Adriano
Henry
Lampard
Gerrald
Ibrahimovic
Neymar Jr

Too many jokers here. Adriano?!

Exc2000:



yet ronaldo delima won 3 world best, and 2 Ballon D'or

How in earth can you compare De Lima with 15 world cup goals, including in final, with Ibra who could not even qualify his country for WC with his goals?

Exc2000:
Zlatan Ibrahimozic he deserves a ballon d'or dude is fantastic with crazy attitude and ego to match his talent

He scores crazy goals. Crazy goals are for Puskas award, which he won.

It is not just goals that win you world best.

Iniesta

Kaka was not better than Iniesta. If there was no CR7 and Messi in the era of Iniesta, he would have won it.

Eziokwugbaoto:
Maybe I missed them pls do well to share some of it here. And pls also add any from the ss/se.

How many cases have been reported in the SE/SS and how many deaths?

OgbeniOptional:
My believe is that the government is not saying the truth, Every death is now of corona virus. What we need to do is to understand and learn how to manage the virus. Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria sef dey kill but we are managing them. If u notice any symptoms, don't wait till it get worse. Treat as urgent.

My grandpa who was sick since last year November/December died 3 weeks ago and had most of the symptoms of the coronavirus. If to say Na hospital he die, NCDC for say na Corona kill him. I'm not saying the virus is not real but I don't believe that the Coronavirus is responsible for all the deaths we r having.

Make NCDC offer me the test for free, I will reject and choose to die if it leads to that, our hospitals are fond of transferring sickness wey person no get before with their carelessness and lack of professionalism when it comes to conducting test. Look at HIV test for example, I was tested positive only to find out na another person result they give me, I lost my faith in our health system since that day. same with blood test, first one said I be AS when I gained ission to UNi, I lost the result card, went for another recently and came out as AA. Same 0+. I have little faith in our health system.

Every death is now attributed to corona and less than 150 people have been reported as died from corona, are you saying only 150 people have died in Nigerian hospitals in the last 2 months?

By the way, I also tested for coronavirus and was negative despite also treating malaria at the time. That tells coronavirus test will is not automatically positive just because you have malaria.

SocialJustice:
Abeg shut up! Are the over 4000 infected people being treated in mechanic workshop?

This is from Doyin Okupe, a known anti-Buharist

At this is from someone in your “camp”

Eziokwugbaoto:
I'm not talking about adding the picture of the dead to the column where 'deaths' is written. What harm would it do anybody if our govt. add pictures of the burial of the victims, to some of this half-baked info they are dishing out to us. We've seen pictures of New York burying their dead in stacks of three coffins per grave. Even in other saner climes we've seen pictures and videos of the burials or of those receiving threatment in their health facilities. Why can't our journalists and relevant bodies do same here. Our people listen to instructions more when they've seen pictures or videos of victims. Apart from Abba Kyari's video which other video of covid-19 burial have we seen or pictures of cases been treated in the said isolation centres. Our journalism and information dissemination na wack. Period!

So all those videos and pictures of burials in Kano, Katsina and Borno do not count?

Eziokwugbaoto:
No pictures?? Even if na doctored. Nigeria and lack of proper dissemination of detailed information are coed twins. Don't blame me if I don't believe this news 'cos it's possible that there was no death or if there is, it was not as a result of covid-19 or the deaths is even more than 1 as reported.

Which country’s government ever added picture to the coronavirus death reports?

You are confusing media interviews of families of dead people and social media reports with government reports. We have enough of that in Nigeria too.

This is about the 6th commissioner death I have read in the news in recent times (from Jigawa to Sokoto to Kwara to Oyo).

andrewtosin:
the problem is most countries were not proactive... They didn't think it would end this way. If they had, most likely they would have shut the border earlier

True.

Most countries underrated it and were hesitant to shut down their borders (for fear of economic consequences) until it got out of hands.

NaijaRoyalty:
so this is how Hushpuppi will be repatriated back to Nigeria

uncle Coro , do and come and be going abeg .

This illiterate thinks Dubai is in Saudi Arabia.

johnjay4u2u:
Wow
11000, that pretty much. With no positive economic advantage to Nigeria.

This virus issue started in January worldwide yet some people decided to travel for lesser hajj.
Na wa for us.

Na to camp them for Abuja Stadium.

I hope the politicians or people from influential families among them won't be released to their homes behind the door?

We dey beg you. Stay isolated. Stay safe.

As at January, it was not yet declared a pandemic. Just pockets of cases here and there except in China, Italy and Iran.

As at end of February, there were less than 3 cases in Nigeria, does that mean people should not come to Nigeria as at that time?

Many countries were still open till middle of March. I traveled to the UK middle of March and did not get infected with coronavirus.

The matter escalated towards the end of March.

Latest stage

Food is almost ready

jaeyking:


I thought I was the only one who noticed it that's like a 0.22 goal ratio for a centre forward ���

He played as sub for almost his entire career.

OlawaleBammie:
i wanted to type aboutrika and not zidan, sorry

To the argument, Oga na reality be dat jare, sc Fabregas started 2006 champions league final against Barcelona doesnt make jim better than ronaldinho and edmilson of barca den.

Aboutreika was not better than Kanu.

Gabkosh:
Kanu was a great player, slayer of Chelsea. But to me, Auba best him.

No doubt Auba is a better player. I think he didn’t choose Auba because he didn’t get to see much of him and because Arsenal’s team of Auba era is rubbish compared to Arsenal’s team of Kanu era.

OlawaleBammie:


Oga make we stop dis mediocrity and amateurism jare

kanu was good yes, but to me not a veteran in of architecture and know-how in front of goals

Kanu is just a black version of Diego milito and a taller version of Ji Sung Park

Not in rhe mould of..

Ronaldinho
Zidane
Zidan
Eto
Drogba
Ronaldo
Messi
Inzaghi
Shevchenko
Puskas
genco
Klose
Totti
Del Piero
Henry
Lewy
Tim Cahil. Et al


to me these are the Veterans, i mean the legends


Kanu and d rest of Nigerian players who are considered legends back here are literally Icons of the games and not...VETERANS.

Kanu was good.

You can’t be an average player and make that Ajax team of 1995/96, playing with the likes of Kluivert, Seedorf, Edgar Davies, De Boer twins, Overmars, etc, playing in two UCL finals, starting one.

And are you joking to say he was not in the class of Zidan and Tim Cahill?

EatforHealth:
I that Kanu hattrick against Chelsea from two goals down, and the commentator’s statement

Kan U believe it!!!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eJlBsw_QcM

This game won him African Footballer of the Year 1999

oyeb15:
Best that you choose to rest in impotant matches.No be Winger countryman Henry make Wenger forget Kanu for bench.Wenger waste d dude cos of Henry .Wenger even trust Wiltord than Kanu. Its just dat d dude is a calm and patient guy unlike Adebayor.

I think Wenger need Nigeria coaching job that's why he's hallucinating. Soon, he will say Bolton + Jay Jay Okacha is d most difficult team he ever played against and Mikel d best player he never buy.

Nigerians have started again.

Even Kanu wont tell you he was better than Henry.

Tranquility4u:
Kanu is arguably the best striker ever played for Nigeria

Yekinni had that honour.

Kanu wasn’t really a striker.

Anything between 26-29

In that age bracket, you enjoy the benefit of full adulthood and benefit of young age together. You can be pardoned for your errors as someone still learning life lessons. Any achievement you make at such age is usually well respected: "and he is just in his twenties o".

I the day I clocked 30, I was inside my room at a hotel in Ghana, and facing the bed, I was thinking "now you're a full adult - you can no longer use youthful exuberance as excuse for some things".

I found that Donald Duke comment funny though [left][/left]

I’m that kind of person too. But I will just switch off the topic rather than embarrass you.

Bundle of Skills that time

isalegan2:
Covid-19, Bloody Hell!

Astagfirullahi, I know its the middle of Ramadan.

I'm sorry to use the popular football swearing.

But this pandemic leaves you tongue tied. What to say that hasn't been said? Pele to all those feeling the bite in all the various ways we all are. My corner of the world is starting to ease up on lockdown and we're broaching out now to work instead of just on computer. Many of these folks (on my end) don't really want to come to the out though, but they want the kids to go back to school, and to go get their nails and hair done, and go for shopping therapy, so the big fancy malls started opening up late last week. . .

This is for all the Politics section posters (and my Politics/Culture section ol' pals) so leave it here. Please and thanks. OAM4J, Onlytruth; NduChuks, GenBuhari, Physics, Afam4eva, DonPhillips, Macof, Gatiano, Jarus! and many many more. How're you keepin' in the age of Covid19?

We've never seen anything like this; and the world may never be the same again.

Good to hear from you again. We’re trying to keep safe.

SUGARCyprian247:


Exactly, I don't opt in for lecturing too.
That's why I'm ready to raise 1.5 -2M .. To secure a job with entry level pay of least 250k

Every corner of the nation is just hard

I don’t understand the raising 1.5m-2m part

Tolutheo:


Louder sir. First class will open doors, but you need to enter by proving you can do the job.

One was complaining to me few days ago - that he had first class but isn’t getting jobs. Asked him how many job tests he had written, he listed about 3. Told him getting those test invites was what his certificate would get him, it is not the fault of the certificates if he couldn’t them.

SUGARCyprian247:


2005/2006 is far better than now boss.

Then companies visit Convocation to pick up first class graduates.

But Now, there is a risk of getting rejected as a GA even from the Dept U graduated from.

I finished with 4 points ... I know job is hard I'm even ready to purchase one if I see a legit link!!

Lecturing is not one of the jobs I was referring to pls. The guys I’m talking about earn at entry level what professors earn after 25 years of lecturing.

Then or now, I wont take up lecturing job.

That said, I agree the job market was better when we entered labour market (2008 - after NYSC).

EdiskyHarry:
Wait ooo, Zlatan scored 113 goals in 122 appearances? This guy is indeed a great player.

Even at older age 36/37, he still scored 52 goals in 56 appearances in MLS.

I think Drogba’s subsequent performance outside Ligue 1 influenced the voting.

He wasn’t very prolific in Ligue 1. At least he didn’t score as much as Ibra. But maybe because he carried Marseille to the final of UEFA (predecessor to Europa).

LikeAking:

Did he build those 3 house in lekki by working?.
If yes,what kind of job?

Yes. Although I did not say all the 3 are in Lekki.

IOC.

All the first class in my circle are doing well, except one that chose not to be materially inclined so opted to be an alfa.

From Shell to Chevron, they are there.

One of them was struggling to raise N17k school fees in our final year in 2005/2006. He now owns at least 3 houses, one in Lekki.

Let nobody deceive you that first class is a waste. Hustle for it, but make sure you can defend it.
