No need directing the words to me. I'm not responsible for the damage to the league. I have no business with the Nigerian league in any way.

I'm also not the one to invest in it. I have made posts back in time about what can be done to the league. But for now, picking players from the league is a huge no. It is still the same sentiment that brought Eguavoen, a coach averse to success into the helm of affairs.

We like half measures and over night success that's why Nigerians cut corners just to make money by whatever means.
Fixing the league will bring lasting solutions but it's not trendy because it doesn't guarantee a 3 months turn around success which comes with begging Alaba and Tammy Abraham to come play for Super Eagles.

JohnBullMySon:
Those are far off when the NPFL had some promise. In recent times, nothing impressive comes from that league.

What investment have you made there that you want to benefit from? Is it not the NPFL you have teams traveling on our bad and dangerous roads at night to play the following day under the hot sun by 4pm.

The winners of your league take home no cash prize and you're yabbing.
Do you know clubs who qualify for Caf championship in Morroco take home $4M? Yet the Morrocans are saying it's not enough.

People are calling for investments, commitment and restructure of the league and you're engaging in rethorics. Presently what we have can only be classified as hit and miss. You basically have a bare bone structure with no foundation to create an ecosystem for millions of potential footballer scattered all over the streets of Nigeria.

do4luv14:
that is my two cents, he played with worst defenders at club level, yet he make big safes, after safes, even going to keep 3 clean sheets in a roll, he got better day after day,

so yes Okoye is good

The same basket Okoye that has been conceeding saveable goals left right center for Nigeria?
The same Okoye who couldn't catch anything against Sierra Leone allowing them come back from 4:0 in Benin?
The same Okoye who couldn't save a direct ball shot at him in Lagos during the qualifiers against Cape Verde?
The same Okoye we saw against Tunisia?
We have seen Okoye one too many times and we know he is a 3/10 goalkeeper.
I don't understand, why are you routing for Okoye? Are you a Nigerian? Even Okoye's father will tell you he's not good enough. Aren't you tired of loosing? What is really wrong with you? With due respect.

do4luv14:
take it from me, the goalkeepers are good, especially Okoye, what we need as regards goalminder, is a good goalkeeper trainer, Agu is not it

Bro please don't insult readers here with this your gist that Okoye is good. What kind of nonsense is this na?
This is very insulting.

andrewbaba44:
Walai Ezenwa never failed us ,but he is always being insulted here or so

Ezenwa is a better talent than Uzoho and Okoye. The investment in those two lads would have been better spent on Ezenwa.
Athletico Madrid and Cadiz at a point seriously looked at signing Ezenwa.

Gentle men, this was my post before the Afcon. Who remembers this?
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Eguavoen na bad market. The only Nigerian coach with any ounce of merit to coach the Super Eagles is Samson Siasia but even him is a yesterday's man.
We should be looking towards South America or Europe for a developmental manager.

This 38yr old man called Uzoho with his awkward foot steps like a girrafe chasing down a ball of coconut down the stairs. His lack of foot work has been a hindrance to his steps that's why he's always rooted to his spot and can't make a save with his legs.
The guy managed to kick the ball out for a corner kick while under no pressure. When you have a goalie who can't kick the ball properly, you will always struggle to build attacks.

Ezenwa never failed us. As a matter of fact, if Uzoho and Okoye were around, we wouldn't have qualified for Russia. I can say this before any oracle. It is that simple.
Nigerians were at the back of Ezenwa because he was home-based nothing more, nothing less.

Immediately after the Afcon, I suggested that the NFA, should scout for proper goalkeepers at home, attach a couple of goalkeeper trainers to their clubs, with these qualifiers in view.

Trust Nigerians, we are knuckle heads. Okoye and Uzoho monkey business have handed us our worst outings at both Afcon and world cup qualifiers back to back. The solution to goalkeepeing problem is not abroad. Those fans who went berserk in Abuja should have singled out Pinick and Alloy Agu for a mass beating.

The thread should be closed and a new one set up to reflect a fresh start for everyone.

forgiveness:
Wetin happen?

The stadium is being destroyed by angry fans. If diesel was cheap and there wasn't fuel scarcity, the stadium will be in flames.

Wild scenes in Abuja. If not for the soaring prize of gas and diesel, I suspect the MKO Stadium would have been in flames.

Uzoho have never and can never be a good goalkeeper. That man is an untalented age cheat, stealing a living claiming to be a goalkeeper. He should be locked up in a guard room at the Sani Abacha barracks.

While at it, Okoye should be declared persona non grata by the authorities. The sanctions can only be lifted if he stopped parading himself as a goalkeeper

Pinick must be arrested and be made to face a panel for fraud. They should give him the Mompha treatment at Efcc.

Warm congratulations to Ghana. Akwaba black stars.

At this point, we do not merit to be in Qatar.

They admitted mp3 speakers into evidence? Efcc must take our courts for jesters.

CODMOK:
All roads leads to MKO Stadium tomorrow

Nice gesture but if the stadium was made up of mostly civil servants, sorry the place will be like a grave yard. I prefer the government provided logistics at the markets so artisans and traders can fill the stadium. Na them dey bring ginger pass in events like this not civil servants.

After reading this, one cannot but give it to Lia Mohamed. The man is a seasoned spin doctor.

Make no mistake, we aren't coming back to this game if Ghana score first. We are being dominated left, right, Centre.

Sex sells really good in Nigeria. See the amount of traffic on this thread like it is a world cup final.

sarris:
It won't.
However what any serious Govt. can do is to deliberately formulate policies that will help local industries to produce those items that we massively import.
privatize our refineries, industrialization will really help to reduce the pressure on our naira.
Only then can the naira start making any gain against the dollar.
Anything apart from this, forget it, the naira will continue to go down.

This was exactly what the present government thought before banning importation of rice and closing the borders. This singular policy sent the country back to the trenches.

While his female colleagues whom he acted with in the industry are still claiming 30.

I spend 6k every week with good management and no Ac and I use laundry men for dry cleaning.
I really pity Ac installers and repairers because their means of livelyhood is becoming extinct.

adekanmbi1986:
Guinness released a statement that the publication on the subject is false.

That's just corporate PR spin. Shoprite did the same before doing the needful.

Johel:
This nonsense girl,too full of herself, too proud...knew her when we used to dance together...she a bitch.

There's something really off about the lady. I normally jump and pass whenever her content come up my social feed.

Money worshiping is a culture in Nigeria, so no surprises here.

Maxymilliano:
By the end of the day, Putin would be humbled ..

Are you on redbubble?

Hold on a second, So you own a business that makes 1.5M a month and you want to leave it to go study in the UK after which you hope to get a job where you will earn about equivalent of your current earnings in Nigeria after 4yrs of study?
Lol

Nigeria would have put those ugly red and white stripe tartan tracks on this beautiful edifice. Most times the stadium will never host any athletics tournament in its lifetime but we still put them on. Very weird country.

You will enjoy Mangu camp. The rest of your experience in the state will be stale.
That's all I can tell you.

TheGoodJoe:

The same Mikel many on this thread keeps complaining that we miss his midfield coordination.

Nobody had that conversation bro. Everything has been about Okoye, Nwakali, Simon and Chukwueze's poor showing. No one mentioned anything about missing Mikel Obi, stop living in denial.

andrewbaba44:
Painful he is not the PK taker

Jorginho is a poor man Mikel with pk duties

This shows Mikel was an average player not world class in a any shred of imagination like some would argue. I mean, just 2 years since his retirement and nobody talks about him, nobody missed him at the nation's cup, he is not remembered by analysts or sports presenters, he just vanished from everybodys memory like he was never in the national team for more than 10 years.
I just saw you mention Mikel that was when I recalled that name. I hope for his own sake he returns back to Nigeria to make some appearances on the screen, otherwise his brand will be dead and buried forever.

This guy should be in his early 40s. Saying he was 18yr old is rather insulting.
