Man! I remember this game Ikpeba let us down and Babangida should have started.
naptu2: Ghana-Nigeria 2000 Nations Cup Final (13 February 2000, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos).
The 2000 Nations Cup was co-hosted by Ghana and Nigeria. Nigeria was just coming out of what was probably the best era in its football history in which it won the 1994 Nations Cup, qualified for its first and second World Cups and won the 1996 Olympics football tournament.
Cameroon had had its golden era in the 1980s, winning two Nations Cups and also reaching the quarterfinals of the 1990 World Cup, but it suffered a terrible slump after that and had a disgraceful appearance at the 1994 World Cup.
Note: Raphael Chukwu Ndukwe, who scored in this match, was one of the television commentators (summariser) during Nigeria’s last match against Cameroon in Uyo on September 1st 2017.
Samuel Eto’o gave Cameroon the lead in the 26th minute off a freekick and Patrick Mboma doubled the lead 31st minute. Chukwu Ndukwe scored for Nigeria just before half time and Jay Jay Okocha equalised for Nigeria at the beginning of the second half via a thunderous strike. It was 2-2 at the end of extra time and then came the penalty kicks.
Okocha and Godwin Okpara scored their penalties for Nigeria as did Patrick Mboma and Pierre Wome for Cameroon. Then Kanu missed his penalty and Geremi scored his. Ikpeba was adjudged to have missed his penalty, despite the fact that it actually crossed the line (Ikpeba didn’t help matters. He put his hand on his head as if he had missed). Marc Vivian Foe also missed his penalty.Oliseh scored and Rigobert Song also scored to give Cameroon their third Nations Cup victory. It ended
It is about what? You guys pray everyday claiming you communicate with god but how come there is just so many disagreements among you lot about what god wants, why not just ask god?
TellMeNothing: Good message.. But what i don't like is when we Christians or people try to use hell and heaven as the threat or reaso people should come to christ..
Sunday seems to be the day for the loons to come out and exhibit their delusions with pride. refiner OP, don't you see how silly your pictures are where it's white people who control the affairs of your god, then black and dark coloured people and beings are in hell. Hope you have started bleaching your skin.
There is nothing to lose if you believe and find out about heaven and hell but what about you? You believe, spend waste all your time, resources and severe potentially meaningful relationships because of your extremism only to soon find out christianity and all other religions are not only false but based on ignorance and stone-age superstition.
FYI, if heaven and hell and your version of christianity is true, then your ancestors ie. your greatgrandparents and their parents etc, siblings, etc are all roasting in hell and it won't stop it would continue forever. It is this same god that is torturing your people you choose to waste your time on spreading nonsense. Your god cared so much about you, black woman, that after over a 1000 years of christianity's invention and existence, it was then the all-knowing god remembered to come with slave masters and colonisers to save you from hell fire, just you o, not your parents' parents
I assume you are very young that's why I have written all these. The internet is powerful, use it to verify your beliefs and not peddle nonsense like someone who had no education.
$500m down the drain It's because it's always not their money that's why all these sham parades continue. Okay, time for another election, another opportunity to seek foreign aid.
You really have many imagined enemies. Deal with them
attackgat: You are just another timewaster who will be begging Northern Nigeria for restructuring for the bext 1,000 years as the slave you are.
I asked you a simple question. Who else un Africa has fought for the freedom of his people like Ojukwu?
Let me tell the reality of Nigeria incase you dont know, it is the same reality Ojukwu saw 50 years ago, and it still remains the same:
"There are only two types of people in Nigeria, those who seek their independence such as Ojukwu, Kanu, IPOB, MASSOB etc and those who have accepted to become perpetual slaves of the North"
You guys have your minds made up anyway so ... FYI I have an igbo ancestry and knowing facts, I say over and over that Ojukwu is the biggest coward in history. Check the history books, no one even comes close. Restructuring is the best we've got. I suggest rather you waste your time fantasising about Ojukwu, you put it to good use by learning skills that would make you valuable and put some money in your pockets so that you can leave some for your children.
If you had at least N10m in your account, you won't be looking forward to chaos. It is only street urchins and hoodlums that look forward to such
Ojukwu, the son of one the richest men in Nigeria but forsaked his father wealth and joined the Army?
Ojukwu who fought in the Congo?
Ojukwu who declared the independence of his people and fought the combined military might of Nigeria, Britain and Russia for 3 years?
This is the man you call a coward just because he didnt stay back to allow you Nigerians slaughter him?
Tell me another individual in Nigeria who has fought for the freedom of his people like Ojukwu did? No one.
It is because you suffer from slave mentality is the reason yoy dont know anything about freedom fighting. Nigeria fought, killed and starved millions to death because of Oil money. Ojukwu fought for the freedom of his people, Nigeria fought for money. Which is more noble? As an Igbo man, Im proud of Ojukwu for fighting for the freedom of our people rather than choose the easy option all others chose of being slaves of the North.
The millions that died did not die for nothing, the Biafra they died for is now more alive than ever.
If the war was needless, why did you Nigerians come to the East to fight for 3 years? Ojukwu fought for his people, went into exhile, returned later and accepted Nigeria. When he started enjoying his entitlements as a Nigerian such as contesting elections, you haters called him out. So when Ojukwu was for Biafra, you people were against him. When he now was for ONE NIGERIA, you people are still against him. Ojukwu led his people in a fight for freedom and and independence and we make no apologies for it. Nigeria turned out to be a monumental disaster since the end of the war, proving Ojukwu right.
Nnamdi Kanu is talking about freedom and people like yoy are talking about restructuring, which everbody already knows that the North will never ever agree to.
You people clamouring for restructuring are just time wasters.
Apparently, you are still a little boy that doesn't even know that state government funds is Nigerian funds but I'm glad you also admitted. He hid in a bunker FACT I won't teach you where to find that. He ran away like the coward that he is, FACT. Why didn't you talk about his family currently feeding fat from the Nigerian state?
My guy, go find your own o so you go leave something tangible for your children and quit this Ojukwu nonsense, only sorrow it would bring you and your Ilk. Listen to those who lost everything during the war, learn from the Biafra commanders who Ojukwu abandoned when he ran. Use your head and don't be stupid.
Advice no be curse
victor8269: I have evidence ohhh, concrete one cos I attended his burial, Olodo. More than 75% of his burial expenses was by the state government n Igbo billionaires all over, @ a point, d family rejected Fed govt support. People like u shouldn't be found near journalism, u r spoiling our noble profession. Lying is now regarded as hate speech so be careful what you say, our military now have new ad-hoc duties. Ojukwu left Nigeria during the way not a bunker, he was taken out by various Igbo leaders who wanted him out to preserve an Icon of the Igbo race. Go back to your secondary school and collect Ur school fees, it's obvious that your history teacher was a fraudster
Their stories appeared to have been taken as cock and bull stories and thus rejected by the Immigration Appeals. The news of the rejection oftheir application met with some furore in Iceland and an online petition was set up for them to be able to stay in the country.
9jatatafo: I am still amazed at what made Connor to accept Mayweather's fighting terms. Was it for the money or what? I don't just understand the whole scenerio. its like FIFA allowing a basketball team to play a football team.
Are you joking Connor gets the biggest payday of his life, Mayweather potentially gets his fattest paycheck and you're asking what the fight was for?
aputel: You can do more than that now. You better don't walk into your death , I don't use juju but I know beyond all doubt that there is juju , and you can walk around and slap a tested Ogboni man ,you will be made to float in the air until you die
'Successful' should have been defined before making the list. Are all rich people successful? Maybe they are ... Evans was successful, until he got caught. Babangida and Danjuma are successful if Alakija is.
Abeg, criminals too many for Nigeria, make us try to promote good role models for the future generations. Please.
I don't expect you to agree with all of it, but at least you are with me in acknowledging that Ojukwu was the biggest coward that ever lived. Provide a name if you think there's someone else who deserves the honour.
Now, I'll tell you what miserable is. Miserable is when out of the over 7billion people alive today and the billions that had once lived, it is Ojukwu, the infamous coward, you not only choose as a model but also idolise. His family is right in front of you eating fat from Nigeria and you want to break your poverty stricken undereducated vacuous skull for Biafra. If you could read, you would have understood by now that the millions of men and women including children who died of starvation and malnutrition from the foolish egotist maniac's tantrum, died for nothing. Your hero and his family proves this.
FYI, Ojukwu was buried by the Nigerian state. His family are ambassadors of the country he led innocent families to fight a needless war against. He hid in a bunker, ran off then returned and continued to contest elections. Shameless somebody, even sea captains go down with a foundering ship. Even the hate-filled Nnamdi Kanu has much bigger balls than the coward could even imagine.
People are clamoring for a restructured Nigeria, don't distract us with your Ojukwu and Biafra nonsense.
victor8269: Buried by d Nigerian state?. Stop alcohol, u won't hear, now look @ Ur miserable life. What a waste of Ur father's sexual stamina
Exactly, missed opportunity to get his points across and become quite popular. All he earned himself now is a spot on the DSS watchlist and a firing from his employer
Mujtahida: Just the same impression I had. Too much bitterness. Everything he wrote- save the dear/fellow issue which I feel is needless- are worthy talking points but his bitterness brims to the surface and muddies things.
Ojukwu, the biggest Coward that ever lived Ran away leaving his people to die like crickets, came back, renounced Biafra, contested to lead 'Nigeria', lived on 'Nigeria's' pension, wife and in-laws long-term and serving ambassadors of 'Nigeria', and buried by the Nigerian state.
princetom1: I don't normally comment on post like this because of the hate being manifested here by the so called youth. Are the guys commenting on this topic youths at all? Do they go to school at all and pass exam? I am yet to see anyone comment anything that shows intelligence. When Mr Charles Ogbu address Mr president speech, he does it intelligently, based on what he heared and is fact. Looking at it, without being biased, he is almost 100% correct. Can anyone imagine trump leaving the US for more than 100 days? When British wanna leave European union, did European union stop them? I am not into politics, am not supporting anyone bt even if the country divide, are these the set of people that wanna move it forward? All i see is empty brains and bootlicker both the north, south, east and Central
Too much bile from the writer. Hard to read with too many 'I am your employer, I pay your salary ... ' how much be the guy tax sef? Anyway, this should be easy for DSS
