Nairaland / General / Re: France "Flogs" Croatia 4-2 To Win 2018 World Cup Competition In Russia by uneeking(m): 5:52am On Jul 16, 2018
Viva Les Bleus! You were surely the better team. Lucky you did not have to face the Super Eagles at this tournament.

Nairaland / General / France "Flogs" Croatia 4-2 To Win 2018 World Cup Competition In Russia by uneeking(m): 5:49am On Jul 16, 2018
Lightening struck twice in 20 years as France clinched the 2018 FIFA World Cup Competition in a thrilling 6 goals final match encounter against hard-fighting Croatia in Russia.

Yes, the last time they won this cup was in 1998 on home soil when they dazzled Brazil in the final match winning by three un-replied goals to the astonishment of not just the Brazilian players and people but also of the rest of the world, France inclusive. This time around the venue was different. So were the players too.

However, the French team came out runaway winners just like their predecessors did 20 years back. "Zizu" must be grinning from ear to ear right now. He was very instrumental in that win then. So was the present coach of the team too, Didier Deschamps.

This second triumph for France was done in a spectacular style as it ended the title dreams of a very brave Croatia  with a 4-2 victory in one of the most entertaining and action-packed finals for decades.

This was done courtesy of an own goal from Mario Mandzukic, an Antoine Griezmann penalty -- awarded after a VAR review - and second-half strikes by Paul Pogba and teenager Kylian Mbappe. Croatia's goals came through Ivan Perisic and the unlucky Mario Mandzukic.

For me, it is LES bLEUS[i][/i] all the way. The France National Team is simply too complete and dominating for a Croatia that in recent games became inconsistent.

Nairaland / General / 2018 FIFA World Cup Final Match Today. Facts Team News And More. by uneeking(m): 10:24am On Jul 15, 2018
Croatia or France? Who takes the glory and the World Cup at the end of 90 (and probably 120) minutes of pulsating and captivating football today 15th July, 2018 at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium?

Oh yes the much awaited-day has finally arrived - the day the 2018 World Cup Competition in Russia finally winds up and either Croatia or France will go home smiling with the World Cup (possibly the most expensive cup) as part of their "hand luggage".

The fact remains that whoever triumphs in today's final match thoroughly deserves to be the World's Soccer Champions. They have really come a long way watching as the pre-tournament favourites all fell by the wayside one after the other.

Let us take a look at some facts that makes today's match unique in its setting;

Didier Deschamps is faced with the opportunity of becoming only the third man - after Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer - to win the FIFA World Cup as a player and coach if he can replicate as a coach what he achieved 20 years back as a player when France won the cup at the expense of a completely over-whelmed Brazilian National Team.

On their way to becoming the World Champions in that same year (1998), the French defeated Croatia in the semi-finals and that is not lost on the opposing team today as they seek to avenge that painful loss. Luckily for them, they are both playing on a neutral ground in today's game unlike in 1998 when France played on home turf.
This year's competition is unique also for the fact that

Nairaland / General / Re: Serena Williams Pleased With Her Progress At The 2018 Wimbledon Competition by uneeking(m): 5:38am On Jul 15, 2018
Correct Mama, Brains, Beauty and Power. A True African Woman indeed. Kudos, Serena Williams.
Nairaland / General / Serena Williams Pleased With Her Progress At The 2018 Wimbledon Competition by uneeking(m): 5:33am On Jul 15, 2018
Despite losing out in the final match of the 2018 Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam Competition, against Angelique Kerber, Tennis Diva Serena Williams has described her performance at the competition as a ” a great encouragement”.

Of course for a woman who gave birth only a few months back, getting to the finals of a great competition like the Wimbledon Grand Slam is no child’s play and is surely worth emulation.

Serena Williams was surely not at her best in the game as she lost out in a 3-6, 3-6 defeat but declared that she was encouraged to be in the finals of such a competition just a few months after the birth of her daughter Alexis Olympia in September.

Here is how she described the whole experience in her own words;

“These two weeks were so mental for me,” she said. “I won matches. I was really mentally fighting for literally every match. I did the best that I could in every match that I played. I feel like I am taking the steps in the right direction. I took a giant step at Wimbledon.

“This is literally just the beginning. My journey has just begun, but I think these two weeks have really showed me that I can compete – and that I can come out and be a contender to win grand slams.”

Daughter Olympia and Daddy Alexis were as expected on hand to root for Mummy Serena.

So what next now?
Serena Williams promised to put up a much better performance next month at the US Open. In her own words;

“I am already deciphering what I need to improve on, what I need to do, what I did wrong, why I did it wrong, how I can do better – that whole madness that goes on in my mind. Then I’m saying, OK, I do improve with losses. We’ll see how it goes.”

When a reporter decided to ask her what she would tell her daughter about the time she played tennis in front of the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex, and make it a happy story, she put on a charming smile and said;

“Well, I think it was a happy story,” Williams said. “But I’ll probably change the ending.”

“Correct Mommy”, I dare say.

Nairaland / General / Re: F.C. Chelsea Beats Mancity To Jorginho's Signature From Napoli. by uneeking(m): 3:02pm On Jul 14, 2018
Is this a wise move for Chelsea?
Nairaland / General / F.C. Chelsea Beats Mancity To Jorginho's Signature From Napoli. by uneeking(m): 3:01pm On Jul 14, 2018
Chelsea made their first summer signing as far as players are concerned when it successfully acquired the services of Italy international Jorginho from Napoli in a deal worth about £57m thereby beating Manchester City to the signature of the midfielder.
The Brazilian-born 26-year-old Jorginho made 36 appearances for F.C. Napoli who finished second in Serie A last term. He scored four goals for Napoli last season in the Seria A.

Jorginho was also involved in Napoli's 4-2 defeat to Man City last November and also played against England in a 1-1 friendly draw in March.

Pep Guardiola had penciled down Jorginho, who was born in Brazil, as his top target for the holding midfield role on the expiration of Yaya Toure's contract, but Chelsea beat City to the player's signature in a dramatic move.

Man City was understood to have agreed a £44m deal a fortnight ago for the player but apparently withdrew interest when the price rose. This paved the way for Chelsea to come into the picture strongly and offer a higher fee that Napoli accepted without wasting time.

Napoli apparently told the player's agent that he had to accept Chelsea's term or face being frozen out.

Man City are also said to be seriously fuming at the handling of the situation by the player's agent Joao Santos and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

This is what the player had to say to the press on what he thinks about this transfer;

"I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea," said Jorginho, who has penned a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge under new coach Maurizio Sarri, who managed the player in Italy.

"It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy. I am excited to play in such an intense league for a team that gives everything to play and win."

Nairaland / General / Married Man Nabbed For Sleeping With A 9-year-old Pupil. by uneeking(m): 10:48am On Jul 14, 2018
A 30-year-old child abuse suspect, Mohammed Abubakar,  has admitted to luring a nine-year-old primary four pupil to having sex with him using a N10 lollipop bait because his wife just gave birth.

The suspect, a commercial motorcyclist, who resides in Tudun Fulani in Bosso Local
Government Area of Niger State, disclosed this while being interrogated by the Niger
State Child Right Protection Agency.

In his confessional statement, Abubakar said: “I saw her outside her school where I had parked my motorcycle to buy sweet and she told me to give her sweet. “I gave her a sweet and then lured her to an uncompleted building and had sex with her.

“I am a married man. My wife and I have a three-month-old baby; I have not been sleeping with my wife because she just gave birth recently and that tempted me into doing the act with
the girl.
“I only had sex with the girl once; I am sorry.”

On interrogation, the school pupil narrated her own side of the story this way;

“He usually lures me to an uncompleted building close to the school during break time. He will touch my buttocks and put his finger inside my private part.
“He also gives me sweet and promised to give me N6,000 if I did not tell anyone about what he did to me.”

The victim’s teacher, Hajiya Saratu Salihu, who helped expose the criminal act by reporting the matter to the agency, explained that she started suspecting the victim, following her frequent absence from class. According to her, the victim always disappears from the school during the break periods and will not return to school.

Nairaland / General / Mother Of SS2 Student Who Raped A 3-year-old Child Defends Him. by uneeking(m): 6:09pm On Jul 13, 2018
The Mother of a 15-year-old SS2 Student who raped a 3-year-old child, has been exposed by a Nigerian doctor who recounted her statement over the incident.
According to the Nigerian doctor @deekachy_md, disclosed that the mother of the SS2 student defended him by saying ‘he is just a child and doesn’t know what he is doing’.

Right here below is the Doctor's narrative of the incident;

The last time I received a slap that sound, I was in SS2. It was mum. This time my Slapper was 3. She was my patient.
I was trying to examine her ‘area’. I looked up in shock, then I met her eyes. I shivered. One act of abuse had scarred yet another. How? 

A typical clinic day. In walked She, mum and aunt. Her Shiny black skin and full natural hair caught my eye. She was 3.
Didn’t look sick at all. “Hey there happy Girl,Welcome, What brings you to the clinic today?”, I started with a smile. One that soon turned sour
What she said hit me and suddenly made me reach for my Zobo bottle. All that Glucose would come in handy. “Come again please”, I said “E rapeuru ya yesterday” (She was raped yesterday).

Silence. I looked at the Barbie. “Who did that Ma’am?” “My neighbour’s son”
“How?”

Nairaland / General / F.C. Barcelona Close To Signing Eden Hazard? by uneeking(m): 5:05pm On Jul 13, 2018
As rumours of the next move of F.C. Chelsea and Belgium’s National Soccer Team’s Star Eden Hazard continues to make the news everywhere especially since the departure of Cristian Ronaldo from Real Madrid to Juventus F.C., our reporter was in Catalonia to ask the Barcelona technical secretary Eric Abidal about the possibility of the Belgian joining F.C. Barcelona as is being touted in some quarters.

In response, the Barca Technical Secretary simply decided to refuse ruling out a summer move for Eden Hazard. As it is currently in the rumour mills, both the F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid are gunning for the signature of the soccer wizard who is still in Russia preparing for tomorrow’s game between his country and the English Natonal Soccer Team for the third place position in the on-going 2018 FIFA World Cup Competition holding in Russia.

Meanwhile, his present employers have also not given up hope of keeping their star as they are reportedly confident that their new Manager’s (they have just replaced former Manager Antonio Conte with former Napoli Gaffer, Maurizio Sarri) commitment to attacking football could be enough to persuade Hazard to commit the peak years of his career to the club he joined six years ago.

F.C. Barcelona on the other hand decided to make Eden Hazard as their main target after failing to pry away Antoine Griezmann from Athletico Madrid.

When asked further about the chances of Barca signing Hazard, Abidal responded; ‘You will have to ask him. On his opinion about the same issue, Eden Hazard had this to say;

“Right now I’m good at Chelsea and besides, nobody has approached me with an offer”.

I guess we all have to wait until the player himself indicates what his decision on this issue is and that is not likely to happen until sometime after the match involving Belgium and England on Saturday 14th July, 2018.

Nairaland / General / Former Chelsea Captain John Terry Pays Tribute To Sacked Antonio Conte. by uneeking(m): 7:24am On Jul 13, 2018
The former F.C. Chelsea Captain, John Terry, paid tributes to the immediate past coach of the team, Antonio Conte after the Italian was relieved of his managerial duties by the club on Thursday.

After weeks of speculation, the Management of the London club finally decided to sack Conte, thereby opening the way for a replacement with rumours having it that the former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri is set to succeed him.

Despite the fact that Antonio Conte won the Premier League title in his very first season with the team, he had to be let go as a result of his regular off-the-field power struggle over the club’s transfer policy.

That had put his job on the line for quite sometime before the Chelsea Management finally decided to send him packing.


The situation had further been worsened by the fact that the team was unable to defend its title, finishing fifth in the table and missing out on Champions League. Chelsea F.C. was however able to defeat the Manchester United in the final of the FA Cup in a match that proved to be Antonio Conte’s final match as Manager of the team.

The 2016/2017 season in which Chelsea won the Premiership under Antonio Conte was John Terry’s final campaign at the club, and the former Blues captain has taken to Instagram to pay tribute to his old boss.

John Terry wrote:

“Thank you boss. Great man, great manager.”
“I wish you every success in the future.”

Nairaland / General / 13-year-old Boy Chops Off Policeman's Manhood In Vengeance Over Sodomy Rape. by uneeking(m): 8:03am On Jul 12, 2018
Nemesis caught up with a police officer attached to the Faskari divisional office in Katsina State of Nigeria as he had his manhood cut off allegedly by a 13-year-old boy (names withheld) whom he attempted to sodomise.

A source in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Inspector was fond of committing the act with boys in the area, alleging that the last victim used a
knife to cut the officer’s manhood.

The police officer, identified as Inspector Lawal Mohammed, was said to have been left in a pool of his own blood before an unknown bike man took him to a nearby health facility. Sources said the incident happened about 9.30pm on Monday around Tudun Markabu area of the town.

According to the source, some boys, (probably previous victims of the Inspector’s sexual preferences), set him up in vengeance. The policeman was transferred from
Sabuwar Local Government Area to Kankara, before his posting to Faskari, where the incident occurred on Tuesday night.

Confirming the story, Katsina State Police Command’s spokesperson, Gambo Isah,
said:

“We received the news with dismay. We are not expecting our men to be involved in this kind of act.
“He is in the General Hospital at Faskari and has been referred to the General Hospital, Katsina, but is still in Faskari.
“The Command is investigating the matter. Immediately he recovers, we will investigate the matter and get all the witnesses. If found wanting, he will face necessary disciplinary action and charged to court.”

Nairaland / General / Cristiano Ronaldo's Move To Juventus F.C. Finally Confirmed. by uneeking(m): 4:03am On Jul 11, 2018
Cristiano Ronaldo has officially left Real Madrid to join Juventus, in a deal worth 117 million euros (100 million to Real Madrid, five million to former clubs Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United and 12 million in commissions and other fees).

Nairaland / General / Kemi Adeosun's Exemption Certificate Was Forged. by uneeking(m): 8:16am On Jul 10, 2018
If you thought that the NYSC Certificate Saga involving Nigeria’s Finance Minister Mrs. Kemi Adeosun is over, then you are in for a real surprise as the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has disowned the purported exemption certificate in her possession.

In a swift reaction to an exclusive story published by PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday detailing how Mrs Adeosun skipped the mandatory national service and forged an exemption certificate of the service to cover for it, the NYSC has come out to literally deny issuing out an exemption certificate to her albeit in a diplomatic language.

After countless efforts to get the right information from the NYSC by the PREMIUM TIMES had failed, the reputable Nigerian Newspaper editors decided to re-channel the request through a Freedom of Information request. This was after the reputable newspaper had first written to the NYSC on April 16, 2018 requesting verification of the certificate.

To cut a long story short, the NYSC has finally decided to come up with an official response now in July, 2018. What kept them that long in such a very serious matter? Your guess is as good as mine.

Thank God for the Freedom of Information Bill that was finally passed into law by the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan. Without that bill, we all know that all the efforts of PREMIUM TIMES in this matter would have gone in vain.

By the way, what was the NYSC’s response to all of this (after some THREE MONTH’s interval)? Here we go;

PRESS RELEASE

RE-EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE OF THE HON. MINISTER OF FINANCE, MRS. KEMI ADEOSUN

Our attention has been drawn to the issue of the alleged forgery of an NYSC Exemption Certificate by the Honorable Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.
Checking our records, Mrs. Adeosun did apply for an Exemption Certificate.

We shall investigate the origin of the purported Exemption Certificate in question.

Thank you.

Adeyemi Adenike (Mrs.)

Director, Press and Public Relations


Lest we forget, UNEEKOMUNIKATIONS on behalf of the entire righteousness-seeking Nigerian populace hereby wish to massively thank and appreciate the PREMIUM TIMES for standing up to be counted in this struggle to make Nigeria great again. Kudos, PREMIUM TIMES!

The recent rumours claiming that Nigeria’s Finance Minister forged her NYSC Certificate is really generating a lot of dust in various circles of the Nigerian Society.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack, arrest and arraign his Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun for alleged criminal forgery of her NYSC certicate. The PDP went on to warn President Buhari not to provide a cover for Mrs. Adeosun.

Also speaking on the issue was the Co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, Aisha Yesufu. In her reaction to the allegation, she said the news if proven true shows complete disappointment. While questioning the moral integrity of the minister, she wondered why Adeosun would forge her NYSC certicate.

Nairaland / General / Lionel Messi And Cristiano Ronaldo Dominate 2018 Soccer Transfer News. by uneeking(m): 11:50am On Jul 08, 2018
It is not news that both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are considered the best footballers in the world as at present. It is also not news that both of them have crashed out of the on-going 2018 FIFA World Cup Competition in Russia.

What is news is the fact that both have refused to stay quiet and give some space for other footballers to get some attention even when it comes to the transfer news space.

While one has decided to stay put with his club but at the same time intervene with his team’s transfer decisions, the other is aiming to swap clubs in order to get a higher wage. Now to the details as they are hot.

Lionel Messi

Just as Manchester United’s Manager decided to pry away Brazilian winger Willian from F.C. Chelsea with a deal getting closer by the day, the process is suddenly facing a possible obstacle from an unexpected competitor – Lionel Messi!

Reliable reports reaching us have it that the Barcelona legend is keen on linking up with the Brazilian at the Camp Nou. And so, La Liga champions F.C. Barcelona are now thought to be interested in signing the £60m-rated Willian.

It is however interesting to see what factors will sway the Brazilian as he has to decide which is more important to him – a reunion with Jose Mourinho or the chance to play alongside Lionel Messi and other stars at the Nou Camp next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo’s proposed switch from Real Madrid to Juventus in a £88m deal between both clubs seem to be getting closer by the day as Juve chief executive Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Fabio Paratici were reportedly said to be receiving positive signals from the Management of the current Champions’ League holders.

It will be recalled that Cristiano Ronaldo has for sometime now hinted of his wish to move elsewhere from Madrid for various reasons which also include his wish to get better wages for his services.

The Ronaldo camp however decided to allow focus to be on both clubs reaching an agreement before the player’s contractual terms are defined with Juventus F.C.

It is now looking more likely that CR7 as he is known to his teeming supporters world-wide will be adorning the Juve shirt in the coming season.

Nairaland / General / Turkish Referee Cheated Nigeria In Match Against Argentina - Mikel Obi. by uneeking(m): 4:57am On Jun 28, 2018
The football match between Argentina and Nigeria in Group D of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Competition holding in Russia has come and gone but the controversy surrounding that game still remains like a sour taste in the mouth.

It will be recalled that the Turkish referee for that match inexplicably denied Nigeria a very clear penalty after an Argentinian defender had headed the ball on to his  hand right in his own box. The Nigerian players demanded a review of that scene on the VAR which the referee eventually agreed to.

However to the dismay of the Nigerian players and virtually everyone in the stadium and those watching on television sets across the world, the referee stood his ground and refused to award the clear penalty. Argentina of course went on to win that match 2-1.

The captain of the Super Eagles, Mikel Obi was later on asked in an interview about that particular incident and the following is what he had to say;

“We’ve seen it again in the dressing room, it was a clear penalty. There wasn’t any way the referee could not give that.

“The referee looked at the VAR. He said it hit the hand. I asked why he did not give us a  penalty, he said he did not  know.”

“We did everything we could."

“In the second half we pushed and pushed. It just wasn’t to be. It is  a young team and in four years most of them will be ready for this tournament.

“I’m very proud of the boys and what we have achieved. I think we have done really well. We have to keep going.”

Like Mikel, many soccer lovers across the globe are of the opinion that the Super Eagles were robbed in that game. Some of them are of the opinion that it would have been the other way round if the penalty had been in favour of Argentina.

In this kind of a situation, Football is surely the loser.

Nairaland / General / Dangerous Super Eagles Vs Desperate Argentinian National Football Team. by uneeking(m): 10:53am On Jun 26, 2018
Today is the D day in Group D of the 2018 World Cup Competition in Russia as perennial rivals - Nigeria and Argentina square off against one another in a game to decide who qualifies for the next round of the competition.

As is to be expected in such a setting, a lot of people have been talking about this game as well as making some permutations as to how the match will turn out.

One of such people is the former Nigerian International, Mutiu Adepoju. Below are excerpts form an interview he granted a Media House recently.

"I expect a very good and exciting match, even more than what we saw against Iceland the other day. I expect to see two teams with two contrasting fortunes.

A Nigerian side brimming with confidence after the 2-0 win over Iceland and an Argentina that’s bristling with hurt and anger after getting just one point from two games.

Argentina are a wounded lion seeking for revenge. They will be desperate to get all three points and, honestly, they have the players to do it. They will want to come out all guns blazing hoping to catch the Super Eagles.

And, I think, this is where Nigeria can be dangerous. We are also desperate. We want to win and progress to the next round. If Argentina thinks they are hurt, the Eagles also want to make Nigerians happy so they have their backs to the wall. And the whole world knows how dangerous Nigeria can be when our backs are to the wall. We can be very dangerous.

If I’m Rohr, they say you don’t change a winning team so I will allow the team that played the last game to start although I would want Tyronne Ebuehi to be in the starting line-up. I want the same personnel we used in midfield. We need to mop up spaces in the middle so that Lionel Messi is starved of the ball.

When will the "talking" be replaced with "decisive" actions?
Nairaland / General / President Buhari Blames "Desperate Politicians" For Recent Killings In Plateau. by uneeking(m): 8:20pm On Jun 25, 2018
Over the weekend, a number of attacks were recorded in Plateau State resulting in the death of close to a hundred people in various parts of Plateau State and leading to the proclamation of a dusk to dawn curfew in about three local government areas of the state by the Governor Lalong led administration.

In a reaction to this situation, the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to declare that the clashes were the handiwork of "desperate politicians" in the state.

Speaking in a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, the president said that these politicians have increasingly cheapened human life in their quest to establish a reign of instability and chaos in the country for political gains.

He went on to say:

“We know that a number of geographical and economic factors are contributing to the longstanding herdsmen/farmers clashes.

“But we also know that politicians are taking advantage of the situation. This is incredibly unfortunate.

“Nigerians affected by the herdsmen/ farmer clashes must always allow the due process of the law to take its course rather than taking matters into their own hands.’’

How such statements in place of decisive actions will bring an end to these clashes however remains to be seen as innocent people across the country continue to die unnecessarily in the seemingly unending saga.

Nairaland / General / Nigerians And Soccer Mathematics. by uneeking(m): 9:07am On Jun 23, 2018
The Super Eagles of Nigeria yesterday made millions of Nigerians and their foreign supporters very happy by defeating Iceland by two goals to nil. Some people may not know how much such a victory means to Nigerians until they realize the fact that the Super Eagles matches are THE ONLY THING that truly unites the citizens of this country in these difficult times.

One does not need to consult a Prophet or an oracle to know that operators of Beer parlour Joints and other Relaxation Outlets must have made profits beyond their expectations last night. Unfortunately, that also means that the amount of money usually collected in various churches across the country will suffer some decrease today due to reasons ranging from a reduction in the number of worshipers to the sudden reduction in "Pocket Power" after yesterday's "generosity" at the Beer Parlours.

Now to the original business of this post.

Yesterday's win for Nigeria has once again renewed the possibility of the country's qualification for the next round of the competition. I can bet you that most Nigerian soccer lovers will today be guilty of the offence of "Overuse of Calculators".

The average Nigerian today will be carrying out calculations as to how the Super Eagles can qualify for the next round of the 2018 World Cup Competition holding in Russia.

These calculations this time around will take the following shape.

Nigeria will qualify if;

(1) The Super Eagles are able to hold Argentina to a draw in their last group match.

(2) Who says the Super Eagles cannot defeat Argentina? Even if it is by half a goal or an offside goal?

(3) If Croatia helps us by avoiding defeat against Iceland and we play a draw against Argentina.

(4) But wait o! What of if Iceland defeats Croatia by three goals to nothing while we end up playing a draw with Argentina? Can we lodge a protest against Croatia for "selling" their match to Iceland?

(5) What of the option of injuring Lionel Messi early in the game so that it can become easier for us to defeat Argentina or at least get a draw against them?

(6) What of if Brazil beat Croatia as we defeat Argentina? Ehmm, sorry, I forgot that Brazil is not in our group.

(7) Wait O! What of if we decide to pretend that Moses is injured and fly in Junior Okosa of Kano Pillars so as to improve our chances of scoring goals against Argentina?

And so on and so on.

Friends, I tell you for sure. In the next few days before the Super Eagles play against Argentina, many calculators will go to their "early graves" in the hands of Nigerian Soccer Lovers.

Let us already pray for the repose of their dear souls.

Nairaland / General / President Trump – A Real Peoples’ President. Says “no Borders No Country”. by uneeking(m): 8:44am On Jun 20, 2018
That is a real President talking. Not like some other ones especially from Africa that we know. Left to them the country can remain border-less and its people can get attacked on a daily basis. That does not bother them as long as they are able to hold on to power till death do them part.

May God come to the rescue of our Dear Africa.
