The coach enquired about Midhat but i don't think he was invited. Maybe he still will. The coach is aware of him.

Okay. What about Beyreuther?

tbaba1234:
Hamdi is not Nnamdi.. It is Hamdi, It means thanks in Arabic.. He is not new to the team.

I talked about some German boys, Aigbogun has been talking to earlier. Ekene is one of them.

Midhat Bajric? Deji Beyreuther?

Danielnino00:
the reason given was that he didn't measure up to mates in camp... You were probably the only one in the world that thought otherwise.
Or perhaps u thought that because he plays for Go ahead eagles and is heading to Ajax,he is better than the other boys in camp??

No! It's only the Nigerian officials and the gullible ones that wants to make the world believe he's not good enough.

I mean the world chasing after him are clueless.

Danielnino00:
Y did u suddenly change your tune??

I am not against him been dropped from the team but I can't accept their reason for dropping him. That's all

If that list is true, why did the coach omitt Peter Olayinka who is currently playing in the quarter finals of the Europa League?

There are many players on that list that are not better than him this season.

Well, what is my own?

Make I just dey study their body language though I have a clue but I will not spilt the milk.

iSlayer2:

Hahahaha! Sorry oooo. Ajax deserved the victory.

tbaba1234:
A lot of backstage drama but i think he will play for 9ja. His dad deserves the credit.

Good papa. Let him pray we qualify for the world cup and after that he should come fight for shirt.

He must have developed his game with Ajax and grown a little.

edi287:
Lateef has changed his mind. Posted a pic with naija tracksuit on. Well done to Tbaba123 for speaking to him.

He had better change his mind.

I think if he joins Ajax his game will improve.

I read it is a provisional list don't know how true it is

I saw the list but it is too early to start dropping list.

Juva don chop am. It's a goal.

Ajax dey play ball ooooo.

How can Rohr release list when season is still on?

darkelf:
Sorry, I beg to disagree.

He has managed just 3 appearances this season. How would he not have regressed?

Not three only one. If he has regressed how did he become the second choice goalkeeper?

andrew444:
Yeah

Today na him bday

Oh! I see.

darkelf:
That is our worry about him

It has stunted his game.

I just noticed that Alampasu played in January for 90 minutes in the Portuguese first division and he is currently the second choice goalkeeper.

Well, I don't think he has regressed.

Oil that is being pumped from delta

Really!?

Oil Producing States in Nigeria Presently (2019): Full List

Nigeria produces about 2.5 million barrels of crude oil daily making it the largest producer of oil in Africa and 6th largest producer in the world.

Interestingly, this high valued and volume of crude oil is produced from just 7.5% of the total area. This small part of the country that produces this is known as the Niger Delta Region and the states that comprises it alongside other states where this oil is found are known as the oil producing States in Nigeria.

Currently, we have only 8 crude oil producing States in Nigeria that could be said to be really harnessing their crude oil potentials. These States includes Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Ondo, Edo, Imo and Abia.

Out of these 8 producers, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa accounts for 80% of the crude oil produced. This article will discuss the contribution of each state and other interesting things about the states.

VISTIN:
The problem in Nigeria is that we do things out of jealousy in order to prove that we belong.

The fact that oil is in Niger Delta and some parts of the East doesn't mean there will be oil everywhere.

There many natural resources in different parts of the country that can still help our economic growth, but every region wants to own oil by force.

Honestly, the way they were hyping the Lagos oil discovery, I was thinking by now Lagos would be producing 5m barrels per day.

Meanwhile, the search is still ongoing in the North.

No single state in Niger Delta produces 5m barrels per day.

Besides, Oil is not only found in the Niger Delta or Eastern areas.Ondo, Kogi and Lagos are officially Oil producing states. Ogun state will follow in no distant future though other states in the North have oil but I am sure of Ogun state.

For those who thinks players in Europe gets everything on a platter of gold.

Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne says he only spoke to former manager Jose Mourinho twice during his time at Chelsea.

De Bruyne, now at Manchester City, made only three Premier League appearances in two years at Chelsea, spending a season on loan at Werder Bremen.

He left for Wolfsburg in January 2014 before moving to City in 2015.

"There was so much in the press about my relationship with Jose Mourinho," De Bruyne, 27, told the Players' Tribune.

"But the truth is that I only ever spoke to him twice. The plan was always for me to go on loan for a bit."

De Bruyne scored 10 goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances for Werder Bremen before returning to Stamford Bridge, when the then Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp - now in charge of City's title rivals Liverpool - wanted to sign him.

De Bruyne said: "Mourinho texted me, 'You are staying. I want you to be part of this team'.

"So I thought, OK, great. I'm in his plans."

'I'd rather you sell me' - on leaving Chelsea

De Bruyne started two of the first four league games of the 2013-14 season, but soon fell out of favour with Mourinho and was dropped to the bench.

"Jose called me into his office in December, and it was probably the second big life-changing moment for me. He had some papers in front of him, and he said, 'One assist. Zero goals.
Ten recoveries'," De Bruyne said.

"It took me a minute to understand what he was doing. Then he started reading the stats of the other attacking forwards - Willian, Oscar, Mata, Schürrle. And it's like - five goals, 10 assists, whatever.

"Jose was just kind of waiting for me to say something, and finally I said, 'But… some of these guys have played 15, 20 games. I've only played three. So it's going to be different, no?'

"It was so strange. I was completely honest. I said, 'I feel like the club doesn't really want me here. I want to play football. I'd rather you sell me.'"
The following month, De Bruyne joined Wolfsburg for £18m.

He scored 13 goals in 51 league appearances before becoming City's record signing in 2015 when he agreed a £55m, six-year deal.

'You threw me in the garbage' - on making a point

De Bruyne said his first "life-changing moment" came as a teenager.

As a 14-year-old, he joined Genk's academy, moving away from his family across Belgium.
In his second year at the academy, he lived with a foster family, provided by the club, but after a season they said they did not want him back.

"It's because of who you are," De Bruyne's mother told him. "They said you're too quiet. They can't interact with you. They said you were difficult."

De Bruyne said: "I kicked the ball against the fence for hours, and I remember at some point I actually said out loud, 'Everything is going to be OK. In two months, I'm going to be in the first team. No matter what, I am not coming back home a failure.'"

The following season, he was promoted to Genk's second team, for whom he scored five goals in one half of a game.

"You could see the change in everybody around the club. I earned a spot on the first team within two months," De Bruyne said.

"It's funny to see the change in how people treat you in football when you're doing well."

His foster family turned up at the club saying they wanted him back.

"They had really hurt me. So I said, 'No. You threw me in the garbage. Now I'm doing well and you want me back?'" De Bruyne said.

"In the end, I should have just said 'thank you'. That experience was the fuel for my career. But, unfortunately, that cloud still followed me around for a long time."

TheGoodJoe:
Football education in the country is rot due to the poor structure of the grassroot. Even a big man's child will not get Ajax academy education in Nigeria.

So no beef if a big man's kid is outstanding in camp. He is going to get better education and exposure.

However, I am against giving a scholarship to a big man's child whose father can pay 800,000 naira a term without flinching. Give the scholarship to a child that really needs it.

Finito.

I ask you a simple question that demand yes or no answer. Should he be dropped? Yes or No.

TruthinAction:
Where was Obama born?

Honolulu.

TheGoodJoe:
Development of grassroot players. That is the point. After all you wrote, you have no justification why giving away the little opportunity grassroot players have is a solution for their development.

Finito.

What should we do to a rich man pikin born and bred in Nigeria if he's better than his peers in camp?

Should we drop him because he is a rich man pikin?

Danielnino00:
U are looking for something that's not missing...

I lie?

Afamed:
Kindly ignore the lazy youth, make them dey showcase their ignorance for public. One of the brain dead PDP supporters had early claimed Obama was born in Kenya and he was elected as US president.

Hehehe! There was this question about Obama born in Kenya but his US birth certificate put the whole matter to rest.

TruthinAction:
I think is a breach of their fundamental human right. If you are eligible to vote, then you can also be voted for. That part of the constitution should be harmonized with other part. In my opinion, anyone whose parents are Nigerians are also Nigerians by birth irrespective of where he was born.

For instance, a woman who is pregnant travels to Ghana and met her labour there, you will now say his child cannot context because he is not born in Nigeria. It's stupidity of the highest order.

Well, the same law exist in America. You can't become the President of America if you are born outside any territory under America's sovereignty.

Omeruo starts.

TheGoodJoe:
It is not discrimination if we are using the opportunity to better the lives of kids that have none.

Using Nwakali as a point is actually flimsy because his life was changed by the U17 opportunity. No one is saying they will be World beaters but getting opportunities they never had.

A chance for education, exposure and Orientation.

You still look at them as different. If you look at all as brothers, where one has and the other does not, you will definitely allow the one with nothing to have a little. If not then the person denying the one with nothing has no conscience.

As for telling the foreign borns they can not play. If explained that it is used to give opportunities to those that do not have, they will understand.

Finito.

What made those foreign born parents to run away from Nigeria?

On Omidiji:

” You can ask from those who watched our friendly games, he was so much off the pace, no where near the players who made the list. At a time other players were beginning to question why coach Manu Garba ‎didn’t drop him weeks after he resumed training.

” He should be grateful that he was allowed to train with the team until the final squad was named. From the U15 team where he failed to get games, Divine Nwachukwu who was top scorer for the team made the list. Will it be fair to drop Divine for him? You need to see how well Divine acquitted himself “, 

This is from a backroom staff according to OGN. It matches with what i heard. Everyone can't be wrong.

Lol at the bolded. What else do you expect a backroom staff to say?

He claimed he failed to get games but he didn't tell us the same Divine failed to get games for selfish reasons

Why didn't he tell us what happened after they both eventually played?
