Even oliseh was one of the most indiscipline players in Nigerian football, but he played ahead of more disciplined but less talented players.

Maradona, ronakdinho, Neymar are not even what you call disciplined players.

They partied and drank alcohol like fishes.
It didn't stop them from achieving greatness.

Talent is supreme. It doesn't hide.

frowland:
The bolded sentence is a fallacy though.

It's a statement of fact.

Greatness does not come out of thin air.

Messi and Ronaldo are the greatest right now because they are the most talented of their generation, just like maradona and Ronaldinho were the most talented of their own generation.

Yes, we have some players like Frank Lampard who may not be as talented but pushed to excellence through hardwork and discipline, but generally in football, the biggest talents are the greatest players.

frowland:
You only mentioned the names of people who went on to become great. The article is talking about RAW TALENT that is being wasted due to work ethics. Its debatable though but I do not see anything wrong with his assertion seeing that he is a professional so knows much more than me in that area.

Most players that became great had the biggest raw talents.

The North does not have the highest concentration of talents or they would dominate our youth teams who most of the time are coached by northern coaches.
That is where I disagree with the man. Yes, There are talents in the north being wasted just like in many parts of Nigeria.
But they are not the most talented in the country.

They can't even dominate the domestic football scene who are often populated by the regional indigenes.

Enyimba and Rangers are the two most successful teams in Nigerian club football.

trapQ:
Seems like you think you're in the Stone age.

Just for your information, Mike Adenuga's son's babymama fought for her kid and gained custody. Guess what? He kidnapped the child while at school one day and is currently facing kidnap charges.

I pity you if you think you can take any child away from her mother when the mother is not an illiterate.

It depends.

First and foremost, Mike adenuga girlfriend was from a well to-do home as well.
She could fight money with money and get good lawyers.
How many Nigerian women have that kind of advantage?

Even then, it is not set in stone that the court will award the female, custody of the kids.
Yes, they have the advantage but it is not always so.

The man will unravel a few damaging marital secrets about the wife to the courts and he will win.

It's just that most of the time, men don't even want the stress of taking care of the children.
So they just release them without a fight.

Vyolet:
We know some things don't work in Nigeria, but cases of who takes child custody when there is separation is always well taken care of in Nigeria.
In most cases, the woman always gets custody while the man pays certain amount monthly for the child upkeep.

The woman will need to go court for that to happen
How many women have the funds and patience for court wahala?

Most times the men willingly relinquished the control just to be free.
That is why you see a lot of single women with kids.

If the man decides that you are not going anywhere with his kids, he will fight you to the end.

olaolaking:
That is not true. Since they started dominating, we have not been doing well

Igbos have always dominated.
From the 80s to the 90s to now.

Even the national team that placed 5th in the world was dominated by igbos.

Can you tell me any point in our history Yoruba dominated the football scene?

umarshehu58:
Because of tribalism. They don't want to bring Northerners into NFF. Or are you telling me there are no better footballers in the North since the time of Kanu and co?

Oh! I forgot your hatred for Northerners has eaten up your brain

There are no better footballers in the north.
Just one or two can make the grade, generation after generations.

At least you can't call gernot rohr or westerhof a tribalist.

Don't come and ruin football for us the way you guys destroyed NNPC

IamPatriotic:
Somehow, he may be correct considering the exploit of Daniel Amokachi, Tijani Babangida and Garba Lawal.....even Ahmed Musa

None of them is as talented as oliseh, let alone the greats like the kanus, keshi, okocha of this world.

There is football in Nigeria, but sorry, it is not strongest in the north.

KidsNEXTdoor:
Buhari is the new face of poverty

The man who makes being poor look sexy

Riches and wealth is evil and signifies corruption

Buhari will rather bring more people to poverty than out of it

This is buhari in totality. He makes poverty look sexy.
After all, the vast majority of his supporters are poor illiterates so he wouldn't mind if the whole of Nigeria joins them.

munas:
Take them and leave for where?

You think if they divorce,then the man will be allowed to keep the children abi?

All these nairaland children self.

Any little thing go away,drive her,divorce her ,do DNA....bla bla bla rubbish.


Marriage is more than keeping a woman at home to Bleep as you wish.

[right][/right]
The woman will take his children in this Nigeria?
I agree. You are as naive as a child.

Stick to watching Hollywood movies and don't bother with issues beyond you.

You know nothing.

On a normal circumstances, I would ask you to take your children and leave once you are strong.

But in this case, it would be a very hasty decision. She has stuck around when you were at your lowest, she deserves the benefit of the doubt that she is just frustrated.

Sit with her and have a heart to heart talk with her.

Give her the opportunity to bear her mind. It would tell you if the marriage is salvageable.

kernniejay:
I'd rather drive an overused imported car than ride in a brand new coffin.

That is what I said.
You cannot afford that brand new "coffin" which your FG is buying.

You are of all men most pathetic.

Sex tape no dey move us again.

Rickyuzzy:
This is not about name calling... Spread d message. All regions are involved.
I am igbo between

BTW does not mean between.
It means "by the way".

Wrong.

He only needs to be a party man, ensure tinubu and the other god fathers get their due share and he would win again.

badman007:
You rather buy Toyota. what have we gained for all our years of patronising second hand card from abroad?

He can't even afford innoson.

That is why he is looking for an overused Toyota.

kernniejay:
Igbos are famous for producing fake, Innoson went ahead and produced fake Toyota vehicles. All I see here are counterfeit Hilux and Hiace.
Igbos and fake products are like Aba and fake shoe.

And I am sure the vast majority of properties and items you use are aba made.

Unproductive empty vessel. See his mouth like "fake products".

As if your forefathers can do half of this.

OPTIMUSPRIME08:
i wan bet they will beat ajax

The only thing as sure as death and taxes is that Spurs are spursy.

Bet on them at your own risk. Don't bet what you can't afford to lose o.

A sad day for English hopes in the champions league.

Aguero should be docked a month's pay. if he had converted that penalty last week, city would not be out today.

Fuccking Spurs. I can bet my money that Ajax will beat them.
They lose when it matters most.

BuhariAdvocate:
Fake news. Aso rock is not anyone father house .its free for every Nigerians ..even presidency can't ban opposition not even talk on senator akpabio.

This one must believe buhari is George Washington.

Spurs are just spoilers.
They will always spur things up when it matters most.

Release this ticket to Manchester City and fucck off.

ReeLoaDead:
Exactly, La Liga table is always Barca/RM/AM .... for the last seven seasons. No change - quite boring. All revenue just go to the big two making them super teams in the world. If you enjoy that - then that’s your (limited) choice.

Imagine if just two teams get the bulk of the revenues in England.

They would be virtually untouchable in the football world.

It would be like having two teams with twice the revenues of Real Madrid in a big league.

na so dem go dey spread legs like rumour collecting sperm here and there from fellow idiots like them.

Just look at this poor child. A soul that Christ died for.

CAN'T WE OBSERVE OUR PRODUCE AND PRODUCT IN PEACE?

JEALOUSY! JEALOUSY!

OK

ekestic1976:
In Yorubaland, the properly raised youth don't talk down on elders. They respect them no matter the infraction committed by the elders. When a youth raises his voice to abuse elders, two things must have happened to him whilst growing up. One, either his parents were too busy to train him or, two, he was too busy doing his own thing to bother about home training. You must have encountered one or both of these scenarios, explaining why you must talk about your elder and your president to boot, this way.

The respect your parent taught you in Yoruba land must be very selective, because Jonathan as an elder was disrespected by Yorubas more than any other people.
Otueke fisherman title came from the south west, but I guess he was not running with osibanjo so he doesn't deserve respect.

Yorubas are so respectful that the south west is more developed than the UK filled with disrespectful children.

No be only respect.

Guy stop this nonsense na.

What is political about this? Are you pimping your sisters?
And some fools will think you represent igbos.

Buhari said all these?

I doubt it.

maybachmusic:
i taya

De Gea , etc

so much noise in EPL

.
Why are you jealous?
The epl is the most watched league in the world

Tell your Spanish people to imitate them.

As for now, the only interesting game in la liga is El classico.

City needs to score one more abeg.

We need a strong representative to face Barcelona.

Chimaokigwe:
Igbo girls no dey use eye see Yoruba boys, they must lose their home training.

This is the nonsense Bianca did to FFK that made that lunatic insult Igbos.

Look at Alex of BBN. That wawa prostitute was following Tobi like a fly until he parted her red sea.

Now, this Uriel is disgracing her lineage over a Yoruba boy.

Them take Yoruba boys swe ar for all these girls?

Hoes are looking for money and this one think they are looking for the average Yoruba guy.

Do you know how many nollywoood actresses igbo male marketers and producers have slept with?

Anyway, who am I to come between a Yoruba man and delusion.?

Ye are gods among women.

Misslagbaja:
Since when did husbands turn to handbags that can be snatched by thieves?

Stop being a slowpoke.
