My own part of abia follow for heartland and most words from our dialect make up the recognized central igbo (Igbo izugbe) language, na-edemede abidii igbo. Chukwu goziere m Mazi Onwu na ndi otu ya nke haziri edemede abidii igbo ka o di ugbua. Do u know isuikwuato, uturu and okigwe? Av u bn there bfor? Abu m oke nwa ndi isuikwuato ji eme onu n'ihe gbasara asusu Igbo. Isi m huru kwaba okpu bu, nwoke oma dika Mazi Tony Ubesie na ndi ozo ihe gbasara asusu igbo na-anu oku n'obi.

I now understand the Heartland you are talking about, I had my secondary education in Okigwe

ChrisKels:
Lol dont let the people of "we South South" catch u Oh, because to them, they aint got no identity and their tribe is South South


I'm a full blooded igbo, from the central igbo land, the Eastern heartland, I know my roots and I have an identity. I'm unapologetically and proudly Igbo. No identity crisis

"Eastern Heartland" I thought you are from Abia

forgiveness:
It is an acronym derived from the four original local government areas that make up Anioma, i.e., (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika and (O) for Oshimili, M and A being common denominators found in the original four local government areas. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay, in 1951 and has remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves.

Learn please. Chief Dennis Osadebay ( Edo man) coined the name ANIOMA from the original four local government.

Their was nothing like Anioma tribe before 1951 neither has Delta state ever being part of Igbo land nor Eastern Region. It was either under the Western region and later Benin but all that is inconsequential if they decide to tilt towards any tribe or region.

Dennis Osadebay was not an Edo man,he was from Asaba, Delta state

nelszx:
Elderson is cousin to brila fm CEO Larry Izamoje, he's from Edo state not Anambra. Edo people most times answer names similar to Igbos.

They might be related doesn't mean Elderson is from Edo

Humility017:
don't think so....that name sound esan

He might be Esan, I have confirmed it,he is from Edo state, his full name is Tyronne Efe Ebuehi

Humility017:
yeah sure...he is from edo state
likewise Ighalo, ebuehi, moses and success

Ebuehi is Igbo from Abia state

Truidstar:
He is from Edo State Confirmed.

He is from Anambra state,his full name is Uwa Elderson Echiejile, when did people from Edo state started bearing Igbo names, he was born and born and bred in Benin city,Edo state doesn't me he's from there

ChrisKels:
Nigeria's James Igbekeme voted the over all best player so far in the Spanish Segunda (Laliga 2).

Other Laliga teams join Sevilla in the raise for his signature in the January transfer window.

ChrisKels please can you help with the links

I rated Success even higher than Iheanacho. Those that saw him play at that CAF U17 would have no doubt the boy was going to be a "world beater". Well, it is not looking like he'll get near that Eto'o status.

Me too

Icon4s:
Yaw Yeboah, Ghana's 2013 U20 player. Very skillful small statured boy then with Bow legs.The boy still sabi "drimble"?

Men...the boy just went down like that. Just like our own Rabiu Ibrahim.

Yaa the boy still sabi dribble

BascoVanVeli:
Not Jeff I forget his name but he has also been on the show long, very funny also.

His name is Mamadou Gaye

ChrisKels:
Lol I miss those days. Remember the long ASUU strike then that made guys bored at home, na kickoff.com and ghanasoccernet.com I take dey chilax to kill boredom then. We took the war to their domot, we fought tire and that our Victory really dealt them a great blow. They started hitting us below the belt to stay relevant.

I made too many friends then sha, my fellow war Lords(collynzo, Noni et al) and some bredas too.

Modified; Success was such a beast then, in him I was watching my lovely young Eto all over again. If person tell me Dat time, say Success no go surpass Eto, I fit burst the person head. But there was this certain Yaw Yeboa of the Black Starlets I really enjoyed his game then, I no believe say that boy nogo make am big by now.

I watched Yaw Yeboah yesterday on the La Liga 2 highlight, he now plays for Numancia

Icon4s:
O boy see comments.

See those Ghanaians hailing our number 9, Isaac Success. Predicting he is like Eto'o, to paint Africa red with goals. Isaac Success ngwa nu. Somebody even said he is 25yrs old. OMG! Lol.

I was predicting him to be the next Samuel Eto too

ChrisKels:
After the final whistle in the match between Leicester and Liverpool, who else saw Sadio Mane telling Aissa Mendy it was about time he came back home to play for Senegal?

I saw it too, did you just watch the match's highlight on SuperSports?

TheSuperNerd:
Chaaaiiiii... Success living up to his potentials will make this equation extra sweet. Chaaaiiiii... Another option is also Onyekuru-Nacho-Kalu... Such juicy potential striking combo options...

Now we talking potentially really super-duper scarily lethal firing squad... Kabayakatangantookabazookaaaaa!!!

In the long run I see Onyekuru as our starting LWF and Chukwueze as our starting RWF.

This is what I saw written in the Turkish press about Henry Onyekuru.
The match-winning performance was enough to place him on the back of national newspaper Vatan with the headline: 'Ne Dolar kuru... Ne Euro kuru... Hoş geldin Onyekuru' which translates (according to Google) as 'No dollar exchange rate, no euro exchange rate, welcome to Onyekuru.

ChrisKels:
Nigeria's best winger by a century mile. If Dude was a Brazilian, Ousmane Dembele would have been sold by Barca after such a poor season, and have him replaced by Onyekuru ASAP.

True talk ChrisKels Nwanne

BascoVanVeli:
I agree but once elections come I am hoping Pinnick loses. Our football has gone nowhere with him in charge. It is time for a change.

I am not surprised this Benue -Plateau man

Why can't the NPFL clubs sign some of the U17 players that the MRI scan deemed overage ? Those players would add some quality to our moribund league.

BascoVanVeli:
Baby giant Emeka Umeh with an assist for Trencin.

The guy is very tall.His height is 6 foot 8 inches, he is 2 inches taller than Simmy Nwankwo.

ChrisKels:
Wolverhampton coach was the man that gave Awaziem his break at Porto, he knows the boy better but I would advise him to remain in France with Nantes. I once read Lyon was after him.

Wolvehampton coach Nuno Espirto Santo wasn't the man that gave Awaziem his break at Porto, rather it was Jose Peseiro who gave Awaziem his break but Nuno Espirito Santo sent Awaziem back to Fc Porto B for the whole of 2016 / 2017 season. Awaziem should remain in Nantes for at least one more season.

tbaba1234:
When last did Nwobodo play in the center of midfield?

He is listed as a central midfielder or CMF for his club. Ujpest FC on transfermakt.com

The best Nigerian footballer that can replace John Mikel Obi in the No. 10 position or AMF position is Obinna Nwobodo. He needs to be on the airplane to Russia.

TheGoodJoe:
I have said it repeatedly. A year or two and then go. The reason why I said go is because at the end he might not fit in exactly. Although I believe with perseverance and Hardwork, he can achieve it. Even play it better than those with the natural abilities.

If he does not make it, he will still become a far better player than he would have in most environment that lack the education we have at City.

Iheanacho needs to leave Man City by the end of the season and that's all. He needs a steady run of games and I assure if he gets it he would return to his goal scoring best.He needs at least straight 900mins of football that is 10 full matches of playing time. He should just leave Man City because he isn't in Guardiola's plan

[quote author=ChrisKels post=55354306]Monaco is still hot on his Hills. I was never sold on to his qualities until I saw him in Brazil. If he joins either of these two clubs "Monaco and Galatasaray", then Onazi would be on a long thing. Onazi could even be pushed further down the pecking order next season when Mikel Agu rejoins FC PORTO.

Ndidi - Leicester city
Etebo - Monaco/Leicester bound
Azu Okey - Monaco/Galatasaray/Besiktas bound
Mikel Agu- fc Porto
Onazi - sivaspor
That's what's called squad depth. Am proud of that.








Azubuike Okechukwu is more of a Central Midfielder CMF than a Defensive Midfielder DMF

TheGoodJoe:
Guardiola benched Nolito for Iheanacho. Even once, is enough to show Guardiola values Iheanacho. You can say he rates Gabriel Jesus more but that he does not value Iheanacho.

He doesn't value Iheanacho he just wanted to fulfill all righteousness

TheGoodJoe:
Who will Ndidi bench. Fernandinho or Kevin De Bruyne?

Fernandinho of course if Pep believes in him.

TheGoodJoe:
Sane improved without regular playing time. Iwobi became a star of Arsenal without regular playing time. Yaya Toure did not have regular playing time this season and took an unfamiliar role, yet he is playing well. Iheanacho became one of the top players of the Super Eagles without regular playing time. Ighalo lost form despite having regular playing time.

The regular playing time stuff is a myth.

Yaya Toure is a seasoned footballer with over 43,000 minutes in his club career while Leroy Sane had over 2,900 minutes when he was with Schalke .Iwobi was playing regularly from the last quarter of last season while Ighalo is an average striker.Iheanacho game time for Man City last season wasn't up to 1,000 minutes so regular playing time is not a myth but a fact.

TheGoodJoe:

Do you think Ndidi will start a game in Manchester City despite playing regularly at his former club?

Yes if Pep believes in his talent.

TheGoodJoe:
My problem with a loan is that Iheanacho will miss out on all the trainings to gel the team. It is either he stays or he leaves totally. I do not see a loan as an option because in one way or the other, it will slow him down.

He needs to go on loan to showcase what he has learnt from training

TheGoodJoe:
Even though Leicester City lost today, Ndidi was in terrific form today and had an impressive display. Props to the young man.

Yes Ndidi was really impressive and was the Man of the match for Leicester City. Ndidi is playing very well as a result of regular playing time when he was in Genk.

TheGoodJoe:

Nolito will definitely leave too. He is not young and lots of Spanish coaches feel he is quality.

I think I agree with you concerning regular playing time. After this year, I think Iheanacho needs a platform to show how good he is. It is a tough one when you consider how good City plays. The quality of young talents in the team and the proposed stars joining the team.

City will soon have one of the best squads in Europe. I am not sure if leaving that environment is the best for Nacho.

But, your regular playing time makes a lot of sense.

Nacho will never reach his potential coming from the bench in Man City. He really needs a loan move
