What does ALATA mean? They were calling us that

Alata means pepper seller in Yoruba. Some of the earliest traders to the southern part of Ghana are ogbomoso traders who traded a lot in pepper. When the Ghanaian govt sent Nigerians out of Ghana a lot of these traders who have been established for decades there were affected, their properties forfeited, this was before our own retaliatory "ghana must go" ejection. So the term Alata has been used to describe Nigerians for a very long time in Ghana.

I wonder why some people insist on derailing the thread. For God's sake there are threads on this forum dedicated to European club football.....Why not go discuss there?

Na Super Eagles we come here to discuss oh.

Hmm. This wan weak me.

Certitude:

Would they want to lose again? Big teams rarely lose three games consecutively.

Nobody wants to lose, not only the big teams

The fact that people do wrong things doesn't make those things good. Two wrongs doesn't make a right.

Thank goodness. That useless club wanted to ruin him after the clown Gerrard made all that noise to sign him.

the club wanted to ruin him? Or he was just not up to par? So Gerrard is a clown because Umar wasn't good enough and he decided not to use him because as the coach of the second biggest team in Scotland he is always under pressure, does that make him a clown?

Mickael2:

I really don't understand your point but it seems negative.

Before Sadiq Umar has got anywhere near Rangers, l described him as being very poor in terms of his physicality. Particularly for such a big guy.

The Scottish league tries to mimick the EPL in its quest for competitive edge and physicality. It's been essentially a one team league with Celtic for near a decade and prior to that a two team league with Rangers. The rest of the league is just about on par with league one in England.

When l said Umar Sadiq would struggle in League one l was called a hater. That's all history now because nits proven.

Dapo Mebude 17 year old Nigerian origin striker is considered better than him.

But it doesn't mean he is a poor player, just not equipped for the type of football that's physical intense. So he might excel in Eredivisie or the Belguim league. Because it's obvious that he is not going to be playing for Roma.

These observation are not done with biased prejudice but from the context of what is required to make it in particular leagues.

Mickael2:



Manchester City have only lost 4 games in their last 77 league games, if the league is so competitive I don't think that should be the case. In contrast Barca have already lost 4 games in the last 50 games, not to mention how many Real Madrid have lost. So how come La Liga isn't competitive but Epl is? ManCity can field their B team and defeat Newcastle easily? Who is in Man City's B team? Kompany and Otamendi, Zinchenko, Delph, Gundogan, G.Jesus, Mahrez/Sane, Foden. Just imagine that team against Newcastle, they do not stand a chance at all

Over the past decade which teams have won La Liga ❓ That is a comprehensive answer to your conundrum.

The Bundesliga has been dominated by one team for near two decades.

Over the past 10 years how many different teams have won the EPL ❓

khunz:
Manchester United's Nigerian-born Shola Shoretire has become the youngest ever player to appear in the Uefa Youth League at the age of 14 years and 314 days.

The winger was introduced as a substitute during the Reds' 2-1 win at Valencia on Wednesday.

Harvey Neville, the 16-year-old son of England women's manager Phil Neville, also made his debut in the competition.

Nicky Butt's Under-19 team won five and drew one of their Group H fixtures to qualify as winners ahead of Juventus

A big clown is what he is. A boy that broke into Roma cannot get into Rangers? What a joke. Gerrard just wasted this youngsters time after lying to get him there

You are right about that, seems u had stayed in Ghana as well.... Even words like "agoo" which in Yoruba means excuse is the same with the Ga community who occupy central Accra region. I travelled north through kumasi, Tamale, and the upper East region. While in the upper east region "calabaar" means prostitute, I found this amusing because norther Ghana to Accra is just as far as Lagos to sokoto. So how did the word calabar get to mean prostitute there, I later realised that the first set of prostitute where from calabar who moved to settle in the upper east region.... So many cultural and language affinities we share since the British colonization ..... Travelling the coast of West Africa as a Nigerian and seeing our influence all over was really great.. I recognized the power of the Hausa language in Bamako and Ouagadougou..

Frankfurt and Benfica are interested in Joe Aribo

I love this.

From 2009 till now four teams have won the Epl, three teams have won the La Liga. If we extend it down to 1999 it will instantly become 5teams apiece. Now let me tell you that only 5 teams have won the Epl since 1992, just 5! How is that more competitive than the La Liga??

Na wa oo, players just dey pop up everywhere, deja vu 1993-1994. A midfield general like Okocha is what we lack and need to pop up.
