Guys, meanwhile, use style to enjoy some career highlights of Super Eagles, Real Betis, and Ajax Champions League winning legend, Finidi George, known as ‘The Gazelle’ at Ajax for his elegance and composure on the ball, and to Super Eagles fans, simply as ‘Finito’.

In his heyday he was rated the best attacking right winger in the world (No. 7).

Legendary Brazilian and Barcelona left-back Roberto Carlos was once asked which player he feared the most in La Liga. His response, “Figo and Finidi”.

alimiadedayo1:
you are not supporting them but you are giving an analogy to support them.. Reverse psychology, even if the world is failing we have no reasons to fail and nothing concerns us if America or European countries is failing. This is our nation

Oh, so all the other countries on Earth have a ''reason to fail'', except Nigeria?

Do you think it's only Nigeria that has resources or oil or whatever it is you think makes you special?

Rubbish.

If the world is experiencing an economic downturn, don't expect Nigeria to be unaffected.

Nothing special about you.

OVB123:
I don't know why Africa continent have one thing common "backwardness". When the people think that they have elected the best in office, it turns out to be worst. Mtcheeew!

SHUT UP. How many of the 54 African countries can you even name, not to mention knowing what is happening there?

Many African countries are progressing fast, so just shut your face there.

Ignorant thing.

opes:
If a foreign coach has the same CV/record of Amuneke, will you clamour for him to lead the super eagles?

VERY WRONG QUESTION.

The white coaches you worship were given that first chance by their own countries, which made them to blow.

SO GIVE YOUR OWN TOP LOCAL COACHES THE SAME CHANCE TO BLOW.

Who else will give them the chance if YOU don't?

What did Jurgen Klinsmann achieve as a coach before he was made national team coach of Germany in 2004?

NOTHING.

It was his FIRST coaching job!

Interesting appointment.

So she was Obi supporter before?

This country ehn? Chai!!

Watch this video to cure your colonial self hatred, ignorance, white worship, and racial inferiority complex.

Rexymania:
Honestly, we are more intelligent than these white people... I don't know what went wrong with the black race. We didn't believe in ourselves

I was a deliberate programme of colonial brainwashing after the military invasions with firearms.

It started with their forcing their christian religion on us. They did this by seizing the resources of the land by military force, and then insisting that access to those resources was possible only by graduating from their English missionary schools, and getting a job as a clerk, teacher etc.

To be admitted into the schools you had to relinquish your religion, get baptised, and get an English name.

Eventually the most powerful chiefs and merchants felt obliged to send their kids to the schools, so they would not midd out in the new dispensation, and their kids went there, and were forced to abandoned their traditional knowledge, technology, religion etc, which was subjected to the most vicious vilification and slander in those schools, such that anyone who attended them began to look down on everything African.

Till the point we are at today, where anything suggestive of ancestral intelligence and knowledge is scorned and dismissed by ourselves.

Pure colonial brainwashing.

These ancestors we are talking about did not see God as a white person. They did not see their 'saviour' as a white man.

God to them was BLACK LIKE THEM.

When you have that kind of mindset, how can you lack self belief or feel inferior or incapable?

Anything you want to do, you will just do.

Ddeliverer007:
Who is Peter Obi and why does he keep giving you sleepless nights? Has atiku criticized? Has Sowore criticized? Why Peter Obi? Focus on your tinubu na. 😂

Shey he won the election? Focus on the President.

Because I just read about Obi making a statement to the effect that ''people in government steal more in one day than Yahoo boys steal in one year''.

So I was wondering if this saintly, righteous man called Peter Obi - this Angel Gabriel of our times - ever called out his boss, General Sani Abacha for his grand looting, criminality and blood lust, EVEN AFTER his boss passed away.

Has he said ANYTHING AT ALL about General Sani Abacha, whom he served FAITHFULLY for several years?

Ogiame:
How much is a bag of rice?

''Oh look there! Don't look here, where I stink!''

Try another trick.

Has Peter Obi Ever Condemned His Boss, General SANI ABACHA For Looting Funds and Executing Pro-Democracy Activists?

Peter Obi, the military dictator Gen Sani Abacha appointed you Chairman of Tin Can Island Port, Lagos, at a time when Tinubu and others were in NADECO risking their lives in the fight for democracy, and fighting the dictator, who had executed Ken Saro Wiwa and other activists.

Abacha's loot is known to have been in the billions of dollars.

Have you ever ONCE condemned General Sani Abacha for killing Ken Saro Wiwa and other activists, and jailing many others unjustly, and even causing many to flee the country?

Have you ONCE condemned General Sani Abacha for looting the treasury, Mr Peter Obi?

Godfullsam:
Your wapped mind is always fixed on looting/corruption.

I hope you don't find yourself in the corridor of power in the future.

I am not saying there won't be people trying to cut corners and take advantage of these development to loot, but that shouldn't be the first thing your mind will imagine.

He is satanic. That's why he reasons like that.

Shawnnn01:
But that Ghana president Sabi to de speak English anyhow like obidiebt ipob.

That man blows too much grammar instead of working.

The town of the discovery of one of the largest glass factories is called Igbo Olokun.

Very interesting name.

I read that there were places in Yorubaland that were once settled by ancient Igbos.

Is this place one of them?

Dronedude:
This would have been a painstaking process with a noble outcome. Engineering is as old as you can imagine.

Indeed, my brother. We have so much to learn about our past, it's unreal.

kestolove95:
Shame to Africa

WHICH AFRICA?

This is GHANA.

Leave 'Africa' out of your rubbish please.

Ivory Coast that is next door to Ghana just held the AFCON which was perfect in its execution.

So this is all about GHANA.

Leave ''Africa'' OUT of it.

Rubbish.

The 13th All African Games in Ghana is embarrassing Ghanaians before the entire Africa, and the people of Ghana are not smiling at all, as the games keep getting marred by POWER CUTS.

An entire stadium was plunged into darkness for 30 minutes, as contestants from across Africa struggled to find their way in the pitch darkness of the stadium!

Not just power cuts. The top Ghanaian biker in the cycling category has had to use his own personal bicycle for the event, because the Ghanaian sports authorities did not provide their cyclists with bicycles as is the norm in such tournaments.

Just total mismanagement and disgrace throughout!

I always laugh when I see these colonial brainwashed Nigerians looking down on their ancestors, simply because of how the British colonialists misrepresented and slandered them.

But our ancestors knew chemistry.

You cannot produce glass without a deep knowledge of chemistry.

How many of you now, if you were asked to produce glass, would have the slightest clue how to do it?

This is is why I have decided that EVERYTHING our ancestors did in the past deserves full respect and investigation to see if we can LEARN something from it.

INCLUDING THEIR RELIGION, which we were forced and brainwashed to abandon, in order to worship a white man we now call our ''saviour''.

TUFIA KWA.

Because if our ANCESTORS were smart enough to build paved roads, glass, and even beautiful, crime-free cities with streetlights, underground drainage and multi-storey buildings as was reported by European visitors to 15th century Benin, then THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH THEIR RELIGION and SYSTEMS OF ADMINISTRATION AS WELL.

Oh, one last thing. Our ancestors built the largest man-made structure existing on EARTH today.

Only visible in its entirety from OUTER SPACE.

The Benin Wall and Rampart system.

It was recorded in the 1974 Guinness Book of Records as being 4 times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consuming a hundred times more material than was used to build the largest pyramid in Egypt, the Pyramid of Khufu.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace

Today, we are prominent in the Guinness Book of Records for winning the longest cooking contest in a kitchen.

Just to show you the heights from which we have fallen.

THEY KNOW OUR HISTORY, BUT WE DON'T, AND DON'T EVEN SEEM TO CARE. WHY?

Glass was Made in Africa Centuries Before Arrival of Europeans, Says New Evidence

Chemical analysis of beads found at a site in Nigeria reveals a composition entirely unique to the region

Josh Gabbatiss
Science Correspondent

''Glass was produced in sub-Saharan Africa long before Europeans arrived, according to scientists studying beads found in Nigeria.

Chemical analysis of glass found at a Nigerian archaeological site revealed a distinct composition entirely unique to the region.

The finding contradicts a long-held assumption that glass was brought to sub-Saharan Africa by traders from the Mediterranean or the Middle East...''



https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2018/01/19/17/glass-beads-africa.jpg


Igbo Olokun, the site where the beads were discovered, is in the north of an ancient city and regional centre of power called Ile-Ife – the ancestral home of West Africa’s Yoruba people.

“This area has been recognised as a glass-working workshop for more than a century,” said Dr Abidemi Babatunde Babalola, an anthropologist at Harvard University who led the research project.

The abundance of glass beads found in Ile-Ife has been associated with the many shrines and sculptures historically located there – however, archaeologists have presumed they were evidence of trade with distant nations.

“The glass-encrusted containers and beads that have been uncovered there were viewed for many years as evidence that imported glass was remelted and reworked,” said Dr Babalola.

There have been suggestions over the past decade from researchers that the glass production in Ile-Ife was in fact an entirely local affair, but evidence for such an industry was lacking.

Now, the beads and glass working debris found and analysed by Dr Babalola and his collaborators appear to resolve the matter.

“The Igbo Olokun excavations have provided that evidence,” Babalola said.

Of the 12,000 glass beads found at the site, the researchers analysed 52 and found none matched the composition of glass produced anywhere else.

Two groups of glass were found at Igbo Olokun, one with high levels of lime and alumina, and one with low levels of lime and high levels of alumina.

Both were identified as unique to the region, and Dr Babalola and his team noted their composition reflected the local geology and raw materials that were available.

Notably, the glass found at Igbo Olokun was also dated to between the 1100s and 1500s, centuries before Europeans established trade networks in West Africa.

“We are now confident beyond reasonable doubt that both the high lime-high alumina and low lime, high alumina groups of glass represent a glass produced in early Ile-Ife using local recipes, raw materials and technology,” wrote the researchers in their paper documenting the findings.

Their results are published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The occurrence of similar beads in other West African societies, as revealed by other archaeological excavations, indicated the glass produced at Igbo Olokun was part of a wider regional trading network.

But no.

We must wait for JULIUS BERGER of Germany, or CCECC of China before we can have paved roads or sidewalks today.

Why?

It's just terrible.

Colonialism just cut us off completely from our ancient technology which we could have developed to world class standards by now.

Instead, today we look for toxic materials to pave our surroundings, and after 3 years or less, they deteriorate with potholes everywhere.

But these ancient pavements dated thousands of years old have stood the test of time, because they are of indigenous innovation, and therefore suited perfectly to our territory and climate.

I understand we also manufactured GLASS in industrial quantities for export many hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.

Researchers have found evidence of large ancient glass factories in southwest Nigeria.

Here are some of the ancient pavements of Ife, Ilorin, Benin etc dating back thousands of years before Europeans knew what a pavement was.

Our ancestors paved roads as well as their own houses and compounds, using broken potsherd edges and stones.

WHY CAN'T AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE NO ROADS OR SIDEWALKS, DO THIS TODAY USING OUR TRADITIONAL PAVING TECHNOLOGY?

Dsimmer:
One thing to know is it's stupid for anyone to change his identity because of a religion. The Asians are still Asians with their identity today and are doing fantastically great. Point is If God is said to be all knowing, he should know everyone's identity which is the person's culture/heritage, hence God is not stupid nor dumb to not understand all the languages spoken to him. You don't have to change your culture in order to communicate with God, except the person is saying God is stupid and doesn't understand that there are diverse races on earth who speak diverse languages. In fact, anyone who does such in a bid to communicate with God is more or less saying God is stupid!

In fact , if I were to talk about the Yoruba religion, Ifa which is filled with a lot such as science, innovation, creativities etc and yes, fasting is no stranger to Yoruba religion. Fasting is what is called "Isera" in Ifa while prayer/petition is called "Ibewe". So all these things are not strange to Yoruba religion. Yoruba had always known about Isera before Jesus fasted on earth. Jesus was regarded as the first to fast in these foreign religions yet the Yoruba already knew about fasting (Isera). As a matter of fact, fasting has no specific time because it's between you and your God. In fact, your fasting mustn't be known to anyone. That's why it's called Isera. So, that's about Isera and Ibewe in Yoruba religion.

While Isera is related to prayer, it's also a principle to ensure discipline and fitness, especially for the gluttons who know next to nothing than food. However, this doesn't mean one should constantly starve himself because that's also not healthy hence the idea behind aseje.

Secondly, God expects nothing from anyone except for the creations to go display their intelligence and creative talents to make the world a civilized better place.. Also see others as oneself in the sense that what you don't want done to you, don't do it to others. Don't steal for example if you don't want it done to you.

Speaking of intelligence and creativity for example, a lot of things mentioned in Ifa is to civilize the people. Gbere sinsin done by making incision and also squeezing juices from medicinal plants into the incision made for example were known as traditional acupuncture back then which later birthed the idea of syringe injection. Aseje is the principle that birthed taking meal before medication which is applied in hospital today. And so-on. Meanwhile, the aseje was part of what birthed the several Yoruba's cuisines 😂 Also, The Yoruba already started road construction before the Europeans came. Not to mention agriculture, mathematics, creative arts and designs etc.

You are 1000% correct.

Here are some of the ancient pavements of Ife dating back thousands of years before white people knew what a pavement was.

Our ancestors paved roads as well as their own houses and compounds.

MaxInDHouse:
Our own people has handcuffed the Gods and they are all hypocrites and thieves.

Ask them:

Do you want 24/7 power supply?
Do you want good roads?
Do you want housing and feeding to be cheap?
Do you want peace and security?
Do you want justice?

To all these questions they will all shout "YES"

But then ask them if all civil servants should be paid equal salary that's when they will start insulting you.

It's like we all had a gigantic tuber of yarn and a big knife we also chose a leader to share it among us but we don't want him to share it equally for everyone to have a fair chance abeg who will not say:
"èmi ló kàn"
"It's my turn"

So don't mind them they're all wicked at heart if the Gods should interfere they will kill everyone who is in support of iniquity not just those in power because all of them have the same thing in mind.

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Thank you my brother. You are indeed a wise man, with the golden wisdom of our ancestors.

When the Gods return (because they will return) they will know the heart of everyone, including those who will resist fairness and equality, and they will act accordingly to cleanse humanity, as you have stated.

Dtruthspeaker:
He-dot! Is it religion that created and built things or people? And is the topic about buding things or about worshipping things you create? And by forgetting your own post you prove you are M.O.R.O.N!

LOW IQ.

He doesn't understand the connection between religio-cultural independence and socio-economic development.

Go back to sucking white nuts.

That's what you were born to do.

Air head.

Obidients’ IQ is too low to absorb this type of wisdom.

OP, please have mercy on them.

So this is the new propoganda method ApC government is using?

Use jobless people by paying them ₦30k to go online spreading fake and misleading information just to whitewash their failures?

They'll never include any source and when they do, you'll discover they're all lies.

Bag of rice is still above ₦70k.(Mama Bull is ₦83k)
Spag ₦1100
Soap I was buying ₦3500 for 3 is now one for ₦2500.


Believe whatever online if you're gullible.

Go to the market to see for yourself.

Shut up.

Is there only one market in Nigeria?

Price increase and decrease doesn’t occur uniformly across one city, never mind the entire country, so you just typed rubbish.

crackhouse:
Which good news? Super pack they sold for 5700 naira before Rose to 17k and drop to 14k and u said it's good news? How?

You have no sense.

Price falls gradually just as it rises gradually.

Did it jump from 5700 naira to 17k overnight?

No.

But it must fall back overnight to the lowest price before you see progress.

Rubbish.

Imagine being angry and upset that prices are falling?

These animals hate Nigeria.

Disgusting, despicable specimens.

FarmPlanetNG:
Eternal fire is not a joke. And it will.be too late to make amends and repent after death. Accept Jesus Christ today because there is no repentance after death. And dying in sin means to be thrown into eternal fire

Shut your brainwashed, lying face.

Only an absolute BRAINWASHED person believes the nonsense that the SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS AND ISN’T will “burn you in fire” for anything you have done as an ignorant, fallible human SOUL separated temporarily from THE SOURCE by an illusion.

Nyascobar1414:
True. Life is a dream,when we die we wake up

THIS IS ACTUALLY 1000% TRUE.

I have read numerous accounts of near-death experiencers who have been to the Other Side and back, and they ALL say the same thing: That this life is like a dream, and the Afterlife felt far more ‘real’ than this Earth experience.

kingthreat:
They call it blood money for a reason. It eventually graduates to that.

Actually it’s your going to church and mosque that eventually graduates to kidnapping, Yahoo, armed robbery, banditry, corruption and murder.

Those who commit those crimes are Christians and Muslims, not traditional African religionists.
