I got good news. real good news

Mujtahida:

He was being sarcastic. You have to read carefully to get his drift.

Mujtahida:

Understand this now: of those English boys, you'd be extremely naive to think anyone of them wants you first before the Queen. It's always Queen first and if her hands doesn't show or look like showing then you next. So it's iyama to accept a woman who puts you second depending on what first guy does.

But very soon we will start seeing British born Nigerians who will declare straight for us but then again they might not be quality. But for now it's Queen first, Buhari second. Gerrit?

Joebie:
u dey talk as if u no know how we dey do.. ur papa call u to come snap picture you go refuse?
Pinnick is like his uncle. He has to give him that due respect. But Tammy makes the final decision. His dad can only advise.
Forget 180 million Nigerians that cannot unite to push for good governance. na decision of a 19 year old dey pain them? make e pain them die.

ChrisKels:


During our waec and jamb days, we were always advised against reading a passage when jumpy or tensed. And never guess what the ending of a line in a NY sentence is until uv read it completely because often times our guesses were/are wrong.

If u had read it carefully, u wudda undstud I was on d same page with Da Goldfish

TheGoodJoe:


I do not and will never want a chick who will keep me waiting for another man. Iyama.

The girl should get who she wants. Same goes to these folks. If it is the Queen they want, they can have her. There are those who want us with all their hearts.

Gerrit?

Mujtahida:

First paragraph na eba. I dey wait for soup. Second paragraph come be sand sand. I baffle.

Joebie:
I got good news. real good news

Mujtahida:

And that's what I am telling you. Nobody as in among the foreign British born players wants you first choice. Not even your Iwobi wanted you first choice but today he's in your team. Can you tell him iyama?
Unless you are talking generally including our indigenous players (and it doesn't make sense in this context) or foreign born players besides the British born ones

jihday:
you have to read it well to understand, he's only dissing someone on this thread.

Joebie:
we keep making calls that we should develop our own. na today? it's not actually an NFF problem. It's in fact a Nigerian problem. And of course NFF is ran by Nigerians.

TheGoodJoe:


You have watched Onomah, you have not watched Nwakali. So your assessment is half baked. Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


Stop making false impressions. Iwobi clearly stated he has no regrets choosing Nigeria. Simple. He is where his heart is. Finito.

I disagree with you, he actually doesn't need to watch him. He is playing in a league ranked 30 in Europe in a team that's third from bottom smack bang in the relegation zone.

If he was that good he would not be in the Norwegian league playing for a bottom club.

Do you think it's only in Nigeria that we have scouts. All the scouting teams across Europe nobody saw him. But some how the Nigerian scouting team has four eyes with X-ray vision and found him worthy more than the hundreds if not thousands of Nigerian players playing in far better teams and leagues across the World.

I know players who have left those Nordic league to come and play non- league not national Vanarama I mean non - league. That's how lowly it is considered particularly if you are not playing for the top teams in those league.

In an earlier post you said you were celebrating this call up. What's there to celebrate, the enthronement of mediocrity The circumventing of acceptable quantifiable measurement of quality standards and ability for subjective personal preference.

Once you loose objective structure you open yourself to corrupt and sharp practices. You then murder equity and fair play in cold blood in broad daylight.

Whether he does well or not is entirely irrelevant.

It's like someone bypassing JAMB didn't even take the test then gets in without the pre- requisite qualifications ( has 2 O/levels). However, the individual studies hard and graduates with a first class degree.

Therefore the end justifies the means and that's OK. to you Sorry in my book that's corruption and cheating. Particularly as all those who had far greater merit were bypassed and therefore missed out on that university opportunity.

Not regretting your choice doesn't mean it's your first choice. And no false impressions. It's an informed statement.

Firstly, was never ever in the reckoning for an England call up he had one game at U18 and 3 at U17 for England.

Iwobi who was a youth player played his first game for Nigeria before he had even played one games for the first team of Arsenal. The small matter of his Uncle JJay obviously made sure things happened for him.

No regrets means he has a one hundred percent stance in his system. He did not wish England came for him. You are just making that up.

No regrets means, he is not even wishing he played for them. Finito.

Nigeria never develop, them say make NFF develop football. See logic ba

Mujtahida:

Abeg oga I didn't make anything up. If it's my opinion I'd say so but what I have stated thus far is informed by an article I read.
'Yet Iwobi said himself in January that he would have “loved” to play for England and it would be intriguing to know why the FA did not try harder to make it happen before Friday’s cutoff point"
"Iwobi has apparently talked of feeling unwanted by England, though, in fairness to the FA, it did presumably play a part that the player’s uncle is Jay-Jay Okocha, football royalty in Nigeria."
Here's the link to the full article and pay attention to what Wenger said: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/mar/26/arsenal-alex-iwobi-england-nigeria

Curtisaxel27:
Here are a few lessons we can learn from Tammy's snub:
1. Catch them young:
NFF must learn to catch talented foreign borns before they start making big waves. Moses was playing in crystal palace when we got him, now think what would've happened if we waited two more years when he became a Chelsea star. Same applies in Iwobi's case. If we had gone for Abraham two seasons ago when he was just another young rookie, we would've been singing another song now. That is why I keep calling for the inclusion of young foreign borns like Deji Beyreuther. The truth is, if Deji joins Bayern Munich next season and Germany gets interested in him, no Jupiter or Pluto will convince him to look our way again. The sheer prospect of glory and assured success with the German team will be enough to tie him to the Europeans.

2. Don't beg them:
Let's face it ; Tammy has disgraced us. It pains me to think that a nation of our caliber that has millions of above average players scattered across the world will stoop to beg one disinterested foreign boy to play for us.
I seriously believe that if Pinnick had not began to
show interest in Tammy, the English FA wouldn't have looked his way. The young man rode on our backs into the three lions. I believe any player that needs to be "begged" to play for us doesn't deserve to don the green and white. Foreign born players should indicate interest in the national team, not the other way round.

Finally, we need to improve on our scouting. Like I have said Nigeria has numerous talents in different leagues all over the world who are more than willing to represent us many of which we don't even know. It's up to the technical crew to expand thier radar from the top European leagues to other leagues. Let them stop making it look like we don't have players.

This is my first comment in this section. I've been viewing in ghost mode before sha.
