SlayerForever:
Bordeaux and Everton are on the same level. How can you compare Bordeaux with Burnley? Haha I feel like laughing: That's a joke but it's not funny.

No they are not. As of 2018, Everton is far ahead of Bordeaux. They can buy their best player without blinking an eye.

krattoss:
sigurdson is the only name am seeing there, and if kalu should come to everton, he {sigurdson} will switch to his attacking midfield role.

The rest are just there.. They I'll even learn football from samuel kalu.

This is a big joke. If Bordeaux could afford Bernard and Lookman's wages and salaries, they'd go for him before they even look Kalu's way.
Lepzig couldn't even get Lookman for 25m.

MetalJigsaw:
Then you don't know shiit about Samuel Kalu. Bordeaux and Everton are both at par. Even the French team has appeared in more Eurapa competitions than Everton so what are you spewing?

I've watched Samuel Kalu. If you think as of 2018 that Everton and Bordeaux are on the same level, then I don't know what to say.
Bordeaux is on Burnley's level. This isn't a history lesson.
Samuel Kalu has potential but he will be lucky to make Everton's bench.

krattoss:
name an everton attacker that is beeter than kalu currently.

Bernard, Lookman, Sirgudsson(if he plays on the wings)

MetalJigsaw:
Kalu would make Everton first 11.

Bullshit. he's not benching Richarlison or even Bernard

Blue3k:
What do you call a woman that has your child that isn't wife or girlfriend. I think babies mother is fitting. Do you prefer lover, mistress, or concubine. Tell everyone the correct term.

Ex. An ex he had a kid with. I hate the term baby mama

Dumb Nigerians still don't want to stop using this term "baby mama"?? All you morons know how to do is copy the bad aspects of foreign cultures

tbaba1234:
Let me add something to this corruption talk.

Nigeria is not irredeemably corrupt. This is inspite of endemic corruption, you see around you.

When i first got to the US. [/b]What struck was not a lack of corruption but the systems and controls in place to check it.[b] These systems once established begin to shape behavior with time. I remember telling people that America is potentially as corrupt as Nigeria if you remove the consequences.

We are too focused on catching criminals and less focused on making it incredibly hard to steal in the first place. If you arrest a corrupt person today, another corrupt person will simply replace him if there are no proper systems.

What does this mean? It means government should be focused on proper reforms on how agencies operate. And this is achievable. I have worked in consulting and provided financial control recommendations to major companies.

I remember speaking to Nigerian Senator a few years ago and he bluntly told me that the only hope for Nigeria is the future generation because his generation are so messed up.

We can not go into service with the mentality of stealing.. We need more people willing to serve and do the right thing.

100 percent facts at the bolded. Corruption at Wall Street, etc is probably just as bad - the thing is closing all the avenues and any loopholes for them to take advantage of.
Just watch American Greed and you'll see they stack up to us when it comes to "corruption".

Owngoalnigeria.com witnessed the game live at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium and our correspondent reveals the five things he noticed about the Super Eagles in the course of the win over the Mediterranean Knights.

1. Jamilu Collins Should Be Eagles First Choice Left Back- He is what Nigerians have been crying out for. A quick left full back who can defend, attack and also contribute to team balance. Barring a criminal loss of form, the Paderborn left full back has no doubt cemented his spot as first choice at left back for the Super Eagles.

2. Alex Iwobi Is A Classic Number 10 – Playing alongside creative players like Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan among others has helped his decision making particularly this season under Unai Emery. He operated as a classic number ten as he was not just assured in possession, he picked his passes at the right time and also executed them with minimum fuss.

3. Ekong Is Most Improved Player Under Rohr- If there’s an award for the most improved Super Eagles player then Ekong should win it. His growth is phenomenal both at club level and at international level where he is now one of the captains of the team. Yesterday’s game showed how well he has matured from 2013 when he first played for Nigeria.

4. Samuel Kalu ‎Is A Mix Bag Of Pleasure & Pain – Never has a player integrated so fast into the team like Kalu has in such a short time but his decision making is stil a big worry. The Bordeaux forward is usually caught in between shooting or passing and more often than not he took the wrong decision during yesterday’s game. He still has it in him to come good.

5. Uzoho Is Nigeria’s Best For Now – Francis Uzoho wasn’t quite troubled yesterday by the Libyans but his save in the first half played a big role in the 4 -0 win because if the first half header which he saved ‎had gone in Libya would have draw level. The decision to make him the first choice goalkeeper of the Super Eagles appears to be settled for now.

In regards to number 2, Iwobi can also play outwide as an inverted playmaker. Let's not act like he hasn't had success playing well.
When he plays that position at Arsenal you see him drifting and swapping positions with the likes of Ozil and Mkhitaryan. With SE, he doesn't have that luxury especially when we play Mikel as 10.

Curtisaxel7:
I feel for Moses Simon though, Rohr now has a permanent crush on Kalu and now Onyekuru and Musa are back in serious contention....I pity the young man, his club inactivity is not helping matters too.

Moses Simon will be back in the first 11 sooner or later.

Earthquake1:
The Etebo we saw yesterday was no different from the Etebo we saw in the world cup

He keeps the ball for too long and goes into stupid sliding tackles when the ball is nicked off him

The Libyans penetrated through our midfield in the first half because he was not ready to be a defensive cover as Ndidi

Etebo major quality is his a great ball carrier and has insane stamina. I also don't think it's a good idea to play him and Ndidi as pivot.
He's someone who works better in front of a Regista.

safarigirl:
House, please, away from Ighalo, Atiku and Buhari.


You guys should congratulate me. I finally wrote my last paper today and I am officially a graduate of the Faculty Of Law, University of Abuja. Nairaland no see my own to post, na KOK dem just dey celebrate. Me sef graduate today o


Ehen, Oga Mujtahida, I need assistance with my Project work. I'm stuck and in need of proper direction. Don't know if you can help

Congratulations Madam

safarigirl:
we advocated for Not Too Young To Run so that criminals like Shina Pellet can buy form and contest for HoR


You don forget say na with small thing dem dey take know who fit handle big thing. If Oby cannot take criticisms from small Twitter, how will she take criticisms as a President? If Moghalu can lie about helping people he never raised a finger for and can renege on a contract he entered into just because it didn't favour him, what ar the chances he won't bail on us when things aren't going his way?


A man's integrity is known from when he is young. These are not people of integrity. Don't forget, Oby served as Minister of Education under the same OBJ/Atiku administration, she was part of the rot too and our educational system wasn't exactly top notch even back then.


An accusation is not an indictment. And if Atiku laundered money, at least he used it to open a school and businesses in Nigeria. He is paying salaries, he is an employer of labour.


Moghalu will not even win election in his own ward, do you know why? Because they don't know him. As far as Nigerians are concerned, two people are running for President- Buhari and Atiku, the rest are testing their popularity and maybe hoping to be included in the administration of which ever of Buhari and Atiku win.


[/b] APC= Republicans

PDP= Democrats [b]

YDP, ANN, KOWA and the other 85+ parties= Independent Candidates

It's the other way around...APC = Democrats and PDP = republicans.
I'm talking in terms of policy ooo...

Joebie:
Who still missed Mikel?

I did. At least from a deeper role sha.

Great save from Uzoho first half

forgiveness:
I mean he no play anything for that role.

Ighalo still better pass from what I saw today.

He was drifting wide from the little I saw. Let's see him play a full game

forgiveness:
I no see Isaac Success oooo.

No be him dey wear 13?

Onyekuru did well...knew the angle was tight. Smart play from him

Kalu!!!!

Eseose9:
He scored all the goals

Wooow!!! How was his performance in general??

See as sleep make me miss this game.

3-0!!! Ighalo is subbed off for Success. Looks like he scored too.
Who scored the other two?? Please help

komekn:
One major problem, he is too slow, easily over run in midfield.

Then again considering our very limited options in camp, he may actually start.

I think Rohr will start Etebo instead. His passing isn't great but at least he is a good ball carrier.

Joebie:
Haha

But seriously, why can’t we have a third powerful ticket. I’m mulling over a Sanusi/Duke ticket. It’s only a fantasy though.

Sanusi/Adesina or Iweala is my dream ticket. Sanusi is my favorite northern public figure. Shame he never ran for Presidency even once.

Mafialeader:
the injury to Onazi now moves Shehu to the midfield since only ogu and Etebo are the only other midfielders left.
Rohr still has options in RB/ LB as idowu, Aina can play right back and then Collins also available in the left back role.
Iwobi will play number 10

Won't be bad to start Ogu. His passing is slightly better than the rest...let him play as a regista while Ndidi goes around breaking up play.

komekn:
Iwobi was a youth academy player who had not played one competitive game for Arsenal before he was called to the SE.

Do you know how players play with the first team in an EPL Academy, it's mildly indicate of progress it's not an absolute. I know players who even went on trial for the U23 trained with the first team. But in the end did not get a contract offer.

Like @forgiveness just confirmed - he got invited, cap and sent back to the U23 because Siasia needed him.
After that, how many first team games did he play before his next invite?? Would you STILL call him an U19 player??
Remember we've agreed the only reason he got initially invited was so he could play for the U23.

Joebie:
OKOCHA!!!

I forgot he and Oliseh were best friends back in their playing days

forgiveness:
Yes, I know but was it right after he played for Nigeria in September.

Preseason can't be counted as a competitive match. No country invites players based on preseason performance. None

So why do you think Oliseh invited him?? Remember he was initially invited for the U23 but Wenger refused. Oliseh capped him and set him back to train with Siasia.

forgiveness:
Alex Iwobi was plucked straight from the arsenal U19 academy straight to the national team and was sent back to the same academy after he played for the SE. Fact


The snapshot proved he was plucked from the Arsenal U19 academy to the national team and still played in the same team after the match. It is clear. On the 29 -09 2015, he played for Arsenal U19 academy and that game was against olympiacos. It was right after that match he was called to play his first match against Dr Congo and Cameroon.

There's nothing wrong in capping a talented FB.

Iwobi made his debut against Sheffield United. Before that he played in Preseason against Lyon and scored.

TheSuperNerd:
Before that DRC game, Wenger had already shown signs of his plans to involve Iwobi in the first team naa. Is that one hard to grab? See ehn... Oga Chrisooblog don narrate am for you finish. Refer to his comment... I wan save time. Lol

I tire for this. I've been saying the same thing time and time again. Wenger refused to let him go on loan. He scored at pre season.

komekn:
Sorry to burst your bubble that's an opinion not a fact.

What bearing does that have on the discourse which is centred on double standard in selection for the SE.

What is a fact? That Iwobi was already training with Arsenal's first team before he got invited?? Iwobi was not an academy player when he got called up by Oliseh.

Joebie:
The competition is not stiff in this SE. that’s my main criticism of Rohr. Make these players feel like there is always that player about to snatch their shirt.

Exactly!! But Rohr can never ever be wrong...

komekn:
Iwobi was not even considered as a major prospect in the England youth set up at at 16 there was talk of dropping himat Arsenal. He was called to the SE when he had not played one game for Arsenal first team, no doubt his Uncle JJay had some influence.

Josh Maja at 17 when Sunderland were in the EPL had already played for the first team. At 18 he had played 17 games in the championship now at 19 he has played 12 games and scored 9 goals that is a phenomenal strike rate for a teenager.

Isaac success in now his third season in the EPL and in his third season scored one goal that is what some cal progress here. KC in his second season in the EPL scored in total 4 goals for Leicester.

Some have said that if KC was in league one he would be scoring for fun, football doesn't work like that. I will ask how many games did KC after his move to Leicester play for the U23 and how many goals did he score So i cant be the top goal scorer in the youth league you think he will automatically be top goal scorer in league one. i very much doubt it.

League one is not as easy as some think ask the EPL clubs beaten by league one clubs I watched Tottenham struggle against Shrewsbury town.

In my opnion Josh Maja is the most in form potent srtriker availbale to the SE right now, however , if that will transfer to international football is another question. But we will never know until he is given opportunity and if we keep wasting time Southgate will not and he will be in Englands u21 while we wait for our so called SPECIAL TALENTS who have done nothing and are still doing nothing.

We have a bright star who is boiling hot and some are debating if he is good enough.

I am tired of debunking this Iwobi yans. Again, look at the screenshot I posted before.
