Nigeria in the quater finals

Nigeria at last scored goals at the on going African Nations Cup in Ghana. What a relief it was for every Nigerian at home and abroad.
It would have been a shame for Nigeria to be booted out of the competition without scoring a goal. The Super Eagles are not known for goal feast because the last world cup we appeared in, only one goal was scored and that was by Julius Aghaowa. That notwithstanding, we are still looking forward to plenty of goals in this tournament.
Whenever we are playing and i am busy at work, i always tuned my ear to all directions for that shout of ' a gooaal'. Not only the screaming but the throwing of 'bangout' and fireworks by Nigerans who are happy and appreciative.
The first game with Cote d' ivoire ended without a goal from us and the second game with Mali drew a barren result. Against Cote d'ivore, our boys were agitated and somehow under pressure to score that they made so many mistakes but in the second game they played better but could not score. Thank God the third time out, we scored not only once but twice. What a relief.

Nigeria Super Eagles beat Benin’s Squirrels 2-0 in Sekondi on Tuesday 29/01/2007 to book a ticket to the next round. How can a squirrel beat an eagle? That is not possible. The superlative performance of our boys has set us up for an enticing tie with hosts and west-coast rivals, Ghana, in the quarter-finals of the Nations Cup.

John Mikel Obi headed in the first goal of the day with a pass from Osaze Odemwingie in the second half. In the 86th minute, Yakubu Aiyegbeni calmly slotted in the second goal to seal the win. The Benin boys made some effort though at scoring but Austin Ejide our able goal keeper saved the day.
Nigeria had not scored a goal in the earlier games and that would have been disastrous if the third position was maintained after being rated No 1 country in Africa by FIFA.
The coaches are claiming that the pressure caused by public expectation of the team affected the players in the first two matches. I hope there are no more pressures because in this elimination stage, there should be no locomotive performance that is slow start that builds up after a while.
We need to go all out to show the world we are the best in Africa.

The Bible

The Bible

Different texts often have different definitions of same term. Very many times the definitions might be close enough to give exactly same meaning, but at times there might be significant differences; probably due to different convictions of the writers or a new revelation.

In the midst of the ever changing world and in the sea of different convictions; a book stands out with definitions and descriptions that never changes. What it says you are, is what you are. You can never get a better description of your self else where. This book is called The Holy Bible.

When a book as accurate as the Holy Bible, says an individual is profane, its worth the while to find out why the book says so.

In the book of the beginning, Genesis, chapter 25 verse 29 to 34: Jacob engaged Esau in a life changing negotiation. One party with a clear understanding of what he wanted out of life and the other completely void of understanding of life and what he wanted to make out of it. The terms and conditions of the deal were clear and simple. Jacob placed an incredible price on a plate of food and a man who was a servant of his stomach was ready to trade his right in life for it. Esau was indeed a profane person.

Some choices may not be as exactly as clear as Esau’s, nevertheless they determine our worth and where we are heading to.

If the holy book is to x-ray you today what will it say about you and your choices?

The Holy Bible is our standard, a regulator. It guides us. So that when we eventually breast the tape of life we will not be ashamed to meet Him in glory.

Make use of the Bible while you are at this side of life it will no longer be useful at the other side nevertheless it determines the name of your other side; heaven or hell. Chose heaven
