Good, but to me I dont see shoping malls as major achievement because they are killing small small businesses, is it not South African government that is taken the lion share of the gain they make back to South Africa, Indigenous Malls should be encouraged rather than this Nigerians excitement about Shoprite

Rayhutar:
How many do you have in Osogbo,Ibadan,Abeokuta,Ado Ekiti and Akure, Remember that Lagos is no mans Land and a commercial center of Nigeria

Abagworo:
You can't compare Obiano who goes about snapping pictures with Rochas who is silently working and has gone too far to be compared in this thread. Owerri Mall is already 100% complete. Have you seen photo of Okorocha parading himself inside it.

What will u call this

TheGoodJoe:

Come on, we are talking U17 teams here. If he was U20 and he is not invited, it is a different case but our coaches scout our U17 teams from the grassroots.

It is impossible for him to get a call up now. At the U20 and above level, if we call him and he says yes good. If we call him and he says no, we have too much talents not to miss him.

Aba want to take over everything...



I REGRETTED BUYING AN ABA SHOE LAST WEEK... I WORE THE SHOE TWICE, I HAD TO DUMP IT BECAUSE THE SURFACE WAS PEELING UP AND IT WAS TEARING....... IF YOU SEE THE WAY THE SHOE BEND GO ONE SIDE..........

I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND TO PATRONISE FOREIGN MADE SHOES BECAUSE IT IS MORE DURABLE AND CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME.......

OKRIKA SHOE ROCKS.........


ABA BOYS ARE STILL FAR FROM MAKING GOOD SHOES.

TheSuperNerd:
"The rest", or just the other 2, like they are plenty others in a top5 list? #smiles

It was just a top5 and 3 out of 5 satisfied you and you were still disappointed. **smh**

Uhmm, "MOST IN-FORM" is the "key term". That's what guided my drawing up of that list.

I didn't make the list to meet anyone's satisfaction as you also have players you always clamor for yourself..... Solanke-guy right? #smiles

I know my list is good based on the title I gave it. I'm not looking at minutes played. I look at Form, Quality (Class) and Potentials. The top5 was based on "Form"

Note: If you check the super Eagles thread few pages back from its current page, you'll see a detailed discourse I had on the topic. As for the players you listed, I also listed most of them in that discourse. So pls, try to be more investigative.

I prefer avoiding arguments these days online. If you're looking for such... Not here Sir. #smiles Ciao.....

Hmmm......

The Western Sahara issue is not like the Biafra issue for these reasons

1.Western Sahara was a colony of Spain (was called Spanish Morocco)....while Morocco proper was a colony of France.

2. Morocco got independence from France in the 1960's. Western Sahara did not get independence till 1975.

3.When Spain quit Western Sahara.....Morocco and Mauritania marched in and split the country between themselves.

4.Eventually, Mauritania left its half of Western Sahara....which was taken over by Morocco eventually.

5.The OAU (Now AU) Strongly censured Morocco for its activity....and as a result....Morocco pulled out of the then OAU in 1975. Since then, they have stayed out.

6.Since the 1970's,Nigeria has always backed the Western Sahara.....in line with OAU/AU mandates. So..Buhari is just continuing an old policy...which is backed by all other African states.

Sorry,but this ain't Biafra in the desert....

TheSuperNerd:
Siasia's excuses for the exclusion of Leon and Success are not cogent enough.

Success features in the best league in the world "quality-wise" for the worst team in the league and still has 5goals and 3 assists in 25 games for them.
(The Epl which is the most popular, most followed, and most intense league closely follows the la liga as the 2nd best soccer league on earth).

Granada is a low-quality team in the world best football/soccer league but Success' qualities still shines through. It's about time Success got blooded into the Super Eagles. He offers more "quality-wise" than Fanendo Adi and Aminu Umar (who are both good players too).

Well, with the Likes of Kelechi Iheanacho(Attacking Midfield/Forward "hybrid" role), Victor Moses, Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, and Odion Ighalo, Nigeria hopefully won't lack goals. The quality in our attack is still more than enough for the Egyptians.

Leon has already featured for The Super Eagles in a couple of games under previous coaches Keshi and Oliseh and was excellent every time he put on the Green and white. He's been excellent as Right-back and under Oliseh he showed great leadership in central defence in the game against Cameroun.

He features for Mainz in the Bundesliga (the world's 3rd best league) in "CENTRAL DEFENCE" and has excelled so far. He played all 90mins when his team shocked Bundesliga champions and currrent table toppers, Bayern munich 2-1 in their own backyard (@Allianz Arena in munich).

He's currently Nigeria's finest central defender in Europe (yes he can play as a rightback too). In fact, he's one of Nigeria's most in-form top 5 defenders in Europe adding all "Capped" and "Uncapped" Nigerian players.....

The others are Kenneth Omeruo (Kasimpasa, Turkey on loan from Chelsea FC, England), Chidozie Awaziem (FC Porto, Portugal), Kingsley Ehizibue (PEC Zwolle, Holland), and William Troost Ekong (Haugesund, Norway on loan from KAA Gent, Belgium).

ANYWAY, BREAKING NEWS IS AT LEAST SIASIA HAS HANDED LEON BALOGUN A LATE CALL-UP BRINGING NIGERIA'S FOREIGN PROS FOR THE AFCON DOUBLE-HEADER TO 21.

With the home-based players invited still 22 in number, it's now officially a 43-man squad for the two matches on march 25 and 29.

Icon4s:
These talented young lads are just too many. That was the point I was pointing out to Tbaba and forgiveness about Ehizibue who they feel we have lost a lot by allowing Holland to invite him for their U21. I dnt believe Ehizibue is better than Nura Abdullahi, John Lazarus and Sincere Seth. Not to talk of the right back we have in the U23(Seth one of them) and Super Eagles.

Icon4s:
Ok thanks, he joined them at U20.

Icon4s:
Alex Iwobi featured in the NIG vs DRC and NIG vs CMR friendlies.

Talking abt Alaba and Delle Alli, i can see they have helped Austria and England respectively to win the World Cup.

Is Ehizibue d only young player that has nt been invited? We have youngsters like Awaziem, Success, Odubajo, and a host of others hu are on d waiting line. Is Ehizibue better than them?

Icon4s:
In that team were also Kenneth Omeruo, Ramon Azeez, Michael Olaitan, Abdul Ajagun, and Olanrewaju Kayode.

The thing is majority of U17 graduates dnt end up playing for d senior national team. I think so far d Japan 93 set had d highest number of players hu later played for d Super Eagles:just 5players out of 18 in dat squad. They are closely followed by that 2009 set that u are talking down. Yes 4players: Kennth Omeruo, Ogenyi Onazi, Ramon Azeez & Stanley Okoro have played for d Super Eagles. Bt for ill health Michael Olaitan i blieve would have featured for d Super Eagles by now. Now remember those boys are still below 24 , there is a possibility dat players like Abdul Ajagun, Mike Olaitan and Olanrewaju Kayode can get to feature for d eagles.

When dat crop progressed to d U20s in 2011 & 2013 they were jouned by players like: Ahmed Musa, Uche Nwofor, Shehu Abdullahi, Usman Mohammed, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Umar (forgotten his first name) and Kingsley Madu all of whom u know are Super Eagles players today. They are also known as d John Obu's boys; jst like how we have d Yemi Tela's boys, Manu's boys and Amuneke's boys.

Permit me to say that d John Obu's boys: 2009 U17, 2011 U20 & 2013 U20 dominate d Super Eagles and Olympic teams today. That production line to me did nt turn out badly.

Icon4s:
Let me start with ur last sentence. Iwobi was nt jst invited bc he is abt to b capped. He has been capped already . I am surprised u dnt know dat.

Then to ur other statement; nobody is bitting any finger bc of Alaba or Dele Alli. U cannot b capping every d!ck and harry player u see in Europe jst bc u dnt want dem to play for d other country. So we should ignore d already identified and established players and start chasing after players hu probably have nt even shown interest to play for Nigeria?

I am nt saying we should nt go after such players bt as i said before we cannot cap all of them all at once even if we parade four Super Eagles teams. After all in d last 1-2 years we have capped players like Leone Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Steven Ukoh and Alex Iwobi. In more distant past we also converted Sola Ameobi, Victor Moses and Victor Anichebe.

Such players are many and can only b introduced bit by bit.

TheGoodJoe:

Iwobi trained for some days with Coach Siasia and travelled with the team for the match. That is far better than those who do not know anything about Coach Siasia.

TheGoodJoe:
As you can see, I was talking about the players currently in camp and the reasons he invited them. I said, "some of them" know his philosophy. You came with your list of foreign players who have no relation to the point I made and erroneously put a player who walked with Coach Siasia. So you can beat around the Bush as long as you want.

I repeat, the reason why he invited lots of home based players, is because he can take time to work with them and some of them knows his philosophy. The statement is so simple.

AIG07:
The '09 u-17 sets that paraded d likes of Olarewaju Kayode, Edafe Egbedi, Sanni Emmanuel(the super sub), Stanley Okoro(who was den tagged as Nigeria version of Messi), Paul d shot stopper(that dude throws ball n reaches d opponents half wit his hands) onazi(no one ever tot he 'll go far in his career after his lackluster performance against Germany) and d rest were just bunch of flukes who shone and went into oblivion.
Nigerians tot they will be d next generation of a super talented Eagles but most of them failed to live up to expectation just like d 2007 set of Chrisantus n co...

Those years were years of AGE CHEATING, no wonder we've not been able to pull a strong national team till now.

'WHATEVER A MAN SOW; HE SHALL REAP'

Icon4s:
Do you know how many uncapped young players Nigeria has as at today?

Even if we form four Super Eagles Teams not all of them will still get that chance you are talking about.

How many matches have the Super Eagles played in the last 5-6 months? Or you expected us to have flooded the Team to play Egypt with uncapped players just to secure their nationalities. Look at the current squad in camp you will see that there are so many debutants already.

Besides, is he even better than the crop of young Right backs we have? Is he better than Shehu Abdullahi, Sincere Seth, Musa Mohammed, Moses Odubajo; some of whom have not even seen invitation to the Super Eagles. There are also Leon Balogun and Efe Ambrose who are the more established Right back options.

I dnt think Ehizubue can even make our U23 Team if given a fair chance.

Holland can have him play for their U21 if they want. He is still eligible to play for Nigeria in future if he improves on his game.
