blueto:
Rohr has categorically “stated” that Enyeama will be returning to the team before the world cup and he would have probably made the squad for the Cameroonian tie if not of the injury he suffered and just recuperated from. Reports also depicts that he has agreed to cede capitancy to mikel. so for now, I see no justifiable reason if Enyeama and Ikeme are included in the world cup squad along with Akpeyi should in case Nigeria qualifies by God's grace.
Wow

Enyeama's return and that of Ikeme would give Rohr a massive headache on whom to pencil down for the World Cup. It will be a shame to see the likes of Emmanuel Daniel or Ezenwa left off the team.

What happens to such passport holders when they travel to countries that do not recognize gender-neutral passports?
Travel › Canada Introduces ‘X’ As A Third Sex Category For Passport Holders by PDPGuy(op): 4:56pm On Aug 26, 2017
Starting Thursday, Canadians will have a new way to identify their sex on passports and other government documents: “X” will join the options of male and female.

The decision to allow the third category, indicating an “unspecified” sex, is intended to protect the rights of Canadians to identify by the gender of their choice, the country’s immigration department said in announcing the change. Ahmed Hussen, the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, said in a statement that the designation was added to advance “equality for all Canadians regardless of gender identity or expression.”

The move is part of a broader push to embrace nontraditional forms of gender expression. In November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed a special adviser to coordinate government efforts to promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. A law passed in June amended the Human Rights Act to include nondiscrimination protections for gender identity and gender expression.

Canada is not alone. At least eight other countries offer a third option on passports or national identification cards, according to Lambda Legal, a nonprofit that promotes the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people. Those countries are: Australia, Bangladesh, Germany, India, Malta, Nepal, New Zealand and Pakistan. The group is suing the United States State Department on behalf of a client who identifies as neither male nor female and is therefore unable to accurately complete a passport application.

Last year, a judge in Oregon granted a petition allowing Jamie Shupe of Portland, a retired Army sergeant, to identify as neither sex and instead be classified as nonbinary. At the time, experts described the ruling as groundbreaking. In June, Washington, D.C., added a gender-neutral identifier to drivers’ licenses and identification cards, and in July, Oregon began allowing residents to mark their sex on driver’s licenses as “not specified.”

Car Talk › Electric Cars To Be Introduced Into Nigerian Market By 2018 by PDPGuy(op): 2:24am On Aug 26, 2017
Nigus Enfinity, an indigenous firm, says it will introduce electric vehicles into the Nigerian automobile market in 2018 and that its local assembly plant for electric vehicles will be ready in 2020.

Malik Ado-Ibrahim, chairman of the company, made this known to journalists in an interactive session which held in Abuja on Thursday.

Ado-Ibrahim said several countries across the world have set targets for the ban of petrol-fuelled vehicles with India targeting 2030, and the United Kingdom, 2040.

He said Nigeria and Africa need to look inward to be at the fore of the automotive revolution or risk becoming waste bin for banned vehicles from other countries.

Ado-Ibrahim, who was the first African to lead the Formula 1 Team global race car competition in 1999, said his firm is already building a 100 megawatts (mw) solar power plant in Katsina and another in Adamawa state.

According to him, the company has also partnered with Build Your Dreams, a Chinese firm, to import electric vehicles at affordable costs from 2018.

“We are also working with BYD to get a local brand and start an electric vehicle assembly plant for Nigeria from 2020. Gradually we will move to an EV with the African DNA starting in Nigeria,” he said.

In June, Elon Musk had unveiled the world’s cheapest electric car, which was priced at N11 million.

safarigirl:
I want to say I am surprised by the way some people on this thread reason, but I won't say that because I am not.

First of all, they could win us...on both legs? No....on one? Yes. Could we win them? Yes, so I don't know why you people are being pessimistic. Haba! You think the Camrroonians didn't see our list and think similarly? Was the Algerian list as at last year not more intimidating? The way some of us seem to have lost faith in these boys is disturbing. Hian! I can't even talk too much about it because it's even annoying me as I'm reading some posts here.....lemme move on....


Some others think some players are living in past glory (I won't address the uncle that mentioned Mikel), while the likes of Musa and M.Simon and indeed Akpeyi, may not be names many of us want to see on the list, we must realise that the game at hand determines the invitees.


You cannot call up four to five new players for a crunch match like this. It is not possible. You call up the guys who have bonded over the span of at least four matches. Musa and Simon have solid experience with this team, so they will trump other fringe players for this game, it's a given. It is foolhardy to think that the likes of Onyekuru will be called up to play Cameroon when they haved not built any on field chemistry with anybody else.


Like someone said, these players will be phased out with time, I do not expect to see either of these guys in our NT come next year, however, they are a necessary evil for now. So, just suck it up and hope for the best.....

And stop berating our players, they are just as good as the Cameroonians.
If Nigeria qualifies for next year's world cup, expect Akpeyi and Musa to be part of the team. I reckon that it will be only injury that would prevent both players from making the trip to Russia. If Ikeme recovers from leukemia before the world cup, he will be part of the final 23 to Russia too. Something tells me that Rohr won't discard Akpeyi just like that.

The reason why it looks easier to pass American school exams is that the professors get promoted (or get pay raises) if a majority of their students pass their classes with a C, B, or A grade.
If most of the students get Ds and Fs, that professor may be in danger of either not being promoted (to, say, head of department), or even laid off. So, it is always in the best interests of the professor to ensure that most his/her students pass the class.

Mali doing their thing though, 27-39, Half- Time.
The Malian defense have done well to limit Egypt to 27 first half points. The hosts do not score a ton of baskets but they sure won't let you have easy shots either.

D'Tigress may have to rely more on 3-point shots and drawing fouls in the paint in order to breach the Malian defense

Mozambique is trashing Angola. That is the 4th team from our group knocking out the 1st team from the other group.

Mali vs Egypt might just be a lot more competitive than we thought.
Absolutely! Mozambique are about to pull the shock of the tournament!!
