charlesemeka85:

Its a sad devt.

With the way things are going, thus guy may end up in the NPFL in 3 yrs time

Good day Prof

Sir, I must commend the good work you have been doing on this thread.

In particular, I am intrigued by your knowledge of research methodology and scientific publishing.

I am thinking of starting a PhD program next year in either UNILAG, UI or UNIABUJA.

My qualifications are as follows:

BSc. Pharmacology (UNILAG)

MSc. Pharmacology (UNILAG)

My Research interests include the investigation of potential bio-active plant extracts as potential treatments for inflammation and cancer (using animal models as study subjects), particularly those types of cancers that result from inflammation. E.g. Colorectal Cancer, Liver Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer. I would love to perform genetic and epigenetic analysis of human tumor samples derived from patients in the hospitals to delineate specific mutant drivers of tumor aggressiveness that may be common among Nigerians.

However, I fear that my knowledge of research methodology, proper conduct of scientific research, data analysis as well as publication of results in reputable journals is limited.

Please, could you recommend a book or two for reading or even an online course (if possible)?

Thanks in anticipation.

Even if they descend to this level, it doesn't mean you should do the same.

Just make your point maturely and move on

jihday:
Huh! You'll believe 'someone here' over Rhor himself?

Not so bro

I argued with the same person on this forum a few months ago about how the NFF were chronic debtors and owed Rohr salaries but the same person rebuffed my claims rudely.

Thank God Rohr has come out with the truth

TheSuperNerd:
Chris. I agree with you. Ojo is decent but not better than what we have on the wings. He is not on the same level as Chuks, Onyekuru, Musa, Kalu and even Simon.

But having said that... I retain special interest personally in the lad because of his left foot. He can surely be a decent backup to Chuks as another Left footed winger on either wings.... as a LW or as an inverted RW. Would be nice to see Ojo get better and step things up ahead of a call up to the Eagles because it is obvious his allegiance lies with us. Ojo will be a decent addition but yes... he is not on same level as the bad ass wingers we've got.

Let's hope he improves on the 1 goal and 2 assists in the SPL so far in 4 games and really give us something to wow about not just in Scotland but in the UEL as well. So far... I think the lad is on the right track but he must stay really grounded.

you're right about this statement

TheSuperNerd:
Bobby Adekanye played 10 mins for Lazio after he came off the bench in the 80th min of their 2-1 away loss to CFR Cluj.

Na wa ooo

No club should be underrated in Europe again oo

charlesemeka85:
The guy is good.

You guys should be careful with how you clamour for player's inclusion.

Its just one match. Why have we not been hearing much of his exploits before that match?

We wouldn't want another mediocre player on our hands oo

charlesemeka85:
Rohr hv been professional in his dealings with the nff. If say na local coaches na every day fight both with the nff n players. Lolz

You're very right.

That's one of his good attributes; man-management

jihday:
So those of you always insinuating that Rhor is getting his salary as at when due or the NFF doesn't treat him like they treated past coaches because the old man no dey go media go cry the below is for you

I thought someone here said he was not being owed wages but was paid by aiteo

So, who do we believe now?

ChrisKels:
My dear that midfield was real poo, bar Mikel with his sideways passes

I tell ya bro

TheSuperNerd:
UEL action: Nigerian Angle

Bukayo Saka starts for Arsenal vs Frankfurt


Samuel Adegbenro starts for Rosenborg vs LASK Linz


Bobby Adekanye on the bench for Lazio vs CFR Cluj...


[b]Mikel Agu [/b]starts for Guimares vs Standard Liege

Haaaa, this guy who couldn't pass to safe his teammates

I hope he has improved sha

ChrisKels:
In 2008, before the Afcon, Obodo played only a single match for Udinese. Olofinjana just like a Etebo was a championship player, while Ayila could only play 15matches for Kiev. How do those stats translate to REGULARS STATS?

Please continue to expose the falsehoods abeg. I am behind you as long as you back up your facts.

People are talking as if the 2000s Super Eagles weren't equally bang average. Hardly any above average player in that team. Even Enyeama entered his prime in 2008 thereabouts

MetalJigsaw:
Players With Nigerian Heritage Who Can Improve New Look Super Eagles
Elvis Iwuamadi 5 hours ago


Super Eagles’ all-round performance in the 2-2 draw with home side Ukraine – an international friendly match in Dnipro on September 10 2019, encouraged a huge sense of hope about the team’s future following the retirement of veterans like John Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo. However, it also brought new possibilities to the fore – effective talent scouting that will bolster Gernot Rohr’s new-look team.
It is, however, not a herculean task. 2019 is such a great year to be a Super Eagles fan, in view of the plethora of talents lying across Europe waiting to be snapped up.
Completesports.com’s OLUYEMI OGUNSEYIN takes a look at five uncapped dual-national players that can bring massive improvement on what was on show in Dnipro last week.



1. Tammy Abraham (Striker- Chelsea, England)
At the moment, Lille striker, Victor Osimhen is one of the brightest young forwards in Europe and he showed the reason why in the friendly against Ukraine, harrying the hosts’ defence before getting his first international goal from the spot. .
He continued with that rich vein of form by netting his fifth goal in Lille jersey to help them to a 2-1 win over Angers last week Friday.
However, having another exciting talent in Tammy Abraham who grabbed a hat-trick over the weekend to provide him with an intense competition would be Nigeria’s gain.
Great teams always have ammunitions in layers and the Super Eagles should be no different. The fact that the 21-year-old striker is firing from all cylinders while also leading the Premier League goal chart makes things very difficult.
England and Gareth Southgate’s interest would have considerably peaked and they would want to have Abraham tied to a competitive game.
But should Nigeria whose initial approach was blatantly turned down by the striker snap him up from the claws of the Three Lions, it would be one of the biggest coups the country has ever made.



Eberechi Eze
2. Eberechi Eze ( Attacking Midfielder – QPR, England)
Last week, Nigeria’s collapse in Dnipro began immediately the team’s attacking edge was sacrificed as Rohr withdrew Alex Iwobi for Anderson Esiti in his quest to preserve the lead.
Andriy Shevchenko’s men took charge of proceeding, constantly asking questions of the Super Eagles’ midfield which translated to pressure on the defence. Within a minute, the hosts scored twice to tie the game.
Now aside Iwobi, Rohr’s current set-up is bereft of another attacking midfielder and there is not so much that roving new boy, Joe Aribo or Oghenekaro Etebo can do in that department.
Queens Park Rangers no. 10, Eberechi Eze is very much suitable to hand stern competition to the Everton new signing. The 21-year-old in March 2017 trained with the Super Eagles in London but impressive showings for QPR have seen him feature for England U-20 and was away with the U-21 squad during the last international break.
Eze is a lively attacking midfielder, adept at using both feet and unlike Iwobi, he has an enviable shooting ability, thus making him a goal threat.
Only on Saturday, Eze was on song, providing a goal and an assist to steer QPR to a win over Luton. This season, he has registered three goals and laid on two others in seven English Championship appearances.
Viv Solomon-Otabor


3. Viv Solomon-Otabor (Winger – CSKA Sofia, Bulgaria)
There were few eyesores in the Super Eagles’ 2-2 draw against Ukraine aside the manner of collapse in the second half. One standout would be Moses Simon’s constant show of inefficiency which has become a theme.
It is as though his only use is for counter-actions on the right side of the pitch, to double down on a dangerous left-winger. On the left where he started his Super Eagles career, Simon is miserable, constantly barging into defenders and losing possession. Overall, no end product.
With starters, Samuel Kalu and Samuel Chukwueze, it was different as both sliced through the Ukrainians. The team needs competition to stay afloat and Simon won’t provide such.
CSKA Sofia winger, Viv Solomon-Otabor is an exciting winger capable of vying for a spot. Otabor is a speedster, skillful and dribbles past oppositions with ease. He also is a goal threat.
Although, born in London, Soomon-Otabor has never been capped at any level by England. He trained with the squad that represented Nigeria at the 2015 All-Africa Games and the 2016 Olympics.
Nephew to ex-Nigerian internationaln Thompson Oliha, the 23-year-old began his career at Birmingham City where he was named the club’s Young Player of the Season in 2015-16.
At the weekend, Solomon-Otabor helped fourth-placed Sofia to a 1-0 league victory over Botev Plovdiv in Bulgaria.
Sebastian Osigwe


4. Sebastian Osigwe (Goalkeeper – SC Kriens, Switzerland)
The goalkeeping position remains a grey area for Rohr who has since proceeded to hand youngster, Maduka Okoye playing in the lower league in Germany a maiden invite.
Last week Tuesday, Francis Uzoho provided a solid performance enough to reclaim his starter’s shirt, but the 20-year-old still needs to be put on his toes.

While Okoye represents a long term solution, Ikechukwu Ezenwa’s spot might be needing some reevaluation.

Just under two years, Ezenwa has moved to three clubs within the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and has been on the periphery at each of them.

Truth is despite being spoilt for options elsewhere, Nigeria is faced with a dearth of goalkeeping talents.
SC Kriens goalie, Sebastian Osigwe would make for a decent catch to put Uzoho and co. under check.

Osigwe is Swiss-born and his father, Vitalis is an ex-Nigeria youth international and Enugu Rangers player. As a 19-year-old, the goalkeeper was called up by coach John Obuh to represent the Nigeria U-20 side at the 2013 Toulon Tournament.

The 25-year-old is a prominent player at Kriens since joining in the summer of 2014. He played a huge role in helping the team rise from the Swiss fourth tier to the second division. This season, he has played every minute of his team’s six Swiss Challenge League games, helping them to stay fourth on the standings.
Chuba Akpom


5. Chuba Akpom (Striker – PAOK FC, Greece)
On what basis did Kelechi Iheanacho get an invite for the last international game? Rohr needs to be consistent with the sort of cold shoulder he gave while naming his AFCON 2019 squad.
The national team should only be for active and performing players and no spot should be granted as compensation. Iheanacho has not improved from his inactivity at Leicester City. And unless he gets a solution, he shouldn’t get an invite.

That said, the Super Eagles need a replacement, a versatile forward and Chuba Akpom fits the bill. He can play as up top, support centrally or from the wings.

Since ending his age-long union with Arsenal in the summer of 2018, Akpom has gone on to better things in Greece, scoring crucial goals to help PAOK secure the Greek Super League title last season.

This seaaon, he has scored twice in three league games and he is no stranger to the Nigerian national team set-up, having engaged in a kick-about with the side in March 2017 alongside QPR’s Eberechi Eze.

Akpom can come in to give Rohr more options, and possibly provide more quality in the Super Eagles’ attack.

Not sold on Chuba. I have a feeling he is another Esiti.

Osigwe isn't better than the keepers we have.

Icon4s:
My guy talk wetin you know. We talk Goalkeepers of that era you dey mention Etafia and Ikeme. Compare Enyeama, Ejide and Ayenugba with today's Akpeyi, Ezenwa and Uzoho. Our current keepers are no where close and always a bunch of calamity waiting to happen.

I repeat none of our Full backs come close to Taiwo and Odiah. As for CB I will rate Apam (of 2008) with Awaziem.

Mikel + Obodo combo > Ndidi + Etebo

I don't even want to compare the forwards because the current players we have are still learning

Oga Icon4s, you're speaking with two mouths.

It was you and others that praised our present team for being better than the former super eagles teams in that we have a deep bench now.

So, I am surprised at your turnaround that the 2006 team is better all round and has a better bench.

That team (2006) was/is overrated. Chriskels puts everything in the correct perspective. Those midfielders were just senseless, unintelligent tacklers whose recklessness cost us dearly and whose lack of creativity smelled like rotten egg.

I won't pick any midfielder from that team today

9jaRealist:
Indonesia is still ranked relatively LOW on the corruption index though...
Lower than several of our West African neighbors, including even Benin Rep and Burkina Faso.

Corruption doesn’t help development one iota, and thus nothing here should be (mis)construed as excusing corruption, but at the same time folks should realize that there’s more to development than simply “reducing” corruption. In fact, a country like South Korea developed under incredibly corrupt and despotic governments and political systems, as did Thailand and to a large extent even the said Indonesia under the rapacious Suharto family. For starters, you have to have a certain level of competency (and/or enlightenment) at the helm of leadership.

Oga, learn to read.

He said Singapore and not indonesia

Hian. You were just too quick to condemn without first comprehending a simple word.

Jeeaz

solonnachi:
It seems the matter has been resolved by the Sports minister, Mr Sunday Dare. Dennerby is expected to return back to Nigeria this weekend. This minister dey work sha pass Dalung.

Dalung was one of the conspicuous mistakes of Buhari's first term.

That guy was a square peg in a round hole

charlesemeka85:
Will love to see olayinka in the team list for the Brazil friendly. The guy impressed me wella last night. Full of running and a good team player.

Guys, na just one game oooo.

Chai. ....

Starboytwo:
Hmmm players just coming up every angle.... Left, right, center... Everywhere players, good players...

Before yesterday I don't know who olayinka was, but the guy just played a Champions League match against Inter Milan, and didn't do badly according to reports here...

My To-watch list ever longing

Ebere eze
Ejaria
Tomori
Okechukwu u23
Dennis
Nwakali
Olayinka, and a couple more

Because of one game?

simiife:
I think Navas was treated unfairly, dis is too much 4 a world class goalie, haha

I have never regarded that guy as a World class goalie

He is just tall and that's all he has going for him. The guy isn't a top 10 goalie in my books

So you guys think that Osimhen would just score against a well organized Ajax team?

That he'll just waltz right in there and get a goal?

He still has a long way to go. Hopefully, playing against better teams will be an eye opener for him. That he is still miles behind the pro level

Please who knows the pay package for National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD)

I am asking for a friend with an MSc. Degree. Any Idea(s) is/are welcome

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah..... I read and watched the interview too. Fact is.... he is just doing this to put pressure on England. He knows what he really wants.


He says "whatever comes first"... but he rejected Nigeria's call oooo when Nigeria came first for him. Funny lad.

I wonder why people take him seriously!!

Prectega:
A carpenter does his carpentery work..
Should we really celebrate

You need serious help fast. Chai

andrew444:
Thou dont judge after 5 games

Doesn't thou see the struggles of thy player Pepe at Arsenal

For such struggles beget loathsome fans

tbaba1234:
Arsenal fans that were slagging Iwobi are now saying iwobi is better than pepe.

Hahahahahaha.
Liverpool knew that that pepe guy was overpriced and dodged a bullet.

I said it before. I wouldn't buy pepe for more than $35million

Bolowolowo:
Typical European worshipping mumu

Uncalled for bro. Not nice at all.

He didn't even insult anyone or anything in that post.

Not nice

TheSuperNerd:
This is Tomori's competition for a potential England debut....

1). Harry Maguire (Manchester utd)

2). John Stones (Man City)

3). Michael Keane (Everton)

4). James Tarkowski (Burnley)

5). Lewis Dunk (Brighton and Hove albion)

6). Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa)

7). Ben Godfrey (played beautifully for Norwich against Man City yesterday).

8 ). Joe Gomez (Liverpool)


So it will not be a walk in the park for Tomori to just get an invite and then feature.



Meanwhile for Nigeria... this is what Tomori will meet...

1). Kenneth Omeruo (Leganes)

2). Chidozie Awaziem (Leganes)

3). William Troost Ekong (Udinese)

4). Leon Balogun (Brighton and Hove Albion)

5). Semi Ajayi (West Brom)

Does Tomori see it that way?

All this young guys think about is the prestige of being called a 3 lions player even if he doesn't get to start.

That's the way it is. Even if he knows he has a better chance of commanding a starting shirt for Naija, he may feel that he can win more laurels representing England even as a bench warmer.

Joebie:
Tomori go follow teammate Tega

Yes, Tomori also wants to play for England. I'm sure about that and the fact that he is now getting quality game time with Chelsea makes him a target for the English FA. And I won't blame the lad if he chooses England over us. I too would tend towards Fried rice over garri and sugar if I had to make a choice when hungry

Joebie:
Competition always I like that. Anyone who is performing should be welcome to fight for a shirt. Someone like Samu will not be selfish if he knows the next moment someone else will take his starting spot. We need to promote competition always and excellence.

I agree with you. We should never stop seeking to improve the Super Eagles. When players know that they could loose their starting spots tlwhen they don't play to instructions, they would sit up and stop showboating.

Joebie:
Tammy should not be discussed on this thread. He is very wicket. He post us go next year and he had other ideas. Pinnick suppose don see the handwriting on the wall.

Tammy will represent England. Its obvious that has always been his target. There's no need to sugarcoat it. But I'm really not worried. While our attackers may be average now, they are equally young, have raw talent and are hungry. They are also starters for their various clubs. So, there is no reason to fret. Me, I don't think we will miss Tammy

komekn:
I disagree completely with you.

Pounded Yam is Pounded Yam whether you eat it at Obalende or Peckham.

When Danny Shittu came to the SE what did he need to learn. Or l could mention Etuhu. Both of them physically domineering.

When l said that Sadiq Umar would struggle in league one l was given dogs abuse. But that's now proven. Was he Umar not playing Africa football.

In terms of strength it's not necessarily size but muscle intensity. That's why l keep saying Oviemuno is deceptively strong. He is not easily bullied off the ball.

In term of Physicallity l don't think anyone in the current SE will contend with Chuks Aneke.

The lower leagues in English football are very physical and rough. Aribo will hold his own against anybody in the upcoming AFCON. In my opinion Ndidi is not necessarily physically stronger than Aribo.

My brother, oil dey your head.

I agree with you 100%
