I don't think Nigeria can have a solid super eagles team again after the 94 and 96 set. That was vintage super eagles. The best era in super eagles and Nigerian football history.

Ronaldo cried that day. He couldn't help but displayed his wonderful incisors for the whole world to see. He no sabi cry at all grin. They couldn't believe it. I wouldn't know how true. I learnt their coach warned them about Nigerians. That they must not give up till the last whistle was blown, that Nigerians were good in dying minute magic, judging from Saudi '89 performance and the rest. I watched Saudi '89 on our black and white tv grin

The coatch later reminded them of what he said about Nigeria after we beat them, lol.

We stopped enjoying super eagles performance the moment they introduced politics into the national team. Na celebrity players we get today, those who can book a Jersey slot at any price, just to participate sell themselves to good clubs during tournaments. Eagles used to be pride of Africa, then Cameroun and Ghana
father father! My respect sir

Honestly I don’t like watching those videos…it just makes me want to cry.

Those guys made us soooo proud.

I was studying in the UK back then, and would rush out of class even before the end of the lectures just to catch the games at home.

Can you imagine the pride they gave us in a foreign country that was designed to strip you of your African pride?

Back then there was no Burna Boy or Davido or Nollywood, and nobody really cared about Nigeria in the UK.

And there they were, beating Brazil, beating Argentina. Causing sensation.

I mean, we Nigerians in the UK were just flabbergasted and unbelievably proud of our country, and held numerous parties in celebration.

Absolute legends.
Exactly..

So wait most of the key players na southerners.

Which means when we break the only reason person go hear of north na for terrorism.

Chai and to think that key players are all from South

No wonder many no want make nija break
We have key players from the North in Amokachi, Babangida, Babayaro and lawal. Infact Amokachi is the player of the tournament

I took time to read your past comments and I saw how crazy you are of a tribalist. Like I said I'm surprised an exposed person can be this full of hatred for a tribe.

You just ask the half baked useless school I attended? Lol. I attended one of the best uni in US and the best in GA. The number one best uni for nursing and health care in the whole of US.. Obviously poor people don't attend and they don't admit imbeciles. I'm sure you can't afford to send your children there, that's if you have any .

Meanwhile I'm yoruba and I'm so much disappointed reading what you wrote earlier, calling everyone ipob. Respectfully, shame on you sir. You are a disgrace to those who have you as their love one


So a scammer like you looking for Paypal accounts on NL and posting this (below) is someone who already went to one of the best schools in the US? grin grin grin grin
"Hello everyone. Please I need help. My sponsor is in US and want to send statement to the embassy. Please how do I go about this. Or can I just attach the statement file to the application alone"

You must think that everyone is as dumb as your LP members and your Yahoo Yahoo clients.

I have 5 grown kids, and they are all doing wonderful. If anyone of them should sponsor you, your paper will be halfway approved already. But my kids will never sponsor a Yahooboy scammer like you. For your information, even a poor person can still go to some of the finest schools in the US. They have financial Aid, Student loans, and scholarships if you are very brilliant.

Hey kid, get a real job and learn about world realities before posting trash online. You are nothing but a brainwashed confused HELL U PEE headless mob member and a Yahoo boy at the same time. What a contradiction. grin

I have wasted enough time responding to a kid like you already. BYE
