U said "from our respective points given, its a proof that we really wanted the progress". That talks about agreement.

So how u now reconcile that with this: "But guy u no dey gree oo"

na wa for you o, you're taking it serious as if it adds money to your pocket. I never told you that i agreed with your point, cos m still standing my ground. Lets forget about it. Please no mentions.

Enough talk about this unawarded penalty, why is each time we lose a very important match as this, Nigerians will be crying that we were robbed. The Argentines were better and deservedly won the match. In this part of the world, i believe we watch EPL matches almost every wkend. My question Now is, is it all ball that touches the hand of a footballer in his box 18 a penalty? He even awarded us a penalty that wasn't clear. Nigerians for once lets face reality and stop deceiving our own selves.

if rohr was responsible 4 taking Nigeria 2d world cup, then y is he not responsible 4d team's failure at d WC? If d boys are d reason 4d teams failure, they should also b credited with qualifying Nigeria 2d WC and not d coach.

Earlier, I categorized what u refer to as "age long problems facing our national team" into NFF job functions & d coaches job functions. I later asked u, as far as this WC is concerned did d NFF fail in its responsibilities? Did it repeat d errors u listed as age long problems? I didn't get a response from u.

So yes its Nigerians like me that will criticize a coach when his team doesn't do well but its also Nigerians like me that will praise d coach when his team does well. Reason is that d success and failure of d team is d responsibility of f coach. In this case, d coach didn't do well

From our respective points given, its a proof that we really wanted the progress & success of the SUPER EAGLES of Nigeria. We hope they do better next time. But guy u no dey gree oo.

Let me divide what u have said into two, job of NFF & job of d coach:

D job of NFF
1. Start early preparation
2. Regular friendlies
3. Non interference in player selection
Let me add:
4. Prompt payment of allowances

As far as this world cup is concerned, which of d above functions did NFF not do?


D job of d coach
1. Instilling discipline in camp
2. Setting up system 4 monitoring performance of players at home/abroad(4d purpose of selection)

So in d end, u have made it easier to lay d blame on d coach

1. Before the world cup Gernot Rohr went abroad to monitor our players, that was why he discovered the new goal keeper.
2. He even discovered Akpeyi & Ikechukwu.
3. Within a very short time he was up to an extent restored some level of discipline in the team.
4. In less than a year after his appointment he was able to meet his contractual target, by qualifying for the world at the expense of the reigning African champ.

I just enumerated nigeria's age long problems faced in the national team. So its Nigerians like you that always call for the head of coaches each time they our boys under performs. And you never see anything good in Rohr's qualifying to the mundial. So please don't miquote me.

for your info i never blamed the coach, the coach did his best in monitoring players home & abroad. It was what led to the discovery of our goalkeepers both home and abroad an he tried within a very short time. Our players equally have a part to play, they should be patriotic and always give their best to the nation. Cos it seems they're more determined when playing for their clubs.

lexy2014:
by blaming d players, what are u doing? Its u who is complaining about d players d coach carried not me. What is d root cause of d problem?

We should start early preparation, stop incessant sacking of coaches, instilling discipline in camps, setting up systems for proper monitoring of our players performance abroad, regular friendlies, non interference of external influence in players selection. I believe if we can do these, beyond the sky will be our limits. Thank you boss

lexy2014:
who selected d players that are on d bench?

It has become a tradition to always witch hunt after every failure, rather than dealing with the root cause, we fire and blame coaches. If you know other better player than these please, name them.

lexy2014:
u said our boys weren't good enough. Who selected them and brought them in2 d team? Iran that played Portugal 1-1 and almost embarrassed Spain, who is d special player they have? If a player doesn't play 2 instruction, what did d coach do about it?

The world cup is a different ball game entirely. What i mean is that they are our best, but our best is not good enough @ the world stage. The coach can only work with what we have. He met his target by qualifying Nigeria to the world cup, so lets give him time to build a better team.

My bro, me & you know that we don't have a bench. The bench is filled with calamities( Onazi & Co).

lexy2014:
u are talking about selection. Who is responsible 4 selection, is it d coach or d players? D friendlies gave us a taste of what we saw yday. Who deployed d boys 4 friendlies? Is it Mikel or iheanacho?

can't you should read between the line, all i meant is that our boys were not good enough. Personally i exempted the coach from all blames, cos most times our boys don't play to instruction, cos of selfishness. And for your info, a coach can only make use the player @ his disposal. Even if Saudi Arabia goes to the world cup with the best coach in the world the can't win the world cup. Shikenah

Yaw yaw, i laugh in swahili. I won't blame the coach, because don't have any quality in the bench. What Nigerians fail to understand is that we don't have a good team. Imagine Victor Moses our best player @ the qualifiers is easily dispossessed off the ball, and falls @ every little contact, the Chinese imports mikel(wrong passes) & Ighalo(blew a one on one) were totally off. Iheanacho(lost a clear cut opportunity) @ a point he was playing against Nigeria, Etebo hold on to the ball for too long, and ended up losing it.

This boys are not serious, imagine in our last match, after Musa scored the 2nd goal, instead of Ighalo celebrating he was busy looking @ the coach to quickly bring him in, and when Musa was about scoring the 2nd goal Iheanacho was busy calling him to pass the ball to him. In conclusion we new our boys were not too good. We were deceived when they defeated the African Champions. We should leave out Ighalo, Onazi and Mikel from the team, and keep the others.

How many Christians can save such child in that situation? Islam remains the true religion that cares for humanity. Gassama is a proud Muslim, not a terrorist

After saving one soul, they'll kill 100 humans. Yes you guys indeed really cares for humanity.

In essence you are justifying the over 100 persons the Fulanis killed.

sagitariusbaby:
I read the statement but I can't figure out where the president made a mention of that.

This does not mean I support his stay beyond 2019, but we should be factual in our criticism

My bro, i heard it in 7am Radio Nigeria News, this morning that it was as a result of the killing of cows that resulted to 100 persons being killed in plateau state. This PMB never regards human life, always equating human lives with that of cows.

Saraki Stay one place make we hear word, fear fear man.

I hope OBJ did not exonerated himself from the blame, because he has been in power for 11yrs( more than any other president ).

They had to drop the defection threat, because PMB never gave them the needed attention.

It all depends on his level of conviction. If he's jobless then the leaders of his local assembly should assist in securing a job for him, rather than being paid by the church. My personal reason is, if the instrumentalist is being paid, then he has received the reward of his services but if not being paid, it mean that God will be his reward. God said that " i'll not forget your labour of love towards Me " we all know the difference between mans reward and God's reward.

Same story being recycled with different headlines. The fight was between Delta state delegates who after eating started fighting themselves. However the fight lasted for 5mins before it was brought under control. This happened even before the president arrived the venue.

Where you there?

What's the population of Bayelsa State that has 8 LGAs, that 28000, civil service workers will be sacked. I don't believe it

Fayemi's intention is to balance the equation. Its now 1-1

Ordinarily these men won't come close to such places if not what they want. They'll prefer to drive through in their car.

Prove that he raped the goat. Probably he stole it.

Paperwhite:
This trend of party-controlled state winning state LGA elections is not a healthy trend @ all.

In some PDP controlled states in 2015, the reverse was the case.

This Gernot Rohr sef!

The match against England changed when we switched to 3-5-2. We defeated Argentina with the same formation. Mikel had no business playing in an advanced role with Iwobi on the pitch.

The Wing backs were not supporting the wingers and Ighalo was isolated in the attack. Ebuehi is a preferable option to Abdullahi.

A 3-5-2 would have choked the midfield for the Croatians and allowed wide spaces during Nigerian attacks while stopping long balls from the Croatians. We would have also had an extra man when defending except during counter attacks.

Going forward, the Icelandic team seem to be better at long balls than the Croats. They have the height advantage and would want to score from set pieces. I was disappointed in the Croats and think that Iceland would want to take the advantage of the draw with Argentina and qualify from the group. There is no time for show by thw SE or useless long balls.

Let's play the African way. We are not good at long balls. We pass the ball around.

I will only agree with you that Mikel was played out of position. But saying that Musa & Ebuehi would have been preferable, i do not agree, because Abdullahi was one of our best defenders and very consistent and impressive both in qualifiers and friendlies. While for Musa; he lost form long ago. Even he never made any impact.

Okocha should keep quiet because he's not a coach. Like Jayjay said, Rohr used similar pattern to prosecute friendlies. As a coach since such formation did not favour him, its the more reason he resorted to a different tactics. We should let Rohr be, afterall we never believed we'll be at the world cup when initially grouped with Cameroun, Algeria and Zambia at the qualifying group stage. And Jayjay should also that his former national teammate, Sunday Oliseh, resigned as National team coach few months to the qualifiers before Rohr was appointed, with a target of qualifying Nigeria at the world cup.

I think they got married between 2006 & 2007

Eyah! If these are the persons we voted for to represent our collective interest @ the National Assembly, then Nigeria is finished.

sincere9ja:
... the truth is its not buhari you can see everything from his body language. the man is not in charged of his government. those people are are doing all this are the same people forcing him to continue.

Buhari was elected by Nigerians to take charge, now for you to say he's not in charge of his Govt. is the more reason he should be voted out of office.

Hemanwel:
I beg to disconcur with Mr Sowore on this one.

It was never in Buhari's power to get Abiola freed from detention when he was alive. So how could he have been of any help to Abiola?

Buhari is still going back to Daura anyways!

This is pure advertisement of ignorance.
