Kwesi Appiah is the obvious choice but they will have to pay compensation to Sudan.

Realistically this sacking is ill advised what magic will happen in 70 days?

semid4lyfe:
An emotional reaction.

Heard from an egbon sports journalist that their FA is divided between appointing

1. Kwesi Appiah

or

2. Eric Sekou Chelle

Yep, his last rodeo.

The honest brutal truth whether anyone likes it or not it's only Atiku that has the financial clout and political cards right now to unseat BAT. With focused opposition politics you can easily point out the failings of the current government to rally people on your side unfortunately the selfish interest of too many politicians in the ADC will probably be their undoing next year.

GloriousGbola:
Atiku is already too old at 79

He will be 80 in 2027, 84 in 2031. it is now or never for him.

I just don't realistically see a party full of Atiku loyalists positioned strategically in the ADC's party hierarchy handing over the presidential ticket to anyone outside Atiku.

Kwankwaso is probably just trying to cement and grow his base ahead of 2031 like Raumdeuter said.

izzou:
If Atiku is coming out for 2027, then Kwankwaso wouldn't have joined, because ADC would struggle to field another Northerner in 2031.

I am just speculating, but the reason he went to ADC is probably because he has been assured of the ticket in 2031, and maybe Obi or Amaechi would get it in 2027.

I still believe that everyone who went to ADC knew what they were going to get.

I think it's Obi/Kwankwaso that they want to sell in 2027, but it's just an assumption though

Please accept my condolences. Take heart it is well.

Roland17:
The past month has been an incredibly difficult period for me and my family. Nigeria happened to a beloved and close member of the family and this one hit really hard.

I am still struggling to reconcile the harsh reality that she is gone. Imagine speaking over the phone with someone one day after something that brought extreme joy to the entire family and 2 days later the person is gone. The entire family is devasted and the pain no be here.

A very big thanks to everyone who reached out, I no fit mention everybody, including those who left mentions on the forum, I am really grateful. Once again, death puts a lot of things in perspective for me. Life is too short, do the best you can and find happiness in little things.

Onwu di njo!

He hide tactics sotey them sack am.

Karlovych:
Maybe he's hiding his tactics, he will show us the real Ghana at the tournament itself

Addo is a very lucky coach in that his team the black stars hit form at the right time during the WC qualifiers. Had Ghana qualified for the AFCON they would absolutely have been thrashed which would have led to Otto's sack.

Even in 2022 when they advanced to the WC at our expense they got through on away goals which is no longer in use now, goalkeeping error on our part, and packing the bus basically.

jihday:
I know someone on this thread once said Addo is a very good coach

Ma binu God speed

izzou:
Why you no talk since?

I don buy motor finish

Chief unless you're very experienced in transport logistics game best invest your hard earned money in bonds, treasury bills, property and the likes.

izzou:
And I just want experiment for Transportation hustle


Make una no scare me nau

I think the issue most of us fans have is that at that age we want guys already showing promise not diamonds in the rough that need serious work.

"our talent pipeline is non-existent"

I'm sure you did all the vehicle tracker this and that forget Nigerians will still find a way to frustrate you.

raumdeuter:
One of my bosses at work in Naija I informed him that I was going to do trucking, he said he hasnt done trucking before but his friend who did commercial bus cried about it and had to sell the buses at scrap value

After my own experience he was like "I told you so"

Bro-in-Law tried it. Swore never again.

raumdeuter:
Logistics business is the fastest way to a heart attack and blood pressure

2 guys we go primary school together died within 6months of each other both were in Logistics business. One of them used to stay overnight monitoring his fleets through tracker one morning his wife woke up to find him slumped over his laptop dead.

Me sef don try trucking before for Naija. The only benefit was that I knew all the lungu inside Nigeria when trailer go abandon truck for Ido ani, 2 weeks later say trailer get problem for Kaduna road, etc.

I've heard finance bros say strengthening the Naira too drastically is a no no. That once you do that FPI that people were using to make a killing in your FX market will just japa with their dollars. FDIs is still the goal but is there a realistic way Wale Edun and co could have done that in 3 years? Honestly, I don't know.

I hear exporters are currently happy with the 1400-1500 our currency is at which is another angle why the Naira may not have strengthened further.

The foreign investment lady Mrs. Oduwole is working overtime so with the women in the Petroleum industry to unlock more investment but you're 100% right more needs to be done.

That said the Governors have some fiscal room to play with the subsidy removal. What are they doing?

larride:
If those in charge of fiscal policy (Wale Edun n co) have done 50% of what Cardoso and his monetary policy team have done, the naira would've gained and stabilize around 1100. This would've made it easier to do a "subsidy is gone on power" after swearing in in 2027.

The fiscal policy team has been a total failure. Tinubu dropped the ball big time.

They are just wasting all the good work of the monetary policy team.

Ah

iamoyindamola:
Puma released Ghana WC jersey with 9ja song
Everywhere dan burst

Everybody is afraid to bell the cat of totally removing power subsidy (understandably). Unfortunately no one will invest in an industry that has price caps on services.

raumdeuter:
Maybe Power issues go beyond the person sitting on the chair of a minister

If you're talking about power yes but in terms of Works it was under his watch Second Niger Bridge was built and Lagos Ibadan fixed.

GloriousGbola:
Fashola was a fantastic governor and a mediocre minister.

For all of adelabus pedigree all he has done is warm the seat as minister.

We have sha seen his compatriot from pwc successfully push tax reform.

Maybe they clipped the video, but if not this is not how you build a states income.

How far with Akin Alabi? Could he become Senator next year?

raumdeuter:
I did not support Wike when he contested twice in Rivers even though I am not from Rivers. For example I did not support Adeleke when he contested, I did not support Obanikoro when he contested, I did not support Teslim Folarin when he contested

Actually I would criticize the abuse of the federal character system not make it a personalized attack on individuals like Charlie Kirk did.

The women who Kirk judged harshly did they prove themselves to be incompetent like he insinuated?

I get one being critical of a system but using it as a smokescreen to attack your perceived political opponents is disingenuous. Why didn't he use Dr. Ben Carson who had a just above average college score as an example or his muscle was only strong for black females?

raumdeuter:
If we ask him chrisooblog about what he thinks about Northerners in Nigeria benefitting and getting placed into top govt position due to quota system

Do you think its good for Nigeria that some people have a lower standards to get into positions?

When you get to a top position say NNPC and see a Hausa person what does your mind first go to? Maybe that this guy is not qualified and only got there because he was from the North. In some cases you might actually find out that this Northern man was a smart guy who went to Unilag UI IFe Nsukka Zaria and came tops like Prof Jubril Aminu

Imagine you got to a surgeon table and see Doctor Abubakar Audu from Yobe state, maybe something will whisper in your mind that Are you sure this guy will know what he is doing?

You see that what was designed to help Northeners now became an albatross on the smart ones where everyone now doubt their abilities

Here you go but I'm not expecting you to be convinced.

You'll probably spin it to say he was taken out of context.

raumdeuter:
Bring the video out so we can both listen to it and make our independent assessment not what peoples interpretation

Go figure considering where England later finished.

If we could endure borefest like the 1990 and 2002 WCs then he should zip it about the 2010 WC.

semid4lyfe:
"You are not getting a worse world cup than South Africa in 2010. That tournament never felt like a world cup" - Wayne Rooney (TheOverlap podcast).

Why e no talk am before now? Is this opinion shaped and influenced by CAF's decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 AFCON and award it to Morocco?

Kirk questioned the qualifications and competency of Michelle and the Judge implying they were DEI beneficiaries which could have potentially harmed their careers and financial wellbeing. Mind you this was unprovoked dragging that they didn't do anything to deserve from Kirk.

Mueller on the other hand rightly questioned the link that Trump had with Russia which is a potential national security issue.

Nobody is saying that Trump should deliver an eulogy at the man's funeral but will a dignified silence kill anyone?

Anyways Trump has sent the precedence so no one should cry about how Dem/Libs are sick, retarded blah blah blah if someone decides metaphorically and literally to piss on his grave.

raumdeuter:
How did Kirk attack Michelle and that Judge? Did he seek to cause them harm like Trump said Mueller did for him
Mueller was a veteran who served the US. Yes then when a veteran tries to cause you harm. Some people will harbor personal beef against him

The office of the presidency has been attached to several things that are traditions but not laws. There are people who do differently

Most govt officials are expected to dress formally, There is a Senator in the US which we have discussed here Fetterman who wears hoodie and shorts to the office

Are you voting a president to implement policies or to say nice things about people he doesnt like

Like I said I wont do it, its not my own style just like I wont hand things to anyone with my left hand

Trump is a President. He represents an office that good or bad is highly respected and shouldn't be seen saying or issuing statements like a social media banger boy.

Mueller like him or hate was a Vietnam vet who served his country meritoriously across administrations of different parties.

Kirk attacked Michelle Obama and one Supreme Court Justice (can't remember her name now) yet both of them didn't publicly gloat as his death.

raumdeuter:
While I dont approve

Many people do it. Trump felt Mueller tried to do him personal harm

Many celebrated Kirk death even though they never met him

Truth is really funny gloating over the death of the former FBI Director like he won't die one day

In all of this Republicans are definitely getting walloped in the midterms.

Let's flip this argument if it was Okoye.

In essence, you're saying we should condone Okoye's new style of choosing which matches and competitions to show up for?

Wow! What a way to improve the team. 👍

Abi no be so?

ChrisKels:
In essence, you are saying we should condone Osimhen's new style of coming to camp behind schedules?

Wow! What a way to improve the team. 👍

DissTroy:
There's still no Nigeria song which will have you standing in front of a mirror using your right hand finger tips to dust off imaginary dust from your left shoulder blade while yelling "hey!", "hey!" like Naeto C's catalogue.

"Ako Mi Ti Poju", for example.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwPXV8V5pcs?si=vRIfTBBEk3EBw9SI

Like :

Ako Ako Ako Ako mi ti poju (hey!)
Ako mi ti poju (hey!)
Ako mi ti poju (yes, boss!)
Ako mi ti poju (serious music!).

Naeto was phenomenal.

Be away for a day wetin I miss?

On the FIFA ruling no matter the shortcomings of the NFF I support seeing the case to its logical conclusion at CAS. At least let's once and for all establish the true parameters for eligibility and switching to another country notwithstanding the final outcome.

On the pitch we lost out fair and square however rules are rules and it's within our rights to establish if according to FIFA Statutes that the letter of the law was followed.

As for CAF the less about that disgrace of an organization the better. Fully expect CAS to throw that disgusting ruling into the dustbin.

Happy Birthday Doc!

God bless!

TheSuperNerd:
Hi Great Thread of Nigerian Football, it is indeed a good day to be alive and be excited for what 2026 still promises.

Today is My Birthday and I want to remind everyone out there not to give up on whatever their dreams, aims, aspirations, project pursuits, goals, etc are.
Victor Osimhen did not and look at him today and his story is still not done. John Mikel Obi did not and now he is a bonafide Nigerian legend. Rashidi "Rasheed" Yekini did not and he remains the one of the pinnacles among African Strikers today.


Lastly, on a flip note, Elyte89 is still not giving up on his Super Eagles job dream despite we all knowing how impossible it is and he is also not giving up on Nigeria heading to USCAMEX 2026 World Cup, so honestly what excuse you get?

Cheers to me and Cheers to us all.... God Bless You.

0:37 The harvest from that Aura Farm will feed generations

Amazing pop for Oba.

Hope he and Brock engineer a legendary Mania match to equal this impressive build up.

Mustafi, Holding, and Senderos the unholy trinity of defensive disaster classes. Chai how we managed to consistently be top six with these Arsenal Defenders Hall of Shame candidates is a minor miracle.

BlueRayDick:
Looking at that Gabriel's block vs Leverkusen and that Calafiori's block vs Everton yesterday, I see boys who are hungry for glory and currently playing their heart out to secure the league at all cost. They are willing to throw their body on the line.

Then I remember we used to parade players like Senderos,Sylvester,Djourou,Gallas,Koscielny,Vermaelen,Squilacci,Paulista,Mertesacker,Mustafi,Sokratis ,Holding,Chambers,David Luiz etc as our defenders in the past.

Omo! We have really come a long way o.

I'm surprised Mikel never talk say Arsenal dey do child labour for 16-year-old to play and score.

[quote author=mostob post=138775375][/quote]

If you're talking league form yes I get the logic, but in terms of how the SE plays Moffi is a better fit for our set up as it currently stands and is why he will be ahead of Onuachu in the pecking order.

lbrichman2:
Hmm
I think it's Onuachu before Moffi as it stands now
