MetalJigsaw:
why would a sane coach pick up to 4 goal keepers to one tournament??

A tournament with just 7 matches at maximum. What was he thinking

My brother, I can't really defend him but I know about 50 percent of the participating nations are going with 4 goal keepers.

forgiveness:
If that’s the law, how can they go against it by allowing 28 players instead of 23 players?

I stated earlier that 28 players are permitted for the tournament because of the current Covid-19 pandemic, however, the current document on 'Regulations AFCON 2021 (you can get this on CAF official website under competition regulations) has not been revised to reflect this change.

Oga Forgiveness, enjoy the rest of your day

forgiveness:
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk. Okay na

But that hasn't validated your earlier stance about the law

forgiveness:
Can you please show me the new law?

My bad, it was a typo. I am not aware of any revision of the law.

forgiveness:
Stalled law. We are not going with 23 players but 28 players.

I know that 28 players are allowed to participate at this coming AFCON because of Covid-19, however, I am not aware of the law being revised to reflect the accommodation for 28 players.

I think the statutory process for player replacement prior to the tournament still remains the same.

#Nigeria will be without striker Odion Ighalo at #AFCON2021 after his Saudi Arabian club @AlShababSaudiFC refused to release him for the tournament in #Cameroon.

And there will be no replacement.

Cyriel Dessers called up to replace Odion Ighalo on Eagles' AFCON'21 squad

@ojbsport

Contrary to earlier report from @Ojbsport, seems we are going with 27 players and there wouldn't be a replacement for Ighalo at Afcon.

Congratulations @elyte89

End stage kidney disease, a cankerworm, has taken a lot of our young men and women in their prime age.. Really sad..
May his soul rest in peace.

Base on owngoalnigeria which I don't trust there report Ighalo club does not want to release him for afcon just like Watford opportunity for Cyril Desser to get a call up as a replacement

Adepoju Tobi Samuel, a writer for PulseNigeria24 also posted similar news. There might be an element of truth in the information..

Is the OandO 20w50 fully synthetic?

No, a Mineral oil sir

Noodles with boiled egg and dodo gizzard..

JayromWrites:
Mowiz is actually the chief editor of OwngoalNigeria

Oh, I didn't know that.. But some other sport journalists thumbed up his assertion..

Ikanium:
Nigerians are invading Watford Twitter page
It has begun

I don't know why Nigerians are attacking Watford while their own, Dennis is also complicit..

Check out for @MrMowiz on Twitter and read his thread on Dennis attitudes

Watch eguavoen short interview abt Dennis not coming to afcon...ire o

Dennis and Watford management are on the same page, unfortunately our NFF played into their hands.

As far back as early December, it was reported by owngoal that Dennis wouldn't be coming to Nations cup.

Claudio Ranieri clears the air on the exclusion of Emmanuel Dennis from Nigeria's #AFCON2021 squad.

ChrisKels:
Did you just hear what MAO said concerning Dennis? He was never invited alongside with others, instead Rohr sneaked in his name late after the backlash from fans when the boy started scoring. So Ranieri was right, Dennis's invite came later than Ekong's, and it was Rohr that did it that way because he never wanted Dennis

Rohr never rated Dennis, he had to bulge to pressures from fans before sneaking in his name to the list. On the other hand, Dennis doesn't rate us either. I don't think he has that Osimhen kind of love for this country. I think it's best he stays with his club while those who have hunger to play come in to don our jerseys..

By the way, most of the speakers on the space are bit pessimistic as if all other countries are doing something fantastic as regards preparation at the moment.

Thanks, I've joined as well

DMechyy:


Were you physically with the vehicle when water was coming out from the exhaust?

Yes sir, I was there physically. Some water was also dripping out under the engine.

Dozieson:
And there is no leak from any part of the engine?
This is surprising. An engine that shorts oil, should with be leaking or burning oil.

Burning oil affect all kinds of oil.

It means the lighter oil is leaking somewhere and the thicker oil is not

My assumption too, sir.

Dozieson:
Hmmm. So there is no oil shortage using the oleum? What is the amount of shortage in the 48hrs? Lugbe to garki is less than 25km.

The switch to Oando Oleum was done this week Monday and no evidence of shortage as of this morning.

The last shortage was noticed on 21/12/2021, the oil level then was not up to the lower dot on the oil dipstick. Six litres of Mobil 1 5W30 was used 2 days prior and I practically supervised the change.

I recently changed my car (Lexus RX350, 2007) engine oil with 6 Litres of Mobil 1 5W30 fully synthetic. Two days after the oil change, I noticed my check engine light was flashing. The car was taken to an auto-workshop immediately where the oil check was found to be extremely low, water was seen gushing out from the exhaust pipe and the car was difficult to start. The auto engineer concluded that the top cylinder gasket was burnt and some of the valves were bad after further check.
The mileage on the car was 180,420; no evidence of oil leakage and the vehicle was not smoky prior to the incident.

The top cylinder gasket and all the 24 valves were replaced. The car is currently running smoothly.
Oando oleum SL 20W50 was suggested to be used for a further oil change by the auto repairer.
Is the suggestion a wise one or not?

PS: The oil change prior to the incident was with the recommended Mobil 1 5w30, however oil shortage was noticed 2 weeks after its change and a top-up with 2 litres was done.

Dozieson:
They want to kill the engine with that oleum 20w50. Revert to the Mobil 1

Thanks for your reply but my worry is the oil shortage on 2 different occasions while using Mobil 1. The last incident happened just 48 hrs after the oil change. I only drove it 4 times from Riverpark estate(Lugbe) to Garki Area 11 which is just about 25 minutes drive on the express.

The meat of the matter is everyone should get vaccinated..

The health implications of this environmental pollution on both the young and adults might be devastating in 20 years time..

I hope the government get its acts together and find a way of curtailing it.

Newcastle a Manchester United rival ke? What an insult!

safarigirl:
Is this the final list? Or will they drop some players after camp?

I think that's the final list..

The team list seems fair aside the inclusion of Ighalo and Musa who appear to have passed their primes.

It looks as if the Super Eagles is a now a rehabilitation center for some out of form players.

I would have preferred the inclusion of Alhassan and Amoo (mid fielders) to Musa and Ighalo (strikers).

As regards the exclusion of Dessers, Ebuehi, Bassey and Akpogona, I think they can be recalled back to the team for world cup qualifiers after the Nation's cup.

He is now FIFA errand boy and right hand man in Africa. Infantino is very close to him, he even gets to represent him in some occasions...
This may put him in a bad light amongst other africa FAs and CAF. He could be a saboteur being that the western countries want a postponement or cancellation of CAF and him being close to thjs western block can be used to achieve this plans

Pinnick is playing a dangerous politics while using the NFF as the ladder to achieve his personal ambition
