Or he should contest in the location where he can connect with the people.

Remove their names paste the profile of all 3 candidates and no will put GRV top choice

How does it make sense that in a state you are trying to become governor you cannot communicate in the local language

AndSunGorilla:
Sir you sound very knowledgeable in legal terms. Are you a court bailiff, court clerk or paralegal sir?

Franktom247:
To me the pitch excuse is nonsense and hogwash

Did the pitch affect Adams from making a 2m pass in that second half counter or Awoniyi running up and down during the first half without direction or Bruno being easily dribbled in the first goal we conceded and his other lapses that made Bassey to yell at him

The players are cowards to say the least

They all know Africa is under developed if they are not ready to give their all there a thousand and more people ready to give their all they should make way for them

If Bissau can be excellent in that so-called potato farm what is the chance they will turn out to be worse or bad and be easily beaten by this toothless eagles on a better pitch that's if ours is even better

Al Hassan to me is a slightly better version of Ndidi. He is not a world beater but he has energy, can cover ground, pass the ball comfortably and most importantly is technically better than Ndidi. I don't think he is the solution to our midfield problems but I will take him in a heartbeat over Ndidi. The good news is that Tim Iroegbunam and Lesley Ugochukwu paperworks are being processed as I type. Tochukwu Nnadi, Lesley Ugochukwu and Tim Iroebgunam should definitely end Wilfred Ndidi era in the supereagles. Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is not a finished article. Do you know why Inter Milan signed him in the first place? They signed him because of his technical quality. He is comfortable on the ball, can run with the ball, good close control, great first touch and a good passing range. He is 21 years old and can still get better.

Okoye is not good enough to be number 1 he had his chance and is unreliable
Coach will regularly use Okonkwo soon
But Nwabali is mentally tough then the other guys and has proven himself in Afcon tournaments

EElopa:
Dude, I agree with you on Ndidi, but I completely disagree with you on Iwobi. Alex Iwobi is the least of Nigeria's problems. Wilfred Ndidi, even in his prime, was neither a ball-playing nor a ball-carrying midfielder. He hides from the ball due to his limited ability with the ball at his feet. In his prime he made up these shortcomings with his V12 engine heart, world-class athleticism, and Jelaff legs that allowed him to intercept balls and win aerial duels and one-on-one battles in the midfield. It made him one of the top 10 defensive midfielders in the world back then. That leg and the V12 engine heart are gone, and he is now a complete liability for this team. Eric Chelle needs to develop the balls and let Ndidi simply concentrate on his club career. I don't see what he brings to the table now. His presence limits our ability to dominate the midfield due to his lack of ball-playing skills. When you have Ajayi and Ndidi on a team, it makes it very difficult to play smooth football due to the fact that both of these players simply cannot manipulate the football.

I am also still shocked that nobody on this message board has said anything about the stinker Ademola Lookman has dropped this window. Ademola Lookman was as bad as any player on the field in Uyo and in today's game. I cannot wait for the arrival of Femi Azeez, Yohanna, and the young German kid, Onyeka. Ademola Lookman needs to earn his place in the supereagles. Performances from him like he did this window should have him warming the bench next to Eric Chelle for a while. I have never seen or spoken to any African out here in the states that really see Lookman as an elite player. Most of them simply view him as a good player, and I am beginning to see why. How can I really view you as a world-class player when you are a NO SHOW for Nigeria on games that involved world powers like Losotho, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Benin, Rwanda, Madagascar, and Guinea-Bissau

Finally, If you have a high IQ and you can logically think, it will make absolutely zero sense to you why a goalkeeper who could not find a club even in Tanzania should be benching a goalkeeper who is a starter for a mid-table Serie A team, and Juventus and Inter Milan made an inquiry on him this offseason.

Amedino99:
This is the worst performance i have ever seen under chelle. Pitch takes like 50% of the blame but simon overhitting a simple cross was too much for me to watch. There was even a play where we got of the ball via a stray pass from the guineans, 2 on 2 and the goat on the ball (usor or tolu) failed to do a simple forward pass and passed to the defender instead. It was as if the match was an audition of who can play the most rubb*sh and all our players were willing participants.

All my anger is now out..its calm. We already missed the world cup, male and female. We are fine, missing Afcon wont be any different. We look forward to the russia and November games.

minsfelix2:
Except some massive turn around is done, walai Chelle has really dented the love many has for him with this shambolic display...3-0 is too much from a Minnow, he has shattered the little hope Nigerians we're beginning to have for super eagles walai... Except he beats Tanzania home and away mercilessly before people can love him again

SymphonyRad:
We're talking about phasing out that aging midfield and you still have hope that we will go anywhere with an Iwobi and Ndidi midfield? Are Nigerians naturally scared of trying new ideas? I mean look at your government, it's a reflection of the psyche I see here...always recycling old deadweights. What's wrong in calling up new and younger midfielders and just giving them a chance?

SolaFide:
In the future

Aside Iwobi

Ndidi, Onyeka and Onyedika have no business donning the green and white green

We need a total overhaul in midfield.

Ndidi is a tired war horse.
Onyeka reminds me of Esiti, Fegor Ogude.
Onyedika is not SE material.

We can still manage Alhassan in midfield.

joelsteron:
Nwabali lacks awareness. No bias, but Okoye should not be on the bench.

As for the midfield, Chelle needs to rethink it. We don't have the personnel to keep forcing the same setup. Onyeka isn't the answer to everything, Ndidi looks tired, and Iwobi shouldn't be our deep-lying playmaker.

We need someone who can actually control the tempo and move the ball forward.

Odunayaw:
🤣you people

elyte89:
Onyedika has shown several times dt he’s far from been ready to dislodge a weak ndidi …as bad as ndidi is ,I will always start him over onyedika..dt morrocan match sealed onyedika s fate..dt was d perfect match to seal ndidi to permanent bench role but he failed woefully

TheSuperNerd:
Ilenikhena is the only one from the Saudi league and we did not recruit him for what he is doing now in the Saudi League. We recruited him for what he showed at ages 17 and 18 in Ligue 1, the UCL and in Belgium.

This was a chance for us to cap him and bring him home and we have done that.

He is the exception. More than anyone here, I want our lads in the best leagues but I also know how to apply context to certain invitations like Ilenikhena.

BlueRayDick:
On what grounds is the ref giving this Israeli player red card?

For all I know, that's a snooker celebration that players like Neywmar have done in the past without any card brandished by the ref.

Omo! Dem carry global politics and propaganda enter football big time!

Truidstarr:
I don't understand why you mentioned Lookman in the context of this conversation. Lookman was an U20 player for England Struggling for gametime at Everton. He came to Nigeria for a holiday, Ibadan to be precise, he was mobbed by a huge crowd who showed him lots of love. Thats when his decisison to represent Nigeria was made for him.

Papi85:
JUST IN: Maduka Okoye is reportedly expected to arrive in camp anytime soon.

The Super Eagles goalkeeper is on his way to join the team in Uyo.

Subzero047:
He was obviously waiting for France, when he saw he had no chance he came crawling back

BlueRayDick:
You get. We've not been playing badly this season at all, that Brighton match is like our worse performance in ages. I'm sure it's a performance the players and the coaching staff want to quickly put behind their backs .

As good as our defenders are, they also need to take away lessons from that Brighton game. By now they must have realised that even though David Raya is the best shot stopper in the league, he is still human Afterall. A well drilled shot will beat him sooner or later when the defense don't close down opponents well enough and allow them luxury of picking their angle.

Rice & Bruno Guimaraes partnership lack that fluidity that we've been enjoying in the middle since the start of season. Whatever needs to give, I want to believe Arteta will either find a way for their partnership to work or drop one of them to the bench.

I also think Arteta needs to be make bold decisions when it comes to Saka's recent performance. We all know Saka is the face of Arsenal as far as home grown talent becoming a star is concerned, but sometimes Arteta needs to help him to help himself. I know with time Saka has proven then so far he is still on the pitch , he can always come up with new tricks from his hat, but it will not always work.

Arteta needs to start having thoughts of bringing on Dowman early to come up with magic on that Saka's wing. I don't rate Madueke and don't believe he would be our saviour on Saka's bad days, but I think Dowman has it in him. His performance in that match against Everton last season in the run-off to the title win has convinced me the boy can always bail us out on bad days.

How are we anywhere belle face?

We played excellently well against city, We played free flowing football against conventry city, we took Chelsea apart , We got the result despite spirited efforst by Sunderland and Napoli.

Brighton was the first bad game we had this season; it should serve as a learning curve and not reason to panic at all. It shouldn't lead us to start making it seem the team has been bad since the season started.

I'm Arteta and the boys would watch and re-watch clips of the Brighton game and see the phases of the match where they messed up. I'm sure they will work their way around the issues and come back stronger. I understand the fans are wary of City taking an early lead at the top of the log, but the good thing is it is just 3 points lead which can be reduced to zero in due time should we get our acts right on time.

I strongly believe we will turn the tide after the international break.

BlueRayDick:
I got a message this evening purportedly from FRSC informing me about a pending speed limit violation ( see attached Pix 1)

I clicked the link in the text message 99% sure it's a scam because the website domain name was obviously not .gov despite FRSC being a government agency.

The link led me to a page where I was required to input my vehicle reg number to confirm traffic violation status. As expected, they claimed I violated speed limit. They provided fields for me to input card details so they can debit me for ₦3,000 which is the official fine for my offence. (See Pix 2 & 3 attached).

I know this is definitely the handwork of some yahoo boys with coding skills trying to run local scam on unsuspecting Nigerians since e be like yahoo Don hard well well now.

I also know for a fact that the ₦3,000 fine is not the main target of the scammers but whatever balance is on the ATM card of hundreds of people who would be unfortunate enough to fill in their card details on the fake FRSC payment portal.

I say make I put this here to warn people who may not really be aware of this scam.

The whole thing is starting to look like tantrums

Google puts Nigeria's external debt as at 2016 to be $11 billion

It puts Anambra's debt to be $62 million

How can you say Obi borrowed $123 billion as at 2014? Anambra borrowed *10 of Nigeria's debt?

The funny thing is this Arsenal still needs reinforcements . A goalie, 2 defenders(RB and LCB), a midfielder (AM.. Nico Paz?) and two forwards (LW and a replacement for Brock Lesnar).

Finishing 2nd thrice no be beans. Those experiences would count surely. That's why it seems we're like the best team in EPL currently. Add that to the fact that Arteta is so smart and detailed. He said few days ago that he somehow incorporated unforseen issues (like late flight and so on) into the pre season activities so the players and staff would be able to cope if such issues come up during the season.
