How do you blow a 7 point lead to a 5 point deficit.

I'm done

Will just wait for the final score. These guys shouldn't be at the world cup.
Believe me if they eventually make it there 90% may likely not make the trip.

It's either they don't qualify at all if the above is the plan.

Their play so far is just nauseating. Turning over the ball like amateurs.
So beating Angola to me remains a tall order.

Angola aren't unbeatable, but are obviously going into this game as the favourite. If everyone in the team wakes up and try to do the simple things then we may just win.
The 2 games played so far with these current set of players leave me with no confidence.

We have like 4 players in the whole squad that know what they are there to do. The rest are just not there for business!

Our best players are in the NBA, and from what i observed, it's mostly non Americans in yhe NBA that take playing for their national teams serious.. I mean European players.. The likes of Giannis, Jokic and Doncic are with their national teams for the qualifiers and also the EuroBasket that's starting soon..
Even USA itself hardly use NBA players for their qualifiers..At times they use college players..
Maybe some of our players have the same mentality..Or maybe they just don't want to risk it...Even if we qualify for the world cup, some may not care to participate...
IMO, the NBA holds too much power over FIBA such that it's players can do as they like...Unlike FIFA
Like you said, most non-American players showed up for their countries. All the known names in the NBA are repping their countries. The so called NBA power didn't stop these ones.

Players far better than our own players, so their excuses for not turning up is sad!

Didn't start this year, seems to be a norm for years now.

Yes.

This is what the table currently looks like. We'll have 3 more games in February 2023

We'll definitely be 3rd this window if we defeat Angola.
I don't know how this current squad can defeat Angola.

I pray they prove me wrong today.

Last game of the window today at 2pm against Angola... .If we fail to win, then we'll face an uphill task to qualify as we will have to win the remaining second leg games... It could be worse cus the final window is in February and we won't have our NBA players available..we may not even have our top players in Europe available...
What I don't get is; why should our best players never available during qualifiers only to be present when or if we qualify?

All the serious countries playing qualifiers have their best players representing them so what's the excuse here?
SportsRe: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by somehow: 12:34pm On Aug 28, 2022
Danielnino00:
I don't think it's accurate..
Even the FIBA website is showing that all the teams in group F have played the same number of games.. I believe Central African Republic results from their group was chalked off so as to create an even playing ground for the teams from group A
I thought as much.

So how many games to go and any hope of finishing at least 3rd for the playoffs?

For those who have foresight

Find a very busy area (commercial or religious)

Buy at least 1 plot of land there

Put up a 3 to 5 levels parking lot there and watch as money keeps flowing in for you.

Make sense of this!

Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone contributing to the page!

So, I have an issue. Lagos State Building Control Agency have recently painted my site's fence to stop work and call a number written on the paper left behind.

I wanted to know how to get this guy off my back.

Any advice, please?
Where in Lagos?

It all make sense now .And to be fair, it's the right thing to do ..Cus it would have given the teams from group C an unfair advantage..

I hope they can use this kind of format in football too . Reminds me of the 2017 AFCON that we missed because Chad pulled out of our group.. We could have qualified as second best finisher in the group if not for that...
Any hope of watching it on cable TV?

this rolad property are they genuine?

Do you know anything about them sir..

My inlaw bought from them since last year they refused to give him allocation

Plus the place they told him is quite far from ibeju lekki
I have someone that bought land from there (Ogun state) and was allocated. This was about 2 to 3 years ago. Can't say if they're still the same company now sir.

The level at which illegality is being perpetuated now is worrisome.

If he has completed payment, he should go to their office or ask for a refund if they can't give him any genuine reason.

Alot is going on right now.

Houses without parking space are in for a long ride.

Now, to rent an apartment, you have to include on-the-premises parking space in your conditions.

And for those living in rented apartments with multiple cars without enough internal space, you're in for a ride.

Really, safer? Bros you’re lucky to know and have responsible people behind that RE company. Many of those companies are scammers. I can bet you if dig deeper to know more about those companies and people behind them you be surprised how easy is it to scam innocent people. It’s as easy as registering a company collide with those criminal land grabbers to convince people by telling them documents is under process. Even some of the documents that they show you are not authentic in land register, they collide with some of the government officials and duplicate those documents. you’re in business to start scamming people. Imagine, an entire estates was taking over, the first question you asked yourself, how do they get the global C of O in the first place? There is a similar case that was won recently at Igando Oloja, it was an estate about 300 homes. The original land owner won the case after 10 years of court battle with the original document the company duplicated. This is not new, it’s been happening over 12 years in that axis. Majority of the land in that axis from Sangotedo to T junction in Epe belong to the Government. Please shine your eyes, before any commitment in that area.
I get you sir.
when I say "safer", I didn't mean there are no criminals, it's just that since its an estate with different people from different backgrounds buying into it, the chances of outright scam is not as huge as buying from omoniles.

There's no sector in this country that is 100% scam proof. They are everywhere with big English and long epistles.. Very good at packaging.

Once they're exposed, they go hiding wishing the heat cools off on time so as to return.

I am waiting for next week to come... Already put my legal team on standby.

I have been fortunate so far that this is the only land giving me issues.

Got one from Gracias about 2 years ago, they couldn't get the title they promised and the CEO when contacted via WhatsApp made sure I got my refund within 2 weeks without issues.

Some are very good and like the story of Nigeria, alot are criminals with education.

This country can never be organised as we're too far gone. Unfortunately we'll just have to learn to exist within the reality where we found each other.

Only the military can bring a resemblance of order to this country and they too have their own issues. We're simply ungovernable yet. We were not ready for independence. The British handed Ferrari car keys to Marwa drivers.
Very unpopular statement that I wholeheartedly support.

Even with bad military regime, only a few misbehave in government but in this demo madness, almost everyone seems to misbehave!

I have two cases going on currently. One is in court and the other is a letter of undertaking in police station. I’m the plaintiff on both.

Most people in Nigeria always look at diasporans as soft target. So it requires dealing with them tenaciously. However I didn’t come to Nigeria to do that. Mi o le je ki weyrey kan lo add si high blood pressure mi.

So I’ll mostly keep my money in a bank, go to joints eat point and kill and join in abusing the government.

They think they’re doing me cheesy
Chai elepe sir.

I have also talked to myself to put a stop to anything investment in Nigeria.

I don suffer small Sha in the hands of Nigerians (in various investments).

I have 2 cases in court and I'm also the plaintiff.

When is this country going to be organised?

My Boss, I understand the court part.

I left a 75M property after several adjournment! I hope to pick up the case once I have a better and mad lawyer.

How can a family recollect a land with CofO, lol, people get away with things like this because the Nigeria system is shitty.

My experience in the last 2 years made me hate lawyers, court and the whole Nigeria legal system!

I was expecting my case to be a run in the park since I have the CofO and everything but No!

Lawyer was provably happy with the whole case because he kept making money from ms
It's a jungle out there.

I think my sms to the MD and his CTO + my realtor taking the case to his association shook them a bit because I got a call from the CTO yesterday that they'll reallocate me come next week.

Something happened to this country after 1990.

I find myself slowing down a lot and not as gang-ho on things.

My fully furnished 2 bedroom BQ has been sitting idle since January. I don’t want the palava of a tenant in my private residence. You read of schemes to delay rent payment to landlord using legal tactics.

I’ll stay here but will always travel out on vacation twice a year to reset.

Advice to people thinking of coming home, please stay for 3 months on various occasions not the typical two weeks vacation in order to gauge the temperature.

I don't think it's ROI either. I think it's your legal team. They are probably not up to the job. Such dispute don't just crop up out of the blues. It must have been there for a while even before you made payment but your team obviously missed it. Not digging deep enough.

Or it the way you purchase land: rush and pay without properly digging. Three land cases for one individual is just too much.

I would change my legal team and reevaluate my approach to land purchase.

Follow the legal route to conclusion. It is the best option. I would get my lawyer to place an injunction on the land pending all financial settlement between myself and BOTH vendors.
The land was confirmed to have the title they claimed it has by my team that got other lands for me without issues. What Richfield Multi-concept Ltd disclosed was that they had an issue on the land that was never disputed in court. ( their MD claimed Lekki coaster agency played them blablabla).

I have too many cases in court right now to add this one but it's looking that way now.

Thanks sir.
