12large1: The reason why I took Kenneth out of first 11 is strictly because of height super eagles was not the best at set piece we need height there at the backU mean defending set pieces? That your Eguekwe is no where as a defender near Omeruo. Omeruo is a modern full back. Did you particularly watch his movements passes during the AFCON? Except you are a tribalist, your Taye Taiwo and Haruna Lukman should nt be on that line-up |

| Career › Re: Best Paid Careers In Nigeria For 2013 by Syenite(m): 4:04pm On Feb 20, 2013 |
I dnt know about others but the figures for the Oil and Gas is incorrect. There is a wide variation of oil workers: Indegenous servicing firms, Indegenous E & P, Indegenous products Marketing, multinational Servicing, Multinational E & P, multinational product marketing, Petrochemicals, LNG, Government agencies etc. These categories offer a wide range of pay packages which is also a factor of years of experience. Believe u me some earn as low 1Million per annum and some take as much as 20Million per annum. That is how wide it is. 5 Likes |

@ ihedioramma, Wrong! We beat them 3-0 in 2001, 1-0 in AFCON 2002 and 1-0 in AFCON 2006. I supported Burkina Faso cos i dnt want them (Ghana) to rub shoulders anywhere near us. Let them play a loser's final while we play for the title. I dnt care if Burkina beats us or not. Better to lose to Burkina than to lose to those loud and foul mouthed Ghanaians. 114 Likes |

He sang "Redemption song" argueably better than Bob Marley. Two of his other songs I liked as a kid were "Send down the Rain" and "Mama Tete Oyoyo". 2 Likes |

| Sports › Re: Your First Nations Cup by Syenite(m): 6:21pm On Feb 04, 2013 |
My first Nations Cup experience was Maroc '88. I was a primary 4 pupil of Sari Iganmu Primary School, Lagos. I was admitted in Lagos University Teaching hospital (LUTH),haven undergoing an eye surgery. The Green Eagles of Nigeria were to play a highly fancied Kenyan side who just won the all African games football Gold medal a year before.The only TV then in hospital ward was faulty. So we had to listen to Ernest Okonkwo's (RIP) commentaries on radio. I remember how we would shout as the commentator screamed it isss a gooaaaallll!! The nurses on duty that night would come and threaten us. I was in the children's ward, we all left our beds to sit next to a boy who was bigger than the rest of us that came with a pocket radio. I remember Rashidi Yekini(RIP) scored twice that night. We won the game 3-0. Our next match was against Cameroun. That was the day i was discharged. I journeyed home after spending 1month in admission at LUTH. I rememeber how my siblings and compound friends rushed to hug me screaming my name. I managed to watch the last few minutes of the game against Cameroun.We were under heavy attack from the Camerounians. It was a 1-1 draw. The 3rd match was against the Defending champions Egypt who needed a win but Nigeria needed a draw. I remember how the Egyptians bombarded our 18yards box with shots and crosses towards the dying moments of the game.I remember Bright Omokaro's role in that game as a defender. Egypt played us o.It ended 0-0. Nigeria fished second in the group behind Cameroun who defeated Egypt 1-0 and Kenya 1-0. Came the semis and we faced Algeria. I can never forget that game. Sam Okwaraji(RIP) scored first through deflection on a Algerian defender. I remember how he opened his mouth shouting goooaaallll raising one hand up and his team mates raced after him. Algeria equalised in the second half after a Nigerian player was given a red card. I remember once again Bright Omokaro's role in that game. It was 10players of Nigeria against 11players of Algeria. It was late in the game and Algeria had already made all 3 changes same with Nigeria. Omokaro committed a professional foul on an Algerian. He was stretchered out and Could not continue the game. Omokaro shouted 10-10!Which became his Nickname to date.Algeria played the rest of the game with 10men just like Nigeria. Nigeria won on penalties. Peter Rufai was in goal for Nigeria and Nasir Udeen for Algeria.It was like 9-8 or 10-9 on penalties or something. We played Cameroun in the final and lost through Emmanuel Kunde'e well taken penalty.1-0 was the final score. We won silver. I have not missed any AFCON since then even in 1996, and 1998 that we were banned. |

| Education › Re: Medicine Vs Engineering. by Syenite(m): 3:01pm On Feb 03, 2013 |
I give you 3 scenerios here: 1) For porpose of gaining admission: Engineering is better or easier. Lower cut-off compared with Medicine. There are several engineering courses: Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics, Civil, Petroleum, Chemical, Metalurgical & Materials, Mining, Computer, Production etc. That requires u to take English, Maths, Chemistry and Physics in Jamb. If u dnt get a particular engineering course of choice u can have option of other engineering courses and also sciences like Geology, Geophysics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics etc, bc they also take Maths, Chemistry and Physics as Jamb requirements. However if u apply for Medicine, u take English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, if u dnt get Medicine u will have other options like: Pharmacy, Biochemistry,Geology, Anatomy, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology etc. U can see that engineering has better alternatives 2) Engineering is more lucrative in Nigeria than Medicine but Medical doctors are more likely to secure jobs or get self employed. In engineering u can hit it big or u can also live a frustrated life of Joblessness, brain drain or underemployment. 3) The 3rd scenerio has been stated by Lagusta. In my time I applied for Chemical engineering but landed in Geology. I am a Geologist today working with a major Oil Company. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. |
