Armaggedon:
Sorry to say that Nigerian team isn't really good. They've been lucky so far with poor teams.

we played better than any other team...we have been poor on finishing..else we suppose kill angola. Lucky?? And we have only conceded one goal.

SGANIVA:
The truth is that this coach is doing nothing,the boys are just trying there best

then u no dy watch football..how can you say the coach is doing nothing

tiswell:
which goal did they scored against guinea-bissau?



Baba rest!

Any team that meets this present super eagles lackluster team next, will flog them mercilessly.

still waiting for that team

Beverlyjean:
Do u think Nigeria has played a strong team?? The only team that were prepared against us was Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau....those 2 games were our toughest games ... Cameroon wasn't prepared for this tournament and Ivory Coast were not themselves in the group stage ... Angola will actually be our first real test

which is the next test??cape verde

Mls is a joke...let saudi league play a team in brazil league

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 ??

johnog4sure:
No hating, but I read and I didn't see anything, what is she going to do for an AI company? If truly there's an endorsement 200M is small

200m small no doubt...atleast N2_5bill.

Gbadugbakun:
I'm sure if it was a southerner that made this statement and I called him out you wouldn't have given me a mention. This is the problem of Nigeria, we're always so quick to defend our tribesmen and religious acquaintance even when it's very obvious that they're in the wrong.

you commented with tribalism remarks.

izubext007:
So it's true that only senator's children and other political leaders children works in CBN and NNPC

nope!! Northern elite children. They buy this job slots with 8m_10m. Most of my northern friends have their wives working in CBN, PEMCOM, Towers, FIRS and nirsa. This peopld travel round the world.

Godfullsam:
You didn't mention NCC, NCAA, NISDAR, AMCON,SWT, DPR etc. Politicians have shared everything among themselves and their children.

biggest of them PEMCOM and nigeria defence .

Na una children full CBN

Na the 400 odds you want advertise...definitely someone will hit ur dm asking for code

50k per month with the suffer....meanwhile generals dey buy PJ

Free2Fly:
Why didn't you insist on them taking you to the station??

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

Addresser

If only eberechi eze and saka agreed to play for nigeria. Simon for remain inside france

Jeyun:
I believe you were still a kid then, sorry no insult.

Or likely you stay far from the south south.

They started by kidnapping expert rates, white men before moving to top black managers

Demanding for heavy ransom from the oil companies. If you are not influential in the oil industry you have no fars.

Average Nigerians were walking about freely unlike what we have today.

Today no one is spared.

you are sounding like someone that got all these informations from the media...did i say militants never kidnapped anyone?.....i lived around them and i have been caught in several cross fire involving militancy rivals/police. Militants knew their target but these bandits even a 5months old baby isnt safe.

On a layman terms na Yahoo boys dey survive Nigeria

muyico:
Niger Delta militant start all this!

how??Niger delta militants were not bloody as this bandits and herdsmen. The militants focused more on destroying oil facilities. They hardly destroyed villages or send their own people running

Interesting

Not just flyers...Chubby girls on Instagram now promote their pages through paid ads to get customers advertising themselves as masseurs

The mothers too shouldnt be close to their pastors

jmoore:
Where is your Tinubu? Emilokan for what?
Stop chasing shadows.

this is what the op is talking about..we dey focus on tribalism yoruba / igbo..igbo/ijaw etc. Fulani are busy taking over. You keep joking like this until it gets close to you. This fulani kidnapping spree must be stopped.

MetalJigsaw:
The man is unbeaten while defeating two African giants convincingly without conceding more than one goal una still dey yarn nonsense.

Give credit to whom its due...

Wait for who? Angola? Those ones are home already trust me

they are waiting until we beat angola. He has done so well

jlo247:
After we have won Angola that is when i will celebrate those players. Now I'm still Observing

you will still say after we win the semi final thats when you will celebrate

Hmm

Yahaya don bring him own style...office of the ex governor...i will assume democracy in nigeria is getting a new dimension.

If you follow africa coup trend...they always start up on a goodnote. Give them three years when they are now power drunk and watch how they will change immediately.

Like they will become a better nation. The various juntas are only trying to cement their office and to ward off any external threat. Dem go hear am,their citizens will need visa to enter Ghana, senegal and Ivory coast.

Beverlyjean:
We are actually overrating our team and it's very dangerous.... reason Brazil lost to Croatia in the WC ... we havnt played a really tough team... Cape Verde, Senegal, Morocco, Mali, Congo, Angola and this present ivory Coast will be a real test

we shall win angola..we will say same thing. Cameroun/ivory coast are not a tough team? We have conceded only one goal since group stage. No other team has achieved this..

Beverlyjean:
To be honest...the super Eagles would have lost to this particular ivory Coast team ... the spirit is different... seems like the pressure from fans have given then a different form ,energy and determination

big lies..we dey underrate our team. We are playing better and we can win senegal too.
