Manu Garba for me is the only Nigerian coach that I know whom to a large extent is fair and transparent.
manu garba fair ? thank God it is your opinion. but bro , manu garba is not fair. just believe me, in fact NO Nigeria coach is fair, this is the reason Nigeria football is dying gradually.

The simple reason is our age grade players are all cheats. So a truly talented kids lateef doesnt stand a chance, because he will always be regarded as too small or too fragile.The same way we lost David Alaba to Austria and till today we don't have one like him in left back position.

The Nigeria's U-17 team is super talented.
Just this afternoon before hundreds of Tanzanian fans watching at Dar El Salam national stadium, the Nigeria's squad destroyed them by 5-4.

That goalkeeper is useless no talent at all. He is a big joke.

I'm sure you didn't see the match if you did,you will know that those boys are obviously under 17 - 19 max.,however he should ve been given a chance. Those Nigerian kids are super talented aside the goalkeeper. Go see the match again n come back.

You call 5-4 destroy?

Does the word destroy have a new meaning I don't know of?

Does he want us to lose out? others countries are coming with 20yrs and above and he is here talking about 15yrs baby. He should wait for at least 4-5yrs before coming for screening.

Lateef Omidiji Jr has made history as the first youngster to be called up to the Nigerian U-17 national team at age 15. He is not the youngest to be called up. Fatai Atere played at the finals in beljin 1985 at the age of 14.

Re: Lateef Omidiji Jr Dropped From AFCON Squad, He Reacts by OkunrinOloro: 8:55pm On Apr 14, 2019
First off, Angelo Ogbonna is not a half caste.
Secondly, switching allegiance doesn't always end badly. The likes of Dele Alli, Jerome Boateng, Memphis Depay, Raheem Sterling and 75% of the French National Team have nothing to regret.

Thirdly, it is a well known fact that coaches in Nigerian age grade teams take bribes to field players, so until I hear the full story, I'm not going to question Lateef's actions. Certainly there is far more to this episode than meets the eye.

JasonScoolari:
Dear Lateef,

You're not the only wonder kid in the nest, there are so many other MORE talented player than you who didn't got the coach call up but are still rooting and supporting the Golden Eaglets.

So many half caste players like Gabriel Agbonlahor, Angelo Ogbonna and Ola John are still regretting their rash decision. Don't be like them, kindly wait for your time, you might just be our own Kylian Mbappe. (You even resemble Mbappe sef)

Goodluck to the Golden Eaglets today.

We all know his too small to play for under 17 in Nigeria ��
Our under 17 are 25-28 years old above so a 15years old like him will never make it

He should forget about Nigeria as far as soccer is concerned. Let go for either US soccer or Holland , I knw he will go far n be well encouraged.

Does the word destroy have a new meaning I don't know of?

Two of the penalty kicks awarded to the Tanzanians where highly debatable.

All things being equal the game should have ended 5:2 in favour of the Golden Eaglets.

The mistake we often make in life.For not being picked at your first attempt and you lose hope.Abraham Lincoln contested for presidency several times before he finally won the seat.Our own President Buhari contested for several times before he finally won the seat.And so are many others on various fields who never got chance to showcase their talents at first attempt.

Personal opinion.

The official scoreline is 5-4.

That scoreline is far from destruction.
