Don't really get the rationale behind Isa Diop choosing of Morocco(his maternal home) ahead of Senegal as he couldn't make the cut for France, considering the fact that his grandfather was the first Senegalese international to play in the French league.

Oga mi, in my opinion he is. There's a reason why zaidu is at Fc Porto one of the team in the round of 8 of cl while he is at a small team (WH) I hope you're not like the other guy that think fulham is better than porto
Oh! your reason for this is club quality and strength? Hahahaha what a way to analyse players ability. grin

Abeg Zaidu is already better than him. Please don't disrespect zaidu like dat
Are you drunk? Zaidu better than Arthur Masuaku?

For now, Zaidu is not close to Masuaku and Bensebaini, though I would put him in the same league as Algeria's Fahrez who plays for Lazio, Senegal's Fode Bello-Toure of Monaco, and of course makeshift Cornet of Lyon

I wish Zaidu could grow to be as calculative and and consistent with his crosses as Arthur Masuaku who in my book is the undisputed best left back in Africa now, ahead of Bensebaini.

When we finally get Torunarigha into the mix, I wanna see a partnership of him and Akpoguma. I don't trust any of our center backs. Though, I rate Balogun above them all, he is still average at best, and he is too soft. I love them rugged and cerebral

So no Nigerian has ever scored more than 17 goals in a single season in Europe top league ? It’s shameful and we sabi make mouth say we get world class players grin

So it’s only yak that has scored 17 goals ? That guy deserves some respect

Simmy will surely get to 20 goals
Simmy will surpass that. He is already the best Nigeria has ever had in a single Serie A season. Not even Obafemi Martins comes anywhere close

No team in Africa can match our talent presently. Only a few countries in the world. hahaha! ChrisKels is now a convert. League of extraordinary marksmen in Supernerds voice!
Ceteris paribus, we will be among the top 5 teams in the world with the best forwards(both dept wise and otherwise) after summer. Currently we are the best in Africa, and will remain the best even after the AFCON.

Omo even Ike Ugbo is inches away from sealing a transfer to Leeds United. But I don't trust our CB options and we have no one to back up Ndidi. We need to bring Obinna Nwobodo

AC Milan in a tug of war with Lyon for the signature of Paul Onuachu, while Bayern battles Sevilla for the services of UD Almeria talisman, Sadiq Umar

SS Lazio back in for Simmy Nwankwo as Genoa lurks


Can't wait to see our options after summer transfer window.

Imagine having striking options of;

Osimhen - Napoli

Iheanacho - Leicester

Onuachu - AC Milan*

Sadiq - Sevilla *

Simmy - Lazio*


Outsiders; Moffi who might join a bigger team in France, Ike Ugbo who also might move to a bigger league and team, Fit again Isaac Success who might regain his form as Watford are EPL bound etc

Are we all gonna pretend we didn't see what Rohr did in our last matches? Why do we always find it difficult to give honour to our most sacred jersey numbers like other teams do?

When Keshi gave the jersey number 10 to Gabriel Okechukwu, hell was let loose, why is everyone quiet now that Rohr did it Iwuala? Why is Rohr always being shielded despite his prominent inadequacies?

since he is yet to debut for the germans then nothing is impossible.
This is what he told Oma Akatugba after his call up to the German national team. I think he will fly with the Eagles if he fails to make the German squad to the Euros


Uduokhai Discusses Nigerian Roots, Super Eagles, Okocha & Christianity

Oma Akatugba

POSTED ON NOVEMBER 13, 20



Augsburg defender, Felix Uduokhai is a dual national and one of the foreign-born Nigerians being monitored by the Nigeria Football Federation.

Born in Annaberg-Buchholz, a town in Saxony near the Czech border, to a German mother and Nigerian father on the 9th of September 1997, Uduokhai is eligible for the Super Eagles and the Die Maanschaft.





Recently called up to the German national side, as just the fourth Augsburg player in history to earn an invitation, Uduokhai in an interview made available to omasports by the Bundesliga, spoke about his international career, J.J Okocha and his faith.

“I’ve never been to a game (in Nigeria) but I’ve been in a stadium in Nigeria once. It was on old stadium and it was a long time ago but I can remember it.

“When I was there, I was 11 so it was a long time ago. Of course, at that age it’s something you can’t believe because you’ve never seen those areas before in your life and it’s so different to your life here. It’s another world. It was fantastic to see all my family, my aunt, my uncles, cousins and all my family. I really want to go there next time.”


On his favourite team in Nigeria and his knowledge of the Nigerian game, Uduokhai who has lived in Germany all his life said;

“In Nigeria, no, no special team. I don’t really know many teams, I don’t know the league. Of course, I love the national team, especially the jerseys, they’re so beautiful. I’m going to buy the next one for sure.”


Okocha is a hero for every Nigerian millennial, or Gen Z male, irrespective of discipline or roots. The former Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the best players to have ever come out of Nigeria and Uduokhai believes the time he spent in Germany is helping other Nigerian footballers.

Quizzed on his biggest Nigerian player, he said;

“No question, it’s JJ Okocha of course.”
“I saw him playing for Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League and how he played was like Ronaldinho at his best. He had all of these fancy skills. You saw that he enjoyed his game and that’s beautiful.”




Uduokhai also hopes to meet Okocha soon, as he said he has never met him before.

“No, unfortunately not but maybe some time.”
“A lot (that Okocha brought to the Bundesliga). I can remember talking to my uncle and my dad and when they came to Germany, they watched the Bundesliga.


“At the time JJ Played for Eintracht Frankfurt. For them it was wonderful to see their own country, their own man playing in the Bundesliga. JJ wasn’t a player like everyone else, or every second player, he was fantastic and special. I can remember the goal against Oliver Kahn and that was crazy. JJ did a lot for the country of Nigeria to make them famous and to represent them in Germany.”


Just before getting called to the German senior national side, Uduokhai, who admires Kevin Akpoguma’s decision to pitch tent with Nigeria said he works according to the dictates of his heart.

“For me, the most important thing is that whatever you do you decide with your heart. It’s a decision I have to make, maybe not now but it’s a decision I want to make when I’m 100% sure I want to make that step. Right now, I’m not in a position to say let’s do that, or this, I NEED SOME TIME. WE ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTH'S.”



“We’re not that close but for sure I know him(Akpoguma) well. He’s Nigerian too and can play for the national team. I’m happy for him, that he decided to play for the national team and he made that step. Congrats to him.”



A devout Christian, he goes to church on a Sunday when he does not have a game or training for Augsburg.

“Whenever I have the opportunity, I try to go to church and attend a service,” Uduokhai told Spox. “Or I read the Bible in my quiet time. For me this is the solid foundation on which I stand. Everything else builds on this for me, I draw strength from it, get calm – and also joy. There are a few players in the U21 squad who are the same,”

It's a double pivot. Kessie-Ndidi will always work better in a double pivot. Aribo is a pure CM through and through. Doesn't exactly sit beside anyone and rather gets forward much more than a Kessie would.
Besides... It's toss-up between Kessie and Gueye. Abi you see Aribo for dia?

If I send you to your ivorian woman yansh naa you go dey complain. grin
But you could easily make it one pivot, with Ndidi as the defined DM benching both Kessie and Gueye, hence creating room for Aribo to occupy his favored CM? What do you think? grin

AM- Iwobi (abi una go include Ndidi, Gueye and Kessie? I just dey laugh).

LW - Mane (Sen)

RW - Zaha (CIV: Obviously would move him to the right because of Mane)

CF - Osimhen (Naija)

Nigeria - 4

Senegal - 3 or 4
