Once he settles ..I believe he shld cook , Lookman is a confident and intelligent player. Highly intelligent

Mujtahida:
Losers do win on appeal oo. New evidence will not be required but CAS will be required to look at FIFA's decision. That's how appeals work.

Okay we learn everyday

Mujtahida:
Whether positive or negative, the case will reach CAS.

Abeg make we win at fifa level..dts my hope ,cos na FIFA report / whoever country wins (evidence) vs d loser …go Dey infront of CAS? CAS would likely back up FIFA VERDICT. Besides Wc evidence loser wan present again 😊

TheSuperNerd:

BankyGee:

Congrats brother

ChrisKels:
Guys we have to fight tooth and nail for that world cup spot bikonu.

Papi85:
Sani to Leipzig
Moffi to Porto
Nnadi to Marseille
Mola to Atletico Madrid
Ogundu to Augsburg
Obah to Shakthar Doneskt
Salim to Viktoria Plzen

Good window so far for our players 😊😊😊😊😊

Who b dis obah ? Wc position does he play ?

Papi85:
So so so happy for Tochukwu Nnadi. Massive leap from Belgium to one of the biggest clubs in French football Olympic Marseille

I knew he is heading for the top after watching him play for our u20 side in the WYC few years ago. More to come my boy 😊😊😊😊😊

Ndidi and onyeka shld watch out

TheSuperNerd:
Simon has been reduced to a bench player now so Ejuke's chances of coming off the bench are very slim and with more competition that threatens even Simon, Ejuke might find himself further away from the Super Eagles. This is the depth I have always wanted.

Ejuke won’t be invited again in as much as chelle remains d coach ..it’s dt certain from chelles body language

This season’s transfers involving Nigerian players have been quite ironic. Players many expected to secure big moves have ended up at underwhelming clubs, while those who weren’t heavily hyped are making respectable moves that better match their level of play examples include Iheanacho to Celtic and Moffi to Porto.

charlesemeka85:
Our 2 biggest stars balling in Hausa league 🤦‍♀️

Who stone me?

Seriki needs his assistant over dere 😎

Truidstarr:
I love your faith....but ....it's not in our favor. Leave am focus on the next one.

Eehhh …you don hear d outcome 🥹🥹🥹

solonnachi:
Coach coach. 😃
But FIFA and even DR Congo FA have both been silent since NFF submitted the petition. Is that a good omen?

Well reactions doesn’t win case …FACTS AND EVIDENCE DOES 😎

Damioduso1:
They

They will beat Scotland joor even super eagles can do the job against Scotland .



Let assume we qualifier for the 2026 world cup through back door



Can we beat Colombia in that group I


We also Portugal and Uzbekistan in that group



That Colombia team has Diaz , Sanchez and Luis Suarez

Wc one is backdoor 🤨, ppu wey use ineligible players as alleged by nff na front door 🙄

Damioduso1:
Ifif

If fifa verdict go against nff . They will take the issue to cas and also if FIFA verdict go on favor of the nff . Dr congo will take the issue to Cas for ruling

Dt CAS na long thing…most outcome from FIFA is always backed by CAS …I feel we shld win d case from FIFAS VERDICT

solonnachi:
You guys are really optimistic about this World cup playoff

Abi na 😃,except FIFA doesn’t want to investigate deir constitution

ChrisKels:
Ife Ibrahim is a huge talent.

England has got an intelligent baller in that boy.

That guy is good …if I am chelle ,I will call him up for march wcq playoffs

Damioduso1:
I hear that from Dr Larry izemola brila fm CEO on the bff verdict against Dr Congo ineligible player he said that Dr Congo just need to tell FIFA that they grant those player with Dual citizenship an exception case close .




But it 50-50 I pray the nff win the case next month imagine the super eagles playing in Boston, New Jersey in USA Nigeria fans are much there

Na Yeye talk b dis

Damioduso1:
If DR Congo can write to FIFA that they give those players with Dual citizenship an exception . FIFA might rule the verdict in favor of Dr Congo but I pray the nff win the case

Dt won’t work ,except if d letter was submitted prior to when Dey played d match or even before Dey were cleared ,if not na medicine after death

Bankygee try Dey update score as haaland Dey score …haaland 1 osimhen 0 😎

AAA593:
Somebody should please educate me about DRC Congo 2007 moratorium on dual citizenship. Although moratorium is not greater than a country's constitution but can it be used to bypass dual citizenship?

Na deir Congo wan use win dis case 🥲🥲🥲‼️

Amedino99:
why is it not possible? FIFA is not a Non-profit that survives on handout and goodwill. They are a proper institution making billions of US$ yearly so i expected them to do what you said here.

While FIFA is tasked with ensuring that its member associations adhere to its regulations, the DR Congo seemingly attempted to bypass established procedures, either deliberately or unknowingly. FIFA initially relied on trust, but Nigeria’s petition exposed the oversight. I believe after d verdict,FIFA is now expected to tighten its monitoring framework, ensuring that all member countries comply with their national laws before any official switch are sanctioned.
