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.

Host78:
if the next generation needs to research yoruba culture then it's probably dead.

Culture will never remain the same from generation to generation. Some aspects become stronger and others wane.

It's important to have as many people as possible to practice your culture. That's what will keep it going.

Look at religion, those religions with fewer members tend to sink.

You just can't maintain culture. Sooner people understand this the better.

I am not black american but i enjoy reading their history.

I was not talking only about the next SW generation.

I was talking about people in the next generation who will enjoy reading SW history will end up been mis-informed if people like this woman are not stopped.

Host78:
Do people really worry about other people practicing their culture?

Like as an idoma man, I'll be worried if I see an igbo man practicing idoma culture?

Yes..

A.i gets its information from the internet and they are doing everything to re-write Yoruba culture and insert themselves into Yoruba history.

Which means A.i will start giving out wrong information or igbonized version of Yoruba culture when the next generation start researching Yoruba culture.

Yankiss:
Please, we need to let people breathe. Do you know that partying kind of helps her escape depression? Let her mourn in peace, whichever way she chooses. Depression following loss of a close relative is real. Her friends might have suggested that to help her unwind. Strictly my opinion.

Partying exposes her to alcohol, drugs, weeds and other vices...

when a person gets money avoiding places where alcohol, drugs, weed e.t.c. are in use is very important.

if not she will get addicted and lose the money to those vices and be worse than before they got that money.

Odunayaw:
In about 7 games now I think it's an open secret the man gives no shit about the midfield

SE has had lean midfield since 2021 when Eguavoen was the coach..

it did not start will Chelle..

that's one of the reasons people are now saying the players call up list is written by NFF and not the coach.

uchwar1:
I want to specifically write to MODs and to show my deepest disappointment with hate and tribal comments in this forum. U guys allow some abuses against igbos but delete and block others against other tribes other than igbos. Have u asked yourself why Igbo youths keep committing such crimes in diaspora? An average Igbo youths do not get equal opportunities their other counterparts get in Nigeria. They seek greener pastures in a country like Malawi. Is that not a shame to Nigerian govt? Why would someone want to japaa at first? If the country is ok, why will I leave my country to another. Why would someone commit crime if he has the resources? I don't support crime but this embarrassment won't stop until the country is safe for people to live in. Stop the tribal remarks

igbo youths have more opportunities than people whose tribe only have 1 state..

igbo youths have Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia, Rivers and Delta states for as many opportunities that they can create..

imo, Anambra, Abia, Delta and Rivers are all oil producing states so igbo youths have access to oil money.

igbos own Nest oil, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, Fidelity Bank, Konga, Coscharis, Kilimanjaro e.t.c. so igbo youths have access to jobs and companies that smaller tribes do not have access to..

igbo youths have more than enough opportunities in their 7 states alone than other tribes in Nigeria.
