Nobody said Azerbaijan should be invited

If i should remember you dont want a german bundesliga player to be invited even if he scores 15 league goals but you want a DONGO YARO scam from seria B

I mentioned 3 players but u focused only on "both of them" for obvious reasons...

It's alright. Onyekuru has been consistent for every club he has played for since he started playing professional football, but being lightweight is the only excuse for him not starting for the super eagles... Sadio Mane is currently one of Africa's best player. imagine if Aliou Cisse decided that Mane shouldn't be starting any game for Senegal because he is lightweight.. lol..Even Salah with his small frame dy captain Egypt... But Osimhen and Onyekuru are too small to start for the super eagles !
It's alright.. grin
Was the Percy Tau that made Rohr pee his pants as physically imposing as any of onyekuru and Osimhen? U should know his motives way before he made the post nah

It's just the cultural dynamics of being in England and the shameless failings of many Nigerian parents.

I meet 5th Generation Jews who speak and read Hebrew fluently. I meet Arabs and I am including North African that are 4th generation, but speak Farsi and Arabic fluently.

However, Nigerian children mostly cannot speak thier Father and or Mother tongue and some even came to England as teenagers.

Shockingly l find quite a few Nigerians born and never left Nigeria unable to speak any Nigerian language.

Ibe case is not his fault, his Nigerian Father has absent from his life. He was brought up by his Jamaican step Father.
Wait oo, the same people that are more Nigerian than the Nigerians at home? Bhuhahahaha charlesemeka85, forgiveness, andrew444 et al make una come carry una Lord, local man has had enough grin

I agree with you on Bobby Adekanye but let us see what becomes of him at Lazio. If he does well at the beginning of the season, I think we should cap him before Holland.

That's right, Sheyi Ojo is a straight forward player. He can improve with time.

But some like Dele Bashiru and Maja prefer Nigeria. Nothing has happened to them.

Have you spoken with Solanke?
See them, the gullible fellows grin

Bobby Adekanya has a long way to go, he needs to play competitive first team football for one season before anything can be said.

Seyi Ojo is already proven he has great end product but not a lot of skill and the obligatory flamboyance needed to endear yourself to the Nigerian fans.

You must understand it would FOOTBALL SUICIDE when you are a established England youth international. To declare for another country when you have not sorted out your long term contractual future.

That's exactly what Lookman, Ejaria , Ojo, Onomah, Iorfa, etc have done. However, you don't invite yourself there is still a protocol.

There were some who were NEVER going to play for Nigeria like Solanke and Ibe, which I said many many moons ago.
But we didnt see him use the bolded to endear himself to the heart of French and ligue1 fans, at lowly Reims. Whats ur excuse?

Guys take ur time to read this epistle, though it is quite long but let us be voracious today, I say this bkus ur bele go burst before u go finish this message. Naija dun produce wicked players walahi.


DOWN MEMORY LANE:


Ogbueze- The onetime Nigerian football magician


“Only very rare in football does a player come along who belongs not to a club or a country, but to the world, a player so talented and such a joy to watch that he inspires admiration, universality, irrespective of the chauvinistic allegiance. The crowds turn up to see his performance, and partisan feelings are forgotten. Pele of course was such a star and so was Stanley Matthews, and in his brief career, Duncan Edwards, and Diego Maradona, the gift of the gods.”
– Jay-Jay Okocha … Farewell to the Last Paragon, Emma Okocha, Vanguard, Letters from Washington, on the retirement of Jay-Jay Augustine Okocha from the Super Eagles.


Those of you the new generation, mesmerized by the ethane artistry of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, those of you of the old school, who saw Albert Onyeanwuna take on three or four defenders at a time, witnessed the football poetry of the London Boy, the dancing effervescence of Jay-Jay the last matador, please wait for the Daily Times story of soccer’s most pulsating decade.


The Daily Times, which started covering football since June 6, 1925, had reported and seen a lot of the world’s greatest footballers. When Godwin Ogbueze performed his epic at Onikan, the Times went for the absolute and referred to the “fantasy” that happened as magic. The paper called him by that superlative for the fact that the lad conjured magic in the open arena.


After earning a hat trick, Ogbueze decided on that day to knock at the World Guinness Book of Records. He took the entire football team of the Lagos Academicals, starring: Emilio John, Tunde Martins, Tony Amayo … one by one, he dribbled down the field, approaching the goalkeeper, Manuwa, Ogbueze raised his head and smiled at the goalkeeper. The onrushing goalkeeper was neatly displaced and instead of tapping in the ball to an empty net, the magician retreated, carrying the ball on his back he started the Atilogwu dance!


This totally embarrassed the Lagos squad who moved back to the sidelines and Ogbueze still not tired of entertaining the now boisterous crowd, shoved the ball from his back to his shoulder, gently caressing the leather ball, interchangeably thrusting the ball to his head and to his neck in marked gentle kisses and embrace.


In perfect control of his one-man theater act, Godwin Ogbueze swaggered to the centre line. The referee, who in that instance had lost his authority, went after the Magician and was about snatching the ball from Ogbueze when the Magician sold him his own dummy! His whistle fell from his hands and for the first time there was pin drop silence. Without the opponents contesting the ball, in a field of play where the referee had lost his command, Godwin Ogbueze sat on the ball and with both hands up, he beckoned on the Lagos crowd to come for the ball! That crowd would forever relate the story of that epic not only to those who missed the match but would go on forever to tell the story of Ogbueze and his magic at Onikan from generation to generation. After the civil war, Ogbueze was the unsung revelation whose artistry on that day shut down a volatile crowd, dismissed the authority of the referee, dribbled down an entire team and sat down on the ball to end a game. No other player has or will ever conjure the field like the magic of Godwin Ogbueze. (See Rangers International Football Club … History of a People, pg 19, 95)


It is a pity that Magic Ogbueze was not staged before the world camera playing in the Olympics or at the World Cup. Therein springs the major difference between journalism and the mass communications world! Godwin Ogbueze, according to the Nigerian Daily Times, dribbled to stupor everybody in the field including the referee, the newspaper reported that wonder as news.


Journalism! Limited by its operating technology and limited by its national circulation, the Daily Times is a localised national medium. The Onikan Stadium and its sitting terraces is not the world and that stage is incomparable to the Olympic Heights. The World Cup arenas prepared diligently for years to accommodate the intoxicating fascinations of the sporting gods.

Loolll.... Simy was just unfortunate shaa. But he did decently enough leading to the WC. He just wasn't given enough chances. You also noticed that he was banging in goals leading up to the AFCON .... Loolll.
Simy is an okay talent that's why he is last resort. I will take him over Ujah.
He was rather fortunate that the goals came minutes before the world cup, else he would not av bn able to scam us

It is annoying Musa Yahaya is just going to fade out "Just like that". Dude is even far more technically gifted than Kelechi Nwakali but he no wan move. I don't understand! I hope he resurrects somewhere and somehow soon. He will go down as one of Nigeria's most talented youngsters who never fulfilled his potentials if he does not pick up the pieces of his career. Such a gifted lad but Talent is never enough. Wake up Yahaya!!
I don't know how u gonna view this, but, whenever a player is coming from a poor background in the core North, no matter how talented, I don't raise my hope bkus naturally he is susceptible to exploitations due to poor education and lack of exposure. yahaya is a rare talent but his camp has wrecked his talent. bar bang average sani kaita, can u name any player that has made it big from kano, katsina, kebbi, sokoto Maiduguri et al?

And with a Back-to-form Iheanacho, an on-fire Okereke, an ever growing Osimhen, Awoniyi, Onuachu, Odey, and even Simy Nwankwo all maintaining fine shape amd consistency, I don't think we will miss his services. But if he can commit to us, then it adds to the options we have. This new era will not dull at all so Tammy better wake up or get lost on the English seas.
Yes onuachu is my boy but he hasn't been impressive. Take simmy nwankwo off that list, dude is crap and does not av age on his side

Dennis Bonaventure is PROBABLY the most skilful Nigerian footballer currently. He has so many tricks in his sleeve, the only problem is that he overdoes it and loses the ball in the process. FC Brugges appear to be too strong for their opponents in the Belgian league so far.

The five players poised to be integrated into the Eagles ahead of our next game;



1. Mikel Agu – Mikel Obi’s retirement from
the national team has placed him top of the
list of players who will be called up when the
team regroup but that is also subject to his
form at his new Portuguese side Vitoria
Setubal.


2. Azubuike Okechukwu – The Istanbul
Basaksehir midfielder will be given a chance
to prove his mettle with the team with John
Ogu favorite to be dropped for the Nigeria
U23 captain as part of the efforts by Rohr to
freshen up his squad.


3. Valentine Ozornwafor – Impressed Rohr
mightily when he trained with the Super
Eagles and he followed it up with another
strong showing for the U23 in the Olympic
Qualifiers. His spot in the team will most
likely come at the expense of Leon Balogun.


4. Olufemi Kayode – Rohr has heard a lot
about the shot stopper who just moved to
Enyimba one week ago from Lobi Stars. He
is presently among the goalkeepers the
coach want to use as alternative to the
goalkeepers he has at the moment.


5. Tyrone Ebuehi – His inclusion is a no
brainer as he was mentioned as one of the
players the team badly missed at the AFCON
by Rohr. His return to full fitness plus the
games he has played in pre season so far
means he is battle ready for the right back
spot of the Super Eagles.
