Thank you Sir. Ask anyone who is a real west Africa traveller about Yorubas in Benin,Togo,Ghana and Cote d'voire and he will tell you that most are from Ejigbo in Osun state and they do come home during festivities.

In Ejigbo you don't need to come to Lagos to board ABC or chisco buses to west Africa especially Togo and cote d' voire cos the buses are right there at their door step.

The Yorubas in West Africa countries are not lost cos they have a very strong link back home.

There are those who left Nigeria 300 years ago and have created communities and cities in Togo and Benin. Atakpame for example is the 5 largest city in Togo and it inhabits an ethnic group that traces their origin to Ile Ife. And that’s why they refer to themselves as Ife people of Togo.

There are also other communities or cities formed by the Yorubas in Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone etc. For example, Porto Novo the capital of Benin Republic is a Yoruba city and they still trace their origin to Nigeria.

The Ejigbos could have hands in the formations of these communities but many are not the original settlers.

Hahaha so who really has no shame and who is the liar here?

U asked for it, now you have it




In the bolded, I didn't even see any word synonymous to the word "OFFICIAL" neither did I see "UNOFFICIAL"
But today u have introduced the word to save urself. U have no shame boy

Now face ur palm and stop trynna save ur face

According to your reasoning and the principal word, INVOLVED with equates to being employed and or an official member of staff contracted or otherwise with the NFF.

So because I have had involvement with the Nigeria police. I am now a policeman according to you. Chei see reasoning. Or are you doing comedy, so people can laugh �.

Add to the fact in the post I clearly slate the NFF officials for corruption, favoritism, unwholesome practices, etc. So I would effectively be castigating myself if I was part of the NFF. Does that make any kind of sense to you.

You said I CLAIMED to be part of the NFF. That's the central deduction made by you, that this entire discourse rests on.

I don't know how you reason It is not implied or even suggested.

So plucked your deduction from your brain, cause it was certainly not here.

Instead of you to quietly carry yourself go, hide your head . You deh make noise, if you no shame,I shame for you.


Eéeeeeee be like say school no deh your village, because u deh do like person were tink say, na only him go school.

Chei bro, go hide the shame too much.

This translates to about £15k/week excluding bonuses. Still very far away from the premium and he is about one of the least paid at his parent club Everton.
Critically looking at this figure, the it is safe to say the move is very moderate in today's football economy.

In reality many I fact too many championship clubs pay way more than that.

And someone will say the Championship is lower than Turkish league

tbaba1234:


You are right. I just felt that a top league would give him the challenges needed to improve but Turkey is better than Belgium so it is already an upgrade.

Turkish league is better than the Belgium league in what way

The Turkish league is rated below the Belgium league by UEFA.

What does the future hold for Victor Moses following Maurizio Sarri appointment?



Correspondent

Could the wing-back be pushed to the curb yet again in the wake of Antonio Conte’s departure?


“Good things come to those who wait.”

You'd probably not begrudge Chelsea supporters for muttering that statement repeatedly following the completion of Maurizio Sarri’s protracted appointment as head coach of the Blues.

They’ve hitherto had to endure a tortuous summer in their search for a new manager, and having suffered an atrocious 2017/2018 campaign under the now-departed Antonio Conte, the discontent among the fanbase as a consequence of the club’s supposed transfer inactivity was probably justified.

However, the West London club finally have their man, and things in the capital are definitely set to get interesting as they look to prepare for the upcoming campaign.

Managerial changes are often accompanied with suggestions of modifications to playing style and personnel, and with Sarri, the precedent definitely gives that assumption a bit of credibility.

A few Chelsea players might be sweating over their futures at the club – not least Victor Moses, who was reborn in an unfamiliar role under Conte. Even though the Nigerian is another who's aware that good things come to those who wait, could his spell of prominence at Stamford Bridge have come to an end?

Prior to Conte’s change to a 3-4-3, the Italian set up his side to play a 4-1-4-1 in the first six league games of the 2016/2017 campaign which saw Moses on periphery of the side, with the trio of Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro Rodriguez preferred in the wide attacking positions.

However, having made five substitute appearances initially, the former Wigan wideman then went on to start 29 games from the next 32 in his new right wing-back role as the Stamford Bridge club sealed a fifth Premier League title success.

Injuries, a dip in form and competition from new signing Davide Zappacosta saw a reduction in appearances last season, but the Nigeria international still featured 28 times in the league, with 25 being starts.

But could the managerial change prove detrimental to the converted wing-back?

Going by his time at Napoli, Sarri’s appointment will probably bring about a change of tactic to a 4-3-3, which could see the London club move away from the three-man defence they’ve utilized for the best part of two seasons. The switch would ditch Chelsea’s reliance on wing-backs to stretch play out wide, and with Moses so-far unable – or hitherto untested – to play at right-back, he’d yet again slug it out with, as it stands, the aforementioned trio of Hazard, Willian and Pedro for the wide roles.

And he seems to be fighting a losing battle before it’s even started.

Very rarely do managers show tactical inflexibility when they find themselves in new surroundings, but they however make sure their respective philosophies serve as a foundation for what they’re trying to implement, regardless of tweaks… and Moses may find himself on the wrong end of Sarri’s style.

Maurizio Sarri Napoli Inter Serie AThe Italian’s famed 'Sarriball' at Napoli was recognized for its evident coordination and orderly movement.

The players seemed to know where team-mates were going to be and the coordinated motion was joyful to watch. Playing out from the back always saw the central defenders – Kalidou Koulibaly and Raul Albiol – split and stay out wide with deep-lying playmaker Jorginho–who has incidentally followed Sarri to the Bridge–drop back to receive the ball.

The full-backs–Faouzi Ghoulam and Elseid Hysaj–then pushed further forward to join the pair of Marek Hamsik and Allan in midfield with the front three–Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon–staying in position.

With Jorginho receiving the ball in a deep role to form a back three, the four men in midfield and three upfront, it ironically resembles the 3-4-3 formation which Chelsea played under Conte and one might be tempted to imply Moses should have no qualms playing at right-back.

However, it’s not that simple.

As the Little Donkeys’ play developed, it morphed with both centre-backs remaining in position, Ghoulam, before his injury, pushing further forward to give width down the left while Hysaj mainly remained in position on the right.

Hamsik mostly roamed forward to make it a front four, while the pair of Jorginho and Allan held their positions, albeit with one covering for the marauding Algerian full-back. Insigne naturally tucked in to allow Ghoulam to invade the left flank–and sometimes swapped roles with converted front-man Mertens–with Callejon maintaining width on the right wing as most of the side’s moves developed on the left side.

With the aforementioned illustration, Hazard will act as Sarri’s inside forward, Willian will hug the touchline on the right, while, as there seems to be no false-nine option at Chelsea, Alvaro Morata will lead the line. This puts Moses exactly in a position he’d been since he signed for the London club up until Conte joined two years ago–on the periphery.

Sarri wasn’t in the habit of rotating much at Napoli either, so it’ll be hard to get a run of games once the head coach settles on his best team.

Although, with Willian’s future still up in the air with reported bids from Barcelona, the Nigeria international may get his chance to impress the new manager.

Victor Moses of ChelseaFor all of Conte’s presumed faults, one can’t argue that he found the best role for the Nigerian in his short spell in West London.

Moses has never been one to score tons of goals, break assists records nor create a great deal of chances for his teammates.

His strength has always been in his ability to hug the line and dribble with the ball in an attempt to cause a bit of havoc in the opponent’s rearguard, but his final ball has often been a continuing problem. The Italian manager’s decision to utilize him in that role played to his assets and somewhat masked his weaknesses, so it’ll be interesting to see how he fares in a completely alien style under Sarri.

Having been transformed from perennial loanee to key cog in the side following a renaissance under Conte, you do sense that Moses could find himself on the outside looking in at Chelsea yet again… and he certainly will be if he’s unable adapt to 'Sarriball' promptly.

is it your money... Hahahhahahahhahaha

BascoVanVeli:


My boss I no greee o. Who in an England shirt is better than Hazard, KDB or headmaster Kompany? Even their best player Harry Tap in master Kane is not better than Lukaku. Also the quality of supporting players

Which Kompany? Which Lukaku? Is Lukaku even better than Vardy?

Apart from Hazard and KDB, no other is better than Kane.

Can you please draft first eleven team comprising players from both teams? Let me see if Belgium players will dominate the team.

forgiveness:


They started the campaign. Even with their first team players, England still dey beat Belgium.

It's not as if Belgium players are far more superior to the English team.

Abi no bi d same Belgium team first eleven dey play for EPL where most of the English players don make EPL player of the season and EPL team of the season more than the Belgium players?

England have better players than Belgium?
Gerrarahia meeeen!

I wish i could talk more about this.

The DYNAMICS of parenting here are totally different from Nigeria.

In Nigeria we feel PROVISION is the core requirement to parenting in England RELATIONSHIP is. If you do not nurture, guard and encourage relationship. You will loose your children. In Nigeria they will still feel obligation to you maybe even love you, even when you only see them once a year.

It may because , there is already GOVERNMENT PROVISION for most things, so then you have to give more and invest your time in your relationship bonding and appreciation. This is another reason our marriages are failing like never before as well. In Nigeria it is normal and acceptable to be working in Abuja while your family is in Uyo. Again you are looking for PROVISION

Unfortunately, this is something many of our guys do not appreciate when living in the west, that model does not work here.


Add to that the identity crisis of being mixed race , the adoption and expectations anchored on eurocentric norms and values, how then do you expect a child to be Afro-centric when Daddy is chasing £££ 24/7 to build house in Lekki 1 , etc The crown that despair with being put into the care system as LAC, then insult to injury with a white family. Meanwhile Daddy is the US with new wife and your Mum has had her parental rights removed because of alcahol addiction.

Finally, what are the most formative years in a persons life, i would say the teenage ones. My own example highlghts the matter.

My Father, woke up one morning and said Megwuno oooh, my pikin don turn Oyibo finis, quick action i was stoned direct flyte to Warri for high school, in boarding house. Now i am Made in Warri but born in UK .

Too be honest after reading some of Sir Kog45 and Sir Komekn situation regarding dele ali, I'm just surprised why his father didn't step up when he was put in the care system...he could have taken him to the states...

One thing I know for sure is kids that are in care systems are always badly damaged emotionally and physiologically...that might be where Dele got so much grief for his parents..the formative years are usually around that 11-16years...I guess his dad was missing at that crucial time..

BascoVanVeli:



That still makes no sense at all. The father was in his life no matter how you word it. He has no tangible reason to treat that man like he is doing. Even his mother should not be treated like that. LeBron James mother was an heroin addict but he never turned his back on her. Even if she bin dey beat am, haba that boy must to go and repent. Honour thy mother and father.

Divorces are up in the country because we have lost our ways. Morality has been abolished. It has nothing to do with travelling to make money because if it was so we would have been divorcing before oyibo.

Dele will have his own children one day and abi him na football player werr go miss him pikin school play also.

I agree with you he has no right to treat his father that way but you are talking from the perspective of a kid that was raised in nigeria..in this part of the world, you need to constantly build relationship with your kids or else you might loose them..

How can you even say I am looking at it from a Nigerian perspective when I started off the quote with a reference of LeBron James? You can blame lack of relationship for a boy going into a life of crime or doing drugs but not for turning his back on his parents.
