@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba Nigerians are familiar with Asian countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. So it’s not accurate to suggest people only think of a few East Asian countries. Narrowing ‘Asia’ down to just three countries after the fact is shifting the goalpost.

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba You can't cherrypick Asian countries to suit a narrative. What people are familiar with doesn’t redefine geography. ‘Asia’ still includes countries like Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Jordan. If the intention was only a subset, then it should be stated that way rather than assumed

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba And obesity is already a major and growing issue across the Asia-Pacific, so the generalization doesn’t hold.

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba Also, rice consumption alone doesn’t explain obesity patterns, there are countries with high rice intake and rising obesity rates. So that link isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. This is not about being pedantic, it's addressing over-generalising statement.

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba If the OP meant only Japan, China, and Korea, then he should have said East Asia, not "Asians generally". That's over-generalising, bcause Asia includes regions with high and rising obesity rates too.

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba “If ‘Asians generally are hardly fat’ were accurate, then we wouldn’t see Asian countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan Saudi Arabia etc.ranking high in obesity globally. That’s why ‘Asia’ is too broad a category to generalise. That's my point.

@delefaz @Osassami @omaakatugba You're right about clarity, again intelligence isn't just numbers &science, Inference from context also is Pendantics aside ".... Asians generally are hardly fat. They eat a lot of rice." Is not disproved by the data you quoted, they are at very bottom globally despite income!

@dixtopian @Osassami @omaakatugba He clearly wrote "Asians generally". How do you confine what was generalised. If the scope has to keep shrinking to make the statement true, then the statement wasn’t true to begin with.

@delefaz @Osassami @omaakatugba Surely! The logical conclusion given what is being discussed should be to confine your observations to Asian countries where Rice is a staple food. Conversations require a little mental effort.

@KwaoBuabeng @Osassami @omaakatugba If it’s down to insults, then there’s no real discussion left. I’ve made my point.

@KwaoBuabeng @Osassami @omaakatugba Haba, he clearly wrote Japanese and "Asians". So Middle and South East Asia are no longer part of Asia? Or is there an issue with your eyes?

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba Asia is not limited to Japanese, Chinese and Koreans. Those in the middle east, and Asia-pacific are also core Asians. There are ongoing discourse on the obesity issue in the region. Take a peep here: japscjournal.com/articles/obesi…

@delefaz @Osassami @omaakatugba No I don't But just like you I know the inference is for "Japanese, Chinese and Koreans" that we have visual reference of based on foreign media we consume and those in Africa. It's not that hard to understand

@KwaoBuabeng @McPayne19 @omaakatugba So middle east isn't part of Asia? He clearly said Japanese and "Asians".

@delefaz @McPayne19 @omaakatugba Clearly they are talking about east Asians. If people want to specify middle east they would say that

@lumide0b @Osassami @omaakatugba You mean countries in the Asian continent is not in the statistics presented? You think Asians are just Japanese?

@delefaz @Osassami @omaakatugba Your arguing for arguing sake, the specific population In the tweet you're responding to is not in statistics you're presenting. If You want to use data to counter common perceptions that's not how to do it

@SqlguyML @omaakatugba Check here data.worldobesity.org/rankings/?age=…

@delefaz @omaakatugba Would like to see this stat in comparison to the west and Africa of course.

@Osassami @omaakatugba Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are a subsection of the Asian continent, their statistics doesn't speak for the entire Asian continent. Take a quick peek through this site data.worldobesity.org/rankings/?age=…. Every country has some level of obesity.

@delefaz @omaakatugba We all know he’s referring to Japanese, Chinese and Koreans. They are rarely fat

@McPayne19 @omaakatugba Yes, that's for a subsection of the Asians that he said are "hardly" fat. Middle East are also part of Asia and a quick peek through data.worldobesity.org/rankings/?age=… shows that they have significant percentage of obesity.

@delefaz @omaakatugba This stat is for seasia. Now do for world general population

@BankyGee_ Is Hannah Hampton a cricket player or Catallina coll a basketball player? Nnadozie is good but those aforementioned are better than her.

In the female footballing world, I don't believe there's any goalkeeper that's better than Chiamaka Nnadozie. Yes, there's none. I've watched her in two World Cups, like two WAFCONs, at the Olympics and in both Paris FC and currently at Brighton. She outperforms every other goalkeeper in most of the competitions she finds herself. She is currently the highest rated goalkeeper in the Barclay's Women Super League with a @FotMob average rating of 7.33 and she just joined this season. She is the goalkeeper to win you trophies, which she proved at her former club, Paris FC, winning them their first ever Coupe de France Feminine, saving two penalties in the shootout after holding PSG to a 0–0 draw in regulation time. Her reflexes are very sharp for a female goalkeeper, her awareness and her confidence level are just world-class and the Super Falcons are lucky to have such a great goalkeeper, she's the greatest female Nigerian goalkeeper in my books, the best in Africa (confirmed thrice at the CAF Awards) and the ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE WORLD!

@Chanch0o @Odd_Legal @ufcontnt Weight disadvantage? They are both 186.

@Odd_Legal @ufcontnt Honestly Israel lacks IQ on the ground… you know there’s an obvious weight disadvantage and you want to give you back to a wrestler? not smart at all. Izzy is great but seeing him on the ground just pisses me off

@Footballtweet But Ronaldo Nazario wore the name " Ronaldinho" on his jersey with number 18 during the Olympics games in Atlanta 96.

🗣️🇧🇷 Ronaldinho: “I was nicknamed ‘Ronaldinho’ because of Ronaldo Nazário… My nickname was born the first time I was called up to the Brazil national team. Ronaldo was already in that squad, so since I was the youngest, they had to call me ‘Ronaldinho’, “little Ronaldo”. It’s that simple. From then on, the name stayed with me forever. The name came naturally. It wasn’t something I chose — it just happened.”

@CAFwomen So @CAFwomen, @CAF_Online, wow, you actually saw Esther’s G/A compilations? I thought your vision only works when it’s time to conveniently “not notice” obvious performances while picking that Top 3 women African Footballer. Truly remarkable how selective clarity can be. 👍

Switch the shin guards all you want. The vision stays the same. Okoronkwo finds you. 🎯
