We gained independence when we were not fit to!!

Which not fit?

Na British establish prosperous Benin Empire, Oyo Empire, The kingdom of NRI, Kanem - Borno Empire etc?

Bros, these were stable wealthy States established by our people.

It is oyinbo mentality that makes some people believe black man is not fit to rule but na lie.

Change your system of government to that of UK and see how you fair.

Why Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo Will Be Better Served Elsewhere Than Anfield
The life of a footballer is a fickle proposition. Things change so swiftly and leave one with the best or worst, particularly for youngsters in the round-leather game.

One minute, you could have the world at your feet, the next could find you an afterthought.

But for true talent, that is hardly the case. That brings us directly to Liverpool's Nigerian starlet, Sheyi Ojo who is striving to make plausible inroads with the Premier League club as they continue to fine tune in pre-season games for the start of a new season.

If you have keenly watched the trickster play, you will easily be bowled over by his blinding, almost audacious style of football. But bear in mind, he had come a long way.

The then England U-20 boy wonder captivated the English scouts with his irrepressible style of play, leaping and bounding through the turfs of Milton Keynes Dons and by virtue of his hard work, he became the first Dons trainee to receive an international cap at youth level during his time with them.

At 21 now, he has verily come of age and while those inestimable talents of his have not waned a bit, getting regular first team football under his belt is the prerequisite for a prodigious player as he is to continue to blossom. After all, there is really no crime in being young.

Such spells like the one with promoted Fulham last term where he made 22 league outings (18 starts) with a respectable return of four goals and two assists was a career curve ball, a necessary lesson for a blooming potential but as a new season draws nigh, it is time to think again.

It is no hidden secret that he is well thought of by The Reds manager, Jurgen Klopp who has continued to include him in his plans during the course of the ongoing pre-season activities but the fact is that their first team is glaringly spoilt for choice in picking an attacking line at the moment.

While all of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have, by the extent of their solid performances, established themselves as first choices, Daniel Sturridge, Dominic Solanke, Divrock Origi and Danny Ings, seemingly regarded as the team's second pick bunch are well placed above him in the pecking order.

Liverpool has yet gone about investing in their firepower as Xherdan Shaqiri has arrived from Stoke City this transfer window to add up to the number of those jostling for attacking spots upfront — there in precisely lies the nub of the story.

If Ojo decides to evade his possible suitors who are already circling around with the hope of staying and fighting for a place in this team, that is a bold move but in a realist sense, might not seem the best.

Championship clubs, Reading and Middlesbrough have already been talked up in the past few days as possible destinations and these sides which do have brilliant footballing cultures will not look out of place for a young player like he is to continue his development.

He had better go to Wolfsburg.

Was Ademola quoted in that article abi u no sabi read again? Even the person quoted has reservations, he wasn't sure of what he was saying

He has given us the green light now.

Catch up on the performance of Nigerian players and their teams in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, July 24.

Three Nigerians featured for Danish side Midtjylland in their 2-1 loss on the road against Astana.

Paul Onuachu and summer signing Ayo Okosun started at Astana Arena. The former Dream Team VI striker went the distance while Okosun was replaced by Onyeka Frank on 68 minutes.

Elsewhere, Malmo number 20, Innocent Bonke, was an unused substitute in his side's 1-0 victory against Romanian side CFR Cluj at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu.

Over to the Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb), Israeli champions Hapoel Beer Sheva have a mountain to climb in the return leg following their embarrassing 5-0 loss to Dinamo.

Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu put in a full shift for the Camels and he was later joined on the pitch by Anthony Nwakaeme in the 54th minute.

In Greece, Switzerland youth international Noah Okafor was not in Basel's 18 against PAOK. The Super League side beat their visitors 2-1.

Finally in the Polish capital, Marvin Egho started and played 90 minutes for his Slovakian club in their impressive 2-0 win at Legia Warsaw. The striker was substituted in injury time.

Marvin Egho is an Austrian-Nigerian. I heard he is very good. He made Slovakia league team of the season. He could move to a good club next season if he does well this season.



This league is where Simon Moses, Samuel Kalu, Kingsley Madu, Rabiu Ibrahim and now Harry Gong used as stepping stones to better clubs or leagues. Watching out for him.

Following the release of a video of Nigeria football coach Salisu Yusuf receiving cash to invite players for the AFCON qualifiers more revelations are coming out as to the depth of corruption in Nigerian football

The decadence seems to have eaten deep into the fabric of Nigerian football via local coaches especially within the youth teams

A close and respected source close to Soccer Assembly has revealed that the coaches of one of the Junior teams has also been to collecting money from agents to play their players ahead of more competent players

The Coaches have been inexplicably leaving a more established player on the bench with the excuse that since he already has a club the others who don’t have should play ahead of him

These coaches have been promised percentages should the young lads get contracts while turning out for Nigeria







According to our source a sports ministry official attached to the team who pleaded anonymity reported the ongoings to the parents of the player who was being marginalized in favor of those whose agents were paying

The NFF pulled out all stops to ensure the player affected turned out for Nigeria and occurrences like this could cause the player to reconsider his options as the player who is with the team currently in an ongoing tournament is being frustrated by the coaches

The players parents are expressly disappointed painting a scenario similar to how French Superstar Kylian Mbappes dad complained about the Cameroonian football federation asking him for money making his son decide to play instead for France

The matter has been reported to the hierarchy of the NFF and they have promised to get to the bottom of it

Soccer Assembly will continue to investigate the matter to dig up evidence which would expose these corrupt coaches

I know who the player is. Omidiji

tbaba1234:
Nigerian coaches Association led by Ladan Bosso have come in full support of Salisu.

Birds of the same feather, all of them.

andrew444:
Lol

Yes I agree I have a problem as far as you southgate and your brother Roy hodgson is concerned you kno him no neee to mention his name

Abeg commot make I see road.

See Salisu wey dey call people name.

goldfish80:
It's incredulous that Elderson Echiejile is still a Monaco player.
Who is his agent?

Actually, He was bought from a very good club in Portugal. He even got to the Europa league finals with the team.

Monaco must have considered the fact that he has played in both Ligue 1 and Portuguese liga.

Na age dey worry am.

charlesemeka85:
its on paper that the aforementioned clubs were after henry's signature before everton snapped him up. everton had the better developmental plan and pay package that was why the lad moved joined them.

The ones after the players u assume they are hyping is on where? Tissue paper?

charlesemeka85:
help me ask am,all they want na big club move but dem no realize our players arent that good enough as they re being hyped

And he is the one telling us how Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, come put etcetera, dey find one player upandan.

You are in the same boat mister.

andrew444:
No mind forgiveness

If na another player like osimhen samuel kalu dey in the shoes of awoniyi him go say dem no dey good enough for monaco,him no go even dream for them to go on loan there,but e don reach him favorite player him want make e go monaco like say the guy go fit make the team.

Gent is the best option for awoniyi,He need to keep improving and i pray he makes Liverpool team one day,the guy is just 21,very young

Na me say make Monaco dey pursue Awoniyi?

You be God wey take know my mind say I no go want Osimhen and Samuel go Monaco on loan?

Walahi! You have a very big problem. Na so ...

komekn:
You have no idea how Rohr hot his job in the first place.

That's why you can make the assumption you make.

Maybe when you get older or begin to engage with some of these people von higher places in the context of Nigeria.

You will understand the framework of corruption.

Leave dem make dem dey turn blind eyes to reality. Breeze don blow Fowl yanch don't open laaaa..

I don't want to talk about the process that brought Rohr in. Make we pretend say we no ......

andrew444:
Who he wan bench for Monaco ?

Jovetic ? Falcao ? Keita blade ?

Abeg gent is a nice option and he is sure of a starting shirt there

Jovectic is injury prone while Keita Blade is not a CF.

Besides, Monaco no go just carry player wey dey irrelevant put for dem team. Think

charlesemeka85:
small time now you go tell us say olayinka better pass am

It seems you are a jjc here. No, you are.

Who doesn't know I and Komekn are the ones clamouring for this lad invitation to the national team for the past 2 years?

edi287:
He has his coaching badges like Finidi and the rest. So what's the issue??
We are talking about someone assisting Rohr - Oya tell us who you'd like to replace Salisu??

Good question.

charlesemeka85:
Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that Nigerian midfielder Josh Onomah is in his plans for the forthcoming season.

The England U21 star was omitted from Spurs traveling party to the United States on Sunday, which fueled speculation that he was set to be loaned out or sold before the close of the summer transfer window.

However, Pochettino has revealed that Onomah missed their American tour as a result of injury.

Speaking to reporters, Pochettino said : ''I think it’s different personal situations for different players. It’s clear the situation for players like Vincent.

"Josh is part of our plans, he’s injured and doing his recovery with Harry Winks, that’s why he’s not here."

Onomah, who spent last season on loan with Aston Villa, has racked up 32 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur since making his debut in January 2015.

Timothy Eyoma and Luke Amos have traveled with the first team to the United States and are in line to face Roma in San Diego on Wednesday.

See better player wet dem suppose call na one obscure league players go dey find dem way enter national team.

Is that not corruption?

komekn:
And how exactly was he freed and exonerated in the most legally fantastic scenario.

Please tell us oh ❓

Na dere you go fear fear Nigerian politics.

komekn:
I have watched Seyi only from Liverpool and he only plays left sided midfield and or Wing.

In those position they also came with disciplined defensive responsibilities. So to say he cannot play LWB is premature.

He can play LWB but full LB, mbanu! He is too attack minded.

komekn:
Agreed without one iota of reservation

But some still dey find Alfa bear bear after em don't burn. Bhhahaha?

Icon79:
Huh Do you know something we don't know?

Pray, do tell.


O pari

Look up and see for yourself.

BascoVanVeli:
The only fact there is that he beat up the poor guy but the reason isn't concrete. I bet sir Alex would have loved to do the same to Ronaldo's agent. Agents are not the most popular people.

Has Amunike come out to deny allegations levied against him?

komekn:
Tell me one corrupt individual politician or anyone else of importance that has been convicted of corruption.

Nothing will happen.

The only corrupt politician to go to jail with a sentence reflecting his crimes to some degree is IBORI. And we all know why, justice and is not a meal regularly served here.

Bode George. Hahahaha!

Actually, there are some unlucky ones.
