Born in the UK, fully educated from primary school to university level in the UK, trained in the UK with a UK coach and they should represent Nigeria. . .

When will Nigeria learn that they can not and should not expect to benefit from another country's hard work? Just because Christine's parents happened to run away from Nigeria years ago and settle in another country it doesn't give Nigeria any automatic claim on their children. After all if the Nigeria hadn't been in such a despicable state they probably wouldn't have left in the first place! abi?

If she had been arrested for fraud or some other kind of crime , be rest assured that the news would refer to her as a Nigerian. British born Nigerian

Kobojunkie:
Them tell you say the problem is lack of people to do the work?? We have MILLIONS of unemployed people right there in Nigeria that can handle the work. Again, are they LEPERS?

I dont think Fashola is making this call cos of a dearth in man-power. Skills and INVESTMENT might be the reason for his call.

$ammy:
You are hopelss as well

Jobless and hopeless

davidylan:
Why shld we allow them to emigrate down south? to your tents o Israel.

Even in the event of a split, people would still be emigrating and immigrating. Difference is that U would now require a Visa.

Just post the damn picture!!!



Inspired has sold a lot of cars on NL but he still finds it pertinent to upload pictures and not expect people to take him for his word. I suggest U do the same.

The guy obviously lacks tact and diplomacy and as a Nigerian You might be hurt that your country is mentioned in such manner.

However, he needed a standard of reference to drive home a point and Nigeria provided one. If a different country was ranked with Georgia at the particular  time frame he was making reference to , I am sure he would not have mentioned Nigeria. I think it is about time we stopped getting sentimental and taking issues like this personal but rather look at the real reasons why we are referenced in the first instance.

I frown at his lack of tact and diplomacy but I can't say I would quarell with the veracity of his outbursts.

@Poster
It is a full time job/career to be an athlete in America or Britain. They get paid salaries, get free healthcare for any sports injuries that they may incur. When they win and become world champions they also have a very good chance of attraction millions of dollars or pounds in endorsements. Now what would does one get when they become a full time/career athlete in Nigeria?

Probably become an agbero at Mile 2 or Oshodi. Government support is non existent

KarmaMod:
I do Uche. I don't want that face representing Nigeria. If you have a problem with that, you can always cry in the corner

Was that really necessary?

I perosnally can't stand the whole "British with Nigerian parentage" nonsense. It's so stupid.

Yeah, not in a beauty pageant. But in the Olympics , hell yes. As far ,as she gat the legs. Na face I go chop

@ Manmustwac

U can make ur point without the insults

onyinye2:
All that he did was so childish. There is a ginormous difference in being happy and grateful and showboating. Watching him pound his chest and run around the field just[b] took away from the glory of the event.[/b]

Maybe U should go and take away his gold medal and while U at it strip him of the record also.

Hmmm, ur siggy is deep. Where did u get that from and do U actually know what it means?

KarmaMod:
with a face like the Rice Krispies soldiers, I'm glad she's claiming Britain instead

Who cares about her face _{(at least in this contest)} . She is contesting in the Olympics and not some beauty pageant.

onyinye2:
Whatever, i run track just like he does, except i don't do olympics. But any how you are taught from the beginning that show boating like that is childish and takes away from your class.

No , you dont. U might run tracks but not the way he does . If U did , U wont be sitting behind a computer terminal while ur mates are winning laurels in China.

Showboating,

If u got it, flaunt it!!!!

nazzyon:
It was not because of their name; it is because they were not as popular as popular as the Brazilians then., and

If you look at the present Argentina players; their squad is made up of Stars and most especially Mascherano & Lionel Messi , a contender for World best player twice in a row.

Our boys did it back in 1996, lets hope that these boys will prove to the world that names & experience does not count in front Nigerian footballers.


It is a dream but we can make it a reality

Shalom

What r u talking about?

Lets take Kanu for instance, He had already won the Japan 93 with the Eaglets then and I believe he was part of the all conquering Ajax team that swooped Europe like a hurricane. At the time of the Olympics , he was headed to Inter milan. He might not have been the most popular player then but he sure was worth his weight in gold.
Lets not even go onto Oliseh or Amokachi who had already featured in US 94 world cup. Oops did I forget Jay Jay, Oh my!!!

Queenisha:
There was another folayemi somebody that ran for Netherlands.
Thank God he came last just like that coconut headed obikwelu
they should be ashamed of themselves.

However, like the last post mentioned, these guys should not be blamed. The Christine of a girl would not have smelt bronze if she was in the Olympics representing Nigeria.

Early, intensive and sustained preparation count in any tournament (ask China) but sadly Nigerian officials are yet to learn that.

And na Igbo girl _{At least from the name}

MandingoII:
Argentina 3 - Nigeria 0

Nigeria is  going to be nervous and inept - and "happy" to be there.

Totally disastrous

Everybody is entitled to having an asshole.

Going by other predictions (including that of some Nigerians) , the Dream team should have left the tournament in the quarter final stage when they squared up with the CIV. All I heard was Gervinho this, Gervinho that. Now the tune has changed to   Messi this, Messi that.
Messi and co are good and that is why the Argies are in the finals. Obasi and co are also good and that is why the Dream team is in the finals as well.

I remenber the Atlanta 96 team that squared up with a brazilian team that had Carlos, Bebeto and the indefatigable Ronaldo. Even some TV commentators wrote the Nigerian team off.  They easily forgot that we also had Kanu , Babayaro , Amokachi , Oliseh. Maybe because those names sound Nigerian  

This thread is chillarious!!!!   O dikwa risky!!!

4 Play:
Even real male hyenas mate with female hyenas. It still doesn't change how the females look.

You women should get this idea out of your head that men chasing you necessarily mean you are good looking.

Is there an alternate hypothesis What else could it mean

Axis:
Look at this cannibal, we are not going to break up until that oil finishes, whether you like it or not and we shall use the oil money to fight you if you try to mess up. After which we shall drive you barbarians and cannibals out of our towns and villages to your jungles and creeks. We are there to help you finish that oil the way you chopped and finished our groundnut. Mugus

Abeg make I laff small



This guy is not even hausa

When did this thread turn into a mudslinging contest

mukina2:
Fact . . .Nigeria will play hard and lose

myth: Nigeria will get to the final because they have defeated CIV

lol


We winning, Muki!!!!

If we lose, ur Nigerian husband will chase u out of the house. So better start praying that we win oooooo

Ruby_Pearl:
Na Sango go fire your dried @$$ for that comment!!!
who is a teenager?

lol

Queenisha:
not by me.
Utensils are household stuff not a gift for a wife or girlfriend.
Thank God so far,I've never received one from Mr Osisi as a birthday gift
I'll be mortified.

Queenisha:
Ok then.
Let's not call it a gift.
It doesn't qualify
He merely bought some household stuff

I agree. Utensils should not count.

Ruby_Pearl:
@Nwando,
Of course not for anniversary.

Uchenna, take note o:
For our anniversary, I want something shiny, black, has four wheels and the symbol LEXUS in the front!!

Yes, you can bring the flowers, our kitchen table would look nicer with it
No, for my man, I'd do more for him than he did for me.
I know that naija men are not romantic, but I'd reward him for trying

You see why You would always rate high in ma books. Sometimes I forget You are a teenager   U reason like an adult

Queenisha:
yes, if he buys kitchen stuff that's good and thoughtful but not as an anniversary gift.
(yes I forgot flowers on  anniversary)
But it goes both ways.
The ladies ought to buy their men things too on each of those ocassions.

Like a bottle of Jack Daniels  

Queenisha:
I'm telling you not to let her make a fuss just get the stinking flowers

lol. And I would take your advice and get the ones from the roadside 

If a man gives utensils as presents, then he must love your cooking. That is something to be proud of 

onyinye2:
To me flowers mean alot. I have always adored them. Every morning i go outside, do my meditation next to my garden of passion flowers. So what is wrong with a guy buying me a bouquet of tulips(my fav)Oh yes i will.

If it means that much to U, then let him know. I am just saying that the purchase of flowers (or lack thereof) is not the only way U can express love. And most Nigerian men do not express love that way. Something u need to bear in mind before u say "I do".

About buying utensils from Walmart, correct me if I am wrong but I always thought that Walmart has a section for flowers. U can buy ur flowers alongside with ur utensils  

Queenisha:
c'mon
is a box of chocolates not a waste?
afterall they may end up on her hips
$15 flowers 3 times a year?

It is ok to do that and not that expensive but I am just saying that I would rather buy something else than a buy a flower. However, if the woman in question makes so much fuss about that , then I would get her some flowers.

Ruby_Pearl:
Me too! Just hope he buys it with something special. . . .something shiny or sth green

Hmmmmmmmm,

Ruby_Pearl:
I pity you too

@post
What is the point of flowers?
They die!! They smelly funky (not a good thing)

Ma point exactly!!! _{However, I hope u are not substituting a bouquet of flowers with a Lexus}  

Queenisha:
onyinye there are men like that and I'm married to one.
Since I met him I receive flowers with gifts every Birthday,valentine and mothers day.
He sent me the biggest basket of flowers at the hospital at the birth of our babies.
But flowers are not the test of romance though.
Some Nigerian men are slow at catching on.
Just manage him if he doesn't buy them

Bottom line,

Dont go into ur marriage expecting that kind of gesture of love.

Queenisha:
It's not the fact that they die,it's the way you'll make her feel.

I dont intend to be a jerk, but apart from flowers (that is an economic waste if u ask me) aint there other things U can do that would make her go gaga

Ruby_Pearl:
why on a box of chocolate, why not on top of a new Lexus?

I pity your future husband , walahi  

U and ur expensive taste
