To me, All the Say No Yo Racism campaigns are just nothing. Cashcows for some folks like Nigeria NGOs. Players ate not benefitting. Just waste of show and energy.


And hey, they're all the same. Don't expect it to change when that in itself is one of the pillars of nationalism, esp the current wave of nationalism and politics. Shey na sports e go kon stop? A pity sha.

Quick question
Please why is Akinsanmiro not at the u20 world cup

Because Bosso decided not to keep space for him as Inter Milan made a request for him to be allowed to report to camp late.

Yusuf, Ugbade have no jobs with NFF — Gusau

It's not so simplistic.

Awoniyi is a very different type of player to Origi.

And because it didn't work for Origi in AC Milan doesn't automatically mean it will work for Awoniyi in Liverpool.

Awoniyi is a better type of player than Origi. He is just as fast, definitely stronger and does way more for his team off the ball.

I feel Ugbade should have been given another opportunity given that he lost a number of key players to MRI ineligibility. The team also didn't do badly in my opinion.

Just to pick your brains sir, how about Haaland and Awoniyi comparison?

If we have our countries working, will we care much about their racism? Many blacks the world over will move to Africa and rather deal with Africa’s version — Tribalism

I hope they get a medal though
I don’t see any exceptional player from the highlights I’ve watched
But Gambia has a good forward in Bojang
Bosso made the right choice

The right choice of overaged bartenders and furniture makers.

Well u wouldn't be the first to do this because they were making these comparisons in the Bundesliga last season. Halaand is bigger, faster and his finishing is out of this world. Taiwo has also been improving his finishing season by season and his speed is really underrated. Just look at the goal against Arsenal, that boy was gone.

Of course Halaand is the better player but when u look at their traits, Taiwo is right behind him at almost every category.

Thank you!! You managed your 9ja bias this time with a dose of reality

the funny thing is this version is cos they don mellow. The one of slavery era was they coming to disrupt our ancestors lifestyle with their greed. Even if we have working country or continent, they'll still scramble for us cos our wealth is massive and addictive. Many of them are currently broke like France is.


As for those blacks returning, they themselves are a huge huge problem that may make indigenous africans to prefer the whites after settling down back here. They get wahala. They will need some tough factory reset to commune and stay with indigenes. They may even be more toxic with the tribalism sef. Hmmm.

Love this thread. Anew member though!

I have zero bias, a spade is a spade. Naija Bias Football Channel basically means the content on the channel is Nigerian football related. The word bias gives the title a little bit of edge. Well at least that's how I felt at the time. If anyone really watches my videos will see what I am saying is true.

What’s wrong with bartenders or carpenters ?
You obviously disregard people
Victor Osimhen was once selling water on the streets

I shouldn’t argue football with you in the first place
You don’t follow football in Nigeria
You just comment before thinking

Nigeria has been fielding players of the right age since 2013
Some even do get screened out by the scan and not age eligibility

Iheanacho, Ndidi, Awoniyi, Sadiq are pure examples of such developments

BascoVanVeli:

Accurate analysis
You can’t underrate Awoniyi’s work ethic

Go and sit down. If you don't know what "furniture makers" means on this thread, just go and sit down.

And if you believe that all our U-20 teams since 2013 including Aigbogun's Horrible Team of Shame are genuinely U-20 and that Daniel Daga is genuinely 15 and just turned 16, I have an airport and a refinery to sell to you.

Commot for here, Oga. You no dey watch ball.

Why do we have the quota system, is it not to put inequality in check brought about by bias from tribalism. Human being na the same. When you have food everywhere and a lovely climate all you do is dance and feed the blood thirsty gods with your brother and sister. When u lack and have a wicked climate, it will push you to explore and seek ways to plunder. Na human adaptations. Why are my Igbo brothers everywhere that there is land and water? Adaptation. Its natural. There is only one thing you can do. And it is, do some about it. My black brothers like to talk and blame. If we come together we can outsmart this people. Start from your neighborhood, and come together. First let’s get this rogues from government who are aiding and abetting with foreigners to distroy our country. Will we? No, we will put tribe first

You're right... Racism isn't something that might never ever go away ..it's in human nature...
However,with regards to the context which is how it is being handled, the premier league is still at least making sure that it doesn't become a norm... Hardly will u see fans chanting such racist slurs at a player and go unpunished.
La Liga is sending the wrong message if they don't deal with it sooner...

The premier League is doing window by dressing and highlighting name calling as a central issue and not addressing the core issues.

Name calling is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's institutional endemic and long standing and rife across the entire football league in England.

lovewins:


I didn't limit the scope of racist. There was a context to the conversation. What I did was shine the light on the root of it which is hate.

While I also agree that racist name calling and abuses are largely inconsequential, the reactions from Vini's experience suggest otherwise. Many persons (and rightly so) are not built to consider it as such.

I personally do not subscribe to the "institutional racism" narrative . I believe it's a more nuanced conversation . I think that racism is quite serious, unfortunately we've used it so much for things that aren't remotely racist that it's beginning to lose its potency.

I do believe that everyone, irrespective of race have unconscious bias. By our lived experience, we sometimes believe that certain persons are better suited for certain roles. It most times have nothing to do with hate, it's just how we've learnt to do this. It's why though women's football is played 100% by women, we have less than 30% women coaches handling these teams. It's got nothing to do with hate, it's just how the world has learnt to do things and of course evolution will occur with time.

It's why I am a vast supporter of equality of opportunity. It's how we give people the chance to do damage to our biases. Equality of opportunity however isn't necessarily equality of outcome.

Women's football an example of discrimination and inequality.

Women football is over a hundred years behind mens football in practice and delivery.

If you make a comparison of women's athletics and men's athletics the bare both of a very high standard. With the obligatory difference in gender.

But I can assure you that an academy team of U16 boys will finish England women's national team.

But we are being force fed mediocrity and comedic poor quality football ⚽ just because they are women.

Women have not acquired the experiential and knowledge competencies that men have got over a century. That's not discrimination just pure FACTS.

But a woman will get the job over much far better qualified make coach for one reason she is a WOMAN the pertinent and overriding qualifying component.

Thats reverse discrimination and sexism.

Back to racism, you are either living in Nigeria or you are in a bubble.

Racism is alive kicking and ingrained as well as wide spread and it BLATANTLY denies excludes and castigates black professionals in Football ⚽ management and administration at every level.

It's not a debate but FACT.
