Omanambala:
Why is it that whenever a black athlete sees a little success they mostly go for white women but their white counterparts will never even flirt with a black girl. I hear Osimhen is dating a German girl but before he was this big black girls were his type.

What is really up with the black man?

The lady is mixed race. Her mom is a Cameroonian though late....

Indeed it was. Even before the tournament began, I had already tagged it so judging by the quality of the teams and the fact that 3 of them were regional champs and the other (SA) a runnerup to the other regional champ (Zambia) and it lived up to the tag.

It would be nice to watch Mabena and co against the Senegalese.

That SA team is capable of shocking Senegal if underated.
Senegal may have had a 100% record because of the nature of opposition they faced.

The schedule I have say Morocco vs Algeria and Senegal vs SA is for May 10 (Wednesday).

Then it also says Mali vs Congo and Nigeria vs B/Faso is for Thursday (May 11).

Will see if it tallies with what the official CAF social accounts will put out.

Turns out the schedule I have is correct afterall.

We play on Thursday NOT on Wednesday. The commentator you (odogwujayy) heard was wrong.

Gent may offload Orban over ‘indiscipline’
May 6, 2023 Editorial V



Blueprint Whatsapp

KAA Gent is open to offloading Nigerian striker Gift Orban in the summer despite his impressive form due to indiscipline and what they have termed as lack of sportsmanship.

Orban who joined the Belgian side during the January transfer window had been in blistering form scoring 14 goals in 16 appearances while providing two assists in the Belgian League and the Europa Conference League had seen his form dwindle failing to score in the last five games across the competition.

However, things got tense in the Jupiler Pro League Europe Playoffs when the Nigerian was benched for 76 minutes in their 3-1 win over Westerloo. He was introduced into the game and scored the side’s third goal in the 88th minute but while other players celebrated the win with the fans, Orban stormed into the dressing room and also accused manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck of failing to trust him.

“Honestly? I don’t think I deserve to sit on the bench. I am a player who has to grow in a match from the start. That’s when I’m at my best. I still feel in top shape. And it’s not because I didn’t score in the past games that I didn’t help the team, right? I did nothing wrong.”

His outburst has led to a decision by the management to add him to their transfer list at the summer according to voetbalbelgie.be, “Orban reacted toxicity on some substitutions or non-base places. He said he was not satisfied and wanted to leave. That behavior plus his attitude in the dressing room is not well received. With a good offer, Gift Orban can leave this summer.”

The 20-year-old has caught the eyes of several European clubs and the Belgian side will be hoping to catch in on his sale. He joined the side in January from Norwegian side Stabaek for €3.3m.

Symbolism, lack of self-love, lack of tribalism in the athlete e.t.c

It's what a detribalised African will do and what someone who isn't pro-African ( pro black ) will do.

Everyone is free to date anyone they want..

I believe black people should at worse date or marry another black person even if that person is not the same tribe or country as them.

Or at worst worse mixed-raced person like Naomi Osaka.. her boyfriend is a black guy.

You see, we Africans are not civilized. We have lost civilization in its essence.
For example, most Nigerians believe that inventing things is for Europeans and not Africans.
A girl once told me this "We don't invent things, we live that for the Europeans and Americans"
when i told her that i wrote a book about a black inventor.
Also, Africans don't even think in terms of psychology, philosophy etc.
Our forefathers were animists who worships idols and not philosophers and scientists.
Culturally, the forefathers of White people are people like Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton,
Plato etc while our forefathers are witches and wizards that left us with ignorance, illeteracy and wickedness.
We Africans dont even understand what education is and only read to pass exams.
Also, we do not understand how to discover the talent of our children or apply psychology to child rearing or education.
Our minds are still primitive.
Even Nigerians with money still have a backward mindset.

To buttress my points and the multi-dimensionality of African backwardness with Nigeria as a case point

1. A lot of Nigerian ladies still bleach their skins which is inferiority complex, confusion and madness
2. In church the prayer goes like this, "God all the witches, wizards and idols in my fathers house, deliver me from them"
Which buttresses the point that our forefathers were superstitious folks who left us with emptiness and illeteracy
3. We cannot conceptualize the world in the modicum of modern intellectual thought. We are very mechanical, confused
and copy everything the white man does.

FURTHER THOUGHTS

Africans seem not to have a scientific, rational and philosophical world view
In fact, a researcher said
'"The African thought system has been adjudged irrational because according to Bruhl,
it is insensitive to the rules of formal logic as formulated by Aristotle"
If you ask the average African congent reasons about anything he will not be able to give
a rational answer.
For example, if you ask a Nigerian why in his or her tribe some families (such as Osu in Igbo)
are treated badly, he or she cannot give a rational explanation from history.
We dont have a rational mindset.
AFRICANS GREW UP WITH CULTURE AND RELIGION
EUROPEANS OPERATE WITH SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY
SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY PROMOTE
a rationality
b questioning assumptions
c innovations
while religion and culture promote doing thins without thinking
and lack of innovation cause you do anything without changing them

Africans invented Science, Engineering, Education e.t.c before the eu:ropeans stole it and decided to claim it.

some of the inventions were created by enslaved black Americans but attributed to whyte people..

If eu:ropeans are so good in science why couldn't they invent cars and all the things we see today 1000 years ago

the progress of eu:ropeans started after they invaded black people lands, education , science e.t.c..

our forefathers and foremothers left us Languages, culture, traditions and science e.t.c.. they were never superstitious. you have just exhibited extreme hatred for black people.

Its nice to talk like that but the present day African exhibits traits of backwardness and ignorance.
In fact, i know a lawyer who told me that science is the black man's witchcraft.
The real life experience and mental reality of Nigerians sound backward.
I mean common things of life are incomprehensible to us.
In fact, we think introverts are not normal
The average Nigerian does not know the difference between an introvert or an extrovert
A lot of nollywood films are full of people visiting a babalawo and end with a pastor shouting deliverance.
We lack intellectual sophistication.
The stuff we got from Egypt or Timbuktu is lost.
We cant connect with it
AS PER OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE
You see, it is the white man that teaches us our language
Yes, it is the white man that makes us to understand our culture
because the white man tells us our history and culture
We are just ideological non-identities

there's no such thing as a Nigerian or Nigeria..

Each of the ethnic nations within the place called Nigeria has their own unique language, culture, science, education e.t.c..

say you or yourself.. don't speak for other Nigerians ( over 100 million people ).

you exhibits traits of backwardness and ignorance.

you lack intellectual sophistication. because if you had any intellect at all you won't be saying the rubbish that you're saying.

the whyte teaches you not other Nigerians your language.
the whyte makes you not other Nigerians understand your culture.
the whyte makes you not other Nigerians to understand your culture ..

you are just ideological non-identity.

you suffer from serious inferiority complex which is growing into a mental problem...

you come on a Nigerian forum pretending to be African because no sane African will say the nonsense you're saying...

go back to your whyte supremacists forum and stop pretending to be African online that's beginning of going crazy and needing a psychiatrist ..

Africans invented what?? You think science and technology started 500years ago? While I'll agree that we as Africans had some form of civilization like the Benin culture where they had paved roads with Street lights (lamp),basic tools for day to day activities etc, but there weren't in the same level as the Europeans.

Africans science and technology created the sun, moon and the entire universe and galaxy that made earth blossom and that's greater than anything eu:ropeans will ever create..

This is a real problem, bro. I think rich black men from poor backgrounds see white women as status symbols just like iphones, yachts or sports cars. To them, white women are exotic creatures and symbols of their "arrival" into the world of wealth and success.

The painful part is that most of those white women would never have looked their way if they were just average or poor blokes.

Rich white men would almost NEVER go for a black woman especially if the woman in question is not wealthy and established in her own right or from a famous family.

So, rich black men want white women. Rich white men also want white women. Black women are now the leftovers abandoned for the average/broke dudes to eat.

Colonialism really damaged our collective mindset as a race.

You are completely WRONG you are being stupendously ASSUMPTIVE.

From a UK perspective firstly, let me say it as a Warri pesin. D time were I go take catch one fine black babe , I go collect 100 Onyibo.

Black babes, will require a lot more substance, I need some lyrics, swag, substance, character and personality to get with a black babe in general.

In the USA my experience is a bit warped, but l notice my English accent. Gets the Black American babes drooling my experience from Miami to Houston to NY.

Europe more or less the same, and I don't include in my sample exported desperate OLOSHO from Benin and other places.

Was in Lagos, a few months ago Portugal. The Brazilian babes just seem to go crazy for Naija guys.

I personally did not date Oyibo babes for a duplicity of reasons.

Evidence suggests otherwise. Nigerian/African players Like Mikel, John Utaka, Obinna Nsofor, William Ekong, Atsu of blessed memory and even Mahrez are all married or in serious relationship with white women.

Flip it to Asians or South Americans how many do you know are married or in a serious relationship with European oyibo? Heck Brazilian players wey be confirmed ashewo dem no dey marry oyibo unless she's from back home.

Look at America as well famous black American athletes Michael Jordan, OJ Simpson and Lamar Odom all married Caucasian women.

Bros who was attempting football blasphemy? Which Zidane were people attempting to compare to De Bruyne? Must be the former Egyptian international definitely not the former Balon d'Or winner, World Cup and European Championship winner, UCL Champion and French legend they are referring to.

Danielnino00:


De Bruyne will pass as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.. Absolutely no doubt about that.. But for the best midfielder of all time, I doubt it..
One thing that made players like Zidane so special was their influence for both club and country...

The UCL Curse over Pep is Lifted - Yaya Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk 🤣🤣

Background story: Dimitri Seluk, a Russian agent who represents former Manchester City star Yaya Toure, had suggested back in 2018 that Pep Guardiola will never win a Champions League trophy again in his career since African Shamans had put a hex on the manager for his alleged ill-treatment of the midfielder.

But recently, Seluk said that he wants Manchester City to win not just the Champions League, but the 'treble' as well and that the curse over the Catalan manager has been removed.


The Present:
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Read what he said in the present...


Speaking to The Mirror, Seluk said, "I want to apologise for this matter. I think it is time for this bitterness to stop - and I know that Yaya feels the same because he wishes nothing but success for City. I can say that the spell has now been lifted by the shamans - and that I think City will win the Champions League under Pep.


"They have a good chance of winning it this year. But whatever happens, they will definitely win it in the next three years. Do you remember when I once criticised City for not giving Yaya a cake on his birthday? Well, it is my birthday this month and my present is for this curse to be ended. In fact, it is my hope that City win the Treble this season."

He wants to keep on wearing the mask as a trademark.

Possibly for rest of career.

One of the reasons Osimhen did this was because the club's management adviced him that a mask will increase his popularity and marketability.

Osimhen will also use this as negotiation bargain for salary in his next club.

Evidence suggests otherwise. Nigerian/African players Like Mikel, John Utaka, Obinna Nsofor, William Ekong, Atsu of blessed memory and even Mahrez are all married or in serious relationship with white women.

Flip it to Asians or South Americans how many do you know are married or in a serious relationship with European oyibo? Heck Brazilian players wey be confirmed ashewo dem no dey marry oyibo unless she's from back home.

Look at America as well famous black American athletes Michael Jordan, OJ Simpson and Lamar Odom all married Caucasian women.


"Rich black men from poor backgrounds"


That's the demographic that you identified to quote you verbatim.

You have changed the narrative and specifically have identified Nigerian/ African players.

Remember I said to your it's the exception and not the rule.

Selecting playeers from the Utaka, Nsofor, Mikel era
1. Yobo
2. Enyeama
3. Yakubu
4. Ikechukwu Uche
5. Anichebe
6. Obagol
7. Ahmed M.
8. Moses V.
9. Shittu
10. Elderson
11.ldeye
12.Taiwo

Etc ,etc

I will not go into the more recent era of players.

You at essentially VERY WRONG and misguided in your assumptions.

Liecester paying for disrespecting Fulham. Soumare is not that mobile, an Ndidi would have helped to free him to mark Fulham no 6 instead of a Preat who has been so far lost in the game. Fulham players are just walking through that midfield anyhow. This might be a whitewash.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. You need a DM (Ndidi) that can mark and occupy space in defense and a CDM on Fulham number 6. 3 nil now! Football is not that difficult to read. lol!
