Osimhen vs Aubameyang Africa's most dangerous number 9 coming face to face
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a veteran striker known for his speed and prolific goalscoring record throughout his career, while Victor Osimhen is a younger forward recognized for his physical power, aerial ability, and more recent success as a complete and modern striker.
The comparison highlights a contrast between a seasoned and experienced player (Aubameyang) and a younger player hitting his prime, with both recognized as top African forwards but representing different career stages and styles.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Career Stage: Veteran, known for sustained performance over many years. Key Strengths: Speed, experience, and leadership, particularly in the latter stages of his career. He is also the all-time leading African scorer in the Bundesliga and a former top scorer in the Premier League and Europa League. Playing Style: Primarily a fast, often left-footed winger who can score from various positions.
Victor Osimhen Career Stage: Younger and arguably entering his prime, representing the "new generation" of African strikers. Key Strengths: Physicality, aerial prowess, and the ability to be a complete modern striker. He is known for his strength and powerful presence on the field. Playing Style: A more traditional number nine who is physically dominant and strong in the air, but also possesses a quick and hungry style.
What makes u people Christians? Make we hear word jare.
No matter your propaganda if una like go burn all the villages for Benue & Plateau state to create a false narrative by cutting your nose, to spite your ears.
Muslim Muslim go still win overwhelmingly in 2027.
motymop: But reno is one man, he is just an expert in properganda, I don't think he has the money for lobbying.
The other side won, they had the money and lobby the US govt to designate us but they should also remember that if the UD sanction us, it is Nigerians that will cry
And if nigerians cry enough,maybe just maybe it will reset brains and prompt people to action.
FreeStuffsNG: They may actually not be Igbo but influenced by proximity to a dominant majority tribe.
The Bini people's case may be viewed differently though. They are reminded that Ọba is a Yoruba word to remind them of the Yoruba origin of their Bini royalty from Ile Ife.
The Bini royalty and other Yoruba families directly from Ile Ife are still leading Bini people till date. Any bini person who is not directly from the bini royalty or Yoruba families struggle to understand it. I think there are just 6 or so families like the Adu family that are Yoruba from Ile Ife. The other bini families are not regarded as Yoruba.
Bini case is similar to the English monarchy (House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasty) who are from Germany but their English subjects include people who are not originally from Germany.
Unfortunately, I won't be pretentious in my response to your beautiful write up.
I don't know your tribe, so I will comment sincerely.
I grew up in the Southeast and later Southwest.
I have lots of Yorubas as friends, I am Igbo. We went to school together, did nysc together and are still friends till date. Most of us are doing very well now, some live abroad, some in Nigeria, we do chat and call once in a while due to distance.
I also have few Northern friends I met during NYSC because I have never lived or stepped my foot in the North beyond Abuja. My second home after Southeast have always been Lagos, Ogun.
From my personal experience, Yorubas used to be very wonderful and peaceful. We Igbos always praised Yorubas for this in the past even amongst us, we cherished Yorubas and reason we always supported anything Yoruba with our full chest and accepted Lagos, Ogun, Ondo (Ore) as our second homes without ever thinking that what is happening in Southwest now will ever happen.
The current spread of tribalism in Nigeria now which is now mostly between Yorubas and Igbos is caused by nobody else but Bola Tinubu and his Lagos APC.
Tinubu in his desperate effort to continue to confiscate Lagos state felt that the only people that will threaten his political grip on Lagos are the Igbos, brought the renewed division between Igbos and Yorubas.
They always used this style towards every Governorship election in Lagos.
When Fashola was contesting and Igbos supported Jimmy Agbaje the PDP candidate based on party affiliation, Lagos APC started campaigning against Jimmy Agbaje by calling him an Igbo candidate that is not real Omoluabi.
They did same when Jimmy Agbaje contested against Ambode.
Ambode performed very well and Igbos noticed it and started supporting Ambode, unfortunately Ambode fell out with Tinubu due to their internal politics, Igbos kept supporting Ambode not minding the disagreement between him and Tinubu. Next they started calling Ambodi an omo ale because Igbos were supporting him.
In 2019 when Buhari contested against Atiku, Igbos supported Atiku against Buhari.
Lagos APC intensified their campaign against Atiku and PDP, next Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu threatened to throw Igbos into the Lagoon if they refuse to vote for APC in Lagos, that one slid, everybody forgot about it.
2023 came, Igbos had a belief that it was ripe for an Igbo man to become President since almost every other tribe have produced President, they campaigned for PDP to microzone their ticket to Southeast, Atiku supported it but Wike said never that it should be thrown open, Atiku said if it will be thrown open that he would contest. They threw it open, Igbo youths via social media told Obi that if he accept to become Atiku running mate that nobody will vote him that he should contest even he fails. Peter Obi decamped from PDP and joined LP an unknown party.
Gradually LP gained traction as Obi joined.
Gradually LP displaced PDP as the second most popular party in Lagos.
2023 Presidential election was drawing closer, APC Lagos from nowhere manufactured the mantra of Lagos is a no man's land that have existed for decades without anybody bothering or paying attention to it. They started saying Igbos wants to take over Lagos that Yorubas must rise up and stop Igbos. Gradually it gained tempo, and it became worst after Peter Obi won Tinubu in Lagos.
Lagos APC then went on rampage ahead of the Governorship election calling LP Governorship candidate an Igbo guy Shinedu that wants to help Igbos take over Lagos that Yorubas must stop them at all cost.
MC Oluomo threatened Igbos not to come out to vote.
This was how the whole thing became more profound and as Tinubu was sworn in, instead of him to douse the tension as the father of the nation being the President, with his actions he emboldened the tribalists from Southwest by appointing mostly Yorubas and sidelining Igbos and Lagos state government on their side intensified anti-Igbo policies.
So my brother it is Bola Tinubu that is polarizing Nigeria, especially between Yorubas and Igbos, nobody else. Let's call a spade a spade
This is truth and nothing but truth.
But they have twisted everything.
Just days ago, a silly girl was marketing a brand and insulted igbos in the video, just like that, no provocation nothing.
After public outcry, she went ahead to do a cut and join apology, but the retail business she did advert for has yet to discociate with the bigotry she did....they support her.
Go to twitter and see yorubas supporting her, including people with PHD, swimming in bigotry and tribalism
But some evil godforsaken children will come out and blame Igbos for causing trouble.
I've been on this platform for about 12 years. Since I came on board, one feature that has persistently ravaged this site is tribalism. Over the years, I've seen the creator of this site (Seun) and his moderators reel out several interventions to cub this menace, but in reality, these interventions remain grossly inadequate.
On this platform, I've seen people threaten each other with death, I've seen people wish an entire tribe gets destroyed or annihilated. When a sad event occurs, like a tragic loss of life, I've seen people look out for the tribe involved in this act - instead of concentrating on more relevant issues regarding the story.
When I see these things, I sometimes feel sad; other times, I feel scared. Each time I look at these actions, I see IGNORANT commenters "catching cruise" with absolutely nil regard on the possible outcome that may befall us.
But before I explore the outcome of tribalism, I'd like to ask a question: do we really hate ourselves?
I'm asking this question because the hatred that travels online is hardly present in the physical world. I remember when I was posted to Benue State as a youth corps member. I and a good friend (both of us from Southern Nigeria) were hosted by core northerners who are Muslims. We couldn't get our accommodation sorted out at the time, we were stranded. These people took us in, gave us a place to "live" (not just to sleep), and even FED US! Yes, they fed us. Each time they prepared their meals, they factored us into their plan. When we later proceeded to our PPA, I immediately made friends with one Ola, a gentleman (a Muslim too) from the South-West. Till this day, Ola and I still communicate. I have a very close friend who has been consistent in my life for about 16 years. We were classmates in the university (my first degree), we were both posted to Benue State for our national service (though different batches), he was my best man in 2014 when I got married. Importantly, through his guidance and persistence, I was able to find myself back to school where I eventually trained to become a medical doctor. In other words, this "Igbo man" was the instrument God used to guide me to what I consider my calling; and, yes, we were classmates in medical school.
In medical school, tribe never mattered. We hung out, looked out for each other, ate from the same plate, and supported each other. It didn't matter if anyone was Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba. It didn't matter if anyone was a Christian or Muslim. What mattered was that we were humans, and we went out of our ways to support each other.
As a medical doctor, I've seen colleagues from one tribe work tirelessly (sometimes even going beyond the natural limits of their jobs) to save the life of a patient from another tribe.
My point is, in reality, I've met fantastic people from all parts of Nigeria. So far in my life, I'm yet to see tribal hatred play out within my space. In the last presidential election, some of my very close friends supported Tinubu. I supported Peter Obi. We would argue our political positions sometimes but this was never a problem. We are still friends today and life has been fine with us.
So, my question is, in reality, do Nigerians really hate ourselves so badly that we now wish death upon an entire tribe?
Well, I doubt!
Perhaps, the online tribal hatred we all see is a creation of those that benefit from the dividing lines that continue to keep us apart - the politicians. Have you not noticed that each time election approaches, tribal hatred climbs to an extreme level? I think this is all social engineering: the elite ignite and fan bad blood among the populace thereby ensuring that Nigerians never come together to agree on anything.
The most annoying thing, I think, are those people used by these paymasters to achieve this evil act. When I read some posts on Nairaland, I just let out a smile. Some posters here are so naive of the possible outcomes their activities may amount to. Some people here are just concerned about the naira that falls into their pockets. Some just want to massage their tribal egos, some are just being plain silly/stupid. Many, as they grow, will find the posts they make today repulsive (hopefully). Some, sadly, may take this idiotic mentality throughout their lives. Most importantly, many are cowards in real life: they cannot make similar statements in real life, they simply hide behind Nairaland's facelessness.
The Rwandan genocide (1994) was a culmination of decades of "division and incitement of hatred." In Ethiopia, Somalia, and other African societies, the effects of tribal conflicts are glaring.
Do Nairaland tribalists know that their online hatred may one day spill to reality? Do they know that if hatred is allowed to thrive in society, it may build up to a conflict? Do they know that this conflict may lead to the loss of lives and properties? Has any Nairaland tribalist witnessed a war? Can we all imagine what would happen to us all if things continue to get worse? Women raped, children killed or recruited, men tortured and killed, businesses, properties destroyed, no access to healthcare, diseases, poverty, anarchy, etc....
This is why I consider Nairaland tribalists ignorant, stupid, shortsighted, and foolish. Yes, you, if you are among those making tribalistic posts, you are a repulsive, stupid, ignorant, foolish, senseless, self-centred, irresponsible animal. You are a potential killer in genocidal scales as your actions may just lead to a large-scale conflict one day. You don't even know if your life, or the lives of your loved ones, may be the first price to be paid!!!
So, here is my conclusion: in reality, nope, we don't hate ourselves this much, not yet. In reality, Nigerians are lovely, hardworking, and dedicated. In reality, life is calm. But if this online tribal hatred is not addressed urgently and squarely, our reality may be redefined....in a negative way.
