andrew444:
If a player is not average then he his below average or world class

is Kayode world class?

You have not answered my question.

comodo:
Past tense. Started playing ( check)
Present Tense (injured) check
Confirmation. Using crutches. Not playing at d moment.
Matter closed.

Just look up.

andrew444:
But bros kayode is injured nah? haba

why not allow him return first?

He is now fit.

andrew444:
Kayode is good ... But sorry bro he is an average player just as others super eagles players okay.

Yes i agree Kayode is better than simy....But kayode remain an average player

Define average player first?

kellycute:
who is the best? Alampasu? Lol. Kalewali

I don't think Alampasu is the best.

charlesemeka85:
bros forgiveness kayode na your cousin? make the guy start playing for shakthar first before he will be considered for a recall. abi make we recall am because of his past exploits? nawaooooo

He has already started playing and has scored 3 goals with one assist in 8 matches before he got injured.

charlesemeka85:
bros forgiveness kayode na your cousin? make the guy start playing for shakthar first before he will be considered for a recall. abi make we recall am because of his past exploits? nawaooooo

He said 'based on what we HAVE.' That is continuous tense hence not true.

Injury or not, play or not, Kayode should be considered as a bonafide certified Nigerian player.

You said past exploits, right? What did Simmy or most those of players who only played 2 or 3 games this season do before they were called? Nada

So, why raise the bar for Kayode?

charlesemeka85:
yea the boy have really improved and similar to liverpool's gomez. learnt he is interested to dump england for 9ja.


players that i would love to be replaced in the super eagles are:
john ogu- hapoel beer sheva
ogenyi onazi-trapzonspor
brian idowu-locomotive moscow
kenneth omeruo -leganes
odion ighalo-changchun yatai
joel obi-chievo verona

players to replace them:
phillip billing anyanwu- huddlesfield
james igbekeme- real zaragoza
timori fikayo- derby county
kevin akpoguma- hoffenheim(he is not rated by the germans so i believe with time we will get him)
success- watford
ejaria- glasgow ranger

I disagree Onazi and Omeruo should be replaced neither do I agree James and Fikayo should be given a look.

soetanoreoluwa:
Kayode and success are not having regularly playing time..let them have it first before clamouring for them...

Since joining Sharktar Doneskt, Kayode has already contributed 4 goals (3 goals and 1 assist) in 8 matches before he got injured.

It's not about lack of ability not to get game time but due to injury.

Joebie:
My position is clear. Based on what we have in Europe, our CFs are average at best. I’ve never complained about Ighalo being called up. That doesn’t mean I think he would deliver.

Is Simy Nwankwo what we have in Europe? Abeg do your research well.

As far as I am concern, Kayode is ahead of him and I don't think Kayode is average based on his goal return 13, 17 and 24 goals every season.

A player who was always among the top 3 highest goalscorers in all the leagues he was played as a CF and even became highest goalscorer and overall best league player should not be counted among average players.

Since joining Sharktar Doneskt, he has contributed to 4 goals (3 goals and 1 assist) in 8 matches already before injury set in. How can you say he is average?

Unlimited22:
I am just kinda sad for Afelokhai. He's going the way of Chijioke Ejiogu and Dele Aiyenugba all those years ago.
Besides, Uzoho himself is still young. It won't hurt to have years of experience beside him.

The system is filled with mediocre. The best will be allowed to fizzle out.

My sense of judgement tells me even Uzoho is not the best. I will agree when others are given the chance to prove themselves.

Imagine Ezemwa in the national team ahead of better goalkeepers. Asi bo kwa!

dreamwords:
anioma is not a tribe, weather its an acronym to you or not it remains igbo world, anioma means goodland ask delta igbos the meaning of anioma , oshimili means sea or river in igbo ,, anioma people are Western Igbo more or less extension of onitsha part of igbo land separated by the river

ani means land in igbo language
anioma --good land
aniocha---whiteland
enuani---upland
ukwuani--lowland

Dennis Chukude Osadebay is a delta man
Just look at the Delta State ethnic map.

And look at the core Delta Igbo areas: Ika, Aniocha, and Ukwuani

Bini Influenced people: Urhobo and Isoko

Yoruba influenced people: Itsekiri

& finally the Ijaw who are mostly confined to Bayelsa, but are found in some numbers in small areas of Rivers and Delta State.
use your sense dont let sentiment kill you

Well, you have agreed on the bolded and that's all to confirm my point.

Whether it's totally an Igbo world or not, it's left for dem to decide. No need to continue.

safarigirl:
lol....i didn't even notice he misspelt the name.

Forgiveness, let Asaba people not catch you calling Osadebe an Edo man. A renowned musician of Igbo extract is who you want to dash to Edo people? Even with the coinage of Anioma, that term means "Good land" in Delta Igbo. Please, don't come and post guess work as facts o, some of us are closer than you think

He is known as Dennis Osadebay.

cc12:
Dennis Osadebay was not an Edo man,he was from Asaba, Delta state

You are right but as at the time he coined that name he was referred to as Edo, Bendel or Midwestern.

Phew!

chrisooblog:
my attitude 2 issues of tribal identity is to respect the opinions of peoples from the said community. If they call themselves whatever name even though their language and culture says otherwise who am I to disagree. Australians even though we know their ancestors were originally from britain we don't say they're british but australians same way americans or canadians even though most of their people originally came from england. Even though some communities in Edo state speak and bear yoruba names we can't insist they are yorubas if they choose not to identify themselves as such. Like you I have met friends and colleagues from kwale, ika areas who insist they are not Igbo. I know a lot of ikwerres also do that as well

You have just said it all. Respect the opinion of others. That's all.

ChrisKels:
But all the names from which the so called acronym was coined from are Igbo words. That means the villages that make it up are Igbo villages. Lol u just shot urself in the foot. Nothing like anioma tribe, thats good. That now supports the claim that they are Igbos as the villages brought together to form the sold called anioma are Igbo villages with igbo names abi u how u wan take explain how the villages got there igbo names(Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili)?

I didn't care reading anymore because ur contradicting urself.

I don hear.

rabzy:
Enough please.... Enough. Let's leave history and politics because it would leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth

Na true talk you talk so. So EOD.

dreamwords:
u are not making sense, anioma are name given to igbo speaking tribes of delta state, anybody can claim that his grand father originated from anywhere, thats his own cup of tea. what we know is anioma is igbo speaking part of delta state, just like we have igbo speaking people of south east
ani means land igbo
anioma --good land
aniocha---whiteland
anuani---upland
ukwuani--lowland

also,, ikwerre people are one of other igbo speaking groups of rivers state,,

you gave example of Nduka Ugbade.. or whatever you call it,,,my causines name is funke and she is igbo,she answers yoruba name too because her mum is from yoruba

It is an acronym derived from the four original local government areas that make up Anioma, i.e., (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika and (O) for Oshimili, M and A being common denominators found in the original four local government areas. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay, in 1951 and has remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves.

Learn please. Chief Dennis Osadebay ( Edo man) coined the name ANIOMA from the original four local government.

Their was nothing like Anioma tribe before 1951 neither has Delta state ever being part of Igbo land nor Eastern Region. It was either under the Western region and later Benin but all that is inconsequential if they decide to tilt towards any tribe or region.

komekn:
I am sorry to use the term Ignorance but it's something I come across quite often.

Some people have such limited life experience and parochial view of Nigeria that they think Uhrobo, Ijaw, Ikwrre, Ogoni, etc are Ibo.

The Anioma people of Delta may be related to the Igbo but do not consider themselves as Igbo, I mean the Ika, Kwale, people to mention just a few.

First of all, a nation is a nation if he call itself a nation.

Therefore, if any tribe call themselves whatever in a larger proportion, so they are, though we can have at the back of our mind their true origin for academic purposes only.


This brings me to agree with you after many encounters with ikwerre, kwale and ika that they are not Igbo because they wish not to be called so but rather see themselves as Ikwerre nation, kwale nation, Igala nation Edo nation etc. I don't know about Ogoni.

That can also be said of Itshekiri who don't see themselves as Yoruba but as Itshekiri nation though their monarch and political leaders have associated and formed a coalition with the Afenifere and other Yoruba whatever.

Let me also draw your attention to Anioma people of Delta state. It is not a tribe, it's a composition of different Tribes coming under one umbrella Anioma.

Some Benin, some Igbo, some Isoko, some Igala and to your amazement Yoruba made the composition that formed Anioma for political reasons. Yes! Yoruba. This group is called Olukumi people. They are located in the Aniocha North local government and belongs to the Odiani clan which occupies 8 communities in Aniomaland. But have adopted Igbo culture in terms of kingship, names, etcetera except its Olukumi language.

Someone like Nduka Ugbade is an Olukumi indigen though he bares Igbo name.

However, how they see themselves now matters.

What people are not understanding is Ambode will make APC lose Lagos if he continues as governor for another 4 years.

As it stands, under his leadership, Lagos state is so disorganized and dirty.

People suffer to get BRT buses to their destinations on time in the morning and in the evening. You are made to wait for 2- 4 hrs standing unnecessarily.

He has abandoned the monorail project for his own projects.

In short, he abandoned his predecessors projects for his own projects.


If he's not checked APC will lose Lagos. This is what those who are against him know quite well.

SlayerForever:
So in essence you want me to argue that people from the East are not diabolic. You want me,as a way to responding to your insult,to substantively prove beyond doubl to you that the Easterners are not fetish? Really? Here and now?

Please Sir,in the best of our football conversation here,I advice you keep the reservations you have about the Easterners close to your chest. Thanks.

Is Echiejile from the East? I thought he is from Edo?

Nigeria's Most Valuable Players: Iwobi More Expensive Than Moses, Ndidi Still The Top Man

Nigeria's Most Valuable Players: Iwobi More Expensive Than Moses, Ndidi Still The Top Man
Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi has overtaken Victor Moses as the second most valuable Nigerian player, according to the updated transfer values published by CIES Observatory.

The Hale End Academy product is now valued at €38.3, an increase of €4 million in the last three months.

Last month, Iwobi penned a new long-term deal that will keep him at the Gunners until the end of the 2021-2022 season.

It is thought his value increased after representing Nigeria at the World Cup and his brilliant start to the season after contributing to two goals in his first two matches in the Premier League.

Chelsea striker Victor Moses has seen his stock dwindle following his lack of first team opportunities in the new season.

In November 2017, the former Nigeria international, who is contracted to Chelsea until June 2021, was valued at €45.1 but is now worth €30.4 million.

Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi remains Nigeria's most valuable player at €62.3 million but was worth €68.3 the month the 2018 World Cup ended.

The 21-year-old central midfielder is contracted to the Foxes until June 2024.

Chelsea Loanee Ola Aina Undergoes Individual Training Pre-Udinese

Chelsea Loanee Ola Aina Undergoes Individual Training Pre-Udinese
Torino have continued their preparations for Sunday's Serie A clash with William Troost-Ekong's Udinese at Dacia Arena, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Maroons' Thursday workout was focused on a technical-tactical training session, and Nigeria international Ola Aina did not participate in full training.

The Chelsea loanee underwent an individual session along with fellow defenders Cristian Ansaldi and Lyanco and is doubtful for the trip to Udine.

Aina has been unable to train fully after suffering a muscle injury in the 1-0 win vs SPAL just before the international break, an injury that led to his substitution in the 87th minute and made him pull out of the Nigeria squad for their recent games.

The versatile right back has featured in all the matches played by Torino in the Italian topflight since joining the club.

Torino's training on Friday will be held behind closed doors at Stadio Filadelfia.

3) Stade Omar Hamadi has been renovated more than once and has been expanded from 9,000 to 12,000 and now holds 17,000 spectators.

4) In 1998, the stadium was renamed from Stade de Bologhine to Stade Omar Hamadi in honour of the former president of the club who was killed along with two of his sons in Bouzria in Algiers by a terrorist group in 1995.

5) The record attendance at the stadium is 25,000, a match between USM Alger and JS Kabylie in January 2005.

6) Stade Omar Hamadi has an artificial playing turf, the length of the pitch is 105m and the width is 64m.

Super Eagles GK Rewarded For Skipping Liberia Friendly, Makes Full Competitive Debut For Elche

Super Eagles GK Rewarded For Skipping Liberia Friendly, Makes Full Competitive Debut For Elche
Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has reaped the reward for skipping what turned out to be an inconsequential friendly against Liberia on Tuesday, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The teenage goalie has been handed his full debut by manager Pacheta for tonight's Copa del Rey clash against Granada at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.

Signed from Deportivo de La Coruña on a season-long loan, Uzoho was not listed by Elche for their Segunda Division games against Reus Deportiu and Osasuna before he reported for international duty.

The Nigerian linked up with Elche at their get-together in San Pedro del Pinatar ahead of today's meeting with Granada.

Against Seychelles last weekend, Uzoho did not concede for the fourth game in a Super Eagles shirt.

For the remainder of the season, the 19-year-old will play with the number 28 jersey at Elche.

Granada trail 1-0 heading into the break after Elche midfielder Jonathan ñíguez gave the home team the lead from the penalty spot in the 41st minute.

Victor Moses Not On Good Terms With One Experienced Super Eagles Player Before Announcing Retirement

Published: September 13, 2018

Victor Moses Not On Good Terms With One Experienced Super Eagles Player Before Announcing Retirement
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Chelsea winger Victor Moses was not on good terms with an experienced Super Eagles player, Elderson Echiejile, before he called time on his international career last month.

The official word from the former England U17 star is that he took the decision to quit the Nigeria National Team so he could spend time with his family and focus on his career with Chelsea, but there is more to it than that.

Moses did not have a cordial relationship with Elderson Echiejile simply because a member of his family in Benin City advised him to be wary of the former Monaco defender.

The two players were supposed to be good friends as they are both products of BJ Foundation and skippered the Benin City based academy at youth tournaments.

Before relocating to London, Moses was the captain of BJ Foundation's U13 team and Echiejile skippered the U16s.

Apart from having a frosty relationship with Echiejile, Moses had complained that he was not comfortable fraternizing with some Super Eagles players because they are involved in fetish practices.

Moses scored 12 goals in 37 appearances for the Super Eagles and was part of the Nigeria squad that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

Uzoho's debut for Elche.. Some good saves


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2IWXTvKZh0

Look at that offside deception before Uzoho made the last save.

Two players placed themselves offside to deceive the opposite players but as soon as the ball was played they ran onside while one ran out of offside to force a save.

cafcup:
In response to your assertion regarding the Super Eagles player breaking into Chelsea's first team, I want to put it to you that we do have a couple of them.

1. Ndidi can fit in there pretty good.
2. Aina is a young lad and has played for the blues as well.

Try to get your facts right next time bro.

Cheers!

That was when Babayako was still in Chelsea but as at now, no space for Ndidi.

You see say dem send Aina go loan, you still think em go play?

Earthquake1:
Is there anything wrong with my reasoning?

Ronaldo oluwa..... Ama mooooo.

Humility017:
you reason way side....
a living dog is way better than a dead lion.
a player playing week in week out in burley is way better than one who barely make match day squad in a team like Chelsea

you really never to build your Self esteem...and treat yourself with respect.... don't be a push over.

give any of those promising young lads the opportunity they will grow to become world class...
even the array of English boys we've been try to corner player for us...like lookman will step in and likely even play better than the Moses you're worshipping.
please bro let's move on

It's our prayer these lads surpass Vicmo but as it stands, we never see.

Yes! Burley regular is better than Fabregas the Chelsea bench warmer. Wow!

The last time I checked, Vicmo played a game out of 4 matches this season. Abi e don pass 4 matches?

See as em dey yan as if dem don play pass 4 matches and Vicmo don miss 50 matches this season. Na wa ooooo.

Earthquake1:
If he stays he is blocking the path of one of our young wingers who are hungry to play for the national team

He should stay retired so these young boys can be blended in the team before AFCON 2019 and the next world cup

See reasoning.

Na wa ooooo.
