Tgif! it's obvious your re drunk or high on cheap drugs

I m aware of your proclivity towards foreign born players

Fire

Cc Charlesemeka, he's not worth reporting on?

Or he was unfortunate to be born in Nigeria by Nigerian parents?

darkelf:


Exactly bro

I made this point last month.

We are crying....crying for what?

We didn't put our house in order and our NFF ogas are in trial for corruption cases

We underperformed in the WC 2018 and put up a NEPA-like performance at the just concluded AFCON.

We are not in top 30 FIFA ranking and yet with all this things and so many others, we want to attract highly rated, English born and bred boys to the Super Eagles....haba, it can't work na. They've gone and gone for good.

The lesson learnt here is that we shouldn't try to pressure any FB Nigerian to play for us before the Super Eagles loose respect. Its a decision everyone of them has to make on their own. SO that at least, we will know the truly patriotic ones

Exactly, those blaming the NFF for not using suave, tactics, timing and all what not are wrong

A young academy kid at 8 already knows the country he wants to play for

Mujtahida:

The truth is that football has changed so much. In the past all you needed was talent. Now football is a science. We are still frozen in the past and beyond the structural and infrastrctural problems bedevilling the local league, is the issue of lack of the touch of the finesse of modern football.

I like the old football of Maradona, Baggio, Gullit, Carlos, Yekini just as some people here like our local players but once the time comes for a certain trend of change to take effect, our personal love or attachment to the old ways don't matter much. At last you either embrace change or like Okonkwo in Things fall Apart, you will be cast aside.

The future of our football is in the hands of the foreign born players of Nigerian descent. They are the ones whose talent will have been honed by the science of modern football and therefore better equipped to carry the burden of representing Nigeria on the global stage. Nigerian born players will simply not be able to cope.

What a way of gathering all local born players and dumping them into the trash

Our biggest potentials, Osimhen and Chukwueze are local born and trained if you must know

komekn:


He plays in very well covered league although quite lowly in the context of Europe and a lower level team in the Eredivisie.

If he is as good as you say he is he playing in the Eredivisie.

He claims to be 21 and you are comparing him that just turned 18 last month that's causing waves and playing in the EPL for a top team.

One word for you DELUSIONAL.

You have unanswered questions

Oh my God, Sowore did not get this kind of attention

komekn:


I know governors and Chief Judges who have dual nationality.

So after serving the country for many decades you think in your small mindedness that they have not IDENTIFIED with Nigeria.

Look at yourself in the mirror then look in the dictionary for the word BIGOTRY that's you.

Thank God you identified the keyword, since they have identified with and served Nigeria are they still qualified for an elective position in their second countries, since they are full citizens of two countries?

At the end of the day we give equal chances to those who have unequal opportunities

komekn:


I have never once in all my posts here mentioned Philip. Why not because he is not Nigerian but he has no identity with Nigeria.

I said that specifically about Ibe and Solanke.

Phillip Billing has a Nigerian parent, he is not different from Tammy

komekn:


This is the problem with your proposition.

I know a lot of Nigerian born current and ex SE players who all played in Europe all of them had dual citizenship.

Some of them were pillars in the SE. So you are saying that all those players are NOT LOYAL

That was a hard deviate from my question, Is Tammy Abraham disloyal for choosing England over Nigeria since he is 'fully Nigerian'?

komekn:


I know many Nigerian that as soon as they land Gatwick airport. They completely deny all things Nigerian. They put on a fake accent and spend night and day bashing Nigeria. They were born in Nigeria and were brought up in Nigeria but hate all things Nigerian.

Unfortunately, l have seen this more in women than men. All the cultural norms and values that they revered and upheld over decades are dashed in minutes. They have become more oyibo than the Oyibos. Within months of arrival marriages of a decade is on the rocks.

Then l meet Nigerian origin children here who speak Yoruba Or Igbo fluently and have not been to Nigeria yet. And uphold our values and norms.

The question is what does it mean to be Nigerian or how do you define the Nigerian.

Blah blah blah, you are talking about pretense and people's lifestyle

We are talking legality and identity, a person with one passport can pretend all he cares that doesn't change the fact that he is is totally Nigerian

A foreign born can speak as much local language but at the end of the day he is a citizen of different countries and will choose with which to identify

Is it your seeing?

I'm doing better

A full Nigerian, Sadiq Umar is named in the Europa league team of the week jare

You guys crave attention. We are having fun indulging you guys.
It's been a while since IPOB has had any attention. We have not heard from you guys since the Ekwerenmadu German debacle and Arrest Buhari Japan fiasco. You just got about 20 igbo women together and viola "rivers women are protesting for Biafra".

[/s]

Biafra gives this one headache

Whish one consign me. As long as una no carry una madness reach Warri.

He will meet the conditions of the bail no doubt. We won’t let our dear brother rot in jail . How much is 100 million to some people ?

Do you have it?

wirinet:
I can count about 18 IPOB women. Small time IPOB will come out with a caption "massive protest in Rivers State in support of IPOB".

E pain u abi

tbaba1234:


That does not make them less Nigerian.

Even within Nigeria, we all have different choices.

If they decide to switch allegiance to Nigeria it makes them more Nigerian and less (the other country)

That's why you can't play for two countries for God's sake

tbaba1234:


So if my children decide to play for Nigeria, you will tell them, they are not 'fully Nigerian". Is that a joke??

Some people don't have that choice

They are fully Nigerian

Tammy Abraham seems to disagree with you that he is fully Nigerian

Cc Komekn

This is Phillip Billing's Wikipedia page, there was no single word 'Nigeria' written on it

But according to Komekn 'He is fully Nigerian'

komekn:


That is a nonsensical proposition with no substance whatsoever.

Do you know how many sitting governors, members of Senate, Representatives and other elected officials have dual citizenship. Add to that High Court judges and Chief judges, Ministers, Commissioners, etc.

Look at Nigeria and look at the % of middle class parents that have had thier children in the USA. I wonder WHY❓

Do you know what percentage of Nigerian players past and present that have dual citizenship. It actually is in the larger majority.

The question then becomes what makes you a loyal citizen. Having one Nigerian passport alone according to you

Having one passport determines that your loyalty lies with only one country

Can you accuse Tammy Abraham of not being loyal to Nigeria? Can you?

gustav25:


This one can't live with the rejection, now he is bringing up more Nigerian than Nigeria ...Shameless

A half Nigerian rejected Nigeria, no news

charlesemeka85:
That's the power of imperialism and you can't do anything to change it. Nevertheless that doesn't stop African nations from tapping from the goods of our illustrious sons and daughters born abroad who identify with us just because we feel they re less African.

What we get is crumbs, we have the capability to produce more

As far as we keep getting crumbs we won't be able to look inwards and develop our own, this is akin to slavery

It is the bitter truth, Tammy Abraham is not as Nigerian as Chukwueze

He can even decide not to be Nigerian, or when to be Nigerian

tbaba1234:


The lure of England might be too much to resist. Eze can contribute to the super eagles right now.

I think Tammy Abraham has contributed to Nigerian football than Ebere Eze, Tammy Abraham has opened our eyes to the fact, while Ebere Eze(may) come and paper over the cracks

tbaba1234:


In an interview after his first call up to the under 20s. He talked about his desire to play for Nigeria at senior level. That interview was taken down by QPR tv.

Ofcourse things change but he has always been interested in playing for Nigeria. We are the ones not looking his way.

Why are you then scared that he would change once he got to the EPL

Is it because that would be when he has THE CHANCE to choose?

charlesemeka85:
Some of us here are worst than racist. So because someone is born abroad makes him lesser Nigerian?

Here we are agitating and refusing the idea of infusing some of our sons born abroad who re willing to play for us with the excuse that they aren't dedicated and also blocks the inclusion of locally groomed players.

Imagine the current super eagles without the likes of Iwobi Aina, Ekong, balogun, the same ekong and balogun oliseh and siasia said aren't good and strong enough for African football later went on to form a defensive combo that have seen us through the past 3 years.

We really need to reason like pple who are open to new ideas and development instead of allowing sentiment and emotions becloud our sense of reasoning.

Tufiakwa! Some of us are worst than vipers

Yes, somebody with dual citizenship is definitely less Nigerian than somebody whose loyalty lies only to Nigeria

Ekong, Balogun, Aina are really crumbs that have fallen to us from European nations, but have distracted us from the main issue, OUR FOOTBALL STRUCTURE IS IN DISARRAY

You may comfort yourself with the crumbs that have fallen to you from the European table, that does not hide the fact that we are beggars in the midst of plenty

I can guarantee y'all that Ebere Eze sees Nigeria as second choice and if he has any solid plans for his career he is targeting an English call up

NFF tactics and suaveness will not convince a player to play in a defunct football structure
