In South Africa he would be a coloured but that's irrelevant

Just because he's black doesn't make him Kenyan he has Kenyan heritage, and that's pretty much it. He ain't Kenyan though!

In Nigeria we call it attach by force aka glory hog

Lol reminds me how they marketed Lagerback that year, claiming he knows our players in and out, because he came with power

House,Outside nwakali argument, my wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy(Bilal)
my first child. Alhamdulillah.

congrats bro may he grow in God's grace and favor. Trust madam is doing well regards to everyone.

It's the confident assertions without proof that gets me. It will be like saying Ndah is currently the best defender in the SE when nothing remotely suggests such.

elyte89:
Nwakali needs to b seen first playing b4 u can place him as important... Person wey we Neva c

Even Nwakali you're foaming in the mouth over hasn't done anything of note for Nigeria apart from u17.

U23 where he captained he flopped very well and that is closest to senior football. If you're going to use Atletico friendly of proof of Nwakali's "quality" please don't also forget to mention Usman Mohammed who scored a spectacular goal dribbling the Atletico defense anyhow.

Ndidi and Nwakali don't even play the same position yet you are always picking on Wilfred like he's the one blocking Kelechi's destiny.

IDENNAA:
For this last fuccking time , I dont give a rat asss what Ndidi do at his club if he continued to flop with SE. What joy do you derive from his English rating ? The whole point is to see SE play beautiful football even if they didn't win , thats my interest, sir! Stop telling me his ratings in Europe.

Ndidi is ranked one of the best DM in EPL if not world football, Nwakali is not even rated best player in second division Huesca.

Wilfred a DM playing in the most competitive leagues has more career goals than our 'prodigy' who plays mostly in lower division. Even has more assists.

Chairman abeg rest.

IDENNAA:
Please , I know we are "all smart" here , so , let's us act like it.

Now , since Ndidi started turning up for Leicester what has he brought to the Eagles ? Answer is NOTHING! The guy is a failure with SE and even cost us a nation's cup glory. Open your eyes and stop pretending like you don't know Ndidi brings nothing to the table.

With Nwakali , even when he was unfit and played for Eagles...you could see what he is capable of doing. Yes , he has not being lucky with club football, but so are many great players , who are stuck in lowly rated clubs.

Take Awaziem for instance , he deserve better.

Another example is Wilfred Zaha who we all know is better that the guy Man City signed from Aston Villa for 100 million...but look at his performance. Sometimes , your performance at your club boils down to many factors.

Nwakali has been playing and remained consistent in his showing and if we are lacking in midfield then he deserve a bleeping invitation, for goodness sake. Your midfield has suffered because you don't have creative players , but you don't want to try something different and invite Nwakali....what is the sense in that ?

My brother no be juju be that? because how someone played an entire year without a goal and assist yet is regarded as the best set-piece taker is beyond mind boggling.

I've seen hype but this one no be ordinary eye.

andrewbaba44:
Nwakali agent and hype men I carry hand for una

Even mwakali will be surprised by seeing what you guys are saying about him ,instead of you guys to allow him perform first af afcon then you can drop a little hype for him but una no gree ,sotay una talk say him better pass Aribo

E remain to give una one small Toyota Corolla with mic and 2 big speakers make una Dey drive all over naija Dey hype nwakali for us

Smh

True but they are still formidable opposition. England had to pull out all the stops to beat them not forgetting some wayward finishing from Muller.

jihday:
in terms of player quality they aren’t what they used to be these days

Kai yes hasn't delivered as expected considering his huge price tag, but he has shown glimpses here and there. You won't get regular call ups from the Mannshaft if you are not quality. Chelsea could cut their losses, but past experiences with KDB and Salah should make them hold on.

andrewbaba44:
Harvetz already looking like a flop

Komekn should be right on this one

komekn:
You can talk utter balderdash and If I question you on details you will go missing. But let's see if the leopard can Indeed change his spots.

Kai Havertz has played 16 games in the EPL this season and scored 2 goals, last season 27 games and 4 goals , he has been played as a striker he cost £72 million. Him and Timo Werner were supposed to be better than Tega Abraham. But alas both of them flopped he cost £50 million. This is the quintessential definition of a player who has flopped. Nationaliyy had nothing to do with it.

Now tell me the innit boys as you call them in your SHAMELESS bigoted double standard bigotry and quasi tribalism.

Who l have hyped here, I challenge you to name just three.

Flop scored the winning goal for Chelsea in UCL final while Abraham was doing supporters club from the bench. After baba God Tammy should be calling Kai everyday to thank him that he has champions league winner attached to his CV.

komekn:
I expected to see the other Ayew brother Andre.

Andre is probably thier best AM and he is true consistent quality, can't understand his exclusion.

he's there check under wingers

BlueMann:
The reviews I saw on a thread on NL front page don dissuade me. Since I haven't watched part 1, I won't even bother.

How the Naija Christmas?

Naija Christmas is okish. Not winning any movie awards anytime soon but it will do.

BlueMann:
Be like I no go bother check out this Chief Daddy 2 movie...the reviews I'm seeing are some of the worst I've ever seen.

I no even watch part 1 sef

Unless you want to watch it sentimentally to support the Nigerian movie industry, it will be an absolute waste of data.

andrewbaba44:
Even at Chelsea thread people see something wrong in shehu abdulahi making the team at first ,but someone here was saying we don’t like the guy because he was playing at Cyprus ,ask yourself what does that guy offers that others RB can’t ?

It’s the way nobody is talking about omeruo like it’s his birth right to always make the super eagles squad

My afcon line up and formation below 4-2-3-1
GK: Maduka

RB-Ola Aina CB-Ekong CB-Balogun LB- Sanusi


Onyeka. Ndidi

RW: Chukwueze AM: Joe Aribo LW: Ejuke

CF: Taiwo Awoniyi

Awaziem or ajayi can come in for any of the CB as I have no problem with that

Iheanacho or iwobi can come in for Aribo ,iheanacho can also come in for the CF and even iwobi can come in for the wingers

Sadiq umar and ighalo are also good options from the bench ,not as starters for me

If sanusi and aina are failing with their job ,we still have Ebuehi and Collins ,Collins is not that bad as people here thinks

I don’t know what I will do with Ahmed musa Moses Simon or onyekuru ,any of them might just surprise me but as a coach none of these players will come into the field till the 80th minutes of the game

I don’t have much to say about nwakali ,maybe he can come in for onyeka later in the game

I am going with Maduka since he is playing in a better league and he is regular ,I don’t really trust him though and I don’t think uzoho has played much this season

This is my opinion and I believe this is 80 percent our best line up ,I know the coach will be different sha .

Balogun is out of the AFCON. Can Ndidi and Onyeka function together?

safarigirl:
In the spirit of New Year Celebrations, Netflix was thoughtful enough to kick off 2022 with a second part to the highly grossing movie, Chief Daddy 2.

This movie is basically a continuation of Chief Daddy, a movie about a rather large family dealing with their internal conflicts at the death of the family's Patriarch, a man fondly called 'Chief Daddy'

Now, at the end of Part 1, there is an introduction of a new character. This character, who, we learn is named Laila at the beginning of Part 2, is played by Rahama Sadau.

Contrary to our collective expectations though, the inclusion of this new character, does not add any sort of depth to the storyline in the part 2.

Now, if you recall, the first part of Chief Daddy, comes to an end with the declaration that contrary to the expectations of the rather greedy members of the Beecroft family, they will not receive their shares of Chief Daddy's property just because they made nice with each other. In fact, there doesn't seem to be shares to be redeemed, something about an IPO and a Company takeover, I won't bore you with the technicalities.

Anyway, the second part begins with Laila, another estranged child of the dedicated philanderer, Chief Daddy, informing the rest of his family, that she will be taking charge of the company, as the rest of them are simply not competent enough.

Where did Laila appear from? We don't know. How did we get to this scene? We're still not sure....however, we at least know, that Laila's mother is named Maryamu, and she does not hold the status of 'legally married wife to the Chief'. That is all the information we need.

Laila is presented to us as something of the antagonist in this movie, so, ideally, the storyline should focus on her constantly sabotaging the rest of the family and the rest of them trying to overcome her as a team, right?

Wrong. See, for the 1h 35minutes duration of the movie, we only see Laila tap into her antagonist nature a couple of times, and the moments are so fleeting, so sudden even, it neither brings with it any shock or suspense value. It's just a scene.

As we are introduced to Laila, we are also introduced to a character we assume is her right-hand man at first, Prince Sonny (Uzor Arukwe). I am happy to let you all know that we do not see him betray her trust, we do not see him take advantage of his relationship with sisters Tinu and Teni, who are smitten by him, to supply her any shady information about the Beecroft family. In fact, he might have as well not been introduced alongside her, because there is barely any interaction between them after the first scene.

But far be it that Prince Sonny is the most unnecessary character in this movie, because we are still being haunted by Joro (Nedu Wazobia) and Chuchu (Chigurl), the clueless Event Planners from Chief Daddy 1.

I can go on all day, but let me state my main issues with this movie, beyond what has been mentioned already:


1. One of my main grouse with the Part 1 of Chief Daddy was a lack of story development, especially as regards the romance of Dammy and Adaora, the Part 2 only got worse on that front. Very poor story development. I compared it to a work done by 10 different writers, none of whom consulted each other. They just brought together their individual pieces and made a movie that simply didn't flow.

2. I would like to thank Dubai and the UAE for always coming through for Nollywood whenever they want to give us a little razzle dazzle so we barely notice a poor plotline, but it simply did not work this time. Dubai was unnecessary, but let us excuse it, based on possible MoUs signed. It was, however, not the only unnecessary part in this movie.


3. This one is special, because it is the second time EbonyLife has done this thing and we must call it out. WHY MUST YOU CARRY OVER A DISPENSABLE CHARACTER FROM PART 1 TO PART 2 OF A MOVIE?
Recall that in The Wedding Party 2, we had to deal with Saka's character once again at the airport, trying to board a flight he did not book, for a wedding he was not invited to, as if trying to stir up memories of when he crashed the wedding in Part 1. We also had to witness the MC from Wedding Party 1, played by AY, engage in a tussle for MC Supremacy in The Wedding Party 2, even though the second wedding was all the way in Dubai.
Now, in Chief Daddy 2, Joro and Chuchu, both of who planned the memorial party in Chief Daddy 1, have returned as Planners for the wedding of a supposedly rich and affluent superstar footballer, Dammy Baggio (Mawuli Gavor). Why? How? If he is as wealthy as his character is portrayed to be, how realistic is it, that he would put his wedding planning in the hands of these Bend-down-select event planners?
Were they necessary? No. Did they need to be carried over? No. Did they add to story development? No. Did they add to comic value? Not at all. Yet, here we are.

On a positive note, the setting was nice, from Lagos to London and Dubai, lighting was great, sound was awesome, music score was decent. There was heavy usage of Falz The Bahd Guy's tracks; they may have killed two birds with a stone by using a lead actor's music, possibly to sort some copyright issues. Very smart move in production. The general acting was decent. The script was as underwhelming as the plotline. No quotable quotes, no witty words. It gave nothing.


To be honest, if you haven't watched Part 1, good for you. Don't bother. If you have, and you wish to watch Part 2 either for curiosity or to fulfill all righteousness, make sure you use Free wifi, or someone else's data. It will hurt less.

Overall Rating: 4.5/10.

Please, if you've seen the movie. What are your thoughts and ratings?

Nice write up. The issues you noted are not even up to half to what is wrong with this movie, from very poor writing to lack of character development. Your ratings of the movie were really generous, for such an ensemble cast the script should have been better.

I hear you bro but my criticism of Ndidi's game in the GWG is with the belief he can do more.

Is it to much to ask him make accurate long balls once in a while to KC in the SE like he does with Leicester? Even his tackling stats and interceptions look to be lower with the national team in comparison with his club side. If you have stats that say otherwise I will gladly withdraw my assertion.

If an experienced coach like Eguavoen who has also played the game says he feels Ndidi is holding back that should tell you something.

Ndidi is our best DM but he can be much more, that's my argument.

charlesemeka85:
I don’t really know what you guys expect from ndidi in the super eagles

Dude for crying out loud is a dm and in that particular position carries out his duties and responsibilities very well

Are you expecting him to turn to a jay jay, dance around the park and score hattricks with dozen of assist in each game? Abi u Dey expect am to be a yekini who ought to have atleast 20 goals for the team so far? Or expecting him to be a mikel who should detect the teams transition from midfield to attack?

Ndidi is an out to out dm and a destroyer and is high time you guys let the guy me

The oliseh we today still rate as the best dm ever in the national team had only a goal and few assist during his time

Nawaooo!

like a ship bro

Napoleon55:
Na cruise?

Heard Onyekuru is in camp no be serious human being be that unlike our reincarnation of Pirlo/Modric/Kross in one body that is still flexing somewhere.

Modified: Seems Huesca has a game tomorrow but how come Umar that plays in the same Segunda is in camp?

Nah I don't agree bro.

Shehu is criticized because he doesn't add anything extra to our team unlike Aina and Ebuehi who we feel are younger and better in the RB position. IMHO Abdullahi has tried in the past but he doesn't have the attacking and defensive dynamism of Ola and Tyrone.

Wilfred on the other hand has to show more in the SE. The qualities he's shown while playing for Leicester makes me believe he can do more. The only game off the top of my head he impressed me in was against Guinea at the last AFCON. Ndidi always gives 6/10 performances in the national team when he can actually drop 8/10 judging by his ability. So I don't think it's because of stats that we say he's not doing enough.

JohnBullMySon:
Shehu is criticized here because 90% of people here judge by club and league. They feel that Shehu's club makes him unfit for the Super eagles. If Shehu were to sign for an EPL club this January, you'll be suprised on how quickly the whole talk will sway the other side.

As for Ndidi. I very much disgree with you. In terms of tackling and dispossesion which is what he is known for in the EPL, he has performed almost at the same level in the SE. The only reason why it looks otherwise is because there are no football analysts in Nigeria that track his performances in our matches. Games that even televising properly is a struggle, with poor uninformed commentary. Bring EPL analysts to track his game and show his stats, you'll be surprised on how much work he does. Dude is a silent 24hr power generator. If not for EPL analysts, you may not even notice how good he is, especially if you only have eyes for attackers.

Posted without comment. Happy New Year everyone

My good Captain long time chief hope you're keeping safe and well.

Bros when no be say them dey use ship come from Europe. Plus everybody was aware when camp would open and plan accordingly.

CaptainStephen:
Guys international travel is not easy these days nah

Make una dey calm down nah

charlesemeka85:
over super star Dey worry am

honestly someone that should have even be opening Gate for his teammates to enter camp is still doing senior man levels. Anyway let me not talk too much. God willing we will soon see how he performs at the tournament.

Happy New Year my people. Wish all of us a blessed and joyous year for all of us. I pray all our national teams will succeed and bring joy to all of us supporters this year amen. PS also let There Be less violence on this thread lol

It's ok baba. Let it slide

andrewbaba44:
Smh

Poor demented kid

Guy what is this na? on top football? Haba na!

It's ok chill alright life is not serious like that.

Please we are about to enter a new year let's all leave negative energy behind ok? Peace

PurpleHouse:
Na Ogun go kill you. Convotion go hold you for trafic as you wan cross road. Thunder fire you.

I specifically warned that no one should ever use emotion in response to me again. You dey crase.

Rohr has sha been sacked if that is what was doing him.

do4luv14:
why should he be axed from future games, he recent attitude towards the SE call-up, is as a result of Rohr,


you invites a player struggling to put down a starting shirt, yet you refuse to play him, then stop calling him, And it toke an outburst from fans to include him in the 40man list,

bros what did that tells you

If he really made that request then dude is seriously capping.

I appreciate Dennis's talent and I would like him to be in the team but dude hasn't done anything yet in the national team to be making such demands for assurance.

Even Ibrahimovic whose ego is the size of Jupiter has a great track record, so when he makes demands you know he can back it up.

Emmanuel needs to be careful to not make himself the infant terrible of football. You fight club, you fight national team is not something you should be proud to have on your CV.

Las Las players like Cantona, Roy Keane and Redondo were great but we all know what poor attitude caused them with their national teams.

ChrisKels:
When you ain't treated like everyone else, there is always a need to ask for assurances especially when you appreciate your value.

If Rohr had invited him when he invited others, Dennis wouldn't ask for assurances, if actually he did ask for one.

That's the bottom line.

Joebie:
Make una leave Dennis matter. He is indifferent.

That may be true but if Dennis insisted and kicked up a storm would they be able to deny him going to the AFCON? Mikel that Chelsea had a right not to release for the 2016 Rio Olympics they hands off when John Obi insisted on going.

As incompetent as the NFF might be I don't know if they have broken any FIFA statues as regards request for release of players for international tournaments.

NFF are still within their rights to be petty and invoke the FIFA rule of not allowing Dennis to play as long as the AFCON is on. However I think the football authorities feel Emmanuel himself isn't all that committed so why raise drama over someone who isn't himself bothered.

ChrisKels:
That is not true. Dennis was never invited when others were invited, what informed his inclusion in the already made list was his recent form, that is the only reason Watford was able to withhold him, that is the only reason NFF can't do nothing about it. You are not a dumbo, so you should know that the NFF will have a case to make if the invites were sent same period Ekong's was sent. Use your head.

Still doesn't make sense are we saying Ekong and Dennis didn't get their invites from the email on the same day?

elyte89:
U wear bra for eye

Didn't u c his name in d published 40man list?

D problem with our football is administration.. Rohr has submitted dis list almost two month now b4 his dismissal.. Y did NFF failed to notify those clubs b4 now?...dey waited till die minute..they av to b blamed ,

His name is there I and a few other people posted the names and link here some days ago. Unless Dennis is really injured then Watford is trying to play a fast one. How can two of your players be called up and you only have issues with one of them

12large1:
Maybe Dennis name wasn’t included in Rohr original 37 man list

Heard the Leicester City game on New Year's Day has been suspended. Hopefully Wilfred and KC should arrive camp a little bit earlier
