England will be the first proper footballing nation Argentina will face over the course of this tournament.

I am eager to see how they will fare against England.

What happened to the other 'proper footballing nations'? They were either kicked out by nations that are not proper footballing or never even qualified to start with.

They refused to state his tribal surname but the traditional attire gave him away.🤣🤣🤣

1Alex:
he is not Igbo that's the point.

Tribalism is a real problem and Hausas, Igbos and Yorubas are the ones that championed it. Living in denial will not change anything.

Get over it..
My cousin have tried to be recruited by Rangers for years but they never signed him. He is at Enugu as we speak, and he is a full blooded igbo btw. ..

That you became a good player later in life, doesn't mean you were good at the time you were with them. Rangers as a club has helped lots of non igbo players to the top.. As at today, a lot of their players and recent managers are not even igbos.

Taribo West is not igbo, he played for Rangers and became a Super Eagles player. The list is endless. Yall should get off the igbo mans dikc..
And to Moses and his cat legs..,Make we hear word ahbegi..

You had to bring Taribo West into the gist to prove nothing! Tribalism is a problem in Nigeria whether you like it or not. It is not peculiar to the south east alone. Every region of Nigeria is suffering from it and living in denial will not end it.

1Alex:
Daft statement. How can someone say this in public?

Ai has replied you

Rangers International FC of Enugu has never been an exclusively Igbo team, although it has traditionally had a strong Igbo identity. Over the decades, the club has signed players from many parts of Nigeria.

Current non-Igbo players (2025/26–2026 squad)

Based on the current squad, identifiable non-Igbo players include:

Lucky Jimoh – Goalkeeper (Yoruba, Kwara State)

Abdullateef Ishola – Goalkeeper (Yoruba)

Godwin Asiriuwa – Midfielder (Edo)

There are also a few players whose names do not clearly indicate Igbo origin, but their ethnic backgrounds are not publicly documented, so it would be speculative to classify them.


Notable non-Igbo players who have played for Rangers

Some well-known examples include:

Christian Pyagbara – Bayelsa (Ijaw) – Striker

Godwin Obaje – Benue (Idoma) – Striker and league top scorer

Tope Olusesi – Ogun (Yoruba) – Midfielder

Osas Okoro – Edo – Winger

Ayo Saka – Ogun (Yoruba) – Defender

Bashir Usman – Northern Nigeria – Midfielder

Kabiru Balogun – Northern Nigeria – Defender

Ismaila Gata – Plateau (Berom) – Forward.


Rangers has also had players from Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Benue, Plateau, Bayelsa, and Yoruba-speaking states at various times, especially since the professional league era began in the 1990s.

Historically, while Rangers was founded as a symbol of post-civil-war Igbo resilience, the club has recruited on merit and has featured successful non-Igbo players for decades.

So Kabiru Balogun is a northerner too?

TopBanter:
My point is that he is right to cite that cost of living is significantly high in the UK but wide off the mark to state 60k monthly salary for Nigerians in Nigeria is comparatively better than what Britons earn.

Where in the world is the cost of living low?

TopBanter:
Bwala has a valid point because Nigerians in Britain are burdened by hugely high cost of living.

He did not even include so many other expenses like Council tax etc. If you run a Car, big chunk of money to drive and insure.

After all that though, claiming Nigerians earning 60k Naira monthly are better off than Britons on £2800 is arrogant in my opinion and indicative of how Nigerian leaders are over-privileged and disconnected from the daily struggle and plight of the average Nigerian.

I believe, even conservatively, every Nigerian requires 300k monthly to meet their living expenses.

If every Nigerian requires #300,000 to meet their monthly needs, how is Bwala making a valid point? You think Nigerians in US are finding it easy? Na WA o! That man is plain stupid and there should not be any reason for anyone to support him.

Yet people claim it's Muslim thing

Take a look how this thing is going
Be careful who you talk to

Yes it is a Muslim thing. I remember 2011 or so in plateau state how fulanis killed even pregnant women in Dogo Na Hawa and several other communities, the hausas were just laughing, no condemnation. The one thin I know about violence is that if you harbour it because the perpetrators are your brothers, you will someday be a victim.

TopBanter:
You're correct but their real issue is that they are afraid to be self-dependent because they feel the South is far more advanced and they need 'one Nigeria' till they can catch up in terms of education, wealth, human devellopment ndex , industry, SME capacity, entrepreneural capacity etc.

@Topic. Impressive. I would even wish the North Discover more oil than the SS has so that, hopefully, their worthless leaders would develop their human resources instead of neglecting them so they become menaces to society through terrorism and banditry.

You are vomiting nonsense! There was a time when the northerners wanted Nigeria to be divided and the Igbos said no, where the Igbos then insisting on one Nigeria because they were afraid the north were far advanced and they will not be able to catch up?

ImoleNaija:
Even if she dey stay Lekki, she no fit make am.

Assuming she sells each corn at #500, to make #2.5m monthly sales (not profit o!), she needs to sell 5000 corns monthly (or about 170 daily, unfailingly and she must work 30 days if the month! Good luck to her.

Kanwulia:
Including the CJN!🍷

While we are concentrating on this POLLYWOOD series, The “JAGAGBAJA-BANDIT” squad is tinkering with INEC registration and inserting illegalities into the electoral constitution without ratification.

Watch out!😂

They are working round the clock!

Even pastor shaved her eyebrow and painted her own!

Where's the defense, can you explain?

Well, you were trying to suggest our systems are not fool proof and you are calling for the head of the Adeyemi guy. He is not even close to the problem, many highly places guys in government should be on their way to prosecution, Chief of staff, CBN, national assembly that approved the budget, Head of service that oversaw the allocation of office space at the federal secretariat for the fake agency.

voortrekker966:
Please first tell me how this 'fake' agency got a line in the nation's budget that the president signed. The normal procedure is for the executive to do a rundown of the budget passed by the national assembly. Wasn't that the point he should have been discovered? No! They 'discovered' only when the ministry of foreign affairs reported him; apparently after they've withdrawn and shared the budget money.

Oga, the guy said they had problems regarding the sharing formula and that is why they are attacking him. How can he convince them to include his fake agency in the budget?

Image123:
In other words, you are saying that our systems are failproof and there can be no security breach?



IMHO, such a person is not fit to live if found guilty. This punishment is a slap on the wrist and emboldens criminality.

Systems are fool proof? Your type are the main problem of this country. How can you even try to defend this nonsense? He even managed to get them to give him budgetary allocation? Is that what you are trying to explain? That someone scammed the government to include his fake agency in the budget? Government officials are robbing the country blue black and you are here trying to defend them. Shame!

bukatyne:
If he spends N160k on only protein, do you think N450k will be enough for his expenses in a month?

So N290k is enough for foodstuff, light, alternative power, transportation, black tax (if any), responsibilities in his house/ church/ mosque, child care, and other miscellaneous expenses.

It seems you guys need to link us up. There must be a Nigeria behind this Nigeria we are living in.

He said "just feeding".

yarimo:
Mr governor please you should remember your other friends in that picture

He will not, I promise you. He will not fail to sing the wicked man's anthem "Nobody owes you anything!" If they beg for support he will tell them they should work hard like him. No be Nigerian?😎

UkoAnnang:


Mr. Op, I may disagree with you that this story of yours is fake and nothing but a mere story to engage nairalanders comments. Here is my fact. 1. The young man has no further education and accepts a primary six (FSLC) certificate. That could not be true. [b]No man or parent gets certified if his/her children haven't gone beyond primary six, no matter how poor the family may be. [/b]If you have said the young man has completed his secondary school, I would have believed you.



At this I declare your story void.



Thank you.

So every adult in Nigeria has a secondary school certificate? SMH

LordIsaac:
That man overestimated his worth. He dared Tinubu; behold the outcome!

That is why I call GEJ a coward. This is what goodluck should have done to Elrufai but he sat down watching like a cow till Elrufai snatched power out of his hand.

BlackViper:
I have so many questions after reading this article. For example, what do the two quoted statements below actually mean?





I've also heard that the Hisbah who enforce Sharia law typically target bars and restaurants in these areas of Kano for selling alcohol, but rather curiously they have a habit of leaving these dan daudus alone. How true is this?

You see what many people fail to get is that homosexuality is a very very old practice in the north, all these southerners doing it today are just learning work

nairalanda1:
My saying that he is from South Africa does not mean I support what is happening to chidinma, especially since she is not the topic of this thread.

Also, it does not mean I believe that you are a mother of five children, all boys , nor does it mean that you are a married trans woman from Portland in Oregon.

The man is a South African. You may not like it, and I do not like the madt zenophobia, especially since ANC hasn't done much to fix the economic lssues that led to it, but he is a South African

Unless you have proof, hold your peace, and stop behaving like you are not your age. I believe you are an adult and I expect better from you.

They said Chidinma that was born there is considered unworthy of living in south Africa but a Pakistani man born there can be minister, instead of addressing the post, you are busy talking haphazardly.

Rapmoney:
Which of the following countries DOES NOT belong here?

A) Nigeria
B) Ghana
C) India
D) Brazil

Give the correct answer with a concrete reason.

The answer is Ghana. It is the only country with under 100 million people.

That record no. 9, I don't get it, what kind of record is that? Messi already has 29 appearances.

God1000:
America has been exposed and taught a lesson to the fullest by Iran, they will never try to invade another country again


Just imagine what Donald trump would have done to countries like Colombia, Cuba, Greenland etc if he had succeeded in Iran


The capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela gave him the hope that he can attack, invade and kill leaders of sovereign countries and nothing will happen

I tell you. Maduro was just unfortunate that he was captured before the US-Iran war, had Iran been attacked first, US will be too exhausted to look the way of Venezuela.
