In English language, the term "white" is not a slur or abusive word and means something that's pure and clean while the term "black" is a slur and abusive word and means something that doesn't exist or something that's evil

PurpleHouse:
Watching Aribo today for the first time at Rangers. He's not as creative as I think. He is not a creative midfielder.

zuchyblink:
you know nothing about football,teams with players plying there trade their will beat you any day any time. Those that know football more than you clamoured for him and he was invited by the coach and supported by football administrators in Nigeria. Who are you? You are just a noise maker on Nairaland fooling around in the name of sports analyst

Omanambala:


[s]I don't think anybody ever made the argument of Aribo being a creative midfielder. Aribo , of course , has never being skillful or creative. Forget YouTube video compilation.[/s]

andrewbaba44:


You are the annoying one here

What wonders can musa and Simon do at the afcon ?

Wonder boy I see you

Oasis001:
We don't need Ighalo and VicMo. They should be allowed to retire peacefully. We are covered in both positions. Awoniyi, Sadiq, Dessers, Onuachu and Iheanacho are good enough for Striker position.

On the Wings, Chuks, Lookman, Kalu, Ejuke, Simon and Musa, Dennis are also capable enough to do wonders at AFCON.

charlesemeka85:
if dennis continues with his form i dont see him going down with watford if they eventually gets relegated. at worst a mid table epl team will snap him up

TheLoneCitizen:


I never said the terms white or black are racist words. In fact, if a white man calls me "negro" not "nigger" I'm taking no offense, because that's what I am. A negro.

Context is the key here.

Joe said no matter the qualification he will never accept a white coach. That is purely racist.

Let's flip the narrative for example.

If Pep Guardiola tells the media that he will never sign a BLACK player for whatever reason other than health concerns, that's purely racist.

But if Guardiola says he will never sign AFRICANS there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Why? In the first instance he focused mainly on skin colour, which is pure racism.
But in the second instance he focused only on a background or culture, which is opinionated.
So in the second case, even light-skinned Africans like Salah or Ziyech would not be considered by Guardiola.
But dark-skinned non-Africans like Rashford, Lukaku, Sala, Kante do not apply. There's no racism in that.

In the case of Joe, he said grassroot football is very important so he doesn't want white coaches. That is racism, because he focuses just on skin colour to draw his selection.

What he should have said was foreigners as that focuses on background and culture, not skin colour.

This is were I had to correct him.

humility33:


Bro did you just mention Simon and Musa on same sentence like they're capable of doing wonders

We need to get serious we Have what it takes to win next year afcon but I doubt if we will win it because of the agbaya we parade as a coach

Subzero047:
Nna eh, Ekong dey disgrace himself

isan:

isan:

humility33:


If there is anybody that don't know football it should be you or is there is something between you and Ighalo that you haven't told us

We are talking of Dennis balling in the epl you're mentioning Ighalo in a back water league

zuchyblink:
Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt have a good number of their players playing there. They will beat your EPL rookies silly any day any time

drDoom3:


Because they have good coaches, which we do not have unfortunately.

TheGoodJoe:


Go to Berger sites. Most of the work are done by Nigerians. The Germans come with truck, see how things are going, shout and zoom off. While the supervising Nigerian Engineers stay with the workers all through the day.

My boss once said, see how thorough the Berger work is, talking of the road. Then said I like Oyibo work.

An engineer said, have you seen any Oyibo working here.

If a foreign coach, because we are hardly ever signing a black foreign coach, Never done before is ready to do the work, he has my support.

Unfortunately, we will hardly find any ready to do the dirt work.

Oasis001:




If you let your brain act before your fingers, you would notice I put them together 'Simon and Musa' then coma before Dennis.

Note: I clearly mentioned Dennis in the Lineup and also said he's gonna be our Mo Salah coz he's inform.

Why I did put both Players together?! Your ITK na wonder sha.

charlesemeka85:

TheLoneCitizen:


This scenario you played out is actually white supremacy.

So if I understand you: you feel the white coaches will feel too good to follow grassroot football, but the blacks will be able to?

Right?

And to add there's nothing unique about German bosses leaving Nigerians to do hard labour, or about never seeing whites doing menial jobs in Nigeria. They are a minority.

andrewbaba44:


And you prefer musa and Simon to VICMO

Subzero047:
Nna eh, Ekong dey disgrace himself

isan:
Ekong was decent today i don't know which match you watch

TheGoodJoe:


We need a coach that will do the ground work. So qualifications won't count as the criteria. What will count is that is he ready to do the job.

I know our indigenous coaches are ready to do the ground work. That is why I will pick them over a White European with a decorated CV.

Oasis001:




I didn't force VicMo to retire nau. You and I know Musa gonna be like Yobo in his last Days as Eagles' Player and Captain.

He's already warming bench. Simon might play some part, but I won't be surprised if he's dropped for Lookman at some point and for rest of Tournament.

Check my posts on Ighalo return. I defended him and happy he returned. Did he justify it?

drDoom3:


His decision making is too poor for an EPL defender. Sure, he puts in tackles, is strong, and goes for aerial duels, but you need positioning and football sense to man the defense of an EPL team because of how tricky and creative EPL attackers are. Unfortunately, Ekong is seriously lacking in those departments.
