EducationRe: How Do I Boost My Memory Capacity And Reading Hours Time by Philosopher1979: 9:15am On Aug 19, 2023
MAVICK2000:
Pls, i need advise(s) on memory capacity and reading hours, i am quiet brillant but i find it hard to read an recall what i read even if i do intensive reading, i still forget most of what i read it like my brain doesn't store, and even after rercusion it still same. Pls s there a way to solve my problem because my exams is drawing near and i have few weeks left
This is my suggestion

1. When you read jot down what you have read
2. You then read what you have jotted down
3. When you read, you revise that is you can read a topic 2 or 3 times. Repition aids memory

Then he comes to afcon and can’t implement what he learned and factory reset back to jam body football 😂
He will improve under a guardiola lie coach. After all that is what he does for a living.
Yoruba says n kan ti eyan fin jeun.
Football puts a roof over his head and food on his table so why wont he improve
when he gets a good teacher.
One season in leicester will turn him into a technical player.
If he doesn't improve with all that then it his fault

When we were Iamenting that Ndidi was limited, you all thought it was enough to just rake up stats on tackles and interceptions.
The present coach of leicester is a tiki taka guardiola disciple. It is better he stays ther and learn how to pass with technicality. The coach is playing him and he is improving.
Its actually a blessing in disguise.

StUriah:
Same here. I studied Philosophy too at OAU.

Today, I manage Medical facilities because of my managerial skills and experiences. Forget about job satisfaction when you are not lecturing or self employed. Philosophy as a discipline can only empowered you thinking faculty but in Nigeria, it doesn't have market value outside the citadel of learning. Best bet is to go for Managerial Psychology, MBA, Forensic and Criminology, Cinematography, Information Management courses at the Masters level if you want to make a difference in your choice of careers.
The funny thing is that we need philosophy badly in Nigeria but we are not aware
boko haram is a philosophical issue.
suicide (which is now common) has philosphical undertones. What is happiness? Why did God bring me into the world to suffer
Sexual liberality and the fall of marriage and the rise of single mothers.
Even big brother Africa is a philosophical movement
in a religious society such as ours we badly need philosophy.
e.g we believe in money rituals. is it superstition or what??
What is education? why do we go to school? what is God? what is African culture?
why are we backward? why do we have bad leaders?... and many more
philosophy answers and solves many problems.
but we are not aware of it

ABOUT PAUL ONUACHU

The coaches of Southampton are guardiola disciples.
Paul Onuachu is too limited for possession football.
he cant pass to save his life and so he is practically non-existent there.
Onuachu is too limited for most coaches and modern football
but can still suceed in a top 5 league with a coach who just understands his limitations
Anyway, he is on his way back to Genk where they understand him

Women go to the gym nowadays to sexualize themselves, yet they still blame any man that takes a glance at them for being a pervert or creep, record him or take his pic and post on social media so the world can mock him.
Women are not people you take seriously. They are just meer jokers and pretenders.
To be honest some women enjoy sexualizing themselves. They are all over instagram, onlyfans night clubs etc
They enjoy the attention it generates and how it makes them feel beautiful.
They are not really logical people.
It is the conservative nature of our society that hides their funny nature.
As the Nigerian society is getting more liberal the funny nature of women is becoming obvious.
In the western world they are allready showcasing how dysfunctional and terrible they can be

He is more of nobody! He is Gift Orban! He scores free kicks too
What i am trying to say is that he is not an out and out centre forward like Haaland.
He can easily play on the wings and as a supporting striker.
He can do a lot of things and create chances for himself.
That is what i observed from what i saw of him.
There was a time he even tried to score from midfield and the ball hit the bar.
As a result, a lot of teams will be interested as he can slot in as a wing forward or whatever.
Whoever is our coach should take note and use him appropiately.

WHY IT MAY BE BETTER FOR NDIDI TO STAY IN LEICESTER

Ndidi might be better off staying in leicester because
THEIR NEW COACH IS A TIKI TAKA POSSESSION FOOTBALL COACH. HE IS ONE OF GUARDIOLAS ASSISTANTS
AS A RESULT, HE IS FORCING NDIDI TO PLAY TECHNICAL FOOTBALL PASS AND ATTACK WITH THE BALL
IN FACT, HE IS NOW PLAYING HIM AS A BOX TO BOX MIDFIELDER
THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN MISSING ABOUT NDIDI'S GAME AND WHY HE IS NOT IN A BIG CLUB
HE NEEDS SOMEWHERE WHERE HE CAN LEARN THE BASICS
IF HE CAN SPEND A SEASON LEARNING HOW TO BE TECHNICALLY ASTUTE THEN HE CAN MOVE TO
A BIGGER CLUB BUT HE MAY HAVE TO STOOP TO CONQUER

AS PER IHEANACHO THE COACH PREFERS HIM BECAUSE HE SUITS A POSSESION PLAYING TEAM
HE IS PREFERRED AHEAD OF VARDY FOR TACTICAL REASONS
THE COACH LIKES HOW HE MOVES BACK IN MIDFIELD AND DRAGS THE CENTER BACKS OUT OR POSITION
I HAVE ALLWAYS FELT IHEANACHO WILL DO WELL IN AN AVERAGE TEAM IN A TECHNICAL LEAGUE/TEAM THAT
PLAYS TECHNICAL FOOTBALL.
TEAMS LIKE CELTA VIGO, PARM ETC IN ITALY OR SPAIN.

AS PER NDIDI
IF HE STAYS HE HAS TO LEARN!!! LEARN!!! AND BECOME MORE TECHNICAL
IF NOT THE NEXT ONE YEAR WILL BE WASTED

TheLoneCitizen:
Why?
We might loose Gift Orban to Togo because of NFF irresponsibility and bias.
The only reason he might not play for Togo is the fact that Togo cannot achieve much in international football.
Togo is just an ekuke team with nothing much.
Its better we invite him to play our next competitive match and field him even if it is for a minute
A player like this might end up in bayern, barcelona, chelsea in the next 3 to 5 years.
He can play as a winger or anything in the team.
We have to act fast before we loose him to Togo

Amokachi and Siasia can never be compared to great king Kanu

Kanu was the black Dennis Bergkamp
This is an excerpt from Afcon 2006 Nigeria vs Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe coach says Kanu's a "wizard"

We had a good first half, but when Kanu came in on resumption, things changed and in the course of about five minutes of madness, my defence line caved in. I think Kanu is a phenomenon in the Nigerian team. I will call him a wizard," Mhlauri remarked.

Port Said, Egypt (PANA) - Coach Charles Mhlauri of Zimbabwe has attributed his team's 2-0 loss Friday to the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the entry in the match of striker Nwankwo Kanu in the second half.
the Zimbabwean coach noted that if Kanu had not been introduced in the match, the 'Warriors' of Zimbabwe had 'enough weapon to hold the Eagles'.

https://coupedafrique.winoo.com/Africancup2006/index.cfm/md/11/id/1641/Zimbabwe_coach_says_Kanu_s_a_wizard__ACN_2006_.cfm

And this was when kanu was on a decliine
10 minutes of Kanu can change a match.

TheGoodJoe:

Kanu Nwankwo brought far more to the team than goals. That is why he was key and regular. His operation of deep and bringing the other forward players into game was a prime tactical strength of the team. That was why he played for the likes of Ajax when they were winning Champions League and reached the finals and Arsenal in their most dominant time.

The goals of Siasia and Amokachi never got them close to such level or recognition.
in afcon 2000 he had a hattrick of assists against Tunisia.
His ability in midfield was the only thing that kept us going
from 2006 to 2010.
In the period we will play rubbish and kanu will come in and change the game from midfield
I remember our matches against senegal and zimbabwe in afcon 2006, 2008 or 2010
i can remember.
He was a magician who changed the game from midfield.
Kanu trumps amokachi and siasia in his ability to control the midfield and create chances.
He simply was more of a midfielder was more creative, could play possesion football
and made life easier for our forwards

The team lost to a ten man Italian team cos Amokachi and amuneke did not have adequate replacement. Even Yekini does not have a great substitute. Rest this talk guy man cos you were not even alive then. Name calling Kanu shows you know nothing about that team. Even Bulgaria that we defeated got to the semi finals. That team failed. Simple.
What i dont like about that generation is that they were underachievers. Tge france 98 team was more talented than the morocan team if the 2022 world cup but the moroccan team got better results. Indiscipline killed tgat generation. They failed Africa
Secondly we cant keep living in the past. We have gifted players now. Daniel daga and akinsanmiro are commjng up.
In fact danuel daga at 16 is wannted by Liverpool ac milan etc

The problem is our ruling party ANC, it's very corrupt... The Eskom CEO even had to resign earlier this year after he made some allegations about some top ANC members being behind the Eskom corruption resulting in the power cuts.

Shortly after that, he resigned and left SA... My guess is that his life was under a threat by the ANC.
If the anc is dominated by blacks as i guesd it will only make white people asert that blacks cannot rule and if they rule it will lead to retrogression and underdevelopment

ONE OF THE SOLUTiONS TO OUR MiDFiELD PROBLEMS iS KELECHI NWAKALI

A veritable solution to our midfield problems is nwaali
People who hate him are somwhat bias and illogical.
We simply dont have many options.
i am only been logical
1. We have fantastic forwards
2. We lac creative midfielders apart from iwobi
3. Nwaali addition will boost the creativity of our midfield
4. logically speaking we could have qualified for the world cup if he played against Ghana.
5. Again with logic if he plays in the next nations cup we might win it.
why?
his ability to dominate the midfield will mae us win matches.
Cant you see we have the best attac in Africa?
with him in our midfield there is no one that can defeat us in African football
We will beat sengal mali egypt morocco etc
to see how good he is let Nigeria play Morocco and put him in midfield
i am confident that he can collect the midfield from Arambat and all these moroccan midfielders
God has given us a solution to our problems but we despise him and we will suffer for it if we dont appreciate him
He is and can be our secret weapon but
A lot of people here dislie him for no logical reason.
Time will prove them wrong

Ol boy make he go collect im share o. The Saudi largesse won't last forever. Remember when it was China. Because he played in Saudi doesn't mean he won't be able to get back to Europe jare. Afterall Ighalo got into Man Utd from China.
He should wait till he is 31 before going to collect his money.
He is on the verge of maing history.
If he goes now it will be hard to come back as he may be too expensive for
most european clubs. A club may need 200 million to buy him back.
Let him fulfil his destiny for another 7 years before going.
These money leagues will always be there.
if it is not saudi arabia today it is usa or china tommorow.
Even south america may attract investors soon
Let him stay and break any record.
Besides his level may go down if he heads for saudi.
He should just stay in Europe and go and get his money when he is 31 or 32

Great things has always been happening.

But does it reflect when they play for Super Eagles ? undecided
One day a good coach will figure this out put one and one together and product a great team
that will do wonders.
By the way i was reading an analysis of Raphael Onyedika on totalfootballanalysis and i was stunned
According to the site
1. He can play passes to wingers and break one or two defensive lines
2. He can make progressive passes for his team and is good at progressing the ball for his team upfield
3. He can also mark well.
I may be exagerating but everything about what they said sounded like Sunday Oliseh
remember the pass he gave Yekini at afcon 94. From what i read he is capable of stuff like that.
Read the analysis below
https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/raphael-onyedika-the-21-year-old-midfielder-making-a-big-name-for-himself-with-club-brugge-scout-report

These are excerpts from the article. Not my words but that of totalfootballanalysis which is a respected website


He averages 42.2 passes per 90 in all competitions this season while also averaging 7.58 progressive passes per 90, which is a very high value for a midfielder. This means that he is one of the most critical progressors for his side and is very crucial for their transition from the first to the second phase and the second to the third phase in possession.

The image below shows him playing a long pass that progresses the ball for his team and finds a free man in space on the wing.

He is also good at disguising passes when playing it forward for his teammates. The advantage of such passes are that it takes a lot of opposition players out of the equation and breaks lines swiftly. We can see an example of that in the image below where his body orientation suggests that he is going to play a pass to the full-back near the wing. However, he eventually plays it forward to one of the wingers out there in the forward line thus breaking two lines of defence at once.

Local players have to get money in Saudi. Those guys are worst than south African players, you never see them anywhere but their league grin

When u add their mostly above average players to some of the best players in the world the league should be quality.
Well i have thought of it.
The only league that can use money to catch up with the European league
is the South American league especially Brazil and Argentina.
The other leagues will try in vain.
if i had money i will invest in the Brazilian league and within 5 years it will catch up with Europe.
i dont thin saudi arabia can catch up with Europe.
in fact by default a player in Sao Paoulo or any top team in brazil might be better than a player in Brentford or fulham.
Thats how good the South American league is by default.
With money players like endrick, neymar etc wont go and some of the best players in europe will go to South America
and it will dust Europe in a short time
