Goke7:
with your very long post, still you were not able to defend uche properly, if uche was the best striker as you stated, he should have gotten a brace against S.A. or at least a goal, nearly cannot kill a bird, if you can make excuses for uche, I can also make excuses for keshi but we don't need those long stories now:

Bottom Line: They all failed Nigerians whether it is keshi, uche and all players and staff that were on duty period. No one should be excluded!
Your opinion my bruv and I respect that. But the buck stops at the coach (or Leader) that selects and manages. It's why they are fired and hired and this will not be an exception.

Goke7:
The guy is only man enough to admit that keshi made errors in the match against S.A. why do you want to hang him over that? All the supporters of uche should also come out to admit that uche did not merit his comeback to the eagles after all, they told us that he was the messiah, Let them come out and explain why he failed to deliver when it matters most.
1. First, if you are a good coach and the fans want to force a player who you don't want on u, you stand your ground or resign. He stood his ground but his results got worse with time leading to the revolt by fans and his sack, and eventual reinstatement by GEJ. By this time the game was almost up.

2. Uche is a good player and has served this country well. There are many good players that are not being invited by Keshi for reasons best known to him: Martins, Uche Kalu,Haruna Lukman, Iheanacho etc. There are better defenders and choices in this country of 170 million people than Egwuekwe, aged Ambrose and an out-of-form Omeruo and an average Agbim. A coach who is quarelling with or not using his best players and not producing results at the same time is calling for a revolt by the fans and that's what happened.

3. We needed a miracle in Congo and to win our last match at home with SA. He brought in Uche, who played well and scored in the first game (a penalty) which we won 2-0, though we were poor generally. Uche was also his best striker and tormentor-in-chief against SA, as Musa had a bad a game and Emenike was unfit as usual (what coach allows unfit players to play at the expense of other good players he should have called up or those on the bench? It beats me). One goal and one assist in two games is not a bad statistic for a striker my bro.

Bottomline: the buck stops with Keshi and the Master that called him back. Leave Uche or the fans out of this!

[b]It is people like you that are the problem. You can still write Coach Keshi is clueless tactically and technically.

I am sorry. You are wrong. First of all, that man worked under a crazy condition. He was terminated his job twice during his reign. Worked without pay for months and lacked talents. What do you want him to do? His mistake was succumbing to pressure.

Let is start with a tactical point. The Coach of South Africa is sound technically. I am sure you would agree that. Did you watch how Coach Keshi made the SA Coach's playbook look like thrash. If Muisa took his chances, we would have been three goals up. Uche squandered lots of goals, including a one on one chance.

So, tell me how he is tactically clueless?

My problem with Coach Keshi is simple. I supported him because he had his approach to the game and followed it. He succumbed to pressure. He brought back Uche. Giving Aluko that run would have been better. Emenike should have been dropped and Aaron Samuel should have started.

That is where he failed. Succumbing to pressure from guys like you. Please we outplayed South Africa in that game. A tactical and clueless coach can not. So you guys make real points.[/b]
We have heard you. I will come back to you when we start building a new team and new/good/great players start emerging. 170 million Nigerians and a Coach chooses an awkward and slow Egwuekwe, an unfit Omeruo and an out of form Emenike. Benches his best creative midfielder, Aluko. Sorry for you o. SA took us to the cleaners. I don't even want to argue this with u. We only dominated the game towards the last 10 mins @ 2 goals down and with Aluko's introduction.

Well, I saw all these before and cried out here: https://www.nairaland.com/1810220/opinion-keshi-should-not-given

But your likes would have none of that. Now, that the worst has happened, the shame should pass round to all Keshi sychophants too. Abeg collect ya own joor!

chucky234:
Even in the match against Congo Uche played badly with the penalty he scored his only positive contribution, twisting and dribbling doesnt make one a good player, if in doubt ask Dennilson of Brazil.
The mere fact that Uche is rated €2.5m shows he is a mediocre player.
Read my writeup slowly so you can understand me fully before responding.
Who said only twisting and turning makes a good player.

With a frontline of Emenike (off form) and Musa (bad day), Uche did well bruv. He was the best forward on the day.

Well, your opinion. Good day.
SportsRe: IK Uches Is Overrated by DeeMain(m): 9:02am On Nov 20, 2014
Uche's talent glowed in this match pls. His ball control was sublime. He held the ball well, dribbled, twisted and turned well in a parked 18, his link-up play was good. For the goal, he created space for himself and hit the bar and Aluko scored the rebound. Yea, there were some mistakes but who says we need a saint or Mr Perfect? We need good players and Uche is one hell of a good player! Apart from Aluko, there was no better player than Uche on that pitch yesterday. Coach Keshi, not calling him up, and some other in form players was a huge mistake and in bad taste. Naija fans were right.

So put your blame where it should be: Keshi + GEJ!

SportsRe: Keshi & Crew, Players, Or NFF: Who Is To Blame For Poor Eagles Performance? by DeeMain(m): 8:14am On Nov 20, 2014
thegoodjoehunt3:
[b]Coach Keshi Failed Nigerians

I am writing this with a broken heart. Today's match against South Africa at Uyo was supposed to be a winning game. The signs was there. However, Coach Keshi like all other previous coaches fell into the same problem. Yielding to pressure to stick to the so called Super Eagles.

At Uyo, we watched a team that showed promise. There were players there that could fill in the regions we were lacking. Most notably, Emem Eduok. His movement and brilliance around the eighteen yard box was something we lacked a long time. It is sad, we had such a player and he never got his opportunity.

The biggest mistake of the night was Coach Keshi not giving Aluko a chance to start. Sone Aluko was the reason we had a chance to turn the match around. He brought in spark to the team in the game against Sudan. The second leg match. He was refreshing, creative and played with passion. He had the same impact in the match against Congo. I thought the lad had done enough to merit a starting role. Why he did not start? I can not understand. If we started with Aluko, the game would have been different.

How Emenike gets a chance to play terrible and merit his starting shirt? Beats my imagination. I remember during the last game, I hoped whoever came on for Emenike should score and take his place. It happened that Aaron Samuel came in for Emenike and scored.

Why Aaron Samuel did not start? Shocking. Finally, Onazi might be a hard worker, but he is technically deficient. He leaves the simple to go for he extraordinary and achieves worse than the ordinary. Joseph Nathaniel should have started.

Coach Keshi developed a habit of letting players playing poorly continue. He had done a good job, raising new stars for the team. However, when he needed them the most, he did not use them.

If I am correct, Coach Keshi did not use his third substitution. It was clear, Emenike out for Emem Eduok. That is why I started this article pointing out Emem Eduok. Coach Keshi not making that change was disappointing. If there is any lesson he should learn from this match, always punish poor performers by benching them.

Ahmed Musa, the thunder that will fire you is still doing press up. Nansense.

FamilyRe: How To Tolerate Cheating Husband. by DeeMain(m): 3:44pm On Nov 18, 2014
Ma'am, you appear intelligent and good so I'm going to address u as one.

Your options are not A or B as you've made it seem. Have you had a showdown or open communication talk with him? Have u gone to pastors, counsellors or coaches/therapists? I purposely used plurals ma. Have you drawn boundaries with him and kept them if he crossed them? Have you asked him what's missing in your marriage now that's making him want to ruin everything? Have u told him the cost? Have you told him how deeply you are hurting and asked him where he is hurting in your marriage with a view to both of you retracing your steps?

Note: I have listed these few options believing you are a good commnicator or will learn how to before you talk with him.

My point is Smart people know that options are not just 2, they are actually many. List your options, work through them. If nothing else works, which I doubt, since you said he is a good man, then you can come to other 'risky' options. Till then try to save it first before destroying it as you are planning to.

I say No to cheating by either men or women. I only gave u this advice because you are the party looking for a solution. If your husband was the one who posted seeking for help, my advice would be different.
SportsRe: Why Keshi Won't Drop Mikel Obi: His Professionalism by DeeMain(m): 3:06pm On Nov 04, 2014
thegoodjoehunt3:
If Coach Keshi wants to bring in a player from Malta, people will shout.

By the way, replacing Mikel is not easy. Technically brilliant players are difficult to find. Look at Italy, since 2000 until today, they have not been able to replace Pirlo. Xavi and Xabi Alonso was irreplaceable until Thiago Alcantara came along.

Super Eagles have had very great players but only Finidi George, Kanu and Mikel have showed technical brilliance in the Super Eagles. It is hard to explain this quality. I never watched Coach Keshi play in midfield, but I heard he was that sort of player.

They spend more time reading the game than playing it.

So it is not just about scouting players.
Bros Keshi was a defender that liked to overlap not a midfielder please. And don't insult the memory of such fine footballers with this inane comparison with Mikel abeg you.

Now this is a whole nother dimension.. cool


This is not a PDP or APC thing. I wouldnt walk down that street with you..

But the media we are talking about here is entertainment mostly. CNN, BBC, etc are generic and SA has no content there. The Local news on DSTV are mostly from local stations; AIT, STV, NTA and co.. So this media propaganda line dosent quite click with me.. Sorry!
I don't give a hoot about party too! It so happens that PDP has been in power for the last 15 years - that's why I called them out.

Now to the main point. Would a serious nation that understands the power of media allow another country such air waves control? Would China, US, Russia, UK, even SA allow it? We do not understand media at all. Programs that champion SA way of life, values and culture, fashion, music, drama, morals, stories, sexuality etc are being bombarded us and you are calling it just entertainment? Really?

Guy, media is a big deal!

Now look at this:

Cable TV is not part of your constitutional right. The worst the government can do is to open up a cable company. And on that front, I wish them luck. grin
That's not entirely true. Media is a big deal. Cable TV is colonization (culture, religion, moral, values, beliefs, propaganda, agenda, politics) by another means. Any serious government would have checkmated this colonization of Nigeria by SA a long time ago.

Laughing at folks saying it's all business. Hahaha!

Can you imagine this happening in China or America? Another nation taking complete control of your cable tv air waves and space? They know the meaning of Media. Most of us think it's just watching football or movies. Giant of Africa my foot!

It's why most strategic politicians have media (TV and Newspapers/magazines) arms. They understand the game.

Keshi, that's not news. We know all our institutions, including sports, are in shambles. Our greedy and inept politicians and leaders have insured that. What's news is the level of technical, tactical and managerial incompetence you displayed as a coach and manager on this particular assignment.

RomanceRe: Inlove Wit A Clean Cute Agbero by DeeMain(m): 6:15am On Sep 25, 2014
My advice is: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.' If she cannot see herself having agbero-like children and agbero visitors and agbero problems for the rest of her life then she should just kill this lust now before it consumes her.

That's how Robin Givens ruined her promising life and almost lost it lusting (or was it loving?) after Mike Tyson (a real American agbero, the real street himself) at the peak of his career and fame. Time told her what common sense couldn't tell her in the beginning: "you can take a boy away from the hood but you can't take the hood away from the boy."

ISpiksDaTroof: Well, contrary to your accusations I do not hate Ibos. For what? Sure, out of all the groups in Nigeria, when it comes to monetary transactions I wouldn't trust them farther than I could throw them, but that doesn't mean I hate them.

Before PDP agents attacked NL and wiped off most of our old posts--- like you can attest to--- I usually came on here in neutrality. But, your ibo brothers would not let me be. Constantly attacking whatever views they deemed unpopular. Tell me, who boasts, chests beats, and constantly antagonizes others on here more than your kin? I state facts as I see them and if my saying things like " Ibos are as religiously and ethnically intolerant like the Hausas they love to condemn" or "Nigerians should call the bluff of the Ibos and vote out this criminal govt" is what makes you think I hate yall, then, hey....

But rest assured, I don't. Yall just need to do some character searching and stop irritating others so much with your attitude.
I would have loved to spar with you and really debate this out but I do not have the time now and do not see the need.

I'll leave you with this: hate begets hate, pain begets pain, hurting people hurt people. This saying was true in 1966 and during that regrettable war and is still true today on NL and in our lives. By your bias and obvious hate you perpetuate the hate.

We are all connected. When we hate others we hate ourselves inadvertently, and worse, we sow seeds of hate.. Every action is a seed. The seeds of hate sown by our fathers in this country is still growing. We must find creative ways to stop them now.

Only few strong people are able to rise above the miasma of the hate/pain/hurt cycle. You disempower yourself when you engage your intelligence in causing pain. The empowering thing is to speak life to others. Extricate yourself from this trap. Love instead.

My 2 cents to you.

And this is for some e-warrior reading this too: Igbo, Yoruba, etc - when we hate, hate grows in us. Let's let go. Forgive. Grow. Love.

Praise God!

I said it! Ebola has no cure for now! Forget the Zmapp ish. The only cure for it is the old reliable - faith! I have been reasoning that the mind, spirit and body are inseparable and that if you could somehow find a way to boost the power of your spirit or your mind, you would effectively be boosting your immune system, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally! What greater immunizing power than the force of faith, the belief and trust in the invisible power of the supernatural, the power of God. Yes, the Word works!

The human body is an awesome phenomenon built by God, built to last. We've not even begun to tap its infinite potential. Not even Ebola can stop us.

For the skeptics and cynics, hear it from a medical/scientific professional! It wasn't some drug, it was faith!
