See Leon Balogun's tweet hailing our home based Super Eagles. On and off pitch, Leon is simply awesome.

Good luck @NGSuperEagles in the #WAFU2017 final 2nite. Best jollof rice comes from us, show them that we are the better ballers as well ���

TheSuperNerd:
This list is very current. Was just released couple of yours ago.... L'Equipe is another reputable media house.... their rankings are very recognised. Thanks for sharing....


And Sir Famocious... kindly put the source biko...

You are welcome brother.. I've fixed in the source , thanks for calling my attention to it.

Nigerian trio Alex Iwobi (#25), Kelechi Iheanacho (#29), and Wilfred Ndidi (#36) named among L'Equipe's top 50 U21 players in World football .

Amaju Pinnick should allow this dude to be, no need putting undue pressure on him. His international career is his personal business. Let's channel our energy on those who are willing to play for us.

By the way, we still have crop of good young strikers like Onyekuru, Dennis, Dessers, Onaichu and Awoniyi who wouldn't mind repping green white green any time any day .

Why allow Tammy Abraham to disrespect Nigeria when the likes of Cyriel Dessers ,Awoniyi, Onuachi, Olayinka etc are dying 2be capped #Shame

Happily

Big ups to the lads. They've surpassed my expectations based on their initial performance.

Tunisians wouldn't be easy prey though but I believe the guys will put up a very good show today and possibly cap it up with a win tonight !

Yagaaa...Nig 76-71 Senegal game up

carbonado:
Ngr 68: Sen 55...I BELIEVE....

Yagaa...osheyyy boiz

carbonado:
End of 2nd Qtr: Ngr 34 : Sen 29

The boiz should keep on blazing ooo,it shouldn't end up like our game against DR Congo

Thanks for the updates

They have Senegalese to lock horns with tomorrow in the semifinal

LagosEconomist:
Nigeria win 106-91

The 3 point shooting 16/26 was crazy.

That gave us the game

Big ups to the lads. I heard they bossed the Cameroonians from the start to finish..

Governor Akeredolu of Ondo State also finds time out of his busy schedules to tweet at Nairaland Twitter handle.
This is a screenshot of his response to a Nairaland thread created when he received Prof Osinbajo at Akure International airport some days ago.

femianski:
rashford scores
anytime the guy scores I just dey remember kelechi rashford scores
anytime the guy scores I just dey remember kelechi

Hmmmm
It's bit hard to compare the two young dudes..
Psychologically, Rashford is ahead of Ihenacho ; kudus to Mourinho but shame to 'Mr Driller'.

I think it was Osas Okora

Thanks bro...

84* GOOOOOOAL! NIGERIA!

MOSES OKO scores from a brilliant free kick. Nigeria �� 1-0 �� Sierra Leone. #FoxSportsWAFU #WAFU2017 #WafuCup https:///IqghAovEkn

Much better, but they won't be easy with this team we have. The good win vs Mali helped us top the group as we have the best points difference in the games between the 3 teams with 2 wins in the group.

Angola vs Senegal will the a great game to see.

Tunisia appear to have a clear path to the final, but strange things can happen.

I agree with you. Game between Angola and Senegal is likely going to be keenly contested. Present Senegalese squad looks more formidable than the Angolans. Seems only Senegalese and Tunisian won all their 3 matches.

Remii:
which section of the constitution prohibits prostitution?

See me see Jamb kwesion

The pairings for the quarter finals

Cameroon appears to be a better opponent than Tunisia(co-host nation) to me

Hope she gets arrested for prostitution

LagosEconomist:
Read the 1st post of this thread and you have your answer. Dalung, Musa Kida and Sam Ahmedu happened.

The previous coach submitted a plan for this tournament months ago. They had an election a few weeks to Afrobasket (actually 2 elections) and 2 different bodies emerged. Dalung backed one of the bodies and those ones threw out Voigt and his plans. A lot of the players were not happy and a few that were contacted declined. Diogu accepted perhaps because he did not play during the last tounrnament.

That is how we ended up with this team. The so called home based policy is just dumb. None of these clowns will go to a General Hospital to be operated by a 'Home based' doctor if he has access to Johns Hopkins in America. Not even the President with the billions spent on Aso Rock clinic. The top tournament in the continent is not where you develop talent. Grassroot work need a long term development plan and the accompanying economic plan but these clowns don't really care about that. We have enough talent available to us to be the 2nd best team in the world and these jokers are determined to mess everything up.

The Women's victory was down to Sam Vincent and Mfon Udoka, but I'm sure they would try to take the glory.

Thank you sir for the information, God bless you.

somehow:
Someone above said it was a policy approach, they pushed in 6 home based players which meant some known names must give space

Oh i see..a policy to totally overhaul the team that won last championship. Seems they don't have the word 'continuity' in their dictionaries.

Why their policy shy away from building on existing structure ( formidable for that matter) but chose the path of total overhauling ?
Time shall tell how promising the policy is ..

Joebie:
Chidiebere is very good. Man City no go buy am for no reason. It's hard to make comparisons at this point.

I'm not disputing the fact that Chidiebere is not a fantastic player but I see more promising career in Kelechi...
Nonetheless, anything can happen...

somehow:
I don't think this is about sentiment, its more on trying to push what's not ripe to the market before its time.

Sentiments in term of players selection..what happened to the whole crew that won the tournament 2 years ago ?

While not even at least 4 players from the winning team of 2015 in this current squad ?

AIG07:
K. Nwakali scored for VVV Venlo on his debut. He came on at 75th minute and struck at 91st minute to earn his side a draw away to Groningen.

That's pretty good for him. Hopefully he's going to get more playing time at VVV Venlo. He looks more promising than his elder brother from my own perspective.

carbonado:
yeah...they are good....but would not have stood a chance against the class of 2015...it sad that in Africa...we still play dirty politics and put personal interest above our country.....imagine if we had the Aminu brothers..seni lawal, be uzor, oguchi...smh......infact they should come home..they have tried.....because if we face a senegal this way....hmmmmmm.......

I agree with you totally...this is a total resemblance of what happens in our society.
Sentiments wouldn't take us far but merits...

Sorry bro..
Your test may come out negative if you had not been infected prior to this encounter. You can go for a test now and repeat it in 6 months time.
Your symptoms are non specific for disease conditions. It may be a viraemia, malaria or bacteria infection.

It is always good to play safe and stay negative.
Most of the foreign aids and assistance Nigerians living with HIV are being withdrawn and the care for those clients may likely be expensive later on.

Moreover, there are many people with HIV who are currently failing the second line therapy due to non drug compliance. No 3rd line for now.
For your parents sake, protect yourself.
You can equally do hepatitis B and C screening. If negative for hepatitis B, kindly go for hepatitis B immunization.

**Off topic***

D'Tigers beat Mali 90-67.


Looks like the team is getting better..

Congrats to the lads.
It's either they are getting better or played against a weaker opposition. Either way, the victory was emphatic !
Their next game is tomorrow against Democratic Republic of Congo

carbonado:
