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.

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 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

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

ChrisKels:

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.

BankyGee:
Breaking down Osimhen's 50 goals at Galatasaray with Sofascore.

Where d 50goals Dey against DR CONGO 🤨😏😏

AAA593:
Anyone claiming that the NFF used ChatGPT and Wikipedia to prepare the petition against DR Congo should not be taken SERIOUSLY.

You were not present when the petition was drafted or submitted to FIFA for consideration. You’re simply drawing your own conclusions and using online articles to support your argument.

Let him continue defending DR Congo if he wants. As far as I’m concerned, this case could go either way.

DR Congo is not taking this matter lightly; they are also worried about Nigeria’s petition.

All we can do is stay positive about the case. So let’s ignore that MAN and keep faith in the petition.

This case is not a 50/50 situation. It’s either DR CONGO is guilty or not,this isn’t a football match. There’s no excuse and no ignorance in the law. Once you’re guilty, punishment follows.
Judging by how aggressively that guy is defending DR Congo, despite the obvious signs, it’s clear the case is going in our favour. We should be expecting the provisional World Cup playoff list by the end of February.

Karlovych:
If you had read the entire message you wouldn't have jumped the 10.2.

The players in question were eligible to obtain Congolese nationality of which their government granted them that as opposed to holding them from birth.

The primary requirement for FIFA regarding that is nationality is a passport of that nation. If that is the case from FIFA's end they have to then verify if they met the parental, birth or residency link according to their guidelines in my last point.

I can now see why IELTS and TOEFL are required for Nigerians trying to study abroad, smh.

OLODO NI BOBO YI 😃😃😃

Karlovych:
This is from FIFA's handbook

Oga dt 10.2.2 don answer all questions na …na u Dey give us answer sef

Goke7:
In fact Amaju finish work for that Amunike matter. It’s a big shame that the likes of oliseh and other ex players see the national team as their retirement package, see him begging for Amunike, it’s like coaching the national team has become turn by turn limited for them.

More reason none of them
Shld be considered again

lexyman:
coach your own come be like over confidence ... abi " over-faith "

I gaz coach super eagles for World Cup na 😎

TheSuperNerd:

lexyman:
i like your faith

No be by faith but common sense ….i hope FIFA TOO use dier COMMON SENSE cos it’s not common

SymphonyRad:
So NFF can't find a top European or South American world cup bound team willing to play us in this international friendly window? at least we are 3rd in CAF ranking and 26 in world rankings coming off an impressive AFCON with an exciting coach...surely a decent Euro team should find us worthy opponents to use to size up the African teams in their world cup groups?

Na wa o...

U want dem to make d same mistake Dey did in November? Fixing friendlies we couldn’t play…deir mind is set on d judgement Wc might Favor us ..we re playing d Wc play offs 😎

Mujtahida:
Okay. Congo don win

😃😃😃😃, na wetin d guy wan hear b dt…atleast him go happy now 😊

chrisooblog:
I've heard all the arguments but what is still making me skeptical of the chances of the petition succeeding is whether FIFA concerns itself with national laws.

Plus these same players featured in the recent AFCON highlighting the confidence of the Congolese FA that the players were duly cleared.

Believe me I'll be the happiest Nigerian if the petition is ruled in our favour but one has to be realistic.

U re not guilty until u re proven guilty- Dlaw et al 2006 ,dt answers d ur number 2 question concerning dem featuring at the afcon


U c dt number 1 question ,I am sure is what is giving FIFA HEADACHE,like I said in my previous post any judgement dt Favor’s DR CONGO Will be exploited by other countries in d future,making reference to the judgement

AAA593:
I don't know if you're trying to create your own happiness while looking down on Nigeria's petition before fifa.

See countries that strictly prohibit dual citizenship do not and will not issue a passport to someone holding another nationality unless that person first formally renounces their foreign citizenship including Congo . These countries enforce single citizenship to ensure sole allegiance.

I thought I would see congo constitution from you on dual citizenship. Children born abroad to Congolese parents can retain dual citizenship until their 21st birth which they have 12 months to renounce foreign citizenship.


The legal position is clear on this, Congo constitution does not allow dual citizenship for adults. Citizenship is technically lost if a person acquires another nationality.

Go to DRC Congo during elections and you will know that they don't joke with dual citizenship. I can't remember the particular court case before their last presidential election. No special treatment.

Allow FIFA deicide na.

Nff lawyers both home and abroad won’t be silly not to spot any error from dr Congo and go ahead to file a complaint against dem ..they must have a concrete evidence to do dt . Let’s wait for fifa verdict.

Goke7:
una no reach

Dlaw serve him please

Mujtahida:
My bro. I still think that if fifa rules in our favor, we'd have to play the continental playoff with Cameroon.

Hope dey sha. Carry on with your project Mbappe oo. God dey your side

Nope we re not playing Cameroon 🇨🇲 cos Dey didn’t file in any protest ,besides I heard dem sef get skeleton for deir cupboard (mbeumo ) na French guy and Dey also operate non dual citizenship,so if dem wan show head, we go just file in another petition against dem 😃

TheSuperNerd:
This man ehn. See if we make it to USCAMEX on the back of winning this DRC case... then Elyte89 must be added to the SE crew. #Elyte4USA26

If we can pull dis thru …I might replace chelle cos me and my lawyer are really working behind d scenes to ensure we qualify for the World Cup …so our compensation shld be the plum job

Mujtahida:
Residence permit is permit. It does not mean I must reside in your country for five years at a stretch. Such laws can easily be satisfied. Countries plan to win world cup ten years before they win it.

France did it through the establishment of INF Clairefontaine in 1988 and won the world cup in 1998. Germany set off their own plan in 2006 and won the WC in 2014.

Therefore such rich countries like Qatar can set out such a plan that involves integrating players from other countries into their national team not necessarily to even win the WC but even to compete very well.

All those five years residence stuff na him
Simple pass for Nigeria 🇳🇬…all na to back date d process with solid documentation 😃😃😃,with 5k person fit run am sef …


Ppu don’t understand dt if dis case doesn’t have any merit …d petition won’t last a week b4 it will be jettisoned …but for FIFA to take deir time, do we think Dey re joking …Dey re definitely investigating and dis Nigeria 🇳🇬/ dr congo case is an eye opener for FIFA ,any mistake or loophole deir decision making will create ,especially if it Favor’s Congo will be used as reference in d future for countries dt will exploit it

SymphonyRad:
FIFA need to hurry up and kick out DR Congo abeg, our boys are too hot in form not to make this world cup especially under Chelle, even if we qualify by backdoor runs I don't care anymore, you can't shame the shameless

Go and look at ur dictionary and look out for the meaning of “backdoor”

Goke7:
Our players are really in form, my God. It's strange, and unfortunately, no close tournament in sight!

2026 World Cup …Mr man 🤨🤨🤨
