those naija girls playing it are mostly abroad usa based.. U no see their skin tone?! Normal naija girls no sabi sports except football and maybe volleyball

not USA. Most of them play in Europe thou.

sterlingD:
l noticed this with the men's basketball team too. A very crafty and cunny coach would have observed this and capitalized on it. Have three very good three-point shooters keep the margin of wins of the USA team in the three quarters at a margin of at most five then hit them hard in the last quarter and it is all over though this game plan is not easy and but it can be executed strategically with precision

the USA men team are just too good, they will play at ur own pace. If they think the game is slipping out of their hands, they have guys who can step in and ensure they win. The only team that maybe able to upset them is probably Germany. Although I am rooting for Serbia today. I am always with the under dogs.

SirJerrie:
What's the Student Union's take on the matter?

I heard they have banned student union. Instead of the school to solve the problem that lead to the protest in the first place.

SoliBayNG:
They were too sloppy, not hustling for rebounds and gave too many open looks from downtown to the US team, who have struggled from the 3 point line.
Like how can you leave Sabrina open? She's the Chef of the WNBA.


A. Wilson is a baller, but if we played the way we did in Q4, we would have had a genuine chance of shocking the world.

US become sloppy in the final quarter, and we made use of that advantage. Another thing was that they only started attempting and scoring 3 points in the final quarter. Also they didn't make a lot of 2 pointers in the first 3 quarter.

Smartgeek:
Eeya, they really tried. Small margin of 6 points.
Kudos to them.

14 point not 6, and yes they did well but the game was lost from the first quarter. They showed they weren't going to give up in the last quarter.

I watched one of the long race that guys from Kenya use to win before and I saw white taking all the positions.

DaddyCoool:
Well, like I told u, girl didn't ask to be your girlfriend. You pursued her, she didn't pursue u. You then have to meet her conditions or keep moving

is that why she should be demanding 250k? When did relationship become a transactional something. Imagine giving someone u aren't married too yet 80k out of 800k but she wants to collect 250k. Many workers in Nigeria self don't even earn up to that but someone's daughter want to earn that for free. The chat the op posted isn't complete, there is a part the guy told her to tell her dad or brother to give her that amount, then he was like oh they can't because they still even use to collect from him. Although I don't believe the chat sha.

Emu4life:
Nothing Big. We have people winning Gold for us too.
Congrats to her


NB: Why are idiots crying under my mention. Y'all don't know what they call "opinion"??

we haven't won anything yet thou.

Omo since I have not seen news on nairaland that Nigeria has won a medal, then I will assume we have not won one yet. What about tobi amusan, I haven't heard any news about her recently. It seems her category hasn't begin yet. She seems to be our only hope of a medal.

Tinubu bots are funny. If igbo har protested, they would have blamed Igbos for the protest, now they didn't protest but this guy's still found a way to blame them. Imagine them claiming Igbos are the one that want to turn the north against tinubu. Is that not funny.

SensualMan1:
Tinubu is doing his best to fix the country. Barely 13 months in office and u bitter grieving Obidients expect him to fix the rot of over 25 years in one year? Haba!

I live in Ekiti and rice has been subsidised to 40k per bag. Walk in to any shop and pick urs at 40k.
Transportation has been highly subsidised through this CNG buses everywhere in Ekiti. N800 Transport I used to pay before is now N100
My 9 siblings are currently enjoying student loan and all of them are in higher institution based on student loan. The other just travelled to Canada on Tinubu's student loan.
Everything is soft in Ekiti.

God bless Jagaban

Jagaban till 2043

I almost believed u at first. I wanted to travel all the way to ekiti to buy like 4bags.

Omo logically speaking, we can't beat team USA. But if there is a 1% chance that we can beat them, then I will be very surprised.

I never knew all this apc thug/bots all think the same way. Since them constituting nuisance on the front page.

smokinloud:
You dey kraze, the protesters know who the threat is

I won't waste my time trading insult with u. Try to be a better person, u may just be insulting ur future helper online and u don't know.

Some people are terrible humans. They don't have any human feelings in them. I am not Muslim but one would think it was a Muslim that carried out the attack, if u didn't follow the story initially. Just imagine the nonsense on front page. It is this same people that flame tribal war on nairaland.

saxywale1:
Fulani must go amongst the Anioma and Edo.. They even held a protest. One Nigeria is a big scam.

but guy why now. Did u bring this to point out obi hypocrisy or what because Edo and delta are not in the south east. Also the two scenario are different because the Fulani must go protest is because Fulani herds men where killing farmers from that side.

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless

What is wrong for her to go for sightseeing in France?

that wasn't the only reason why she was sent home

NaughtyBrainiac:
I am a Supporter of BAT and I fully support everyone that intends to come out to protest peacefully.

No matter the hardship an average Nigerian goes through, people in Governemnet can NEVER understand the extent of hardship. This is because they are spending public money. It is ONLY a protest like this that can make them understand how bad things are.

As much as I have fate in BAT, I still strongly believe that he could do better than this. Better in the aspect of finding sustainable ways to ease hardship while we work on securing the future of Nigeria and Nigerians. It is paramount that Nigerians want to survive first, na perosn wey survive today go dey hope for bright future.

All these palliatives are not sustainable in any way, it is just a waste of resources. Those 2 major policies of subsidy removal and Naira floating cannot work at the same time. One must be dropped.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

u are one of tinubus supporter that has made sense since I have been reading news on protest here on nairaland. The rest would rather blame obi as the reason why there is going to be protest ignoring the fact that people everywhere are complaining. I am not a tinubu supporter, neither am I obi or atiku but I think tinubu should be giving some time. Although this one and a half year he has spent, things are not moving in the positive direction yet. Things are just too expensive in Nigeria that 200k monthly for a family of 4 isn't enough.

Solsix:
Nah that saidaboy own dey pain me pass. Abeg is she paid to spew those trash? Because I don't understand why she choose that path.

same with Vicky James. I don't know who she is exactly but I have heard her name from many ladies. Like they say she is a tailor. Is she also a skit maker or content creator.

delpee:
Yam is cheap around this time in Ekiti. It's new yam season.

I will be in ekiti next week, so I must surely buy yam when coming back if this is true.

1972xy:
Since this one has been calling himself political Analyst, I have never see him contributing meaningfully to the development of Nigeria than to be fanning ember of hatred .
The college he built in Ajah was built on government acquisition land. If he is asked to remove his school now ,he will be saying it is vendetta against him.

he didn't contribute anything but built a college in Lagos state. Is that not contribution? That business school at ajah is one of the biggest in Africa and brings in a lot of foreign national each year. I am sure they also pay tax to Lagos state government, so ur statement about him not contributing anything is a big lie.

Throwback:
I hope those who think that legislators do not deserve a recess, are now happy that some work themselves to death?

He barely lived for 3days after the recess started.

May his soul rest in peace.

u are funny, are u saying his work is what claimed his life?
Rip to him

saintbillion:
I remember during my ND days. We had presentation in one gsn course. So one of my coursemate had swollen face due to bees sting. Immediately the lecturer saw him when it was his time to present, the lecturer began to laugh, the whole class turn into a laughing ground due to his funny face as a result of bee revenge. The lecturer couldn't comport himself, he laugh and laughed, finally he told the guy not to present again and asked him to go back to his seat that he has already passed the presentation as well as the course. Hehehe

I swear I don't know why I laughed to this

chiiraq802:
Other countries go for competitions, this wans go for advertisement.

ur statements is unnecessary. U should go and watch team USA opening ceremony and u will see the Nigerian team as done nothing wrong.

I ate the rice, yam, collected the bread and also ate their akara (I liked their akara). The rest, I ran away from them.

efighter:
We are wait for you on the streets, no single one of you will return home

I wonder what some of u do think. So in ur mind this statement is something someone with a good Monday will say abi. How are u any different from the people u don't want to protest. To u they want to destroy and from ur statement u want to kill them.

So this is the reason why they postponed the exam. This Oyo state are not serious at all. Bringing out bece time table very late and shifting exam any how. If u know how many times my nieces school have changed their schedule and they don't even know when they will have their party self.

The post is funny. No proof at all that it was sold for 14k and no proof that it is now sold for 4k.

Cable that year. The one in our palour then cartoon network wasn't clear and nickelodeon usually do shift with one movie station like that. Then my dad used vcr to boost the signal in his room and everything was clear. Oh sorry, this is not the cable antenna but the free to air.

JASONjnr:
Ok.... If you can't challenge my write up with facts.... And resulting to insult..... It means you need to question your bastard father!

sorry to say but ur writeup made no sense. It is based on fallacy and something someone benefitting from this government will say. Looking at ur comment u already drawn a conclusion that igbos want to stage protest just to destroy Lagos, which is something someone who is delusional will say because igbos have been staying in Lagos for many years now and I am sure we have not seen them destroying properties up and down in Lagos.

SmartyPants:
It's not wrong to talk about hosting other Nigerians because we operate a federation and one of the principles under that structure is that everyone has what is called a State of Origin, and when you step out of that State, you become a stranger to some extent. It is also necessary on a common sense level to recognize that Nigeria is uniquely diverse, thus there are nuances in our shared existence that may be unusual in global context. One of such is that we have areas that were, generally settled by homogeneous groups with distinct cultures. For harmony between such groups, it is necessary to have some concept of behavioural boundaries.

As regards the fact that there haven't been numerous destructive protests, the fact is that as we say in sports, you are only as good as your last game. So since the last game was a violent one, what else would be expected of the next one, particularly when it is being driven by roughly the same group of people as the last time?

u don't hear such a statement in European countries except they are not united that is when u hear statement such as what the oba said. Also about the protest, there is no evidence that it is been sponsored by the same set of people. The endsars protest was lead by falz, Mr macaroni, Aisha yesufu, the dj (I can't remember her name) and some popular people who I can't remember again police brutality. It was initially peaceful until the shooting and that was when it got hijacked. Saying the same group of people, I don't know which group of people u mean but from what the spoke person of apc has been saying one will think the major culprit is obi. Remember during the endsars, obi hasn't made his intention to run for presidency and wouldn't have gained anything from sponsoring the endsars protest. Also in the past apc has a party was at the fore front of a protest against the then president when things weren't going fine in the economy but they feel threatened now when the same thing wants to happen against them. I am not in support of any form of violence during protest but the fact apc brings up endsars anytime the citizen talk about protest which shouldn't be.

SmartyPants:
It's funny how people like you will pretend as though the Oba made a general threat to all non-Lagosians. His message was for those planning mayhem! I am a non Lagosian but I don't feel the slightest bit threatened because I have no intention of destroying peoples' properties in Lagos! I have no ill-will towards that great city thus I have no reason to feel this message is directed at me.

The only people who would naturally or subconsciously feel uncomfortable are those who, even if they have no intention of actually destroying things themselves, secretly hope that someone else would do it, and would cheer on such destruction when they meet like-minded fellows in private. Not so? Shame on you all.

why would I feel threatened by what the oba said? I am pointing out the fact that in Nigerian, people have to make statement about accommodating other people from the same country just because they are from different state which is wrong. Also I pointed out the fact that the endsars thing was a one time thing and not something that has occured regularly. We have had protest after that and before that and there was nothing like destruction of property. Even during the occupy Nigeria, we didn't have destruction of property, so why do they bring it up anytime a protest want to happen like it is the usual thing that happens every time.
