Nigeria finished 4th in the mixed 4x100m final at the World U20 Championships in Eugene, with Tejiri Godwin, Chigozie Rosemary Nwankwo, Perfect Faye and Miracle Ezechukwu clocking a National U20 Record of 41.77s.

Ezechukwu once again closed hard on anchor, moving Nigeria from 7th to 4th with a 9.89s split.

At the tender age of 17, she now owns two of the fastest anchor legs ever run by a Nigerian woman in the 4x100m relay!!

Mister man, rest. Your assertion was rubbish and purely false. You cant lack the knowledge of our Youth teams' history and players' progress and want to establish an opinion that is obviously false.

Evidence beats epistles. Finito.

Your brilliant and outstanding contributions to this thread are what keeps it going. However, it’s amusing that you seem to struggle with distinguishing between opinion and fact. You appear to have difficulty with differing viewpoints, and when you disagree, you become overly brash and caustic for no apparent reason. Bro, live and let live. We can hold different opinions on an issue and still be respectful.

The women’s 4x100m final of the World U-20 Athletics Championships, starring Miracle Ezechukwu comes up, today, at 9:05pm Nigerian time.

A child of ten years would have learnt a lot in life, considering how long we have been on this thread contributing, dating as far back as 2017 when I first made my post here. I am sure you also joined this thread before I did.

However, as a note of caution, I would like to implore you, THESUPERNERD, as the good man I know you to be, to always desist from using derogatory words against fellow contributors on this thread.

I know that when it comes to general knowledge of the game of football and dissecting Nigerian football talents, you are arguably number one. I have been wowed by your depth of knowledge to the extent that, at some point, I jokingly told you to channel your knowledge into football business because I see you as being better than some of what we consume from other sports platforms and online vendors.

However, no man is perfect. You cannot continue to make the same mistake of dressing down an adult on this thread simply because they hold a contrary opinion, even if that opinion sounds “stupid” to you. People are entitled to their views, and disagreements should not necessarily descend into personal insults or derogatory remarks.

That is why I started this write-up with the point about “a child of 10 years.” A child of that age would have learnt and grown considerably in life, and in the same way, I believe that as adults, we should continually learn and improve in how we relate with one another.

Personally, I know I have improved in the way I see things and contribute to issues on this platform, and I expect the same growth from you too. I am only saying this as a simple reminder and not as an attack on you.

Judging by how long we have all been present on this thread, we should not allow ourselves to be drawn into unnecessary arguments, back-and-forth exchanges, or subtle insults that ultimately lead nowhere.

We can disagree, debate, and even strongly challenge one another’s opinions without losing respect for each other. At the end of the day, we are all here to contribute, learn, and share our different perspectives.

I will not stand by and watch blatant ignorance take root no matter who spills it.

Days ago during the U20 Wafu B semis, folks here were not even interested in the team and when CIV went 1-0 up we started reading nonsense like we hype the players too much. What sort of ignorant statement is that?? It was clearly an attack on the simple efforts of covering of our young talents.

Now the same thing is being attempted via the "no wonder people say we hype our players" all because I evidently debunked a clearly false assertion with facts.

False statements will never be allowed to stand in this thread. If any adult feels like they wanna establish an opinion about Nigerian football, better do proper research before spilling, because I am right here to proof read it as false or true. Finito.

If they cant handle being told they made false assertions then they are unteachable egoistic crybabies. Period.

I detest ignorance unwilling to see how false they sound. It is not a matter of opinion anymore when facts have been presented to debunk false assertions.
So I definitely know the scope of the difference. False remains false no matter who spills it.

You are so weak. It's pathetic. Keep bleating

Lol... You are the weak one and also ignorant one.

Occasionally spilling ignorance and trying to forcefully present yourself as Football-Knowledgeable when you are not. Be humble and learn. You dont know jack about the amount of "Real talents" that have come through and are still coming through our youth systems. So your ignorant assertion reflected again your level in Naija Ball matters.

This is why it is people like you this thread needs to be protected from. You call what we do in here hype. That says it all.

The most pathetic thing is you will still make this ignorant faux pas again in the near future. This is not even your first. Lol

But you can actually debunk their false statements without being insulting
Can't you?

THESUPERNERD, I think you have completely missed the point of my message.

Nobody is asking you to stand by and watch ignorance or false information take root. If someone makes a factually incorrect statement about Nigerian football, by all means, correct it. Your knowledge of the game is one of the reasons many people here respect your contributions.

The issue is not your willingness to correct people; it is the manner in which you sometimes go about it.

There is a clear difference between saying, “That assertion is factually incorrect, and here are the facts,” and calling people ignorant, egoistic crybabies or using other derogatory expressions simply because they have made a wrong assertion.

You can prove someone wrong without belittling them. In fact, being able to correct someone firmly while still maintaining respect is a greater demonstration of knowledge and maturity.

Nobody is saying you should allow falsehoods to stand. What I am saying is that you do not need to demean another adult in the process of correcting them.

And let’s be honest, being knowledgeable about Nigerian football does not make any of us infallible. You can be right about the facts and still be wrong in the way you address another contributor. Likewise, someone can make a wrong assertion without deserving to be insulted for it.

My earlier message was therefore not an attempt to challenge your football knowledge or prevent you from correcting people. Quite the opposite, I acknowledged that your knowledge of Nigerian football is exceptional. It was simply a reminder that, after being on this thread for so many years, we should have grown beyond unnecessary insults and personal attacks.

If you believe someone is wrong, correct them with facts. If they continue to insist on something demonstrably false, you can leave the matter there. But calling them names doesn’t make your argument any more factual.

We can maintain the standard of factual discussion you are advocating for while also maintaining a standard of respect in how we speak to one another.

I stop here for now . We pray for our female and male team’s victory today .

But sincerely, I did not exactly insult. I only said it is false assertion and presented evidence and that it is ignorant to say no real talents have come through since Osimhen despite the evidence presented. That was the core of my message. Nothing more. He just took offence to it.

Samueltemi337:

Can't you?

Trust me, I got your point.

I was as mild as possible in the original post and the followup debunking his false assertions. It was rather his insistence on persisting with it and making reference to "no wonder folks say we hype our players" that made me bring in words like Ignorance because experience in here have taught and shown me that it is only ignorance that utters such even in the face of proper evidence.

This happened as recently as the U20 wafub semifinals.

And not just ignorance even. It is uttered by those who pour water on the efforts some folks make in here to report on our young talents and established pros. How can anyone who has been here for years reduce all we do in here to "hype"? That is really just destructive.
