Nigeria was better than B/Faso when we played them, even with 10 men.

Nigeria was better than Zambia when we played them, even with poor officiating.

Nigeria was better than ethiopia when we played them, with over 60% ball possession, shots on goal and goals scored,and a frustrating defensive tactics from them.


Nigerian team is not as bad as we paint them to be.


CIV defense line is made up of players aged over 30 with less pace. Nigeria will have at least a chance for penalty on sunday.

CIV 2013 team is weaker than the 2012 team.

Cote d voire struggled to beat less fancied Togo 2-1, scoring the winner in the 90+minute. Nigeria's crew should study that tape.

75% of CIV defence line that conceeded two penalties against algeria is what Nigeria would be playing with.


YES, Nigeria has some weakness, but others have theirs too. With some luck and hard work, we will win the match.

Mikel suspension is not yet confirmed, NFF and CAF are still on it.

tunapawizzy: Actually it makes no difference.....

It makes a whole lot of difference sir.

God has answered my prayer i'll only miss fegor but for mikel he should wait if he wants to get tired of waiting no problem. We wil have to watchout for Anti Climax dat day comes sunday and believ so well in my team they wont disappoint us.

1 And on that day when the Super Eagles had
gathered in the burning bush against the
Ethiopians of the eastern Desert, Keshi, the
leader of the delegates gave directions to the
people, but they listened not.
2 And Keshi knowing what awaited him at
Abuja knelt down in his heart and cried unto
the heaven saying "My God, my God, please
do not forsake me, give me only one chance."
3 As soon as he spoke those words, the Lord
heard his cry, and the Holy Spirit descended
on the burning bush in the south of Africa
where the men had gathered and said to
Moses the Son of Victor, "Moses,moses,moses" go yea forth
into the 18 yard box of the Ethiopians."
4 And Moses hearkened unto the voice of the
lord and ran into the 18 yard box of the
Ethiopians. and behold, a defender of the
Ethiopian Army brought him down and
caused a penalty.
5 And when this had happened, Keshi knew
that the lord had heard his prayers and used
Moses to cause a big scare for the Ethiopians.
So he beckoned unto Moses to open his ears
to the voice of the spirit and heed the
commandments of the lord.
6 And the spirit came unto Moses again,
saying "Moses, play ye the ball into the left
corner of the Ethiopian net. And when Moses
had done this, the Eagles recorded their first
goal in the burning bush.
7 And the spirit drove Moses into the 18 yard
box again and caused another great scare in
the defense of the Ethiopians which made
the keeper of the Ethiopian army attack him
unwisely and got a red card from the
Moroccan Judge of the southern Court.
8 When this had happened, the people could
see the hand of God on Moses. And Keshi
knowing the way of the spirit, said unto
Moses "because the lord had used you to
deliver the people of Nigeria out of the hands
of the deadly Ethiopians, you shall go forth
again and take the penalty.
9 Thus, as the lord would have it, Moses
brought down the Armies of the Ethiopians
by placing the ball beyond the reach of the
make-shift goal keeper who the Ethiopians
had brought against him.
10 And when Mikel the son of Obi saw this
things, he became jealous and said in his
heart "see this small boy, for him mind, e go
dey think say him play pass me now because
say e score 2 penalty and I miss 1. I go soon
do ham watin drogba do Torres. Then him eye
go clear."
11 And when the draws were made, it was
said that the Super eagles of Nigeria would
go to war again with the eagles of Ivory
coast, where Drogba the son of Didier was
captain
12 When Keshi the son of Stephen heard
these words, he cried unto heaven and said
"My God, My God, Why has thou forsaken me?
For he knew that the defeat would be mighty,
else the lord send a Prophet

buh do u realise dat u're a medium fool?

50calibre: Irrelevant! Even if they were to play, it wouldn't stop Ivory Coast from winning. Only thing now is that it may decide how wide the goal margin will be. If it was meant to be 2-0, it would now be 4-0

shame go catch una

Sorry guys mikel is eligible to play against CIV but ogude is not• Confirmed statement

Mikel has not really impressed many furios Nigerians who have really expected much from him. whether he is there or not will not make any difference. let him rest his ass on the bench.

I'll rather have the news as "The Super Eagles Squad has been boosted by the Absence of Mikel and Ogude" .

Mikel is Damn too slow while Ogude is too aggressive.

emex50: Mikel has not really impressed many furios Nigerians who have really expected much from him. whether he is there or not will not make any difference. let him rest his ass on the bench.

Some of you just make statements without any logic to side it, you only make follow-follow statement with emotions, and one begins to wonder if you have watched the matches.

Of the four goals Nigeria has scored so far, Mikel has 3 assists.

Goal.com says Mikel is cleared 2 play but Fegor Ogude wil miss out on suspension,dis news is late

You are a quintessential case of why Nigeria remains stagnant and underdeveloped because they can't be honest with themselves, they instead of being a realist, chose to hang on to hallucinations, promise of miracles and signs and wonders, false hope, wishful thinking.

You are a naive kid and come Sunday, you will get yet another disappointment as you are used to getting, question is will you be any wiser after Sunday?

na, there's nothing new to learn. Football has always been a game of win or lose. You win, fine, you lose, you move on. But most importantly one should always learn to stand by one's team. Come sunday, I'd be rooting for Eagles win and no matter the outcome, I really won't feel disappointed. No one wins forever and no one loses forever. I'm "wise" enough to know that.

The ban has been lifted

Babzilla:

PREACH!

THEY WILL INSULT U 4 TELLING THE TRUTH BUT PREACH ON BROTHER

Truth is a statement of a fact. I.e an event or condition that has occured. What your preacher has expressed his merely his own opinion. How can men like me from my own country be playing and I will be wishing them bad? And me too I want to progress. Even if they play badly even if they loose I will support the eagles come rain come shine especially when they are playing against bench warmers like Kalou and Eboue.

Thank you for this pragmatic analyses of both teams.Unlike some who cannot give any cogent reason to back their claims. Even if I wan fear team na cotedevoire I go dey fear.

wow,was it the same mikel who passed to emenike for the goal against BF,abi was that a pass backwards and hey he even won MOTM that day,nigerians ave serious issues and most of them dont know it
how many of these arm chair professional football analysts don rep them sec school b4?

watch them say well,he missed penalty
They shoukld just be bold enough and say Mikel! I hate you and we go accept say u hate the boy and stop coming here under useless pretence to spew what they can not back with facts and stats

9jauk: I'm so glad Mikel is not playing,God is good,all d time,his too lazy when is playing for National team shame,God bless Sunday Oliseh amazing kid.

now that it has been confirmed that mikel is playing,which God do you serve

huni_naija: Nigeria should just pack there bags and leave with her pride and dignity intact, i don't see this ending well for the super fowls... Ivory coast go use their necks as boxing match ...

Anyways #TeamElephants

You meant to say "their".Anyways,a little patriotism wouldnt hurt,You dont refer to the NIGERIAN NATIONAL TEAM(once number 5 in the world as super fowls) Its absolutely degrading,disparaging and ridiculous.Your post was quite indecorous

In my opinion, I think Nigeria has the highest number of pessimists in the whole of the represented nations at AFCON. You guys have always been pessimistic, you were pessimistic throughout our group stages against minors, yet the boys pulled through. Now, you ve resumed ur pessimism against a weak civ team. Mehn! You guys are weird. In other parts of the world where they have minor teams, the support their teams even while they fall, but you here; most of you are unpatient bunch of pessimists. REPENT, CHANGE YOUR MIND SET FOLKS

'18 AND AFTER THE MIGHTY IVORIANS WHERE DONE WHUPPING THE NOT- SO SUPER , EAGLES OF NAIJA, THERE WAS GREAT MERRIMENT IN THE CITY OF ABIDJAN AND MUCH ANGER IN THE LAND OF NAIJA?
19 AND STEPHEN SON OF KESHI CRAPPED HIS PANTS

PosCaricature :
Enemy of progress. You shall be put to shame.

Guys, THE SUPER EAGLES WILL SURPRISE MOST OF YOU BY WINNING. Stop being PESSIMISTIC. Lets pray for the team instead of the unceremonous degrade.
