so because he joined a mid table french team made him the fastest growing 9ja players? so he has better profile than the likes of onyekuru,ndidi,iwobi,ebeehi etc?

forgiveness:



Nigeria is not serious yet hosted 1999 FIFA U20 world cup, 2000 Afcon and 2009 FIFA U17 world cup yet none of these so called countries have been able to do that save Egypt.


Besides, you're confused. Stick to either hosting world cup or Afcon.

Sir Terzurum5.... I can see that the title of the thread has been altered. Now it just reads "Afcon 2019".....

One question: After Afcon 2019 is done and dusted, will you again alter the thread title to Afcon 2021 or even Olympics 2020?

This thread was originally set out to cover all the events and stories and discussions surrounding our build up to Russia 2018 and Afcon 2019 so altering the thread name will only act to confuse folks the more. This thread is meant to end with Afcon 2019 no matter how big it has gotten just like how the previous thread ended with Afcon 2017 failed qualification. The threads we open are like Chronicles and archives of information that document our football stories and more and thus must be properly defined by specificity of threads created for a period.

And also, I wanna ask why you bowed to the pressure from Dad Icon4s to remove the phrase, "Dawn of a new era"... Or is it because we lost out in Russia??

Look, before the brightest Dawn is always the Dark nights... The darkness of the night is always thickest before the brightest Dawn... Our experience in Russia is a seed sown for this young team. I always said it was gonna be our BAPTISM of fire on the international stage. We have a team on the rise and more quality young talents are sprouting up in our football. Just take a look at Kalu's move for instance... You cannot deny the fact that a new dawn is coming. Even a goal.com article lists K.Nwakali as one of the young players of today's game to watch out for in Qatar 2022 (if we get there... But I know we will qualify). A new era is coming and Russia 2018 should not blind us to that fact... Maturity takes time and four years is more than enough. Afcon 2019 will show how much this team have truly grown post-Russia so please buckle up and get ready... A new era in Nigerian football is indeed close.

Fasting growing in terms of profile.

In 2016, he joined Trencin, a club in Slovakia from an academy in Nigeria.

2 years later, He is in ligue 1.

Rapid progression.

Our Girls did well today. They really impressed me.

For a long time now, we now have a solid and good Female Goalkeeper. She was rock solid in goal(She won't be bad as back up for Uzoho)hahaha...

The Girls showed something our men lacked-Courage. They didn't respect the Germans and German girls had to wait for so long and for luck to get that solitary goal.

The weakest link in this competition is the attack... Our Girls are shy of goal. The jersey no 14 girl that lead our attack wasn't mobile enough like Ighalo but she did more in pressing than the Chinese king. The attackers needs to be more decisive... They killed so many promising attack. Ajibade and Imo the biggest culprit.

With this performance I see us progressing out of the group.

Hosting logistics have always proved to be a huge challenge for any world cup host. I know the Koreans used cruise boats to accomade fans during the world. It was also done during Olympics in Sydney. As a matter of fact, Qatar's LOC are toying with the idea of having tents and using cruise boats to overcome the challenge, since they cannot meet up with the over 600K hotel rooms FIFA mandated them to provide. Mind you, this numver will increase stratospherically with the world cup expansion. We could be looking at an additional 300-400K with the expansion.

Look, world cup is no child's play. The logistics to host the event is very steep especially for an under developed like Nigeria who still depends alot on foreign aids to cater for basic needs of the country.
Nigeria will have to borrow more than $50B just to embark on a white elephant project that is to host a world cup. This number is in absence of local debt.
How many generations will it take to pay off such huge debt deficit and incurring interest? Will there still be life after the world cup? What if crude oil prize takes a hit right after the tournament? How on earth do you cussion the recession that will follow?

The next world cup host, Qatar has as much as $340B in external reserves. With that hedge funds, they can dig themselves out of any economic recession after the world cup if crude prizes prove unstable. How much do your country have in external reserves?

Honestly, I dont know why Nigerians think too much of themselves with this big time Charlie attitude of thinking we are too big, when we have nothing.
This same delusional mindset was the reason some overrated the Super Eagles before the world cup. Even dreaming of making the semi finals, they tagged those of us who were real of having deafist mindset.

chrisooblog:
egbon hosting competitions is just about having the facilities ready but having your people trained and logistics top nought. good transportation,
stable light, excellent security for the whole country not just venues, happy economically bouyant locals who would come to watch the events.

countries that done the basics have yet to host world cup is it now nigeria that is struggling to provide drinking water, electricity, schools etc that will now organize world cup? i laugh in hosting rights

daveP:
You asked when?


The answer is None!!!

I know there is a huge challenge in hosting the world but it is not impossible to host it.


Qater hotels are concentrated in Doha. It is unlike Nigeria with hotels in major cities. Besides, they are using only 8 cities unlike 12 cities used by Russia.

The reason for that is, FIFA wants to rotate the hosting ri right of the world cup among the continents hence the need to adjust with level of continents according to their situations.

However, we can't bid for the 2022 and 2026 FIFA world cup because it have been awarded already.

Therefore, we are talking about bidding for 2030 FIFA world cup which is about 12 years to come.

Now, considering the amount of money spent on infrastructures so far and the fact that we will not remain stagnant for 12 years, how can one in his right mindset think we still need to spend $50b?

Will we use $50b dollars to build hotels and stadiums, when already billions of dollars have been pumped into constructiond of 4 international airports and local airports, construction of railway line running from North to South, East to West and South to East, constructions of inter states roads, construction of mono/metro lines, construction of power plants, construction of the biggest refinery in Africa and refineries all over, construction of 3 largest gas plant in the world etcetera?

Are we building all these things just to host the world cup or encourage inflow of internal direct foreign investment to boast our economy?

Abi, we should continue to dwell with such parochial attitudes?

You're just making mouth like a typical Nigerian.
Let me give you a little breakdown. According to Obasanjo's arithmetic, $1B =1KMW of electricity. If we are to add about 10KMV to what we already generate, Nigeria may be on the road towards generating what the country needs, this will cost about $10B. This sum is in absence of operational costs like gas supply and the additional transmission lines. So you could be looking at $10+ 20B for power generation alone and maybe transmission alone!
When you add other operational logistics like security(equipping all the security outfits), accommodation (900,000 standard hotel rooms), transportation( rail, road, airport), medicals, stadium.

If you think Nigeria wont need more than $50B, you must be dreaming. Not when Germany spent $20B to host the event while it was 32 teams. This is a country whose infrastructure is about 200yrs more developed than Nigerias.

How do you get the money to fund this project without the economy crashing? That's the question.
The infrastructures you're pointing at are being done with borrowed funds while the government hopes the incurring cost could be offset by the little increase in crude oil prices.

Infact, let me break it to you. By 2025, Nigeria maybe totally out of business as a result of the breakthroughs in renewable energy in the automobile industry.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

Obasanjo left seat of power 10 years ago and he is nolonger in power. We do need to talk about those irrelevant past issues.

Currently, I am in Lagos. Light is regulated in a way that everyone knows the exact time when light will be off or on.

Have you ever seen or heard that before? No! But it is gradually happening and it will get better if the power plants projects are completed.

Note, anybody can generate light by himself now. Let us see how we exploit this option to improve the light.

However, Generator is an alternative to power light. EOD

Since the numbers of countries going to taking part in the world cup, we can host the world cup with some west African countries including Morocco. Not necessary he host it alone.

The bolded are already projects on ground. We don't need $50b to host the world cup.

Ask yourself what Germany used that money for.

Here is the thread with you as the very last person to comment on it.... "Blast from the...."

https://www.nairaland.com/2315999/super-eagles-nigeria-thread-2017/160

It is very easily accessible through Google search. The internet never forgets. These threads are well documented and anyone that search "Super Eagles" or "Super Eagles thread(s)" can access them via a simple Google search.

I get your point though. Maintaining one thread sounds cool but the team evolves from tournament to tournament and period to period. We have had this discussion before in the previous super Eagles thread.


In truth, continuously modifying the title of this thread as each tournament comes year after year can be confusing to non-vocal members viewing as guests or from the ghostmode cave.



In conclusion shaa, I understand your angle... maybe then, for the sake of just continuing... "The Super Eagles thread" tag in the thread title will be "the only constant" in the title while the period or tournament in focus can change from time to time. I can say okay, for continuity sake provided that constant changes not.






And yeah Dad, my ventures are going just fine. Really been engaged but all is going well.
