Nigeria in good hands............

[mlbash]

A little after celebrating his 100 days in office, President Yar'adua has begin recording success by winning the undre 17 world cup, the like Mr Otta couldn't deliver in 8 solid years! this makes me wonder if afterall Nigeria was not in good hands all those years!

[bakangizo]

Doesn't take lack of success in football to tell you we weren't in good hands during Ubanshegu's reign. That said, winning a football trophy does not predict a bright future in the life of a nation, either.

But Why? Bakan Gizo!!, it's an achievement .........................

[bakangizo]

Its an achievement quite okay. But how does that translate to good governance. Or how did a football trophy mean Nigeria would prosper economically, socially etc?

[Dan-Borno]

I have never been a foot ball fan (sorry).  However,
what I understand from Bash's statement is that, its
normal with us human beings.  A typical example is
of a newly born baby boy, and immediately after his
birth, the father bought a car, built a house and is
preparing for the years pilgrimage.  We say, yaron
yazo da arziki.  So also with the football success, we
deem its a sign that this government is a government
with achievement.

We only relate the unrelated to support a good govt.

[bakangizo]

Tha'ts the issue, isn't it? Camfi. Superstition. I'm not the camfi type, and I refuse to make the connection btw a football trophy and economic progress. We won the first U-17 during Buhari in 1985. Was it a good omen for the govt? I don't think so, cos the govt was overthrown shortly afterward.

[Bajoga]

You are right BGZ.

But mu cigaba da rokon Allah ya tabbatar/zaba mana abinda yafi alkairi a koda yaushe, i think that was the only way.
