All these illegal miners should be brought to book

Mujtahida:

Na glory hunting dey behind the wrong decision making. You know our football culture here na. If it were Iwobi I am certain he'd have passed the ball.

Moments like that are key. We miss them in crucial games, we will regret oo.

Wait until chukweze dribbles 3 defenders and keeper then tries to dribble another defender and lost the ball in the process.

comodo:
Just remembered something. Heard Da Bull during the commentary when he said that Today is the day team SE will break the 'jink' jinx of winning CIV @ home. And also winning a game wearing this white jersey. It got me scratching my head tho. Does it mean we have not won any game with this white jersey

the statistics against the white jersey is very poor.
At some point, I felt the player do not intend to get it stained hence their classy display that do lead to defeat

sweetkev:
They lack tactics and always making noise at war front. What's the use of radio and drones to locate your enemies location. Our generals are doing nothing at all. Did you see them killed any terrorist in the video ? Nigerian army are too weak, just wasting tax payers money.

I would have love them to sneak into their camp with the aid of technology to reduce casualties and ammunition wastage.
They can't be up to 20 armed bandits at a time
US army did it for Osama in his camp without noise making in the forest like the Nigerian army.

WhiteNRed:
They should continue deceiving themselves.
There was serious fire fighting and someone has the chance and freedom to do vidoes and snap pictures.

Thanks to God i am not living there. And dont have any family member there. Both their seriousness and hypocrisy is still on them.

They should have collected ammunition from government then quietly give them to bandits in exchange for dollars like we do hear before?
They are showing u evidence of their work now and yet you are not satisfied

Technology should be deployed to differentiate between kidnapper and the kidnapped.

Very impressive efforts

Samueltemi337:
Osimhen had a beautiful game
what are you saying

That was because Nigeria won.

Why was oshimen more active at the sideline as a coach than on the field of play as a player?

Ibtxxo:
Please advise my friend who is 40 years.
He had no job, no skill and had only SSCE

That is already 4:0 against him.
When and how is he going to equalize not to talk of winning?

MetalJigsaw:
How can 4231 contain six defenders??

the coach is called jpes
He does has he pleases

Odunayaw:
343

4-2-3-1
More like 6 defenders

solonnachi:
Why do SE always put us in this mood? They make us tensed, then they make us use calculator. Why

Oh God, show us mercy and love!

If u must win a tournament, u must play and win big teams.
Calculator is only useful in crossing the group stage.

ThunderFireAgba:

Lol.
The technical team are protecting their most priced asset. He may start against CIV or come in as a substitute, but al-hassan is not yet certain until evening or tomorrow morning.

Protecting failure?
They want to crash out first before using them for another qualifier?

Buhari IKA OF AFRICA


Nigerians don’t need to read Buhari’s Book because everyone is now living the script of his Book from it’s bedevilling genesis to its bewildering revelation.

I'll rather read the terms and conditions of first bank's loan than read that book

robosky02:



1. The EQG team had a game plan to seat back, soak the pressure and hit Nigeria on the counter

And there defense was cagged so Nigeria can't penetrate.

2. In such a game, a direct play will never work as they will always over power you or frustrate you.

But Nigeria was playing a direct ball making Osimhen the sole focus of our play. Every one was trying to pass to him. Of course the EQG will ensure they're all on him and stop his flow



3. What the coach should have done is to split thier defense by using more of the wings to drew them out.
And Moses Simon and Chukweze would have done that well.
But he kept Chukweze on the bench and Moses Simon was moved to the right-wing role instead of his more familiar left-wing position, this disrupted the team's attacking dynamics.



And also use more strike option with at least two strikers. Would have been ok

4. He left it too late before bringing in wingers Chukweze..
And the striker at barely 3 minutes to go

Jose Peseiro is still a learner

Chukweze is not a player you depend on when playing for S.E. Very wasteful player only for national team

GanagiBitrus:

If we can get a Draw here,
Then Eq/Guinea Draws G/Bissau
&we beat G/Bissau
Then we qualify with 5pts.

Winning the cup requires beating any team

Once they lose the 1st match, everyone will lose hope

Dangote did not built refinery to make Nigerians happy with less price.

His fuel will surely be more expensive. But thank God he is not a friend of this government, else government would have ban importation of fuel in his favor or better still release a policy that will make him milk the country dry alone with his refinery.

Maxicreed:


Let's move. We go bring that cup home this time around

Just dey play!

ChrisKels:
There is something I have been meaning to ask. Elyte and our other Muslim brothers please educate me. Why do Africans, especially West Africans spell Arabic names differently from their original Arabic spellings?

Kalidu instead of the sweet sounding Kalid.

Saidu instead of Saeed.

Umaru instead of Umar

Bashiru instead of Bashir

Aishatu instead of Aisha etc

Abeg help me with simple explanation or reason as to why we spell and pronounce these names differently? Even Mohamed in West Africa is Mohammadu. Why do we always add that "u"

Lamurudu instead of
Nimrod.

U for making U-turns instead of going forward

I doubt if this team can win a match in afcon not to talk of winning the trophy

Kog45:
I just listened to Peseiro interview after Guinea match.He was talking as if Nigeria played France.Talking about testing different formations and how he was overran in the midfield.

Does he care about midfield?
A man that can select 20 strikers and 3 goalkeepers for a tournament

mostob:
Argh! See you. JPes was in England for 2 weeks to visit Pep. You see the tactic he is hiding, we call it Odayato in Yoruba.

So you think jpes can win 3 or 4 matches in afcon with any tactic?

A trophy winning team should be unbeatable all the time with a winning mentality . That is one attribute of Senegal and Algeria in Africa.
Same with France and Argentina

Nigeria is a joke of the century with it's basket goal keepers and a palm wine tapper having a part-time job as a P.E teacher coaching the team

Marjoribanks:
Never write off a Nigerian team going to AFCON!
Reflecting on the 2004 AFCON:

the Nigerian team's rollercoaster journey that defied expectations. It all began with a setback—a loss to Morocco in the opening game, compounded by the dismissal of Babayaro and Yakubu due to indiscipline. Many believed it spelled the end for Nigeria's campaign.

Yet, against all odds, the team, captained by Okocha and led by Kanu, rallied. Their resilience and determination became evident as they fought their way back into contention. Amidst the challenges, a new star emerged in the form of the young Osaze, who fearlessly showcased his talent on the grand stage, signaling the birth of a promising career.

Advancing from the group stage with an impressive victory over South Africa, Nigeria faced a formidable challenge in the quarterfinals against Cameroon. With many considering Cameroon, led by Eto'o, as the favorites, the odds seemed stacked against the Super Eagles.

However, in a thrilling encounter, Nigeria displayed their tenacity. Jay Jay's stunning free-kick just before halftime leveled the score, setting the stage for an intense second half. Then, a moment of brilliance from Papillo resulted in one of the most memorable assists in football history, setting up Utaka for a remarkable goal.

Utaka's strike, though seemingly slow and uncertain at first, found its mark, hitting the post and finding the net. The sheer joy and ecstasy of that moment were palpable, with celebrations erupting both on the field and among fans. Such was the intensity of the moment that some fans were so caught up in celebration that they didn't realize they were injured, like the person who reportedly lost a thumb in the excitement!

Despite their valiant efforts, Nigeria faced a heart-wrenching defeat in the semifinals against the host nation, Tunisia, in a penalty shootout. The loss, although hard-fought, was not without controversy, leaving a feeling that with the aid of VAR, victory might have been within our reach!

S/O to Yobo, Olofijana Okoronkwo, Abey George, Udeze etc

To my fellow countrymen, let not this friendly setback dampen your spirits.
I am confident that the Super Eagles will regroup and soar at the AFCON.
I promise you!

Dey play!

Uzoho will deliver today

I just hope it won't be more than 2

Gainman:
Why u no dey quiet. Someone was coming into his own country and u are accusing him of holding an expired passport. Are u okay?

Why should a Passport even expire?
Renewal should be based on if it is damaged, defaced or fully used to the last page.

Is this not the same ministry headed by aregbesola for many years without anything good to point at?

If the seating is not for spiritual cleansing of the throne by the clergy then something is not right.

Yankiss:
While the government has zero plans for the youths, yahoo yahoo and other fraud ventures are a matter of choice. It's propelled by get-rich0quick syndrome and greed. We should not hide under Government failure to justice the unacceptable. Some youths still make it out there without fraud.

The government is not bothered about development of the country or about the youths. The youths are good enough as thugs and nothing more. So I fail to capture how their japa affects an insensitive idoncare govt. The elite get to power to share our commonwealth, not to develop anybody or anything.

the only plan the government has for the youth is EFCC and police extortion

Princezibk:
Confirm ! But JAY JAY is a phenomenal player during his era till date 🙌

Jay Jay was never a serious player in green white green until he became the captain.
He plays for fun and entertainment not for glory nor honor
