Where will they be professionals in nigeria when a Rabiu Ali is still playing after 40years?

A u21 league can be created

TheSuperNerd:
We have been talking solutions for years and nothing has been done. How we got here? We both know the answer already.

I am just focused on the pearls we can still find even in the midst of our football chaos. If you burden your heart with NFF matters, u fit get stroke.

Up next is friday. Brace yourself just in case it goes south.

SE is not qualifying for the WC 2026.

Not having VAR cost the SE badly in the earlier fixtures.

Genuine goals were ruled as offside making at least 1 match end in a draw.

typicalgamer:
What did nff do ?

They job is to provide resources they’re not supposed to dictate a philosophy for a coach not that we have one to begin with

NFF is meant to sponsor the training of coaches and also ensure Nigerian footballers know the basics of team football.

typicalgamer:
lol u-17 and 20 are platforms to market players nothing more if they win the trophy that’s an added benefit

U20 players in other countries are already professional footballers its only Nigeria that uses it to market players.

typicalgamer:
Lol I’m from the south and this your agenda i no too buy am lol 😂

No be only one region get all the best players na lol 😂

Its only one region that has the best players.

The Danjuma that may have given northerners mouth is not playing for SE..

typicalgamer:
But in the end are we into football though

The biggest prize pool for underage/youth/amateur football first prize is 400-600k

Minimum prize pool for 45years old tournament is 15-25 mill

So are we encouraging the young ones or the old ones

The only tournament you can win money above a million are those hosted by politicians plain and simple

South south football is dead

Football in Nigeria is dead.

TheSuperNerd:
I already gave you historical data backing the trend. Remember this set has players who didnt make it to the WC. They are counted too.

Years from now, you will see I am right. Someone at worst will make it into the Super Eagles.

SE starting midfield has not changed in 10 years.

None of them will be called to SE even if they make it.

kennysville:
Shebi dem say make goverment no dey meddle with Soccer...? So how do we do all correction without govt interference? Left to me, Nigeria football needs a shut down and reset as soon as this tenure ends. There should be no NFF board elections. If we are gonna get banned by fifga for the next 5 years, then so be it. If it will help us correct all fundamental issues such as player welfare, Infrastructure, sports medicine, Crowd control, logistics etc. By now, no team should be travelling by road to honor a fixture.... Forget the I got here before you Kano Pillars syndrome. If you dont have the requisite requirements, the get off the NPFL league. Any team that doesnt have academies need to be dissolved. We need to do the right thing. It cant be worse than already is if we are gonna be worried that many will end up being jobless. What matters is the objective at hand. .... SHUT DOWN NAIJA FOOTBALL!!! Let FIFA ban us. We go still dey here and alright too

It needs a league of private club ownership.

TheSuperNerd:
We won the U17 World Cup with a team of really fine talents back in 2013 and 2015. Tell me how many from each set are Super Eagles today or made the Super Eagles as mainstays?

Was it everyone? No.

These tournaments are not our only source of Future Super Eagles but they give great exposure and would be nice to see more come through. But the reality is the reality.

Nobody from this team is making it..

Even Arsenal has discovered that its players of southern Nigerian descent that do well and its only a matter of time before other clubs notice this.

The black americans, Jamaicans, brazilians and other carribean who do well in sports are descendants of southern Nigerians or people who lived along the coast of west Africa.

QueenJazz:
Then I wonder what the SE coaching crew are waiting for.

They use seniority to pick players.

typicalgamer:
🤣 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣

Because we get oil you think say we hold Bar pass northerners

Oga I go to these scouting events if you see how the north package their boys

You go know say we no really send football for south south.

98% of deltans don’t know the name of the current captain of Warri wolves

Lol south is cast abeg we love soccer but not willing to properly invest and propel our boys

Not just oil money, remittances from abroad, biggest banks are owned by southern Nigerians, biggest gas company is owned by a southerner, malls, schools , Smes, manufacturing companies, doctors, hotels, betting companies, logistics, airlines e.t.c

kennysville:
This right here is the sole reason. It is why we are having crises in all the National teams.

That and no pressure from the president.

Morocco king abi president is always putting his head in football.

None of Nigeria's past and current president has put head in football and sports.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. 2007 set lost 4-0 to Chile in extra time in the Quarter finals. From that set, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Brown Ideye and Elderson Echiejile made it.

2009... Odion Ighalo, Lukman Haruna, Obiora Nwankwo, Sone Aluko

2011... Ahmed Musa (was already a Super Eagle), Uche Nwofor

2013... Ndidi, Moses Simon, Uche Agbo

Etc, Etc... there will always be someone.

That means Simon and Ndidi are not meant to be in SE starting 11 they are too old.

QueenJazz:
The saddest and scariest part of this whole thing is that even this U-17 team that are losing 4-0 still look more proactive, creative, slick and sharper on the ball than our senior Super Eagles that want to play on Friday.

Think about that for a second.

Because u20 team is much younger than the SE.

Add Tella, Akinsamiro, Federick, Onyedika to the SE starting 11 and you will see a completely different energetic team.

typicalgamer:
Trust me southern Nigerians no count on the business aspect I can assure you of that

Nope.

Southern Nigerians have more money than northern Nigerians so if it was business they will fill the team.

typicalgamer:
At the end of the day it’s a business if you know the backings some of these players have you’ll know that until they sign a deal abroad you can usurp them

You think making the team is free and fair lol
Think again

Its not business.

If its business then southern Nigerians will fill the team.

typicalgamer:
For now yes

In 2 years time no

In 2 years time yes.

typicalgamer:
Well Dona dad’s was like Jesus on the post and Donna was genetically a freak big and built like a god

And not to mention the unlimited resources his father has to give him the best training nutrition and experience

So it’s not even comparable

Harcourt is gonna come good for us in due time
Goalies get better with age

Harcourt is a basket.

QueenJazz:
Just how low do we have to go before we declare state of emergency on our national football? Currently the only team that's performing consistently is the women's senior and age-grade teams. The men's teams are absolutely clapped.

Back in the day, when the men's senior teams mess up, we used to look forward to the U17 and U20 because they always delivered. Now I'm not sure if they're even worse than the senior team.

Because the women team is filled with Southern Nigerians.

typicalgamer:
The team is not rubbish you can’t expect us to be gifted technically as the argentines

Our selling point over the years in youth tournaments was over Age and physical growth

But now everyone has matched up to us physically and we can’t bully them anymore and they’re technically better so what do you expect

They are rubbish.

Harcourt is too inexperienced to be in any u20 team.

Donnaruma was already keeping for Milan at u20.

villagereporter:
...but seriously what kills today's game for u20 is d lack of tactical nous from d coach. Mistakes are part of d game but what really baffles me is dat Nigeria had five corner kicks in d first half and none of dem translate into goal(s) is depressingly worrisome.

In this game of high magnitude doesn't d coach drills them on how to score from set pieces? And why do Nigerian team find it difficult to score from set pieces?

They obviously don't do drills in anything.

I don't think there is a corner kick coach in Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
I expect the Mexicans to give this Argentine team a real game. Hopefully, my boy Gilberto Mora shines against them as he did vs Brazil & Spain.

This was already a no contest after Harcourt's school boy errors + the clear penalty not given, all in the first half. But I focus on the positives. A few talents from this generation, as bad as this is coz it is 4-0 now, will grow and become options for the future.

Nobody from this team will make it.

TheSuperNerd:
If you all are so disgusted with this team and say we have no true talent on the team, then why are you still watching? End the game on your end and comment on something else then. 😁

Watching south africa's match.

Ppogbae:
This is what happens federal character invades our footballing. These people aren't even Nigerian and they are hell bent on destroying our nation.

How are they not Nigerians

SmartPolician:
This is an audacious move, and I commend it. 10 years' ban is too small. If should a life ban.
However, I don't know why we don't convict and kill politicians found to be corrupt - something that China still does today.

That means Nigeria encourages corruption. That's why the world doesn't believe that Nigeria is fighting corruption. Nigerians who complain about corruption do so because they lack the opportunity to steal.

You want to kill politicians that are wyte people's pawns in destabilizing your country

if you kill them who would help wyte people loot your resources, destabilize your country and delay your progress by 50 years

Nigeria has Bitumen and asphalt..

so it must be cheaper in Nigeria.

what is the rent amountt

KaLuCh:
Sadly, the Oba will not be alive when this evil of division being crowned aggressively in Nigeria by the political class will begin to rule.

And some of these NL clowns supporting it may not escape the calamity of it all. Yall keep on.

the only calamity that can affect a tribe in Nigeria is when Tribe A leaves its own territory to go and attack Tribe B in Tribe B territory..

so unless YOUR PEOPLE attack SW PEOPLE there will be no calamity

but YOUR PEOPLE are already attacking the SW PEOPLE just that unlike the northern ter:rorists who use violence which is very obvious,

YOUR PEOPLE use politics, economics, culture, emotional blackmail e.t.c. which is not obvious and does not look like an attack unless a person understands how people attack others economically, politically e.t.c..

so the SW PEOPLE have to react now because if they don't then their unborn generations will be badly affected..

Beremx:
Some of you are really den//sed in your sense of reasoning. There's is a difference between arts and culture. If you passed through education in Nigeria, you'll know that. She's doing an art exhibition of the lifestyle of Yoruba people which involves partying. She's not changing your culture for you. What Tinubu's daughter did in Benin is changing of culture which has long existed before her ancestors were born. You people should stop being jittery over nothing.

She wants to insert YOUR PEOPLE'S culture into Lagos history and SW history which your unborn generations will use against the SW and lay claim to Lagos.

She's changing SW culture in favor of your unborn generations.

God is very wonderful and nature is very powerful. life is mysterious.


Listen to me today, you or your kids might end up victims of racial attack or profiling outside Nigeria one day in future when you must have forgotten all these evil you are supporting today out of senseless hatred.


When such happens, you and your likes should remember how you supported, cheered and encouraged tribal division in Nigeria for whatever reason you may think you have. Continue, but please note this down

So you prefer VEHINTOLAR kids end up victims of YOUR PEOPLE'S racial attack or profiling while in Nigeria one day in future when he must have forgotten all the evil YOUR PEOPLE'S people he was supporting today out of senseless love for YOUR PEOPLE.

when such happens, him and his likes should also remember how he supported, cheered and encouraged YOUR PEOPLE'S tribal division in Nigeria for whatever reason he may think he has.. Continue, but please franchasng note this down.
