And back then we don’t follow this nowadays rule of “ball to hand “ is not penalty . If a shot is about to hit ur scrotum and u use hand block it, na penalty straight 😂

Nigerian Naira again: "The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday injected $197.71 million into the foreign exchange (FX) market in a bid to restore calm as the naira crashed to N1,600 per dollar—its weakest official exchange rate since December—under growing pressure from global economic shocks, including a 14% import tariff recently imposed on Nigeria by the United States."

Ideally, Nigeria should not inject funds to stabilize Naira since it is floated. A floating regime will require the market forces to do the job.  That we are still injecting funds after two years does imply Naira cannot swim in a sea of global currencies when floated. Simply, Naira does not have the productive life jackets to float!

Mr. Governor, save Naira: peg it to N1,200/$ and allow it be. I have an Excel sheet where I've tracked the gains and losses as a result of the float. My data showed me that Naira is still being subsidized, not by the government, but by the private sector. That subsidization by the private sector is costing the government massive revenue. So, companies like MTN which used to send tons of money as tax have nothing to send.

My data shows that the opportunity cost (revenue, investment, asset value, etc) and the extra borrowing associated due to the loss of revenue from the private sector is close to the amount the government was originally spending on the Naira subsidy before the float. By the time I modeled asymmetric impacts like loss of venture funding for startups which was triggered by the floating, it becomes a negative policy on national economic competitiveness and growth.

I am an investor and I speak with dozens of global investors yearly. The #1 Naira problem is the volatility and not necessarily the exchange rate. But since we are still injecting funds to stabilize Naira because the US sneezed tariffs, why not just peg it? Mr. President is rational as an accountant, and will see this from the numbers. As always, my highest respect and I close from my June 2023 post: ‘Nigeria’s floating of its currency, while progressive, will cause severe perturbations in the economy – and a stable state may not come as most experts have predicted." This injection of funds means the system is still unstable after 2 years

Playing the ball in it original size is painful because of the rough body , we inflat it to our taste before kick off

One time like that we had one egbon in our field who was a badass left back like dem Taiye Taiwo with a wicked left foot shot power .

There’s one decommissioned truck we normally sit on at the back of the post to watch them play senior men set in the evening . One day that Egbon whipped one shot which hit one young boy who was not more than 7 years old in the face . The boy was thrown off the abandoned truck at the back of the post and he hit the ground real hard . Omo, the kind blood wey commot that boy head that day lasan.

That Kaka is powerful weapon in the hands of anybody that has mad shot power

BlueRayDick:
“4 corner post “ trumps monkey post any day any time . As much I enjoyed monkey post , I think 4 corner post is my favorite type of football during childhood .

The game involves 4 different players manning 4 different goal posts strategically located on the 4 cardinal points on the pitch .

Each man will defend his post at all times to prevent any of the other 3 players from scoring in his post while he’s also scheming to score in any of their respective goal posts . Each player is allowed to touch the ball once until another player touches the ball while it is still in play. If u touch the ball twice in a row , u have committed a foul and the player whose goal post is directly opposite urs will play a “penalty” from his post straight towards urs . When the penalty is being taken, u will step away from ur goal post and hope the penalty taker loses an open net attempt at ur goal post grin

Once u are scored against either through open play or penalty , another player who has been on the outside will take over ur goal post and the game continues .We say he has “entered set”

I learnt defence and attack in that game . I usually end up being the lat man standing who others find hard to score against . At times if u have stayed too long and nobody has been unable to score u, the other 3 players can gang up against u solely to collaborate to score against u. cheesy
This is similar to Ball Ay which we used to perfect our ball control

You draw 4 quadrants with 4 men manning each quadrant. You bounce the ball and shout Ball Ay, everybody shout AY!. And each man must return the ball to another quadrant after once bounce with one touch. If ball bounces twice or you fail to return the ball to another man's quadrant with one touch, you are out and another man counting set will come in.

Another one we use to perfect our opio (nutmeg) skills is what we called American football. Everyman for himself, you throw the ball and any man will try to opio another man. If you get opiod, you will get multiple slaps on the back from everyone until you run and touch a designated tree.

And finally dribble and score which is everyman for himself with only one goal and one goalkeeper. Keeper will throw ball and you must try to dribble and score and every other player will defend against you. These will improve your dribbling skills. These minor games is the reason why the average Nigerian is better than the average oyinbo on an amateur level at basic skills.

Most importantly monkey post which teaches you not to do kick and rush football. Even in England today, I get pissed off when English teammates try to play low percentage crosses and rush rush ball down the line instead of building up play methodically like monkey post taught us. As an aside I remember the penalties in monkey post which is when you must back heel the ball into an empty net from 5 or 10 paces, na monkey post form of penalty be that

The worst one is those novices that instead of nodding kaka well well, they will just put their head passively and allow kaka to hit it.

It is better to nod kaka than to allow kaka to nod you.
