Franking: I started in 1988. The referee in the final game in Maroc 88 was Jean Fidel Diramba from Gabon. The game was between Nigeria and Cameroon and ended in controversial 1-0 victory for the latter.
The referee for this game was Idrissa Sarr. Using today's offside rules, Henry Nwosu's super headed goal in that final would not have been disallowed.
Jessyjeff: I was heartbroken after that match. The Indomitable Lions of Thomas Nkono, Emmanuel Kunde, Oman Biyik, Kana Biyik, Roger Milla and the other Cameroon players who were mainly from Canon Sportive didn't allow Nigerian Eagles Fly.
Ernest Okonkwo, Richard Asiegbu and Tolu Fatoyinbo of Radio Nigeria were almost in tears.
Then, we were watching the match on TV and simultaneously listening to Radio commentary of the match.
How did you not remember the 2-goal hero for Cameroon in the final? The late Theophilus Abega who later became a politician? At that time, Canon Sportive, Tonerre Kalala and Union Duoala were the three teams that contributed players to the Cameroonian national team, especially Canon Sportive. That team of the early 80s was fire!
My first AFCON was 1984. I watched Nigeria come from 2 goals down against Egypt to win by penalties in the semi-finals, only for late Theophilus Abega and Ernest Ebongue to run riot against the Green Eagles as then known by 3-1, even after we took the lead in the 10th minute via late Muda Lawal.
We did not qualify for the 1986 tournament so I did not watch it (no interest). I have watched it from 1988 till date without interruption.
Nigerian Army Releases Video Of Their Encounter With Bandits In Southern Kaduna
Kodus to our men and women in the military, who are paying the ultimate price for peace and security in our beloved nation Nigeria.
Let their be peace....
Watch this video. Does this look like how a professional army tackles an enemy? Uncoordinated advance with the rear column firing at their advance column. Ridiculous!
You need to do one needful thing. Make sure you grow the food you and your family will eat. That is the first step. Once your family has a full stomach, you will think more clearly.
Jennyclay: With that nonsense amount kindly stay away from anything called relationship so that you won’t put someone’s daughter in abject poverty Biko!
You’re not even qualified to have a girlfriend not to even talk of a wife. You broke men will just have little change and the next thing on your evil broke mind is marriage.
And the worst thing is you broke men know how to born like rats, by the time the money isn’t enough to catheter for your wife and 7 children, frustration will set in and you will start beating your wife.
Mr man you’re broke!! Leave marriage alone!!
I hear your father was a bricklayer. Yet he married and had you. No be so?

YesDaddyTill203: LYING SOB. Lying as usual. Pandora, pathological liar Obi, can lie for Africa. We are still waiting on the lying MOFO to sue the Gazette newspaper that posted his "YES DADDY" religious war conversation. The IPOB cannibal monkey claimed that the tape was fake and that he would sue. We are still waiting for the IPOB terrorist sore loser to sue today.
You can never trust this man to tell the truth. He's incapable of telling the truth. He will lie even when he doesn't need to. That is a sign of a narcissistic personality disorder.
thugluvfem: Good day nairalanders, I'm a very old member of this forum and I've been more of a reader than a topic creator. I came home from work today and I felt very empty. A university graduate of over 23 years with a 2 year restaurant store keeper experience. The restaurant I worked at folded up after tejusoho market at Yaba was opened. Since then I've been dropping my CV at different companies to get employed. But I didn't get any call from where I submitted my CV. I decided to start a teaching job which I did for close to 8 years. I worked as a teacher in a private school located around agbado area, ogun state. But I got tired because I wasn't appreciated and more so the salary wasn't taking care of my needs. So I was introduced to a hotel job as a housekeeper. I accepted the job and since then I've been a house keeper cleaning rooms. This I have been doing for over 5years now with a 35000naira monthly pay I now look at myself with little grey hairs on my head. Thinking.... IS THIS WHAT I WAS MADE FOR? IS THIS WHY I SCHOOLED FOR 4YEARS.
Im just so bitter. Even the hotel where I work, the store keeper position where I have an experience is being manned by a secondary school cert holder.
God please when will I get there. I'm writing this because I know there are good hearts in this forum. Please help me get a job. I have a 2 year old kid and my wife is pregnant. Please help me.
Go to Youtube and see how teachers like you are commanding millions of followers and monetizing the traffic.
Those in the middle are struggling for air. Either they have to japa to stay afloat or they resort to setting up multiple streams of income to prevent being sent down to the level of the have-nots.
All these idiotic Nairaland ethnic and religious bigots should start learning.
fineboynl: If any family is compelling you to spend the money you do not have unnecessary for a marriage ceremony. And they tell you marriage is just for once just borrow to spend it once and for all do not obliged because it's a scam.
There is nothing like once and for all in any marriage, and for a family who wanted the ceremony as they so desired yet not making the provision from their pocket but compelling you to do so that's it's just once and for all.
I can assure you that It won't be long before you start noticing it's nothing but a scam. Marriage is a continues spending with everything attached to it and if you are not prepared it means you are not ready yet.
You will soon start shouldering that family responsibilities when your wife putting pressure on you to help her family here and there..
There are some family that when they heard about marriage thry believe you have arrived. After all na who get money de do marriage. And the bigger you make that ceremony look the more the expectations and attention you will end up drawing to yourself.
Put it in context. I think PMS sold for N26 per litre at the time and dollar was N88. I could fill my fuel tank of 70 litres at the time for N1,820. My salary was N40,000.
Don't die before your time! She can buy your 15th generation all combined. She got married recently in a very elaborated wedding, husband jilted her to go back to side chick. She is suffering from depression. You are poor, doesn't mean everyone is. Go and find out about her wealth.
She should first buy her happiness back before thinking of buying someone's 15th generation. The way some of you talk, you wonder whether you were born with half of one brain.
Please do you forsee any positive changes in the country in later years?
Look at the world. Country by country. Everything is heading south.
The battle of any society is between the haves and have-nots. There is nothing like party lines, no ethnicity, religion or whatever. The so-called "tokens" or "prayers" sent to the senators was not among party lines. It was not sent along ethnic or religious lines. It was sent only to the group of people who are part of the "haves".
Did any other Nigerian get any token to their bank accounts or prayers to their emails? You are either with the haves, or you are with the have-nots.
Sadly, majority of Nigerians do not see this and they continue to be blinded. You think all the decisions by government were done by Tinubu? He is simply an actor on the grand global stage. The players may change, but the game stays the same. You think things would be better if Peter Obi or Waziri Atiku were presidents?
Why do you think Bill Gates was in Aso Rock, and days later we hear that Dr Pate who had passed through a very rigorous interview process to become the head of GAVI, suddenly turned down the position only to emerge as a minister? Who funds and controls GAVI? Think!
Most of our people are empty. They cannot tie two and two together to make four. Nigeria is a land of predators...the classical food chain where those on top feed on those below. When you get to the bottom, those at that level now start to prey on themselves.
Here's the problem, yes there was manipulation, but make no mistake, APC still garnered millions of votes, a testament to the FACT that million of Nigerians learnt absolutely nothing from the last 8 years of misrule. I have friends, youths o, educated and all that were assertively supporting Tinubu/APC. I am sure you will certainly have such friends too. A good number of the people are damaged goods. I will keep saying it, i never expected that APC will still get even 100k votes, assuming Nigerians learnt anything at all over the last 8 years about the cancer that the APC is and represents.
Just face your affairs my guy, and strive for self-preservation. Don't bother about Nigeria or Nigerians for your sanity.
You see the bolded? I made that decision in 2014. Best decision ever. I told my wife and people that tough times were coming and that Nigeria was a hopeless case. Those who branded me a prophet of doom among them have now seen the light nearly 10 years too late.
