Isn’t Danjuma injured?

Yea buh with Denny's form, Danjuma would find it hard to get back to the team, unless the coach alters his formation to accommodate him as he equally, is a good player on his day

Another MOTM for Kingsley Michael.

Don't worry, I go set u up against Mbjane very soon

Moses Simon warming the Levante bench as though his life depends on it. I think it's about time he was excused from the national team because I cant see him holding his own on either wing with the plethora of wingers we have doing wonderfully well out there.

Except one man ,I no mention name o,b4 Dem begin explain to us y d system no fit him style of play

U are my man buh u being a pvssy here. Was this really necessary? U should be better than this bro. Stop, it is stale already

SlayerForever:
Onyekuru on a hattrick!!! Tomorrow this coach will play him on the right wing again! Last time he banged in 2 guess what,he was on the left wing.

Waiting for OwnGoalNigeria to report tomorrow that Bayern have renewed interest in him and are "monitoring" him.

Repeat after me: ONYEKURU!

I wonder why that man likes playing him out of position for inconsistent Gomez(whatever that Cape Verdian's name is) who has been stinking up the whole place

Dennis Bounaventure has really gotten his mojo back. Dude dun improve wella, was simply unplayable today. Bar injuries and a dip in form, he sure gonna extend Danjuma's stay in the Brugge bench.

I read he might be joining Torino in January though

Deji on loan to Chemitz is a positive move, he should be seeing regular game time instead of being on the Frankfurt bench every weekend. I really do hope Aigbogun gives him a call when next the Flying Eagles will be gathering.

The former, am not in the position to say but as for the later is definitely no! , am more of the opposite

Just in Nigeria alone: Obi is Kola in Yoruba but heart in Igbo. Ebi is Can mean hunger or family group in Yoruba but we have Onome Ebi who is an Urhobo girl. Ola is Jewel in Igbo but wealth or tomorrow in Yoruba. I can go on and on.

I aint disputing this fact bro, buh remember the story of Sierra Leone. The pioneers and how they came about. I read it was once a dumping ground for unwanted slaves and slaves who returned to Africa buh cudnt retrace their roots.

Icon4s:
Even the Ones in Freetown, it is not likely they of Nigerian origin. Remember Teko Oliseh? He is a Sierra Leonean and has no ties with Nigeria in whatsoever way.

As I said before there are some African words or names from different ethnic groups with same spellings but different pronunciations and meanings.

Sekou Oliseh is a Liberian, but, adopted the name Oliseh bkus he came through Churchil Oliseh's(his Godfather) FC Ebedei

There is also a Robson-Kanu in the Irish national team. I don't think it has anything to do with the abolished slave trade. Although there are several part of Brazil where we still have enclaves of ex-Nigerian (mostly Yoruba) slaves. But one thing about slave trade, the slaves hardly keep their original native African names as the new owners forced foreign names on them. So u will hardly see a slave lineage that has their original African surname preserved to this mordern time.

That Kanu of Brazil or Sierra Leone are not likely related to Nigerian origin. They most likely do not even have the same meaning. Just different words or meaningd with same pronunciation. I have seen similar words in Igbo and Yoruba with same or similar spellings but completely different meanings.

About Robson the Welsh(not Irish) international, he is actually of Nigerian descent. His dad, Rechi Kanu was once a prominent lawyer down here in Nigeria before he left for the UK for pastures new.

When I talked about slave trade, I meant the Kanu's of Freetown (Sierra Leone), not the ones in Brazil. The Brazilians are clearly due to Kanu's heroics in Atlanta 96 just like the one below; Does the boy's physique wring a bell?

This boy has really come back stronger. Ideal full back.

This question goes to the history lovers in here. The name "Kanu" is gradually becoming a household name in Brazil(one Kanu even plays for Kortrij in the Belgian first division) due to Nwankwo's heroics in Atlanta 96, now, what inspired same name in Sierra Leone? I av come across some Kanus from Freetown that I mistook for Nigerians. Does it have anything to do with the defunct slave trade?

Who is 'Jose Uche' of SD Huesca?

Na just name wey resemble name, I don't think he has any Nigerian blood flowing in his veins. Ever heard of another Spanish player "Raul Uche" of Leicester?

komekn:
This is complete Balderdash you are getting carried away with prejudice and Negative bias.

The two strikers Odey and Paul are untested and unproven at higher level comparative to Ighalo.

Cam someone remind me how many goals Isaac Success had scored in three seasons in the EPL please and compare that to how many Ighalo scored.

Meanwhile Ighalo is still performing much better than the favoured poster boy KC.

So for now. Ighalo is remains numero 1 no contest.

But the tested Ighalo remains unproven both at club level and the national team levels, in other words, he failed the tests woefully. Ighalo is nothing buh a championship tiger and an EPL pvssy cat. His ilks are Dwight Gayle, Ruddy Gestede, Lambert, Tammy Abraham etc. These are tier 2 strikers who only show some flashes in the lower divisions to dim off when the stake is raised a whit higher. The GWG is too big for that. He was a flash in the pan in the Epl, a colossal fiasco, hence he ran away to Asia in the Chinese league. Onuachu, Odey, Osimhen, Eduok all play in better leagues and have all been delivering, they deserve their chances ahead of the so called tested Ighalo that always chokes to death at the tourneys. Ighalo isnt what we need. Stop grasping at straws by making this look like KC versus Ighalo diss, bkus I have never at any time praised KC's profligacies in front of goal, I aint no big fan of his bkus to me, he is too predictable just like Ighalo. My options remain Onuachu, Success, Odey, Osimhen, Maja if he joins an epl team et al

It will be ultra delusional to expect ineffectual Ighalo to deliver in the AFCON 2019. Like I always say, his showing against Libya is nothing buh a pig with lipsticks who is sure gonna go back to his usual self.

A battering ram like Emenike came from nowhere to carry the Eagles on his shoulders, gave us an Afcon ticket, won the Afcon for us, gave us a world cup ticket and served Osaze, on a platter the decisive goal that took us to the knockout Stages. Today, we are stuck with a certain misfiring guy in Ighalo who has been a mess in all the tourneys he has repped Nigeria, from the youth teams to the senior teams.

These guys would do better, if given the opportunities Ighalo has enjoyed;

Ebby Paul Onuachu
Stephen Odey
Isaac Success
Further down the list, I believe Maja can even hold his own

Ighalo has always proven to be a big embarrassment to the national team at any stage, in tournaments. The earlier we get rid of him, the better.

Odunayaw:
Look what I found in the post you quoted


You are beginning to look desperate ogbeni! Your stomach can't seem to hold in it's junk once you see Samuel Chukwueze.

The darn EPL is allowed to blow Dele Alli and Jamie Vardy out of proportion but La liga isn't

Lol Ayo u get time oo

Chairman, we dey wait u for the other side.

Na there the lavatory dey?

komekn:
Don't you think you are now carrying this hype thing way beyond all sense of rationality.

It's an opinion, it's not a fact.

Can you tell us how much has Real and Barca, add to that PSG, Man City, Liverpool, Juventus, etc, etc, are bidding for this player. Because that is what would be the evidence of the statement " most sought after teen in world football "


Otherwise it's just hype by local journalists.

Come on bruv, consider the statement " WORLD FOOTBALL" This is what you call OVER HYPE after how many games in La Liga.

I am sure you will call me a hater.

Please where can I get a lavatory around here?

gamaliel9:
Ok Sir...till i see "Porto confirms Onuachu arrival"

U are still missing the point. This discussion is about Simmy's move to Basel not Onuachu's speculated move to Porto. Here is the conversations sequentially;

ChrisKels:
Simmy Nwankwo to join FC Basel in January to enhance his Afcon chances...

Bolowolowo:
Great mid tier club. Hopefully the environment will be conducive to his(Simmy's) growth.

gamaliel9:
What does he really bring to the Super Eagle? He is not that clinical..What is special about him?

Bolowolowo:
Seeing that he is a Nigerian player and has donned our colors for the world cup, we wish the best for him. His goal crazy stint at Crotone attests to the talents that he possesses. We hope that this move can unlock the potential he has so he can deliver for his club and potentially for country again.

Now this is where u started missing the point by mixing up Simmy with Onuachu;

gamaliel9:
True but when i see the array of Nigerian talents Porto is wasting....i am alarmed really on that yet to be confirmed move to Porto....Portugal is higher than Denmark but Porto...mbanu...i do not know whose policy there is to buy Nigerian players then frustrate them....Agu,Awaziem,Chidera Eze,Irhene,Yahaya,Nwakali....there was even another new entrant...i have forgotten his name sef....Porto buys them and sends them on loan where they perform well bar Nwakali.....then brings them back to be benched....you understand my fear about that Porto move?

ChrisKels:
Bros no vex oo, did the report read "Onuachu to Porto" or "Simmy Nwankwo to FC Basel"? U mixing it up, scroll back to retrace ur step

gamaliel9:
Ok Sir...till i see "Porto confirms Onuachu arrival"
