collynzo2: na you host those tournaments you mention above? Na so we dey know people wey no dey watch ball.

dozai: Dead ball specialist learn it in their clubs not in the national teams. For now the only one we have unfortunately not playing is Sone Aluko. Lukman Haruna is also better than Mikel.

Chrisbenogor: bros na wa for you, some people watch to see messi dribble or Cristi play free kick. In my days I played at right back with the occasional "No 4" as we called it those days which was basically Box-Box, support left right attackers and full backs, I felt the pain. Each time I watch football my eyes naturally go to the engine room, and these days there are so many different variants.

Claude Makelele was the definition of that role, not making silly lunging tackles or running with no purpose for 90 minutes, he read the game and made the very very annoying interceptions (kai I hated him the most at chelsea) While that yeye terry and co were taking Glory the silent workhorse was Claude.

ogugua88: I don't know if either of you have watched Mexico play before today. They are far more organized than Nigeria, and they can certainly last 90 minutes in a match... even with 10 men as we saw today. If Mexico came at us with the strength they displayed in the second half with 11 men, I may be crying myself to sleep saying "every dog has its day".

Nigeria is good and we're all glad they won AFCON I'm the happiest o. The team that won was not organized from the very beginning. We all knew Keshi had work to do even after winning that tournament. Today's narrow draw only fortifies what most of us already knew.

I can't wait for our team to be an organized squad. Organization will make us a bigger African threat than we currently are.

Uyi Iredia: And I'm repeating to you that 10-men teams have stalemated or won 11-man teams. Hence, the 'edge' of an extra player doesn't count.

Uyi Iredia: 10 men teams have beaten or stalemated 11-men teams before. The precedent isn't new. I doubt you'll have been saying what you just said about Keshi right after the AFCON win.

dare2think: Its obvious ruggedman is not privy to the general nature of Journalists.


This is a phenomenal occurrence that is appropriate for whoever is in a leadership position.

know your s/h/it before you come on Tv.


We are so used to having incompetent people in position that exposing their inadequacies sounds offensive.

Rugeedman is an illiterate in this matter.

mc~evans:
We did not play with out key players yet we held Chelsea hostage.

ballabriggs: It is simple. You live in a country that does not have a quarter of the resources Nigeria has but they are able to organise themselves and use the little they have to uplift humanity. We cannot simply provide basic healthcare for our people in spite of the resources we have, how pathetic. You call it corruption, I call it cannibalism. It is people eating their own. True talk there and may God bless you.


Secondly it is absolutely false to say these guys do not contribute anything to Nigeria. Part of their earnings are capital flows to Nigeria in the form of remittances. That is a source of foreign exchange earnings to Nigeria. Also most of them spend their time studying abroad. That is contributing to the stock of human capital for Nigeria. I sincerely hope they realize this valid point In addition, some of them have foundations and societies that contribute to development in Nigeria. For example, some of my relatives and I in the US and the UK have a foundation and we know how much that foundation has contributed to humanity in Abonema our immediate constituency.

It is myopic to think most of them make no contribution to uplift Nigeria. They are not under any obligation to make known what they have done. The mere fact that they contribute in debates on Nairaland brings a diverse perspective Most Nigerians back home are myopic now to issues and the least that should be done is to appreciate them as Nigerians interested in Nigeria and not vilify them.

al-ahamad:
As a child, whatever happens in your household is attributed to your father whom is the head of the family....GEJ is supposed to be a leader whom we all look up to cos leaders are next to God as even islam warns about respecting our leaders but in this case, an innocent looking man with no shoes came to trick everyone then hires the most incompetent fools into the EXCO....who do you blame...

how could a condenmed plane fly.....aint ther regulatory bodies??.

Just tell me one good news concerning Nigeria that actually put a natural smile on your face....Non I'm sure

Road accident, bomb-blast, plane crashes all within a couple of days nd you think its normal....

My brother think again

On a different note, why do so few captains of industry go into Nigerian universities to impart knowledge?

ogugua88: I'll have to agree with ekt. PhD makes someone more knowledgeable. It does not give someone the abilty to effectively convey information to students.
