No be here we all dey? If it's Siasia or Pitso or elyte or Chelle or Tom... We go know...

Thank God you mentioned my client among these esteemed coaches but one small detail you omitted - you should have mentioned him first.

elyte89:



Even though I don’t rate siasia for d job besides he’s also running against me for d job but saying he needs time to adapt is not logical to me…are u saying siasia has lost his tactical touch of the game, or he’s match rusty(even though he’s not a player? )

This will b d fourth year zidane(a three times champions league winner) won’t be coaching any team / club ..will u say d same thing if he decides to take up a coaching job?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sometimes one cannot distinguish whether this thing is a joke or something real. I wonder if newcomers are not taken in by this.

Mujtahida:

We get politicians here oo🤣🤣🤣. See self nomination flying up and down

them know say nobody go nominate them. So they are using the emi lokan philosophy.

Mujtahida:

I think one's background plays a huge role in whether they have a pan - Nigerian or narrow tribal outlook. [b]I grew up on the Airforce base in Makurdi [/b]and till date just by looking at a person or hearing him speak I can tell where he or she's from. And that's because our interaction cut across virtually all the ethnic groups in Nigeria and we grew up with that sense that we are a community.

My first real contact with the practical demonstration of ethno - religious sentiment was when I went to University in Zaria and when I joined nairaland. It was shocking and I used to get annoyed by it but not anymore. Not many people have the privilege of the kind of background you have.

I put the blame squarely on our leaders especially those of the first republic. Compare them to a person like Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore and see the difference in their orientation. While Lee quickly realized that Singapore composed of Chinese, Malays and other sub-nationals, he ensured that the state adopted a strict policy of merit and neutrality. That is the magic that transformed Singapore to the height it now occupies. (Lee was in Nigeria in January 66 for the commonwealth conference, when he saw our leaders, he said we were not going to succeed as a nation because we were too tribal)

And indeed what did our own leaders do? They dug down their heels and jostled for political advantage strictly on tribal lines. I will nevertheless say that they loved their people sincerely and they are still 100 times better than this present crop of useless politicians.

God bless you bro, growing up in such an environment with so many tribes that till this moment people use to shock when I tell them I know a little about that little tribe they feels someone down south won't know. Yes we do hear of tribal fight between tivs and jukuns. But we grew up from an environment where you come to realise that your parents best friends at from an entirely different region of the country. Moving to portharcourt and nairaland was a different thing altogether.

Mujtahida:

I think your conclusion as per your statement in bold is wrong.

So if I advocate for a player who is from my ethnic group, that automatically makes me a tribalist?


Over the years the bulk of our players in our national team are mostly Yorubas, Igbos with a fair sprinkling of Niger - Deltans and northerners. How then can any Yoruba or igbo person escape your conclusion, if he lauds a player from his place. I think this is how forgiveness came to be branded as a tribalist.

In truth, I can hardly point at any person on this thread who as far as footballing matters go is a tribalist. I've seen all the guys on this thread advocate for players outside their ethnic group.

And in fact we don't even know the ethnic origin of 99% of the members of this thread.

And let me tell you guys the truth. Those who are quick to accuse and label others on this thread are responsible for bringing the rot of tribalism into this thread. Cos once that accusation is made, the accused will be constrained to defend himself and in doing so, the back and forth on tribalism is sustained.

And humility33 yes I can say you are not tribal and even hate tribalism but don't be quick as you often do to accuse others of tribalism. If you see a post that suggests tribalism, ignore it. That effectively kills it.

Honestly, I don't understand why clamoring for a player that is good be a problem even if he is from ones ethnic group.

The person that started what you wrote at the bolded is icon4. The others took over even humility33. Those picking at one for supporting a player from ones ethnic group are pure jingoistic people.

The same don't blame themselves for supporting mediocre players from their own ethnic group.

I call that intimidation to coarse one from suggesting any player outside their ethnic group to be in the National team but unfortunately I can't be intimidated.

That is why they call me tribalist. Shoir!!!

Check all the players I mentioned, they have/had successful care.

Don't mention Singapore...

In Singapore, the indigenes are poor and doing odd jobs while the mixed ones or Chi:nese and Malaysia migrants who have become citizens are the ones holding all or most of the top positions and jobs both in public and private institutions it has nothing to do with merit and neutrality but favoring of Chi:nese and Malaysia migrants by the older Chi:nese migrants who are citizens who had political power ..

Nigeria's under-development has to do with not investing in infrastructure and getting poor loans from the World Slavery Bank and International Slavery Fund that hate black people...

Ukra:ine has gotten over $80 billion in loans since the war with Ru:ssia began... other non-black countries like Singapore also got massive loans in the 70s and 80s while most African countries get peanuts as loans compared to what Eu:ropean and A:sia countries get from this world finance institutions...

currently in U:S:A, illegal immigrants are given over $25,000 - $100,000 each to start businesses, their rent is paid for them e.t.c while hardworking black American citizens get nothing in return...

will you say illegal immigrants have more merit than black Americans?

Nigerians are going places

forgiveness:


So, you are not guilty of tribalism, abi? The reason you couldn't recommend yourself, abi?

I believe they're other peeps here that really need that money to sort things out and also they deserve it.

I am not tribalistic. I hate it with utmost passion and can spot it when someone is. I have been victimised because of tribe before and also with my knowledge on public service it militate against national economic and sociocultural growth

"Hate black people." This is the foolish talk that some pan African minded people push. I don't like hearing that nonsense whether it is true or not. It is the talk of a conquered mind, of a man who lacks faith in himself, indeed a talk by raving idiots.

Do these institutions love the Chinese? Do they love the Arabs? So you want them to love you? Are you a woman?

Bullshit. Don't engage me with that narrative because I utterly hate it. Once you mention our challenges as a race, this wimps, this weak minded, myopic trotters inevitably find a way to rope in the white man. Read the bolded. Did you see how he has placed our underdevelopment solely at the feet of the white man. It's always blame game that has not taken us an inch forward.

Someone said that with the kind of leaders we have, do we need enemies? Again someone said when you are a child, you blame others, when you are a man (a man in the real sense of the word, no be say you carry blokkos) you man up and forge ahead regardless of the odds life has dealt you.

Looking for love up and down like a sissy. You don't even love yourself. Mechionu with this stupid immature sentimental snivelling talk about white against blackman because you are a slave to that thinking. And you don't know that by blaming the white man you have made him your god.

Everytime this unthinking people keep talking about colonialism. Who wasn't colonized? Who wasn't enslaved? Who? I just finished reading Tom Holland's "Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic." Go and read how Rome plundered Gaul, Brittania and Germania (which corresponds to modern day France, Britain and Germany) -killing them, making slaves out of them and colonizing them. Abi you have not read how the ottoman empire raided whites and made them slaves. Go and even read up on the etymology of the word slave. It's derived from slavs, a people of Eastern Europe who were raided as slaves.

What am I saying. Stop crying oh black man! Rise up! The pain you have suffered contains the promise of the heights you can reach if only you look forward and man up.

And to the point about Singapore, I take Lee's book as my reference. What is your reference?
