What Sahel is to Northern Nigeria because of the few Hausa there is what Benin, Togo and Ghana is to western Nigeria because of the few Yoruba there

Nope.

SW has borders and does verification on people entering from the SW borders.

Northern Nigeria has zero borders and does not carry out verification on who enters through northern Nigeria.

lawani:
There are Yoruba towns from Benin republic to Ghana. How many of them do you see here as refugees?. One, their population is low then their country is better run

You're changing mouth..

you said sahel not Benin or Ghana..

Sahel countries have bad economies and their population are currently migrating into Nigeria, Ghana, Benin republic e.t.c...

stop deflecting..

lawani:
I am not saying they are not here but people over state it. They don't have the population to be an issue.

Don't you think any country with stable power in their cities, no bandits, no over paid politicians and etc is better run than Nigeria?

they have the population to cause several issues...

there is no border between Nigeria and Niger republic and also no border between Nigeria and Chad..

Niger republic and Chad can free criminals from their prisons and dump them at the Nigeria border and the criminals will stroll into Nigeria without any Nigerian agency questioning them because the northern Nigeria state government will see them as northern Nigerians and protect them and give them NIN, BVN e.t.c....

China's internal migration policy is called the hukou system. If we had this system in Nigeria, we wouldn't have the land grab problem that is prevalent in the Middle-belt, or Fulani herders creating havoc across the country. It will also force the state to invest in social, education and health development.

The reason for so much internal migration in Nigeria today is insecurity in Northern Nigeria. Soon, migrants from Darfur, Chad, Niger, and Mali will be coming to the SW due to insecurity in the Sahel.

people from Niger republic have been migrating to Lagos since 90s...

the people you call "northerners" in Lagos and some other southern states are from niger republic...

they are not Nigerians... and are meant to be deported by immigration officers.

who do you think the u:S:a will use to launch attacks in defense of christians

it is the illegal immigrants from Niger republic they will use..

just watch, there will soon be attacks on religious places in Lagos then the U:S will strike Lagos then destroy dangote refinery.

Guestmale:
This is a real tickling time bomb,I just pray South West governments will come together irrespective of their political affiliation to put up formidable security architecture guard it against these marauders.

Also every peace loving south westerners must reject the idea of establishing sharia law in the region under any guise. Sharia law is the bedrock of instabilities in the northern region.

As long as muric is in SW..

there will always be a push for sharia law..

but that may not be needed since the u:s:a wants to strike Lagos.

who do you think the u:S:a will use to launch attacks in defense of christians

it is the illegal immigrants from Niger republic, chad and sudan they will use..

just watch, there will soon be attacks on religious places in Lagos then the U:S will strike Lagos then destroy dangote refinery.

IS THE MIGRATION FROM ATLANTIC OCEAN BECAUSE IF IT IS FROM OUR COUNTRY, THEN U MUST HAVE SMOKE THAT LALA STUFF AGAIN BEFORE GOING ON MIC.


GBENGA STOP SMOKING LALA

northern Nigerians do not migrate to southern Nigeria.

sonnie10:
There is nothing like migration within the confines of a country. The constitution is very clear on that. Every Nigerian is free to live and work in any part of the country. We can’t make the constitution a proclamation of convenience. The one Nigeria under one constitution has always been the guiding principle. SW does not operate a different system and the discussion of the effect of migration on the region by itself is speaking on both sides of the mouth.

the people you call "northerners" in Lagos and some other southern states are from niger republic, Chad and Sudan...

they are not Nigerians... and are meant to be deported by immigration officers.

northern Nigerians do not migrate to southern Nigeria.

MakindeHassan:
The solution is for the government to spread development to other regions and encourage more companies to have their HQ outside Lagos. NLNG is an example in Rivers State. So many companies that have nothing to do with finance have their HQ in Lagos. Thank God for Abuja if not Lagos population you are complaining about would have been double.

This is 2025 with technology, some people in Nigeria work remotely for companies in US and Europe. Any job that doesn’t need physical presence should allow their staff to work remotely so they can live in other states where cost of living is cheaper and their salaries will have more value. Their spending will boost local economy of these states. As more people earn in these other states they will spend their money and it will trickle down to the common man who wouldn’t need to migrate to Lagos to make a living.

I laugh when I see companies talking about climate change and reducing carbon emissions meanwhile they make their staff come to work everyday, 2 hours in traffic burning fuel and congesting the road when they can perform from home.

what the federal government has built in Lagos is also available in other states..

federal universities, federal polytechnics, federal secondary schools, federal primary schools, federal hospitals, federal customs immigration offices, federal airports, other federal agencies, federal roads, military colleges, Police colleges, police stations, military barracks, Navy e.t.c

state governments also have their own universities, polytechnics, secondary schools, primary schools, hospitals, state airports e.t.c..

it is the private businesses in Lagos which is mostly YORUBA owned that makes Lagos thrive..

the FG cannot force Yoruba people to move their private businesses out of their own Yoruba region..

Let other tribes to create businesses in their own states..


there is no government in Nigeria..

Mandate1:
influx of foreigners? So northerners are foreigners? LAGOS was the concentration hub of federal resources and investment for years, it's normal for more Nigerians to migrate to Lagos and states around Lagos.

the people you call "northerners" in Lagos and some other southern states are from niger republic...

they are not Nigerians... and are meant to be deported by immigration officers.

northern Nigerians do not migrate to southern Nigeria.

lawani:
Northerners come mainly during their dry season. They always return to the North to farm but whenever they are around they are always all over the place.
They work and are potential tax payers.
SW should be around 55 million of Nigeria's 220 million.

the people you call "northerners" in Lagos and some other southern states are from niger republic...

they are not Nigerians... and are meant to be deported by immigration officers.

who do you think the u:S:a will use to launch attacks in defense of christians

it is the illegal immigrants from Niger republic they will use..

just watch, there will soon be attacks on religious places in Lagos then the U:S will strike Lagos then destroy dangote refinery.

lbrichman2:
I mean!!!
The match was demoralizing
When they came out for the 2nd half, they suddenly stopped pressing..
Na there my anger start..
Why did they stop pressing??

Didn't they learn anything from Osimhen?
The match pain me
Then think of Osimhen himself that did everything to get to team to where we were..

Sad

Osimhen is the main person that presses from the front.

Lookman presses sometimes.

the only other person that presses similar to Osimhen and is probably faster than Osimhen does not play for a big club and does not score goals like Osimhen is Olusegun..

Olusegun is the only player IN MY OPINION that should be coming on to replace Osimhen anytime Osimhen is subbed off regardless of the club he is playing for... his speed alone would help the SE against any team..

other players that may press are Gift Orban and Tella..

9JAMac10:
Please the federation should just go for an European coach preferably a Dutch or German coach . Clown Eric chelle blames Congolese voodoos for his teams inability to take adequate penalties hahahaha. Nigeria no need African or even Nigerian coach. Please get us a white coach

At worst SE needs a coach from Spain.

Ragingthunder:
I rest my case

Due to amateur errors.

SE is not filled with amateur players...

Put few players that press in the SE starting 11 and the SE will control the match then subbed in more pressing players.

Oasis007:
......I know emotion garnished with pain still dey our body but we need to tell ourselves the truth.

Only Osimhen and Benjamin deserve the shirt, to some extent, Bassey as well. Rest should go and focus on their club careers.

DRC deserve the slot, I said it before the match even got to PK. We were completely outplayed and tactically destroyed.

We weren’t given breathing space at all in the second half and extra time. They owned the game and deserve to progress.

...and Chelle is never an issue. Tactically he got it right, especially in the first half but execution is the problem.

He gave Lookman, Iwobi, and Chuks, freedom to roam and dictating the play but the team couldn’t convert chances that came up in the first half.

We too dey overrate these lads on this board. The earlier we accept Nigeria is parading very average players the better.


Some are claiming we have midfielders and Uche is being mentioned?! Same Uche that is glued to bench at Crystal Palace?!

We are parading bunch of bench warmers or players that their careers have nosedived, yet we expect them to play well?!

NFF should clear all their allowances, then free most of them. Chelle should be allowed to assemble a new team as soon as possible.

Chrisantus Uche is young and will press the opponents.

DRC did not deserve the slot, the SE handed the game to DRC by sitting back defending and not pressing them to force errors instead they were the ones pressing the SE players into committing errors..

SE lacks players that have the drive to press or it might be instructions from the coaches because this is how they have been playing since 2022...

it is rocket science to the SE to control and pass the ball in the opposition half...

Karlovych:
Exactly, I don't know why some fans are always looking for a scapegoat after every loss, they quickly did a 360 degrees turnaround on Nwabali after the match, now it's Iwobi and Tolu.

In the previous games it was Dessers and Ekong.

Maybe Bameyi and his u20 brothers should be promoted and used for Afcon, smh

u20 team will at least press and transition the ball better than the SE who will cede possession to the opponents and allow the opponents to press them as if they are a League 2 club side..

MetalJigsaw:
Why bench Akor when he compliments Osimhen and make work easier for him. At least one of Akor or Simon should have started.

Simon should have started not Lookman. We hardly scored goals when Lookman play. Simon creates chances, draws defenders to himself and is very effective while helping defense bunch Chelle is carried away by APOTY award. Chelle doesn't learn from his mistakes.

And when it comes to Midfield onyedika is better But he still gets benched. How can a professional midfielder be losing the ball carelessly. Iwobi and Lookman are so guilty of this.

Lookman played well today. it was ndidi and chuks that did not convert the easy chance Lookman created for them.

but Lookman himself should have the intelligence to know that when he plays the team does not score and should himself ask the coach to bring him on in the 2nd half...

same way ndidi and iwobi can both fake injury on the pitch if they realize they are not playing well themselves and tell the coach to replace them with Onyedika and Alhassan Yussuf..

SE is not a team, it is a bunch of players who prefer the bonuses they get from the SE than for the SE to actually play proper football and win teams..

caylakays:
Let's be honest... Midfield still needs iwobi. Also the coach would hv kept chukwueze and being ejuke to replace lookman. Chukwueze was playing both wing nd midfield and it was stabilized then.
The moment chukwueze and iwobi was removed, everything scattered

Iwobi needs to be benched and brought on in the 2nd half.

He never presses or marks in important matches since his red card against Tunisia in 2022 AFCON.

Lookman too needs to be benched.

Mujtahida:
Whenever we fail, I hear talks about disbanding the team, rebuilding bla bla bla.

See I will keep saying it. We don't plan. We are too haphazard, too chaotic for long term sustained success.

France has Clairefontaine. Where is our National Football Academy?

Black people. Me, make I no talk sha

Ask FIFA.

Fifa does not send auditors and forensic accountants to audit football associations so that they can sack a country's incompetent FA presidents.

ThunderFireAgba:
He has never scored any goal against the Top 5 teams on the Continent.

He has to be fit for Galatasaray. They are the ones paying his salary.

If you have data then watch the video below to understand how important big players are to their clubs.

TheGoodJoe:

I have said it before why wait for foreigners to work for us. Can't we train and build ours? When they do well bigger clubs will come for them.

Whether bigger clubs come for them or not does not matter.

Just invite them.

Look at Fredericks, he is not playing for a top club but because Aina is injured and Aina's backup was playing rubbish then he got his chance.

Dannyxy:
We need to actually design youth programs to develop ball playing midfielders, like scout them young, profile them, train them and the gifted ones push them into our cadet teams…

Like selective breeding since we don’t naturally produce proper ball playing midfielders, we must be intentional about it.

Enough of the nonsense and mediocrity, if we have just two proper midfielders, we will be dispatching teams and qualifying with ease…

The ones we produce don't play for top teams so they don't get call ups invitation.

Goke7:
Who will transit the ball from the midfield to the attack? Who? I'm asking

TheGoodJoe:
That is because we are still not properly screened and coached.

If DR Congo can hold and move the ball, transition in phases from defense to midfield to attack why can't we just do it?

SE does not train on how to transit the ball from defense to midfield to attack.

If they trained, then SE won't be having a back 4 or back 6 most of the time they would have a back 2 because the fullbacks and DMs would move to midfield as ball transits but SE just sits and let's the opponents pressed them.

9JAMac10:
Irrespective of the final outcome please let’s just focus on Afcon and next World Cup 2030

Focus needs to be on introducing younger high quality players.

Mujtahida:
Benjamin is 20 years old for God's sake.

Benjamin got lucky especially with Aina's injury and others messing up.

Mujtahida:
Why don't you read the things you intend to post at least once before posting it. You say some of the most outlandish things on this thread

So why are they not subbing him in?

LordTheus:
Chelle has done well to bring us this far. But let's not kid ourselves, he was totally trounced and outplayed here. Whatever happens next, I hope he takes this game as a lesson to write off your midfield. Goals are important, but it's the midfield that brings stability to a game.

We don't know what happened in the dressing room in 1st half time..

Goke7:
There are things the coaches see that we may not be seeing, even previous coaches didn't give Onyedika many chances

Coaches don't see anything..

Onyedika is young to them and considered a small boy that's why he is not playing.

It has to do with seniority.

Dannyxy:
I really can’t wrap my head around why we are not marking and just inviting them to come at us..

Like mark the ball , we ware watching oh boy

This is terrible

SE players are slow and in their 30s or late 20s so they are already very tired.

Odunayaw:
Congo playing crosses and we can't!

I can't believe my eyes

Drc does not boycott training and they do train on how to pass the ball.

ChrisKels:
Onyedika would have been the best sub instead of Ejuke

Odunayaw:
What does Onyedika have to do to play

Seniority and over aged is whats killing the SE.

SE needs younger players, thats why Federicks is playing better than others.

TheLoneCitizen:
The quality is way too low. Can't believe it

They don't do one two passes training.

Hardrive:
Arokodare and Adams should try to run into space.

Tolu cannot run..

Tella would be much better.
