The goal has been recorded as a goal from Fernandes.B

Even people that didn’t watch the match are here saying bullshit... yen yen!

Messi scored two goals, one was disallowed by Var. Pique scored a beautiful header, It was disallowed due to to poor officiating even when it was clear that it wasn’t offside with Var. ATM had couple of hand balls that weren’t given.

The scoreline was meant to be a 4-2–not counting in what were meant to be penalties... yet ATM was awarded a penalty that was a wrong call.

The stats proved that Barça dominated the game, but were unlucky due to poor officiating.


I criticize Barça when they are poor, but that match wasn’t one of those!

Most apartments in Europe—Germany especially, have similar bathroom settings... even in the rural towns!

CaptainFM1:


I can't wait for the day we will also get there. But Op is very correct!

So true!

asuustrike1:

Op wrote ethical things we should follow

Yeah, he did! Apparently!

It kinda felt like textbook manual of a society I have lived for some time—Germany! Having been in the UK, the US and other numerous developed countries, I can really tell you that the Germans had those boxes ticked ahead of so many developed countries.

Op must be living in the western world.

This is an apt description of the German social etiquette!

Been to Standford University. Their Bistro has dope cuisines, plus close proximity to Silicon Valley.

Lagos and fallen/falling containers are like 5 &6. God help us. Amen

The very reason why the country has distorted economic and social growth. How does prayer factor in this?

Why can’t there be a standardized policy for those drivers to comply with in fastening these freight containers before they ply the road? Why aren’t there off-peak and peak hours for them to ensure that the congestion is eliminated? Why aren’t there drastic penalties for offenders?

These are reasonable questions that should be thought-provoking... not the prayer retort!

How time flies! I can still remember urging him to join Theatre Arts while he was on the Diploma program in my department. Congrats man! Just a humble reminder that we’re all not getting younger

What a goal! Di maria

Iceland wan kill Croatia oooo

If this was the approach Nigerians have taken on most of the politicians — who have not only stolen the peoples’ mandate, but have impoverished them — corruption would have been nearly obliterated. Unfortunately, we chase rat while our hut is on fire. #smh

OBASANJO'S BBC HARDTALK: WHY IGBOS ARE ANGRY WITH NIGERIA: Response

My friends who are not from the East of Nigeria where Igbos come from often ask me why there is so much anger in the East and among Igbos. Some wonder why, despite the famed Igbo” wealth’ and enterprise all over Nigeria, the people still complain that Nigeria is unfair to them. Some insinuate that the anger comes from the loss of the 2015 election by Jonathan who the Igbos heavily backed.


And why is it that the current generation of Igbos are so angry as to contemplate carrying arms against the country? With lots following Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB with his secessionist message. Those not following Kanu may despise his antics and rhetoric but are sympathetic to his underlying message. And what is that message? That Igbos don’t feel wanted in Nigeria. That decades of official marginalization and discrimination should be stopped or they should be allowed to take their chances in a new nation.

First, for those who think this is all about Jonathan and Buhari. It is not. Igbos were disappointed that Jonathan did not win. But those whose candidates lose elections lick their wounds. It is allowed. It happens when your candidate loses election. Why did the Igbos invest so much emotions in Jonathan, a non-Igbo from Ijaw? It was more because of the fear of their experience in the past 50 years. Nigeria has placed an embargo on any Igbo man becoming Nigerian president and Igbos understand this.


Jonathan was the next best thing. Other parts of Nigeria have supported their sons to the presidency. Some have bombed Nigeria into submission to get their sons to Aso Rock. Igbos have little capacity to blackmail Nigeria to the presidency. They chose Jonathan as their “Igbo”. But that’s not to say that they are angry enough because he lost to contemplate going to war on his behalf. Jonathan was not really the model of a President the Igbo would go to war for. And even his Ijaw people have accepted his loss. So?

Igbo anger has been building up in Nigeria since the 70s. As kids, people made choices in other parts of Nigeria school years based on the narrative of the Igbo place in Nigeria. They knew about the glass ceiling against Igbos.


After the civil war, despite the “No winner, no vanquished” program, Nigeria placed glass ceilings and no-go areas for Igbos. The war reconstruction program was observed more in the breach. There was the “abandoned” property program that was introduced to drive a wedge between components of the former South-East Nigeria. While the country was too embarrassed to put the discrimination program down in an official gazette, it was there for anyone who cared to look. It was evident in the Igbo police officer who stayed in one position while less qualifies juniors progressed to become his bosses. It was evident when no Igbo qualified to become the Inspector General of Police, or lead any division in the armed forces. It was there when "sensitive" or "lucrative" positions were shared in Nigeria and Igbos were conspicuously absent.


It was there when Igbos were only fit enough to be made Minister of Information until Obasanjo administration came to power. And even recently, it was there when Buhari appointed 47 people to man the critical roles in his government and no one from the South east was there.


Any time there is a federal appointment in Nigeria, its usually the east that is left to shout. It was there from Buhari first term as a Military Junta to his second coming and any other time in-between.

The Igbo elite called it marginalization. Other Nigerians countered by saying no part of Nigeria was getting enough. Marginalization was universal. But they forgot something. The Igbo cry of marginalization was official policy. It was expected. It was programmed. And occasionally, key government officials let it slip that Igbos should not complain. After all, they fought a war with Nigeria. Talk about No Victor, No Vanquished. There was a Victor alright. And they were reminded of that at every turn. Every appointment. Every national project was propagated with the glass ceiling in mind to contain the Igbos.


How can any nation grow when the leaders are mandated to keep a viable component of her resources subjugated and useless because of fear and insecurity? Nigeria was only pretending. Igbos were licking their wounds and complaining and the rest of Nigeria were too busy to notice.

Go to the South-East today. Since the 70s and the oil boom. Nigeria has invested in commercial industries across the country. None has been sited in the South east. None. Refineries, Steel Plants, Cement Firms. Any Industry.


The South East was systematically de-industrialized. Even when it was the best location for any industry, there was always a reason why it should not be sited there. What this means was that any Igbo man that wanted to work in a commercial federal establishment had to leave the east. Add this to the indigenization policy of the early 70s that pushed the Igbos out of private companies. It meant that international companies also avoided expansion into the south east. The Nigerian Breweries, the Dunlop and other such firms sited their plants outside the East and only set up distribution centers to sell in the region.


This is one of the main reasons the exodus of Igbos from the zone accelerated after the war and continues to this day despite the hostility they face in certain parts of Nigeria. And why most Igbos became traders and commercial business men. Access to organized work either in the government, government commercial institutions and even commercial institutions were limited. This concerted government plan worked so well that the even Igbos began to hate themselves and hate to invest in their zone till this day.


The only industrial enterprise in the east are built by easterners; Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha. These are Igbo indigenous industrial cities. The plan was to frustrate them from investing in their zone or force them to move the industry to North or West where it can be taken from them after getting them to transfer the technology.


This has been the practice since the end of the war.
In addition to this, the Federal Government has systematically made it difficult for Easterners to do commercial business even in the East. The Federal Roads in the East are some of the worst in Nigeria. The Eastern Sea ports have been made ineffective. It was a war to get the Enugu Airport upgraded to an International Airport. The former Finance Minister shed tears on the day the first International Flight landed in Enugu. Yes, Okonjo Iwealla cried! Recently, it was only the South East that was conspicuously missing in the New Railway Plan of the Federal Government. Nigeria has 6 regions and one was missing in a national railway plan while nobody cares.


Incidentally, Igbos who reside in the east are the most itinerant in the country and would benefit most from a national transport plan. Even our President Buhari changed the plan to include his village but a major zone of the country was not included.


When you go to the east, despite the lack of federal presence, the presence of police all over the east tells a story. They mount road blocks and make it difficult to have commercial activities to run smoothly. Recently, Customs has joined. And lastly the army. It is an occupied territory. They extort money. They intimidate them by all means. They have recently started shooting and killing them.


Nigeria has made the east unlivable. They sponsor dubious governors, senators, and political leaders that take orders from the caliphate - Purposely, Carefully.

In conversations, people often accuse the east of being clannish or tribalistic. That is far from the truth. No group assimilate or blend in more than the Igbos. They claim Igbos are welcome in all parts of Nigeria, but outsiders cannot come to the East. The question is: why would anyone come to the east? To do what? There is no business to do in the east. Nigeria has ensured that. Why would someone from the South West of Nigeria go to the East to invest? No one would prevent them. But it hardly makes commercial sense. Nigeria has ensured that.


Those from the North are there in droves. Igbos love to celebrate with cows. And the cattlemen go there to sell their cattle. No one molests them. In the villages in the East, these northerners live unmolested. But those are the only people who can find commercial reason to be there!


So those who wonder why Igbos are angry, wonder no more. While most would not dare carry arms against Nigeria, don’t under estimate the level of disconnection and anger especially among the younger generation who feel hopeless and in prisoned for something they did not do.


Nigeria is made of nations that came together to form the country. No nation will like to remain in perpetual servitude or slavery. Igbos were at the forefront in the fight for Nigerian independence against Britain. If they did not allow Britain to subjugate them, they surely will not allow any local power or they may strike at the slightest opportunity at other pseudo dominating power over them.


That Nnamdi Kanu’s supporters starred down army tanks with sticks is a sign that the next generation will be ready to fight bare hands if necessary to stop Nigeria treating the Igbo nation as second-class citizens. There will be fiercer and angrier Kanus in the immediate future if Nigeria does not officially stop the “vanquished “program against the Igbos who fought the civil war.


You cannot preach *unity* and *indivisibility* of the country on TV and all your actions point to discrimination against the components of the country. It is hypocrisy. It is as dangerous as it is foolhardy.


Let those who preach unity walk the talk and stop open discrimination of their countrymen.


History has shown that you cannot decree peace. You cannot decree unity. You cannot force any group to belong to a country by force, it may work for a time. But never sustainable.



Nigeria has a lot to look forward to as a united country. It also has enough for the regions and nations that make up the country. Our diversity is a blessing. Our failure to reach our potential is caused mostly by the internal contradictions and the inability to build a fair country that can bring out the best out of her component regions.



Those who shout most about loving Nigeria today are mostly those its current unfair structure favor. But Nigeria will continue being as strong as its weakest link. And the weak links are all there to see. The East is one of the weakest links. Until it stops being a weak link, Nigeria cannot truly make progress.

@op;

The same reason I swore never to have my Master programme in Nigeria. In fact, that was the best decision I have ever made in my life. Studying in the western world would avail you the opportunity to explore issues that are relevant in our world today... not some rigid and antiquated curriculum that is prevalent in the Nigerian educational system.

Well, 1bitcoin is now $10,000 and Something. Check my signature. Join the facaebook group.
Thank me later

That ‘bubble’ will soon burst. Trust me! That’s way too overvalued. A Canadian friend of mine who is a bitcoin miner told me the exact thing about 2hours ago while on the train.

Some people believe in tithing, and are at peace with that. They believe steadfastly it works for them. Good for them.
Some don't believe in tithing, and they feel it's never worked for them. Also good for them.
Its all about choices.
Nobody is going to hell for not tithing, and I've never heard any preacher say that (i know some probably have, but ive never heard it).
But the most important of all is for us to do charity. Help the needy. Find a cause and put your all into it. Is your passion or sympathy with orphans? Is it with indigene students who can't pay school fees?, Is it with the sick? Many need your help in hospitals, is it in rehabilitation of drug users and prostitutes? They abound all around you. Choose one and make an impact.
What is however distasteful are christians shouting tithes are being paid to rogues, yet dont pay any, and yet won't still help those around them.
Let your life reflect the Christianity, not Judaism btw.
For christians, no 1 and all other commandments and teachings of Christ is love. If you dont love your neighbor whom you see, feel, touch don't even bother to claim to love God who you cant see... na Jesus talk am o.
Christmas is coming folks, a reminder of who you are. Its easy to forget. Let it show.

The best comment so far! Nice insights bro.

I guess not close to the eiffel tower cos of the restriction issued to tourists against that.

Anyways, I wish them whatever they wish themselves!

that ballon d'or was awarded on January 2014 and mind you he won the super cup for 2012/2013 season so it wasn't a no-trophy award afterall.

When smb like Ribery went home with a treble, helped France qualify for W/C but never got Balon D'or, while CR7, who struggled to qualify on play offs, without any major trophy, got an extension in voting and Balon D'or .


Balon D'or is a joke!!

bro thanks for giving the OPS this advice, I intend doing my masters also in Germany also in computer related field am about starting the process but what should be my budget please I really need your advice since you are doing your Msc over there already I was told of university of Koln,just give me your candid advice as regard finance and choice of school Pls

- the 'intent' to have your masters abroad is a smart move.

- Computer related, Sehr gut!

- Financial budget is stipulated by the German embassy: open account here and fund it with €8800 for your 1 year expenses; or get a sponsorship letter from a relative/friend/sponsor who is currently working here or a German citizen.

- all cities in Germany are viable when it comes to jobs. But bigger cities will attract bigger pay and have higher cost of living. Koln is a nice city.

- I cannot exhaust all the info you would need for the process. Find and follow the thread here on Nairaland.

[b]OP never allow ppl stop you from achieving your dreams and exploring the world. Germany would be your best destination behind Canada & the States. Since you don't have much for tuition, Germany should be your target. They have the best economy in Europe and thrive better in the Computer/Engineering /Science fields when compared to other European countries. Moreover, tuition is largely free - only 2 out 16 states have opted out. Also bear in mind that in Canada and the US, you definitely need to pay your tuition fee, while in Germany you pay a token (semester fees -usually €200-300) and have the remainder of your money in your account. Factoring your blogging job into this discourse, as well as other opportunities for part time jobs, my brother, you will be fine. I'm currently having my masters here in Germany. Anything Computer related, never try it in Africa - there will always be vacuum in the learning process due to lack of practical and obsolescence of curriculum. It's better you have a practical feel of what you are about to study, especially when applied in real life scenarios. The choice is yours to make, but remember that it can make you or mar you!! Enough said!!! [/b]
