I actually quoted him to dispute his blatant tribal tone because if left alone like that might be seen as "truth" by alot of undecerning people out there.

Kog45:
Honestly it could have been a beautiful discussion but they started it with ttribalism,d word tribal messed it all,is a discussion we would have learnt a lot coz i remember d emergence of Enugu Ranger was born out of civil war and I ICC shooting star was created to match Ranger,also mighty jet from north but at d end d three teams produced d bedrock of players that won nations cup.

Na my fault tru tru. No more audience for a simple minded person like him.

Joebie:
Why are we even giving audience to this kind of discussion? The last time I checked, the golden era we had, and the one to come encompasses every region of this country. For those who want to go political or tribal, there are other threads for that purpose.

OMANBALA1:
Move on if you can't provide the names and I never compared the north to the west. This is about a quality that is lacking in an average northern players. Most of them are speedy players like Garba Lawal,Tijani Babangida,Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali. By the way ,the west has produced some amazing midfield players in Ajagun,Raheem Lawal,Mutiu,Muda Lawal,Haruna Ilerika.

Garba lawal and rabiu Ali speedy players? Chai see person wey say him sabi ball!

Now let me help you with list of northern midfielders that you obviously pretend not to know.

Garba Lawal
Rabiu Ali
Yahaya
Abdullahi Alfa
Ibrahim Alhassan.
Etc

To try to make this a region thing shows that you are not to be taken serious. I only chose to entertain your folly. There is no region or country that can fill any position if they have to so swallow your myopic view about life and don't bring it into football.

Signing out from this discussion.

Ask the guy that started all these teibalistic nonsense.

Kog45:
Pls what is northern or western midfielders

His wife became a senior lecturer within 1year? Chai that's really corruption and nepotism of the highest order!

Point 5 western midfielders that have played in any national team.

OMANBALA1:
You haven't made any point. Point 5 northern midfielders that has played for any national team.

4th time on the position, if na African leader now, some slaves go don dey shout up and down.

Because na white now, all of una tongues don go vacation!

This one self don talk sense for him eye be that o. Basing natural skill on region lolz.

OMANBALA1:
I have nothing against northerners because they are really cool but I am yet to see a northerner that can man a midfield satisfactorily....Maybe on the wings but definitely not in the middle. Playing in the middle requires some special characteristics that are not common in a northern footballer. I could be wrong but I am basing this view on sheer observation.

Thanked him indeed. You're a female so you wouldn't know. I once didn't sleep with a girl when I had the opportunity, every day (just finished SS then and was always home), she would come and we will be alone in a whole building of 4 flats chatting.

Few months later, a friend of hers called me impotent (okobo) just because I didn't sleep with her friend. Women have weird thought process.

Lalas247:
It is not rape BUT

You clearly lack self control
Look she was in a VULNERABLE state yes .. u clearly stated she woke up crying .. even if she begged you to sex her you should have been a good guy and said NO ! Yes she would have thanked you for it and even valued you more


So cause she crying u thought lets fuvk Wt kinda guy are you ..

YOU LACK SELF CONTROL ! YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION ! scumbags up n down argh

Don't quote me

Church stop me from marrying? Am I dumb?

What happens to court wedding and traditional wedding?

What happened to inviting a pastor to any of these 2 weddings if his or her presence is needed there?

Where did God ask you people to wed inside church building?

Where in the bible was any wedding done in the church?

First relocation

Then finding the right church
Then getting tired of the pastors being replaced
Then finding the word of then
To getting totally tired of the whole system
Hardly attend any physical church now adays.. Maybe once a month or even twice in 3 months.

The churches in Nigeria (most) are faith and truth killers.

Then pls stick only to what you know and watch so you don't appear ignorant in public or spread false information.

forgiveness:
Watching Nigerian league pains the eyes. No long storri.

And some players within the league earn up to 600k monthly (Gambo, Ali etc)

Mickael2:
Resident doctors for private hospitals no dey even see that much money in a month

You still didn't answer me.

How much is the least paid player getting?
What do you know about the current NPFL? I am not talking stories, I am talking reality. You are using old NPL to judge the NPFL while using the current set up of other countries league as a yardstick.

I ask, which of the leagues are you aware of? The NPL or the NPFL?

forgiveness:
When did the Chinese league began?

Bros, I am a diehard patriotic Nigerian. I have also defend/defended my country wherever I go or whenever I meet foreigners but make we tell ourselves the truth, our league needs facelift and improvement in all areas.

For now NPFL na huge joke.

What if she was beautiful?

BALLOSKI:
She's ugly and wicked.


But I don't support jungle justice.

Football is more than what you listed, having nice infrastructures doesn't make your league better, Chinese league is blessed with great infrastructures, does it make it better than Russian league? Their infrastructure is better of than most leagues in Europe, yet doesn't make their league better. Like I said, which club from the countries you listed can beat any of our top 5? You can't find any NPFL club that sacks all players at once. Stop using past incidence to judge the league. Do you even know the minimum salary paid to players in the league? Infact what exactly do you know about the NPFL?

forgiveness:
Sorry for late reply.

The difference is like sleep and death.

Dilapidated infrastructures, boring football, talent drain, poor officiating, empty stadiums, unstable teams( sacking of all players at once), poor transportation organization, etc are the order of the day now.

Is MASSOB now IPOB?

1nigeriamyfoot:
IPOB fought GEJ administration under PDP & their members that invade SE radio station were arrested. IPOB is not PDP so please don't try to mix kerosene with water. I know you to be pro buhari & APC but we should reason beyond political parties

I don't think anything has chanegd, read the below.

scholes0:
Soo, to put the long stuff short, the culture is changing and evolving with the times, yes?

monex:
sleep under the same roof.

So to avoid that the prince usually leaves benin to live on the outskirts of the city.

in recent years they take up government positions to learn administrative skills

And read this too

monex:
how many of these online peeps know culture sef.

The crown prince is not raised in his fathers household. this translates to not sleeping under the same roof

but in those days trvelling about was not so easy so the crown prince would typically never live in benin city. note that ugbowo, uselu etc. are not part of the city

Between Israelie, Austrian and Switzerland's leagues, which should come first and last?

Asking for a purpose (Our recent HB players and current HB players).

Do not go, its a scam. The company name below is not even a Nigerian company and a foreign company wouldn't base her office at "pleasure" in Iyana ipaja of all areas. Just put the company name on google.

Anoneism:
Good day @all. Please, I need help confirming the authenticity of this invite.

Urgent response please.

Sensing identity theft here.

They have alternatives o. They are the highest consumer of sex robots. Do we have it here? Your left hands can't replace a warm wet pussy o.

OrdercityWeb:
Honestly we need it here. These people need to get some sense into their heads.
Become a MENINIST today

And so? Wetin conern 80s with the level of the league now? 85% of NPFL clubs didn't own this season and I can give it to you that 80% of the 20 clubs in NPFL will beat all clubs in both countries hands down. Forget the past, its improved (talking from physical experience and as someone that's a stakeholder in the league/also watch live matches.).

forgiveness:
I started watching Nigerian league since 80s. As you can see I sabi something.

If dem dey pay players better money and pay as at when due, e better pass .........

Like its currently happening in Japan and some social countries where the young men have gone on no sex with women campaign.

internationalman:
I blame men for giving ladies d impression that they can't do without sex. Ladies on the other hand do a very good job concealing their sexual urge even if it is their heat period.
You will only know how important sex is to ladies when men decide not to show interest. They will b d ones begging.

I miss my old friends. I remember how we reached an agreement never to woo any girl in my area then....

What do you know? People like you might even say Latvian league or even Finnish league is better than the NPFL!

forgiveness:
All I wanna say is NPFL na joke.that's all.

Soldiers are not known with stray bullets, that's police stuffs. Soldiers aim to kill/neutralize.

ReLaTE:
You forgot their stray bullets that killed many innocent people going their own way.

Bushmeat or bush rat

You think this is new?

AverageAnnie:
My only message. ....Repent!!!!!The signs are so clear. ..

Inventions like?

iamchybs:
Neva saying we're more corrupt or vice versa. Just saying we hardly honour inventors here...

Then I made bold to say only criminals and corrupt minds fear soldiers.

dreycomalfoy:
Theyre scared of them because soldiers dont take nonsense and ince youre caught commiting crime and theyre done with you, you will never remain the same again. you wont even think if crime again

The system was created by who? Togolese or Nigerians?

aolawale025:
Nigerians cannot be said to be corrupt. Paradoxically corruption is the least of the problems. The system itself is the main problem

I have never ran away from any law enforcement agent, infact I get to chat with them if I have to. They are humans first before anything, infact they are more civilized, organised and disciplined than normal civilians except the police off course

onatisi:
i wonder oo
some nigerians just want to be lawless and free

I travelled out of my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a federal high court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4 000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4 000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. They make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt.
Nigeria must be saved.

No way..!!!!
