Hey People, check out this blog by a Hausa British chic:

Oooh, poor boy. I didn't know him, and I don't post here much at all but I've been reading what everyone has been saying since yesterday and I was moved soo much I even googled his name to read more about the story of his death because I was so captured by him and everyone's reaction to his death, especially Ileke-Idi's. Sorry my sister.

This even affected my dreams last night as the shock at the violence of his death sinks in. I really feel personally for this guy, as if I knew him, and I've been crying since yesterday. His calm and wise nature and even his looks reminds me of someone I know so I've been disturbing that person since to make sure they know how much I love them cos life is short. Poor boy, and his poor family.

You come to America/the West for a better life and the runts of that country spoil it in an instant. And though I'm a Christian, after reading his posts I'm not left offended but intrigued because he attacked our faith with knowledge and respect (from what I saw anyway) rather than with petty insults, and that is admirable from a young atheist. (I've also read a lot of threats/curses on the poor boy's head, which he just brushed off), and I agree that there is power in the tongue, but that's besides the point)

By all accounts he was a respectable guy worthy of our condolences and I offer mine here sincerely. May his gentle soul rest in peace. And I hope his family can take some comfort from the integrity of his short life and the good reports from everyone here (Maybe someone can show them this thread?).

Jesus said something like "there are sheep of mine that you don't know of that are not of this sheep pen" so we shall see.

Lol. look at how proud the Ibo father looks.


***thinking to himself in deep Ibo accent***


"Ah, I am going to be the envy of the whole of Biafra! I have Blonde Jewish baby; and I didnt have to marry fat, ugly, white woman like all my friends in Europe and North America. I, Okonkwo, should be made King!!!"

LOOOOOL!!

Awww, what a lovely family. The little girl even looks like her older sister. I wonder at the stares they will get when they all walk together as a family though!!

Ben and Angela Ihegboro were astounded when their third child, a girl, came out of the womb with white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes! The couple, who live in England where amazed as they have no history of white ancestors in their family and their two other children are black. The father says he trusts his wife has been faithful to him, but even if she hadn't the child would come out MIXED RACED not white!

They named the child Nmachi, and the mum said "she's beautiful and I love her. Her colour doesn't matter. She's a miracle baby."

redem2010:
I think PASTOR is right with all he has said about the change in govt attitude towards the National Team. Its shows the level of our institutional weakness. Mind you FYI: Those who make comment to pastor anyhow hmmmmmm U hrd better be careful ooh. It is better one remain silent than to abuse MEN of God ooh. Silence those not mean one is silly; we all desires things in a different manner. Let PASTOR alone if he desires to the president; if God wants him there , surely he will be there. Even if he fails 100 times, it doesn't matter as what matters is mission accompanied, he may not be the one to fulfilled this , it may be someone following his step or ideology. So be careful oooooo. I am not a member of his church ooooooo, but we must tell ourselves the truth.

Cheers.

So did God call Okotie to be a pastor or a president? I don't think he can be both, unless God changed his mind. Jesus came to serve, even though people thought the Messiah will come as King. He was effective amongst common people so that his power spread organically like yeast in dough. I think it's just Okotie's ambition and pride that's given him delusions of grandeur to want to be president.  

Show me an African pastor today that knows how to SERVE HUMBLY AND FAITHFULLY, WHO WILL WASH HIS DEACON'S FEET LIKE JESUS DID and I'll eat my hat. Mcheeeew!

Suarez: "The way in which I was sent off , truth is, it was worth it. The 'Hand of God' now belongs to me. Mine is the real 'Hand Of God'. I made the best save of the tournament. There was no alternative but for me to do that and when they missed the penalty I thought 'It is a miracle and we are alive in the tournament'. Now we are in the semi-finals although I was very sad because no one likes to be sent off."

Uruguay's coach Oscar Tabárez: "saying we cheated Ghana is too harsh a word to use. We also abide by what the referee did - it could have been a mistake. Yes he stuck his hand out but it's not cheating - I don't think it's fair to say that. I think it was instinctive. The player instinctively reacted and was thrown out of the match and he can't play the next match. What else do you want? Is Suárez also to blame for Ghana missing the penalty? We try to be dignified and if we lose a match we look for the reasons for it. You shouldn't look to third parties. This is football. There are consequences to that handball and he didn't know that Ghana was going to miss that penalty."

Sometimes I'm afraid of the African blood that runs through my veins. This lack of excellence at the top is scary.

And South Americans just keep spoiling football for everyone, they stopped Japan from progressing, and now Ghana. Why should three of their teamsn be in the semi-finals? If Brazil had gone through today it would have have been four out of six. So as usual its Europe vs South America in the later stages. There should be some kind of law against this continent-bias

GL:
omg! i feel so bad, this hurts much more than Nigeria's exit. i was so sure that Ghana would win. and they came so close, then gave it away. what a pity.

i also thought the ball had crossed the goal line until the referee gave suarez the red card. it would be such a shame if replays eventually show that it was a goal. maybe the coach shouldn't even have brought Adiyah on for Muntari, at least he would have been better at the penalty. and Kevin Boateng would have been a better choice than both Mensah and Adiyah too.  but it was Gyan that lost the match, he had no business missing that penalty. that was a one in a million chance, he must be the unhappiest person this night. he got Ghana into the QFinals and prevented them from going into the Semis.

Completely agree.

God gave Ghana victory on a plate and they threw it away.

Iyineda:
^ I'm not here to argue about something so futile but just so you know, the USA is a country of over 300 million people, not a continent. The USA is part of North America - a continent which includes Canada and Mexico.

OK, point taken. Both still represented a symbolic victory for the poorest continent against the richest though

But back to the topic

Cogito:
'Poorest continent' against the richest country.

Do you seriously not see what's wrong with that?

No. Just to reiterate: Ghana represents THE WHOLE OF AFRICA to the rest of the world. USA is a continent, hence poorest vs richest,

Ghana are the ambassadors for Africa in this world cup, so as an African, it's only right that we get behind our brothers. We don't need to cut our noses to spite our face here, it's counterproductive.

As someone else said, the world sees Sub-Saharan Africa as one anyway, and in the interests of unity, bortherhood, fair play and common sense, I support Ghana because they are representing Africa to the world whether we like it or not. Because of them our continent is not ashamed.

So what if they won't return the favour if it was Super Eagles in their position? Two wrongs don't make a right. We show we're bigger by putting away childish competitiveness and jealousies and cheering a better team.

Me too I've abused my Ghanaians friends in friendly rivalry, but to tell you the truth, I'm jealous of their favourable reputation to the rest of the world (see how African-Americans rush to claim Ghana as their motherland, Obama chose to come to Ghana, their political system is miles better than ours, Ghanaians are widely regarded as friendlier and less loud and undisciplined compared to Nigerians, Ghana as a tourist destination is established compared to ours, and see how their football club is teaching the rest lessons. You can also carry Ghanaian passport without been strip searched at airports). It's sad to say, but it's true.

Yet one thing about Nigerians is we retain our patriotism no matter what. So I'm Nigerian and proud, but since in football (as in many things) Nigeria has just embarrassed me, I'm jumping on the Ghanaian bandwagon to celebrate an African country that has its s*** together.

Also, if Ghana had beaten say, Slovenia in the last match I might not have been so ecstatic, but to beat those arrogant Yanks was just the icing on the cake, a symbolic victory for the 'poorest continent' against the richest.

So stop all this pettiness abeg, we must look like fools arguing about the wisdom of celebrating a fellow African team. Brazil doesn't celebrate Argentina and vice versa because theirs is a full-grown rivalry between equals. But when Nigeria isn't even on the same page as Ghana football-wise, we can only admit inferiority (in this area) and clap for the better team.

Ghana has showed those arrogant yanks, good. Why should they be winning everything?

Uruguay is now very winnable, and even if Ghana don't beat them they can go home with their heads held high. They've done their country and their continent proud.

soarrogant:
and hey, you kids of former slaves,who have been supporting former slave owners, against your brothers,country men,relatives and motherland, SHAME!! this victory is for you

Abeg our ancestors were never slaves, we remained in Africa throughout. I get what you're saying but this is Nairaland not Caribbeanland or African-Americanland.

USA was outplayed and outscored! Shame SHAME SHAME!!!! Africa has shown you pepper oooo!!! Black Stars have beaten stars and stripes!!!

Ghana not only play better than Nigeria, they're younger and better looking

Mayn, Ghana's defence is the bomb! Wonderful

Damn, the American team have come into the second half fighting, Ghana be careful please,

Ghana will NOT go today ooo! In Jesus name, Amen.

Wow, Ghana is really showing those Yanks how to play football. Not soccer, football!

It's a goooooooooooaaaal!!!! Yes, Ghana!!

truly:
Then we should all apologise to Kaita
who got sent off for one incident and he immediately showed remorse
As I see it, Kaka got sent off based on TWO yellow cards
And did he he show any remorse?

So if Kaka had shown remorse he will look better in your eyes? The guy was probably shocked at the decision and could only smile, same as when one guy scored an own goal and was there smiling in shock. Nigeria's Kaita put his shirt over his head because he realised his stupidity and felt like a fool, Kaka walked off almost smiling because he couldn't believe the decision. But who cares how they react? The issue here is wrongful dissmisal not their yeye reaction afterwards.

FL Gators:
What is up wth the WHITE coaches?

Conspiracy?

Did you guys hear that when Ghana beat Serbia, their Serbian coach was not happy and said "Perhaps we (Ghana) got more lucky than them (Serbia), because we scored one goal, and we obtained three points today. I hope Serbia can pick up six points from their next two games."

Can you believe it? He was upset that his team beat his home country and probably tried to sabotage Ghana's play to make sure they lost, and was surprised they didn't. Full story here: http://allafrica.com/stories/201006151232.html

It's true that England also have a foreign coach, but until we Africans can coach ourselves we're not ready to call ourselves world class.

michya:
Yes, he sure did deserve the Red Card. What he did was intentional and wrong. And i don't think it's good for player of his caliber.

Are you sure? You mean Kaka intended for Kaita to believe he was been hit in the face? Maybe you should watch the clip again, he made no contact with the man's face, and ordinarily a small elbow to the chest merits no foul whatsoever. Kaita was been deceitful on purpose and it's disgusting.

Kaka is as clean a player as they come, his team were winning and he had no reason to be beating Kaita on his face like you're suggesting.

How can a light elbow in the chest translate to a scream of pain and a dive to the ground clutching the face as if he's been shot What Kaitaclysmic nonsense!!

Abeg Kaka should not have been sent off, and as soon as referees are able to take time out to view slow-motion replay on the sidelines before making a decision they're not sure about the better.
