No no no no no!

Football stardom is all about destiny. Do you know that Christiano RONALDO still relate to his childhood friend-Albert? Such that Cristiano once admits that he owes his lucky break to one of his closest friends,Albert Fantrau. “I have to thank my friend Albert for my success. We played together for a youth club" .

I believe you wouldn't be wondering why NIGERIA or it Players hasn't been so dominant in world Football despite being undisputed at the U 17 level since they have not been lacking in fitness and Tacticality drills from their coaches all along their footballing career

Modified

Left for me, I would even say Neymar is overrated as a football player frankly speaking.

He is not a fit footballer for he is injury prone.

His Natural talent is the only thing that has worked well for him so far in lieu of his predicament

I have my belief of gift and hard work. Cristiano Ronald's friend, I doubt can put in the amount of work CR7 does.

Players can still flop but an exposed player with lots of quality like Ravel Morrison, Jean Carlos Chera flop because they lack the drive to work hard and get carried away by their hypes.

There is no way that Ronaldo's friend works as hard as Ronaldo, he won't be close to a top player. However, he could not meet up in some way and fell by the way side.

Mujtahida:

I think you should also factor something about the men of the previous generation
They engaged in so much physical exertion from childhood through to adulthood in farming, hunting, swimming, walking long distances such that it gave them fitness and ruggedity. They did not need to gym. When I was a child my dad and so many men I saw were so well built that if it were today you'd think they visit the gym regularly yet I do not recall seeing any go to the gym.

In today's game, it will not fly. To be among the top players, you need to stay constantly fit. Working out every day to stay ahead of the game. Even if you went through hardship growing up and naturally built.

According to Belgian football journalist Peter Vandenbempt, Heracles Almelo goal machine Cyriel Dessers wants to represent the Nigeria National Team rather than his country of birth, Belgium.

It is thought that Belgium manager Roberto Martinez is happy with his attacking options with the likes of Romelu Lukaku (Inter), Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea), Divock Origi (Liverpool) and Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace) competing for spots.

Regarding the chances of Dessers wearing a Nigeria shirt, Vandenbempt noted that there is also intense competition for places in the Super Eagles squad.

In quotes carried by Voetbalnieuws making reference to Extra Time, Vandenbempt said : ''He is very happy in the Netherlands and said that he might continue to live there.

''It is also interesting that he is a Belgian Nigerian. He could therefore play for the national team of Nigeria. That is his distant dream, but the competition is reasonable big''.

Dessers has become one of the hottest properties in the Netherlands, scoring 61 goals and producing 25 assists in the last three years for his clubs.

Vandenbempt added : ''He is still only 24 and a real striker. I called a Dutch colleague and he says that Dessers is really phenomenal. He has not only developed himself as a goal scorer, but also as a football player''.

Leuven-born Dessers trained with Belgium's U21 national team in March 2015 but failed to make his international debut in an U21 Euro qualifier against Moldova.

Rohr please give this guy a chance.

people do this everyday, EVERY DAY.

I knew a woman that made these trips every weekend from Abuja to Lagos and back, I knew her five years and only once, did she come back with tales of a robbery.

If someone is visiting for tourism, what is the likelihood of traveling interstate?

This year, tens or even hundreds of American tourists died mysteriously after visiting the Dominican Republic, are people not going there? Do tourists not visit Mexico and Colombia with their drug cartel issues? What is so bad about Nigeria that tourists cannot come here?

Most tourists are usually domiciled in one state, and most times, within an area. If you were to visit Nigeria and ended up in Obudu, Yankari, Olumo rock or Ikogosi Warm Springs, what is the likelihood of encountering any dangers?

In Kenya, over the last five years, Al-Shabbab have orchestrated multiple shootings in malls, have you heard of such an occurrence in any Nigerian mall? Are people not visiting Kenya still?

Every end of the year, Nigeria is buzzing with activities and concerts, when last have you heard something fatal occurring in any of these concerts? I mean, as fatal as the shootings that have happened in USA concert grounds over the last few years?

I don't know what you think you know of Nigeria, but the insecurity tales barely reach the tourism industry.

For those of you guys who drive.

Are you guys comfortable driving from city to city late at Night. I gave the example of driving from Lagos to Benin and leaving at 7pm plus.

I don't think the feminist view of Safarigirl is all-inclusive. Then l will share my personal experience.

Later someone tell me Osimhen is not better than Abraham. Osimhen would have easily laid that pass for pulisic to score. Tammy is only a better goal scorer not a better striker. Even the goal scoring is debatable.

what exactly does this mean and where is the feminism in that view? Have you reached the stage where you are bereft of proper reasoning?

Is a tourist likely to drive from Lagos to Benin? No.

Mujtahida just look at the character you are advocating for undecided

PS: You don't count as a tourist, your personal experience is moot.

you sabi something, even me dey try use am once in a while for here, works better when defender get momentarily looseguard... I'm Always elated, whenever I successfully manouver the ball...

When the defender is behind you, and you can feel him

1- Just rest your body or preferably, I use my hands and push d defender backward a bit(to generate small space)
2-then act like you was gonna pass to a teammate(if the defender follows your movement)

3- then make a "sharp cut"( inward) that little space is your escape...
Abeg no be say I dey feel myself, but it works sometimes... Not all times..Works better when defender is tired, or sleeping...

I'll teach you a better one.

Receive the ball to feet in or just outside the 18 with the defender behind you.

Don't turn but push backwards defender will resist and get tight as he's pushing back at you to gain traction defenders legs will be wide open.

In one move release pressure with back to the defender then nutmeg him,with a side back heel.

Run straight your now one on one with the goalkeeper score. Itsaaa goal !!!

I really don't know what Mou has done to that young man who was at a point on a decline. Dele just seem to keep scoring and with class too. His goal today was the stuff of class upon class. Genius.

The term feminist isn't in reference to feminism as an ideology.

But the female view with regards to driving on the highways of Nigeria. Female will drive in the city but rarely on the highway.

As a consequence the male view and or experience is DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT from the female one in Nigeria. .

I have noticed that you hardly ever see females driving on our highways at any time. I stand to be corrected. If at all its very rare.

Consequently, your experiential view will not be the general view.

It's not about tourists it's about the general practice of driving late at night in Nigeria considered to be way too dangerous.

As opposed to most countries in Africa.

My question remains, l reiterate.

Is it considered normal and safe practice to drive from one city to another on our Nigerian highways late at night please


Finally, when are you going to stop abusive language and unnecessary contention. This is very light hearted matter that you have brought abuse into and insult into. But why ❓ It makes no sense what's the problem.
