New Tool 4 our battle hardened combatants

Good development and I'm not trying to malign anybody's efforts oo but I hope it actually works

We have heard stories of the Army coupling worn out parts together and deceiving the media

Eartquake1:
The guy will taunt Nigeria as much as he could and end up discarding Nigeria

Tammy Abraham situation will be a joke to this. Watch out

I am not doubting you but what I am saying is that it still won't change a single thing and Super Eagles will still be existing.

Eartquake1:
Hahaha you guys are funny

I can't wait for the heartbreak

Which heartbreak?

If he ends up declaring for England, he won't be the first or the last and the sun would still rise in the east and set in the west. The earth will still rotate about its axis and revolve round the sun. So, what does it change. We move on to the next one

andrew444:
He was romancing the eagles because he was not they known on doing that well for his club but now that he is doing well and he know he might end up in the Epl next season e don dey reason England ,lol

My bros Na normal thing jare ,no be today

Andrew, I know that it is easy to get carried away when one is being courted by England. I mean, they are a developed country and have a very strong footballing brand with rich history in the game.

However, I still expect these foreign born Nigerians to use their head when making decisions and to be very decisive once they do so. No fence sitting. England have a history of not really playing these Nigerians that end up declaring allegiance to them (bar Dele Alli). What good does it do to one's international career to just sit on the bench and then sooner fade out of the team.

All in all, good luck to them

Humility017:
it's like this players don't have advisers...at all or someone like komekn is advising them wrongly......because he barely see anything good in the SE players....

it is becoming clearer to him...that he probably made the wrong choice...he has not seen anything yet...let's give him 2-3 years from now....

Lol

They aren't kids and I'm sure they choose what they felt was best for them

Goodluck to them all the same

I like Rohr's rule. You choose England and be ready to live with the consequences

Eartquake1:
This is the one I'm waiting for

Exactly ooo

This one wants to play for us and has made it clear from the onset.

He isn't waiting for Red carpets

Super Eagles Too Big To Be Treated As Plan B – Rohr Shut The Door On Tomori


The chances of Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori playing for Nigeria still remains valid after his bench role for the Three Lions of England in the last round of international games where they played against Czech Republic and Bulgaria respectively.

Tomori was an unused substitute in both games that would have tied him to the English team permanently as both games were competitive fixture. Playing in any of them would have ended his chances of switching allegiance to Nigeria.

His bench role means he is still available for selection for the senior national team of Nigeria if he is called up although the process will take at least a year to be approved by FIFA.

Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has however ruled out the chances of that happening insisting that his team have moved on from Tomori since he made public his decision to play for England.

” He pick where he is comfortable and we wish him all the best with England. No point thinking we can have him back as it will be dangerous if we allow players view our team as second option when all fails, I think we are bigger than that. I hope he succeeds with England “, Rohr said.

Gbam. This is one of the reasons I like Rohr.

You cannot serve two masters at the same time. Even the holy bible is clear on this.

elyte89:
Lol nothing,his goal has not dried up



And dis reminds me of KANU nwankwo in Portsmouth... He scored in 9games consecutively and acted d 10th game,his goal dried up till d last or penultimate game of d season and scored anoda one to make it just 10 in DT season,wen we tot he would b one of d highest goal scorer dt year in premiership... I hope village ppu no go do dt for osimhen

Its not village people. When you score like that, you become a prime target for defenders and you may even get double marked. He just needs to adapt and become less predictable. That's all

andrew444:
The way you talk go be like say nigeria get many players wey dey above average

Your only above average is ndidi, the rest are average

Exactly

So Samuel Chukwueze already has 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 games this season for his club.

Hmmmmm.......

Not bad...... Not bad........

Someone please help me with a befitting meme to buttress my point

andrew444:
What did they achieve?

What trophy have the won for the past few years?

They didnt win the afcon so how are they better than us?

For world cup na group stage dem comot

Abeg tell me something wey i no no

Please ignore.

Senegal better? How? Apart from that kpangolo friendly before AFCON, have they beaten us again?

jieta:
To be sincere you are polluting this thread with your stupidness.There is no need to be diplomatic again, no difference between you and afeobear.


Where you expecting us to match them. Even if you compare players to players there are still better, but we had a game plan which we executed even if we did not achieve the desire results but we got a draw. We should give this team a break Abeg. The critisim is getting too much.

Even I know we gave it our best shot. We tried

andrew444:
Senegal have better players than us doesn’t mean they are a better team than us ,ask anyone here I am a fan of Senegal and Ivory Coast during the afcon

Mane ,koulibally and gana gueye will talk into our team then their gk bt the rest is a no no

Ndidi will bench this guy.

Gueye is a carpenter in disguise. Please, don't let him fool you

andrew444:
Nigeria players should not near real Madrid and especially Barcelona if he is not a defensive midfielder

I hope his agent and adviser(s) know this

andrew444:
Wow, i quoted him before i saw yours and i was thinking i was the only one who tought so

Richarlison may just have a Nigerian ancestor via slave trade

dayorh0:
Chairman, Senate Committee On Army, Mohammed Ali Ndume, on Tuesday, said over[b] 847 soldiers[/b] have so far been killed by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State alone since 2013.

Ndume who addressed Senate correspondents in Abuja, also dismissed claims of the existence of mass graves where soldiers killed by Boko Haram insurgents had been buried.

He said during the visit of his committee to theatre commands in Borno State, it was discovered that soldiers were under-equipped to confront the insurgents.

He also decried the inadequate number of soldiers confronting insurgents. He called on the government to recruit more men into the service to aid the fight.

Is this not the same Ndume who was under investigation for links with Boko haram commanders in the past?

Are they through with the investigation?

ugo4u:
It's left for the authorities to do the right thing.
The enemies sef even use anti aircraft guns to shoot at soldiers, no ballistics vest can stop that.

Exactly. I wanted to mention this

Majlaw:
Guys please Help..
My name show for police list yesterday (Constable).
I don't know if I should go for it or wait for the Army list.

It depends on you bro.

As a constable, you may not be posted to the northeast. Although, you will not be treated fairly in terms of salaries, allowances and even kits. Also, the whole country doesn't give a damn about the police force. So, there isn't any respect for the men on black.

However, the army is suffering from shortage of man power to prosecute the fight on the northeast. So, you have a high probability of been posted there. Are you willing to go through the rigors of training at depot and the stress of warfare at the front if your mame us short listed.

For me, I would advice you go back to school and try to get an HND at least to better your opportunities in life except you really want to serve your country. Because, the country has shown in recent times that they don't really care about the welfare of the rank and file of the police

Lukas47:
See..brother..........Brother!

This isn't necessary bro.

Just advice him if you have answers or just ignore. Simple

ugo4u:
Production and distribution of Bullet proof vest has not really being the problem of the NA, they do produce them at DICON, and even out source production of same to local manufacturers at Aba and other places. The issue is enforcing its use by troops at the fronts.

But we have been getting reports from troops that the ones available aren't enough to go round.

TheSuperNerd:
I have said this several times on this thread. Uzoho have never been beaten from a freekick. Never!

I'm really worried for him. This injury ehn......I know he'll be a not rusty after it but I hope it doesn't knock the wind out of his career.

If he continues playing well, I see him in a top 4 league in future.

Now, this is the time for boys to become men. Maduka has to step up and leave his boyish ways to become a man. If he does well, the dividends may translate to his club career.

Truidstar:
I was with you until you mentioned Rabiu Ibrahim and Lukman Haruna. We can as well recall JJ okocha from retirement while we are at it and are so desperate.

As in ehn, after that statement, I didn't bother to read the rest of his essay.

I can't even laugh properly

Philosopher1979:
The super eagles need creative players in midfield but ironically, our most
creative players are not playing in good clubs in Europe. We should ignore this
fact and invite players like kelechi nwakali, rabiu ibrahim and lukman haruna.
If they can offer creativity in midfield, then we are good to go.
If an Ahmed Musa who plays in Saudi Arabia or Ighalo who plays
in china can be part of our team, then rabiu ibrahim who plays in slovakia and
kelechi nwakali who does not even feature for his club in the second division
of the spanish league should be considered.
You cannot allways use club form to judge a player. It is simply too simplistic
The problem is we do not have a natural attacking midfielder playing in a good club
If kevin de bruyne or christian eriksen were Nigerian then we have no problem
We can even try chukwuka onuwa or plays for enyimba
WE NEED CREATIVE MIDFIELDERS AND PLEASE LET US GET THEM FROM
ANYWERE AS LONG AS THEY CAN PLAY WELL FOR US LET US FORGET ABOUT
THIER CLUB FORM. IN FACT, BEN IROHA DID NOT HAVE A GOOD CLUB CAREER BUT
PLAYED WELL FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM. CLUB CAREER AND NATIONAL TEAM CAREER ARE
NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTLY RELATED.

Chai, I have really seen things.

What do you guys think?

SFcommander1:
While we are still waiting for the list, I think we can help ourselves deal with the anxiety a bit, by familarising ourselves with some salient and covert matters about the Nigerian Army, that will help some of us prepare ourselves very well for the system we are about to dive into.

And for some others, may be they will consider withdrawing from the whole process after getting to know one or two things that they never knew about the system, and give chance to those who are truly ready for this thing.

No more wasting of valuable spaces again by those who will later withdraw along the way. Have I spoken well?

By the way, I think we should talk about masochism and sadism in the Nigerian Army.

I think a doctrinal change is needed in NA training.

Phrases that demean civilian like "bloody civilian" ought to be blotted out and labelled a hate speech. And yes, it ought to. Any talk or training that considers civilians as worthless should be discouraged and outrightly expunged from the curriculum. The civilians pay taxes to sustain the army and thus should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

A strong soldier isn't by how you oppress those you are meant to protect but by been a gentleman that is ready to kill and die defending the weak and vulnerable.

And yes, some of us here have not even started the training but I see some traces of "oppressive mentality" in our words and actions. Big props up to Ugo4u for arguing intelligently and with respect. Its rare on Nairaland these days.

Someone once posted the story of how a DSSC candidate was maltreated in training despite his injuries. A country that values the life and the mental well being of it's would be officers would bring the perpetrators of such inhumane act to book. Military training g or not, they went above board. An injured soldier (even if captured as a POW in war) has a right to good treatment as stipulated by the Geneva Convention not to talk of getting injured in a training exercise and being blamed for it. It was sad really

I have always wondered. Why short service combatant or direct short service course (SSC or DSSC)?

The USA has something similar called the officer candidate school (OCS) for would be officers that had graduated from civilian universities. And this applies to all the arms of service; Army, Navy, Air force and the Marine Corps. The graduates of the OCS are given the same treatments as the graduates of the military academies (namely; USMA West point, USNA Annapolis and USAF Colorado). Both OCS and military academy graduates undertake the same courses (in the course of their careers) and are promoted on equal basis. There is also no limit to which the OCS graduates can advance in their service.

This ensures equality and removes favoritism and unnecessary politicking. Our Generals surely know thus but still insist on sticking with an archaic system. It beats me why?

Why not convert our SSCs and DSSCs to Officer Candidate School (OCS) and let every graduate from the OCS be given equal opportunity for advancement (depending on career trajectory and choice of the officer)? Its just my two cents though

OMANBALA1:
Lmao..were you expecting Iwobi to start having a great game,overnight ? You think Arsenal shipped him off because he was awesome...lol. Oga, you have seen the best of Iwobi

Iwobi's bad games are more than his hood games (for both club and country).

I'm beginning to see why many regard him as overrated

olu98:
Not even lookman?

Yea. Ademola has just played 2 games this season for RB Leipzig. Thus, form isn't on his side. Hence my pick

deor03:
I hope IFA professors will petition too, since Mon- Fri is reserved for IFA worship

Africans need to examine their brains, we simply focus on the wrong things

I thought it was about something more serious like how grants were disbursed or how curriculum was designed. I never knew that it was about Religious sentiments again.

Its just very painful. This is one of the reasons our Universities aren't moving forward.

Will these professors have acted this way if they were in America? A land where lard work is valued above religious sentiments. I doubt it

Eartquake1:
We need to find a competition for Jamilu Collins, he was so disappointing yesterday

He was also disappointing in the AFCON game he played. No be today.

We need competition in his position ASAP

Eartquake1:
I don't think Samuel Kalu is improving

He's the same Samuel Kalu from his early Bordeaux days, good dribbling but poor end product

I think one of Ejuke, Lookman or Sheyi Ojo would replace him in the upcoming months

Sheyi Ojo isn't even good enough for the U-23s.

I'll only pick Ejuke and not any of the others
