More proof everything we've told you is true! Yes,you do have multimillionaires living like Royalty but the majority are miserable distorting the true picture-you never understand this and keep screeching about Adenuga,Dangote et al.

Nigeria also have a very large middle class larger than Kenya, but you are right, the majority do not belong to that group but no matter how poor Nigeria is, you do not easily find homeless people or those in famine. Kenya has had no real war with large refugee spill out, but sometimes we hear of famine in Kenya for a population of 40 million. Also inequality a disease in Nigeria is all over the world, worse in SA l believe.

neighy:
maybe you dont get his point... He is trying to say ndidi shoots better than onazi (taking SPG) into consideration..
Just like saying lampard has more goals from shot than gerrard that is not underrating gerard ... But lampard is more likely to score

I understand, but l have followed him for long here as a spectator, he almost doesn't see anything good in Onazi generally speaking.

Kog45:
Pls update me with Mikel,Ndidi,Agu,Etebo stats against Cameroon both legs.pls

Wow, unfortunately l don't have those stats. The Onazi stat was exclusively from the nff.

Echiejille is fine, everybody is fine now. Moses expected later this morning.

Tonyin on Channels tv.

Onazi vs Cameroon(over 2 legs).

16 interceptions

Ogu did not play against Zambia. Esiti was the player that calmed the midfield in that game.

My mistake Sire.

Super Eagles Camp Update:

Akpeyi Steals The Show In Eagles First Training Session With Point Blank Saves, Stops Penalty
October 3, 2017013


Daniel Akpeyi was the main attraction during the Super Eagles training session watched by Owngoalnigeria.com Maxwell Pius at the training pitch of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.

The Eagles had a light session before splitting into two groups of 8 players each for a practice game, which Akpeyi excelled with save after save to frustrate the forwards he was up against.

Akpeyi was difficult to beat throughout the session, and his form is a confirmation of how well he has been performing for his Premier South Africa League side Chippa United‎.

The highlight of his performance was stopping a penalty from Leicester City Star Ahmed Musa, and the manner which he stopped shots during their shooting drills.

Although Ikechukwu Ezenwa didn’t do badly, Akpeyi was by far the most impressive, however he was up against some of the top strikers of the team so that means he was constantly under pressure as they mounted attacks after attack.

A decision on who will start between the duo is expected to be made in the coming days, but for now Akpeyi is in the lead after his performance this evening.

Hmm na wa. Can he handle crosses from the wings effectively?

lakesidepapa:
Bro u go school I said "was" before I came to realise everything.. I have knw Ogu as a fine player since the days of ages

Remember that Uruguay match, how he bossed the midfield with Mickel or the SA friendly in the Mandela cup, even in the game against Zambia, his introduction slowed down the tempo of the rampaging Zambians in that last 15mins.

Famocious:
I think Jude Ighalo still remains our undisputed no 9 for now. I hope coach Rohr will give Nwakaeme some minutes of action in the second half against the Chipolopolos on Saturday. We need to see how much competition he can give Ighalo.

Exactly.

lakesidepapa:
Guten Abend. Wie geht es Ihnen

Guten Abend.

Napoleon55:
it's a very bad prayer,what if(God forbids) Aina sustains injury as well,u don't for others misfortune before u can b blessed,if Aina is BETTER,let him prove himself on DRILLS sessuons

Even if he proves himself, we all know Rohr already has in mind his starting eleven.

Napoleon55:
any time i remember Zambia hoping on their U-20 boys to come and outplay our senior national team,i will just feel pity for them.
maybe they r new on age grade football.

I think so too. Age grade footballing success is normal thing to us in both male and female football, so l get amused while reading their comments all the time.

tbaba1234:
My Line up.. No changes from Cameroon..

Kelechi, Iwobi and Aina to come on...

Why not Ogu and Anthony? Ogu can control that midfield better than Ndidi or Onazi.

Nasa28:
Read well...... You know nothing about what igbos want

What do lgbos want? Or better still what do you think lgbos want?

AIG07:
no they don't. But they did the impossible against Algeria. So they deserve some respect.

They weren't that good against Algeria even in Lusaka.

jihday:
lol, what's special in THIS Zambian squad? do they now have Ronaldo Messi and kroos?

I wonder o, as if we haven't produced great generations of U20 teams in time past.

GERALD710:
And yet not a single product from Nigeria is known anywhere.
Nigeria,Like Kenya is part of AGOA.What manufactured goods does Nigeria export to the United States duty free
The answer is NONE!!
Kenya is the second largest exporter of Textiles to the US under AGOA after Lesotho. It is one of the fastest growing exporters of pharmaceuticals too under the same program.
99%of Nigerian products to the US under AGOA is oil.
If Nigeria has manufacturing,it is like Algeria.Fit for only the domestic market.Which is about right.I read your plastic soda bottles are so substandard they leak carcinogens.

Stop comparing Kenya of 40 million to Nigeria, even Ghana exports. If China condemns us for not exporting much then l would listen not Kenyans.

Mujtahida:
I feel that I enjoyed the best football had to offer from Van Basten, Romario, Baggio, Hagi, Zidane, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, Beckham, Scholes, Schiemechel, Khan, Figo, Kluivert, Raul, Nedved, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos etc. I rarely watch football today except it's Nigeria and Champions league from Semi-finals.

Now it isn't about the art, It's just about the cash or goals.

Very dumb OP.

Mujtahida:
They don't make them like that no more. Once Messi (and I am not his fan) exits football something (that has always been there in football) will most likely disappear.

Football these days has become quiet pathetic.

soetanoreoluwa:
You are welcome sir Dae!

Lol, thanks man l feel you. You can call me General Dae.

enomakos:
nice name daejoyoung

One of Korea founding father and welcome to the thread

Thanks Baba.

edi287:
It's like some of you guys have forgotten the Cr7 of man united and early madrid days. The super skillful one that dribbles past players with ease. I saw someone say apart from scoring, there's nothing cr7 can do that Hazard can't....all I have to say is go and watch old videos of him. People forget so easily

Christiano Ronaldo is skillfull no doubt, but watch Best of Christiano Ronaldo on YouTube and then compare with best of Ronaldo Delima, Ronaldhino, Messi, and you would see why these guys are football geniuses compared to Ronaldo.

Mickael2:
the combo isn't exactly working well, Mikel is working well for the team, totally different more like Mikel-dependencia, making the Ndidi-Onazi combo look good but whenever Mikel leaves the pitch we die

Yeah people forget Mickel is the saving grace here because he doesn't lose the ball easily like the other two. This is why l would also want John Ogu to get some playing time at least.

Icon79:
Batty word! Like Zlatan Ibrahimovic puts it, "Messi is natural, Ronaldo is a work of training." But, hey, why did you say "and maybe Messi"? Messi is more skillful than everyone you listed on there, except for perhaps Ronaldihno.

And by the way, you don't wanna be around me when I am watching any Baca games! All you'll be hearing is 'merciless Messi .... inhuman .... the little magician .... the best ever ..... blah blah blah!!!'


O pari

Messi is skillfull in the sense that he is tricky and fast but relies more on pace and a good ball sense. The others on my list are to a greater extent ball jogglers and are more entertaining to me.

Icon79:
Safari, you're obviously a CR7's fan. No surprise there, most women are

Don't get me wrong, Cristiano is a fantastic player. One of the best strikers ever. But where I get mad is when people try to compare him to the most complete player to ever play the game aka Messi. There's no contest. Cristiano gives you goals, Messi gives you everything!
The only reason why serious people are still making that comparison is because FIFA and UEFA are desperate to make Cristiano the face of football. He's much more marketable than Leo Messi, for obvious reasons:
#1. Pretty boy (now they can sale the game to billions of female fans around the world)
#2. White Euro boy
#3. Speaks good English

The whole FIFA's marketing stunts actually started the time of David Beckham and the real Ronaldo (the Brazilian one). Ronaldo was the best player in the world by far but Beckham was the one getting all the accolades and the marketing deals. Go figure ....


O pari

Lol, ladies would easily kill for Ronaldo, experience has taught me that.
On this topic though, Ronaldo is definitely one of the greatest players of all times, but while l would pay to watch Pele, Ronaldinho, Delima, Okocha, Neymar, and maybe Messi, l don't think l'll pay to watch Ronaldo, Drogba, Van Nisteroyl or Eto. There are great players and there are in the same vein also very entertaining players for the world to have her fill.

Icon4s:
I said it after the Cameroon game in Uyo that Ezenwa looked like a goalie that can chop 4 goals with a tougher opposition.

Rohr even said Ezenwa is 4th choice.

Consider also that two of those goals were penalties. Even Enyeama conceeded 4 against Ghana in 2007.
Ezenwa may be average but Akpeyi is shaky. I saw it in his body language in the Algerian game. Ezenwa is also more reactive to crosses, and the first goal conceeded by Akpeyi in the South African game(a header from a cross) may not have come through with Ezenwa between the sticks.

[quote author=elyte89 post=61071215][/quote]Anthony may even do better than lhenacho. Maybe he is rated lower because he plays in Israel. But l would prefer that Anthony is finally given a chance.

Kog45:
yea choosing between Akpeyi and Ezenwa get as ebi

Well to me Ezenwa is clearly better. Even in the game against Algeria, you could see Akpeyi lacked the confidence, but l respect your opinion though.
