TheGoodJoe:
One of the things coaches try to establish in coaching school is the philosophy they will adapt to. It is the basic of coaching.

So a coach does not have to be Mancini who is quite brilliant. Heard his coaching badge thesis was on another level. But, a coach does not need to be as brilliant as Mancini to have his philosophy.

Then selection of players is aligned to it.

If Ndah brings a different skillset that the other players don't have, we can not criticise the manager.
Tell me the philosophy of Eguavoen
His coaching badge
The coaching academy he went to.

Are you reading what you are typing? You could only list a handful and one is an age grade coach. Yet we have whites flooding all the top leagues, lower leagues, junior Leagues, academy leagues.

There are some things that you should not debate. The unfairness of black and African coaches is too much.
I know the fact there is not much of black coaches in top European clubs but it not a matter of racial prejudices or biasness it all comes down to competence.
The likes of viera, Eddie Newton,henry et Al got their chances cos of the fact they're competent not because they're black or white...simple!!

First of all, if for instance, a coach prefers having a player that makes runs with the ball into spaces, and that player plays in the PSL, are you saying the coach should not use the player to play a bundesliga star who does not make runs with the ball?

If the player does not fit the coach's philosophy or lacks the skillset he wants, you can not force it on the coach.

The philosophy is king.
Has he played apkoguma for him to know that face he can't fit into his philosophy grin grin apkoguma is a stopper similar with player like Ekong, omerou and awaziem he had better season that this trio...if he doesn't deserve to be in the squad then this trio has no place in the team
And here you're talking about philosophy
What's his philosophy you're talking about the likes of genius like Mancini we knows what his style is, the whole world know how much of a genius he is...trying to use Mancini's decision to justify a coach with no coaching badge like Eguavoen it very STUPID the likes of Mancini, Luis Enrique, Guardiola are gods in what they do.

Tell me how many black European born coaches can manage top clubs. It is not ambition. Blacks lack opportunities for football in Europe. That is why the likes of us are supporting Viera to change the narrative. So if Black Europeans find it difficult, how do you think Nigerians can just claim jobs in Europe.

How many blacks do you see in VAR rooms in the EPL? Let alone coaching.
So you're telling me ndubuisi egbo and Eddie Newton of Trabzonspor are white men grin grin
Eddie Newton was an assistant coach for Chelsea for years before moving to turkey
Oliseh had the chance to be a top manager at the eredivise and blew it up
Seyi olofinjina is currently one of the age grade coaches of Wolverhampton same with finidi George...if you're Good you're good there are opportunities of for black coaches in Europe on the basics of pure competence...Theirry Henry coached Monaco even our own emenalo was the sporting director for Chelsea for years...stop all these bullocks and face the truth.

Which winning DNA did the Super Eagles have in the last five years not to give a damm about other factors that can affect the team?

As I said, Eguavoen has already made some drastic changes to suit his philosophy. He can not push it too far few weeks to a major tournament.

His appointment came too late. He has to work with what is on ground to have a good tournament.
grin grin
What's his philosophy?
Someone that has not played a match and here you are talking about philosophy...same stupid philosophy that's could secure U-23 Olympic ticket same philosophy that made him played 3 match in Olympic qualifications lost 2 matches grin grin
Have you asked what's his CVs are
Coaching badges ?grin grin
You're just been prejudicial here bro grin
Yet you couldn't spare tunde Adelakun because he has no coaching badge
Yet we don't even know your Austin coaching badge
His CV so far shows how tactically deficient he is yet you're comparing his decisions with the likes of genius like Mancini.

It is not by club. Skill set and attributes. Cool down first and give the coach time.

Which kain skill set and attribute can a player playing in an obscure PSL use to trump over an Hoffenheim, or you think playing regularly in bundesliga is a joke...the dude has been consistent over the year despite injury woes even captain Germany U-20 can Olisa Ndah walk straight to any bundesliga second division club?

Now that we have a fit first X1, we have no excuse not to win our games.
Are we not playing FIFA World club cup?
We need to ship alot of players out of the team...for the sake of rotation Werner should stay...but see that Kai or whatever his name is need to get the fvck out of the team...same with Alonso, Saul needs to be observe more, he really balled against Brentford. I'm looking forward to the January transfer window, I think we are going to be active in the window so far Chelsea have been linked with 5 players

No there was never a place I agreed fully with your points son, yea I agreed there were Africa nudity up till the late 1900s but were not as a result of non Civilization or shit like that cos there larger amount of natives were wearing clothes at this time...infact most African are already well claded since the late 1800s but normally we still gonna have people that will be susceptible to this form of Civilization thus; the abaliki issue I raised, in Lagos, the delta region and most part in the Eastern region were fully claded.



donjazet:
Listen blud, no need for this long shalaye, you initially quoted me saying you do agree with a particular point of mine pertaining to our cultural fashion.
donjazet:
There is no need for the back and forth between both of us. It all boils down to this simple question.

The "traditional clothes" that we wear today to distinguish our tribes, are they indeed our traditional attires?
@ d bolded has any European ever engaged you in an argument that our native iro and buba, dansiki, agbada belongs to them or perhaps part of their culture hell no!!
All these clothes belongs to us.

Not in western Africa.
Peculiarly west Africa you inferior complexity is second to none

Eight African countries grew over four percent of global organic cotton production in 2017/18 and experienced a 20 percent increase over 2016/17. Tanzania is by far the largest organic cotton producing country on the continent, followed by (in order of volume) Uganda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Senegal.
Currently, most of Africa is GM-free. Countries that prohibit genetically modified seed will avoid the difficult and complex issue of crop contamination through genetic drift and handling, which has become a concern in countries such as India and the United States. This puts African countries at an advantage when it comes to organic production, which prohibits genetic modification.
Prohibiting GM production means that African farmers, national research institutes, and ginners will continue saving and breeding their own locally adapted seed, rather than needing to purchase seed every year from a foreign multinational corporation.
Africa’s proximity to European and Turkish manufacturing facilities makes it an increasingly appealing sourcing partner for several reasons, not least the lower carbon footprint of transportation to both mills and consumers in those areas.
Increasing manufacturing capacity within Africa will provide added value to the organic cotton fiber produced on the continent (rather than it being exported in raw form).
Africa’s total population is expected to double from 1.25 billion to 2.4 billion by 2050, and, in some African countries, half the population is already under 25 years old. Developing organic cotton production and manufacturing in Africa provides crucial potential for the economy by providing local jobs and reducing rural depopulation and the incentive to emigrate.

He doesn't even know that he has inversely agreed that what we term our "traditional wears" today are acculturated. They were not ours in the first place. grin grin

Very dumb mofos who just argue for arguments sake.
Well I won't say there were acculturated
Cos even before the era of loin cloth even the Romans made cloth with animal skins and Africans are not exempted from this...the world revolved towards the use of cotton and loin, well Africa revolve towards this too but due aristocrat practice in most Africa community the Poor/ordinary masses that are not from Noble family had no access to loin and cottons then...I have alot of pictures of people from Noble family well claded in cottons and loins infact loins and cottons were used to identify the rich/nobles then.

I don’t know why the message in this photo is kind of hilarious to me; maybe cos whitemen tend to exaggerate things sha . So the white man is saying as recent as July 1960 people in Abakaliki in the present eastern Nigeria don’t even don a loin clothe and there was a move to prosecute them for it ?

Na wa o, now I understand the pain of some of these anti-imperialists people like teejay . Why criminalize not wearing of clothes if what is written in that screenshot is correct ?
Even 1960 is not even recent grin

Please the bold is not true.
Stop watching too many Nollywood movies and making your impression of Igboland from that.
In Ancient Igboland, we made beautiful clothes and wore them in cold conditions or some festivals. Of course we lived in hot rainforest, so most times we wore few clothes because of heat.
Google Akwete cloth weaving centres for a start.
@ d bolded donjazet was right

Disclaimer: this is not to be view from the tribal lens cos most Africa countries during this period were like this but this was just a little bit more pronounced.

Roland let me give a better illustration of my point from present happenings.

Take the Hausa language. After the infringement of Islam into our part of Africa, the fulanis went on a religious conquest and successfully conquered many smaller satellite tribes. Vast majority of them co-opt the Hausa language. Today someone from Adamawa in the east will go all the way to the sokoto in the west and still understand them.

Because of the unity of their language, they were able to even form a sociopolitical system that has worked for all of them. Many years ago someone from borno will not understand someone from sokoto, but that's not the case today. Today they see themselves as one and are united in the same causes.

This is as apt my point as any. Same languages help in uniting people.
No apologetic feelings
But I think your IQ is too low
The fact Northerners speaks the same language does that translate into unity...many language speaks the same language, have same cultural background, have same religion, have same historical background yet they're war zones Somalia Iraq a perfect.
Now lets me stay local not go international
I'm a Yoruba boy
Yoruba is an homogeneous society translating to the fact they have the same historical breakground, cultural background, and same language (Yoruba) with a particular geographical location(South west Nigeria) despite this they're still divided ( yea very shocking)
We have the Oyos Ijexa (Ijesha), Lucumi, Ota (Aworis), Ketus, Ekitis, Jebus (Ijebu), Egba, Lucumi Ecumacho (Ogbomosho), and Anagos though they're have same history but divided by mere intonations and tones.
Imagine a group of people living in the geographical location, same belief, history, language, culture and language been divided by just mere intonations and tones...one of my professors particularly told there is no perfect homogeneous society we just have LEAST DIVERSE SOCIETY. The whole United world is myth cos the basic of the society FAMILY are divided across of alot of beliefs, ideology, and even politics, you can't take away preferences/choice from people as far people have choices to make then there will be differences. A state of utopia is a myth, a pure fantasy. France tried it in Africa by the policy of assimilation despite the fact forced labor and indignant policies were enforced on the natives there were some African that loves their traditions and cultures. I can go on and on but let me stop here grin

Havertz10:
Why are you people dragging donjapete grin he is correct[/s]

If you remove language limitations, cultural differences and religious differences, we can all unite as one

[s]Besides what's special about languages? That requires preservation, if you think that it's efficient to be battling translations in the future because you can't let go of some tribal affiliations, you are a joker

English language is like a river, it welcomes terms and words from other languages, it has been diluted so much that it's no longer what its original speakers used

If the argument is which is better or easier to learn, then that's a different conversation but we humans need only 300k words to communicate properly

In a day you don't use more than 2000 words, if a language is broadly used and it's easily accessible, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't become a general language for the world


All these tribal hype and cultural protections aren't helping anybody, they provide aesthetic appeal and sow unnecessary divisions among people that don't have any reason to be divided[/s]
All your assertions are trash

@ the bolded going by your assertions Iraq and Somalia would have been the peaceful Nations on Earth grin
The truth there is always be something that divides human
America for example is one of the most homogeneous country in the world yet they fought a civil war between the period of April 12, 1861 – May 9, 1865...no matter the mechanism put in place there will still be differences between the human race. This is just a madness that has no curse...the whole of the world thought they could prevent a further occurrence of world 1 by the creation of the leagues of nation yet there was a world war 2...even despite the creation of United Nations to prevent a further occurrence of wars among nation there was still gulf war in 1991 grin
