The thing we deh house no deh get value till you Comot for house.

I like Edikango and pounded yam not fish and chips, I like Ukodo not bangers and mash.

I have ZERO interest and attraction to Oyibo ting and so do most Nigerian origin born in the UK boys I know too.

My self esteem emanates from God first followed by all tings Naija and Black African.

You probably need a trip to the cold grey inhospitable Europe to appreciate more, the beauty of what is in Nigeria.
I don't belong in Nigeria, I have never felt like I belong in Nigeria, I can't even find clothes in Nigeria, that is how unwelcome I am. I have to amend everything, dem no dey reason say people like me dey this country.


Dem no like me, so maybe I will try the cold, inhospitable Europe where everybody minds their business and a size 4 is accessible undecided

Throw back video: Nigeria vs Bulgaria 1994 WC.

24 years later, I still don't understand why that Stoitchkov's free-kick goal was disqualified (at 1mins 35secs). Anybody with any Ideas?
Note that deliberate attempt by Amokachi to deny Yekini Nigeria's first goal in a WC (45secs)

We were clinical. One would think that with a 3 nil scoreline we outclassed them, but that's not true. They pressed us, and having someone like Rufai really gave confidence to the defenders.

I love that we took our chances.

Great throwback.

The thing is very annoying. If people are not your type leave them be. Don't demean them because you want to raise your type up.
Nigerian women are this and that, disgracing the country, yadda, yadda, yadda...but we see who is arrested for fraud /drugs abroad, we see the cult members and their rivals that are arrested in Italy for disturbing the peace, we see the ones shouting United States of Nigeria up and down, and the ones who still believe West Germany has a president and they are all male. Baby mama blah blah blah, who is creating the babies? They are opening their legs anyhow but who are they opening it for?
There are a lot of hard working Nigerian women- working hard to survive and support their dependents, to find a job, to finish school, to make the country a better place and at every turn they are frustrated by randy lecturers, disgusting public service officers, culture/tradition, security personnel who take advantage of their positions, a flawed justice system and judgemental Nigerian men who choose to see always see the worst in them. Nigerian women are not worse than Nigerian men.

That was a great Bulgarian team that went all the way to the semis.

Rohr harps on Quality team football above individual quality


”We don’t have Kanu, Jay Jay Okocha, Ikpeba, Victor Agali, we have a team team who must win together, play quality football because not one player can make us win,” Rohr stated in an interview on Channels Television .

”This is the first thing that we decided for everybody to be
attacking when we have the ball, everybody has to defend when we don’t have the ball.

”This quality kind of football brought us to the World Cup. When we get the ball, we have fast attacks, this kind of style is for me among our strengths.

”What I like about the team is the fighting spirit and the capacity to suffer together.”

Famocious:
AS Roma famzing us grin grin


Sadiq Umar is a Roma player.

He's even in for the Athletico Madrid friendly or it's also likely he is among the 35 man list which NFF decided to show us 30 and decided to call the other 5 foreign players to join the team secretly after the friendly match against Athletico Madrid with the excuse that they are just training with the main team. That's all.

No wonder 7 foreign players were called to hide their secret dealings, so as not to make it obvious that 5 were actually on the list. grin

This plan might have been explained to their various clubs in order to secure their release because the clubs, in no normal circumstances are oblige to release their players for an inconsequential friendly that will add no value to the players hence the Roma famzing us. grin

If true, NFF and Rohr wouldn't have been able to explain the inclusion of five targeted players if they announced all the 35 man list at once because it's obvious they are not the best we have this season hence the defactor.

I know the players are the Nwakali brothers, Alhassan Ibrahim, Musa Mohammed and Sadiq Umar. grin

How could they have realised these players names ahead of the obvious better ones that did well this season?

There's nothing hidden under the Sun that will not be made manifest to light.

Wisdom of man is foolish.

Well, I am watching. Peradventure it plays out then I know agent is at work.

i love the team setup , if one player misses the chance the other player is there to execute it , if Yekini had missed the chance , Amuinike was there to carry out his duty , even when Yekini missed the crosses , Amunike went there with a flying header ... the same thing at the back line set up , they played for one another .... this is the similarity this present team has , but i hope they will be displine enough to play together as one unit and hit the opponent when its necessary ...

I'm just saying don't generalize. If you've never been in a position where you are honest and hard working and people question your integrity or dismiss your success because they think it is due to some external factor let me tell you from first hand experience that it hurts.

Perhaps you have come in contact with 10 million of these so called feminist (who are fighting because society has given then a reason to), l would like to respecfully remind you that there are at least 50 million Nigerian women that you are yet to come in contact with.

I won't comment further on this topic. No need to open a thread- I wouldn't want it to be infiltrated by immature young men.

But not without an official mandate and true commitment reflected on merit. The way Aluko was and is being treated does not inspire confidence in a lot of Nigerian origin players in the EPL and Championship.

Crotone Striker Nwankwo To Arrive In Eagles Uyo Camp Tuesday




Crotone striker, Simy Nwankwo will arrive the Super Eagles camp in Uyo next Tuesday ahead of Nigeria’s international friendly match against DR Congo in Port Harcourt on the 28th of May, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

But it is uncertain if he will take part in the game due to the FIFA rule which states that every player listed in the provisional World Cup squad must be granted ten days off after the hectic European season.

Nwankwo who is keen to help Crotone win Saturday’s game against Napoli revealed that making the final 23 man squad for the World Cup in Russia will cap his impressive season in the Italian Serie A for him.

“I should be in camp on Tuesday night,” Simy Nwankwo told CSN through an intermidiary in Italy on Friday.
“I’m ready to stake a claim and I hope I make it to Russia because it will mark a new dawn in my career.”

Nwankwo has scored seven goals in the Italian Serie A for Crotone who need a win in their final league game against Napoli to avoid relegation.

Crotone will also hope S.P.A.L 2013 don’t get a result against Sampdoria on Sunday.

Crotone currently occupy 18th position in the Italian Serie A table with 35 points from 37 games with an inferior goal difference of -3 to S.P.A.L 2013.
