Uruguay have one foot in the knockout stage after beating Nigeria, 2-1.

This was a matchup of what had been two underwhelming sides in their first matches. Nigeria looked sloppy against an overmatched Tahiti, and Uruguay offered little to stop Spain. Both were looking to get a critical win, especially given each side's next respective opponent.

It was Uruguay who struck first.

In the 19th minute, Diego Forlan got on the left flank and delivered in a low cross. Edinson Cavani looked to attempt a backheel but whiffed. The pass instead landed at the feet of Diego Lugano, who completely scuffed the shot attempt, but it went into the goal anyway. You don't get points for creativity, so that goal counts all the same.

It was very poor defending from Nigeria as they didn't clear the corner kick and failed to properly mark either Cavani or Lugano.

John Obi Mikel leveled the scoring in the 37th minute. It was a nice piece of dribbling after Mikel received the pass from Brown Ideye. He looked to be taking a shot with his right foot but put it onto his left and fired it into the back of the net.

After the goal, Uruguay started to lose their hold on the match. They looked shaky at the back at times and didn't create much going forward. It was the shell they crawled into against Spain as well.

Halftime couldn't come early enough for the Uruguayans. Luckily they only had to look at a 1-1 draw rather than a losing deficit.

Uruguay went back ahead courtesy of Forlan. He's long been the engine for Uruguay, but he can't do it at 34 anymore. He is, however, still capable of scoring the occasional wondergoal.

On his 100th cap for Uruguay, Forlan was running on goal down the left. You would think that any near-post effort would be knocked away. Instead, Forlan hit it so high and hard that Vincent Enyeama had no chance.

###Sorry I had to put the links to the page where I saw the video here. And as a side note, if you know how to insert video clip into article on dis forum, please share with me.... Enjoy the great goals, I like the one by Mikel Obi though

@seunfly, that's the point "We all must av one goal" even the bible makes it so clear, "Can two walk together except the agree (unity on purpose)?" but we live today in a Nigeria whr evry one goes into politics with their selfish ambition. Even those making the law placing themselves b4 d Masses. Righteousness exalts a nation, sin is a reproach to any people (Proverb 14:34)

kkkp: Hahahah wake up o! Even devil sef don wake up

Are U saying its not visible? common come off it jor.... iBelieve

Tega Omofurieta is a 19years old boy from Emevor in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta state.

Tega took ill last year and was diagnosed recently this year, February 2013 to be precise, at the Delta State University Teaching hospital, Oghara of Chronic Kidney Disease (Chronic Glomerulonephritis) meaning his two Kidneys are no longer functioning.

He has been living on Dialysis since then, but the Doctors have advice that he needs to go for an urgent Kidney Transplant in India to save his life.

The mother, Mrs Roseline Omofurieta has closed down her business because of this illness and presently is on debt row, so as to pay for the dialysis at least once every week instead of three times a week prescribed by the Doctors

The purpose of this appeal therefore is for financial assistance to the tune of N6,000,000 (Six Million Naira) to enable Tega undergo the Kidney Transplant in India.

For the past months, Tega cannot pass out urine, he can't eat what others are eating and can't even lie down to sleep.

Please we are appealing to all Nigerians and beyond , let us come together to save Tega's life because a cup of water you give today will definitely come back to you.

Your little donation can save Tega's life.

You can reach Tega through his mum's line 08065615158 and you can give your donation using the following account details.

Siena: Oh, I forgot to ask - are there any potential kidney donors yet?

The Minister of State for Education, Nyeson Wike, has denied the Federal Government scrapping of NECO and JAMB sequel to a recent report which generated mixed reactions amidst stating that the recommendations as contained in the Steve Oransaye report had been adopted.
Mr. Wike made the disclosure during a meeting with the Senate Committee on Education, Thursday, in Abuja.

The Minister who appeared alongside the ministry’s Permanent Secretary,
Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde and head of NECO, Promise Opala, stated that the Federal Government had at no point given a directive for the scrapping of the examination bodies.
He explained that the report about the Federal Government scrapping of NECO and JAMB was a calculated ploy by “mischief makers” to destabilize government by overheating the polity.
He said: “There was no time that this government scrapped NECO or JAMB; it is unfortunate. I do not know where anybody got that information.
“What I want to assure is that whatever will be done will be done in the interest of Nigerians.
“The ministry of education supports the existence of NECO and JAMB, but what people should know is that the Oronsaye committee said why should we have NECO when we have WAEC.”
The Minister of State for Education further pointed that the Federal Government could not possibly on its own scrap both bodies without recourse to the National Assembly over an amendment of the law.
“For government to scrap, there will be an amendment sent to the Senate. Where all these rumours are coming from we don’t know,” Wike added.
