Are Nigeria Invincible At Home?
An amazing stat: Nigeria has not lost a World Cup qualifier at home for 32 years. 
Is there another African country with a home record that impressive?

It will be replaced by "The number which we do not speak of"
Of course every year it will be shifted up 1.
If someone were to accidentally slip up and mention 32......people will just start having fits and seizures.
Even when the midgets qualified..they had to say, they will be participating at the World Cup, alongside 31 other teams.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Ghana need to man up and win next ANC to curtail this travesty.

The Harambe stars almost pulled it off.
Of course it doesn't help that visitors wait for hours at the airport, train on dusty primary schools, are denied landing rights until game day, not to mention the rare flights to Calabar.

1981. Green Eagles vs Algeria in Lagos. Last WCQ round (first leg of the 2 leg affair to pick the Espana'82 ticket). Hopes were high for the eagles given they'd crushed the same Algeria 3-0 just twelve months earlier in the finals of the 1980 afcon. .. Alas, football ain't maths as we got our arses handed to us on a platter 0-2 in front of Lagos faithfuls. The scapegoat in chief on that day was our goalie Best Ogedemgbe. 32yrs ago? Damn, time does fly.wiseone wrote:An amazing stat: Nigeria has not lost a World Cup qualifier at home for 32 years.

Re: Are Nigeria Invincible At Home?
Only one competitive defeat at home in that time span (on penalties).
Lagos, Kano, PH, Abuja, Calabar... Doesn't matter. The whole Naija is a fortress.
RB.

Technically even that game offically was recorded as a draw. Cameroon just won the tie breaker which in this case was the PK shootout.Riversboy wrote:Only one competitive defeat at home in that time span (on penalties).

But is this also why Kenya consistently fails to beat Nigeria in Nairobi? Is it because they waited for hours at the Nairobi airport, trained on dusty Nairobi school fields, were denied Nairobi landing rights until game day, not to mention rare flights to Nairobi?

Don't believe anything until it has been officially denied.
If you are controversial, you will lose some votes. If you are courageous, you will lose the election.
