Wow congratulations , God really favored you that was realky a long wait wishing you all the best


Have a question how is it that you got your visa with no bank statement in it ?
Or was it a mistake on the lawyer's part ?
Or you get connections in Buckingham palace lol
Pls share with us lol

lol....no Buckingham connection oh......We didnt get the bank statement on time, so we had to send the supporting document before the end of 2wks. So he purposely didnt include return envelope....It was sent subsequently along with the return envelope

Sports / Re: My Reasons Why Amodu Should Remain Super Eagles Coach by Dukelord: 9:11am On Dec 25, 2009
@Sagamite:
9ce post. This is rare especially on Nairaland, I mean someone doing a detailed job but it would have been better if your stats have sources.

While its ok to thread the "end justify the means" line, there is always a problem with that school of thought. It encourages lazy jobs, and it sometimes gives false achievement.

Its just like saying someone is brilliant because he passed jamb with flying colours without evening considering the possibility of cheating.

On the other hand, I will hate it maybe not as much but quite close if you are on the "means justify ends" train but has nothing to show for it. But if you ask me to pick one, I'd rather work with the latter and probably modify it to ensure I achieve my goal. Even if Amodu stats says he's doing fine, the methods are far from convincing.

May be if Amodu is given enough chance may be his overall coaching dexterity will improve (which I naturally think shld) but then Africans culturally relaxes when they feel they r number 1 and complacency kicks in.

To state exactly what the problems are:

Those boys are not disciplined (Watch the last few minutes of Kenya vs Nigeria's match and compare with other matches in d qualifier or the first few minutes of Tunisia vs Nigeria). They lose the ball easily (Not that I want to kill them for that) but atleast if you lose the ball try and fight to get it back. Thats what Nigerians want to see, that you are trying your best.

Back in the days, when Italy used to allow you to knock the ball around, and they will end up scoring the goals (Things r not like that again). The only team that does that today are teams with exceptional shooting accuracy with dead ball specialist which we have none of. In fact if there is anything, we dont create chances (cos we can string passes together plus misplaced tactics) and we dont have good shooter and dead ball specialist and above all, no creative player.

In this type of situation, we need discipline/dedicatn/motivatn in the team and any coach handlin the team shld preach that. This is synonymous to an average student he has to study hard (He should not try to crash his exam, in fact he shld start readin from resumptn), compared to a talented student ho just need to start readin few weeks before exam.

Nigeria's style was (yea it was) fluid passing, they cant even string up 3 accurate passes without losing the ball? Someone has to get that blame.

And I have also noticed that Amodu has played more African opponents in all his games as a Nigerian coach. I am not sure he has played up to 5 non-african teams (which is why I said it would have been good if you have a detailed stats with sources).

Lets see what he will do againts european opponents and then against south americans, then we can conclude on him.

Anyways, very good post by sagamite cos ve never judged Amodu from this perspective before (even though I subconsciously recognise he has more achievement than failure)

Does it mean PDP has done (fairly) well in the past 8 years?
