Great initiative. Looking forward to more of this.

Super Eagles 28-man squad for AFCON 2025.

Personally, 24-25 is ok really.
William Troost Ekong lost his place and retired.
Ola Aina and Benjamin Fredricks, injured.
Tolu Arokodare and Christantus Uche, more work to do.
Maduka Okoye didn't want to warm bench. Understandable.
Alhassan Yusuf, good riddance.
Francis Uzoho, Cyril Dessers, Paul Onuachu make a comeback.
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Ryan Alebiosu, Muhammed Usman, Tochukwu Nnadi, Salim Fargo. New faces.

🇳🇬 Good luck to the team as always!

P/S: Eric Chelle most likely submitted 25 names. Muhammed Usman, Tochukwu Nnadi, Salim Fargo are definitely NFF additions. With Muhammed Usman at 31 obviously a Federal Character pick.

See below as posted in CyberEagles thread on Site perfromance matters. Will update you when I get a response:

This is the reply I got yesterday evening from the Site Admin from CyberEagles:

Hello XX,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
As far as I know, we don't have any embargo on new registration.
The new potential registered member might have an IP-related issue.
Please have her try using different devices and possibly try from another IP address so that we can eliminate the possibility that the issue is user-related.
Please, keep me updated via PM so I might further attend to it.

Thanks.

ekehopp2:
Alright, no problem I will open a thread there to ask the Admins/Moderators.
You will see it. You can Send me an email message with your username/email so I can ask them to check.

Greetings everyone, as a user here for XX years (since Tue Feb 08, 20XX 12:20 am) I appreciate everyone and I love the site.

I understand we had problems months back with storage and security (spam, LLM bots etc), and I guess hence the new cloudfare security challenge: "forum.cybereagles.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds" procedures.

Someone on Nairaland made a complaint to me of her inability to register and that she can no longer view threads as a guest. Reviewing CyberEagles forum landing Page i see the newest member on CyberEagles is "katanda", who registered as far back as "Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:25 am".

So I'm guessing new registartions are currently on hold?

Cellular, Mods/Admins kindly educate me please? Any chance we can reopen registration at least? Do we need to crowdfund to support site maintenance to combat all issues?

Mujtahida:
The thing is that previously one could visit the site without registering as a member just like nairaland. Is that option closed?

Yes I think so.

QueenJazz:
Oh wow. That's cool

Well, I always pass the verification stage. The issue I have is with the registration. I've been reading as a guest for a long time, so I'm not an official member yet. And recently I think they've blocked off their threads to people who aren't registered members.

The issue is I've tried registering but it just keeps loading with no end in sight.

Abeg if you can help us reach mods it will be nice. I enjoyed reading insights from the likes of danfo driver and co.

QueenJazz:
Are you a member of Cybereagles? How come the admins are blocking guests from reading or even registering?

Yes, proudly!
The site is over 20 years old. They had storage and security issues.
So now you need to verify before you can log in.
So no blocking, just verification.

Savagethe21st:
Hello friends, a I am a software engineer working in a fintech company in Nigeria. From the state of things I have resolved to leave Nigeria but getting a tech job visa sponsorship seems to be a herculean task due to individual country immigration laws and intense competition from other software engineers from various underdeveloped countries. Now I came across the German work Visa but I have several questions which I need clarity on. In short I need guidance from people who have undergone the process.

Question 1: I heard you need a minimum of 5 working years of experience. Can freelancing in tech also count?
Question 2: I heard you need proof of fund in a blocked account. How is that done and how easily can I retrieve my money if the process doesn't go through.
Question 3: how long does getting an appointment take(I heard to get a student visa appointment takes 14 months
Question 4: How easy is it to get a job in Germany within the six months. Can I also apply to jobs vacancies written in German while I indicate I am currently learning GERMAN.

Please contribute or tell some one who can to help

I see you eventually made it to Germany ...Congrats!

Lindner:
I have not met one Software Engineer who does not plan to Japa. Don't get me wrong, there are some who may be completely okay with living in Nigeria for some reasons, chief of which could be their spending power due to currency exchange rate.

If you work remotely for a foreign company, you might be closer to achieving your goal than you thought.

Myself, a Software Engineer, living abroad and working for yet another foreign org., my dream is wandering all over the globe( barring ongoing COVID madness). I call myself a global wanderer.

Your chances before now:

Before now, the most common means to japa was through sponsorship by a potential foreign employer. However, you have to be a whiz in your tech stack with tonnes of experience. As per requirements, most countries require potential employer to prove that they are unable to source talent locally before "importing" talent (you). The odds against us in respect to this is huge. Why should any company go through that stress except you're really special. Few people I know "Japa-ed" through this means. Other disadvantage of this is that you're somewhat restricted to that country. For people who are "waka-abouts" like myself, this is not acceptable.

Your chances today:

One of the good things that came with this COVID outbreak is the popularisation of remote work. With this popularisation came Digital Nomad Visa. This visa category started getting known in 2020 and blew up in 2021. 2022 is going to be mad...

Estonia, Germany, Georgia, UAE, Portugal, Iceland and many more European and third world countries alike have implemented this visa class or a variant of it. Feelers are that more countries will follow suite.

It makes sense for these countries because they can stimulate economic growth by bringing in independent workforce that'll not compete with indigenes for local jobs.

The requirements

The requirements are almost the same across the board except for few variations here and there.

1. Proof that you're employed or self-employed by an organisation outside your proposed country of residence.
2. Proof of a minimum monthly income typically an average of $2000 per month. Some others like Portugal require as low as less than €700 per month.
3. Other sundry requirements for immigration like police background check, health insurance e.t c

The residence permit you'll get ranges in duration from 1 year to 5 years and are mostly renewable.

So if you're skilled, currently working remotely, and you hope to japa, don't sleep on this one. Do your research, plan and do the needful. On the other hand, if you love moving around, 3 months, 4 months or longer here and there, all the while working and earning $$$, THIS IS IT. Let's do it!!!

For people like us who can't stay in one place, we've found a way to run around the globe. My goal is to have lived in 6 countries by 2025.

Beautiful! Gracias

Unlike many others who had it easy or who had just got into a short time bootcamp before hitting the industry, my journey to tech wasn’t a smooth one as I had to go thru each and every steps without a doubles.
In this video, I have talked about my entire journey to tech from the streets of Lagos all the way to the corporate America. Let me know your thoughts, what you think I could have done better, what would you have done better? Or maybe I’m the only one on this path of mine ��‍♂️

Lalasticlala seun justwise mynd44 please help push this educative post. I want as much people as possible to learn from my story and I’ll really appreciate that
Thank you

It's a pity you made the video private. But i see you're still actively Teching. Well done!

Good day family, I greet oh.

I’m sorry but that first picture looks like a man!

Recent disgraceful African nations trick after Zambia.
CAF needs to change testing so it rules out intersexed players

BascoVanVeli:
Alright now. Flamingos looking good to start.

16 minutes Italy 0 - Nigeria 0

Morocco host nation already down 2 nil against North Korea

Stadium is now filled to capacity, I think… #Benin 🇧🇯 are teaching the
@NGSuper_Falcons
a valuable lesson - never relax in a match, even against an inferior opponent. That’s why Benin drew level, despite Nigeria controlling the game. 1-1, in the 74th minute (3-1 to Nigeria on aggregate).

CornOak:
Oshoala subbed.

This babe wan turn Ahmed Musa. Doesn't know when to lave the Falcons for younger players.

johnie:
Went to look at this photograph again.

Only three players in the starting line up against Benin did not go through the ranks - Alozie, Okoronkwo and Plumptre.

That points to something positive about our youth football system.

Meanwhile, we know how much value those three who didnt go through the youth system add to the team.

I believe only Assisat and Ohale are left from their set.

We have capable alternatives for Assisat.

We should get some for Ohale.

She has done very well for Nigeria!

Yeah I observed that in the Falcons. it's hard to break into if you didn't already go through U17 and U20. In fact I dare say 80% of Nigerian female players abroad have been capped at age grade level.

But for the male team (Super Eagles) whatever your path to a top team was, as soon as you start making waves you'll get a call up.

Predator87:
Is Nguemo of Cameroonian ancestry?? Never heard a Nigerian bear that name. Good player tho. The new Goalkeeper looks good too. Why coach Bankole benched them vs Canada befuddles me. I hope they improve in the next match.

Nguemo Termulun.
Termulun is a Tiv, Benue State name. But yes Nguemo could be of Camerounian origin. Mixed parentage I guess.

PDPGuy:
Zambia has to score 2 more goals to be ahead of Nigeria

It doesn't matter at all. Both teams will qualify from their groups.

Zambia vs New Zealand by 8pm. Any team that wins will make it through as one of best 3rd placed teams.
A 1 goal difference good enough for Zambia. New Zealand needs at least 2 goal difference.

Good luck to Africa!

BascoVanVeli:
At this point, even a 1-0 win could see us in the next round.

Yeah just saw that. Very ironical, but keeping with recent tradition of always making it out of the group stage.

We don't deserve it this time sha.

QueenJazz:
Please what time is their match?

Falcon players with dual nationality. Okoronkwo, the current best is missing from this shot.
