FC Augsburg newcomer Noah Sarenren Bazee still harbors the ambition of playing international football for Nigeria and has revealed that he is in contact with manager Gernot Rohr ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The exciting winger was in contention to be named on the Super Eagles roster for the 2018 World Cup but struggled with knee problems for a significant period which prevented Rohr from including him in the provisional squad list for the tournament in Russia.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his fitness, he honored the invitation of the Nigeria Football Federation to train with the Super Eagles in London ahead of a friendly against Senegal in March 2017.

The 22-year-old has been following the progress of the Super Eagles and praised their performance in the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations.

Speaking to transfermarkt.de, Bazee said : ''I am still in contact with Gernot Rohr. The Africa Cup of Nations showed the great potential there is in the team.

''If I stay healthy and play consistent games, I'm sure I'll get a new invitation."

The German-born winger has 15 Bundesliga appearances under his belt since his debut in April 2016.

Lol, na so


I support divorce only if the union is causing emotional trauma or physical pains.

Divorce is not sin in my eyes . There are people out there who are not meant to be married , marry them and see how one crash lands from top to bottom and become a nervous wreck.

So Oga save us the sermon about divorce .
Gbam.

No need for argument

Me, I no dey argue truths. If divorce is a sin, then I guess it Gods will for an Abused woman to die in the hands of her pharaoh

Thank you Sir Terzurum5.

But you see this dawn begins now and even precedes Afcon 2021.

By Afcon 2021, we will be witnessing most likely a higher metamorphosis of the team into a stronger force if the key things go well.


I think it should be,

"The Super Eagles Thread: The Dawn of a New Era and Roads to Afcon 2021 & Qatar 2022."



Also, we should create an Olympics thread as we did before... Unless the house wants us to include discussions on the Dream Team VII (U-23 Dream Team Eagles) here meaning we have to add Tokyo 2020 too.
Its a better idea to discuss all here.

Multiple threads is just too much stress

Tele santana and rinus michels before him used local players(yes their leagues were quality) to show how to impress and win trophies
Marcelo lippi did the same in 2006 after trap(of all coaches) failed with italy
Lampard went from a 10 goal scoring midfielder to chelsea's all time top scorer
It's not magic
Westerhof dumped all the trouble makers from SE and picked local boys for 1990 afcon and we reached the final

It's not coincidence
U either plan to win or plan to fail
Oga the dutch league is miles apart from the Nigerian farmers league. There is no basis for comparison

And you're busy comparing the Nigerian league from 1990 to 2019, that's 29 years of backwardness, ineptitude and regression

You have no basis for comparison

Odunayaw:
Did this drain quality in their leagues. What are you missing?

Why is the league not replenishing as much as they lose (Considering that we aren't even losing in numbers)
CR9 left but that didn't diminish the value of players coming from the Portuguese leagues.

The bulk of the senior team started their careers from Portugal.

Our league is crap due to poor management and corruption. It may take 20 yrs of hard work to build a quality league.

But in Naija, as soon as leadership changes hands, the new guard tends to put down and destroy the work of the old guard and thus, there is no continuity.

So give or take, it will take 100 yrs to build a quality NPFL

Colin Udoh isn't saying anything new. This is obvious to anyone who is an ardent follower of Nigerian football.
He is right. Its quite sad but sometimes I wonder if our local coaches play football matches with sound tactics or just tell their players to kick the ball to the nearest person. Also, these NPFL players don't even know the basics of the game. Colin Udoh is very right

We can set high standards but we need to scout every nook and cranny to unearth hidden gems. Lower tiers are a good place to search for quality talents.

The quality of the player is where you set the standard.

Leicester assistant coach, Chris Davies: "(I’m) Very pleased,” Davies said after
Saturday’s game at the New York Stadium.
"Kel (Iheanacho) is a threat. He’s got a lot of attributes, (he’s) quick, strong, has a good
technique, HE’S A FINISHER , and it’s difficult.


“He’s playing second fiddle really to one of the
Premier League’s best striker’s in Vards, so he
has to be patient, he has to do his best to
develop himself through training.

“He’s been doing that. He’s come back hungry
and strong, he scored a hat-trick in a pre-
season training game the other day and now
he’s done that today.

“He scored two, he could have had more and to
be fair the goals he did score, he took them
very well. There are a couple more he could
have scored but we need goals and it’s really
promising.”

franchasng:
After Nigeria's independence, Igbos were the majority in Nigerian army, and Igbos make up around 70% of top military officers in Nigerian army then, so it was natural for Igbos to be the dominant tribe in any military coup at that time.

But in their effort to make the rest of gullible Nigerians believe it was an Igbo coup, they intentionally removed names of military officers from Hausa, Tiv, Idoma, Urhobo, Ijaw, Kanuri, etc that also participated in that 1966 Nzeogwu led coup just to make sure the rest of Nigerians saw it as Igbo coup.

They forgot that Igbos don't have time to be gathering to discuss against any tribe or any region as at then, instead Major Nzeogwu and his co aggrieved military officers drawn from all Nigerian tribes made the decision to wipe out the then corrupt, tribalistic politicians at that time, and they knew for them to achieve this, they needed to eliminate some top military officers who would stand against their mission, and the reason they ended up killing not just politicians but some top military officers too.

An Igbo coup, yet Ojukwu never liked or agreed with Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and co that were the leaders of that coup....the problem Nigeria has always had is that majority of Northern Nigerians don't have sense.....they refuse to be educated, they spend the time they are supposed to use to acquire civil education cramming ancient barbaric religious doctrines of Islam that has never helped any nation of the world to become technologically and economically developed!

It was Tafawa Belewa's religous extremism and tribalism like today Buhari that pushed Nzeogwu and fellow military chaps to carry out the first coup, and if we had brave, courageous military guys in Nigerian army today, the corruption and negligence happening within Nigerian top military brass and the politicians leading to the unwarranted killings of our young military officers by ragtag Boko Haram militants that ought to be defeated by one army barrack, would have led to another bloody coup in Nigeria angry
I'm not Igbo. In fact I am Yoruba but all you said is true. The problem is people don't take out time to read and find out facts from themselves. They only just hate the Igbo's for no reason and thus they will look for ant reason even blatant lies to justify genocide.

If the Igbo's have their shortcomings as a tribe, so do other tribes as no one is perfect. Hate and genocide against another tribe for no reason is what I womy support irrespective of party affiliation.

Education › Re: Is Second Class Upper Still Possible.?? by darkelf: 3:17pm On Jul 27, 2019
Guy, I'll be honest with you.

It'll be hard but doable.

Firstly, don't calculate any needed GPA needed to grad with 2.1

Just aim to have all As in your courses henceforth. Whether its quantum physics, nuclear physics or even electromagnetic theory. Just aim to have As in all your courses.

The reason I'm saying this is if you aim for the sun, you may fall on the moon. Now, should you achieve As on all your courses, you will probably end up with a strong 2.1 or a first class.

Don't be discouraged by some comments here. Some grad with 2.2 and it'll make them feel better if you join their group.

Don't give up or give in.

You may need to change your reading style. Or even your friends and your reading environment.

Then, you can volunteer your services as a research assistant to a professor or any other lecturer. The reason I'm saying this is because it will .ake you learn the basic principles of physics better.

Change your friends and understudy the really brilliant ones. They don't have to be on physics dept per say maybe in math or chemistry. Just have a clear goal (All As) and map out your master plan.

Then, learn some computer and statistics tools so that you can learn basic calculations principles. This isn't a time to slack off.

It is well. See you at the top

I am not an advocate of video clips as the main tool to asses players it is too easily contrived and manipulated to make players look better than they actually are. When i submit video clips i only submit 5-7 minute clips of individual games not merge 5/6 games into one clip to make you look like Neymar when you are more like Phil Neville.

Aribo is tough battling midfielder who has fought his way against all odds to get to where he is, he hant been schooled in the technical niceties of the game but he is a warrior and he is somewhat similar to Gerrard in his style of play. Now that's the pertinent phrase STYLE OF PLAY.

So i am going to put three Youtube videos of these 4 players Aribo, Eze, Onomah,
and Chuks which gives a clear indication of thier STYLE OF PLAY then you can answer the question which most suites the 9ja way or if you like historical organisation delivery ethos of the SE.
