well you are right though,

Almost all children hate the early morning prayers, thats when the sleep is sweetest yeah moms are the best. Hmm so you got your bum whooped by your dad,These days they say spanking is now equivalent to "battering" I guess thats why there are a lot of spoilt kids.
5am prayer is special because you tend to commit the day into Gods hand, and the timing is a bit significant ( also some spiritual significance) just like when people start vigils by 12am. You tend to pray before all sort of distractions come in, take charge of the day in the spirit realm.

Lol. Now imagine when you always stay up late in ya room till 12am playing super nintendo and sega. Sometimes movies. Then you've to wake up that early to stand for an hour before going to school.

My pops used to beat me like a thief. But I'm not even going to lie, I was troublesome - the black sheep in the family. I was just so hyperactive and aggressive growing up...and it's still a mystery that I never got kicked out of any school or diagnosed of ADHD when I was young. Perhaps it's cos I was one of the best students. I was just the kid that used to play super-hard and get into fights almost everyday.

Looking back now, I'd say the arse whooping I took from my pops did help me a lot cos I feared him and subconsciously that kind of helped me make certain decisions that saved my life. But taking the arse whooping wasn't fun at all.

Well generally, I guess things have changed people are hardly trust worthy , values are almost non existent people no longer have morals and somehow it can translate to the declining rate of loyalty we see today even among friends, business partners etc but we still have people who are trying as much as possible to be loyal.

People just aren't loyal. It's always better not to expect it from people.

To me Easter signifes a very important aspect of my christain faith, As Christians believe that Jesus died for us and our sins and that shows forth in easter, Its a time of sober reflection as to how He paid the ultimate price so that I can be free and I check if I am representing Him well here in thoughts deeds actions etc and etc, making sure that his suffering is not in vain over my life And ultimately the resurrection which signifies that he lives so I also can live forevermore so it also reminds me of the total victory i have. . I also think one should try to relate with the events of that week that happened many years ago. I guess this passion of the christ movie captures it a to a reasonable extent.

Dayum!

But how come the dates for Easter change every year? Is it that they don't know when the resurrection happened, or it's just basically another scam? And if Jesus died for me as a black man, why're my black people and Africa at the bottom of the totem pole of everything? Don't you think we need some love as well since black folks are the most loyal to him these days in a world where loyalty is dead?

When did u turn wailer?

What the fvck is a "wailer"? Don't tell me that's a word the stark illiterates who populate this forum throw around. Most of them won't even know what a "wailer" is, even if I were to smack their faces with it in the hot Lagos sun.

Fvck that shyte, critique when you need to and don't be a black zombie like Nas said. GEJ zombies used to label everyone who saw the utter failure in that clown a bigot who doesn't like minorities from SS. APC and PDP sycophants: birds of a feather and black zombies.

tomakint:
Hey homeboy.......whatzup G? Where have u been all these while....don't tell me you too fell for this scam. Remember the much hyped EKO Atlantic City by Fashola

Eko Atlantic is the real deal and everything is working just fine. I'm impressed with the project and I do follow the progress on the internet, via different sources.

However, the seaport should've been sited elsewhere. I just think Lagos needs an identity, not the jack-of-trades and lack of identity these clowns are fostering on it. Eko Atlantic can give it the identity it craves by being the financial hub of west Africa, just as London and New York are. Ports and other crap ought to be moved to the neighbouring states in need of development.

That's just my opinion.

Nice.

Hopefully, it won't be an empty promise.

Regardless, the seaport should've been sited in Ondo...Lagos is just too congested to keep dragging more flies into one space, while sucking everything out of the rest.

Lol.

When we said the fake superman meet batman shouldn't have taken the power sector's portfolio, some clowns thought we're hating on him.

This is his Vietnam, let's see how he'll use media and publicity to wriggle himself out of the bottomless pit, before he's thrown out of that ministry.

aresa:
And when outsiders lambaste PMB or say something bad about Nigeria, we hear it first from you losers and anti Nigerian elements celebrating and rejoicing..

Thank God we don't take you losers seriously so wail till you die...

Lool.

Eko-ile, Tinubu's perpetual butt taker and Fashola's infamous photographer, shouldn't the fact the BooHarry relegated ya grossly overrated Tinubu to the substitute bench in the scheme of things, make you slow ya sycophancy down a tad bit? But no, you decided to take a bad combo of HGH/steroids with it, you scandalous paid hack with whiskers like a rat. The "Pangea" poster is a Yoruba guy who has always supported APC, and Fashola. And I believe he's now seeing the fraud that BooHarry the clown is. However, rather than debate his point, you decided to label him an Ipod youth - how insolent and silly can you be?

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher praised IBB, Mobutu, and Idi Amin. Heck, they took pictures with them. However, how does that change the fact that the trio would make top-5 worst African leaders ever on any list? Didn't Obama, David Cameron, and Nicolas Sarkozy praise Muammar Gaddafi...and labelled his son, Saif al-Islam, a reformist/reformer? But how does that change the fact that the trio were the ones who destroyed Libya, killed the same Gaddafi, and destroyed Saif al-Islam?

You lot are some of the dumbest and most ridiculous loafers ever the grace the worldwide web. This is sycophancy on steroids. BooHarry has been an utter failure thus far, that's the honest truth.

King44:
A child who does not identify with where he/she comes from is a bastard and an half cast who does not identify with his or her father land is a victim of misplaced sperm talking abt fella he was advised by a white man to come back to nigeria and practice his craft here when his potentials was not appreciated over there, he came back fused his Jazz style of music with some african musical instrument and behold afrobeat was born and today he his a legend internationally and in nigeria he is seen as a god of music you need to start updating ur self abt fella, I personally tot wizkid was silly when he opt for fella style of music fused with modern vibe until I noticed the rate at which he spreads fast after the switch and if not listed among d beatles u should know dat politic is at play and even in his death he his one of the most recognized musician in the globally do ur research

Looool.

You sound like a frustrated weirdo and I think I need to take a break from this forum cos the overwhelming majority of you are ignorant and crazy at the same time.

So folks with their fathers' last names don't identify with their fatherland in ya obtuse mind, no? Err, and you're one the ret.arded illiterates who voted an illiterate clown called "Goodluck Jonathan" to rule over you for four years. When you hear "Sade Adu" and "Goodluck Jonathan" - which of the two sounds more Nigerian and shows someone identifying with an African heritage?

Also, how many Nigerians bought her albums? But you expect her to take her talent to a country where folks neither know what great music is, nor understand talent, apart from jumping on bandwagon, no? Most Nigerians wouldn't even know what great music is even if you were to smack their faces with it - unless it's on international charts and it's in vogue, and they want to also sound cool and current.

And nah, naij killed Fela Kuti's talent and the world didn't really get to see how great he was until recently. Except folks with an ear for great music everywhere, especially hip-hop artists who sampled him a lot, thus making him the sampled African artist ever. Before the broadway show in America and later Europe - most people didn't even know how great Fela Kuti was. That's also the reason why he never won a grammy award. Jimi Hendrix had to come to the UK where folks appreciated his craft before he was accepted in the US, and subsequently became a superstar. Ditto Public Enemy. Even Youssou N'Dour had to move to France and that's the guy that stole all the accolades that should've been Fela Kuti's. It has nothing to do with politics. Naij killed the global recognition that's Fela Kuti's birthright for being a genius.

Ya post pissed me off and I'm out for a week or two...off on holiday to a beautiful place muthaphucka.

Nas ft Chrisette Michelle - Can't Forget About You


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATePlsHsJiI

There comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back/
Straw hat on the porch when you're old perhaps/
Wanna gather your thoughts, have a cold one/


These streets hold my deepest days/
This hood taught me golden ways/
Made me, truly this is what made me/
Break me, not a thing's gonna break me

Oh, I'm that history I'm that block/
I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot/
I'm that kid by the number spot/
That's my past that made me hot/
Here's my life long anthem/
Can't forget about you

kingston247:
Op if this is her recent pix then this woman must be a vampire...I know her face this way for more than 30yrs now...!

She and Nas have the best genes ever. They're like the real Peter Pan cos they never age.

I just saw a picture of Nas on instagram with The Game and this guy still looks like he's 20. And he smokes and drink.

It must be HGH coupled with the fact that black doesn't crack.

I hope I age gracefully like these two icons.

abbey621:
You have your points and I have mine. Nigeria might be a hell hole but it is still better than some countries. A Nigerian that does not invest in Nigeria either financially, physically or emotionally is not worthy of being called a Nigerian. I know many abroad that claim to be Nigerian yet when they do their taxes or fill any application and it asks for their nationality they quickly write down the country they are living. People like that are nothing short of foreigners. So this leads to my question, how can you claim to be a Nigerian when you have no vested interest in Nigeria? I guess most people do not understand the difference between having Nigerian ancestry and being a Nigerian. Seal and Sade clearly identify more with their foreign heritage than their Nigerian hence their investment in foreign land!

Financially: business/investment is about profit making and how conducive the environment is. As a businessman, if you can't maximise ya profits in an environment, why would you make a bad business decision and invest there? Would you those flagship American companies all over China, Indonesia, Philippines et al seeking cheap labour are anti-America for denying unemployed yanks jobs by giving them to Asians? How about IT companies in the West outsourcing jobs to Indian companies? Or Ford and other automobile companies that left Detroit in ruins for other cities?

And when you look at the field they're into - their talents won't be appreciated in a country like Nigeria where bang bang music reigns supreme. Fela Kuti lived in Nigeria...but how many Nigerians really appreciate his genius? But outside Nigeria, he's an iconic figure and a legend. And if he had lived in the UK/US - he would've been one of the most celebrated/richest musicians ever. He ought to be mentioned alongside The Beatles, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie et al. But living in Nigeria denied him that and most people caught on his music quite late. Now you want a Sade Adu who's an icon with one of the most loyal fan base on the planet to take her talent to naij and let it die there, no?

Physically/Emotionally: how more Nigerian can you get apart from ya looks? The last I checked they have Nigerian parents/phenotype/DNA and the emotional stress of being in the world as a black Nigerian is all you need. Ethnic Brits don't have black skin, broad nose, thick lips, and go through the stress the average black person goes through on the planet. What else do you want?

I believe you want them to go to Nigeria. Err, even if they were to move to Nigeria, what problems are they going to solve out there? John Fashanu left everything he was doing out here and moved to Nigeria, how many problems has he solved by being there physically and investing in the country financially?

abbey621:
Does Sade or Seal have a Nigerian passport? No! Does Sade or Seal own any properties in Nigeria? Since we are sticking to facts, I can confirm that they both own a British passport, I can also confirm that they own properties in England. Like you said not everyone would like to waive the Nigerian flag but you can't claim a nationality that you have disrespected so many times, he has no ties to Nigeria. Even when his mother was ill and ultimately passed on he refused to visit Nigeria, in fact I believe 2014 was the only year he set foot on Nigerian soil and even that was for a concert! Sade on the other hand visits once in a while but she also has little ties to Nigeria. In the international community she is referred to as a British singer, she was not raised in Nigeria and almost all aspects of her life is British. Once again I know Nigerians love to associate with good things but both Seal and Sade are just as Nigerian as Chamillionaire which says a lot considering Chamillionaire is a gangster U.S born Nigerian with no ties to Nigeria at all

Lool.

How does having Nigerian passports negate who they're? Sade's British passport clearly states "place of birth" as "Ibadan" and I don't know any Ibadan in the UK. The only Ibadan I know is in Nigeria and she's more of a plastic Brit than a proper Brit cos to be a proper Brit, you've to be born in the UK. You won't understand that, would you? Also, with Sade, her brother is always in Nigeria - she's just the type that keeps herself to herself. And how more Yoruba can you get by sticking to ya Yoruba names, when she could've easily changed her first name to "Helen"? Her daughter also has a Yoruba first name and "Adu" as her last name. What more do you want?

As for Seal, he's who he's and the fact that he doesn't run around screaming Nigeria everywhere, that doesn't mean he's denying who he's. These are the names of his children: Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, and Lou Sulola Samuel. What else do you want?

You need to understand that not everyone wants to live in the slums and chaos in Nigeria, waving the utter ugly green and white flag everywhere. However, that doesn't negate who they're. They both probably speak better Yoruba than you do; understand Yoruba history/culture/traditions better than you do; and pray to Yoruba gods every morning while you worship Arab Muhammed or white Jesus - yet you think they're not Nigerians, but you're. Some of you need to get off ya condescending high horse and stop defining who/what people are.

Also, how do you define ties to Nigeria? What other ties do you need than having Nigerian parents and growing up in a Nigerian household? John Fashanu never grew up in a Nigerian household, but he's out there in Nigeria now. Can you tell him to his face that he's not Nigerian? Ditto Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who also grew up in a foster home but speaks better Yoruba than you'll ever do and understands Yoruba culture/history/traditions than you'll ever do.

Chamillionaire is Hakeem Seriki and that's the name he runs around with. If he doesn't associate with Nigeria/Nigerians, that's his personal choice and who/what he wants to be. That doesn't negate the fact that his younger brother, Rasaq Seriki, is always out there claiming his Nigerian heritage. Then you have Wale, Phil Ade, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Rotimi et al who don't shy away from being called Nigerians.

I'm sure very soon, a lot of you are going to start saying that Anthony Joshua isn't Nigerian - when he actually lived in Nigeria for two years for school, has a big tattoo of Africa on his shoulder with a shaded map of Nigeria, speaks Yoruba better than most of you, and loves eating his eba and pounded yam everyday. Most of you sound as racist as the nutjobs who think a black person can't be English. Stop defining people - let people define themselves and be what they want. It's a free world.

abbey621:
Sade Adu, Seal are not really Nigerian as they don't claim so on their official documents, they are more British since Seal was born in England and Sade claims British nationality even though she was born in Ibadan. The only Nigerian that has won a Grammy is Sikiru Adepoju as part of the band called Planet Drum!

Lol.

I don't know why you lot always love choosing nationalities for folks without consulting them.

If the fact that she was born in Ibadan doesn't make her Nigerian according to you, how about what she said in an interview, "But then my life just gets in the way. I'm always asked that question. Like I said, I'm Nigerian. I'm always late."

AP: In the 10-year break between "Lovers Rock" and "Soldier of Love," did you run into fans who asked about new music?

Adu: Always in the queue at the petrol station. The gas station. I'm always being asked it, and I'll always say 'it's tomorrow' and they all think I'm a liar because I always imagine it's going to be much sooner than it is. But then my life just gets in the way. I'm always asked that question. Like I said, I'm Nigerian. I'm always late.

http://news.yahoo.com/sade-talks-tattooing-youthful-look-dvd-172042779.html

And when has Seal ever denied being Nigerian? A guy who gave his kids Yoruba names isn't Nigerian, no? Hysterical. Just let folks decide who they're - don't force ya opinions on them. Not everyone wants to live in Nigeria and run around with Nigerians with green and white flag. But that doesn't negate who they're.

Yup! It is very very hard to get out. The drug game for guys is like prostitution for women... It takes a lot of will power and determination to get out once in it.

Yes. It's as addictive as crack is to the crack fiends cos that type of money doesn't come easily. Then the risks as well...from stick up kids cos someone is always out there to rob you, the losses, keeping an eye on the feds, and the perpetual threat to ya life. You could get as high as Everest in no time and lose everything in the twinkling of an eye. Then you get thrown in a box. The smart ones always stash the cash far away.

Regardless, there's no better school to learn about business and how to be a shrewd businessman than the drug game. Even Harvard Business School won't teach you what you'll learn overtime from the streets and hood economics.

A kilo in LA is $16-20k...I don't know about the other American states. They get shipment directly from South American countries tho...so the supply chain is shorter.

Word?!

That's mad cheap. Now I see why black youths in America can't leave the streets alone. With that ridiculously cheap price, you just need to do inter-state to places like Maryland or DC (even NY), and make 100% profit with ease. All you need is a good connect and a loyal plug on the other side...and you can become a millionaire in no time.

However, the prison system in the US is effed up and you also need a lot of weapons and killers cos the streets don't play. Regardless, once there isn't too much violence and you can stay lowkey and off-radar - the feds won't care too tough. And once you get into the game, it's always very difficult to get out of it, until everything blows up in ya face.

kayo80:
I totally agree with you, but there is no way in hell that thing I am looking for will say for $720 even on Mars. I read the post again...it is actually 600grams...thats like half a key. No way in hell that would sell for close to a million dollars. We are talking of India here. It seems you know little about India. They don't have the kind of rich people that would spend that much on cocaine even if it is super scarce. As you said, a kilogram sells for about 60k pounds in UK...Why would half of that now sell for more than ten times the amount in India?

I didn't know it was slightly over half a birdie. I was responding to ya post about two birdies not being over $60,000 regardless of country. Even in the US, apart from Miami with the Cubans, California with the Mexicans, and maybe New York with the Puerto Ricans and Dominicans - I doubt you can get two birdies for $60,000. And that's a country very close to the source in South America, with government agencies complicit in the whole shindig. Now imagine India that's on the other side of the planet.

Anyway, if it's just 600g - they exaggerated the street value.

kayo80:
Why do these people like exaggerating the price of cocaine... This only makes more greedy people want to go into drug trafficking. That stuff ain't more than 2 kilograms of cocaine, and in any underground market in the world, it ain't worth more than $60k...I don't care the country, it can never be up to $100k, not to talk of $720k.

It varies from country to country based on supply and availability. Then you don't know how tight India is. I'd wager that prices would be crazy countries around that Indian axis where they give folks death sentences. And now when talk about street value after breaking it down, to make profit, you can't sell the raw thing - you've to mix it to double or triple ya money.

Once you include all these factors, they might be right. In the UK sometimes, a birdie (kilo) does go for as high as £55,000 - £60,000 when the supply is low. And in the US, especially in those inner states, it does go for as high as $60,000 a birdie. Now double/triple that for street value, with India as a factor.

Guys get carried away by a whole lot of things without checking what they ought to check for and at the end of the day you see them all over saying how all girls are bad Also a lot of individuals prefer impressing people than what is good for them.

I concur. But not just guys though. I think we all just have this subconscious way of trying to live in the moment and lack of appreciation for things that aren't glamorous from the outside, thus getting carried away. The "good ones" are always like rough diamonds and you've to pay attention to details to know their worth. Being observant and showing appreciation are the keys.

Is that too much too ask . It is just common sense to look for someone that will share similar values

Loooool.

The thought of waking up at 5.am in the morning reminds me of those days growing up which I used to dread. I hated how my parents used to wake me up every morning for praise/worship and morning prayers. And I when moved out of the house, I had to thank the most high that I left that behind. Back then, every time my pops isn't around...it was thanksgiving season cos we could easily persuade our mum to let us pray on our beds. But with pops, you've to get ya arse in the living room at 5.am for that 1hour prayer session, else he'll whoop that arse. Mums are the best, I tell ya.

And what's special 5.am prayer session tho?

We still have a good number of very loyal people around.
Hahaha you are right there though, every body wants that perfect person, someone like that may exist just that the chances are too slim.

I dunno but based on experience, I just think the consciousness of the universe is different today and, most people aren't loyal. And even the ones you think are loyal can just change and follow the tide, hence the need to be very careful and always expect the worst from people.

That's "the one" for you. Folks just need to start dealing with the realities of life and stop chasing dreams that will become a nightmare.

Well i just assumed since its easter you would have gone

I dunno but big ups to Church, religion, pastors, and religious folks. The world is just a complex place.

Anyway, what does Easter mean to you?

Lol.

If how BooHarry talks down on journalists in a passive-aggressive manner should be used as a yardstick - then I don't think any sensible person would attend this charade.

Apart from being a clueless clown, BooHarry lacks interpersonal skills. He needs to let Osinbajo handle this one. At least he's highly educated and decent.

And when is BooHarry going to read the riot act to Fulani marauders?

You should only be pulling out of chics' mouths after getting a good head to buss the nut on their faces.

gentleheart1:
Cant believe what this thread is about, the title of the thread is misleading.

@op you have a long way to go, its not about the money you make noone gives a hoot about that but its very obvious that you have a low self esteem.
You will keep attracting wrong ladies if you dont work on yourself.

Work on yourself first and stop basing everything on money.

Dem DDs tho.

yetseyi:
Actually you are right but since a lot of people think everyone (by everyone they actually mean all Ladies) is a potential gold digger, different testing methods are being employed. One of them is the hide your real status, pretend you are poor or not so financially okay and if she stays she is a wife material

Lol. Personally, I think a lot of women are like crack dealers who don't mind what the crack head is paying with - notes or coins - or the status (rich or poor). They're just out there to suck whatever they can suck out of guys. No matter how you hide it, they'd still scrounge for whatever loose coins you've to offer. So what's the point? It's just always to be yourself but don't be all about whatever you've got. And be very observant.

As much as I dont want to agree with you on the bolded statement its quite true, No matter what you show forth as your financial worth there will still be someone in that category that will want you just for what you offer. Everything has class, A gold digger will always be a gold digger irrespective of his/ her own financial worth at the moment, theres always some new gold to dig. Nothing beats getting a real/true Lady but of course the guys will most likely overlook the ones that wont give them problems

Lmao @ guys will most likely overlook the ones that wont give them problems. That's so true. I think it's not just guy - that's just a human problem. And it has to do with our innate way of being susceptible to making bad decisions. Hence the quote, "you don't know the value of something until you lose it". We all tend to get carried away with pretense, posturing, glitz, and glamour. I guess that's part of the imperfections that make us human.

@bolded-some ladies, I still have not gotten you attracted to someone just because he is rich, Something else should be be attracting factor then if he's now rich well then its part of the package. There are somethings that should be sought first.

Lol. And what are these things? He must follow you to Church every Sunday and wake up at 5.am every morning to do praise and worship with you? Jk jk jk ghsthahsjsjsjj

I agree with you on this. There is a category of guys that feel, driving a good car, having a good job and some spare cash to throw around is all what they need to get a decent lady.

Yes, you need other things apart from material things. Being able to hold a decent conversation is one of them. You just have to be able to talk to chics. Once you get that sorted - you won't really have that much problems.

You just defined what most people call "the one" I will prefer -with a high level of loyalty instead of some.

Lol. High level of loyalty doesn't exist anymore in today's world and those who possess it are a dying breed. The consciousness today is about, "all man/woman for himself/herself" and you've to accept that reality.

In terms of "the one", I was alluding to what most folks think is a perfect partner - and in most cases it's deeper than what I listed. If "the one" were just what I listed, then I don't think most people would find it difficult to find someone. However, in most cases, you'd see that "the one" is always something folks just created in their heads and only exist in the heads - just figment of one's imagination.

Err, let me get hypothetical and create "the one" for myself in my own head lol. I'd say I want a chic that's a mix between Esther Baxter (ti.ts) and Agnes Masogange (batty), with a face that looks like Sharon Leal or K.D Aubert's face. She has to be educated to at least MSc level with great knowledge of history (I want to home-school my kids, apart from regular schools, cos I don't think the system caters to black kids adequately). She has to be proud of her blackness, grounded, virtuous, and must be a great cook. She has to respect me for who I'm and there has to be connection.

^^^Now look at this: do you honestly think a woman like this exist? That's a classic example of "the one" most folks create in their heads.

I will manage a dozen or two How was service?

British or just normal chickens? Don't worry, imma cargo that to you soon.

Service? I didn't go to Church today. I was at the club all night watching chics twerk to Rihanna's "work" tune and I woke up late this morning. I'm not really a Church guy and since my parents never troubled me about Church this time, I just stayed at mines and went to see them after Church. I dunno but religion and pagan holidays aren't really my thing. But I don't have a problem with folks who are into them.

Regardless, I pray to God every night and though he never says anything back to me, I know he's got my back like the verizon man and he's always protecting me. Hence I don't worry too tough cos I know I won't be alive to day without his grace.

5. Ross Barkley: Rather surprising when you consider how English Barkley plays, looks and behaves. Barkley could have played for Nigeria as his paternal grandparents were actually from Nigeria but he did not give the country a thought as is seen in England as one of the future stars of the English national team.

6. Agbonlahor Gabriel: Despite too much pleas for Gabby to switch his allegiance to Nigeria, the Aston Villa attacker chose to represent England when it was all too clear a future with Nigeria was brighter for him.

On 20 September 2006, Agbonlahor was called up for the Nigeria U-20 team for the match against Rwanda but turned down the call. He however left the door open to Nigeria but later pledged his future to England.

7. David Alaba: The most successful of the lot. Alaba is a huge miss for Nigeria. Alaba was born in Vienna to Gina and George Alaba and has one sister. His mother emigrated from the Philippines to work as a nurse, his Yoruba Nigerian father is a prince from Ogere who is also a rapper and works as a DJ.

The 23 year old is currently seen as the best left-back in the world. He has been named Austrian footballer of the year for the last four years. He wanted to play for Nigeria but a culmination of the NFF inability to see his potential and other issues sees Alaba a full fledged Austrian.

Now back to the thread (got the first 10 from this website - should add a few more to the list).

1. Razak Omotoyossi: Lagos born Omotoyossi chose Benin republic over Nigeria. Omotoyossi started his career in Nigeria, but switched to Benin after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) slammed a five-year ban on him for allegedly assaulting a referee during a Premier League game between his club, Sunshine Stars and visiting Enyimba.

2. Emmanuel Adebayo: The most popular name on this list. Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayo has had his fair share of on and off field problems. The free agent plays for Togo.

4. John and Justin Fashanu: Popular football brothers John and Justin Fashanu represented England. The brothers were sons of a Nigerian barrister living in the UK and a Guyanese nurse called Pearl. When their parents split up, they were sent to a Barnardo’s home.

In 2007, The Times named John the 22nd out of the 50 worst footballers to have played in the Premier League. He was a part of the crazy gang Leeds team who were known for their aggressive style of football. John Fashanu earned two caps for England. Justin Fashanu meanwhile was known by his early clubs to be gay, and came out to the press later in his career, becoming the first and one of only two English professional footballers to be openly gay. He was also the first black footballer to command a £1million transfer fee, with his transfer from Norwich City to Nottingham Forest in 1981.

Justin committed suicide in London in May 1998 after a seventeen-year-old boy accused him of sexual assault in the United States of America.

While watching the England vs. Germany match yesterday, I couldn't help but think about how great it would've been for a great talent like Dele Alli to play for Nigeria. At least, he would've added something different to the currently mediocre Super Eagles team.His performance was so mesmerising that you wouldn't believe that the same player was playing in league one last year for MK Dons. He was by far the best player on the pitch and didn't put any foot wrong, apart from the open goal he missed. And in two international games for England (against a very good French team and the world champions, Germany) - he has won the Man of the Match on both occasions, with a brilliant goal against France.

Then Ross Barkley, a next player qualified to play for Nigeria via his paternal grandparent came on (yes, he looks white, but his dad is Nigerian of mixed heritage). Another brilliant player and he should be manning the midfield for the Three Lions at the Euros, alongside the Tottenham duo of Dele Alli and Eric Dier. Regardless, Nigeria's loss is England's gain and with the likes of: James Vardy, Harry Kane, Butland, and Clyne - England is where Germany was in 2010 and I can't wait for the Euros to start.

Anyway, I decided to create this thread after seeing this article "How Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi became England’s loss and Nigeria’s gain" by Daniel Taylor. Big ups to Alex Iwobi though - bright future.
