Somehow, he may be correct considering the exploit of Daniel Amokachi, Tijani Babangida and Garba Lawal.....even Ahmed Musa

Mention the team that was dominated by igbos even before year 2000

RTSC:

It's a statement of fact.

Greatness does not come out of thin air.

Messi and Ronaldo are the greatest right now because they are the most talented of their generation, just like maradona and Ronaldinho were the most talented of their own generation.

Yes, we have some players like Frank Lampard who may not be as talented but pushed to excellence through hardwork and discipline, but generally in football, the biggest talents are the greatest players.

Because of tribalism. They don't want to bring Northerners into NFF. Or are you telling me there are no better footballers in the North since the time of Kanu and co?

Oh! I forgot your hatred for Northerners has eaten up your brain

umarshehu58:

Ahmed Musa is better than them

Elemosho478:



2 Yoruba are the Highest goal scorer for the national team, despite the fact that few Yoruba are in the national team will still manage to stay on top

Asisat Oshoala is also making wave for the Female Team, she even won Africa best female player and highest scorer in tournament


We are few in the national team but we still manage to stay on top imagine if there are more Yoruba

Ewu, all ur northern brothers are content with playing local football its nobody's fault

masseratti:
I tìre for this illiterate, commentors, it's his opinion and he gave a caveat, have any of them seen what he saw? If they don't understand talent without the right attitude is nothing, he didn't call them the best.

ZaraGift:




My dear, you're really an illiterate for calling Amokachi a Northerner, Ahmed Musa is not even a full Northerner as his mother is from South

RTSC:

There are no better footballers in the north.
Just one or two can make the grade, generation after generations.

At least you can't call gernot rohr or westerhof a tribalist.

Don't come and ruin football for us the way you guys destroyed NNPC

frowland:


Ronaldo and messi are great because someone took interest in them. Messi would have languished in penury if the parents didn't put in more effort. There are many great talents worldwide better than that two but was never discovered. What is talent if you don't make effort to be noticed?.. ...and that is what the article tends to drive at.

RTSC:

I don't disagree that talents are wasted in the north.
What I disagree is claiming that the highest wasted talents are in the north.
It doesn't make sense. Population is not football.

Common sense dictates that the place with the most accomplished players would have more wasted talents.

For example, South America should have the highest number of wasted supreme talents in the world.

umarshehu58:


See this one. U don't want anything associated with the truth. You only want to hear what you want to hear

RTSC:

Go and check the 80s and 90s squad online and come back.
Igbo had the majority.

umarshehu58:


Akuya, Tribalism and hatred will keep killing you people

Ihenzy:
Very very very true

Who's the illiterate between me and you? First, you are not educated enough to know that Daniel Amokachi is from Kaduna State. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Amokachi and you foolishly said Ahmed Musa is not a Northerner because his mum is not from the North. I just hope you ain't teaching in a Nursery and Primary School, because you're a stark illiterate!

RTSC:

Perpetual nkwocha is the most decorated player in female football.
It would take lot for oshoala who is not as talented by the way, to reach her achievements let alone surpass.

She can't even win Africa's best player consistently like perpetual did.

In the male team, Yoruba did not dominate because you were just not good enough enmass.
You can't tell me that the coaches did not come to Lagos to scout Yoruba players.
That is where they even go, but somehow igbos dominate.

Yes, we had the likes of yekini who were phenomenal players, but the team was built on igbo players.

ZaraGift:




Someone like Ahmed Musa is not a full Northerner, His mother is from the South, Southern blood runs through him

Masaratixxx:




You're irredeemable from your stup!dity

If that's the case, then Mikel Obi and others are from the North

olaolaking:
Igos like amokachi abi? because igbos had been claiming all the south south even north central in the super eagle team

Afonja007:
please stop disgracing we igbos pls, we igbos dont claim whats is not ours please ,we ve enough footballers

Afonja007:
please stop disgracing we igbos pls, we igbos dont claim whats is not ours please ,we ve enough footballers

RTSC:

There is no tribe called south South.

Sunday oliseh, Jay Jay okocha and Steven okechukwu keshi are from the same place as nzeogwu.

The same man that led the so called igbo coup.

ZaraGift:



Boko haram terrorists are forwards and a strikers

IamPatriotic:

You're a bastard! your father is the illiterate, omoale jatijati....perhaps, Kaduna State is in your region in the South East....Idiot!

renewa29:


Silly talk. Is J.J Okocha from the north? Kanu Nwankwo? Rashidi Yekini? Jonathan Akpoboririe? Finidi George?

The biggest problem is reading and comprehending.

aribisala0:


At what point in the "SILLY" talk did he mention anyone's origin
