Nigeria's problem is NOT ethnic or tribal conflict. If Nigeria was constantly experiencing economic growth and great prosperity, then, Nigerians would have something to rally round, unite, celebrate, and proudly defend. Just like Nigerians unite, become one and celebrate major sporting glory! There are more ethnic groups in the US and Canada. People come from all over the world, and form their own Nations. We have 'Little Italy,' 'China Town' and others. The diversity of Nations and differences is much more than Nigeria. But everyone is flourishing and united under one great, prosperous Nation. Success is the greatest element that connects and integrates different people and provides a sense of unity and shared purpose. Nigerians unite, become one and celebrate major sporting, art or culture!

Nigeria's problem is INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP. They are clueless! till now! Let me give you tiny example:

The country is facing extreme lack of economic opportunities which has resulted in lack of jobs, extreme hardship, crimes and insecurity, and the leadership are building projects that do not alleviate economic hardships, create sustainable employments or generate wealth for the country. At all levels, the leadership are misplacing funds that should be used for economic development.Instead of MASSIVE scale production to create employments, they build roads, convention center, 5-Star hotel, modern market, etc. Idiot Tinubu is wasting $60 billion on bullet train. No number of road can appreciate value of Naira; only massive PRODUCTION and EXPORT will. Federal and State Governments are scrambling over each other to sign contracts for projects that pays millions of scarce dollars to foreign firms: $14 billion! $20 billion. $60 billion. $900 million! $400 million! $100 million. $50 million. Just 0.1% of the funds misplaced on bullet train can create miles of cocoa warehouses in the West for EXPORT. Cocoa production is a massive source of employment in Ghana. Nigeria can out-produce Ghana. Ebonyi State alone can saturate West Africa with Rice, etc. Industries that create gainful employment is real development, not bullet train or convention centres.

Gainful employment results in quality livelihood, creates a sense of well-being and contentment, brings happiness, peace, social stability and security. Now, they are fighting insecurity in isolation, without a clue that it is a symptom of lack of economic opportunities.

Here's a small example: do we not use tires in Nigeria? Money wasted on Enugu convention centre, for example, can fund massive palm oil industry for export to tire producing country. They are laughing at us that we use their tires, keep their industries open, and we don't sell them anything in return. And our people would run to their countries to find work. It's unbelievable.

This is just a summary of the incompetence of Nigeria's leadership. It does not matter who the leader is. Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu or Jonathan. They will all do the same thing, because they have no clue the secret of Advanced Nations.

You spoke so well, more wisdom

If SA can just draw their last game and we thrash Benin 3-0. Surely we will qualify

Freshtruth:
This Sevilla guy better pass oshimen is high time we replace this goalkeeper he done too dry misbehave. Maduka better pass this keeper

He's too overconfident. Mugu

Is the game not over? It's over 90 minutes naa

Heads should roll in the South African FA for fielding an ineligible player. We had no business being docked points

Zimbabwe craze follow South Africa

vwvw:
Nwaboli! Abeg give us Onana instead

walahi that guy get problem.

Let's be honest, Nwabali is trash. We just don't have any one better.

First SE match I'm watching since this qualifier started. Omo I prefer to watch Man U than this shitty performance i just watched. WTH

I now see why we are at the position we are.

Nazgul:
Play offs is already out of our our reach. Cos even if we win our remaining matches we'll be on 17 points and only 1-4 second placed teams would qualify for the play offs. Currently the 4th team is on 18 points.

So our only hope is to top the group.

Eritrea withdrew from the qualifiers which means one group has 1 team less. To balance it off, FIFA usually deducts points earned from the last-placed team in each group. For our group, it's likely to be Zimbabwe who we got only 2 points from. Most of those teams at the top of the 2nd placed teams table will have 6 points deducted from their points while Nigeria will only have 2 points deducted.

PatientofYabale:
make rwanda draw abeg

God loves Nigeria

I just want to see Osimhen go to the World Cup
Most of our players are sheeeee
T

Nazgul:
Yea they just scored

we need to beat them atleast 2 to 3 goals and hope SA lose or draw.

Rwanda wil draw this game …..

To be sincere, super eagles don't deserve to qualify. Benin and South Africa have worked hard and one or both of them deserve to qualify. See Egypt , Senegal and Algeria, they showed intent from the very first game and now they have qualified.

Na this we wan take go world cup

If we qualify, the team needs a good coach and over hauling.

. This won't happen

Firstinline:
Someone please post the group table as it will be with these results.

As things stands, we need to beat Benin in Nigeria by at least 2 goals margin and hoping that South Africa also lose or draw their final match.

Then we will qualify.

AMI3:
I guess u are not mistaking Lesotho to Soweto?

.what is Soweto .. Soweto is city in South Africa .. Lesotho was formerly south Africa before they separated..
.what's your point??

Freshtruth:
Nwabali done sell match

that's very obvious.

oloriooko:
disappointing win terrible defence, terrible mistake by goalie, we don't deserve to be at the WC

I swear. Very disgraceful performance by so called stars.

Nwabali is beginning to get too comfortable in this team

Apcnewrecruit:
No we can't except we hammer Benin 3-0

The only way Nigeria qualifies is if CAF applies the adjustments as a result of Eritrea's exit from the qualifiers. If that happens and Nigeria pulls a win against Benin, Nigeria automatically become leaders of Group C.

Reason been that we only picked 2 draws against Zimbabwe. South Africa won both matches against Zimbabwe so thats a possible 6 point reduction for SA and only 2 points for Nigeria.

That is IF (a very big IF) CAF applies the adjustment

If Nigeria wins Benin and South Africa wins too... Na South Africa will qualify.

dream on bro

osothermal:

Just 2. If we defeat them 2-0, we'll both be on +5 goals. So it would come down to head to head. Which would favour us cos we lost 2-1 to them in their home and defeated them 2-0 in our home.

Nazgul:
As it stands, Nigeria has to defeat Benin at least 2-0 and pray that Rwanda should draw with South Africa.

I can almost predict the outcome of both matches with a good degree of accuracy .

South Africa to win at home against Rwanda.
Nigeria to draw at home to Benin.

Silentgroper:
.what is Soweto .. Soweto is city in South Africa ..Lesotho was formerly south Africa before they separated..
.what's your point??

At no point was Lesotho part of South Africa, Soweto is also not a city per se

Apcnewrecruit:
We are going nowhere. No overhype yourself

There is a mathematical possibility of Nigeria qualifying.

And I am not hyping myself.

We beat Benin in Nigeria by 2-0

South Africa lose/Draw.

This is football anything can happen.

creolehunt:
SA will win

How far

Because of one mistake.... typical Nigerian.
