All you people want 4 to 5 star hotels in a third-world country. Consider, these hotels, in order to provide 4 to 5 star service, have to spend substantial amounts of money to compensate for the shortfall that is caused by inadequate infrastructure.
If you guys think the high rates charged by hotels are not caused by operational costs, then mention one country that has no power and water supply, that depends on generators to practically provide 24-hr electricity, that charges these cheap rates. You guys will find that Naija's power problem is unique in its own.

Many people running their mouths here will be the same ones complaining if these hotels are minimally priced but their guests have to sleep in darkness or use a bucket and container to dispense water on their bodies when taking a shower rather than a standard shower dispenser.

There are definitely cheaper hotel options in Nigeria, but they do not offer the same amenities as the higher rated hotels. Diesel is expensive, me people, especially if you have to buy it at black market rates during a scarcity.

You need to direct that sentiment to the government. Nigerian hotels are definitely not overpriced, even though for comparable services their prices are for the most part appreciably higher than prices of Western hotels, partly due to the fact that operational costs of Nigerian hotels are substantially higher than those of Western hotels.

Nigerian hotels, in order to maintain western standards such as stable light, uninterrupted clean hot and cold water, among others, have to install onsite water treatment plants, a back up generator against flickering electricity (plus another generator to backup the backup generator), and have to dig multiple deep water wells or boreholes just to pump water. On top of that, these generators have a voracious appetite for diesel, which is another substantial operational cost. That's the price to pay for doing business in Nigeria, and that which is passed on to the consumer; western hotels don't have to factor these costs into their expenses.

disband nff front office. by the way does anyone know sani lulu abdullahi"s qualifications, that can justify his appointment? or is he qualified by merely being a mallam?

AjanleKoko:
Abi o.
I have always wondered why none of our golden generation have been retained by any of their clubs to join the coaching staff.
The FC Barcelona community is made up of ex-players. Cryuff, Begiristain, Guardiola, Luis Enrique.
For our own boys, it's almost as if they are sent packing from these clubs.

Have you ever thought that maybe they want to return home after a long sojourn in a foreign land to help develop local football, on the administrative front and on the field?

Seun:
If Kanu has the talent for coaching, he should go into it. Administration is for administrators, not footballers.

what if you are no longer a footballer? Are you saying they can't be administrators. There you go with another rubbish Nigerian mentality.

Obasanjo "spent" $16B to improve the power sector. If the Govt. has no money to fix the power sector, that makes for a great argument supporting the deregulation of the power sector; that way, private cos can invest their own money for profit purposes. But these malos in the senate will not support it.

"yepa"; "oriyami"; "olodumare"

This picture pretty much sums up Nigeria's performance today. In Yoruba tradition, we refer to it as "yepa"; "oriyami"'; "Olodumare"

STOP PRESS. WANTED: A TOP STRIKER FOR EAGLES.(the adjective super is suspended for now.) POSITION HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE THE EXIT OF AGHAGHOWA. DEFENDERS POSITIONS VACANT SINCE THE EXIT OF UCHE OKECHUKWU AND PASTOR WEST. MIDFIELDERS NEEDED SINCE OLISEH AND JAYJAY STEPPED ASIDE. WINGERS MISSING SINCE AMUNIKE AND FINIDI BADE FAREWELL. OMG ITS LIKE ITS THE WHOLE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually think the whole team needs to be disbanded, with the exception of Kalu, maybe Nsofor, and maybe Martins. But Martins missed a one on one.

One sports commentator called Yakubu's miss "the miss of the century." He ain't lying.

May thunder strike down Yakubu. That was the miss of the century. His football career must end immediately.

The problem with our african players is commitment, they dont look so committed like guys from other countries.

You need a coach to motivate them to fight for the nation. How can a foreign coach motivate the players?

Argentina don score another one ooooo

waka to all these SE players. Look at all the goals they missed

martins what happened

Argentina don score

my gooodnesss gracious  


yakubu you are a bastard

why yakubu no pass that ball to martins

stupid referee. He could have allowed us to take our free kick before blowing the half time whistle!

Afolabi error. Defending 101: mark your man, not the ball

no urgency. someone should have been there to knock in the rebound given up by the Korean keeper

these Iyakubu is useless

Uche don score oooooooo

Danny shittu is too fat to dive

I hope we don't have to use a blood pressure medication for this match ooooooooooooo

they need to play the ball high so we can score with the head, since we have a height advantage over the Koreans

thank God at least he is playing two strikers, even though they are aged.

amigoes:
can somebody pls tell me why lagerback had been ignoring obafemi

I have been wondering about the same thing!

Old guys will be chasing this fast Korean line up

I don't like this starting up?

Did Kanu lobby his way into the starting line up, or did he deserve to be in the line up?
