This is what caused confusion. The old U16's were not a tournament but home and away fixtures. |

U17 Ghana - 2 titles Nigeria - 2 titles Gambia - 2 titles Ivory Coast - 1 title Nigeria were a penalty away from being number 1 at this level. I guess it was not meant to be. The fact that Gambia has 2 titles here shows the level of age cheating. Nigeria presented 3 over-aged players and many more beat the system. In the end this tournament means nothing. 1 Like |

Omo Daddy354: This thread has shown how hateful we blacks are. And its a shame dat most of us can use our God - given time, intellect, resources and even health to type all those hateful words. Its a big shame dat the youths who are believed 2b d strength of d two countries have all gone LEFT. God have mercy You are taking this too seriously... This is a form of education if you read all the posts and look beyond the hate. A person reading this would understand the demographics of Nigeria and Ghana a bit better and would even understand the dangers of Skin Bleaching both physically and even psychologically. It is a harsher was to do it but, makes for good entertainment 4 Likes |

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/04/20134514845907984.html Lagos, Nigeria - After carefully washing her face, legs and arms, Taiwo Solomon vigorously rubs cream over her body. She is meticulous and makes sure she covers her entire face. Soloman, 32, is bleaching her skin. She believes fairer skin could be her ticket to a better life. So she spends her meager savings on cheap black-market concoctions that promise to lighten her pigment. This has been a daily routine for the past 15 years. Now several shades lighter she says her new skin makes her feel more beautiful and confident. “Bleaching just makes me feel special, like am walking around in a spotlight,” she told Al Jazeera. “I am not seeking to be totally white, I just want to look beautiful. I cannot stop using the lightening agents,” she adds. Solomon is not alone. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 77 percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening products, the world’s highest percentage. That compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27 percent in Senegal. The reasons for this are varied but most people say they use skin-lighteners because they want "white skin". In many parts of Africa, lighter-skinned women are considered more beautiful and are believed to be more successful and likely to find marriage. It's not only women though who are obsessed with bleaching their skins. Some men too are involved in the practice. Conceptions of beauty Lightening creams are not effectively regulated in Nigeria where even roadside vendors sell tubes and plastic bags of powders and ointments from cardboard boxes stacked along sidewalks in market districts. Many of the tubes are unlabelled as to their actual ingredients. In a market in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, business is booming for shops selling skin-lightening products. Both local and imported products line the shelves of Rashida Lawal’s cosmetics shop. "About 90 percent of my clients come asking for skin whitening products," she told Al Jazeera. "I sell it to them and give advice on what product is best for them and how to use them." She says most of her customers are in a great haste to lighten their skin. “Taking the color of your skin to different colour has to be gradual. It's not something you decide one day that 'I want to be fair, I want to be like Michael Jackson and you become Michael Jackson all of a sudden'. That is why we have to advise them first before selling it to them” said Lawal. Rashida and her staff also mix different ointments and creams for customers “depending on the desired level of lightness”. Famous Nigerian Musician Femi Kuti says the use skin-lightening products have given rise to their own terminology. “When the bleaching propaganda got so negative, they had to come up with toning. Bleaching sounds too hard, now it’s toning. I don't bleach, they say, I tone!” “They think bleaching is gege,” he told Al Jazeera, using a Nigerian term for cool. Femi attributes skin bleaching to a feeling that foreign products and images must, by definition, be good. “An African will prefer to be called John-Philip. If you said your name was Chukwu Emeka Afongkudong they will say you are from the village. You are backward. How can you have such a name? We really look down on our culture and heritage instead of being proud of it,” he laments. Dangerous consequences Skin bleaching comes with hazardous health consequences. The dangers associated with the use of toxic compounds for skin bleaching include blood cancers such as leukemia and cancers of the liver and kidneys as well as severe skin conditions. Hardcore bleachers use illegal ointments containing toxins like mercury, a metal that blocks production of melanin, which gives the skin its colour, but can also be toxic. Ayobode Williams, a medical doctor, says the skin bleaching agents have both internal and external effects on those who use them. “Systemically it causes things like kidney failure because of the mercury in some of the products and it also causes eczema, skin pigmentation among a host of other infections,” he told Al Jazeera. Dr Williams warned that sustained use of bleaching agents could cause even cancer. Yet few seem to pay attention to these dangers. For those who bleach, staying black is not beautiful at all. 7 Likes |

Sexily Endowed: First it was Yvonne Nelson, then Nadia Buari and now Jackie Appiah, I'm sure next will be that Martha lady Ghanaian women cannot seem to resist the Naija Swag. Anyways she is a beautiful girl, hope this marriage will last longer than her previous one Ghanaian men should step up their game, you are losing all your beautiful women to Nigerian men What swag!!! No woman is attracted to an ugly Boko thief. These "girls" you are talking about are in their 30's and past their prime When they were in their prime they were with Ghanaian men!! Now that it is over they go for Naija!! The young fine gals like Ghana-man and the old women go for Naija. If Nigerian women were good looking the equation would be balanced but I have never met a Ghanaian man who wanted a Naija gal in my life. I won't talk about the countries they were talking about apart from Ghana... All in all, you are going for Ghanaman's left overs!! 4 Likes |

CAMEROONPRIDE: Olympics is a YOUTH cup... Confederations cup is impressive but, it is not a serious competition In the world cup we have been the the quarter Final and Round of 16! You went to the quarter final 20 years ago and have not made it to the knock out stage since!! Lastly 8 final game appearances at the African cup is greater than 6 which is what you have achieved. Egypt would be the best if they had done anything at the world cup but, they have never won a game there |
