Tinubu should have kept borrowing 1.5b dollars to strengthen the dollar. The fake life should have continued until the country is mortgaged and sold patapata.

We should have continued to borrow billions of dollars to pay subsidy thieves and also use our oil revenue to service debts.

No wonder Buhari mortgaged crude oil and used the money to pay debts. Chaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Is UK going to reciprocate the gesture? Otherwise, it's a lopsided agreement without significant benefits to the Nigerian legal system

This will create development in those cities.

For example, Previous governors of Ogun state focused development in only Abeokuta and environment. Neglecting the other places.

Ijebu Ode being the capital is a very good idea. That will elevate the people of Ijebus to develop their state. Kudos.

HopeGying:
Southern Kadunans and other middle belters deserve the creation of states more against this perennial lugardian contraption.

The next agenda after this.

Ibrahimmrfish:
And you think all the northern senator will allow this to happen.

Of course!!! They will also benefit. Na game. Before I scratch your back, scratch mine first.

After this, we shall increase the states in the North. Na game plan.

Okay. But which is better between the 2 for him?

American has deviated from what made them. It has fallen into the hands of evil men. This could be the beginning of the end of United states of America.

Oh Lord! Bless America. The protector of Christian religion. "In God we trust"

It's a masterstroke if it eventually becomes fruitful.

Don't ask me why? You should know if you're conversant with the politics of the day.

Cote d'Ivoire's Coach Fae on beating Nigeria:

"We noticed the Nigerian players were tired in the first half. They were not at their usual best,”

“I told my players during the half-time break that we must increase the intensity of our game and it worked out well for us."

This is exactly what Peseiro failed to observe

Introduce Alhassan earlier and hold the ball to reduce the pace of the game.

They were literally playing into their hands by kicking the ball upfield and handing it back to them again and again.

Though I think if Alhassan was brought in earlier he would have done exactly what Iwobi failed woefully to do.

I said change Iwobi during the course of the match before the equalizer because it was obvious to the eyes Iwobi wasn't in that game. He was tired.

Paseiro should had brought in 4 fresh legs in the second half before that equalizer. Then I am sure the Ivorian doesn't stand a chance but unfortunately the coach no fit read match.

He had no plan B.

Dsimmer:
Mostob

In the the final against Cote d'Ivoire, aribo in just 4 minutes made 10 passes which is almost half of Iwobi's 23 passes in 78 minutes while Onyeka made 12 passes in 86 minutes. Imagine if Aribo was on the pitch for longer, he would have at least taken control of the midfield away from Cote d'Ivoire midfield who were having a blast. As I previously stated, Aribo was fantastic as a playmaking CM in the last afcon. With him and Onyedika who's a holding midfielder, Nigeria could control the match at least.

Where did you get that from?

TheLoneCitizen:
The fact that NGA lost that final makes Next Year's AFCON even better.

Rivalry with SA, GHANA, Angola and, CIV reignited.

Nwabali, Bassey, Onyeka, Aina, Osimhen, Boniface, Orban, Moffi, Awoniyi would all be playing for top 5 clubs by then.

Middle of summer tournament, means best players will be available.

Means world will sit down to focus here.

I know Osimhen will be playing for big club next season and Orban is already playing for Lyon.

Which big clubs are chasing the rest?

TradingGod:
the same messi wey retire 3 times for Argentina?

3 times but still came back stronger.

Regarding attack, It is not a guarantee Chelsea will sign a ‘big name and huge money’ [@David_Ornstein on NBC]

Chelsea saw osihmen performance and we're like "nah"

Person wey play despite illness.

Goke7:
and that's the kind of players we need in our national team not spoilt brats. Until Messi won the World Cup, he was bashed by Argentina (a whole Messi) that he could never be like Maradona, even Diego Simeone said he's not a leader but today the story is different. jeje my brother na so life be

Exactly, Messi is now the messiah in Argentina. He's rated above Maradona now but it took him patient and strong mentality to finally achieve.

This woman should be fired.

How do we know she is not involved in dollar racketeering?

NPA must collect money in naira for transparency. If they need to buy anything with dollar, they should go through the bank and wire the money.

lilfreezy:
I find it funny how this guy has been scapegoated all tournament. Ola Aina missed a penalty that almost got Nigeria eliminated, against South Africa, they dragged iwobi. Ola Aina actually cost us the game against ivory coast as we conceded through his flank and was cooked tirelessly by the ivorian winger, still it was iwobi that was substituted before Nigeria conceded that is still being dragged and bullied. Is there an agenda to this?

You're a poor reader of the game of football.

The midfield was weak and that allowed the Cote d'ivoire players to mount pressure on the defense.

The first goal was as the result of a shot saved from the midfield which resulted to cornerkick that caused the goal.

Had it been the coach was proactive enough to substitute Iwobi who was evidently not in that game with Yusuf and change his formation before the equalizer, we could had stabilized the game but unfortunately that Paseiro was too slow to make that changes.

Goke7:
Odion Ighalo was bashed left right and centre after 2018 World Cup performance, he came back to Afcon 2019 and became the highest goal scorer. Maguire (even Ghana Parliament use am do example), Onana have all suffered yet they keep going stronger for their teams.

That should be the mentality.

All human beings have different ways of reacting to situations but the most successful are those with strong mindset.

Iwobi needs to see this a a slip and not a fall then he can stand up and come back next year to shut those bad mouths with player of the tournament performance.

komekn:
Let's talk about the DM and or holding midfielder role. That role is absolutely crucial, and it's the core strength and for many it's where things are orchestrated from.

Classic example is Rodri Spain and Manchester City. He can attack shootong and short both feet, with an array of passes that are precise long and short. He can tackle, anticipate and intercept..He has the skill set to dominate in 1v 1 situation, his ball holding and ability to do defence splitting passes excellent he can dribble and is unpredictable. Add to that the ability to defend,
robustly and tackle aggressively.

What I've described is the modern day quintessential quality top level DM ( Holding Midfielder orchestrator)

Now tell me which of these attributes can be associated with Onyedika, Onyeka and Ndidi, who you want to build the team around.

A few informative screen shots to anchor ⚓ my opinion which is not just mine alone. See below

A system is only as good as the players you have playing it.

I think 🤔 you should have a rethink.

Remove Rodri from Mancity and see him play his normal game. What you see is Pep style imposed on him.

Why not?

charlesemeka85:
📰 | Sources inside the Super Eagles camp are suggesting a lot of players are considering retirement.

Jose Peseiro's contract also ends with the AFCON.

#copied

Saka that is far better than our players didn't retire after he was cursed for loosing the penalty.

I no support cyber bullying ooo.

Goke7:
a supersport studio analyst complained of this after our match against Angola and that the coach should have quickly brought out our tired legs in that game to rotate our players better. Many people here I remembered said the same thing, we surely paid for this in the long run

I agree.

Goke7:
there were tired legs in that game yesterday one analyst I listened to on Saturday said most of our starting 11 have played far more minutes than the Ivorians who perhaps did more rotation than us. Those can be minor differences from what we saw yesterday. Players like Bassey, Ajayi, and Aina played through the entire duration of all our matches.

Perhaps, you might be right.

Paseiro reminds me of Rohr. They have same thing in common in that they don't like substituting trusted players.

Kog45:
Yes against Sierra Leone.

Just once.

paramakina202:
They are not blindfolded with tribalism like you. They knows the most unqualified tinubu is president of Nigeria.

Have dey been to Onitsha or Anambra state were Peter Obi governed?

They relied on propaganda from Elupeeee.

Kog45:
When you have 11 players and you are playing like 9 against 11 then the pressures would make the players to be nervous,starting Iwobi and Chuckwueze gave CIV the confident to take ball to us

Gbamabsoltely!

Goke7:
How can players who have played in massive stadiums in Europe be nervous, which kind talk be that. Players who have played in wembley, Bernabeu, nou camp, San Siro, what can be more overwhelming than such atmospheres, make Paseiro talk something else jor.

If he says Fatigue, I can understand

Not all. Some were actually loosing ball and gave misplaced passes.

AndSunGorilla:
I disagree though I think we were outmanned in the midfield and therefore outmuscled completely hence the one way traffic. Yes am no coach but I think we should have played started Onyeka, Yusuf and Iwobi together. That extra body in MF would have at least made it harder for the Ivorians. The pressure on the defense was relentless.

I think it showed somehow because they kept loosing the ball.

However, the moment we scored first, I expected the coach to remove Chucks and Iwobi and bring Yusuf and Simon to see how we can stabilize the team.

We could bring in Onyedika for Zaidu to change formation to 4-3-3 when attacking, 4-5-1 when defending.

This formation could had neutralized the wings and stabilized the midfield. Then use counterattack to finish then as they get frustrated while searching for equalizer.

Kog45:
Yes Sporting Lagos keeper,made Afcon provisional team,apart from him we Osayi Kingdom,Amas Obasogie and Kayode Bankole

Baba, has Adebayo been tested?

Kog45:
That's football and I want to say our defenders did well cuz Iwobi and Chuckwueze are liabilities in that match,the duo contributed nothing to defend the ball.

The coach is to be blamed. He saw with his eyes and still left Iwobi till they equalized.

Who is the good President? Peter Obi? Bhuhahahahaha!

They have been sold a big fat lie.

Mininum wages should be based on per per task or pay per hour not monthly.

That monthly na slavery wages and some lazy worker just do nothing but receive wages. Absurb.

Kog45:
Christian Nwoke should replace Olorunleke Ojo....

I don't know him.
