tsdarkside:

tsdarkside:
should all nigerians become importers like you people....??

Did I ask you to become an importer? What gains where made as a result of that policy?

Perfectbeing:
Don't be slow..
Rice is the most consumed staple food in Nigeria.
With importation, we were enriching Brazil, Thailand, India and Chinese farmers while making ours poorer.
Even though we don't export it out, it still helped our economy in more than one ways. It enriched our local farmers and almost money needed to import rice is now being used for other things.

And who told you miller, cassava, groundnut, maize cocoa etc weren't improved on.

Check the top 10 agro export from Nigeria.

You should be tired of yourself too.. Black monkey.

I would love to hear your opinion the policy reversal now.

seborrhic:
Everyone should just move on and stop giving themselves hypertension and wasting time on unnecessary news and posts that won't change anything.
Even if there is evidence that Tinubu slept with a newborn or there are pictures of murder he committed for rituals,the Nigerian court set up is not the one that will ever overturn a president once declared.
Foreign powers too are not interested in whatever crimes the man committed,they will continue recognising and according him all the rights of the president of Nigeria.
So after all the expose' and what else,it doesn't change anything.
Once INEC declares someone the president,no matter how flawed,or how heinous a past crime he committed,that's that till the next election!

Have you ever heard the word "impeachment"? Lol

SPORT2023 WWC: FIFA under fire over decision to pay players directly because of Nigeria’s Super Falcons




Former Super Eagles defender, Sam Sodje, has expressed discontent over comment by Fatma Samoura, Secretary-General of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), disparaging the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).


NAN reports that Samoura had reportedly told the Super Falcons in their dressing room that FIFA had decided to pay their prize money directly to them rather than through the NFF.

However, Sodje, in a statement signed by him on Wednesday in Warri, said the comment was uncalled for.


“I read with shock, the statement purportedly made by Samoura in the dressing room of the Super Falcons at the ongoing Women’s World Cup.

“A FIFA official need not make this disparaging statement openly because those who were in charge of football administration in Nigeria should have been sanctioned when it noticed it,“ he said.


Sodje said it was disrespectful for her to castigate and implicate Nigeria, a nation that has contributed so much to football, without investigating the genesis of this problem.

“The Federation Secretary should understand that Nigeria, as a country, has very serious and honest sports administrators that can hold their position anywhere in the world.

“What Nigeria and, in fact, Africa need now is encouragement, not castigation.

“FIFA needs to respect Nigeria and Africa because we, as a nation and a continent, have contributed so much to world football and the growth of FIFA as an organisation,” he said

If you embezzle monies meant for players renumeration, you don't deserve any respect. Is Sodje crazy?

Barryseal:
Aloy Agu lacks the locus to continue as the goalkeepers trainer if he couldn't sort out the position in 6years. He is banking on Okoye to come good at Watford. We all know he will be demystified in England and when it happens he would be their 3rd or 4th choice GK.

That was fast 🤣

Philosopher1979:
He should wait till he is 31 before going to collect his money.
He is on the verge of maing history.
If he goes now it will be hard to come back as he may be too expensive for
most european clubs. A club may need 200 million to buy him back.
Let him fulfil his destiny for another 7 years before going.
These money leagues will always be there.
if it is not saudi arabia today it is usa or china tommorow.
Even south america may attract investors soon
Let him stay and break any record.
Besides his level may go down if he heads for saudi.
He should just stay in Europe and go and get his money when he is 31 or 32

Fulfil what destiny? Win the Balon dor?
You guys need to understand the core reason why players move to big clubs is the monetary value those clubs pay unlike midtable teams. Madrid won't pay Oshimen more than £10M per season.
Saudi are offering 1/4 of 1£B in 4years. This is Floyd Mayweather kind of earning. He could end his career being a billionaire in USD.
He would be mad not the jump on this.

Marjoribanks:
If I reply this fvckboy now people like him will start crying over the TL and get me banned. I hope you guys see that I don't come for you if you don't come for me or Nigerian players.
I do hope you are not writing your suicide note nor breaking another bone yet. I do not want to be the one that lead you to doing that.
I will let you be!

See who is pleading the victim.. I engage lunatics like you who need serious deliverance. Count yourself lucky I wasn't online here when you made that silly remark, we for put leg for the same trouser.

Marjoribanks:
This is why he is worth more than your entire generation. lol!

I'm worth 1000x more than your father.

Meliforme:
I don't think you know the player.

Tell me one reason why he is not good.
Just one reason .

They don't call him Bambi on ice in Holland for no reason.

Kog45:
Barry I got your views on Bassey and I shared similar views.

In eagles I will pick Segunda Omeruo and Croatia Awaziem over Calvin Bassey.

Awaziem and Omeruo are much better footballers than Bassey. Sounds harsh but it's true. Omeruo for starts owned the Eredivise when he was on loan to Den hag. That same period, he won us the nations cup. What are we saying

komekn:
First of the inclusion was a retort to those who felt particularly in comparison to Awaziem and Omeruo that Bassey is not good enough.

Awaziem and Omeruo have not done well remove the proviso African. Omeruo never played for Chelsea and Awaziem spent more time in the B team. That says a lot about their supposed quality.

I can't remove the African proviso. The reality of the quota tarrif on non EU players will always be a bias against Africans.
South Americans usually have 2 passports, they get signed up and intigrated seemlessly. You can play the ostrich if you want but that won't negate the truth.

komekn:
Very simple the person who wants to pay £30 Million for him.

But Awaziem and Omeruo playing in dead Segunda division and obscurity of Croatia are great.

Players and valuation these are chalk and cheese. We've seen players valued at 100M not worth anyway near it.
I guarantee you, Brighton are looking at Bassey's profile and not performance. This was the exact Reson MJ wasn't a first draft NBA pick. You claim to be a scout so you should understand what I'm saying.

Awaziem and Omeruo aren't in this discussion. They have their career trajectory and as native Africans, they have done relatively well for themselves. They have both been in the books of Porto and Chelsea. Played at the highest level in Spain and France. I don't really know what you have against them.

Marjoribanks:
Swear to God that you watched one Ajax game this past season? Did you watch them against Liverpool? Did you know Bassey got more than 10 match of the man award this past season?
I watched all Ajax game that Bassey started. Timber was more at fault for goals conceded by Ajax than Bassey but the fans always turn on him cos they spent 28 million on him., therefore they expect him to stop all the balls from going in which is not humanly possible. Yes, he do make mistake sometimes but who doesn't.
The Ajax team Bassey met was in disarray. The midfielders were some of the worst set of players in Ajax history. Bobbery, Tadic and this Tottenham guy were also struggling in attack. It got to a time that the coach had to play Kudus their best midfileder as a 9. Whenever Kudus start in midfield Bassey plays better cos Kudus can hold the ball and carry it forward.

Ask yourself why Brighton wants both Kudus and Bassey together?
Watch ball and stop displaying your silly ignorance here!

This tweet explains it better

You watch every Ajax game and you don't know Bassey isn't so good in possession and playing out from the back, a system Ajax is renouned for?
Did you watch Vermalean and Vertogen back in Ajax to understand the football IQ Ajax required from their CB?
Even for the Super Eagles, he struggled to do the basics against Ghana. At a point he couldn't even trap the ball, he was promptly yanked off. People like you blamed the pitch and weather(night game). A country like Nigeria cannot have a defender at Ajax and he's not the first name on the team sheet. But what do we have?

charlesemeka85:
and do I seem like one who hype players unnecessarily? Bassey did enough to merit he’s move to ajax just that it didn’t work out as expected

You fail to put into consideration that it takes some players time to adapt to new environment while others adapts faster

I am a kin follower of Ajax and watch their matches via espn and I must tell you that Ajax team of last season was trash. No player was exceptional unless maybe kudus to an extend

Bassey from the games I saw him play for Ajax wasn’t as bad as the Dutch media painted him maybe because of the price they bought him. I believe u saw him against Liverpool and Napoli in the ucl

Also for De Zerbi to go for him it implies that he has potentials that still need to be worked on

Technique or whatsoever they are players that hv it in abundant as hyped here but still languishing in lower tier clubs with escape route very slim

As for Okoye he was among the top 5 goalies in the Dutch league for 2 seasons before he got signed by Watford. He earned he’s move to England. Okoye didn’t earn the move because of his Caucasian mother but because he worked and earned it

So carry your bias mentality shift

For over 4 generations, Ajax have seen some of the finest footballers in the world, it's insane to think they have a particular bias against Bassey, a player they had high hopes for when he first arrived.

Even in chaos, good players still standout. For instance, You can't look at Chelsea's last season amist the upheavel and say Thiago Silva, Reece James, Chilwel, kovacic etc are all bad players.

For your information, Ajax problem last season wasn't goal scoring, only 1 team outscored them all season.
They had a very unstable defence partly due to Bassey's lack of position awareness, he lost his place at the end. A point Bassey himself agreed to when he said he was learning from Timber and Alvarez sitting on the bench(screenshot).

Secondly, his ability on the ball is comical. Simply not Ajax standard to put it mildly. His level is the Scottish league, harsh truth.
His profile being a left footed CB (a rarity) appeals to scouts. He wouldn't get this far if he was right footed. He will be exposed at Brighton.

elyte89:
I think I will tow dis line …intelligence wise ,he’s just dere ,he’s not a good footballer

If not personal bias, who would look at Bassey and think he's decent?

charlesemeka85:
because it didn’t work out for him at Ajax?

Na una go condemn quality but hype trash.

That Ajax team is toxic and the media in Holland haven’t been nice to the guy judging by the fact that he is in he’s first season with them

New country, league and style of play but you forget that it takes some players time to adapt to a new league and system

Letting him go after one season is one big mistake I knw Ajax will regret. Bassey is fast,robust and good on the ball so I believe that De Zerbi will bring out the best in him at Brighton if the deal goes through

Bassey has the qualities and in the right age to turn out to be a monstrous CB/LB in the nearest future

Listen, when profiling a player, look beyond nationality if you can, possibly remove all personal bias.
Bassey has a decent profile, in terms of age and position CB/LB. Beyond that, he is found wanting in very key areas. He lacks discipline and his technique is very suspect. Ajax got him to replace Martinez and you can see the drop off in quality.
You must be one of the jokers who thought Okoye was going to be decent at Watford because he's Nigerian.. Lol

charlesemeka85:
exposed how?

He's not very good at football.

charlesemeka85:
Calvin Bassey in the list of possible defenders to be signed by epl side Brighton and Hove

The links are strong..
Bassey about to be exposed... Lol

Spy360:
Havertz was brought to strengthen the entire frontline.
His being a backup for Saka is more in case of injury or fatigue not necessarily as a sub.

He was a RW when at Bayer. He plays AM for Germany. Personally I don't see him as a striker and from what Arteta said, he will be deployed in midfield.

He could have evolved to become a striker later in his career. His case is exactly like Kelechi Iheanacho. Recall Kc was a SS/RW/AM in his formative years and probably the best teenage footballer in the world,but got converted too soon to become a top9. His growth has been staunted since 2016.
The benefit for Arsenal here is that Harvetz haven't been at Chelsea too long so he can be salvaged. Arteta is confident.

Well, I don port come back Nairaland.

komekn:
Aston villa are in the city of Birmingham

They are bitter rivals just like Utd vs City at any level.

komekn:
Unfortunately we don't anchor ⚓ prominence and capacity on history.

As it stands Aston Villa, West Bromwich , Wolverhampton W, are all much bigger clubs than Birmingham City.

True. But you don't completely wash away history and in terms of size I'm referring to what the club represents and the size of the city.

Amedino99:
na small club mentality dey worry Dem.

They aren't. Birmingham is the biggest club in West midlands, far bigger than Newcastle. They aren't just where they are supposed to be. This club was formed in 1875.
