Few solutions

1. Restructure this "contraption" into 3 nations & make the native language the lingua-franca in each nation.

2. Revamp the whole Legislative & create a new constitutional laws.

3. Discard the old crappy educational system and replace it with Plato's philosophy (mode) of education.

4. No more fiat/paper money. Embrace electronic currency.

5. Ban all religious practices (both Xtianity & Islam).

6. 100% focus on the Agriculture sector.

7. Place ban on certain SM platforms: FB, IG, Twitter.

Backward thinking.

Please what's the rationale behind this?

Those SM platforms have brought justice, democracy and they stimulate the economy of many Nations.

The black man is truly backward

which keeper?.. if u want to get a keeper from the local league, do you have one in mind, or we just leave that to the GK coach?
That man called Alloy Agu is the real mechanic of the team.

Hmm,someone quoted me and said that also ,that means there must be something special about etebo
Yes. He may just be the long lost playmaker we have been searching for the way middle aged man searches for a befitting wife.

All he needs is guidance and a good coach to play under

Then wetin e find go stoke at first ?

I don't think playing for sassuolo or Atlanta fiorentina will be an issue for him
Do you know what?

I want Etebo to even leave England entirely unless he is going to play under Pep or Klopp

He would benefit from playing in the Spanish or Italian League, They are more technical

Any average English coach would just turn him to a destroyer and we have enough of that already.

Oga Joebie, I am in support with Chriskels on this one. The league he plies his trade in is just too low. Bringing down our standards just because we want a quick fix would backfire.

Akpeyi was a starter at Chippa united when he was being shaky in goal for the super eagles... Even when he joined Kaizer chiefs, he started a few games until his poor performance came into play..no be today people no want Akpeyi for post..
As for Ezenwa, why did he keep getting call ups even when he dropped to third choice goalkeeper at Enyimba? If he wasn't good enough to start for Enyimba but he kept getting call ups to the SE..that was the issue...

Oga,we have serious issue with our goalkeeping department ..If u don't want goalies like Almpasu to be invited then I guess u are contended with having Uzoho, Ezenwa and Akpeyi again for the next 2 years...
Oga, I know we have serious GK issues and I am as worried as a passionate fan can be. But you don't replace refuse with sewage in your house if you want a clean environment. Alampasu is not the answer bro.

Because he isn't playing regularly at his club doesn't mean he has regressed.

Our goalkeeping situation needs urgent attention and inviting a bench warmer like Alampasu at this time doesn't sound bad at all...
Isn't this double standards?

Haven't we accused Akpeyi and Ezenwa of bench warming and citing it as one of the reasons they don't merit the invitations?

Alampasu doesn't merit any invitation if his situation doesn't improve

The only keeper I have in mind is Dele Alampasu and that is because when I saw him in Uyo he was so hard to beat and then you remember he is 6'4.
Uyo of 2015 or 2016

That dude has barely played for his club

He has regressed. Please, let's stop holding on to past glory

safarigirl:
and so?

What does that have to do with being a decent goalie? The guy is 20 years old at most, and has many years ahead of him, we aren't expecting him to be Donnaruma and he isn't coming to be first choice.

As long as he plays, that is fine.

Carl Ikeme was playing in the championships when he became our goalie in his thirties, in his twenties he was in division 3. We need a shot stopper and the league rarely tells the whole story for a goalie.

There are third choice goalies in thr Premier League that haven't kicked a ball in that league.
Aunty, Regionaliga isn't championship

There isn't any basis for comparison

I don't think he is good enough for the second team of the Super Eagles sef.

Ikeme was first choice in a team that was on the verge of gaining promotion to the Premier league.

This guy may not even be as good as Uzoho.

I was one of the people that had high hopes on Iwobi but the truth is the boy is over hyped. Its gradually becoming obvious Iwobi cant even keep a ball on his feet...so much for a "playmaker"....poor passes, zero aerial abilities, zero ball control and disgraceful physical strength for a boy born in Naija
I have said this before. Iwobi is just overhyped because he starts for arsenal. We need serious competition so that these guys would sit up.

Iwobi is inconsistent and comparable to Ighalo in this regard. He needs to sot up as well

If I may proffer a solution... I pray Isaac success can rejuvenate his career and get his form back,he fits d position perfectly dan any Candidate we av at d moment,provided success take his career serious and get his form back

nacho too is also gud,if he can get his form back,but I will prefer him to slug it out as a no 8 position/or playmaker role with iwobi ,and I wish nwakaeme shld b given a 2nd chance... But it seems ppu don't want to hear dt guys name again,but I believe he can come good,if d given d chance to proof himself again. cool
All these guys you mentioned are a NO NO for any serious coach.

Nwakaeme looks like he is the same age as John Ogu.

Isaac Success is not serious and with all the starts he has been given, he has the goal ratio of an average defender

Iheanacho will need one season to prove us wrong as yo why he needs a call up

Being young and energetic does not equate to physical prowess and dominance.

Every league is different and they are not always the same quality and they all have different attributes and styles.

For instance La Liga is very technical but not as Physical Fast and competitive as the EPL.

This implies that each of these league will have different preferences with player selection.

The Belguim league is not a physical league it's more technical based and isn't on the same quality in any way shape or form as the Bundesliga.

The Scottish league has a low rating in Europe around number 20 but the Belguim league is number 8. Nonetheless, the Scottish league is very physical and requires players to have a good degree of physicallity.

That's why Sadiq Umar completely flopped in Rangers but did above average in the Eredivisie just like the Belguim league it's not very physical. And Sadiq though tall is a paper weight.

Essentially physicality is not an essential player requirement to excel in the Belguim. Why do you think Lukaku was destroying the league at 16huh ❓ If I'm right he was the top goal scorer at 16.

So your proposition assumption is wrong.

Please do not misrepresent my comments, you can make informed predictions based on a player current attributes about a player but nobody can determine the future.

My comments were specific , l reiterate with regards to the HERE and NOW Osimhen is very far off from Ighalo and is currently not the solution to Nigeria need for a striker CURRENTLY.
So, who is the solution to the No 9 conundrum NOW

Never heard about it.
Similar to Euro Nations league

36 Teams are separated into 3 leagues; League A, League B and League C

What league a country belongs to depends on FIFA ranking.

Nigeria for example is in league A along with the superpowers of African football.

12 countries are in league A and they will be separated into 4 groups of 3 teams each.

League B: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

League C: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

League D: 8 teams with 2 groups of 4 teams each

Each team in the groups will play home and away.

Teams that qualify as first in each group of League A (4 teams) will then face off in a semi-final (home and away).

A final will then be played in a chosen venue.

Teams that come last in each group of League A (4 teams)will be demoted to League B

While four best performing teams in League B will replace the relegated teams from League A

The same style of promotion and demotion also applies to teams in League C and League D

It is styled after the Euro Nations league I think

For those of you wondering what’s next, the CAF nations league will start shortly. As a matter of fact, the first set of matches will occur in the beginning of Sept.
