STANLEY OKORO replaces AKPALA for Madagascar

Published: August 29, 2010

Nigeria wonder kid Stanley Okoro hopes to get his first full cap against Madagascar next weekend. The NFF has reacted quickly by handing him a call up as a replacement for the Club Brugge player Joseph Akpala who has been ruled out of action for eight weeks.

Stanley Okoro was unveiled as an Almeria player this summer and the coach Juan Manuel Lillo has promised to alternate him between the main squad and the reserve side this season.

''Coach Eguavoen has invited Okoro in place of injured Joseph Akpala for next weekend's Nations Cup qualifier against Madagascar in Abuja," Robinson Okosun, spokesman of the NFF disclosed in a statement.

add joel chukwuma and obi nwankwo that he promoted to senior team

you guys don't get he question.
either a "ugly rich man forever" or a "handsome poor man forever" no i would marry a poor fine guy that have good future we mean forever of your life.

even if formation is changed mikel is not better than gerard,lampard or barry, even thier bench players carrick and hergraves is better than mikel. carick good passer of the ball, scores goals and his a dm, hergraves also scores goal. mikel could make their 3team though

england plays 442 mikel is not better than gerard,lampard or even baryy so i say he would not make it

discuss

in jesus name no nigerian that loves his life should protest because naija police na animal they would shoot an unharmed civilian abeg ohh football is not important than one human being life.

aloy- emeka nothing wrong with idolizing kan legend recognize legends, i remember how every nigeria footballe wanted to be like kanu in 1996 also u think is easy in a game that featured ronaldo,rivaldo,bebeto,juninho,carlos kanu was the man of the match he was very worldclass from 1886 to 2004 unfortunately like typical naija footballers they are never consistent with age or performance

thweraja10 shey u don't understand english i say go to "kickoffnigeria.com" and you would see the picture

yeah tpaih it is not only in russia that blacks are called monkey's, but russia and england are the two front runners for 2018 worldcup, clearly russia is still a racist country and they should not be allowed to host the world cup in 2018

i don't know how to put pictures on this forum, but anybody that wants to see the banana sign should go to "kickoffnigeria.com" and see it for yourself

this is a nation that plans to host the world cup in 2018, we are already in 2010 and racist stuff like this already happens there, 'no homo' if a fine boy like osaze is being called a monkey because fans were mad at him, then what should we expect in 2018 if russia is given the rights to host the world cup in 2018. would all africans that they are mad at also be called a monkey. i have already sent an email to fifa creating awareness about this nonsense hopefully russia don't win that bid

Racist Lokomotiv fans thank WBA for Osaze
Posted: 2010-08-24 07:50

Fans of Lokomotiv Moscow displayed a clearly racist banner over the weekend thanking West Bromwich Albion for taking Osaze Odemwingie off their hands.

The banner, which read 'Thanks West Brom' had a banana in the middle, suggesting that the English Premier League side had taken a monkey off their hands.

It is a banner which is sure to cause outrage in Nigeria, and reinforce feelings within the country that Russia remains a deeply racist stronghold.

Odemwingie holds dual Russian and Nigerian citizenship, but that has not prevented him from being the target of this racist abuse.

The banner has led Russian journalist Alex Tretyak to suggest that the roots of Odemwingie's lack of goals at Lokomotiv may lie deeper.


"Odemwingie already managed to score his first goal in England, hinting at the fact that his goal-scoring drought in the "Locomotiv" was connected not with him, but the problem is to look deeper," Tretyak wrote.

Russia and Engladn are two of the front runners to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

sagamite is that your opinion or facts, because i know the way nigerians make stuff up. example 'ronaldinho said that okocha taught him most of his skills' this is what nigerians made up and i taught it was true but searched the whole internet to check if ronaldinho actually said that unfortunately it was a big lie.

chidicris he did not score, but like i said even if you don't score contribute a forward move instead of sidepassing all the time, and today he played well he contributed forward we all hope that he plays more like this

ahh today mikel was brilliant if he can play like this all season, i don't think anybody would critisize him

mr money ur easily decived, this nff people have many spokes person, so don't believe this nonsense tommorow another story might come out so the best thing is to believe until siasia is the coach

medjaj no this list was drawn by eguavon, he even wanted yakubu included

chidicris abeg never ever ever in your life mention that useless statement again, i would have sound you immediately we should give John sidepass no goal indispline obi mikel the captain of nigeria. captain for playing against united and not coming to play for naija

abeg even if they don't hire siasia make dem no give eguavor the job ohh, this guy don't know any youths players i taught it was a joke when he asked for yobo and yak, but his serious he compared yak to arjen robben. ahhh there is okoro,emmanuel,azeez,ibrahim,ekpo,chukwudi instead we get danny shittu,sodje,yobo, hell who is even otekpa energy why can't they invite fidelis gatorade

this eguavor guy is scaring me, he is recalling all the rubbish player, last game it was shittu,etuhu,sam sodje, while this one he has added odiah and yobo. if we let him stay for 1 more ganme yakubu would be recalled. for the team i don't understand what his trying to do, we have 3 players playing for inter-milan, one playing for ac milan and they are not invited instead those rubbish homebase players that cannoit even win ismaily of egypt is invited.

am sorry but am not nff president. how can an nff president don't know the answer to that question. how did the person that asked the question knew the answer

the funny thing is that siasia is being paid less than 5,000 dollars at heartland, liberia rejected him, so most likely he don't even have a choice

no i think there is kanu in brazil, is just like one player called Obina his also brazilian

yeb he said 20 in the npl but he did not know the other junior numbers anyway i just found a blog on complete sport that said the whole story let me post it

emeka your a disgrace to igbo people, i swear your name should be adamu mohammed. imagine if my girl friend mother come ask sex for me, i go nyash am without condom, because i know she would not get pregnant, after nyashing her, i go chop her money too. emeka abeg change ur name to mohammed

abeg someone that owns who ask that question should say the name

abeg did anybody see that insult that the new nff president insulted himself. someone ask him how many teams they are in nigeria premier league and junior but he don't know

deb abeg shut up, although i want siasia to be coach of eagles, your clearly wrong. siasia had 5months to prepare for egypt 2009, he wasted a golden genration of youth players even the team in 2009 is better than the olympics and the 2005 squad. instead of siasia calling up players like chrisantus,oseni,udoh this fool is too arrogant he takes bribe and calls up ighalo,onhawuchi and co thats the only reason i have with siasia i hope is ego is not too big for eagles. it won't be a suprise to see isaac promise,vanzekin starting ahead of enyeama and uche
