He raised the point of Joel Obi who wasn't really getting playing time but managed to add value to our bare midfield. Did a better job than regular Etuhu.

You are still harping on Ibrahim's age (which I agree with you) and didn't agree that Ayew had to go to Arles Avignon on loan to save his Marseille career. It was his performances in Arles that got him into reckoning when he returned to Marseille. @12large1 was trying to say that if PSV didn't find value in Ibrahim, then Celtic would. This is where I disagree with him and would have expected you to counter with Rabiu's failed loan stint with a 2nd divison club in Portugal when he was still a Sporting Lisbon player.

On the other hand, He has failed to admit that Rabiu's brilliance is phantom because he is an age cheat. Therefore, It is no surprise that he is unable to fulfil his potential and I doubt would do a Joel Obi, Emile Heskey or Miroslav Klose (rubbish club players but do a decent job in the national side). This is because Rabiu was anonymous in Egypt 2009.


On a side note, Age cheating is an overwhelming advantage in U-17. After this, Talent begins to shine and by the U-23, It is almost non-existent. Theo Walcott is currently 22 and starts ahead of 30 year old Arshavin. One would think in an U-23 setting, the age difference would matter for little. It is just that the Africans would never develop better players to win the world cup if they continue to cheat and would only continue to produce 20-cap players till they stop this behaviour.

One of the best things you would ever do for yourself as a man is to heed this advice! If it embarasses you that I have called you out, You should be quite aware that you put yourself in that mess by 'begging' or soliciting for 'help'.

There is no shame in learning a new tact no matter how late. I do hope you come to that self realisation that you have received all the help you would ever need and today you are literate and healthy. The rest of it is up to you.

Do not go on with life thinking that your existence depends on the goodwill of anyone else you will remain subservient to whoever throws you a bone. There are many ways to be successful and many different ideas of success. Choose what you would term as success, work hard to achieve it and quit 'begging'.


On a side note, If you have geological queries, feel free to express them.

I read geology fron unimaid.am based in lagos and currently unemployed.pls can someone help me wit any kinda job to enhance my cv.tanks

No one would and should

Can Nigerians stop with this self-defeatist attitude! 'I beg you' 'Help me'. . . . When did anybody get anywhere by begging? Have you bothered to visit proper forums and sell yourself positively without looking like a half wit.

This thread is meant to exchange ideas and possibly get a bit of guidance BUT someone has come in looking for 'anything'. Kai!

All of Thandiwe Newton's haters should move! Na today holywood begin to use biracial person act black role? Ben Kingsley (mixed race Indian) acted as Gandhi. Anybody wey no like am should boycott the movie and go produce their own.

cashmentor:

Whats this War all about? U guys pls grow up!

One belligerent has a borderline inappropriate love for Rabiu Ibrahim. Even in the light of overwhelming negative evidence, the few dance moves performed by a rapidly declining player 4 years ago seems like yesterday and is used as proof why Rabiu Ibrahim needs to the be first name on the SE team sheet.

The other has an insatiable need to rid all perceived 'online m0rons' of their 1diocy and has also launched a massive nairaland campaign against perceived age cheats in under age football.

I am enjoying the banter and haven't picked anyside yet but I want to think 12large1 is leading on points so far.

yamakuza:

I hear theres a lot of money in solid minerals.

What are you guys doing about that?

The 'money' is not really clean. The exact amount of ore deposits I daresay are unknown. Apart from Limestone mining which the big cement companies have cornered, not much is done.

When appropriate 1: 20 000 geological maps are produced then the proper quantification of ore deposits can be carried out. Lecturers are busy drilling boreholes instead of pressurizing the appropriate ministry (solid minerals or interior) to map this country.

Luis Suarez!!

Moussa Sow!

Joseph Yobo!

Sagamite:

What is IM?

How does suppressing salary gain promotion?

What is "other selfish reasons"?

This explanation is not clear.

1. International Mobile

2. 'Suppressing' salary is meant to reduce operating cost and hence higher profit margins when revenue increases. The manager would be rewarded with a bigger bonus or a promotion if he has consistently posted larger profits. However, bereal16 is unaware that this practice is done in many companies all over the world and that they actually don't suppress the salary but the so-called IM staff are paid the extras as 'inconveniences'

3. I'm not sure about this perhaps he means that they shouldnt chase after their bonuses or something else. I'm guessing here.

He must've worked there for 5 years but he isn't sure how and why there is a pay disparity amongst staff in the same company and is holding only one reason valid. which I think is not the most important reason why his IM friend earned 70% more than him.

bassette:

Things like this make my hrt bleed cos I knw Nigeria as a nation deserves better, I honestly feel 4 dis our dear country, I often wonder @ people who feel d only way dey can make sense is by downgradin sum1 els's thread/write-up or creating un-necessary attention by dier responses, sad.our primary aim sud b 2 c a better Nigeria of our drms, we can criticize yes but thr is no nid over doin it.Our can we salvage dis nation is what sud b our drive not launching unnecessary attacks thereby derailing a somewhat gud thread.

I would attack him because he does not mean well for Nigeria. He is just a disgruntled rent-seeker that is looking for relevance. Like an earlier poster posited, He should give us the history of groundnuts and why his kinsmen killed that industry.

No one derives joy in downgrading another but it irks anyone when people like him pretend to care about Nigeria. He is being disingenuous with his write ups and I do not blame you for your stance because if you watch his tactics and that of some other politicians in Nigeria you would understand our grouse. We know all he has written and No one especially a thief would like to be judged by another with a questionable past.

El-Rufai if he means well should publish his earnings throughout his stay as a favoured rent-seeker and justify the land he handed out to himself and his cronies before pontificating about an oil industry if properly managed he would have little contribution or benefit from.

yomola:

Siasia should stay, he has done very well in my opinion. I love the discipline and sense of urgency he has imbued into the team.
It is not as If we would win the Nations cup anyway with these crop of players that could not convert 5 easy scoring chances,
When we have the likes of Ivory coast on a hundred percent qualification record.

Siasia definitely has some positive output to the team BUT his naivety tactily and his over confidence (Against Togo in WAFU and now Guinea) has shown he is not the answer going forward. Every nation would love to have a Valery Lobanovsky and I think we can tinker till we find him.

Siasia needs to work in the pro-league with all the attendant hassles and win the CAF champions league then I'd trust him with winning the AFCON which should be Nigeria's target to dominate the AFCON like Egypt did and then face the world.

Those Guinean players are not better than our SE but on the day they were tactily disciplined and for some poor refereeing decisions should have indeed won that game. Siasia reminds me so much of Raymond Domenech. Headstrong and demands respect rather than earning it!

El-Rufai is now pontificating because GEJ's sharing largesse hasn't reached him. His antecedents as FCT minister does NOT remove him from the rent-seekers he is currently castigating.

The turd is throwing tantrums like a 2 year old who has wet his pants because his source of free income is no more. I do NOT for one second believe this man means well for Nigeria and should keep his write-ups because we know he is only angling for a share of the spoils as he did as BPE director and FCT minister.

Siasia has to go!

We don't care about 'improved' play or his other excuses. He should have beaten Ethiopia!! I mean Ethiopia!!!! The dude has lost the plot and should get the boot. NFF supported him all the way and he has no excuses.

However, I do not want to see any Serbian or backwater European mercenary. Nigerian football must go back into FIFA top 10 and I believe that can be achieved and sustained with a Nigerian coach .

My shortlist for Siasia's replacements

1. Sunday Oliseh
2. Daniel Amokachi
3. Okey Emordi
4. Kadiri Ikhana
5. Stephen Keshi

After proving that your region is number 1 in functional illiteracy, what next? Instead of discussing ways to swim above the filth dumped by the ruling class, bigots are creaming themselves over results/enrolment figures in exams where a majority of the students cheat to pass.

Politicians mantra

1. Targets
2. Promises
3. Signed
4. Will deliver

can't they just fix the bloody economy and broken down infrastructure and stop blowing all this hot air. They will have no need to make speeches and promises if they actually work

Na wa. . .See thread invasion to tell us our own history. OK we gree. We are Igbos that learnt a new language and culture vastly different from anything found in SE Nigeria. Don't worry after your internet screams, we will dump this new language and culture the white man taught us and embrace our original language (21st century Igbo)!

Nairaland needs a like button. . .

harakiri:

A friend of mine once said :

"Any man who doesn't get killed by a woman will live long"

Before a man will type such on facebook,he has tried his best to settle amicably with the wife but women will always want to push you and see how much bull$hit you can put up with. All the poster is concerned about is the man's comment on facebook. She doesn't care about the hell he's going through in that bondage called marriage and neither does she care about the man. All she's interested in is smearing his name all over the place which is typical of women. She is either the useless wife or a useless friend of the useless wife. Useless women. Before marriage, they'll act as if they will die if you aren't ready to walk down the aisle. After you decide to toss your freedom and imprison yourself with marriage, they do things to accelerate your death. From what I see, it seems a woman's primary objective in life is to shorten a man's life.

If I am stoopid enough to get married and my wife leaves my house like the married man in question, then the marriage has ended. I don't care if kids are involved. Women always remember to use religion,family members and kids to either blackmail or manipulate men. I would rather eat $hit and die than let any woman get away with such nonsense!

Useless creatures

The bolded is priceless!

Sisi fanya munju bele! O tiye paka?

Dede1:

I shall not join issues with you about rumor pertaining to Ogoni. However, if the rumor about Ogoni is remotely positive, the so-called Ijo are certainly posters and migrant fisher men. By the evidence of physical geography, there were Ogoni befoe the so-called Ijo.

I just mentioned that (about Ogoni) in passing. I just wanted you to be more elaborate about the Ijaw origins (the porter route). You are quite confident in your assertions and I want to know all of it. This could be quite interesting

Dede1:

This troll called Killayut is pathetically ill-informed. It was Calaberie to Calabari and then Kalabari. Have you pause for a moment and ask yourself why everything about Ijo is concocted? Few goofy moonlight fairy tales indicted the so-called Ijo are immigrants from Bini. Now, Bini people are unequivocally stated the Ijo were European posters and migrant fishermen.

You need to initiate the search of a dark goat when the Sun is overhead because it will very difficult when the Sun is set.

Just for the records, Where do you think these porters came from? I'm putting together excerpts from all these gist. There is a rumour that Ogoni came from Ghana. However, If the original Ijaws where porters, were they also Ghanaian or other coastal villages along the Bight of Benin and Biafra?

Also, do you know the origins of the kalabari language?

aribisala0:

no they will not shudder. i certainly do not shudder to learn that people once lived in caves. it is called progress which hopefully will be endless. we are NOT perfect

They would just like you did (I hope) when you learnt about human sacrifice.

22 pages of insults and online bullying. Yet no one is volunteering bar PhysicsQED to rid the postulations of obvious myths. That is because we do not quite know the exact events and have no archeological digs to back up any tale that we vociferously espouse.

One day , our children will shudder at our intolerance and bigotry.

These 'problems' are the fruits of our cultural norm today. It is called GREED! I want it all! I want it all!! I want it all!!!

Lets say you get twin boys after your expensive treatment, you get a child with down's syndrome and another with schizophrenia. Would you try again to have boys?

Yes indeed, there are pseudo-scientists out there that can help you with your 'predicament' and with a lot of hope and 'prayers', your wish may be granted! However, your husband's fidelity has ZERO relationship with anything you say or do.

The rumour mills have it that Patience is childless and Stella had a ret'arded child. This didn't stop their HOS husbands from cherishing them. I actually believe it is YOU and not your husband that 'wants' this male child.

The poster needs to be flogged for this thought process. Now blame the victim!

Maybe If we stopped buying clothes and cars, we'd stop getting robbed

If we stopped talking to people, we'd stop fighting

If we stopped living, we'd never get sick

If women covered up from head to toe, they'd stop getting raped.

This thought behind this thread is daft and mean spirited. At no point did he insist that all rapists be tied to a stake and burnt or castrated as a deterrent.

Have our grid lines been upgraded OR have generating capacity gone above 4GW? Since the answers are NO, The OP is engaging in a simple minded praise of an inefficient government for either two reasons 1. The OP is simple minded 2. The OP is disingenous. My guess is 2!

I think that scripture is meant for you.  You are somehow reveling in your 'wisdom' at deciphering the bible that you have failed to see your own folly and God's apparent foolishness.

@ow11 . . yeah, a kanyagha. What is "sim"?

sim means 'to call'

Dede1:

You are a known revisionist of Ijo extraction who does not need additional clues to engender more damages than required. Definitely, you can not secure such clues from me bros.

I think you've go it confused. I don't think people can make up stories just for political gain with no iota of truth. I had a story which is not exactly the same as yours. I have since realised that we are both rehashing oral traditions which you and I know are normally filled with exaggerations. Therefore, I do NOT believe we are both right. However, I do believe it is necessary to filter the gist handed down by our parents and the truth will emerge.

You have never shifted your stance because you believe you know it all OR your parents do NOT embellish OR my parents are unrepentant LIARS! I do want the truth to surface and would willingly listen to opposing ideas to remove as many lies as possible. Since you won't allow your own story to be dissected, I would let it slide.

Someone once mentioned on this forum that the 'tribal' affiliations Nigerians fight over were alien to our ancestors. I believe that line of thought and if we must make major groupings along these new tribal lines, then marking out generic boundaries would be Impossible as we are using mainly language similarities as our yardstick for assigning villages to 'tribes'.

@Dede1

Were these natives were Igbos or Oru as Abagworo suggested. Then I ask again what does Ama onye nabo mean in Igbo so that I can verify whether it serves the same purpose in present day Ijaw land.

El-Rufai should stop pontificating and confess to his atrocities during his time as FCT minister. We would forgive him and listen to his already tired dribble about corruption in the FGN which he was part of and continues to 'enjoy' its benefits!
