look at that useless cross; he was trying to score from nowhere land

Uche2nna:
No this is Nigerian U17 (the real U17's) vs Germany U17

You no lie my brother. The MRI scan is now exposing Nigeria's previous gimmicks.

Supporters are heading for the doors

2-0
this is embarrassing. I am done

way too much individualistic style; these players don't seem to get it that football is a team sport

these Naija players cannot accurately pass and distribute the ball

Having played on both pitches, I prefer natural grass to artificial turf. Artificial turfs look better on camera, though.

Ebe like say dis Abuja stadium na bad luck. Make we go teslim Balogun go play

Lalaboi

We were scheduled to play first, but the game was delayed due to heavy rain.

faakay:
I see

I have never been to the stadium, but with what I'm seeing now, the pitch is not good like when it was newly opened!!!  

Abeg there is nothing wrong with the pitch in Abuja stadium. The reason it looks likes this is because of the rain. Look at the Bra v Korea match and the pitch is OK. FIFA certified the pitches as meeting International Standards. Abi you sabi pass FIFA?

poor defending to give Ger a corner

faakay:
looooool

Is this not Abuja National Stadium

Mismanagement:::::

I remembered when the stadium was newly opened, Nigeria vs Brazil game,

The stadium was one of the best in Africa, but now the grass is not even green enough chei  

The stadium is still good. I think the pitch looks tacky because the pitch was over-flooded with rain

kai Germany nearly scored

jalether:
The picture quaity sucks mehn, when are we gonna upgrade with the rest of the world

Maybe you are watching on NTA. The pic quality is good on other international channels

these Naija boys look old small sha

I hope NEPA does not take light during the game

The ones we have, how well do we(FG) treat them.

That's the point. The govt. should try to treat the teachers well rather than send them away, and the govt. is using the request from SA as a justification of how good our education system is. So when next the govt. is criticized for being inept at dealing with our educational crisis, the govt. will reply with, well, SA has requested teachers from us so our education system must be good; and most West African countries have demanded our curricula so our education must be good. Ideally, the teachers are free to pursue more lucrative opportunities with the SA govt. or with any other foreign entity, but the government should not mediate this exodus.

semid4lyfe:
You guys should get off your high horses o. The world is now a global village and people work anywhere the pay and the standard of living is better. Apart from the xenophobia, S.A ain't a bad place to work. At least e go reduce the unemployment in our own country small.

Why don't you tell the govt. to send all of our doctors and professionals to Europe, SA, America, and all the other countries where the standard of living is better? If these professionals leave who will raise our own standard of living? it is not like Nigeria has excess teachers.

john4sure:
this is good news it simply means we have the manpower necessary to create a world class education system, all we need do now is to provide the infrastructural amenities needed,

Does it take South Africa's request for teachers to show that we have the manpower to create a world class educational system? And how will this benefit the country in anyway? If your govt. is sending teachers to SA, who will teach the new generation of kids, especially kids in the villages?

desthan:
Oil=Blessing

Our Leaders=Curse

oil = blessing
leaders = curse
oil made the leaders to be cursed (it is called oil greed)
country= controlled by leaders

therefore,

oil= curse

My inference from the FG story is that despite public criticisms of the Nigerian educational sector, and instead of fixing the heap of problems--i.e., paying teachers, improving infrastructure, among others, the FG is justifying its ineptitude with South Africa's request for teachers to fill its personnel shortage and comparing Nigeria's educational system to the educational system of numerous West African countries that supposedly depend on Nigeria to lead their educational sector as well as demand Nigeria's educational curricula. What kind of reasoning do our officials have?

Sagamite:
GBOSA, GBAM, GBOM, BOOM, BOOYAKASHA!!!

Thank, you. We are in the same club.

As I chose to say, I would rather be a Caveman than a modern or metrosexual man.

I can cook and do other household chores but don't particularly enjoy doing it, I would rather have my woman do that for me (I would help out if it is too much). Nothinrong with dat!

I wouldn't ask her to fix my car, buy me flowers to feel good, put up an IKEA or other DIY product for me, drop my friend at home at 12pm at night, drive and follow me to the shopping mall. I wouldn't even bother her with my feelings, insecurities and emotions but she would feel entitled to demand all of the above without me flinching.

What I hate is when I meet these girls whose ideology of equality is that men drop all male privileges whilst women keep theirs.

If you want me to be running helterskelter doing Valentines day, wasting my money on flowers and other rubbish of the sought, dealing with PMS issues, you better show your worth as a woman.

Well said. You want the man to act like a man by, for example, changing the oil and performing all the "manly" chores, but you complain when he asks you to do the "womanly" chores. This can be a problem on both frontiers. First, for women who advocate equality, those women should be prepared to cut the grass, dirty their hands, and engage in all the manly chores if that man is to wash the dishes, and cook and wash your pata. To be plain, you want a man who has divested himself of his birthright, which is to be the leader. Second, for those women who do not advocate equality, accept your womanly roles and let that man be a man. Why are these women fighting for the roles that men have?; you don't see men fighting for the roles that women have. Na wa for this so called modern-day women ooo.

POSAKOSA1:
When a MAN IS POOR or BROKE ? What should a woman do ? still make him feel like a man ?   

So what you are implying is that you are not going to make a man feel like a man because he is poor/broke. You are forgetting that being broke could very well be a temporary situaion. I guess that speaks for the mentality of a lot of women. What if the man is on his way to becoming rich or has serious potential? A girl like you will bypass that supposed "poor man" in the pursuit of a "rich man." But when you are now old and single and those "poor men"are now rich, stable and happily married, you will come back to Nairaland and start a thread about the unavailability of good or successful men.

A woman who is open-minded and looks both into the internal composition as opposed to looking only into the external composition of a man will likely find a good man. Look for potential and character as opposed to glitterati; and if you are having problems attracting and finding good men,  pray for God's wisdom to open your blinded eyes. You won't find good men if you lack the judgment to select, characterize, and to choose whom to date. There are good men everywhere, you just don't recognize them.

I guess the problem with naija men living outside naija is that they find it difficult leaving their naijaness in Nigeria. When you live in the Uk or western world you should at learn to act like a modern man. Doing dishes will not kill you, neither will cooking or helping change the baby's diapers. In Nigeria the woman does it all. I mean work an office job and look after the home front. Plus women are not supposed to complain. Ever! The man is king of the castle.

When you move to the west where jobs are scare and you are trying to find your feet you may find yourself out of work. You may be unemployed for months on end or have a job that only gives you few hours a week.

Its not the fact that you are unemployed that matters. Its your attitude and disposition and how much use you are to the family. You need to make yourself useful if only on the home front. I can bet you that if your woman is the bread winner and comes home to a clean house and happy kids, she will not have much to complain about. Its no different from a working man coming home to find his housewife asleep on a pile of clothes with chores undone!! UGH.

You are not doing it for anyone but for your family. its the defeatist attitude of naija men that drives me crazy. after job hunting for some weeks, they'll blame the system, the white man, the aliens, the moon and the taliban for all their misfortunes. After some time it becomes unbearable to be around them. Women love security. Get used to it. If she can do it all by herself why does she need a husband? really? Its not easy dating an unemployed man. Period. He brings nothing to the table , yet you are expected to still wait on him hands and feet. The perks you get from being a husband are great. Its not too much to ask to get your act together. Its the potential in you that matters. Chanting "I have potential" for months on end will help us none. Turn that potential into an actual JOB. Thank you.

But the system may be responsible for some of these men's inability to procure employment; nonetheless, the man should partake in household activities if he is unemployed and his wife is working and busy.

maybe the poster does not like Britico guys, since at appears as though they like to wear tight, low rise jeans and baby tees

who dash Akala "Otunba?"

It is usually women who traverse the streets with attitudes, rebuff men who approach them because "Funmi" did not introduce that man to her, that come to sites like that this to surmise this nonsense because men have decided to abandon them and look elsewhere. So, instead of looking in the mirror and change their jagbajantis attitude in order to attract quality men (quality men don't deal with their BS), they now use their emotionally clouded judgment to make a whooping generalization grounded upon some fabricated facts that no quality men exist. Abeg comot for road.

Well said. But what is it with Nigerians and entrepreneurship ? If you ask me, Nigerians are very entrepreneurial,

By entrepreneurship I mean creating world-class multinational companies that can compete in a global environment, not just selling spare-parts or importing tokunbo items to sell in Alaba market or selling mobile phones, or to sell Ghana-Bread in a traffic jam, and so on, nor do I mean staying up all night at a Cyber Cafe with the intent of scamming unwitting citizens. Look at a lot of U.S. businesses.

The quantity of the universities is not the issue; it is the quality. I think the curriculum should be overhauled, particularly at the graduate level and at professional schools. Instead of focusing on memorizing the doctrines and disgorging it on exam day, the curriculum should be overhauled to focus on critical thinking, more real-world application, and entrepreneurship, all of which are integral in developing graduates who will create jobs and change laws and be more productive instead of looking for jobs.

This pageant has my stamp of approval since it is designed to obliterate the stigma associated with persons living with HIV. Comparing a HIV+ person to an armed robber is tantamount to comparing a person infected with, say cancer, to a criminal. May the Lord forgive such persons making those erroneous comparisons, and I pray that they, or a member of their family, never become infected with HIV.
