This is not biblical. The Bible says none shall lack her mate (Isaiah 34:16), and let every woman have her own husband (1 Corinthians 7:2) . So, as long as anyone desires marriage, he/she is meant to have it. Some don't desire it, and that's fine too.

You are quoting scripture but I'm talking reality. The number of marriageable men and women is not balanced. In many societies, women significantly outnumber men. Add to that factors like early deaths of men, wars, imprisonment, migration, wokeness/liberalism, sociocultural barriers etc and you'll realize there's a mismatch in the dating pool.

So even when people may desire to get married, the demography will constitute a hindrance to it, and it'd never happen for some.

Not all women will get married. Ditto men.

Even if those points are docked by FIFA, then what? At this stage, how does it benefit us? Are we seriously expecting South Africa to lose to either Rwanda or Zimbabwe?

This 3-point deduction stuff was more interesting when we hadn't played SA yet and there was a chance we would actually win all out remaining matches. Right now I find it hard to be excited about it. Should they deduct it? Obviously yes, if they don't want to appear shady and commit robbery in broad daylight. But how does it affect us at this point? How does it salvage our position?

On an unrelated note, please who the heck is Abdullahi Shitu that is supposedly from Man City playing for us in the upcoming U-20 world cup? Never heard of him. Plus, he's non-existent on Google apart from recent news reports of the Flying Eagles list. Which Man City is he playing for? Is it the one in England or somewhere else?

If the 3 points are not deducted from SA, I hope one of the countries will take the issue to the Court of Arbitration in Sports, irrespective of the qualification outcome.

The penalty for fielding an ineligible player is clearly spelt out in the FIFA rule books. and there is already a precedence.

I know FIFA is corrupt and there's politicking in the game but I'll be interested to know the technicality FIFA will use as its defence to wriggle out of the issue.

He is cheating when his wife needs him most

Aaah my respected Egbon. would the cheating have been....for want of a better word "less worse" and a bit tolerable if the wife had not just given birth prematurely?

Breaking records by cooking jollof rice? How did I end up in the same geographical space with people like you?

You ended up in the same geographical space as me because even mediocrity needs a place to loiter while brilliance sets the standard. Stay pressed or relocate, bottom feeder.

Na lie! Ah.... This one na food for pet rabbit sha. Cos how can you call this "Eba and Egusi" abeg!

😂 Just say you wan eat fish wey dem stain with egusi, cos ain't no way an African man with an African belle be calling this a meal.

Funny but I agree with you, that portion too small to fill the belly .

naptu2:
1) What he did was obviously crazy, but

2) To make matters worse he did it after his wife had just given birth prematurely!

Egbon, how does his wife given birth prematurely make it worse?

Northernblood7:
Africans are breaking record on things that needs the lowest brain processing while a Chinese small boy solved technical mathematics in seconds.

We are once again reminded that having a big tool for maximum satisfaction in bed does not equate to having a powerful brain.

You're an African too, go ahead and break the records in your field.

Hilda Baci is a chef, and she's thinking, innovating and breaking records in her niche.

I see

His mentality must have been beaten already for him to see Pacquiao fight as a redemption meaning he was already in a sunken place.

After the Mayweather loss, he won his next few fights leading up to the Pacquiao bout so I can't speak to his mentality.

I think his promoter was influential, and was able to line him up quickly for the Pacquiao fight, but the brutal way he lost that fight ended his boxing career and made him suicidal.

But I don't know how losing a fight and getting paid tens of millions in the process will send someone into this kind of depression

Bro, at that level it:s not all about money. Pride, legacy, and public perception join too. How does a fighter overcome the fact that the whole world watched him being ko-ed unconscious in the sport he dedicated his whole life to? At that point, depression go enter na.

Abi you think Wilder is going through this kind of depression now from his losses to Fury and Zhang. Life no serious like that oh

Have no idea if he's curreently battling depression but Wilder was never a good boxer. His boxing fundamentals, IQ and movement were poor. There were some fights he was being outboxed and losing until he landed that lucky punch. Luis Ortiz for example. It was only a matter of time before his luck ran out. The Fury loss was Wilder's unravelling but ultimately I think it was the Joseph Parker loss that crushed his spirit Anyways, Francis Ngannou has called him out and challenged him to a boxing bout. I think that fight is sellable, aka Battle of the Heavy Hitters; Wilder vs Ngannou. It'd be a good one if the Saudi Prince can put up the money to bankroll the fight.

R.I.P Ricky Hatton

Money is not everything

My brother-in-law swore after the Mayweather fight that Ricky has started having depression, that he saw it in his eyes the next day. I have since wondered if just that loss sent Ricky into a spiral.

No be that fight. Na the loss to Manny Pacquiao some years later make am slide into depression.

That Pacquiao fight was suppose to be his redemption and resurgence, and I recall he recruited Floyd's father to train him for the fight but he was knocked out unconscious by Pacquiao in the early rounds.

Mayweather Snr criticized him after the fight for abandoning their game plan, and reverting to his normal direct all-action fight style.

In a later interview, he confessed the Pacquiao loss made him entertain thoughts of kpai-ing himself.

RIP Ricky Hatton.

Behold! The best and (maybe arguably) most inform African women's footballer on the planet right now.

Queen Esther "Messi" Okoronkwo

Plays so elegantly, glides like a gazelle, with close control and silky smooth skills.

Her level is above the Canadian league. She should be playing in the American league, or top 5 European leagues like England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy.

This is funny

Undisputed super middleweight championship

Terence Bud Crawford def. Saul Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 115-113)

Greatness!

Crawford wins.

I score it 8 rounds to 4 in favour of Crawford.

Waiting for the official announcement.

Round 12. Crawford

Round 11.

Clear round for Crawford. Easily his best.

Round 10. Crawford

Round 9. Crawford

Round 8. Crawford.

Round 7. Canelo.

Biased commentary in favour of Crawford.

Crawford Round 6.

Those body shots from Canelo will take a toll in the later rounds.

Round 5 could have gone either way but, I favour Crawford

Bluelines69:
Fighting Canelo must be annoying, he just walks you down

Yeah. his chin is exceptional, and he can take a punch

Round 4 - Canelo

Round 2 - Crawford
Round 3 - Canelo

Round 1 - Canelo. Took the centre of the ring, pushed crawford back and threw more.

QueenJazz:
Baba nla. I see your doings.

Well, we have no choice but to watch and hope. Me, I'm trying not too invest myself too much in it cos my heart is frail. At this stage, I'm just looking at the remaining games as prep for the AFCON and that's how I'll watch them, to see if Chelle has learnt from his mistakes.

Yes, that one too dey. Eric Chelle made the costly error of starting Dessers and Ekong. The remaining games would be good early prep for the AFCON, and to observe what the Coach has learnt from his four games in charge.

Eric Chelle played four games, won two and drew two, amassing a total of 8 points from a possible 12. 8/12 = 66.6%

Finidi played two games, drew to SA and lost to Benin Republic, obtaining only 1 point from a possible 6. 1/6 = 16.6%

Peseiro played two games. and drew both, to Lesotho and Zimbabwe delivering only 2 points. 2/6 = 33.3%

I post the above so we can properly attribute the blame for our precarious situation, and possible non-qualification for the world cup.

TheSuperNerd:
Ooohhh God! No dey use this kain example naaa!

Which kain PTSD flashback be this??!!! No be we collect at the end of this story?

Baba, you never recover from the PTSD? Sorry, no vex. I couldn't think of a better example to buttress my point

QueenJazz:
The babe dey hyperventilate, I say make I give am small ventolin make she calm down. 🤧

You do well. I also believe there is hope.

Last AFCON, Ivory Coast were all but eliminated in the group stage until the last group game,. They qualified by the skin of their teeth, and they eventually won the competition.

Football is a game of 90 minutes + injury time + until the referee blows the whistle so I will keep believing until the last round of qualifiers.

If we don't eventually qualify, man no die, man no rotten, life goes on, and we face the next task, AFCON in December.

No matter what happens, I will always support the Super Eagles, and all other Nigerian football teams. Naija na my own clubside so I'll ride with them until I'm no more.
