he should have said he was not interested in Nigeria, most people seem not to understand why people are pained.

It is not the loss, it is the hope before the loss. It's similar to what Arsenal does every year, they raise your hopes only to crash it just when you're getting comfortable.

It's a sly thing to do

safarigirl:
look them, but make the whole world no know say you dey look them.

If the world wasn't so phucked up, many behaviors would not have been seen as normal.

edi287:

The fact that there was a possibility makes it a loss. No one is crying over Messi not being nigerian.

Mujtahida:

See ehn it's painful cos we've lost one whether by hope or in actuality but I tell you that when you get to talk to him one on one you will change your opinion on alot of things. There's so much undercurrent to these kinds of things.

If we will be sincere we are second option to these guys. Many of them look at the wind to see the direction it's blowing before making up their minds. As long as they fancy their chances with England, they put us in second Base without actually coming out point blank to reject us(although some do reject us point-blank like lookman and Solanke if I remember correctly) but when they look, see say England no sure, they open up towards us. That's why it pains me when we ignore those who declare for us voluntarily and we don't so much as send even a word of appreciation to them, talk less of invitation. Dessers got no invitation for even training. It's that Deji that will drive me mad if we lose him and he turns out to be as good as Alaba.

Joebie:
madam.. at job interviews, I tell the recruiter I'm considering other offers. There is nothing to lie about that. Unlike Naija. it is a win-win situation if I take their offer. That's the real world, and that's no sin in that. If we must go religious, there is a reason why God gave us the ability to make choices.

safarigirl:
this your post no get direction.

Anthony Joshua never represented us, but Nigerians still support him despite that. He is a loss, but one we have been able to live with because he dealt with everything in the right way.

Tammy will never get that kind of love from Nigerians. He won't even get the type Dele has after driving a sword through the hearts of millions.

Anybody defending that shady behavior needs to analyse it with proper glasses

ChrisKels:


E get, my first paragraph na total sarcasm, I dey diss team English born wey dey take English raised kids ahead of our local products.

D negative points there towards Iheanacho and Co are d kinda awkward things they say about the Nachos, and Osimhens of this world just to make the Onomahs, Tammy's look better. Read between the lines

safarigirl:
ehn, the recruiter is 180 million people. Abi?

Did Tammy say he was considering other options? Even Dominic said that, Onuoha said that.

Tammy went about snapping pictures.

safarigirl:
I would never want to talk to someone like that.

Never

Mujtahida:

Hahahaha hahahaha. For why? So long as you want to judge him, reach conclusions on his matter then talk is necessary. We've all had that experience where you just see someone and form negative impressions and then one day maybe by accident you talk to the person and you are like hmmmmm, guy is quite cool, not what I thought'.

safarigirl:
yes. Either Nigeria, or I would have chosen neither party

I have been in such a situation numerous times, and I will tell you now, I would rather choose neither party than choose one party at the detriment of the other.


I did something like that recently and till today, my relationship with some of the parties has waned because of my choice, but I don't feel bad for making that decision, I have a very strong conscience.

You will most likely doubt me, but I have more integrity than some of these diasporans obviously

ChrisKels:


U must be insane to have said that. how could u be so naive? Yes he was born and brought up in England but the truth remains he is Nigerian because he can even shoki more than u and our NFF neglected him over a little ass out there in the name of Osimhen who has practically done nothing to deserve an invite at least for acclimatization as our own product. Niggy u suck for saying that, BTW, who are our own products? Osimhen? Iheanacho? Ndidi? Lol u r funny I must tell u. Why should we not go begging and reaping from where we didn't so when those guys are part of what we can present as our best products? The less said about the recent invite of...the better. Why shouldn't we beg them, besides they have Nigerian names and I bet they rep Naija even more than U.

Some Nigerians be like Dat man wey dey always say Mr Emeka's daughters dey fine why my own dem dey resemble...

Bros If you want good-looking children, be good-looking urself, also strive to av 80% what it takes to attract a good looking wife.

Lol this ain't my thought just trynna sound like some people.

Dude what u said is the hard truth and some guys gotta deal with it.

Tell me how good u would feel if Alampasu won a starting place at Feirense and suddenly ditches Eagles for Togo after all the investments from the NFF, abi him no be Togolese enough as Onomah, Tammy, Alli dem be Nigerians?

I smh when I read "Nwakali shouldn't av bn invited when we have Onomah doing so well for Aston Villa" because the Norwegian league bla bla. To those guys yarning dust wey no be prejudice as una dey use una English boys as una reason, Chriskels says ntorrrr!!!

tbaba1234:
It is a dilemma for kids born abroad. They have 2 identities.

As much as possible, i want to raise my kids with a stronger Nigerian identity. If any of them play sports, i would love them to play for Nigeria rather than America but the Nigerian system makes things difficult. Otigba refused an invitation from Hungary in favor of Nigeria, he was never invited even when he was in a decent league. We preferred Egwuekwe who was not as good...

Look at Gloria Alozie who ditched Nigeria after winning athletics medals. We just frustrate people who genuinely have the passion to serve Nigeria.

Joebie:
you call that a question of integrity?.. you have no idea what it has to be in that situation.
To turn down a country that has given u all the support to grow for another country that has done nothing for you is actually betrayal. Let's see if from the other perspective for once. It's actually a thing of integrity for them to turn down Nigeria. Saying it as it really is.

tbaba1234:
Ovie Ejaria is Nigerian through and through... He constantly follows NFF activities online. He is one that should be capped soon before he becomes hot cake and we get into a battle with England..

Joebie:
I got good news. real good news

Mujtahida:

Exactly to declare for Nigeria is the betrayal oo. Don't you guys see this thing we do as some sneaky poaching stunts? That's why goldfish80 says let's develop our own cos it looks like we want to reap where we have not sown. But then I don't know the day we will develop our own ooo. That's like waiting for Godot.

TheGoodJoe:


Pulease.

Jordan Ibe is just another Queen hips watcher whose heart got broken. We already got Onyekuru.

Joebie:
lol how na?

play with people's emotion in his personal life decision? You think he wasn't considering Nigeria at all. If I get two job offers, I go look both of them well oh, before I choose. How many girls today consider ONLY one guy at a time? Such is life o.

Na the people when dey put all their emotion I go blame then?

I'm the one that suppose to be crying more than most of you. But i've always said that these are personal/professional decisions and we have to respect their decision last last.

goldfish80:


I caught your joke

I bet you Chris Brown can Shoki more than any average Street thug in Ajegunle. I guess that's the Nigerian blood in him.

Africans and over entitlement are like 5 and 6. Imagine trying to claim a kid whose adopted parents have invested so much over the years.

I mean, it's like seeing a girl through school, shouldering all her responsibilities such as tuition, clothing, feeding with the promise of marriage, only to be ditched by the same girl 5mins to wedding just because her village boyfriend showed up.
It would have been rude of Tammy to ditch England just like that.

Mujtahida:

Hahahaha hahahaha. That's what I noticed oo. Seems na them e dey pain pass us that had hopes of him playing. I thought they've cancelled him out of their minds. Turns out that even Jotey wanted him to play for us. On the other hand, I guess some are hurt not because he chose England over Nigeria, but because of 'the slap on our face.' But then was there really a slap on our face?

kingphilip:
i feel it accelerated it too

but i still feel he might not be as strong-willed as Iwobi who resisted the overtures or as daring as Aina who came to the Super Eagles camp in London for Rohr to have a look in

if he hadn't made that appearance i'm sure we would not have gone hook line and sinker for him

Using insane is too harsh and should not be repeated. Time will tell but my heart is still with Osimhen and I believe Osimhen is a better talent. Tammy Abraham would not start in Wolfsburg ahead of Mario Gomez.

Osimhen is ours. Tammy wants the Queen. Let him have the Queen. Finito.
