Not that one needs to reply to a comment dripping with ignorance, but we can note the following:
Land size:
Anambra: 4841
Imo: 5530
Ebonyi: 5670
Abia: 6320
Enugu: 7161.
Delta: 17698
Edo: 17802
Oyo: 28454 (Oyo is quite large. The largest in the SW)
The total for the SE is 29522. All measurements in Kilometer squared. For the sake of facts, how is Oyo bigger than the whole SE put together?



you're an illiterate as you can see..

Are Delta and Edo part of SE?

cc12:
It's a lie ,it's 11 goals

14 goals in all competitions so far.

elyte89:
He won't b called up still ,if he likes let him score 40goals

He will be noticed by people that matters.

isan:
awoniyi with a brace tonight

Now 14 goals.

tbaba1234:
Yes he is.. He is one of the UK based boys

Hope the young boys do well.

tbaba1234:
Chinonso Emeka

This one is a small boy.

tbaba1234:
As an attacking player...

It is far easier for attack minded players to win individual award especially when they play for big teams.

Defensive players have to settle for team of the week, month or year, If they are lucky.. Many of those positions are reserved for players in the big teams.

Any defensive player that make FIFA FIFPro World11 is world class.

wayodude:
Never mind my comprehension, I think your logic is what's dodgy here. Should this arguement be about those called up for WCQ's or those called up for a tournament proper?

You Mr Forgiveness on this occasion cannot be forgiven.

Go back and read before coming here. I can't help you if you don't know the topic of debate. Thank you

andrew444:
Ajax is not a small club nah

Is midjyland a small club in denmark? NO

Midjyland is a lowly club.

andrew444:
Totti was one of the best in his time, he didnt won much trophy bro, as in seria A, champions league , not those individuals awards over there

Totti biggest moment and was the 2006 fifa world cup and nothing else, that its because he played for roma, if he left roma in his career he would have won more honours.

The point is, he won individual laurels. Chikena.

andrew444:
Brazil is not naija nah, even ivory coast ,senegal get top players pass us, so make we no argue that one bros

Hope you know someone was dropped at barcelona for someone in Ajax which is a lower league? that shows the coach watch the form of the player despite the league you play for, netherland league is so behind laliga but someone there was noticed .

Who?

So, Ajax is a small club?

tbaba1234:
That's the thing, there are many average players with trophies in their cabinets because they had great teammates. Ray Parlour was a part of Arsenal's great teams but he was an average player with great work ethic.

Winning a team trophy does not make you World Class.

Totti won very few trophies with Roma but he was a world class player.

Totti won individual awards.

Look at the list.

andrew444:
Hahahahaha

Maybe if you are brazillian lucas would have been your awoniyi or kayode

All the players that made the team are from top clubs. None of them is from Danish league.

andrew444:
@forgiveness

Lucas moura and Fabinho miss out of brazil copy america squad

I know if you are a Brazilian you will be fighting for Lucas Moura in their own brazil Nairaland.

I don't like Lucas.

tbaba1234:
Several world class players never won individual laurels.

Ndidi is among the best in Europe at the things he does.. Individual Laurels are usually awarded to attacking players.

Mention one.

Ndidi is not average and is yet to cross over to world class status.

World class status is reserved for players that have been recognised with an individual laurel in Europe.

As it stands, he is not but not far from it.

Humility017:
when you are pointing out flaws endeavour to make it balanced.

you sound as if the presence of Sane in Germany team in russia would
have save them from leaving in the first round.

France left out players the coach had no issues with as a person... he picked those
that match his team philosophy and kind of play and he ran with it... it worked
but the german coach i think left out Sane due to some personal issues he had with the Lad
and not because of the lad absence i wll say cost them the round of 16.

then that brings me to the BIG QUESTION....
who will you and forgiveness likened rohr to amongst the two national team coaches?
Does Rohr have any issue against awoniyi or the other mentioned players being omitted?

then if Rohr falls in the category of the france coach then let's act like the french and let him be
let's watch out may be the france miracle will play out.

what do you think bro?

This is Nigeria.

BascoVanVeli:
Knock it off. We are here to discuss football which takes us away from what you people are talking about. If you guys continue that would simply mean you don't care about this thread or the people who frequent it.

Alright sir!

Humility017:
only a child will believe that this government is different from the others when it comes
to stealing and corruption.

Since the day you were born till date, have you ever seen massive infrastructures executive with rapid speed?

Only thieves and rogues will want professional and greedy thieves and rogues.

Humility017:
buhari critics are miles ahead buhari supporters in reason and senses.

only the poor and delusional supported buhari enmass the last time
those in highbrow areas in lagos and abuja wanted an end of the directionless
administration..but peeps like you whom i think because the Vice-President is your tribal man
voted him.

Because no more free lunch to share. Poor!? Bhuhahahaha!

Yes! The poor wants to get back their food from those milking them dry.

What reason will one give to support thieves and rouges?

Give me one single genuine reason.

Baseless assumptions. Buhari critics come to mind.

Simy is actually an average player. He only does well in second divisions.

wayodude:
The argument was if Aluko, Ajagun and Kayode were qualified to be part of the World Cup squad right?

From your list above Only Simmy has played in a major tournament for Nigeria. And yes he was qualified to be there at the last world cup! He was playing week in week out in the Serie A for an unfancied team AND scoring goals!! I lived in Italy at the time and Simmy was more respected there than in Nigeria. Good or bad, this is the fact!


Aluko, Ajagun and Kayode were not qualified to be part of the Last WC squad and accordingly they weren't there.

Drop it playa

You seem to lack comprehension skills. Go back to the post and read slowly.

Danielnino00:
Forgiveness really has a way of turning this thread against one player.

He did it with Kayode before the world cup.

He did it with Aluko and Ajagun during the WCQ

What exactly is he is trying to achieve?

Danielnino00:
They were qualified.. but there were others before them!

Is it so difficult for u to understand that spots in the national team are limited ?
Is it so difficult to understand that every coaches have his preference of players?? I mean Didier Deschamps didn't take Lacazette and Martial to the world cup and nothing happened! Joachim Lowe dropped an in form Sane and nothing happened!

You are seriously brewing unnecessary troubles.. Even going as far as digging up posts from 3 years ago!
You better relax

Chisom Egbuchulam, Godwin Obaje, Sunday Odey, Ibrahim Alhassan, Sikiru Olatunbosun, Simeon Nwankwo, Lokosa, Nwaekeme, Chidiebere Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali etc were all before Sone Aluko, Abdul Ajagun and Kayode?

Hmmm! I see.

I can now understand how the coach picks their preferred players.

Bossoflife25:
Rohr invited Okereke to the SE during the under 23 camping. Why? He saw his quality.
He had the opportunity of seeing all of them first hand.
Onachu took his opportunity against Egypt. His goal, hold-up play and touches wooed the fans at the stadium to the extent that he was given a standing ovation when being substituted for Ighalo
Same as Oshimen!
Awoniyi did not do enough during the under 23 camping and at the match against Libya to merit a call up.
Please forgiveness, the list is out already and There is nothing anyone could do about it.
Let's move on.

Ps; I didn't bring up Awoniyi's issue in the first place. Someone did and I am only responding.

andrew444:
So if etebo joined a better club in the Epl he and he is playing well he should also give way just because you want your favorite player to replace him abi ?

Who is that favourite player?

So you don't understand 'if' abi?

wayodude:
No

But Chisom Egbuchulam, Godwin Obaje, Sunday Odey, Ibrahim Alhassan, Sikiru Olatunbosun, Simeon Nwankwo, Lokosa, Nwaekeme, Chidiebere Nwakali, Kelechi Nwakali etc were all qualified?

Danielnino00:

Were these players not qualified to make the team as at then?

chrisooblog:
hmmm from your post it seems you are really hurt. sometimes you have to learn to let things go.

have a good day

In your imagination I am hurt but in reality I am not.

List of players that must give way after the nations cup. That's if they don't live up to expectations.


1. Ezenwa
2. Akpeyi
3. Balogun
4. Ogu
5. Etebo
6. Mikel Obi (due to age)
7. Shehu Abdullahi



Iheanacho and Uzoho are still very young. They can be excused from the team for the time being until they pick up.

elyte89:
Wc future,all d debate we av been discussing here,wc one has actually change d reality

Meanwhile if not for Mikels inclusion, I was expecting rohr to give dt sia1 player a chance,I av forgotten his name sef and not awoniyi...to me awoniyi is very far from d list considering those ahead of him aside nacho

Your opinion.
