This is why I don't like Nigerian journalists. They can be so intelligent but also so sentimental.

So Balogun and Etebo would have been solid additions to the team while Dennis who was our most in form player before the tournament wouldn't have? Ighalo who only a few months ago they were shouting for him not to come back is who they are now regarding as our savior to solve our striking issues abi? Look at how OJB disgraced himself globally some weeks ago for example.

Please, let's learn to see and say things for what they are. That is why, any day, any time, Edafe Elegbete is still my go-to Nigerian journalist even ahead of etablished juggernauts like Colin Udoh.
how?

Have you guys seen the Silas Nwankwo gist?

Apparently, his current club came across a picture of him from 2015 when he played for the ESUT football team. Clearly, this is not an 18-year old, like anyone else would have pointed out

Since I came across that news, the only person that keeps coming to mind is that guy that came here to ask for help on joining the U-17 team despite being overaged.

While I understand that things are very difficult for the average Nigerian, especially as regards placement in sports, I will always insist on time.

There are truly some dreams that time will steal, and people have to be ready to accept that.

Lol.. Encomiums must be broadcasted to the world about the superlative job that Eguavoen and the team did in Cameroon.

If we had a forward looking God fearing federal government a week of fasting and prayer should've been declared by now in appreciation of our SE team accomplishments in Cameroon. We were the best attacking team, the best defensive team and we had the best coach.

So. Are we better off than we were before AFCON? Was it worth destroying a 5yr development plan and paying $600k to Rohr for early termination? Are we better positioned to reach the WC semis? Up Nigeria.
grin grin
After the WCQ, we will have another round of decision on this.

When the gist dropped here someone that knows him says he is 25 and not 18

18 was far too low

At best, he could have done 25. I don't know who advised these grown men with bass voices to cut their ages that low, and it is also another indictment on the Immigration officers, because what documents do they accept as proof of age when assigning passports?

I'm really curious, about how people like this pass off these ages. There comes a time when Affidavits should not be sufficient. How does an 18-year old not have a birth certificate we can access? Someone allegedly born in 2003? Our record keeping is so poor in Nigeria, because ideally, these things ought to be in an accessible database. The moment you're born, there should be a record of it in the National Population Commission Database, so, that even if you lose your birth certificate in a fire, all they may require is your name and state of birth to access your full details

When the gist dropped here, I had wanted to call Andrew our in-house MRI agecatcher,

but when someone says he is 25, I hold my peace, cos he might be, some people had that features that makes them looks older than their age, while for other like me, same features makes us look younger than our ages,

it's just the way it is

Apologies for the derailment.

Lol. You talk like the Nigerian government even has funds. Presently, Nigeria is broke. Any major project we undertake, we lend money. Aliko Dangote is a major domestic lender. He spent 8 billion dollars of his wealth in construction of the refinery.
Let's look beyond tribalism. He's the only one with funds to construct a refinery of that scale. Mind you, his refinery is the largest in the world. It's not his fault for doing this, blame your government that didn't maintain her refineries since independence.
The Port Harcourt, warri and kaduna refineries could have provided jobs to alot of citizens, but your government let it rot away.
Nevertheless, the Nigerian government through the NNPC are buying over 40% of Dangote refinery.

On the port Harcourt soot matter, it's due to illegal refining of crude, bunkering and gas flaring. It could be solved but like other sectors of the Nigerian economy, their are traitors involved across all walks of Nigerian life. The Nigerian government gave over a 100 legal oil refining licenses to different individuals but less than 5% of those individuals are performing or active.

Love Messi far more, but he has poor leadership qualities.

When 18-year-old Xavi Simmons missed his spot kick that crashed PSG out of Coupe de France, 'was watching intently to see if Messi will console him, but he just walked off.

Also unlike Ronaldo, Messi doesn't lead the press.

Didn't watch the Boro match, but here's him consoling Elanga.
absolute nonsense, it's better you focus on nigeria football and leave messi's leadership qualities out of your mouth
