Football Is The Only Thing That Unites us in Nigeria by God1000(op): 8:49pm On Mar 29, 2022
Apart from soccer, I don't see anything else that brings us together in Nigeria, we put aside our differences whenever Nigeria is playing football match against another country.

Unfortunately we lost to Ghana today.

And we are not even good at it. If it is about the only thing that Nigerians unite behind, a sensible government would invest everything to make the Nigerian football a world class.
If something as important as football in Nigeria is given this last minute attention, Imagine the rot in other sectors of the country.

huh

That one na temporary unity that lasts for barely 90mins.
Overall, the forces uniting us together are far weaker than the forces tearing us apart especially religious & tribal sentiments.
For me, Nigeria has grown too big & complex to be governed by one man from Abuja & therefore should at least be divided into & governed by regions.

Well you may say so but we need to divide Nigeria to save lives, those that died from Fulani attacks may have also wanted Nigeria to win today's match but they didn't even witness the match because of ONE NIGERIA

Divide Nigeria to save Lives

shocked



A nation divided against itself can never succeed.
This country has long gone to the dogs.

God is forever impartial. You expect to be shouting and jubilating down the streets when a lot of people lost their lives in the Train attack?

God bless the Good citizens and curse be upon the enemies of this nation.

Which football? Abeg we don't have a team we are proud of, that could make us all come together and support and be happy...I think it is music/entertainment...that's the only thing uniting the country

Confusion and bad luck.
Re: Football Is The Only Thing That Unites us in Nigeria by SwayG: 9:27pm On Mar 29, 2022
Nothing is going well in the country.

ASUU on strike
Fuel Hike
Transportation Hike
No electricity
Inflation everywhere
Bandits and Kidnapping every corner
Herdsmen and insecurity

The only thing that we were counting on to make us happy and to at least forget about our problems even for a day was this Football match against GHANA.


This Corn-Tree is officially Gone.
NOTHING IS WORKING
