forgiveness:
Where did you read "biggest club"? Stop twisting words. You lied Yekini didn't play for the best clubs in Africa and you used Asec Mimosa as your reference to compare with African Sports not knowing African Sports was better than Mimosa as at that time. Shame on you. Liar.

Now, let me bust that your lamba.

3SC won African cup winners cup in 1976. The first Nigerian clubside to win an international competition. You are also ignorant 3SC won African Cup in 1992. So your lamba they didn't win anything of note na lamba.

Even African Sports won African Winners cup and Caf Super cup in 1992 after he left.

Don't pollute this place with your fallacy.

At least, you have been schooled Yekini didn't join Setubal in division 2. You lied about that too.

Now, you can take a rest.

Shooting Stars won the inaugural (now discontinued) CAF Cup. They beat Nakivubo Villa of Uganda 3-0 in the final in 1992. I remember this. Felix 'Owoblow' Owolabi was their captain

Back then there were 3 continental club competitions.
1. The African Cup of Champions Clubs, (Now the champions league)
2. The African Cup Winners Cup aka Mandela Cup
3. The CAF Cup

The Cup winners Cup and The CAF Cup got merged to form the CAF Confederations Cup we know today.

Bendel Insurance with Mfon Bassey RIP (what a deadly striker) also won the CAF Cup in 1994 after winning the WAFU Cup 3 times consecutively.

I never really fancy that place called UK. It's just Lagos extension. Canada is the dream

Okay. You've been to the UK?

Fernandez turns at the speed of an oil tanker and is the slowest player from a standing start I have ever seen play for Nigeria. I don't think he has any other qualities that mitigate these flaws in his game. Any team that targets these weaknesses will swallow him whole.

So Fernandez is really an international player? That means I still have hope of playing for Chelsea even at over 30 years old.

Hungry fellows.

DeloitteNG:
Why do the Super Eagles play so well during major tournaments but consistently struggle during qualifiers? We easily thrashed teams like Uganda and Mozambique in the last AFCON, yet if we faced them right now in a qualifier, we would likely struggle to beat them.
We desperately need to get to the bottom of this issue because it is completely obvious that the problem goes much deeper than just the coaches and the players

1. Much better pitches

2. Preparation time. Those 2 to 3 weeks of camping before the tournament is what makes the team play cohesively and ensures their quality and identity comes through. In qualifiers players fly in from all over Europe, land in Africa and within 2 days are on the pitch against teams who see these games as their cup final.

This is the most important reason. When it's all said and done about the individual players you might have...football still remains a team game.

Stay in your country and fix it!

3-nil

We take the L.

We move.

So Guinea Bissau has never lost here before abi.
2021 qualifier Senegal beat them here
2023 Nigeria beat them here
2025 Mozambique beat them here
Abeg this crop of super eagles no serious abeg

All true but doesn't change the fact that a team cannot play consistent build up football on this pitch. You will have to go long as the Guinea Bissau players are doing and effectively turn the game to basketball.

Even Real Madrid will lose to these guys on this pitch. Just watch how the ball moves on the grass each time a pass is made

Says who?

No play off here...only one spot is left for grab

All the results against Tanzania will not be included in the FINAL table. Same will go for all other groups involving a host nation.

Yes, only the team that tops the final table (excluding results against Tanzania) will qualify.

Since Tanzania have already qualified automatically as co-hosts, and only one team will qualify alongside them from Group L,

Does that mean Tanzania’s results won’t count?


No! Tanzania’s results still count fully towards the Group L standings.

Although Tanzania have already qualified automatically as co-hosts, they will still play all six (6) of their qualification fixtures in Group L.

Their matches against Nigeria, Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau remain fully active, and the points gained or dropped in those matches will count in the group table.

If Tanzania finish 1st or 2nd, their position will simply be bypassed for qualification, and the next best-placed non-host team will take the available qualification spot.

If Tanzania finish 1st: The team that finishes 2nd will qualify alongside Tanzania.

If Tanzania finish 2nd: The team that finishes 1st will qualify alongside Tanzania.

If Tanzania finish outside the top two: The team that finishes 1st will qualify alongside Tanzania.

So, Tanzania’s matches are not meaningless. Every point won or dropped against Tanzania can directly affect the qualification race between Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar.

That’s why the Eagles cannot afford to drop any point.

Results against Tanzania will not be included in the final table.

'Soon' is one of the most frequently used words by liars.

Good for them. Shameless old hags. Nonsense.

Again embarrassing themselves and their hopeless country

Why why why

The drug lord has clearly increased his budget for social media trolls this time.....using your public funds.

What a very empty headed people Nigerians are.

Bobo Chicago has really spent money this time on social media shills.

An unsalvageable country is what we now have. I have no pity for any Nigerian.

Vote buying in advance.

Stupid man.

Yes he did...and then proceeded to make it 10x worse.

What a very stupid man Akpabio is.

If sane people were involved this wouldn't be up for debate. A census would be held and the result will be credible, no questions asked.

The biggest group of black people can't even count themselves. Hahahahaha

Irony

Bro has got 242 million dollars in a portfolio on a single platform? What would be his networth then? A couple of billion dollars?

And you guys believe it? 😂😂😂😂

I am selling a bridge in Lagos please help me find potential buyers.

One of the most dangerous jobs in my own classification, I do pity them, I dont know why. They deserve every penny they are paid honestly

Hahaha no need to pity them, they love their jobs! Speaking of professionals I pity, just think about teachers in big men schools in Nigeria. 🥲

200 million seriously desperate people with zero balls and only after a quick buck and willing to sell themselves and their lineage if need be.

The result is the county you are living in and desperate to abandon at the first opportunity.

The worst is yet to come.

Na wa … historical performance for you is not an indicator of future performance I see. Well done.

TopBanter:
It is the way to go. Non cost-reflective tariffs, due to the Government subsidizing power supply, are one of the main problem of the Nigerian power sector.

Fact is that Nigeria needs a fully capitalised power sector. Removal of subsidy totally moves us closer to that.

The quoted below shows how dire the real picture is and the hopeless situation PBAT inherited due to decades of decay and wrong model of funding power supply.

Yet Nigerians who hardly read, nor do research, expect constant power asap.

Well done FG. Pepper them well well

Perhaps after the below questions are truthfully answered, then you can decide.

In a country where you only require primary school leaving certificate to become the president, lord and master?

In a country where several of the 'leaders' are going around parading themselves as university graduates with fake certificates?

In a country where none of the so called elite will never ever consider sending their own children to the local universities?

In a country where tribe, religion, state of origin, local government of origin, quota etc are all of more importance than capability when deciding on hires?

In a country where the public education system is totally decrepit and standards so poor that a significant percentage of university graduates are barley literate and unemployable?

In a country where belief in miracles is stronger and more widespread than belief in cause and effects and hard work?


In a country where 'graduates' give testimony in churches when 'God helps them' secure a visitor visa to western county to facilitate their illegal emigration and begin a new life working menial jobs and living with a false identity to avoid deportation?

Now answer your question...... truthfully. I'll help a bit. The higher priority right now for all right thinking Nigerian youth is the fight to stop the continued ruination of your country.

Yea right

Nairaland thanks for deleting my comment. I know where you stand. Everyone does.
