TheGoodJoe:

That was not the scope of the debate.

zebrawebs:
As the 2023 general elections draw closer, there are concerns in some quarters as to the seriousness of the South-West geo-political zone to vie for the presidential ticket.

Less than two years to the 2023 general elections, there are still concerns in certain quarters on the health challenges of the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Bola Tinubu.

Reacting to the development, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Jimoh Adewunmi Babafemi has said that the South-West geo-political zone may shift their support to a former Governor of Abia State and Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu in 2023.

According to him, “Kalu is more prepared to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 judging by his acceptability.”

TheGoodJoe:

This comment is irrelevant and baseless. Totally off tangent and you are doing it not out of a clear passion to debate a point. You are doing this out of a clear irrelevant bias. This I find disturbing.

Barcelona might not be as successful as Real Madrid but they have done fantastically well.

Note that I am not saying copy Barcelona because they are successful but because I believe the style will suit us. So are you saying we should follow Real Madrid because their style will suit us?

Now you, break down the style of Real Madrid that you want us to follow.

TheGoodJoe:
Where did I say it started at Barcelona? You just asked an irrelevant question.

Water supply and water treatment facilities
Modern drainage network all around the city
Fiber optics
Road markings
Waste disposal and management
Intracity rail network
A proper downtown and business district
24/7 electricity
Fire hydrant in major neighborhoods

And so many other things Abuja is missing

TheGoodJoe:
Keep it simple - The Philosophy of Xavi in a nutshell.

"I think he follows the same philosophy as Guardiola," Al Sadd's Guilherme Torres told ESPN. "Having possession and enjoying the game, but not just having possession. Sometimes you see teams with 80% possession, but only one shot on goal.

"[Xavi] likes to be aggressive, fight for the ball, play in the opponent's half and play with intelligence. He likes it when players are happy on the pitch -- I think the same way he was [as a player]. He likes to put a lot of pressure on opponents in their half. That's how he understands football."

---

I am seeing people throwing names from Moldovia to Uzbekistan. Some names I can't pronounce as choice candidate to coach Super Eagles.

Look at the above philosophy. That is exactly the way I believe we will excel as a team.

We need a coach who understands and can put that template to work. So all these names can't guarantee that

Amunike understands and has played the template. That makes him best to do it.

Also we need to keep in mind that we need thorough scouting home and abroad to find gems that will improve the team.

Amunike has the history of spotting fantastic talents and this is another reason why he should get the job.

If you Kazakhstan and Estonia coaches can not fit in the above, it is a waste of time and money signing them.

I was just waiting for someone to mention Lagos. Only certain parts of Lagos is developed. Like 10-15% and when I refer to those parts as developed, I am talking of west African standard.

Abuja has more development because it was built from scratch. Yet still lacking a lot when compared to so many cities in modern times.

Anything else mentioned out of the above two is not an honest opinion.

horsepower102:
That’s not the main point. The main point is that they are still grossly underdeveloped when compared to other cities around the world. Why is that so? Is been over 50 years and they are not much better than they were in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

horsepower102:
No need to mention specific cities. They are abundant for you to verify for yourself. Just look at any city that wasn’t destroyed during the civil war and see if much progress has been made.

Then we can compare them to their mates in other parts of the world and you will realize the level of underdevelopment I am talking about.

horsepower102:
But ok But what's the excuse since 2000s? Its has been 22 years and yet when you compare a lot of Nigerian cities from the 90s, not much change has occurred. I travel around sometimes because of the nature of my hustle. I know what I am saying.

Who are you to eat from the same pot as Obasanjo, Akerodolu, Alaafin of Oyo, Adeleke and Co?

Hear this from me on behalf of the gods, You are destined to end up with a Yoruba woman

Say Amen

TheGoodJoe:

I have explained everything.

AndSunGorilla:
If GoodJoe already knows them then I suppose they are no longer hidden gems but discovered gems.

humility33:
Should we keep rohr I will want us to loose that play offs at least pinnick will be ease out with him come next year. Let the disaster this set of NFF wanna plug Nigeria into be complete

TheGoodJoe:

Is that not a funny question?

I am talking of people being paid millions to do things the appropriate way. Waiting for Europe to do everything for us is a joke.

We need to do more to keep unearthing talents.

Clint02:
They are still hidden,they are not yet in the limelight and has not been discovered.

Our poor league is affecting our National team,we now settle for players rejected by Oyibo countries

wetin full or league na waste pipes

TheGoodJoe:
Amokachi was 16 when Westerhof found him. Finidi made his debut as a home based players and went on to become one of the best players in the world.

The truth was that Westerhof was able to look and search.

The Gems are always there.

zuchyblink:
There is something about home based players. Did you know that the most successful national teams in the world features more home based players than foreign based? The number of home based players that have won international laurels out-numbers foreign based players. Successful national teams like Germany,Italy, Brazil and Egypt achieved greatness with more of home based players. Npfl should try and improve our league. Do you know why super falcons are no longer what they used be? Because they don't play at home again so there is no cohesion

TheGoodJoe:

It is impossible and illogical.

Some players are quality but lack the right technical guide and system to show themselves. Such kind of player will look poor if not given the right opportunity.

Some players just need a room to show their talent.

At the end, the search can't stop because hidden gems are always there.

TheGoodJoe:
Doesn't mean hidden gems have finished in the country. We need programs to keep developing at a high rate.

TheGoodJoe:
Read and get the point. Run a program to develop them. If they were ready, there would be no need for development. So not ready yet.

The point is continuous development to find gems. When Westerhof invited Amokachi, he was not ready. He was a 16 years old boy and turned a footballing tyrant in a few years from then.

When Oliseh first came to the National team, Stephen Keshi had to do a lot of schooling on him to meet up to play for the National team. He later turned a Super Eagles legend.

andrewbaba44:
And they have access to the French league and also have access to watch amoo at the Swedish league

drDoom3:
Dennis with 4 goals and 4 assists in 10 games in the EPL this season. Arguably our second best player in Europe this season behind Osimhen.

Awaziem, Omeruo and Iheanacho! Balogun and Collins almost got into a fight!

Shame on you for antagonising me when I started calling Rohr a poor coach way back in 2018
