Tajbol4splend:
We've had more honors than them

Which honors- they have won World Cup. That one supercedes anything.

Also their league is heaven to Nigerian players

Jarus:
1. Cameroun

Cameroun is Nigeria’s biggest rival on the African continent. If you doubt, check how sad Samuel Eto’o was the day Nigeria dumped Cameroun out of Egypt 2019. Cameroun takes matches against Nigeria very seriously with their players giving their best. The rivalry started in 1984 when Cameroun beat Nigeria 3-1 in the final of the 1984 Nations Cup. Four years later, in 1988, Nigeria had the opportunity to revenge but fell to Cameroun again in same stage – final – in controversial circumstances. Although Nigeria had upper hands in the meetings between the countries after than period, it was not in final matches. The two countries met again in the most critical stage of the tournament, final, at the 2000 edition hosted by Nigeria and Ghana, and, for the third time, Cameroun still gave the Eagles a bloodied nose in, again, controversial circumstances. This means, 3 out of the 5 times Cameroun has won the Nations Cup, it was at the expense of Nigeria. Although Nigeria has better head to head against Cameroun, Cameroun always got result in very crucial matches. Any game between Nigeria and Cameroun is war.

Head to Head Record
Nigeria wins – 12
Cameroun wins – 4
Draw – 7


2. Ghana

This West African derby is arguably the oldest rivalry in African football. The biggest defeat Nigeria has suffered in its national football team history was against Ghana (then Gold Coast), a 7-0 loss in 1955. That was when the rivalry started. In fact, Nigeria lost all, conceded 10 goals without scoring 1 in their first 4 encounters with Ghana. Although Nigerians take games versus Cameroun more seriously than versus Ghana, Ghana sees Nigeria as its biggest rival. Any match between the two countries is war, especially in the golden age of Nigerian football when footballers take national team assignment very seriously. The economic ties between the two countries, with citizens of each of them living in large number in the other, also fuels the rivalry. There is nothing friendly in any game between Nigeria and Ghana, even if it is called a friendly match. If you doubt that, go and watch the “friendly” game between the two countries in London in 2007, the first defeat Nigeria suffered in the hands of Ghana in 15 years prior to that game, and see how Ghanaians celebrated it. Another notable stunning clash between the countriesise the 3-0 loss by Ghana in Benin in 2001 in the Korea/Japan World Cup qualifiers. Ghana “pepper dem” Nigeria by dumping the Super Eagles out of Nations Cup in two consecutive editions – 2008 and 2010 – in quarter and semi final respectively, embarrassingly with 10 men in one of the clashes. Ghana has continued to have the upper hand against Nigeria in recent years, having not lost to Nigeria since 2006.

Although older Nigerians that witnessed the peak of the rivalry could relate more with the Ghana-Nigeria football rivalry, Internet has rekindled the rivalry among younger generation, especially the fans, in recent years, with fans of each country trolling each online.

The fact that Nigeria had gone to World Cup three times before Ghana made its first appearance also “pained” Ghanaians in the 1990s, but they have since been consoled by the fact they now have better world cup record, having gotten to quarter final which Nigeria never got to.

Head to Head Record
Nigeria wins – 10
Ghana wins – 21
Draw – 18

3. South Africa

Nigeria was absent in the 1996 and 1998 Nations Cup tournaments due to political reasons and South Africa has good outing in both tournaments, winning one. Many Nigerians believed that South Africa would not have won that Nations Cup if Nigeria featured given the squad Nigeria had at the time – winning Olympics in 1998 and topping a group that had Spain in France 1998. Not a few people believed Nigeria would have been unstoppable if they featured in those two Nations Cup. South Africans believed such utterances are a disrespect to them, that they would still have won the tournament even if Nigeria was there. The press and the people of both countries began to trade war of words over superiority. Thankfully, both countries met at the semi final of the 2000 Nations Cup and Tijani Babangida’s 2 goals for Nigeria settled the matter. Nigeria subsequently began to have upper hands over South Africa and South Africa went down in Nigeria’s rivalry consciousness, with several defeats. But the resurgence of the South African team in recent years, not losing to Nigeria in 5 encounters and even winning one in Nigeria, even stopping Nigeria from qualifying for AFCON in 2015, boosted their confidence and rekindled the rivalry, which made yesterday’s game a high octane one. Nigeria got the result.

Nigeria wins – 7
South Africa wins – 2
Draw – 5


Honourable mentions

4. Argentina

Although Argentines will laugh at being classified as a rival to Nigeria in football, Nigeria has an axe with that team after beating Nigeria in 5 meetings at the World Cup. To make it more painful for Nigeria, one of the wins was extremely convincing. Nigeria lost by a lone goal margin in each of the 5 encounters. Other than the game in Korea/Japan 2002 where the Argies dominated Nigeria from start to finish, even if they were able to score only 1 goal courtesy Gabriel Batistuta, Argentina have beaten Nigeria unconvincingly in the other encounters. Although Argentina’s traditional rivals are Brazil, Germany and England (in fact will see Nigeria as “customer dada ni”), Nigeria still has a score to settle with that country.

Head to Head Record
Nigeria wins – 2
Argentina wins – 6
Draw – 1

5. England

Nigeria has very long history with England being Nigeria’s colonialists. The fact that the English Premier League is highly followed in Nigeria, and many Nigerian players have played in their league also made England a very familiar country to Nigeria. Add the fact that there are many Nigerians living in the country and there are several footballers of Nigerian origin who have featured for the youth teams and you will understand the football relationship. There is a popular belief among Nigerians that England national team is crappy like Nigeria’s. Many Nigerian soccer fans will swear that the Three Lions are as bad as the Super Eagles and always looking forward for the opportunity to meet. Like Argentina, England does not see Nigeria as a rivalry the way it sees Germany or Argentina, many Nigerian football fans have an axe to grind with that country. Although Nigeria has only played England 3 times, the performance of the Super Eagles at the 1994 friendly between the two countries in Wembley gave Nigeria a lot of confidence. Many Nigerians are still not convinced England is bettter than Nigeria in football.

this Akah nana carry this matter for head like market

theButterfly:
Akah Nnnani is a stand up dude. Respect.

how?

he is an effeminate man. woman wrapper

The type of man that will abscond when a friend is down.

Imagine he was Jesus discple this one go pick race.. e 2 sure.

and now they are claiming holier than thou

PrecisionFx:
The ones that have apologised to Nigerian pastors after exposing them did so because they were forced to do so by the wolves in sheep clothing parading themselves as Nigerian pastors. All they keep doing is using Police n army n cash to threaten n intimidate their accusers to submission.

Women lie wella, men do too so that it gf drank bleach doesn't make it a 1 way thing.

A very very large chunk of Nigerian pastors are predators n it will keep happening because the church leadership keeps protecting them.

The Catholic church hid theirs for centuries until recently, we have now seen that child rape n homosexuality is quite popular in the Catholic church this spreads to Protestants n Pentecostal churches as well.

Some women are out there trying to seduce pastors.

Tempting pastor or ordinary men

Leonbonapart:
And this one call himself a Christian.

What happened to helping a wounded soldier.

No single love from today's Christians

The Lord truly know those that are his

Abi o even Jesus faced tribulation-all his disciples scattered.

Prime example is this fellow

Anything to trend......All this is social media drama.

You know some ppl will not be normal if there is not some kind of ongoing drama

KanuSE:
Guys telling their stories seems like downplaying rape?

Wow!

I hope Busola too is trying to downplay rape.

The unintended consequences seems to be bigger than the sex they had.

Does she have feelings for this pastor for him to be lingering in her mind for so long.

Houseofglam7:
I've said it before.
Rape is not gender specific.
Men get raped too and they are afraid to speak up as well....coz they're expected to be....oh well....MEN.
NO MEANS NO!
#ENDRAPE

Nigerians are using social media or internet like a magic wand to solve nature problem. It can never happen you need hands on ground . If someone rape u and u keep that info to itself for 20years.

You don’t share with police and now you have turned into hot news

Just because consensual sex didn’t not turn into relationship or being dumped after sex does not mean a woman was raped.

This set of eagles cannot function without victor moses. Unless someone takes that role they will lose the next match.

E get some situationa that a woman will seduce a man. All the man has a to do is touch.

They will lead u to the door and show u that u have unrestricted access.

After u done do finish and she is looking for relationship or gf stays meanwhile the man see free puna we are not dating.

The woman can claim rape according to all this social media ppl?

If scores remain 1-0 Nigeria will be 2nd in the group

Mikel shouters where una Dey?

mvem:
since you beileve someone can't be raped without a gun then you are a potential rapist yourself.....Cosby is in jail today for rape he did 30 years ago and the victims did not speak until that so many years...Do you know if a lady below the age of consent(in Nigeria it is 18) begs you for sex and you give in you can be persecuted for rape. Please relearn and don't carry this mentality outside, you might get into trouble

Donald trump was accused of rape and Harvey Weinstein’s etc

Some women pushed by men use a claim of rape to pull a man down.


If a pastor of a church rape you will you continue to go to the church?

If God want to destroy a nation na women e go use. Woman will use her puna to destroy a good leader so bad ppl can take overnight .


Watch Troy where brad Pitt was Achilles

This one na sexual scam, how can someone tell u to get naked for anointing and dem allow am bang u no be rape again.

It’s taking advantage of your stupidity

Advice to any woman in a rape situation: report as soon as it happens or else the perpetrator will go walk away.

Ladyhippolyta88:
If other women come out.
Then the pastor own na one chance.
Whether you choose to come back 30years after rape na rape. Some victims do not speak up because of lack of support system and fear in 1999 do you think she would have been believed if she came out a lot has changed since then.
Maybe she is just finding her voice.

For uni many girls speak up after rape and the case become police case and if the student is found guilty he is either rusticated or suspended plus beating from student union.

Ladyhippolyta88:
This comment of yours is truly silly.
Try not to be insensitive it takes a brave and supportive man to do this.
If she is a victim of rape then you have no idea the trauma this woman must have pass through no need justifying nonsense.
Only an idiot would try to trivalise rape and it's victims.

Whenever a woman says u a brave-it means the man is senseless.

ValCon888:
Thank you RMD.
This case made me realize many Nigerians lack empathy. The ability to put yourself in the shoes of the abused. Do you know what it means to be raped? To be sexually assaulted by the one person who's supposed to protect you?
Bukola Dakolo is a strong woman to speak up.
In saner societies the police would have promptly started investigations with helplines created to persuade more people to come forward.
For those saying there was consent:
Sleeping with a 17yr old girl is rape even if she says yes. This is because she lacks the legal capacity to give you consent.
Even in the United States, the only way a man 18 and above can sleep with a girl of 17 is if they started dating when he was also underaged. That relationship is protected under the Romeo and Juliet Laws.

.

Y wait 15 years or so after is the question?

Consensual sex turn into rape.

Can there be rape without physical assault?.

landmark86:
I still stand to be corrected
Why do people so much believe in Timi Dakolo and his wife?
Satan can deceive, he can use anyone for his glory.
Even Judas is used against Jesus, how much Timi & Busola.
Not that am supporting Fatoyibo but much surprise how much people seen Dakolo's has saints

Abi o even in the Bible joesph was falsely accused of rape.

According to the Book of Genesis 39:1–20, Joseph was bought as a slave by the Egyptian Potiphar, an officer of the Pharaoh. Potiphar's Wife tried to seduce Joseph, who eluded her advances. ... Citing his garment as evidence, Potiphar's wife falsely accused Joseph of having raped her, and he was sent to prison
