Are you African American and if you are, you can take the side of the racists that dominates the RepubliKKan Party.

Nope i'm Nigerian. I lean more on the Pan Africanist side.

Who is reporting posts on here? khiaa you say something?

To the Black Americans here - why do you think Black People rarely vote Republican despite being mostly socially conservative? Why in your opinion do you think the Black Church isn't gravitating to the GOP?

Hello Guys. So i decided to create this thread for black people all over the world on NL to come and have a healthy discussion.

So welcome my Caribbean, African American(ADOS/FBA, etc) and of course African folks(yes i'm being broad but oh well)

khiaa, etc

TheGoodjoe ..hope dis man will SOAK UP KNOWLEDGE and b ready for Super eagles role in d nearest future

This is how it should be!! Not like certain folks who will wait for national team appointment.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
It wasn’t and I stand by that, no major news company reported it, I’m not a conservative, the media should stop putting white and blacks together, not everything is racism, they make it look like blacks are being abused everyday but there are countless of videos online where whites are being abused by blacks

Fact of the matter is racism is not as rare in America as most people make it seem. The more we expose racism(or prejudice by anyone) by people, the better it will be.
I find it funny why people don't say the same when Jews call out antisemitism.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
Bleep the Media how they pit the 2 races together every time, how do you want the woman to describe him, btw Biden said if a black doesn’t vote for him in November, then he’s not black enough... tell me any media house that reported that

Again Bleep the media, New York is a Democrat state with a lot of black so don’t bring trump here

If you think the media are not bias, is the black man the only race in America? so why pit us against the white every time, there are Asians and Latino, why always black

Check US athletes, musicians and religious institutions, black dominated it, Asians were cramped up during world war 2, you won’t hear Asians talk bout it but when it comes to black, the media will exaggerate it, media should stop the bias

PS... if you regard TSR as your new source then fvck off, that page screams of racism

You're a comedian. Typical conservative spewing Fox News talking points.

The problem with most of you black conservatives is that you think racism will just disappear if we everyone ignores it.

Oh and you want to claim that Joe Biden's gaff wasn't all over the News??

Disgraceful. Certain mumu Trump and Candace Owens loving self hating Coons will want you to believe that Black Americans suffer from "victimhood mentality" when they complain about things like these.

This isn't as rare as most think and if i hadn't faced it myself - i'd have been a coon like Candace Owens.

If there's a God, he needs to tell us what Nigeria has done to be gifted with such leaders.

obataokenwa:
People don't know that those stages and suffering are the makers of men.

An Igbo boy will serve his master for 9 years only to be settled with 50k and he will not still give up but struggle for another maybe 10years before God will help him to be successful and in everything he will still be proud of his boss and will never speak evil abt him. I remember those days...a guy was settled with 50k after 12 years and he came to my boss to complain...my boss only asked him...did ur oga bless that money? He said yes and my boss said that's all you need. Go and that money will never finish. Today, that guy is one of the authorities in that business. Suffering makes men

Psquare made us to know abt u. Cynthia Morgan destroyed herself with drugs and probably on the process someone used her destiny for ritual.

My people say...if a rat outruns a child, he calls it poo rat

Absolute nonsense!

safarigirl:
I write what I see.

Perspectives are supposed to differ. I have an idea, it just doesn't align with yours.

YOUR perspective. Glad you clarified that.

safarigirl:
Trashing African countries is a fad, it makes them feel cool. Diaspora Nigerians love to trash the country, maybe, to get approval from all their abroad friends, or identify with their abroad people

The only time they are proud to identify as Nigerian, is when they wish to disassociate themselves from the other blacks without 'roots', but for the most part, they are ashamed of their Nigerian roots, and will turn their noses up at the country.


Na the papa I blame, may I never birth any bastard child, that will use my country of birth to catch cruise.

You have no idea what you're talking about...

Lol whenever dude always pulls something off to distract people when he messes up.

Notice how we're not hearing of "Obamagate" anymore?

Well i no blame am. Dude is a master at reinvigorating his base.

One of the most professional and patriotic players we've ever had.

Happy birthday Mr Lawal. God bless you.

TheGoodJoe:
Anytime the NFF wants to give the Job to Harry Redknapp or Yobo, I say Amunike and Finidi get the nod after Rohr.

Who over looks students of Van Gaal for Student of Dave Moyes?

Agreed. I'm not yet sold on this Yobo hype as a future coach.

I could be wrong though...

TheGoodJoe:
I still root for Amunike And Finidi pair.

Both are home grown, played in our local league.

Both played under the highest point of our game, the US 94 team under Clemence Westerhof.

Both played under the tactical grandmaster, Louis Van Gaal (Finidi at Ajax and Amunike at Barcelona)

Both played in the Spanish league which is known for their appreciation of brilliant passing football.

Both got their coaching licence in Spain.

Enough of recycling old coaches and give the younger ones their chances. I say Amunike head and Finidi Assistant.

We can do that after 2022.

sheyishemba:
exactly and also have Better man management
the only problem is his 4 -1-4-1 and 4-4-2 formation which might fail in Nigeria moreover too NFF has lined up hector cuper(Argentina coach ) for rohr replacement for what am seeing rohr staying is not visible
NFF is insisting on a better coach

Hmmm don't think Cuper will be that much of an upgrade on Rohr.

Lets allow Rohr finish what he started.

elyte89:
house....aw true? And what's ur take

Redknapp is the english MC Olumo . He has good eye for talent, plays attacking football and will be a big pull for our anglo-nigerian folks(the guy get sweet mouth no be small)

I still prefer Rohr. Redknapp has been inactive for too long.

Ihenzy:
Kane in the number 10 position?

Yep he's decent there. Might suit him as he's starting to decline physically.

As long as they are black - 100 percent yes.

Solid list but Ike Uche should be in over Benni McCarthy.

Benni's best years were at Ajax, Porto and Blackburn. He didin't do well at Celta.

‘Was a huge player’ – Arsene Wenger names his greatest ever winter transfer window signing at Arsenal

‘Was a huge player’ – Arsene Wenger names his greatest ever winter transfer window signing at Arsenal
After more that 20 years at Arsenal, being asked to name his best ever winter transfer window signing was clearly a tall order for Arsene Wenger.

There were so many great players that passed through the club both at Highbury and the Emirates Stadium, but the Frenchman noted how one stood head and shoulders above any other January signings.

“What a difficult question. Over 20 years, maybe Kanu,” Wenger said to beIN Sports and cited by the Daily Star.

“In the middle of the season, that had a big impact and was a huge player.”

All of that said, Wenger is clearly no fan of the January window, for the advantages that it hands to certain teams at the halfway point of the season.

“I think it is like a race in a marathon where you change the shoes half way,” he said to beIN Sports and cited by the Daily Star.

“It is not right, when once you have started the season, you have to finish the season with the same players. Or you keep it open the whole season like it was when I arrived in England. They have chosen a rule that is not right.”

Although most of the big money normally gets spent in the summer windows in any event, the fact that teams can buy in reinforcements certainly does put some at more of an advantage than others.

babajero:
Just like other politicians made a great move that put us all in this mess. Continue.

Again - This move will help the Lagos state government big time. That's all i care about.

This isn't time for partisan nonsense.

NFF grooming Yobo as Super Eagles future coach, says Pinnick
Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick has disclosed that the federation appointed Joseph Yobo as assistant coach of the Eagles to prepare for a future role of the team’s manager.

Pinnick noted at the weekend that the leadership role displayed by Yobo when he was the captain of the Eagles motivated the NFF to appoint him as a member of the team’s technical crew.

He maintained that Yobo’s appointment would contribute to the development of the Eagles, as the team look ahead to qualify for the 2021 African Cup of Nations and the 2022 World Cup.

“When Yobo was captain of the Super Eagles before he retired, I saw inborn leadership character in him. His charisma and the way he carried other players in the team was exceptional.
“Yobo is a born leader. This is why the federation decided to appoint him as one of the assistants in Super Eagles team.

“We are looking up to Yobo to manage the Super Eagles in future and being part of the team’s technical crew will give him that opportunity to coach the Super Eagles in the nearest future.

“The Late Stephen Keshi was also an exceptional leader when he was the captain of the Super Eagles. He later grew in the coaching job to handle the Super Eagles. Yobo needs to be encouraged.

“This is not the first time a Nigerian retired player would be given this type of opportunity. Yobo’s presence in the Eagles will help the team,” he said.

On Yobo’s lack of the required certificate for the job, Pinnick clarified that “apart from the first assistant in the national team, other coaches that are yet to get coaching licence are allowed to be in the team’s technical set up according to the rules. So, Yobo’s appointment is on track.”

The president also revealed that the federation was working round the clock to raise funds for the Super Eagles’ campaign to qualify for the AFCON and World Cup when hostilities resume after the COVID-19 lockdown.

Yeah until you frustrate him like you did with "African Guardiola" Oliseh. This Pinnick guy talks too much.

babajero:
He is doing it for political clout.

Don't care. It's still a great move.

That's how it should be done!!

Subzero047:
I feel Rohr will prefer a dynamic and hardworking 3 in midfield rather than 2 defending and leaving the creative work to a 10

I think football has moved away from the later

Well you'll need creativity from outwide or your full backs. Iwobi can play from the left.

charlesemeka85:
Its dishearting and shameful to see few shameless fans here barking down on the claims of sarki and obasi with regards to their interview on ex eagles coaches demanding for bribe from them before before they will mk the super eagles team.

Its was obvious and glaring to every real soccer fan prior to the 2013 afcon and 2014 world cup. Obasi in the second half of that season was a regular figure in schalke who were in the champion league that season. He was miles better than uzoenyi, uchebo and nwofor.

A certain gabriel reuben who didnt play a league game all season in lowly rated scottish side kilmanock made the world cup team, same with uchebo who had only 6 goals that season in the colors of cercle brugge whereas imoh had over a dozen goals with sizzling performances in the same league.

Even osaze odenwingie who was doing well in the epl then was forced on keshi whom have already pencilled him down to be dropped. The likes of ekwuekwe and one other local based defender that i cant remember his name made the list at the expense of heereeven's young cb then in the person of otigba.

After the 2013 afcon triumph i was happy but wasnt satisfied with the way selections were made and i knew that in no distance time that "fowl yarsh go blow open" which started immediately after the 2014 world cup.

Its only a myopic mind will stand and boast that keshi isnt the most corrupt coach ever to handle the super eaglez

Players who keshi denied deserved places in the 2014 world cup were

Obasi- schalke 04
Obafemi martins- seatle sounders
Imoh ezekiel- standard liege
Ike uche- villareal
Abdul ajagun- panathinakos
Kenneth otigba- heereveen
Sone aluko- hull city
Taiya taiwo-dynamo kiev
Brown ideye- dynamo kiev
Haruna lukman- dynamo kiev

Took Rueben Gabriel based on "potential" and to make matters worse, dude wasn't even fit.

BascoVanVeli:
When we talk about Keshi's successes u people will ask where his PLAYERS are today. Well where are these people u mentioned above? U people are never content unless there is chaos.

What sort of lame excuse is this? Are you saying Uchebo and Gabriel have had better careers than Ike Uche, Martins and even Sone Aluko?

Stephen Keshi(God bless his soul) was not clean! What Obasi said is nothing new.

iamoyindamola:
Auba is very intelligent, I watch some analysts trying to undercover how he pop goals with ease. Defenders hardly notice his presence until it's late
They later concluded he's a natural goal scorer, they used his 2nd goal against Norwich, wolves and also last season against palace.

His off the ball movement is spectacular. I wonder why Wenger didn't go for him that summer instead of Laca. Auba and Giroud would've been better than Laca and Giroud.

Fkhalifa:
pace and power(Mane, Sterling, Vinicous,Douglas Costa and Traore) is also lacking, but players with flair I agree should also be mixed in.
We need creativity with massive footwork like Iniesta,Carzola,Hleb,Maddison,Bernardo and Rosciky.

Yep. We can have pace and power in the middle(Partey) and someone creative outwide.
