They would not want Rohr to drop Onyekuru either. Ask them which winger Rohr should drop between Kalu,Musa, Onyekuru and Simon
From the 5 wingers in that team Chukwueze is the least likely to make the AFCON
Good enough arrangements are already being made for him to join the Flying Eagles.

Someone wants Onyekuru dropped here.

charlesemeka85:
9ja hypers association i hail una. so chukwueze is now better than onyekuru and others.

Hehehehehehe! It is funny one will even drop Onyekuru from the team.

I don't see that coming.

chrisooblog:
hmmm tough call but who says anyone has to be dropped? rohr could easily go with ighalo, onuachu, osimhen/iheanacho, musa, simon, onyekuru, kalu, chukwueze (iwobi listed as a midfielder) that's 8 strikers good to go

Add 8 to the 3 goalkeepers and you will get 11. How do you pick the remaining 12 players?

zhike:
South Africa is worried because the bad decision that Nigeria made, they affects south africa directly.

Nigerians will be running to South Africa for opportunities.
Nigerians will be running to South Africa, because of hunger in Nigeria
Nigerians will be running to South Africa, because of war/insecurity in Nigeria
Nigeria will be running to South Africa asking for assistance.

Which assistant?

zhike:
I listed you companies, I thought by giving you company names you will be able to determines the sectors.
let me list the sectors for you, banking, media, tourism, retail, entertainment,communication.

South Africa is also dominating in west africa in the sectors I provided you above.

Multinational Company is a company that operates in more than one countries.

Ask more questions, am ready to respond you.

Is any South African bank in the top 5 in Nigeria and West Africa? Which bank is that?

What is the name of the South African company dominating the media?

DSTv is just a small fragment of entertainment which is a little fraction of mass media. It's doesn't tantamount to dominating the whole media not to talk of the entertainment.

Tourism industry? Bhuhahahaha! Explain yourself.

Entertainment comprises music, films, games, exhibition, mass media etcetera. No single South Africa company is involved in all these save little fraction of mass media.

If MTN leaves Nigeria, nobody will notice. Well, South African company has a say in the communication industry but does not dominate
.

Retail? Bhuhahahaha! Are you sure you know the meaning of retail?

eazyjakes:
Smiles....My names don’t matter but wat I saw in Niger....nah....I cud walk just d streets in Warri and pick a beta team!

Okay

chrisooblog:
there's a small window of him joining the U-20s the la liga season will finish days before the commencement of the world cup but i think he will be more useful with the U-23 dream team.

as for AFCON i will just trust rohr's judgment on if chukwueze should go. let's however take it easy with putting to much expectations on the lad remember this is his first full season of top flight league football

Ah! If that be the case, he should join the U-20 world cup team. The dream team has more players in that category.

Who should Rohr drop for him on the RW?

BascoVanVeli:
He can join the team after a couple games are played.

Just like Ahmed Musa did. That's okay.

Icon4s:
That is one thing they fail to understand. Even if they manage to squeeze him in he will spend most of the AFCON on the bench.

I have kukuma said my own about Chukwueze and the U20 WC and AFCON. The major challenge is if Villa Real can release him for the U20WC because the La liga season will be at the critical tail end when the WYC will be commencing.

Exactly! But I don't think he will be squeezed into the team. However, if there's still opportunity for him to prove himself in the camp, why not?

Him going to U-20 world cup is a mission impossible because I don't see Villarreal releasing him.

Anyway, let us see what happens at the end.

zhike:
Dear, am Nigerian who stayed in South Africa for years. and am back in Nigeria.
Firstly Nigeria has no proper electricity.
No clean drinking water for all the citizens,
No proper infrastructure like tar road.
Health sector in Nigeria is bad
No proper school infrastructure.
no proper sanitation in the cities and villages.
Buildings are decaying.
Poverty is high in Nigeria.
insecurity issues in Nigerila like bokoharam
Nigeria sometimes depends on international aids,

In South Africa there is govt grants for pensioners, disabled and child btw 0 and 18 yrs.

south african companies such as this are dominating Nigerian market: naspers, pep, shoprite, fnb , std bank, jet, wool worth, murray robert, mtn, baclays, absa, sun international, sanlam, allan gray, dstv, game,edgars,capitec, sasol many more

I will ask you again. In which sector is South Africa dominating Nigeria's market?

You claimed Nigeria don't have multinational companies. Can you please define multinational company?

You claimed South Africa is dominating West Africa? Can you please explain further?

Just take the warming seriously because any direct confrontation directed at me for no just reason could lead to aggressive retaliation. Be warned. Thanks in advance.

Humility017:
i know you will come defend the lazy ass coach....
can't he scout for players all the academies around the country ?
was it not his mate that discovered awoniyi, nancho and others....?
what is topping him from harnessing nigeria foreign born all over the world and scouting good nigeria academies
for talents.... you can't tell me he won't find reasonable lads and as well infuse the foreign born into the team

The coach is clueless that's it there were many qualified men that would have done the job better
peeps like ogunbote, maikaba, finidi etc....

Defend him for what?

This is U-20 team not U-17 team you have to start scouting from kindergarten academic teams. So, there should be decent players in a major league or second division that have acquired little experience enough to play at the the U-20 level which I don't know because I have not been monitoring players these days. That's the reason I asked him if he knows a better player so that we can start putting them into light here since we were told NFF officials are here

I would have come hard on you but I will forgive you today hoping you restrict your tribalistic views to yourself.

The next time you try this again you will hate yourself. I hope you understand.

eazyjakes:
Feel so sad seeing this...This Paul Aigboun is such a square peg in a round hole and one of the worst youth coach ever.There are multitude of great youth players in Nigeria and abroad within the age bracket that he could discover but mediocrity and sentiments was used in picking his team for the U-20 AFCON.That team despite qualifying for the U-20 World Cup is the worst Nigerian team I have seen play football and obviously meant he has no biz managing a youth team. If Amunike was sentimental,We won’t have Osimhen,Chukwueze,Nwakali,Michael,Orji and the rest of the talent pool elegible in this categories.Let the lazy ass coach go n discover new talents for us as he will NEVER win the U/20 World Cup with this his shitty team even he drafts Lionel Messi into his team.Chukwueze should only drop to the U-23 team if need be.The lad should be left outta this U-20 team.Paul Aigboun failed in his scouting and grooming of his team and he is looking for a quick remedy,let him go face his music at the World Cup and the world would see that he was never ahead of Finidi for this role he was handed!

Can you please drop names of good players that are eligible for the U-20 team?

Danielnino00:
Kalu Uche Kwa

Hahahaha! Mistake. Samuel Kalu, I mean.

andrew444:
Agreed with all what you said

But I want him to play at afcon sha ,but I don't trust rohr

It could be difficult to take him to AFCON. Kalu Samuel, Onyekuru, Simon Moses and Ahmed Musa will be hard to be dropped for him.

Taliban:
Chairman how do you see that boy Chukwueze? Let me hear your thoughts about him.

He still needs to perfect his dribbling in a pocket of space and try as much as possible not to lose possession.

I think he doesn't have that luxury of space to run at defenders in the la Liga as he did in the lower Liga. That's why whenever he is closed up he doesn't have idea on what to do next.

Anyway, there's room for improvement since he's still young but I don't want him to go down with Villarreal if they go down. He should move if a club comes calling.

Taliban:
Uncle is Taiye in the current setup, Yobo never retire? And yes Yobo could play as a 2 but he was converted to a CB and that's where played majorly at Everton and of course the Eagles. But that said Taiye Taiwo, Taribo, Yobo were great players no doubt. My comments were on the current set up.

Okay

andrew444:
Thats why laliga is the best league in the world

Such team like Villarreal will be top 10 in the epl table

Take a look at useless clubs like fulham huddersfield town? and someone is telling me top seria B club will not beat those team?

Yes! They will even win EPL.

Taliban:
Ehen who in the current set up can hold his own again st Eguavoen, Iroha, Ukechukwu and even Nwanu. In those days it was tough for African players to get into the biggest sides in Europe. Those were the days of max 3 foreign players including EU countries in a team.I know you will counter me. But that was a great side from defense to attack and even bench sef. No wonder we were ranked 5th in the world at some point.

Taye Taiwo could bench Iroha. The Yobo I know in Everton will bench Equavoen the kunfu master while Taribo will bench Nwanu comfortablely.

zhike:
Only dangote cement is there in South Africa, those banks that you are talking about are not there in South Africa.

You can go and remove them from there. Septraco is also there. Just say you are ignorant. That's all.

zhike:
hahaha, how can you say Nigeria control west Africa, you are funny.
In each and every sector Nigerian market is dominated by South African companies.
how do you control Ghana, does Ghana people use Naira. their currency is even better than yours.
Accra is better than Lagos.
Nigeria has no multinational corporates.
Be serious, nigeria is no where near controlling other countries, it must start by learning to control Nigeria first.
Also in all west african countries south african companies are dominating.
East Africa is already under south african rule.

In which sector is South Africa dominating Nigeria's market? Bhuhahahaha!

MTN is not even dominating in the telecommunications sector.

What is your definition of multinational company? Clown.

We don't just control West Africa, we defend it. I hope you understand what that means.

Accra is better than Lagos according to you but reverse is the case.

South Africa is not dominating anything in West Africa.

Or can you explain how South Africa is dominating West Africa?

Most of you South Africans are ignorant hence the jaggons.

PetroDollax:
Nonsense! Generator-powered Nigeria controls West African economy? The dumbest thing I ever heard from a Shitnigerian.

Dey cry dere.

zhike:
SA wanted to help Nigeria.

Mind you south africa is already controlling the economy of southern african countries which has the population of more than nigeria.

Nigeria also is controlling West Africa economy and has even moved to East Africa currently.

In what way can South Africa help Nigeria? Tell me.

grandstar:
The search for an excuse is always successful.

Just start! The constraints would force the government to act.

Many countries in the EU have huge handicaps that can just be as bad as the poor power supply that plagues the country.

In Germany for instance, power is very expensive. In France, the rigid labour market is a serious headache, making employing workers quite expensive and sacking them difficult.

Despite these challenges, Germany is not only the industrial giant in Europe and it's biggest economy but also it's largest exporter. Exports make up 50% of it's economy.

Why I chose the EU is that it is the largest single market in the world. Products from France or Germany will go to other member states duty free and the reverse as well

The funny thing is that the biggest challenge Nigerian companies face isn't poor power supply but very costly credit. Borrowing cost of 20% or more is a massive disincentive to investment.

Industrial parks with 24 hour electricity can be built. It isn't far-fetched. They are planning to make the Lagos Free Trade Zone have 24hour power.with similar arrangements.

You don't build house on sand.

zhike:
Which nigerian banks is in South Africa?. oil is not controlled by Nigeria, is controlled by opec countries. Nigerians do not have a say in oil sector. why do you think dstv, mtn and shoprite are nigerians companies?

Zenith Bank, First Bank, FCMB, Union Bank, Main one, Septraco, Dangote etc are operating in South Africa.

zhike:
surely they can do it, and Nigeria will not feel a pain, hence it is not exporting anything to other african countries.

Why worry about us? We give them our blessings.

zhike:
other people are too ignorant, why are you listing south african companies on your list. 5 of those companies you listed are south african. do not lie, only dangote cement is there in south africa, is the only nigerian company in southern african countries.

There are Nigerian banks and oil companies in South Africa and Southern African countries. You can take that to the bank.

Even in East Africa.

zhike:
As long as NIgerians still thinks that they are inferior to Chinese, Nigeria is not going anywhere. why are Nigerians afraid of Chinese like that. if china opens company in Ghana is fine, Chinese company will pay tariffs in Ghana and those tariffs they will cause chinese company products to be expensive compared to products from other African companies.

Let other African countries proceed with the free trade agreement. They can do it without Nigeria.

zhike:
of course south africa is a big brother to all african states, it runs all subsahara african countries. if you are in nigeria just look outside am sure you will see south african brand.

It seems you are ignorant. There are many Nigerian companies in all over Africa, Europe and Asia.

Even in your country. South Africa can never be a big brother to a bigger brother Nigeria.

grandstar:
Do you realise the Chinese are already playing a significant role in manufacturing sector. Their factories are all over Ogun state. It is reported that one of their foundries exported 200,000tons of steel.

The Chinese will set up factories. What did I say wrong?

Also, concerning what I said about industrial parks, the power sector can be liberalised further to allow what I said.

It's not far fetched. Fashola when governor signed a PPA with a company to supply Iju waterworks exclusively with power. It's nothing new.

State does not have power to sell energy. I don't know how you missed that.


Most companies are relocating to Ghana or opening in Ghana because of epilepsy power supply here and constant power supply there.

Those Chinese companies set up here because their target is the NIGERIAN market hence can't operate outside Nigeria due to trade restrictions. Think

Once the free trade agreement is signed, it's very easy for them to close their business here and open outside NIGERIA if power supply is not resolved.

The point is, power supply should be resolved first before we start talking about free trade agreement.

grandstar:
Trump sadly is a protectionist and is doing damage to the American economy. Economic growth last year was 2.9% instead of the 3% + expected and the prime culprit was Trump's trade war. Nigeria should not follow that route.

The truth is free trade will force the country to sit up. There's no choice.

Also, there are areas the country has comparative advantage despite poor infrastructure. Nigerian manufactured goods are found throughout West and Central Africa. Rumour has it up to Zimbabwe. That shows things are not as despondent as they seem.

Daily, buyers from West Africa besiege the markets in Lagos Island and leave with lorry loads of goods. Same with agricultural products. They besiege the Northern states leaving with trailers loads of foodstuff.

To say the country lacks comparative advantage in some areas is therefore not entirely true.

Also,a Free Trade Agreement may encourage the setting up of industrial parks with dedicated power 24houra a day and other amenities. Companies based in these parks will therefore have a competitive edge.

Smart states or even investors can set such induatrial parks in their states. The more the better.

The biggest benefit will be that Niàgerian companies are forced to be competitive and focus on areas they have comparative advantage,. At the end if the day, it will encourage an export push outside African shores which is desperately needed. Only, when Nigeria does that, can it bring about the needed transformation from third world to first world.

Also, it will compel government to target the most expensive expense or cost which is that if credit. Credit is unnecessarily high considering fiscal deficits rarely go beyond 2% of GDP. Lending rates and inflation have always been in double digits.

The high cost of credit has scared off investments in the manufacturing sector and in the real sectors altogether. It has also led to low productivity. which makes manufacturers uncompetitive.

I can see Nigeria doing well in textile garments for instance. It can import cheap textile fabrics from other African countries and turn them into garments. These garments will not only be exported to other African countries but outside African shores as well Nigeria with it's 200m people will have an edge in labour intensive factories like these

And if the country is making headway in garments, they will be compelled to set up fabric plants in order to achieve quick turnarounds to meet targets set by their buyers based in Europe and America.

I foresee Chinese manufacturers setting up shop enmasse here and creating lots of jobs now that wages have shot through the roof in China and the easiest way for their manufacturers to remain competitive is to set up factories in low wage countries like Nigeria. Factory Asia on our doorsteps.

Let us think critically.

Where do you think Chinese companies will set up?

In a country that guarantees 24/7 power supply or with a country that experiences only 2 - 4 power supply in a day? Think

You said states should create industrial estate with 24/7 power supply. Are the state constitutionally empowered to generate and sell energy? Think

magicminister:
What school is that bro?
That would be really great news if true... Skill transfer is not something you really learn in school. Its something that happens on the job where you watch the more experienced people do it and then try to replicate it under their supervision until you're able to comfortably do it yourself.
An individual going to such school would be wasting their time and money.

Most of those learning it in their school are their employees working on various projects.

In short, the idea was to train Nigerians to meet up with their company's demand.
