Yes, it’s his family issues and you shouldn’t meddle into that. Let’s focus on the football aspect.

No, you are wrong, it is already in the public. He is a public figure, and he is supposed to have his home in order so he doesn't become an object of ridicule. He needs to be reminded. You all be trying to be more Western than the westerners, hence sweeping our customs and traditions under the carpet. When a child is going the wrong way, you ought to give him corrections, then it is left for him to heed or not. He was not born out of wedlock, so it is silly for him to adopt his mother's maiden surname and have his own surname relegated. We believe in "afa m efuna"

Was Yobo's own "earned"?

Going into the 2014 WC was Yobo our best defender? Remember at the time Omeruo and Oboabona were our defensive pairing. Keshi even dropped Joseph from the squad for some time until the WC came around so will you say Yobo fraudulently earned his 100 caps?

Were those on the bench as good as Yobo or was any of them doing better than Yobo at the club level? During Yobo's time, we didn't have capable hands and he was also still playing at the apex with Fenerbahce and Norwich in the EPL, hence, his was justifiable. Tell me where Musa plays, and tell me if Musa is as good as any of our present bench materials in his position

The name Nigeria have nothing to do with all this,
It is the leaders and to a large extent people in Nigeria.
The amalgamation was a mistake

Only for the bolded, I say may your days be long, and may the gods never let you see any evil. The country needs to be disintegrated.

chrisooblog:
Well you said he doesn't deserved to be celebrated like other centurions like Yobo and Enyeama without any firm points to back your assertion.

Yes we can say we don't like how Musa is getting his recent caps but how is it any different from Yobo who you compared him to?

It's your right to dislike Musa but you can't drop "hot takes" and not expect it to be challenged and drop a feeble excuse of itching fingers.

It's because you are Chris as well that I am also trying to understand your point.

The point is simple, Musa was immense for the eagles in his best days, but as long as being a centurion is concerned, he got his through the backdoor unlike the likes of Enyama and Yobo, hence I will celebrate him for every other thing but being a centurion. He didn't earn it, rather it was given to him, politically.

Napoleon55:
Ur post was on point until up ur last 2 words "failed state''
Nigeria is still a sovereign nation,
It is our leaders who failing us.

Well, our views must not always be in conformity. To me, Nigeria is a big joke

cromz:
What is your own?

Teaching young kids ethics and norms as an African traditional man. Do you have any problems with that?

BOOOMNAIJA:
Finally, the closest to taye taiwo we will ever get in this dispensation...but a much more flexible/sleeker version of d legend.

CALVIN BASSEY

Why are you guys over hyping this boy? He is that good, yet he can't pin down a starting place at Rangers?

By the way, the boy should understand he is African, hence he should go make peace with his dad. He will only be ridiculing himself bearing his mum's maiden surname instead of his original surname(Ughelumba) just because the mum had a strained relationship with the father in Italy. I read the man never left and that he has been trying to be a part of the boy's life, instead the mum has been doing everything to turn the kids against their father, leaving the Ozubulu man in tears, as he couldn't stand his son turning to a total stranger just before his very eyes.

Dude, according to our naming culture, as the legal son of Ikenna Kingsley Ughelumba, you are Calvin Ughelumba, not Calvin Bassey, as your mum has forced you to ID with.

chrisooblog:
Well you are entitled to your opinion on Musa. Whatever the shenanigans of the NFF using all means by hook or crook to earn 100 caps I disagree that Musa is an undeserving of the milestone.

We can't just dismiss his performances at the World Cup as a mere footnote. If other players did what he did in those tournaments we will rightly praise them so why should Musa's own be different because you don't like him.

Musa has also been a constant presence in the team during the good and bad days. He was there when nobody wanted to associate with the team and they were called super chickens.

In output Musa has performed even better than some of our favorites. Is goals or assists Musa's numbers are up there with the best SE of the past and present.

We can criticize his current place in the team and say he has overstayed his welcome (by the way his case won't be the first Greats like Keshi, Kanu and Yobo stayed in the team past their prime) but I won't denigrate his contributions to the national team. No slander to the Governor

Some times you lot quote others' posts not because you have got a different thing to say, but because you have got itchy fingers. So, after all the unfounded allegations of me showing disrespect to the player, you still reechoed my points on the last paragraph? You dey lucky say your name na Chris, if not ehh...

In the future, I will remember Musa for his 4goals at the world cup, but I will never celebrate him as someone who managed a century of caps for the eagles. Yobo and Enyema got theirs on merit, Musa is getting his fraudulently, hence, in my book, I can never place him in the same league as those previous two. A century of caps must be earned, and every count of it must be merited otherwise it looses its value. The NFF should stop the history of helping players to fraudulently earn a 100 caps to the detriment of the team. Well, this is Nigeria, a failed state.

Iheanacho should be our AM

If this own goal had come from Nacho, he probably wouldn't even be making the match day squad for some weeks

TheLoneCitizen:
I'll take the insult in good faith, sir. Learn to be civil next time, child.

If any manager comes on a podium and says he isn't bias towards a player, that coach is a liar. Favouritism is inevitably ubiquitous.

But what is unacceptable is you using your mentality to stereotype another person.

Iheancho is finding gametime hard because his manager doesn't favour him in his system, not because a Kels from Nairaland thinks his colour is too rupgnant for his manager to deal with.

I don't know if your faculty is broken but a certain Ndidi, a fellow compatriot, whose skin is darker than midnight is the only player in that squad who has started 100% of his team's game.
Is he impervious to Rodgers' colouristic glare?

Use your head, son.

Oh you suddenly resorted to playing the victims card for cheap sympathy? Whats the difference between nonsensical and stupidity? Lol you are too petty kid

TheLoneCitizen:
Stop this nonsensical statements, man.

Is Ndidi brown?

Was his transfer first choice, Odsonne Edouard, not black?

Didn't he sign Daka himself?

There is no colourism in this case, you are the black man feeling inferior here.

Do you now see how stupid you sounded here? If it isn't because of favoritism and English bias, why would Rodgers be benching his best forward for Maddison and Vardy?

TheLoneCitizen:
How am I supposed to know, sir?

Is his bench role justifiable?

charlesemeka85:
then life goes on na him be the first to miss out from qualifying his team for the World Cup? Even when we had jay jay ,Kanu,yobo,martins etc common Angola qualified at our expense person die?

And what made you think rohr won’t qualify the team for the World Cup? No be super eagles their top their group for this first phase of the qualifiers?

Comot hate for ur heart abeg

Oh! I'm disappointed. Dude where did you get this bakwomi mindset from?

Sorry bro, we are too loaded to settle for less

charlesemeka85:
the much maligned rohr qualified the same team for afcon and the fifa World Cup with a game to spare, the same team that missed back to back afcons before he came on board

I am not saying rohr is the best or doing marvelously well but so far he has been okay atleast super eagles rose from 63rd to 34th in the word currently in fifa rating and among the best 5 teams in Africa

You are judging rohr with the Algerian tactician that came in and changed the fortune of the team, what about those that took charge of the Algerian team before rohr came in to transform the super eagles?

Rohr should suffer same fate as those, because they all are birds of a feather. Rohr hasn't transformed anything. Rohr is just like Aliu Cisse with many good players but totally tactless and too dumb

TheLoneCitizen:
All those concerned if Amoo will be able to bag a big move are oblivious of the fact that super agent Mino Raiola is obliquely his agent.

Wow! Where does this kid play? AM or WF? Truidstar might be right about a good AM breaking out before the world cup, but that said, we still have Rohr as our coach, not Westerhof who understands the rudiments of the game and the need to try out potentials to pluck some holes.

charlesemeka85:
then wait until nff gets rid of rohr cus no matter how u hit head for wall reach he ain’t leaving soon

Una eyes go clear when una miss the world cup

charlesemeka85:
struggles is bond to happen in ones life and in sports it’s no difference

He was a rookie then and his sojourn in the eredivisie was a learning curve which transformed him to the player he is today

Even Steven Gerard made us believe the lad was the worst thing that happened to football during his stint at Glasgow rangers but today the reverse is the case

Says the man who was castigating a then struggling Nwakali. Hypocrite

TheLoneCitizen:
What question, sir?

Why hasn't Rodgers been playing Iheanacho his best forward, instead he has opted for out of form Maddison and a spent force like Vardy?

charlesemeka85:
super eagles has the upper hand on paper but Algeria has a better team which is clear to everyone in the continent

Then, you and Rohr should be ashamed of yourselves that Belmadi has been able to build a better team within a space of 2years, while Rohr has been on the job for over 5years now with better players.

charlesemeka85:
talents doesn’t only make a good team. Na so una Dey cry for local coach same with gh dem rush appoint one of their own but now dem don give am run go hire expatriate to tinker their team

Who be una wey dey clamour for local coaches? Bros no local coach is qualified in my book to lead this squad. I have my eyes on a coaches like Chris Hughton that once coached Brighton and Hove Albion not this werey wey we get here as coach

BARAJ92:
Mention Nigeria Defenders alongside the Algerians

1 - Mehdi Zeffane (Krylia Sovetov / Russia)

2 - Hocine Benayada (ES Sahel / Tunisia)

3 - Naoufel Khacef (Tondela FC / Portugal)

4 - Ramy Bensebaïni (B. Monchengladbach / Germany)

5 - Djamel Benlamri (Qatar SC / Qatar)

6 - Mohamed Réda Halaïmia (KFCO Beerschot / Belgium)

7- Aïssa Mandi (Villarreal / Spain)

8- Ahmed Touba (RKC Waalwijk / Netherlands)

9 - Abdelkader Bedrane (ES Tunis / Tunisia)


Troost Ekong - Watford England

Leon Balogun - Rangers Scotland

Kevin Akpoguma - Hoffeinhen Germany

Zaidu Sanusi - FC Porto Portugal

Ola Aina - Torino Italy

Tyronne Ebuehi - Venezia Italy



Don't argue blindly because it is obvious you didn't even know nothing about the Algerian team before asking me to compare the two defenses. Now, tell me who looks better on paper

TheLoneCitizen:
No, not that. You said I've been trash talking Onyekuru. Why traduce my character, brother?

Because, deliberately you have been evading a simple question I asked you

BARAJ92:
So your excuse for other coaches is lack of talent when we had Aiyegbeni, Ighalo, Emenike, Obafemi, Mikel, Ambrose etc. So Congo and South Africa had better talent than us in those years. Clap for yourself.

Your argument was that prior Rohr's arrival, we missed two major tournaments. So, during those periods(2015/2017) we had Aiyegbeni, Emenike, Obafemi, Mikel all playing together abi?

Keshi won us something with a weaker team against the Ivory Coast's golden generation that boasted the likes Drogba, Toure brothers, Tiote, Arthur Bokar, Didier Zakora, prime Sol Bamba, prime Emmanuel Ebuoe, Prime Salomon Kalou etc. With the likes of Michael Babatunde, Keshi got us to the second stage of the world up, tell me what your Rohr has been able to achieve even with far more quality players playing against opponents that are totally inferior to CIV's golden generation

BARAJ92:
They have more quality than us, all over the field. It is not by forwards
Benrahma

Name the Algerian Starting 11 side by side with Nigeria's then tell me who is better.

BARAJ92:
Then they are not a top quality player. Rohr has qualified us for all the tournament since his arrival before his arrival we did not qualify for African Cup of nation for 2 consecutive season yet you guys are shouting as if he is the one ruining Nigeria football.
What are your reason for Rohr to be sack?

Did we have these quality of players prior Rohr's arrival? Wait I know the next lame excuse your gonna give which is "Rohr brought these players to the team" as if he had any other options, or was the one that bred them, or contributed to their respective successes. Rohr is just lucky to have been at the helm when there is a glut of talents yet he can't make good use of them, I wonder what he would have done if he was here when there was a dearth of talents

Philosopher1979:
Onuachu is sheer rubish. He is too technically limited for modern football. This is why big teams are not too eager to sign him.
Football is about your style of play sometime s. It might sound some how to you but Sadiq Umar is ten times better. Onuachu cannot even make a simple pass. Forget about him

The only rubbish I see here is your sense of reasoning. You said football is about style sometimes, but his style has made him a successful striker, so what nonsense are you capping again?

I have been reading your posts in here, and overtime, your takes have shown that you are a complete opposite of your chosen moniker

BARAJ92:
Mention the ills of Rohr, Stop all this shout that Nigeria has players, How many of our players are starters for top teams (Bayern, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid, Barca) Only Ndidi is a confirm started for an above average team in the top 5 league.

Besides Mahrez, can you name any other Algerian player that is a starter for a top team? Do you ever see their coach using that as an excuse the way Rohr does? By the way, does Algeria have more quality than we do yet we are so poor both tactically and otherwise ?

What happened to Alhassan? I don't see no post(s) about him and his exploits lately

TheLoneCitizen:
Why bring me into this, man?

Because I want you to tell me why Rodgers hasn't been playing Iheanacho his best forward.

Ghana has reappointed Milo Rajevac to help turn around their fortunes, though they don't have much quality talents. But we are here swimming with this crap of a coach called Rohr, though we have more quality talents.
