Sybellah: Group A was the group of death? Finally 3 out of 4 teams from A: Egypt, Senegal and CIV reached the semis

Angola i beg u let us win nau freaking scared for my team today :S

I thought you were Liberian?

kingoflag: lmao Sagamite give it up, abeg. I made my point all u can do is agree or disagree, E-Thugging won't do u nada. If u disagree state why u disagree. My position is clear, concise and to the point. I don't see why ure insistent on being a blockhead.

Me? Trying to change your mind?

You think that is all I am here trying to do? You think I am that cold-hearted to the point I have no empathy for the state of my fellow man?

No, mate. What I am trying to do is better than that.

I am helping you. I am doing what I do best. I am taking you through a self-realisation process.

I am making you finally realise what you are: A professional person.

I am sure by now you have reached that point:

kingoflag: Ummm dummy, I've never "lived" in Nigeria for an extended period. U can either go on ranting like a rabid coyote, or u can rebut my position. Obviously that's ur third world education and attitude in full action. Smh

You are a person!

I should rebut your position?

Is that how you passed in your school?

Your teachers taught you to give moronic opinions from your arsse without any evidence and then gave you 100%?

That is how you debated in your bastion of idiocy school? Everyone pulled crap from their arsses and you exchanged it?

Adejoro74: Off hand means without any aid, you olodo.

You are a person.

How can you be using an aid when you are reciting?

Is to recite not an activity that involves utilisation of the memory?

Cretin, so do you think people's memory are located in their hands?

Adejoro74: It is ''off hand'' not ''off head''.

You could also say ''by rote'', or ''off the top of their head'' (quite close sha)

Semi olodo dey talk about Olodo.

You are a person!

First of all, people don't recite off hand. Cretin, do you think people's memory are in their hands?

Secondly, "off head" is a commonly used casual short form of ''off the top of their head''.

I bet those 1m kids can recite the Quran off head.

Cretins!

asha 80: guy you still dey nairaland?...missed those cretin,person insults.

Hey, bruv. You Good? I just re-engaged about 4 days ago after a while ago.

[quote author=2s£xy]I am outrightly confused by what he wrote...

King, please elucidate... [/quote]He pulled opinions full of conjectures and delusions from the deepest labyrinth of his arsse, how the fck did you expect to understand?

kingoflag: Well, for one I'm not in Law Enforcement, and even if I was my jurisdiction definitely wouldn't stretch that far. Since you're obviously a helmet-on-the-yellowbus kind, I'll indulge you. We all agree that GeJ is corrupt and in normal climes he would be punished for his crimes against the state. In Nigeria, GEJ is riding the wave of discord and enmity by pitting tribes that have previous grievances against each other by stoking the flames, this is the main way he has been able to stay in power. Nigerians are not dunces and most of them know they deserve better, even amongst his most vociferous supporters; the Igbos. But an historical distrust of the Nigerian state is being used to its fullest advantage by the Nigerian President.I never said other tribes are not guilty of tribalism, I've stated this severally, all I'm saying is in the present dispensation the President's life line has been the Igbos. Any discerning person knows that Nigeria is one-wrong-match-tossed-in-gasoline away from an all out civil strife. The powers that be know it, the President knows this and he's used it to his advantage, his wife has used it several times, his subordinates use it all the time. That's all I said. Go back and read it.

You are a person!

So these bunch of moronic conjectures you pulled from your cretinous arsse is your evidence Igbos are stopping you from arresting GEJ?

You are a cretinous product of a failed education system.

Are these the kind of junk conjectures you used to pass from school in Nigeria? And you think you can bring such junk to a public forum?

Before I even moronically destroy your dumb arsse but stating simple facts you appear not to know, let me toy with you a bit.

Explain to me how GEJ is "pitting tribes" against each other. How is he "stoking the flames"?

How is the "historical distrust of the Nigerian state being used to its fullest advantage by the Nigerian President"?

collynzo2: Armchair coach, the players were tired. It was there for all to see! You need strength to implement tactics. This tournament was poorly organised.

You are person.

If you can play 35 to 48 mins of running about, you can spin once in a while.

Spinning does not take such gigantic energy.

Another thing was that Naija players were too predictable. They played vanilla.

I did not see them twist and spin to lose someone. Just simple passing to team mates and accelerating sometimes is what they did.

Many times when the Senegalese were defending a pass, a spin would have got our player to lose the defender and be free on the basket because the Senegalese had a tendency to defend against a pass rather than the net.

hisswagness: Dnt evn knw who 2 blame sef...uzoh wastes ball wen it matters most

They killed us with 3 pointers.

And we were wasteful with free throws.

All Senegal did that was notable today were 3 pointers and fouls.

The former they did well, the latter we did not exploit.

Senegal wins!

25 seconds to go.

Nigeria just needs one basket to win.

If not, they lose.

Tension dey carry both bench!

See what happens when you move the ball faster. Well done, Diogu!

Nigeria really need to move the ball faster when they have it.

How are you going to carry a 6ft 10 guy that weighs about 300 pounds.

Ndoye go kill us o!

king94: All but two of d members of our present squad were born abroad.Only Stanley Gumut plays in d Nigerian basketball league.Ayo Bakare has done a gud job in makin nigerians based in d diaspora play 4 us.The Angolan league might be better than ours BUT our present crop of players are better than theirs

I know.

But I think the present Angolan team can beat them.

Sagamite: A person like this with a poor education and poverty that has affected the nourishment and development of his brain will never get it.

The cretin does not know why he is "paying hard" for his MBs.

Apart from his poverty, it is also because of his government and nation that could not give a shiiit about him as I stated below in an earlier post and the Oyinbo stated by saying Nigerians want 100% of everything. What Nigeria mainly offers is negativity in your life.



In GREAT Britain, you will never be paying hard. Why?

1) Because you are richer.

2) Because the government gives a shiiit about you. No company can come and be charging you money anyhow they feel. The government would be on their case. They have set up structures, systems and processes to make life easy, fair and just for its people.

They have set up bodies like the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), the Competition Commission (CC), Office of Communications (Ofcom) and Ombudsman Services (with an office for Telecoms). Note these are examples for the Telecoms industry, other bodies would exist for other industries. With a combination of these bodies, dem no born any company or industry well to think they can just come to GREAT Britain and milk the people. The government would be on their case like hawks and eagles ready to tear them apart. GREAT Britain is not like your Nigerian Shithole where the government officials are probably part of the shareholders telling them to finish you because they want 100%.

3) Apart from government establishments, there will also be numerous Consumer Advocacy bodies (like "Which?" or the Citizens Advice Bureau) arguing for the citizens and pressuring the firms to reduce their charges.

4) The industry body of the firms itself would also be the one telling them to reduce your cost and increase the quality of service because that is the culture.

The difference between GREAT Britain's social philosophy and the shithole called Nigeria is:

"GREAT Britain does everything possible to make its citizens life as easy as possible without breaking capitalism rules too much. Shithole Nigeria does everything possible to make its citizens life as frustrating as possible without breaking human rights laws too much."

But this person is proud of Nigeria.

"AHHH, WE ARE GIIIAAAANT OF AFRICA"

Cretin!

EVIDENCE!!!

This is what I was telling that person called Chinom earlier.

GREAT Britain is not like the shithole called Nigeria. The government cares about people and you can't come and be milking people.

In the next 2 years, they will tear these companies apart. Break them up into smaller bits and create an atmosphere where the bits have to compete with each other, hence driving prices down.

Listen to my favourite business journalist, Robert Peston:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23862212

What would be the remedies?

"Well, it [the Competition Commission] recommends forced sales of [the private] hospitals where this would improve competition - and its preliminary view is that these divestitures should be by HCA in London and by BMI and Spire elsewhere.

Such mandated disposals would be fatuous where a hospital has a total local monopoly, in that this would simply transfer ownership of the monopoly. So it wants to limit the pricing power of the bigger hospital groups by forcing them to negotiate deals with insurers on a hospital-by-hospital basis, rather than nationally."

GREAT Britain!!!

CFCfan: Going by the law of averages, I know that one day D'Tigers will overcome their Angolan hoodoo; just like the Super Eagles overcame their Cameroonian hoodoo in football.

Cameroun dey fire our yansh anytime they meet us for ANC final na, and dem don win more ANC than us.

I don't see us overcoming Angola anytime soon. They simply dominate and are that good.

The only way we can overcome them soon is to drastically review our funding and reward programme for basketball so we can attract the best Nigerian-American basketballers to play for Nigeria.

The thing there is that outside the NBA and some few major Europe-based basketball leagues (Spain, Italy, Russia and Greece), many basketball players don't make alot of money.

In America, if you are not in the NBA, the next layer of leagues (minor leagues) hardly pay you over $30K per year.

In Europe, only the top elite players get paid top pay, which are effectively the equivalent of lower paid NBA players ($1.3m). Majority of average and lower paid basketball players in Europe hardly make over $300K. Many less than $100K.

So if Nigeria was to reward players with roughly maximum $50K (if they win tournaments) to play for the national team annually, we would increase and improve the talent of players coming to play for us. That is big money to many basketballers.

We cannot compete with Angola because they have a far better local league than us. The only place we have advantage is the immense number of Nigerians in diaspora, of whom many are in America borning kids. Angola cannot compete with us on that, and many lower leagues in the US are better than Angolan league.

Maybe even with that chicken change and improved successes, we could have attracted some NBA players like: Hakeem Olajuwon, Emeka Okafor, Andre Ighuodala etc.

akintun: Tunisia are d defending champion

AAG stands for All African Games.

Tunisia are champions of Afro-Basketball Championships.

The first is like Olympics, the second is like World Cup.

kingoflag: Instead of bleating all over NL like a Heroin induced billy goat, maybe u need to go back and read what I wrote before throwing tantrums like 45yr old woman experiencing hot flashes.

You are a person!

Tell us how are Igbos stopping you from arresting GEJ?

collynzo2: Aren't they 'fucktards' or 'cretins'?

They are not you na.

Aggrippa: to God who made me I swear you are highly talented in writing!! you are too good highly technical. mehn your level of reasoning is far above majority of the fellas here including myself.

Thanks, bruv.

I throway salute.

londoner: Cheers....how did you do that btw?

Na section moderator na.

londoner: [b][/b]

Well we are describing the same thing, just at different stages.

If it was government alone, counteries that have sane and principled governments would not have any citizen who does not reflect its good values.

I dont disagree with what you are saying, but I think we under estimate parental stewardship.

Why would a man when he gets to adult age, not dine with thieves, if he has grown up seeing it?

Some even in the home.

I'm sure we all know, that you dont have to go as far as the president or the rich politician to see corruption.

It a way of life for many people in Nigeria, even children.....In fact in many cases if you are not corrupt when the opportunity arises for you to gain from it, your own family will tell you you are a fool.

I really doubt that our politicians were all honest men and women right up until the day they got into the corridoors of power.


They would have seen corruption way before that.

You are right, we are creatures of habit and we follow what we see most often, whther it is homosexuality or bribery etc. If people are following the dishonest way, its because that makes up the majoriy of what they have seen and heard, especially in their formative years.

It is everywhere you look....From the child, to the pupil, to the house help, to the lecturer, to the doctor to the president......All play their part and many feel overhwhelmed by the EXPECTATION of corruption in all its forms and go against a mighty sea to walk the honest path.

If people had examples of honesty and uprightness in the overwhelming majority of those around them

You are right but that is why I said:

"Furthermore, as long as this is the value system being set by the leaders for the society, majority of parents would not instil values that heavily differ and which would make their kids uncompetitive in the society. They will teach them values that makes them succeed and rewarded in their [criminal] society ESPECIALLY in a society with limited/tiny rewards (low alternatives) and where winner takes all like Nigeria."

I have always said it several times (and it is not arrogance, it is an observable fact) that a vast majority of people on Earth are fucktards, so you would be demanding too much of them to teach their wards something different from the pervading and extant value system.

Why?

Because:

1) Fucktards struggle to have independent thinking. They just follow. They are not used to thinking or exercising their brain, nor do they feel like doing such.

2) Fucktards do not have the intellectual rigour to devise upbringing solutions to teach their kids to overcome and subvert the wrong values and still be successful in the society. Such solutions would require thinking through very complex issues. Too complex for their brain. So they just go for the easy: that is imitate, not innovate.

3) Furthermore, a model where you don't have to compete on merit would sound and feel enticing to fucktards. Fucktards feel more comfortable with non-meritorious social models because they can get more from it than they would get from meritorious societies. Hence sub-consciously, they are more willing to accept and embrace the dysfunctional and dishonest society.

It is not only in Africa you have fucktards. Fucktards are in the UK too, we only do not see it that much because they are well trained and groomed to follow leaders that care.

That said, you will observe fucktards in the UK following the whole liberal thing. "Everything goes" is the philosophy to show one is liberal and progressive, irrespective of the lack of logic and the indirect consequences and problems it causes.

I was laughing recently when Gove (Education Secretary) said that Teachers should teach students respect as children are giving people no respect in society.

Really?

After the fcking liberals destroying the country are the ones that killed the logic of kids respecting adults? It was "fashionable" and "cool" when it was suggested and adopted na. Which teachers are going to teach them respect? The same ones that the kids have been taught to lose respect for and some few would not hesitate to slap?

ow11: I noticed the team always finish strongly. The team is very fit and should pick up a medal at this tournament. The main contenders are Angola and Tunisia but since Tunisia has gone home, maybe Egypt.

Angola is to African Basketball what Brazil is to football or even, to put it more potently, they are the USA of African basketball.

Nigeria can avoid them till the finals, so there is really very little excuse not to take a medal as things stand. Nigeria is the second strongest Basketball team on paper in Africa. Egypt, Ivory Coast and Tunisia follow.

Egypt is looking very weak.

Ivory Coast would have to go through Angola to meet Nigeria.

Tunisia has already been knocked out.

Nigeria needs to beat Senegal and then Egypt/Cape Verde. They really have little excuse not to get to the finals.

kingoflag: Not if the rest of the country calls the bluff of the Igbos and insists on good governance. The problem with Nigeria is everyone pretends and tries to be politically correct: nobody likes the truth. I have never seen a more pretentious society. The truth is Igbos are the ones encouraging this madness whereby mediocrity and impunity by a Govt shunned and disrespected by the rest of the world is encouraged. They are doing it based on their historical vendetta against the Nigerian State. Cutting their nose to spite their face and in the process making everyone just as ugly as them. I can list at least 100 treasonable crimes GEJ has committed yet the only reason he's not in prison like he deserves to be is because of the East: And thats the plain truth! Until the rest of Nigeria gets together and refuses to accept the emotional blackmail, screeches and overall attitude of encouraging the continuance of bad governance foisted on the rest of the country based solely on tribe which the Igbos appear intent on imposing on them, then there's no hope for that country. Either NIGERIA does away with tribal based politics--- starting with GEJ--- or they prepare for an inevitable civil war. Its history, u can't have ur cake and eat it. Pressure eventually bursts pipes, and Nigeria's is on the verge of violent explosion.

You are a person!

How are Igbos stopping you from arresting GEJ?

Cretin!

collynzo2: What is whole about you? You are just a cheap internet warrior, you still haven't posted facts to back up your assertions that white coaches are better or work harder than African coaches or that Ahmed Musa is senseless. All you do is post cheap insults, trust me, I can do much better with a larger collection of poisionous words than 'person' and 'cretin', but when I look at your insults, all it makes me do is laugh.

You are a person!

I asked you: is invention how to measure intelligence what you were taught in your failed education system?

Goke7: NO, it is you and Tom Sainfeit that are both ......... [fill in the gap] a.fuctards b.stuuupid c.moronic d. cretin

Any of the above options suit you both.

Shut up, person!

I hope you have learnt your lesson.

Chongaiman: Prince of Fucktardry, Dey show urself! a WHOLE SAGAMITE NONENTITY! U NO DEY TIRE?! Wetin u dey find outside ur house? Run back to your sexuality section.

Which person are you again?

Reintroduce your cretinous self.

collynzo2: No, ability to insult people online is how to measure intelligence.

Goke7: With all these repetitions it also looks like you repeated classes in school and you say you are intelligent? wao!

You see. You are both fucktards!

Think before you make public statements. Don't make statements you cannot defend and then think you can attempt a strawman to change topic when debating with a WHOLE SAGAMITE!

Una no dey fear?

Abi you are that stuuupid?
