Ofodirinwa:
lol, sure.

I dont think Nigerians have any business taking sides in a conflict where they cannot and do not benefit from unless they find a way to collectively benefit from it. Countries lobby a lot of money and resources to other countries for support, but not to Nigerians and other africans because stupidly we always think something involves us, pick a side, and become passionate about somebody else's fight.

The US is not fighting 'terrorists' either. Jews (Who are polish/lithuanian/german/ukrainian) surveyed Igboland and Uganda as places to build a state of Israel. That where all the dumb 'igbos are jews' propaganda came from. Had they choose Igboland we would be hearing about how Nigerians (even non-Igbo) are terrorists for fighting or opposing the white settlers. But luckily none of this happened.


Stop watching CNN international. It's trash
what you said is trash though
..the israel/palestine feud didnt start today. The palestine's are not tagged terrorist but Hamas. Suprisingly CNN are more informed than you. CNN is pro israel and al jazeera is pro hamas/gaza. You have to balance the both and also source from underground outlets. Read more to know how germans and other european countries have jews amongst them.

True, but winning matters more for a competition such as this.

Mumu, it's not just about the goals. His movement off the ball creates spaces for the likes of Lookman. Arm chair analyst with zero football knowledge.
why is ronaldo/messi the best so far as forwards because of their goals. We should stop deceiving ourselves with this he makes the defenders to follow him thereby creating space for others. If he possesses only this feature has as a striker i dont think he will play for napoli. Goals goals goals thats what he needs to do.
Modified: as a striker movement off the ball is not an important ability, but finishing / first touch. Which osimhen has lacked in this afcon. One goal in this afcon tournament is a poor stat for osimhen it doesnt mean that he is generally a poor striker.

it's not the goals that matter. His presence can make two or three players useless in the opposition team as they will be busy holding him down and others will be able to score.

That's how important quality players are
goal matters as a striker...

Tesenak20:
Clemence Westerhof was Assistant Coach at Feyenoord Rotterdam and some time later the Coach of Vitess Arnhem in The Netherlands before he was hired in 1989 to Coach Nigeria. He brought in Bonfrere Jo in 1991 to assist him having previously worked with him in the Netherlands.
Late Stephen Okechukwu Keshi had qualified To go for the 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP, Coached Mali from 2008-2010 before Coaching Nigeria from 2011-2014.

Our highest profile Coach ever is not Jose Peseiro but Hans-Hubert "Berti" Vogts who took Germany to 2nd place at Euro 92, QUARTER-FINALS at USA 94 FIFA WORLD CUP, Won the EURO 96 Tourney for Germany whilst Coaching the likes of Oliver Bierhoff and a 2nd FIFA WORLD CUP QUARTER FINALS EXIT at FRANCE 98. He won the FIFA world CUP as a player in 1974.

ONE MAY ASK WHAT POINT AM I MAKING?
CORRECT INFORMATION AND CONSTRUCTIVE ASSERTIONS ARE NECESSARY WHEN RELATING WITH THE PUBLIC.

Of a truth you don't need to have won any trophy (e.g Herve Renard before Coaching Zambia) before you are appointed a National Team Manager as some take 2years to get their rhythm. However, you ought to have a defined style that delivers results after a year at most.
Peseiro may not have started brightly and may not have discovered many players but so far he has given Nigerians something to cheer defensively and we pray he caps it with lifting the AFCON TROPHY on his 1st attempt.
berti vogts got a high profile on international level...but guy check peseiro c.v. He has literally touched everywhere. Real madrid as assistant coach...porto coach two times. Etc

All those middle east pro gaza and terrorist supporters should understand that U.S is the world police and 21st century Empire, the same way ottoman empire ruled europe and most of the world. After 9/11, the u.s primary target has always been to eliminate terrorist, especially in the middle east. And the only way they can achieve this/maintaining their world power is by having bases close to the middle east. Hurt one u.s soldier and collect wotowoto.

PoliticsRe: ECOWAS Exit: How Benin Republic Is Sabotaging Nigeria by ruggedtimi(m): 8:03am On Feb 02, 2024
IamAtikulate:
It pains me when I see people dismissing Niger's exit from ECOWAS. Their argument has always been that the move will hurt Niger more than Nigeria since they depend largely on Nigeria for their imports.

This would have been true if Benin Republic is not sabotaging Nigeria and ECOWAS.

Here's the back story:

Niger's military ceased power Q4 of last year. ECOWAS moved in to restore constitutional order. As part of efforts to squeeze the junta to return power to elected government, Nigeria-led ECOWAS imposed several sanctions, including shutting their borders.

The two most prominent faces were that of Nigeria and Benin presidents.

But December 28, Benin unilaterally lifted all suspensions on imported goods transiting to Niger through the Cotonou port. This was about a month after Niger competed the Niger - Benin pipeline that will allow them export their crude reserve through the port.

Fast forward to January 2024, Niger pulled out of ECOWAS.

Meaning?

Benin deceived Nigeria to shut its borders against Niger, on the pretense it was standing with ECOWAS resolution against Niger. And then goes around to open their borders to the same Niger, effectively isolating Nigeria.

Here's the catch.

In 2022, Niger exported USD 1.256 billion in goods, and imported USD 3.802 billion. With this move, Benin has succeeded in isolating Nigeria's ports from handling Niger's annual USD 5 billion international trade. That's not even all. The same year, Nigeria imported $33.43m worth of goods and exported goods worth $192.91m to Niger.

Now, use your calculator to see the amount of money we are about to lose due to this misguided geopolitics.

Besides, Benin treachery means we are now completely surrounded by unfriendly neigbours - Benin in the West, Niger in the North and Cameroon in the east.

Now, what if Niger decides to build dam across the Niger River to generate electricity? Nigeria now lacks leverage and non-kinetic deterrence.

While our president was busy shouting "constitutional order," our Benin neighbours were busy working behind the scene to strength their relationship with Niger Republic and completely isolate Nigeria.

The most painful thing is remedying this problem will not be a walk in the park. First, importing through Benin is far cheaper and the distance from Apapa to Niamey is about 36 KM longer than from Cotonou port to Niamey.

We have lost Niger and their trade FOEVER.

Well done, Tinubu.
what are we using the money for ??

You cowardly wasted your 20,000 naira

The last time i had issues with the police over by car colour, I insisted on us going to court to decide it, as the police doesn't have the powers to pass judgement and apportion punishment

It's the court's responsibility to conclude that the colour of my car is different from that on the papers, not the police's and i made it clear to them.

You guys should stop being cowards, please.
car color matter different from drug matter...i have personally experienced police detained a guy over card of vega. He was acting stubborn/refusing to pay which was the right thing to do. But you need to see how those men rough handled the guy. Omo no enter the wrong police trap all this court grammar go run
