In their mind they know Okoye plays better than Ozoho, but because of envy and beef they'd prefer to side with Ozoho just to spite Okoye.

Its the same reason Nigerians will vote Efe and Lekan over people who bring real content in the house ,just because they want to spite the proud. Nigerians so much value humility that anyone who is fine is already termed proud just because they decide to enjoy life and be clean, groomed and healthy. This is why we never move forward because we can't seperate our bias from real skills and do it professionally ,this is why acing interviews in the country when interviewed by Nigerian HR people is hard ,cause instead of them to face content they'd be focused on useless things like the kind of make up she used, her weight or height , his phonetics, hairstyle etc.

We need to grow up in the country and shield our mind to think objectively , because somebody is fine and rich doesn't mean we should spite them out of envy

Uzoho na old goal keeper na. Second to Inyeama then. Brought out at last two years world cup or so
he is relatively new. He was not in super eagles during Vincent's time. Ejide was 2nd keeper while ayenugba n later akpei was 3rd choices. After them we had the other short guy b4 uzoho.

okoye is no where near uzoho. If u watched the last World Cup,you would not even compare. Uzoho has even improved. Mind you, he was the 1st keeper b4 he got a terrible long-term injury. Talking of wealth, uzoho is also wealthy.

Uzoho that has manned the post at a World cup , faced the almighty Lionel Messi and co , did very well being compared with an Instagram model that can't catch an Aerial cross without fumbling and dropping the ball like someone trying to catch a live porcupine, End shall never wonders..

Uzoho is miles better than Okoye , it's just that we tend to overhype anything white

i havent watched okoye much , but that naija goal keeper yesterday was very composed and was communicating with his defenders all the time, dishing out instructions . although he wasn't tested too much though

Which Test again? Didn't you read that Free kick from Ghana outside Box 18.

And those shot passes insides Box 18 Uzo guy yesterday used his Height and Holding Skills to his Advantage..

Though i am a football novices..

Truth is, okoye was never really tested at the group stages of the afcon until the Tunisia game which exposed his incompetence. If he had faced real opposition at the group stages, naija for probably crash out at the stage. In summary, okoye can't even near uzoho in the goalkeeping department

Op what is Top notched?

Top notch is an adjective, not a verb so it doesn't have past tense.

Uzoho has been our first choice goalkeeper but I remember he had a very serious injury during on of our games so we had to use Okoye. I think he is a better keeper though.

Whatever happened to Alampasu?
We need to get more Keepers on ground.

I miss Enyeama

i never said he wasnt or isnt good oo. he gave a very very good account of himself yesterday. yesterday was very very difficult , that was a 70,000 jampacked stadium supporting the black stars and yet our boys played their game , made less silly mistake , kept their calm and composure . i really give kudos to them , they played very very very well. they showed their high level of experience , they were all the time building their attack from the back , that shows confidence

Re: Nigeria's First Choice Keeper: Who Do You Prefer Okoye Or Uzoho? by IMPARTIAL: 9:29am On Mar 26, 2022
From all indications right now, it should be Uzoho.

Once upon a time, I disliked everything about him when he was on the pitch. But from what I saw yesterday, and in another recent match, the guy has matured.

Why did you think we leave the Afcon so early ?

Pls answer...
Because you guys didn’t score a goal just like yesterday too. A keeper can’t make mistakes but strikers are allowed to miss tournament saving chances.

Our definition of "played very very very well" differs o. In my opinion, only the goalkeeper, the defenders and probably the leading striker tried. Our wingers, midfielders and SS was shitty.

He did well. Our defenders too came into the game smoking hot.

In all, we should see off the Black stars of Ghana on Tuesday to secure the ticket to the mundial.
honestly the defenders and the goal keeper was really the saving grace yesterday, Ghana would have trashed Nigeria if not the keeper and the defender

i would say we went out bcoz we did not go to aFcon with a coach. If we had retained rohr, we would ve made d final.
God bless you. Rohr never played two games without a single goal. Ogunefon self no get pattern just like they were complaining about Rohr. It’s about results not Pattern.

Francis Uzoho against Ghana showed a lot of Composure, command and reflex.
He has even been once Nigeria's number one at the world cup Russia 2018.


But of recent Maduka Okoye has been preferred until that slip up against Tunisia at the AFcoN that knocked Nigeria out and called to question his competence.

So based on yesterday's top notched performance of Uzoho especially his composure in the face of hot tension.

Should Uzoho be returned as Nigeria's First choice keeper ?

So guys who do you prefer Okoye or Uzoho?

I have alwwys preferred uzoho, he will have been number 1 if not for that his injury.

Even if he told you that, common sense ought to tell you that you should do an investigation of your own to confirm his claims. Unfortunately your materialistic tendencies will not allow you to do that. grin
Also, you said that he's a Godly man and I asked you how you know that.
