BascoVanVeli:
Seriously? He was talking about something that happened when he was like 14 yrs old

I don hear una. Remember, he was not even in Arsenal U23 team as at the time he was called to the SE. He was in the U19 academy then.

maidaboi:
now consider the number we have dumb then compare the number to england let see

Like those England abandoned then I will list the ones we abandoned.

maidaboi:
na lie he still has alot do to be consider a long international
career

After 4 years consistency and 31 games with lions?

Danielnino00:
Tell them.jare...
I don't know why some people want us to be giving preferential treatment to these foreign born players...
Rather than focusing on foreign born players,let the NFF focus more time and resource in developing our own home grown talents...

It's not preferential treatment. If any Nigerian player deserves a call, he should be call. Gaskiyani!

Joebie:
You mean the way we used and dumped Aluko And other dual-nationals

I’ve said it before. The mindset that focuses on whether the player will win or lose eventually is a faulty one. We should be focusing on how we can harness our best talents. They have every right to make their choices. But the real question is what is in it for Nigeria? It’s simple just do the right thing. We should be ahead of the other country in spotting a talent and showing that we are serious.

Exactly!

Icon79:
Actually, it's not. Can you name one Nigerian born player who had a long career with the 3 Lions? They would you get country tied with an inconsequential game and then dump you like a hot eba. Yet those guys cannot learn from history.


O pari

Dele Ali.

Danielnino00:
I disagree..Iwobi was doing well with arsenal youth team and would have been promoted to the first team even without a SE invite.. Arsenal under Wenger had a reputation for promoting outstanding players from.their academy to the main team .

Many Arsenal academy players were promoted to the first team but not all were given the chance. Akpom was already playing some games for Arsenal first team before Iwobi but he's nowhere now.

haffaze777:
Can u compare the popularity in Ogun state to than of Amosun in 2010/2011

What did his popularity win him in ANPP? Nothing

Mrblaster:
Even during yaradua Era, ogd was the one that was reelected. Do you even listen to yourself? Whatever you're smoking ain't good for your health.

Because ogd performed in his first tenure but after he failed in the second tenure, Ogun state and other SW states wanted PDP out. And that made ACN an attractive bridge. Fact

Mrblaster:
Let's wait and see but dapo won't smell that seat. Take my word for it. Let abuja do what they like, once an owu man made up his mind you can't change it. You think amosun is afraid what abuja thinks abi. You don't even know what you're saying.

I know Owu na agidi man but from history Iperu man na oga in agidi too but in a diplomatic way.

Amosun eyes go clear. He will become another onobamiro, jakande and etc who betrayed Awolowo. His family will suffer it. Take that to the bank.

Mrblaster:
obj was in power from 1999-2017,now tell me how ACN won under his nose unless you're talking from emotions. ACN only won in 2011 in ogun so where did you get your facts. Don't piss me off with your nonsense.

ACN won in Lagos under his watchful eyes and we know OBJ was still in charge during Yarada's era.

Mrblaster:
Hahahaha. Let's see is you're right or not. I'm sure you're from ijebu and you want dapo to win abi. Just relax, watch how things pan out. If obj is inconsequential as you said, why is everyone coming to abeokuta to ask for his advise. You will be disappointed bro. Even dapo won't dare not to visit him for some advise. You don't know what you're saying. Lado, your fellow ijebu man, now come to obj house almost every day.

Well, I am Owu who migrated to Ijebu and. Even my other side na Yewa. So anything goes.

OBJ is a toothless dog. Nobody listed to OBJ in Yorubaland after what he did at the center. Even Tinubu is more powerful than him.

Mrblaster:
I'm sure APC won't be stupid enough to push amosun aside. They know how people love him here and they can't let amosun use that against them. People don't listen to tinubu here, they listen to amosun.

If Amosun misbehave, that his the end of his political career at the center. He is already seen as a betrayal by majority of Yorubas. Let see what is up his sleeves.

Mrblaster:
The answer is simple, the election was rigged thanks to obj. Now that obj is on amosun side, let's see what APC will come up with next year.

Is OBJ in power now?

Even when OBJ was in power, ACN under Tinubu won elections right in his nose. Is it now that he is inconsequential, he will win election?

Mrblaster:
Abuja won't come to campaign for him and even if they do, they don't know how elections run in ogun state. Obj will show buhari's how he's been doing it. APC is still stupid thinking they can win ogun without amosun and obj.

OBJ is inconsequential in Yoruba land not to talk of Ogun state.

haffaze777:
Bold is not correct,Amosun make ACN popular in Ogun state,Amosun would have won without ACN then

ACN was already popular in SW because Lagos ACN was progressives.

Mrblaster:
Where are you getting these jargons from? Amosun has been relevant since 2017 which tinubu himself knew back then. Tinubu's acn lost in 2017 to amosun so what are you saying. Have you forgotten dipo dina came distant third in 2017 under acn. After the demise of dipo dina, tinubu knew the best way to win ogun is to lure amosun to acn knowing that he has already garnered love from the masses. Amosun is a rock bro and unless APC negotiate with him in his favor, I don't see dapo winning this election. Mark my word

2017? Why didn't Amosun win election under ANPP?

comodo:
Chuks Aneke again. That dude ain't improving bro. After he was released by Arsenal his S-curve just dey point downwards. 11games already, he was only in 3. Him get injury??. For crying out loud. This is Nigeria super eagles. Call this player, call that player. We need players who are ready to bleed on the field not ones wey want use us as catalyst.

Which dude is not improving?

If not for injury that stopped him from progressing in the Belgium pro league he would have gone far by now.

He walked straight into the first team and was impressive in his first season in Belgium pro league despite the fact he came up from league one for that matter. He was just 19 years old then. I brought his attention to this place and clamoured for his invitation to the dream team but Samson get em boys, so fell on deaf ears.

He was there for one and the half season before long injury set in.

Look at the injury profile. From 1 Dec 2015 to Nov 2016. That was one full year injury.

edi287:
That's not true. Wenger rated him. He stopped him from going on loan the season he broke out.

It's true. Even Iwobi said Arsenal doubted his ability and wanted to release him not just once. The SE call was a game changer.

Wenger said this after he played for Nigeria in two friendlies and after he saw that he performed well for us. It was during that period Arsenal made him signed a contract.

SE call was the game changer.

BascoVanVeli:
Wenger publicly said he rather Iwobi play for England even before he played against Egypt

That was not Iwobi's first invitation to the SE.

Joebie:
You are repeating yourself. I’ve already responded to this.

I know.

Joebie:
You never know how his development would have panned out elsewhere assuming his arsenal contract won’t have been extended.
Isn’t Iwobi better of under Emery? He probably would have done better under another manager (not Wenger). How do you attribute his improvement to SE?

Wenger's body language then showed he was never counted among the numbers in Arsenal.

Iwobi's invitation to the national team and his performance for the SE made Wenger changed his mind to renew his contract. Let us tell ourselves the truth. I followed Iwobi that period.

andrew444:
So Na super eagles make am dey play well for Arsenal ?

Local mentality

Without SE, he would never make Arsenal's bench.

BascoVanVeli:
So Henry and Samuel were on wetin? Rohr had him training with the team as a nobody but all of sudden he catches small form and you are saying Rohr talk to him. If he doesn't want to wait then I could care less about him

Nobi small form. He is really progressing.

Joebie:
I disagree. We probably won’t have even gone to the World Cup without Iwobi’s input.

Is it SE that has actually helped Iwobi this season?

Let’s stop thinking that we are helping these players but rather focus on how we can harness them. The relationship is a mutual one after all.

Iwobi was an academy player before he played for the SE. It was after he played for us Arsenal decided to renew his contract. Even Wenger confirmed he never thought Iwobi will make it.

I repeat, without SE nobody go hear am.

edi287:
SMH is anyone surprised by Ebere Eze's U20 invite?? It was coming.
There was absolutely no reason for Rohr not to invite him like he invited the Nwakali brothers...even if it's to train with the team and be on the bench.
People will say it's just U20, but if this guy moves to the epl - he's a 100 gone.
Southgate is a guy that likes taking risks with youth. If Ebere Eze performs for the U20 - then he's a 100 on his radar.
Well done Rohr. Your DM fetish better make us qualify and perform well at AFCON or e go be for you.

I agree without any reservation.

andrew444:
Iwobi should be in 3 liions team by now if he didnt play for nigeria.

Double standard. He will be nowhere without SE.

komekn:
That's not true.

To expand the matter further I bought land in Anambra and I haven't paid one penny mire beyond all the money used to get Cof O.

But I have paid deve in Warri my area.

Well, customary law states that all people in a community are subjects to its ruler. Lagos state collects land use charges and taxes and from it pay monthly allowance to all rulers in the state. Same goes to other states.

komekn:
I know well Wella Ovie will play for Nigeria.

But our NFF are playing the usual games.

Funny though I actually rate Tega Onomah higher than Ovie.

Tega na oga. The boy is good.

Joebie:
No be this season? Don’t forget we are loaded in the wings. I won’t blame Rohr for that.

This season. He was already scoring goals before Rohr invited last month.

dyydxx:
it's TVC that has bad journalistic practices jare. spreding fake news. They didnt confirm the initial news. I check everywhere only them were spreading it

Very poor. NWC just denounced it.
