude fell to $27.36 (Jan 19, 2016). This happened briefly in January 2016 after which it rose until it peaked at $57.19 (Dec 30, 2016). You can neither use the lowest price nor the highest price to do a calculation for the year in question. You'll have to use the average.
