I think keshi need to be sacked this morning by the NFF. Imagine 95% of the super eagles players are igbos. No wonder we are not doing well at AFCON,13.

I thought your madness have been cured only for you to prove me wrong. Do we have federal character in football? Rise above ethnic hatred and bigotry.

Players like Igiebor, Echiejile, Ideye, Musa, Ogude and some other players are not Igbos. This is one of the few times when we have more non-Igbos in the team.

Uwa Echiejile is Igbo from Igbo speaking part of Edo state called Ekpon. Ekpon and Igbanke are Igbo speaking and have been clamouring to join us in Anioma state if created.
But whatever the case, if football, the best are chosen not based on ethnicity. Most of the dropped players are Igbo yet Igbo people are not complaining.Even Bright Dike who shone so well during the qualifiers is Igbo yet no complaints. Get a life poster because you have none.

name them
I know the igbos are more in number but can not be 95%. There is nothing wrong if it is based on merit. How come even in the millitary where there is federal character hausa/fulani still dominate that sector. This is one of the few reasons why biafran war was fought. Also boko haram. With merit igbos will excel above others.

If Uwa Echiejile is Edo, then we have at least 4 players from Edo in the team.
Victor Moses, Nosa igiebor, Ahmed Musa and now Uwa Echiejile. Nice one Steven Keshi

The OP's post infuriates me but since it's breaking no forum rules and it aims to discuss/determine the origin and ethnicity of the Super Eagles players, I'll let it stay.

I'm watching it closely though. . . .
