Yes I agree but not against Ghana except injuries. We need certified proven and tested vs Ghana and there’s absolutely no case for experimentation

He needs to be at least on the bench against Ghana...

Same way Dessers, Amoo, Samuel Adegbenro should have been at the AFCON at least on the bench.

Philosopher1979:
You see most homegrown Nigerian footballers are poorly coached. Our football system does not care about coaching and it is very important.
When they get to Europe it becomes obvious. You can't just survive on your raw talent alone. We need to declare a coaching emergency in Nigeria. Most Nigerian coaches probably don't teach their payers even the simple and basic things.

Has nothing to do with homegrown players he has been playing in Europe for years and should already know this things unless they're not telling him since most Europeans don't know how to relate to Africans.

You don't have to abuse or be condescending to someone or a group of people just to make your point.

charlesemeka85:
garcia is over hyped while Araujo is the real deal. Even United wants him with other big team

Meanwhile our own Calvin bassey is very good,linked with a move to the epl next season. Dude is once for the future and should be integrated to the current super eagles set up

Bassey needs to at least be on the bench .. he is not for the future he is for now and today..

If someone like you had seen Mes:si or c.ronaldo or Pele you'll have said his one for the future and their talent will go to waste..

yinkeys:
You mean gaining weight like Awoniyi

If he doesn't watch his weight he'll be fatter than Awoniyi...

TheLoneCitizen:
Osimhen vs Barca. One of the poorest offside awareness I've seen from a striker in any match.

He doesn't look over his shoulders and his gaining weight..

zuchyblink:
Onuachu's problem is his age. Nigeria is known for age manipulation. Onuachu is almost 28 and I know they must have added 7 years to his age. Tell me one Nigeria player born in Nigeria that made a big money switch at 27.

zuchyblink:
I can only write it on Nairaland and no where else. I am trying to let you know how they see Nigerian players born in Nigeria. A 20 year old Onuachu would have made a big money or a move to Europe top 5 leagues Onuachu has done better than Osimehn in Belgium but his problem remains the age perception.

watch what you type on the internet...

Nigeria is not known for age falsification.. delete that comment..

Onuachu's problem is the fact that his not fast and doesn't press... Anyone who watch him against West Ham will understand his issues..

It's not just about them doubting his age.. its also about the transfer fee that his club is asking for...

Joebie:
You go sabi discriminate o.

It's not discrimination to give other players opportunities..

jihday:
no, the most talented players should be given opportunities

Talented young players should be given opportunities..

komekn:
The best Nigerian should be given opportunity in the national team, irrespective of age.

Young does not automatically equate to quality and neither does longevity.

There's no such thing as the best Nigerian. Young equates to more energy and from what Salzburg is doing young also equates to more work rate..

Sugarboyy:
Since you do not agree, i think you should come up with your superior argument.

For me, i think the people determines their kind of leaders. when the people are good, they will get good leaders and when the people are bad, they will also get bad leaders because these so called bad leaders weren't imported from other countries, neither did they fell from the sky.

The Nigerian people must never be exonerated from today's Nigeria decay, we all should be help responsible just like our so called bad leaders

African presid:ents are chosen by e:uropeans in order to serve e:uropeans interests..

Most African countries especially west African countries are under indirect rule..

At the expense of who? When I vent hard on people here, they will act like I’m childish when they’re the one suggesting asinine suggestions. You want to drop one of our big 3 players like Chukwueze, dennis, lookman, kalu or our big 5 wingers Simon for an inexperienced backwater league player “amoo”? Amoo looks like a talented youngster, but he has to excel tremendously at that backwater league or perform decent at a big 3, 5 in order to replace the incumbent ones. I didn’t even include Ejuke, nwakaeme, onyekuru

Salzburg strikers are all under the age of 22 years old..

Younger Nigerians should be given opportunities in the national team..

andrewbaba44:
E no waste time

S.E should give Amoo caps as soon as possible.

andrewbaba44:
Chibuike adamu just came in for Salzburg ,immediately I checked he was born in Kano but has already been capped by the Austrian national team

I hope we get to see Samson Tijani play today

He has scored.

13large:
He wasn’t as poor as some of you guys are saying. Even so, his replacement must be superior to him or the same level not inferior. Let amoo prove himself at the big 3 leagues before he can think of benching a big 3 player. I think “YouTube” deceives some of you cabu cabu analyst

He was so poor that most of our attacks went through Simon's wing..

so all the opposition has to do is close down Simon's wing since they know Chuks wing is toothless with Chuks playing there and he wasn't tracking back.

Kog45:
What thinking...my man Ejuke was poor....before Afcon I always seen Ejuke and Chuckwueze as our game changer but the duo flopped.

Ejuke wasn't poor..

Kog45:
Picking Amoo over Chuckwueze must be a joke.......unless Eguavoen gave Amoo the same opportunity he gave Nwakili and he grabbed it.

Chuks was poor in the AFCON and must be benched.. Chuks must know that he's replaceable..

It's thinking like yours that made Eguavoen not to put Ejuke on the list against Tunisia..

13large:
You prefer an inexperienced player at a backwater league to someone that has proved himself at the biggest stage in the world? You’re a dunce. Let amoo go can prove himself at a bigger league before he can think of benching chukwueze. If chukwueze was playing in Swedish or danish league, how many goals would he be scoring in a season

Chuks was poor in the AFCON. So for me it's either Ejuke, Dennis or Amoo on that wing..

charlesemeka85:
when I tell you guys that the hate for kids born in the diaspora is real here una go say I be as****licker

We are suppose to be happy that a great addition as lookman is in our disposal now but to few here they are just pained to see another British born player in the mix

The only 2 wingers based on current form that I won’t drop for lookman in the current eagles set up is Simon and Dennis, others lookman is better than them based on current form

what you fail to realize is that S.E is having a "golden generation" from both Nigerian born players and foreign born players and since the foreign born players are not sure if they want to play for S.E then lets go for the ones that are sure... that's the summary... the only position where we haven't found golden generation is GK..

a formation of:

Osimhen Dennis

Simon Lookman Amoo

Ndidi Aribo

Ekong Omeruo Ajayi

Uzoho


I prefer Amoo to chuks because Amoo scores from outside the box and cuts inside...

Kingsolar:
Just got a name that's being appraiseby GoDaddy at $1,890. Should I go ahead to register it or I should submit to SH review. Please

Submit for review because they can reject it.

If you've already appraised it there's a chance someone else can register it so don't buy it yet just submit for review.

You can also sign up at name/worth and appraise it there if it's tier 2 then it might get accepted. But SH has rejected some of my tier 2 names.

13large:
In the past 2 years and presently, Epl isn’t just one of the best leagues in the world, it is the BEST league in the world. You forgot the part that I said “inform” if any of the players you listed can perform at the big 3, they will take precedence over backwater league players. Quality over Quantity. There’s a reason why I didn’t rank lookman ahead of dennis on current form

If a player performs in any league that player should be a priority.. not everyone will play in the EPL no matter it's ranking.

13large:
He can play on both RW and lw. By playing at the best league in the world and being in form, he is already ranked higher than Simon, ejuke, onyekuru, musa and olayinka.

EPL is not the best league in the world.... it is the european league with the highest rating in Europe... just because someone plays there does not make them better than other players... You can't compare the opportunities someone who was born in England will get in England compared to people born outside England..

If Lookman was better than Simon, Leeds will be after him... samuel kalu just joined Watford does that make him better than simon, onyekuru, olayinka, ejuke

Beloved03:
Better at the moment than the Ejuke and Chukwueze we currently have.

He plays Simon's wing not Ejuke and Chukwueze's and Amoo's wing..

Stormtrooper11:
Lol. What do you mean meant to be poor? NO HUMAN WAS BORN TO SUFFER! Get that straight. I bet if you was Swiss, you'll believe you were meant to be poor cos Switzerland ain't have natural resources. All these states above the Niger and benue produce alotta foodstuffs and grains for the nation. Get your facts.

Stop cappin conspiracy theories and actin tribalistic. I'm a student of history. Don't involve General Ironsi in this.

Lol. You believe IDPs are foreign agents lol. I just hope you never get in a middle of a conflict zone. The insurgency is a result of the failure of the Nigerian government to crush these rebels in the first instance. The Maitasine were crushed in Kano by the military government in the 1980s within weeks. If it was a "Democrat" government like the present dispensation, it would be politicised. Y'all playin politics with lives of Nigerian citizens.

Damn, we derailed much. Let's stop the argument.

people who prefer to feed herbivorous animals before feeding humans are meant to be poor because they haven't fed themselves first.. Herbivorous animals and lack of rivers cause desertification which leads to poor soil and inability to farm and inability to farm leads to agriculture poverty which leads to famine and starvation especially when they don't feed the animals in a ranch or confined place...

States above river Niger and river benue have been affected by desertification and they can't farm... states like benue and Jos sell their foodstuffs to other northern states and not the nation..

I study reality and not his-story...

the Insurgency is a result of govt showing support to the insur:gents to spite southern Nigerians...

Stormtrooper11:
Lol. I watched that movie and I understand what he meant. He was insinuating that Akeela needed to improve her English vocabulary by speaking with the correct words and word structure in English language. I'm not an unserious person. This is a faceless forum, let's speak with facts to have an insightful conversation. If I should go by your analogy, then nearly 90% of Nigerians are unserious because alot of the members of our Nigerian society speak "Pidgin English" which is a corruption of the English language.

Nigeria is among the nations of the world where rampant open defecation is practiced. That's says alot about our water system. Millions may have access to water but it will be extremely few. No single state or city in the entire Federal Republic Of Nigeria can boast of atleast 70% water supply or 24/7 water supply.

Lol. Look, you talkin like every folk you meet in the rural area is a farmer. That's not it. Alotta people in the rural area are broke. We should face the facts that our people are suffering and our country isn't finding it smooth. Many peeps lack quality meals. They keep repeating same meals because they can't afford a quality one.

Lol. You keep making me feel surprised. What do you mean "in reality not poor"? Do you know the definition of poverty? "Poverty is the inability to provide for your BASIC NEEDS. " Basic needs includes; clean water, quality three square meals daily, basic education and health, clothing and shelter. Don't you get?

You gotta stop being a conspiracy theorist. All these bull crap about being
" Anti- African " is just not it. I know the whites supremacists don't care about us but our neo-colonialist leadership are allowing this suffering of our people to continue.
I bet you've never worked in or got in an IDP camp. In Maiduguri, the same Americans you're calling " Anti-African" are the major sponsor and donor for IDPs through the USAID. If the Americans remove funds today, the system will be crippled!.

States above the River Niger and river benue were meant to be poor.

So don't mention states in northern Nigeria because they were originally meant to be poor if not for Ironsi that abolished regional system of government and changed it to unitary system of govt most states in Northern Nigeria won't have access to the oil money and other taxes gotten from Southern Nigeria..

If the Amer:icans remove funds today, then terrorism will end in Nigeria.. because the more states that have IDPs the more "foreign agents" will spread across Nigeria in the name of charity..

JohnBullMySon:
I use shit a lot so i'm irresponsible? TBH, you're beginning to sound like a clown.

yes, you're very irresponsible especially with your words..

JohnBullMySon:
This is price at Star Bucks and Tim Hortons. If it were Chicken Republic now, you will hear 3k. What's the difference? Those places where they sell food 700 is not the standard i'm talking about. Abeg i'm sorry derailing the thread. I no dey argue again.

Those places where they sell food ₦700 in total for 3 square meals sell higher quality food than the junk food you put up...

such junk food cost less than ₦2000 in Nigeria...

Stormtrooper11:
That's a fallacy.

Lol, so no one in the entire thread and the entire country uses those terms except Komekn? You just insinuated that Nigerians have poor vocabulary. I hope Komekn also uses German terms in his write-ups cos I'm the guy fond of doing that here.

Why? Because Nigeria is a developed country? The fact is you don't know anything about the poor peeps in the trenches. You prolly live in a city. Tell me how many Nigerians have access to good water supply? If we should go by your analogy, then Nigerians got no reason whatsoever to complain about the state of affairs.

Lol. Please, just stop tryna cover up this. Nigeria got alotta poor citizens let's stop acting like everything is going smoothly. That's a disservice to our Nigerian people. I'm surprised you're actin like a government agent. Just because you're living comfortably does not mean others are living that way.

I don't remember comparing country currencies. I compared the standards of living.

I did not insinuate that Nigerians have poor vocabulary and using terms like "alotta" "em" "aint is very bad vocabulary.. In the movie Akeelah and the Bee, Laurence Fishburne kept correcting Akeelah anytime she used such words... so only unserious and irresponsible people use such words..

millions of Nigerians have access to good water supply.

There is difference between been financially poor and been food poor or agro poor...

"poor" people in Nigeria and many other African countries can afford 3 square meals daily... so in reality, they are not "poor" people because "poor" people can't afford 3 square meals...

Stop using Anti-African international organisations propaganda to describe Africans unless you're racist then you can keep using them for as long as you want...

JohnBullMySon:
Most of those 700 naira buka stores would be closed down if NAFDAC was working with US standards. Nigeria simply can't afford that life. Look at the people who operate those shops, why do you think they're still poor?

No need redefining a fact. let's go back to soccer.

Not buka..

a restaurant or cafeteria..

JohnBullMySon:
Food items usually are cheaper in the US than Nigeria. There's a higher standard of living in the US so food standards are very high and under FDA and local inspectors scrutiny. Workers are highly paid and no matter the cost of food, quality meals are affordable and very accessible to majority of the population. Is it same in Nigeria?

Food is even cheaper than you mentioned. $6 will get you something very decent. Go to equivalent nationwide fast food resturants in Nigeria (Chicken Republic, KFC, Kilimanjaro and others ) of same comparable quality and see if the price is not the same or even slightly higher. The difference is that few people can afford what ordinarily is meant to be basic fast food for everyone as obtainable in the US.

Food in the US can go higher up to 300 depending on the service you want. This things are hardly viable in Nigeria and can be seen in very select places. Its not about cost. What you'll ask yourself is if majority of Nigerians can access and afford quality food daily.

Majority of Nigerians have access and can afford quality food daily...

KFC and some other restaurants are foreign owned restaurants...

Nigerian owned restaurants are cheaper...

smallscale restaurants are cheaper and affordable..

at least 12 years ago when I was in University, I spent less than ₦700 in total on 3 square meals daily..

there are restaurants where you can spend less than ₦700 per day and eat 3 square high quality meals ..

VillageBus:
this part applies only to processed foods, for uncooked foods the prices are close or sometimes cheaper over there.

its more expensive over there... the prices can't be close or cheaper...

Stormtrooper11:
Lol. Nah, I ain't Komekn.

Lol. That's not true tho. I once worked in a factory as a mid-teenager. The factories and companies are "using" the employees. Nigeria still doesn't have a developed workers union and environment.

Alotta international organizations define poverty as living below 1 dollar per day. 40% of Nigerians live below a dollar, 60% live below 2 dollars and 70% live 5 dollars per day. In the United Kingdom, 1% of the population live below 5 dollars per day . In the United States, 10 % live below 5 dollars per day. I hope you understand now. We can't compare our deplorable status to the British.

Northern Nigeria is still part of Nigeria. I bet you haven't stayed in the slums of Kano. I've seen em all. Some places there look like South Sudanese IDP camps.

Alotta Nigerians will wake up today with no meals and eat only a 60 naira Egg roll or Buns with 20 naira "pure water" throughout the day. Many Nigerians are hungry.

Sorry for the derailment volks!!

you're komekn...

no Nigerian uses the term "alotta" "em" "aint..

No Nigerian will also use south sudan as an example...

only someone whose into poverty porn will use such words and use south sudan as an example...

from your write up, you know nothing about Nigeria, you only know what anti-African International organizations publish about countries in Africa..

for your information, Food worth $1 in Nigeria will cost over $15 - $30 in the U.S...

In Nigeria, I cut my hair for ₦500 - ₦1000 that's less than $2... does that mean I'm poor...

while in the U:S, hair cut is at least $40 ( that's around ₦15,000 - ₦20,000 ) ..

it is foolis:hness to compare countries based on their currencies...

Stormtrooper11:
In as much I perceive him as sentimental sometimes, he's saying the stark truth. Alotta guys go to work with empty tummies in our country. Lotta families can barely afford a single meal in a day. Komekn is just like an American Republican or British Labour party person. He's a critic but sometimes we see his kind of person as a bias person because he is a "radical critic".
70% of Nigerians are poor. He's correct on this.

so Komekn you've resorted to using alternate accounts to gather support

A lot of companies feed their employees so even if you go to work with an empty stomach you can't leave work with an empty stomach...

70% of Nigerians are not poor...

Nigeria's poverty is majorly in northern Nigeria and that's mainly for financial poverty not food poverty..

A lot of Nigerians are financially poor not 70%..

most Nigerians are not food poor or Agriculturally poor...
