Nice Job with the ever busy Per Mertersacker on u23. So Sanchez and Eriksen are the unlucky guys in football. Both left their respective clubs to "win trophies" But 1 dey never see!! If you hear Sanchez is coming back, will you agree?  |

chrisooblog: musa did well in russia and holland yes saudi league is low level but won't use that to say (yet) he has lost it. happy you used the gnabry example flopping in EPL is not the end of the world.
still insist it's premature to call KC a flop in the EPL.
Kayode struggled in Spain and Ukraine but is finding his feet in Turkey. he was given good game time in the SE still needs to prove himself.
Umar yes struggled in scotland but how much game time was he given coupled with the fact that gerrard totally didn't rate him. again like the gnabry example you cited just because a coach doesn't rate you doesn't mean you can't turn the corner.
the bold is the reason I argue with you sometimes because of the fluid nature of football i can't declare someone as a categorical flop. Solanke could wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow start bagging goals in the EPL. you can criticize a player when he's obviously not performing to expectations but when he starts doing better and turning the corner it would be unfair to the player to start doubting him based on passed performances. it will be like insisting thierry henry is a seria a when he later turned out to be one of the greatest players of his generation. so if people are happy and see encouragement in Iheanacho and nwakali's recent games let them be.
football is a funny game you can be a late boomer like drogba, vardy etc or progress naturally. it's all about improving your game. lovely take... |

Edopesin: This doesn't even prove anything The award was given to him out of discretion and not because he was exceptional. What is exceptional about scoring 2 goals both from the penalty spot for Nigeria and 1 League goal the whole season?
What stats did he have in 2013 to make him deserve the award? 
You're just going in circles and at the end of the day his stats only show how piss poor he is as a winger Thought you said you're not downplaying?! I rest my case. |

Is this not worse than Isaac Success's case? Imagine assaulting a policeman in a foreign country

That match vex me no be small. Vicmo,after his impressive showings at the qualifiers was our team's star going to the WC. Tournament start finish, dude was just falling over the place...playing big boy football. Don't get me wrong. As i defend VicMo, i also wrote about his annoying side. It is what it is.

mostob: I have never downplay Moses' contributions to the AFCON we won. Saying he SINGLEHANDEDLY won the cup for us is just laughable. The AFCON sef was won 7 years ago. If moses reverses his retirement decision and there is space for him then he will be welcomed. But begging or persuading him to come back is a no no. He paid his dues already...we should move on. I'm not on the single handedly table. But he was a major contributor. I'm highly against the downgrade with the comparism on the national front. Its wack. |

Olulong: Onyekuru at 22 is at Monaco
VicMo at 22 was battling relegation with Wigan
okay o At 23, Osaze was at Lille Does that now mean Onyekuru is better? The Monaco he's yet to score for or hold a place down in yet. This is just like saying cos Solanke is in Liverpool then he is better. Modified European champions Chelsea looked at the relegation guy and got him on board Pls Show me where that has happened for Onyekuru since Monaco? .i hate this cos it is more an in house drag now... |

Provided these haven't faltered, its is still valid. Till then.
I'd love a young setup going forward. Even if these two dont get the invite, it's gonna be out of choice rather than form. The Late Keshi did it for the Afcon squad final selections too. |

It's you guys that are overrating him my guy, Vicmo for SE was far from exceptional he was just there along with the rest
Why exactly do you think we need him ahead of the rest of our wingers? Guy.....we watched VicMo too na. Which kine insult be this one now? Just like that o? |

elunico: Single-handedly retired too. Doesn't this qualify as folly - you picking him over the talents we currently have on ground? Let talents prove their mettle in the NT then we can call it case closed. Osaze equally proved himself and none of these current talents till further notice, come close. The fact is LET them be tested!!!! Only Nacho, Iwobi so far has been tested enough. Till then Talents remains Talent!! Many history abound to prove that. They both may be finished to us, but a Coach might just disagree with our talk by including them. They are definitely not extra luggage, as far as SE is concerned. |

charlesemeka85: Bros Ighalo and vic Moses have paid their dues and should move on. And who told you osimhen is not technically sound? Kid is still work in progress and won't turn world class overnight but so far he is well positioned talent wise to spearhead the attack of this current super eagles.
Behind osimhen we still have dessers, Iheanacho, Maja, Onuachu, Nwankwo and even Moffi. Any of these guys can be called upon to be worthy back up to osimhen who is the undisputed first choice currently in the team.
I am a big fan of iggy but it will be ill advised for him to return to the team Most of us not wanting them back are on this "paid their dues" table. Guy if we need experience that can play in the XI, Ighalo and VicMo are just that. We don't need experience that will be inspiring from the bench. Na only us wan make players not above 35 to just waka from NT despite good performances. And lemme add I rate Osimhen very highly But he will need an Afcon where he is the top striker to make me rate him above those that have that same top spot at afcon. The physical side of Afcon no be beans. Emenike, VicMo, Ideye, Ighalo, Moses, have tried this waters and have passed the test of coming tops when push comes to shove.... Till then. |

Olulong: Moses was the reason we won??
If victor Moses was that important why was Mikel nominated for African player of the year for that year and Moses was overlooked (despite the fact that they both won the Afcon and Europa league that year) I won't say he's the reason we won, but we all know how these afcon individual awards always go. We all know. Chai. |

Nigeria played six games en route to the title. How many Man of the Match awards did Victor Moses win?

mostob: o boy...this vicmo argument funny die. Pls...NFF and Rohr should allow Ighalo and vicmo retire in peace. We are still trying to squeeze in Ejuke and Henry, na those old cargoes we go recall? In fact,Musa's spot in the team is being threatened. Ighalo and vicmo have paid their dues. We move on. Those shouting experience yen yen yen...experience in football nowadays is loosing its value. How old are Mbappe,Sancho,Saka,Haaland,Trent yet these guys are putting up excellent performance. It is as you say. But we should never cos of these newbies that haven't been tested in the national setup, downplay whatever good contributions Vic has in the Afcon we won. I believe we all watched all the matches. Why are many now tryna make it seem like he's a bang average contributor to that Gold? The argument asides I'd prefer someone that makes SE clicks and causes fear to opponents, and have an average club contribution over a player that have great stats at club level but is ineffective in the SE setup. The Musa that gave us 4 important wC goals was ineffective at Leicester... Many would write him off cos of that.... Maybe myself too. But in SE.... |

forgiveness: Gbam Im shocked that Onyekuru that is still starting is used to downplay what VicMo has done for SE. Anybody should remove VicMo from the equation of SE and we are back to HBP days. Its just that simple. I prefer a VicMo that will create goal chances, miss some too, and make us still feel that our attack is lethal and can punish opponents Than Have an SE just passing back and forth and attack is very very lame and uninspiring. Especially as those Supporters Club dry use their trumpets dey sing "He's a Miracle Working God"!! I don't expect anyone to downplay VicMo's contributions to the SE. He has his annoying side, no doubt.. But contributions wise, the other two still be learners. |
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by daveP(m): 7:01pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Can Onyekuru dorn the armor of VicMo's Contributions to the SE? No!!
Dude is even yet to break into the XI of SE.
Chuks is just starting and is on a good track.
For SE level, VicMo annoyed us with his selfishness...He was a threat to oppositions. Sometimes we watched stupid flow in attack and wished for yhe intro of VicMo and he didnt disappoint. We havr done just that for Chuks at yhe last afcon, but no Onyekuru...
When both have a steady flow in their Club's XI for seasons, then we can compare. |

Danielnino00: But he signed Mahrez,Bony,Seydou Keita,Benatia and even our own Kayode
While u think he is racist, I think he has a preference to certain players...
Come to think of it, how many tactically gifted players has Africa even produced?
I'm not talking about prolific goalscorers or rugged defenders o.. I'm talking about tactically gifted players like De Bryune, Xavi,Iniesta,Messi,Silva,etc... The kinds Guardiola likes... Technically Mahrez ain't African to start with. Next signing black players aint one iota lf proof. Yunno pep, signing and his plans are two different things. Ighalo is on Ole's bench now. And even oyinbo fans are rattled at that. Dunno why they care so much now that they are out of winning any trophy this season. Stop tryna prove Africans are alien to the talent talk. That's what i won't accept. There are equally loads of europeans Asians in the mix, but no one would point there cos as usual, we feel na we dey yan truth pass. Its okay. That's why i love Klopp. He sees raw gold and instead of follow the pep route, he plays a vital role. Anything that would make a renowned african legend that have won ucl, epl, la liga.... To begin to doubt why he was benchedand start to think twas cos of his skin.... A pro for that matter. If Giroud is benched the way Yaya was, Giroud would know something was up.... Any pro player would... But Yaya is a City legend treated like some division star... That's just too far... Ni matter the preference excuse which i find crappy for a manager that has spent the most in world of club football.... Some have proved his bias right... But that's bound to happen if he has same bias at other races. So..... |

Danielnino00: Maybe players born in Africa aren't tactically astute as their counterparts born in Europe.. We all know that Pep likes players who are tactically gifted... And let's face it, Africa doesn't have the kind of infrastructure that would aid players development at grassroot level..
But to say Pep is racist is simply not true! Its Pep that should face such denigration of African players. Haba na. Don't even go there. So if there are 10 african players in a pic of 50, you won't see 5 that are better than 30 others? See no coat the matter. Yaya toure mata os still fresh. Cut no slacks for pep abeg. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Can God Blame Me For Not Telling A Church Member What God Told Me As A Pastor? by daveP(m): 4:32pm On Aug 16, 2020 |
Beosten: Let me start from here: I have what it takes to be a pastor and I had numerous visions that confirmed my calling. But I have a disability, and I refused to go into pastoral ministry since 2005. I came into the full-time ministry a few months ago. I came into the ministry because it seemed God was the one punishing me for refusing to do the needful.
Then a church member came to me for blessing saying that her child already procured visa to travel out. That was before covid19 break. I prayed for the child. But God revealed to me in a vision at night that the child should not leave Nigeria, and that it will end in tears. I didn't tell them anything about the vision and the child left Nigeria.
The child has just been deported and a lot of money down the drain.
How should a pastor handle this kind of thing without offending those looking for counseling? I will pray for forgiveness, but can God hold me accountable for this error? You do know well that its very wrong from a biblical pov that refraining from saying what God told you to say is? You're looking onto respect of persons. In Ezekiel and also in Deut, its clearly stated there the consequences for refraining. While that was OT, it should help thtow light to the fact that not telling has greater repercussions than telling. Agabus close eye and still said Paul will be arrested. In modern times, thats like a prophet telling Pas Adeboye to not travel to UK ot he'd get arrested. But Agabus delivered. You didn't sin against man, but against God. Ask for forgiveness. It doesnt need to be about death before you consider it above all permutations to be very important. Learn from when prophet Jeremiah tried to store prophesying.... It felt like hot coals in his bowels. Anyways.... Its not the end... But deliver as received. And pray if circumstances won't allow. |
