@OP. am not sure this record will be ratified as a new african record as it was wind assisted at 2.2m/s. Good performance though

Just read the original post and I must say there is nothing suggesting he was joking from the way the OP wrote it.

@OP did you believe it was a joke yourself when you posted it?

redsun: Na wa o. One don't get to hear this ancient oyinbo traditions unless he is in the midst of Africans.

For man to believe that a man like him can be born without spersm,be a special son of god,became a radical,killed by the the ruling authority of his time,buried,rose from sealed tomb and ascended into space shows how gullible and stupid a man can be,even in the 21st century.

He still can't see that he is no different from the chicken that he kills and eat with his family after Sunday service.

Yes Sir, all of us who believe in Jesus in the 21st century are gullible and stupid

'Don't blame Drogba and Toure'

Ivory Coast striker Lacina Traore, who played few minutes during the Elephants’ quarterfinal clash with Nigeria on Sunday, told supersport.com his side didn’t lose because they underestimated the Super Eagles but rather because the Nigerians were superior.

The all-West African cracker ended 2-1 in favour of the Super Eagles, who are now through to the semifinals of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

“We made serious preparation because we knew playing Nigeria would be tough but once on the pitch Mikel Obi and his mates quickly seized the midfield, cutting off the link to our front men. This happened for much of the first half, which hindered us from getting a foothold as soon as possible in the meeting,” Traore said.

The Anzhi Makhachkala top scorer refused to blame his captain, Didier Drogba, and reigning African Footballer of the Year ,Yaya Toure, both of whom local fans say failed to live up to expectation and caused their unexpected exit from the tournament.

“Drogba and Toure are great players. They did their best but the problem was that Nigeria were too much. They overwhelmed us, not just the two players alone. I can understand their (fans) anger but they have to blame the whole team and not just Drogba and Toure.”

Traore also gave kudos to Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi for his “creative and pragmatic” solution for the quarterfinals.

“Imagine, a number of sports pundits in Ivory Coast were saying this coach would not be able to come up with any solution to surmount the Ivorian hurdle but he did eventually. He was able to make our team sterile, visionless and stupid. He was creative and pragmatic. At a time, on the bench, we were wondering if this was the team that drew 1-1 against Burkina Faso in the group phase.”

Where does the future lie for the country’s best footballer generation after failing once again to crown their long walk with a continental title? Traore says the future remains bright.

“When I hear people say it is all over for this team I feel sad. Players come and go but the team will be here. Even if Drogba doesn’t win an Afcon title, it doesn’t me Ivory Coast will never be able to win the trophy one day.”

I dont even know where these websites are getting their information from. Mikel wasn't even booked in our last match...only Ogude and Mba received yellow cards. So where are they getting their details from?

My opinion of the top 6 is in alignment with yours, though I probably would swap Abedi Pele with Salif Keita

CAMNEWTON4PRES: Marc Vivien Foe(Cameroon) midfielder
Omam Biyik(Cameroon) striker
Alioum Boukar(Cameroon) goalkeeper . Only undefeated goalkeeper in Afcon history.

Alain Gouamene and Boubacar Barry ( both of Ivory Coast) like Alioum Boukar did'nt concede a goal in regulation time in 1992 and 2012 Afcons respectively

The poster did not in any way say that was Nigeria's last match (Therefore mentioning blue jersey or "Fly Emirates" doesn't disprove the photo).

From all indication, that was the second half of the Nigeria Vs Greece match at south africa 2010- a competition for which "Fly Emirates" were sponsors and a match we remember for the infamous Sani Kaita karate kick.

....His posture may well have been photoshopped though, but I vividly remember he had a hell of a day in goal!

A PASTOR who is unequally yoke with a non-christian and a known tribalist coming together to do what

@JustGood

The bolded aspect of portions of your statement above is really unfortunate and if nothing else smacks of the tribalism/bigotry, which by inference, you have accused buhari of. If this is really a belief you hold and follow deeply, then I wonder if you would be able to vote for any candidate as by necessity all other candidates have involved a level of "unequal yokedness"

I will also want to take it that you dont have "non-Christian" friends, colleagues or have and will never work for a common goal with a "non-christian" boss. This is what i would expect if you are someone of "integrity" (a quality you have accused Bakare of lacking) who puts their money where their mouth is
