Subsidy has to go for power to improve. Once the market has injection of cash, more players will come in, more competition and cheaper prices for all in the long run.

Transcorp energy just floated their stocks, they account for a combined 1200 MW approx. They are anticipating cash injection, and that would lead to more turbines purchased, more expansion.

Egbin power plant just announced that they about to add wind turbines to their plant, thus even increasing power output.

Mr Musa, what all new investment will do is make Gencos ramp up power production at sustained rate. Bills from Discos will reflect market cost, and new players will enter, bringing prices down for all in the near future.

Banks will also start lending to Gencos and Discos because they are now confident the market has been reformed for power operators to pay back.

More investment also means more job opportunities for youths, because power companies will need more technicians, engineers, etc.

At the cost of modest income households paying over 50k energy bill monthly. Clapp for yourself

Emmanuel Okala is a from ,Onicha Ado ,Anambra. He is even an Ozo titled. Okey Emodi and Alex Iwobi are also from Onicha. Okala is a member of the prestigious Agbalanze of Onicha.

The Okalas are actually from OgbeOtu in Onitsha. That particular village have historic ties to Ida Amkpa people of Kogi state.

Sorry to say this but currently no indeginous coach has the chops to manage the Eagles. It is what it is. Not Finidi, not Amuneke and certainly not Eguavoen.
You look at the Nigerian league, all 20 teams are managed by Nigerians but the lack of technical dept is apparent in all the teams.

The last 2 games Finidi managed, has shown him up. He couldn't tweek his team to press 10 man Ghana, held out playing same 352 formation against 10 men.

Second game, he apparently didn't change formation quickly when in search for equalizer. Can we beat our chest and say Finidi will out coach Hugo Broos and Rohr at the world cup qualifiers?

Errmm... can anyone bring me up to speed why this match is being played in Morroco? Why not in Nigeria or Ghana? One can hear the echo around the stadium like it was a covid 19 game.

Very poor photo ops. This is supposed to be a "board meeting" of the Super Eagles handlers, but nobody carry writing material, tablet or laptop. Just bottle water and vibes.

Wow I'm deeply impressed by this!

Have been taking notice of him since our quarterfinal game against Angola. Appreciate how he turned a technically deficient Angolan side into a progressive attacking side.

Looks calm and emotionally mature which he will need to handle NFF, fans, and players wahala.

I tell you. Man is the real deal. His last season with the Sporting Lisbon academy, his team had an unbeaten season.

On the back of his success with U17s and Chan teams, his Angola team lost just 3 games in 25 matches, crazy numbers. Even Peseiro can't boast of these stats with the Super Eagles.
It will take alot of courage for the NFF to hire him but he's the right man.

Remarkably, he lived in Angola through out his time there. Tells you he's the kind of man to build a project around.

Marjoribanks:
Highly tactical and intelligent. I was highly impressed about his tactical switch in the 2nd half of our match. He is just 48 and hungry for success. He will be leaking his lips having the opportunity to coach players like ours!

He's a very impressive young coach.Cerebral, affable and speaks very good English unlike Peseiro. He even voted Osimhen for the balloon dor. Thats a good pointer to how high he rates our players and the good working relationship he could foister.
We must not miss this guy.

AndSunGorilla:

Can we afford him? I doubt if he will be on a 50k salary and can he cope with being owned salaries?

He was owned 7months salary at some point by Angola while working on a shoe string budget.
Fun fact= Pedro Goncalves developed a software for monitoring Angola born players in Europe(about 700 of them). The software pushes out a notification to him if a certain metric is met by a said player.
I think his background as a scout at Sporting Lisbon had something to do with this novelty.

I expect the next Super eagles coach to bring brilliant ideas, never been seen before to our football culture instead of all these dusted debates about indigenous coach vs foreign coach.

Hey bro…you omitted my name …be careful 😎

Coachee

Happy to hear Pedro Goncalves is in the running for the Super Eagles job.

We are playing Mali and Ghana this international break. Team list is already out.

Gabriel Osho replacing Ekong,
Interesting...

michlins:
Slap on the wrist conviction. Six months or option of fine. The EFCC officers who worked hard to secure this conviction(s) will wish they took the bribe they were offered earlier on. This is heavily demoralizing to the determined staff


Bunch of jokers

No japa for you if you have a criminal record.

Ekong out for the rest of the season due to injury sustained in AFCON group stage match against CIV.

To undergo surgery for the bicep femoris injury in Finland.

Got injured but still played through the pain barrier to win tournament MVP that's my captain

Men our players who were the real walking wounded in the finals Huge respect to them

I remember the game against SA,his mobility was heavy, I tried to highlight this part but some people disagreed with me. It's obvious the injury impeded his movement in that game but he played through it.

His minutes should have been better managed. Paok should petition FIFA and send his medical bills to NFF.

Porto coach Sergio Conceição after the win over Arsenal: “Arsenal wanted to play...we wanted to win.” [Mirror]

🤣🤣🤣

Portugal seems to be the hotbed of young forward thinking managers. Marco Silva, Rúben Amorim, Sergio Conceição, Nuno Espirito, Paulo Fonseca and the likes. You're in for a long thing if you play their teams.
This is why I recommend Pedro Goncalves, the young Angola coach if Peseiro is leaving.

The link tries to explains what Portugal seems to be doing right https://football.fmh.ulisboa.pt/portugals-army-of-special-ones-coaches/

This list looks like something compiled by senators.

Not that I support bullying but I think we've sensationalized this Iwobi thing enough. Footballers being yabbed comes with the perks of the job. It's one of the occupational hazards of being a player and they are well compensated for it. Same can be said of politicians. You can't in one breathe defend Iwobi and same time insult Tinubu Balablu. That's hypocritical.

Harry Maguire has been hounded over the years so much that a Ghanaian parliamentarian made jest of him on the parliament.

Onana's at 50 memes are everywhere.
Messi was bullied to a point that he quit the national team because he couldn't win the world cup or the South American copa.

Nobody even threatened Iwobi to start with. Back in 2006, Pierre Wome had his family house burnt in Cameron after he missed a last minute penalty which denied Cameron from qualifying for the world cup. Let's move on abeg

Now Okoye don turn best thing since sliced bread....
When him dey concede 4 goals back to back nobody come here dey wax lyrical O.

Players need to be called out so they can work harder.

Before una come for my head, pause and read what I wrote and understand before you respond

My brother the thing taya me o.. One will think Okoye was dropping bangers before one mistake made people turn against him.
Nigerians eh

Philosopher1979:


Most natural midfielders we have are not in top 5 European leagues. If u mention nwakali samson tijani ebenezer akinsanmiro etc they will say they are not in good clubs or that they are too young. We are stuck with Europe. Our midfield was given problems by players from mamelodi sundown but we will not hear.
By the way samuel kalu is better than chukwueze and moses simon. Also olisah ndah is the most skillfully and technical defender we have but they are not in the top leagues in Europe so people here will say I'm foolish for saying so.
Time will prove people who think like me right. Football does not end in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Nwabali proved it.
TIME WILL TELL

That Olisa Ndah boy is indeed one who could come in and elevate the technical profile of our defence line. Our 3 centre backs at this AFCON lack the technical ability to play out from the back. This resulted in their lump it to Osimhen approach.
I barely saw our centre backs hiting diagonal balls to wingers. A player like Olisa does this with his eyes closed, he can even be asked to invert into the midfield when we have the ball like Jon Stones.
So much dynamics if we can stop this straight jacket aproach in call ups.

This maybe controversial but just like some of us screamed about sourcing for local talent for the GK role, I feel we just might hit gold if we look within for a midfield talent from the league since our best talents abroad are either strikers of wingers.
Never again should we have a coach call up 4 midfielders for friendly games. We must expand the dragnet if we desire progress.

Mujtahida:

You said as much if not directly then by implication.

Why would such implication come up when I'm not typing from a psychiatry ward?
The full context of my post eluded you, which understandably is normal after such an emotional night.

Mujtahida:

Is it the players who made such postulation? How does the postulations of fans translate into the performance of team? You dey reason so?

So me yabbing some fans for their ridiculous takes before the game is the same thing as saying the fans were responsible for the loss? Take a step back and ask yourself if this is a sound sense of reasoning from you?

TheGoodJoe:


Let us be real, throughout Peseiro's time here, we have never built our midfield. We did not freeze on the occasion. We never grew. That is how we ran with the myth that we had no keeper. Scout and screen and freaking build a team. Nigeria is not a country that fields chickens as players. Pound for pound, Brazil had far better players than us in 96, but we did not cower, we gave them hell.

On the contrary, Peseiro have tried to develop our game to be more possessive. Nobody can deny we controlled games prior to this championship, we just couldn't keep a clean sheet thanks to an unbalanced defence and Uzoho.

Alot of people commended our posessesive play against Saudi Arabia and Uganda abi na Mozambique, even you, I remember reading your blue font.

Just like the way we struck gold with Nwabali, I feel same will happen to that midfield in fullness of time.

I hope we get the next managerial hire right. Alot depends on that

TheGoodJoe:


There is a difference between having a tough game against the host and just sitting back and doing nothing. We offered nothing.

Lets be real, pound for pound they have better midfield than us. I feel the occasion got to our players and they frooze.

Icon4s:
Overall an excellent AFCON outing. For me I had an open mind going into that final game and already prepared for a defeat in case it comes.

Prio to commencement of the tourney I am not sure up to 10% of us here could have predicted we will get to the Semis let alone the final.

The team gave all they have, you cannot give what you don't have. Playing against a host team in a Cup final is not an easy fit. This is Cote D' Ivoire we just played in Abidjan.

Let's just take the positives and continue to build.

Peseiro needs to scout for more midfielders and inject them into the team while also reducing the number of defenders. Thank God we now finally have a goalie, which is one of the major positives of this AFCON outing.

We can build from here as we push towards world cup qualification. 2026 World Cup is just by the corner . Core of this team will still be available then, if we qualify.

I AM PROUD OF THE BOYS

I think Peseiro will quit, the search for more midfielders will be the job of the incoming coach.
Nice submissions though. Playing the hosts in a final was never going to be a cake walk.

Mujtahida:

Your logic - fans setting up to celebrate = reason why we were defeated.

They said people who talk logic should come out, you ma dey come 😂😂.

Your hype means nada. You don't have faith. If you attempt to hype you will suffer from the dissonance between your faithlessness and the lies your mouth utters in the name of hype.

Spin it how you like but expecting to beat Ivory coast black and blue using Germany VS Brazil as a case in point defies logic or any color of rationality.
If you draw strength and courage from that sort of asinine postulation, it's pretty much how you put it, misdiagnosis.

Mujtahida:

You have no faith. You expected loss. It happened. How e go come take pain you?

This is a misdiagnosis like you call it. Not farming for likes by yabbing Ivory coast and boasting about beating them 3-0 doesn't necessarily mean I was expecting a loss. Othwerise, I might as well not have watched the game if the result was a certainty.

Mujtahida:

There is no basis for your criticism. You don't have faith. So criticism is all you got like a wretch who keeps lashing a child he has not faith in.

I know those whose criticism one can lay store on. Marjoribanks believes deeply in the team more than most of us. In fact, his optimism shocks me yet he points out defects. You have no faith. You even attribute our loss to the confidence of fans.

So in other words, for one to be qualified to criticise the team, he must have earned the privilege by displaying a sense of fanatical support that defiles logic?
Nobody briefed me, I get the memo now.
Watch me hype the team to crescendo. I will make sure I tag you. Be there

Odunayaw:
Who were you criticizing when you were talking about humility and faith?

So hosting a victory party before the ball is kicked is the way to go?

Mujtahida:

We don lose na. You don win. Carry your trophy

Why do some of you think whoever criticises the team automatically hates the team? This is like the thinking of a douche bag kid in some expensive private school. Good lord!
