Kog45: Wow!I love hearing a graduate making it in football,reason why I respect Adokiye,Odegbami,Owolabi a PHD holder,Olofinjana,Andrew Uwe,Nosa Osadolor,Adeolu Adekola,Willy Opara and the likes
You are right bro.
That year, if Jona catch you for flank, your name na sorry as a defender. We all knew he was gonna be a pro after school. Mario our top striker was even more talented with a super physique but he chose music over going pro in football.
M7even: What are you saying about northern Nigeria celebrating when niger beat Nigeria? I guess it is the same way southern niger celebrate when Nigeria beat niger republic.
It is really stupid what these Europeans did in Africa in the name of colonization, splitting brothers and lumping strangers together to form a nation, and hence causing misunderstandings and chaos. As an Igbo man, how in God’s name am I sharing same country with someone from Bornu, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Kano etc? We are not related in anyway, not socially, not culturally, not religiously, not mentally, not behaviorally. Why not join them with their Niger and chad brothers? Physically we don’t even look a like. We are in same country, but you can easily tell an Hausa man from the midsts of Igbo men, but you can never tell who is a Bamenda or Southern Cameroonian man from the midsts of Igbo men because physically, they look the same. Imagine the situation of DRC and Rwanda. Sometimes I wish the whole continent could come together and realign our selves.
Some of you guys are funny. You are scared Ola Aina might decide to quit the super eagles because a few people criticized him against millions that praised him. By the way, how are you sure that the so called post "I hope you die" was made by an eagles fan or even a Nigerian?
However their shortcomings you can't deny that they blazed the trail for the Keshis, Yekini and co.
No disrespect to these players of old but sometimes na nostalgia dey make us rate them or even think they were better talented than our present stars. Omo if you watch videos of some of these guys, you go come dey wonder what the rave was about.
Kog45: Good but Okonkwo and Okoye have Stanley Nwabali to beat and good for our goalkeeping depth.
They don't necessarily have to fight for the first shirt. We need good covers for Nwabali, unfortunately, Uzoho and Ojo can't give us that. We need to recreate that Enyeama, Ejide and Ayenugba era where we don't have to be scared when the first choice goalkeeper isn't available.
For me, our team should be; Nwabali, Maduka and whoever comes top between Arthur and others who are yet to be tested.
Kog45: This is Godwin Odiye the man that scored own goal that denied Nigeria what would have been her first WC appearance in 1978.Nigeria 1978 team would have been a golden generation that subsequent eagles teams would’ve find it hard to beat…..the team had Emma Okala,Christian Chuckwu,Segun Odegbami,Muda Lawal,Adokiye Aimesemeaka,Felix Owolabi,Kadiri Ikhana.
If na dis generation Godwin Odiye for hear it o
A golden generation that couldn’t outscore their opponents instead decided to use an own goal on a home soil as an excuse? Would the owngoal have mattered if the so called golden generation was leading their opponent by 2 or 3 goals?
TheGoodJoe: Actually, discover for this thread and bring to our notice is discover. TheSuperNerd posting Nathan Tella first here equates to discovering him for us.
Okay for the thread members who were oblivious of the said talents, not the national team.
I was not trying to downplay the efforts of TheSuperNerd, that guy is doing a great job in here.
Not really. Built like a proper midfielder. Has similar physique as Awaziem.
Midfield and defense isn’t our problem anymore, neither is goalkeeping. We just have to find a way to make the team more creative so that our strikers can be giving us those numbers
charlesemeka85: I don bookmark the name since the first day u brought him to our notice
The boy is quality. I was having doubts when I first read of the interests from La liga but the reporter laughed at me and asked me if I knew Samuel Omorodion and his journey from same route(Spanish third division). That was when I became interested in the boy.
charlesemeka85: I pray so. This one na your boy cus na u discover am 🤣🤣
No one discovered anyone. Uche was a member of our U23 squad.
Na you and TheSuperNerd dey do that yeye discover thing, yet you guys can't point to any grassroot or academy owned by you guys. Na only for mouth and pages of news papers una dey discover the talents. Una go go read report somewhere, then come bring the report here begin shout say una dun discover player for us as if we too no dey read those reports 😂🤣😂🤣
charlesemeka85: Laliga side Getafe beat Sevilla and Betis to signing of 20 year old Nigerian Midfielder Chrisantus Ugonna Uche from Spanish 3rd tier side Cuenta
He will join the Madrid based club officially next summer on a 2 year deal
He just left Owerri a year ago to join 5th tier Spanish club Moralo where he was snapped by Cuenta
Quality Central Midfielder. He will definitely boss the La liga.
charlesemeka85: same here but I no fancy that psg rumored move
I for like mk em come epl
I like the move, otherwise he should go to Madrid or Bayern, two teams that can guarantee him a champions league trophy every two seasons, while still paying him huge. No epl team can guarantee him that, not even City
