Why are people hell bent on advocating for nwabali to be dropped when he hasn’t made an error? There’s an adage that says “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” presently, nwabali has excelled at his position and regardless of his league status, he presently deserve to remain as the number 1.

Dropped for who kwanu?

charlesemeka85:
you go worst pass our nff big heads if given a chance

Why not recall Ahmed Musa since na experience u dey find, if not for anything he scored a brace last weekend for Kano Pillars

Una think say National team football na club pre-season friendly? Dey Play

charlesemeka85:
which gradual process? U sure say u sabi football at all?

Are u changing the whole team with newbies or dropping 1 or 2 deadwoods for in form younger players?

The same Iheanacho that I doubt will even get minutes against Libya in both legs? Mk I see as his experience go help wen he will be glued to the bench 🤦‍♀️

Nothing wrong with infusion of 1 or 2, in some games. Look at the list released and see how many newbies and returnees we have already. You still want to drop Iheanacho for one of those names you are parading.

Goke7:
This is why am never in a hurry for any player to be dropped completely from the national team except the player truly has been in poor form for the national team(not club)

That’s how some people are already asking for Ndidi to be shown the way out. Very funny

A bottle of Coke for you, on me

If Eguavoen knows what is good for him, he should not fall for same temptation that made him field too many newbies in the return leg against Ghana in Abuja.

charlesemeka85:
and who is the old fox? Una dey always get excuse to justify nonsense

Hv u watched iheanacho play for Sevilla this season? And if you hv does he merit an invite to the super eagles base on current form?

Experience head against Libya abi Brazil? The experience of iwobi,ndidi,ekong,aina etc aren’t enough for the team?

This season, you said? That is how many games?
Bro, national team football is different from club football. We know what Iheanacho can offer this team. You cannot just throw him off the bus because he has had an average start to a new season.

charlesemeka85:
Invite in form and productive players noooooo but every international break na redundant legs we keep seeing called up

I knew France will do whatever it takes to snatch Ilenikhena from us and it’s on the verge of happening 🤦‍♀️

Infusion of newbies into a team should be a gradual process. You don't just flood a team with new players with every international break.

codemaniacs:
Cyriel Dessers, Tolu Arokodare, Victor Olatunji, Gift Orban, Yira Sor, Nathan Tella all had better goal record than Ihenacho over the past 2 years..

As a coach, there are certain positions you find your team in a game and all you need is an Old Fox, who is experienced with the national team and on the continent, to turn things around. I respect Eguavoen's position on calling Iheanacho. Besides, also, there are already a good number of new players and returnees in the team.

mostob:
I agree.
We need Sheyi Ojo, Bovi Ejaria Fred Onyedinma in that midfield.

AlhajiDanladi:
Victor Olatunji is good!

He is a Poucher.
Radars on him going forward.

Well, it was a fair game, overall.

Chukwueze balling today

mekabuachi:
Can you please explain why?

We know that Tactically Eguavoen is "not there yet" . He cannot lead the Super Eagles to the World Cup. At the 2022 AFCON, Look at how an assistant coach of Tunisia with COVID-19 depleted team completely unbundled Eguavoen tactics and he had no plan B.

mekabuachi:
Make una allow coach to do e work... Chasing game, this one that one calm down... Even if they draw the coach should be retained...

Even if Eguavoen qualifies the team to the AFCON and World Cup, unbeaten, he will still not lead the team to the AFCON let alone the world cup.

DrKlever:
There is absolutely no tactics that will favour Boniface over Osimhen. I hope AE won't regret this decision by bringing in Osimhen when we are chasing the game.

You get it

Goke7:
easy man, if osihmen starts firing blanks, we will still complain, let's not forget he also wasted two chances in the last game. For now, until he's back to full fitness, he should come in as a substitute after reading the game. It's also an advantage when the opposition is tiring out and he comes in to push them to the edge.

Did he show signs of lack of match fitness in our last game? I agree Osimhen misses chances but Boniface hardly gets into the game not to talk of missing chances. I criticise Osimhen majorly due to inability to time his runs and missed chances but I will take that ahead of a Boniface that you will hardly identify on the pitch.

ChrisKels:
Choi! Emmyboy dun cash out.

Forgiveness come and see your mate. Leave tribalisimo alone, you no gree.

TheGoodJoe:
Augustine Eguavoen relies a lot on long balls from deep and that is why he keeps picking Victor Boniface.

Keep in mind, they have not trained long enough to refine tactics. Maybe with time AE will adopt a smoother transition pattern and it might favor Osimhen. Let us be patient if he starts Boniface but Osimhen remains my pick.

There is no tactics here, Eguavoen just wants to prove one yeye point that he is in charge. Osimhen's absence really affected our 2026 WCQ games. Victor Boniface has been given enough time but is still yet to impress. Osimhen's ability to press and disorganize defences is so priceless. His physical presence alone is a problem to the defence. I hope we will not be chasing the game before Eguavoen will be thinking of bringing in Osimhen.

Not only you Sir, I even got an headache sef, better not to remember that game again


Good afternoon sir

Good afternoon, bro. Trust you are good.
It was like a terrible nightmare. I watched that game in public bar and the same anger was all over. People almost destroyed their tables.
I wouldn't blame those fans that evaded the pitch that day. I probably could have joined them

Each time I drive into Abuja and see that Abuja stadium, the anger comes back.

ouzo1:
Apart from Lookman dey rest na 419 to me.

I don't think so. The team is not that bad just that we have not been able to get full value from them.

Congratulations to all the Detribalized winners

ouzo1:
U re not alone, I feel dis group of players are overrated sef.

For me they are yet to be fully utilized. They are better than the results they have been grinding out.

I am still angered by that game.

Congratulations to the winners who I can say truly deserve it.
Thank you @lelion for this noble gesture.

Tribalism should completely be kicked off our sports threads and nairaland as a whole

Akpakomiza2:
Not true. Ikpoba only delivered to Pdp in 2020.Before then it was for APC.last year,it went to Lp

Does the fact that LP won Alimoso in Presidential election mean that it is no longer an APC Strong hold?
Ikpoba Okha is currently a PDP strong hold. That is the fact on ground.

What Alimosho is to APC in Lagos is what Ikpoba/Okha is to PDP in Edo State.

Hope the content of that document is translated in English.
E get why o

DeLaRue:
So called 'Malta' price was heavily subsidised by NNPC.

Now NNPC has announced they are in massive debt, may be as a result of the subsidy it was paying.

With Dangote, it seems subsidy is finally going to go away or be reduced substantially.

If Republic of Benin, Ghana, Niger Republic etc can buy fuel at over N1300 per litre, we must be willing to accept N850 or more per litre in Nigeria unless we want subsidy to continue and we bankrupt Nigeria.

Cheap petrol is not a constitutional right or an entitlement.

Right

Wasteful Falconets. They need to learn how to place that final pass

No just try am.

Even when I got a 33k job per month in 2005 I knew I couldn't marry with that. This is almost 20 years after, it is definitely a NO-NO

Very worrisome seeing that Armed robbery cases more than doubled from 2022 to 2023
