Sunshine34:
China has over 1.4 billion
Pakistan
India all have billion and millions population, why singling Nigeria out, OBI IS A MASTER FRAUD.
China , Pakistan and India do not take football serious, plus Obi is running for president of Nigeria, not PM of pakistan or india or leader of China.

India and Pakistan's main sport as well as china is academics.

There he goes again with that squeaky little voice, proudly parading yet another spectacularly brainless argument. So football is now the definitive measure of a nation's greatness? What an astonishing display of intellectual bankruptcy. By that ridiculous logic, his China should have a permanent reservation for the World Cup trophy.

Obi is right. We can all see how China and India are performing so well at this world cup.
Those countries don't have our genetic advantage though.

Where is Italy, Poland and Other superpower power Nation that doesn't qualify, can we blame that on bad leadership.
Obi is running for president of Nigeria, not other superpower nations, including italy and poland

Leave their matter for their politicans abeg.

Dollyak:

Nothing to do with genetics. Countries have their favourite sports, which they prefer.

Pakistan and India could do well in football if they wanted, but the main money spinner is cricket, and every youngster from there wants to play cricket. Soccer is a distant last in their priorities.

Same thing in China. (China routinely does well in field events at the Olympics, and they beat African athletes, wey be genetic mememe? Also, Pakistan and India were dominating javelin recently at same olympics...beating even European mainstays. How far).

iF football or rugby could guarantee money or was a money spinner, you go see Pakistani and Indian yooth taking to it. Or to put it bluntly if an Indian or Pakistani yooth sees a young Indian or pakistani guy building mansions in the village and city at age 22 after a successful season at Inter or Man city, you will see them in their numbers take up soccer, no questions asked. But the young men putting up mansions are either cricketers or people who do academically well, or people who jakpa. SO...

It is like Kenya and running. Everyone thinks Kenyans are good at running. The truth is, a few guys from one tribe went to Olympics in the 1960's for kenya, won, and came home with medals and kudi. That inspired young guys from that part of Kenya to take up running and so forth. Kenyans can be and have been beaten. Same thing with Ethiopia.

There is nothing like genetic advantage in sports. A country's success in sports, nay individial success in sport is dependent on how serious they take that sport.

Ask Obi that CHINA with a population approaching 2 BILLION that has never qualified even ONCE for the World Cup, is it because of.. ?

INDIA with a population of 1.5 BILLION has never ONCE qualified for the World Cup despite numerous attempts.

HIS FAVOURITE COUNTRY BANGLADESH HAS NEVER SMELT THE WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION.

So ARE ALL THOSE COUNTRIES ALSO USELESS AND UNSERIOUS, PETER?

What's our business with world cup? Our children are in the forest for almost 2 months, men ar being beheaded and killed, women being raped, many rural areas who are predominantly farmers are empty hereby causing high cost of living, fulanis have taken over, our people can no longer sleep with their eyes close, we now live in fear in our own land because of what's called govt that's busy supplying weapons to terrorist all because of satanic agendas.

Here is Peter obi talking about world cup. I have said it many times, there is nothing called govt, these men have been selected to destroy our people.
Fixing sporting development can keep more young people occupied, can provide jobs (yes it can) and keep people from taking up arms to go into the bush to kidnap and do other criminal things.

EponObi:
Everyday, this one just makes himself unattractive with the jargons he says and childish stunts he pulls.

Despite Tinubu being unpopular, you'd expect this ekuke to sit down to strategize and make Nigerians see him as a decent alternative. Atiku that's close to 80 years is a more vibrant and appealing candidate. You will never see Atiku say rubbish like this. So far, and by huge margin, Atiku has been the only one opposing this government from a logical standpoint.

You won't see Atiku going to the middle of a bad section of a road that is currently undergoing massive reconstruction for media paparazzi. You won't hear Atiku say nonsense like this.


Does this even make sense? How is it Tinubu fault that the Super Eagles didn't qualify? If Nigeria qualify and were eliminated at the group stage, will he say it's Tinubu's fault too? Obi is a boy, tbh. Very irritating and annoying. So presidential conquest has now turned to children playing with sand? How are sound and intelligent people comfortable supporting this dullard? As as how?

Make 2027 just come quickly so he can be relegated completely from national politics, make we see road. Mtchew.
All this you are saying does not excuse our bad performance in sports.

APC since 2015, have they improved sports? We have not qualified for fifa age grade tournaments , our clubs are not going for continental trophies like they used to and so on.

And your government is not treating this as a disaster.

Or you want us to be like Italy that ignored the fire in their house until it was too too late?

Blaming Tinubu for football . Gosh. How about the players who didn't take the qualifications seriously even for the fact that we have world class players in our team

Is this Peter Obi psychologically normal like this

Tinubu must be responsible for Italy not qualifying for the world cup then

Radarada
PETER OBI IS FAST TURNING HIMSELF INTO A NATIONAL CARICATURE.

A NATIONAL JOKE.

A NATIONAL COMEDIC POINT.

i have never seen this man as someone with knowledge of the system apart from trading.

there are over 150 countries that failed to reach the world cup group stages. So their government is responsible.
Re: Peter Obi Compares Nigeria To Cape Verde, Blames Leaders For World Cup Failure by Love800(m): 11:14am On Jul 06
Not blaming tinubu for football, but technically blaming the deteriorating-government for poor decisions surrounding the football federation connecting with the general living conditions of nigerians.

Its a quote which needs serious and analytical mind to understand.

Kushites:

China qualifed for one world cup in 2002.

The problem with china is they do well in other sports, and they also heavily focus on academics. As such a failure in football is outweighed by successes in other sports.

And yes, China's poor record at the world cup has been criticised. BY actual stakeholders. Yes, some have even blamed the governance and structure.

Peter Obi is not running for government office in china.



INDIA with a population of 1.5 BILLION has never ONCE qualified for the World Cup despite numerous attempts.
India does well in cricket and also does well in hockey.

India's problem tend to be that a young poor person in the country sees education as the way out, not sports.

Also,a lot of Indians have blasted their country for its shitty performance in sports, and have blamed their government and , especially re football, the AIFF. (I saw a youtube video done by an Indian where he really broke down how corruption and mismanagement have harmed INdian football).

Peter Obi is not running for Indian presidency

Also, India has issues...power supply, large scale poverty, etc. Their government gets a lot of stick about it.


HIS FAVOURITE COUNTRY BANGLADESH HAS NEVER SMELT THE WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION.
Same reasons, plus Bangladesh is not a perfect country.
[quote]So ARE ALL THOSE COUNTRIES ALSO USELESS AND UNSERIOUS, PETER?
Is Peter Obi running for office in those countries? Ye better ask him about what he intends to do with sports in Nigeria if he wins.

And yes, bad performance in sports= failure. Even in the USA...their bad performance in the 2020 olympics track events was viewed as a national disgrace by people like Michael Johnson, the former male 200 and 400m olympic champion.

Even countries that do well on say the olympic table, get blasted for neglecting other sports.

But as I have said, Obi is running for Nigerian office. Whether he like India or china is irrelevant. Even me, I think we should follow China's industralization example, as well as Germany and Japan, and both countries' governments have issues, but you should not then use issues in other countries to excuse the mess APC is making here.

Yes, I said it.

Always criticizing others or other regions except his mob footsoldiers who disrespects, distorts people's histories, write fake histories of other people's authentic histories, who want to force their label on Royal people....

His best bet is to seek appointment with the present APC government instead of trying his luck thinking 2023 will be same as 2027.

The results from the administration style of nigeria government is affecting all sections in the country including sports. This is the summary.

So you can't see the revelation behind this obi speech!

Out of over 170 countries it was to be less than 60 countries to participate in world Cup.
Countries like Tunisia, Italy, Cameroon did not go.

Re: Peter Obi Compares Nigeria To Cape Verde, Blames Leaders For World Cup Failure by ARISHEM: 11:27am On Jul 06
The reason why we did not qualify is because NFF said they will go for a local coach because the federation is broke to hire a quality one.
