Kog45:
It seems you don't understand Kayode issue.Let me tell you little i know about his situation with national team.

The sport administrators don't want outspoken ones in the team,this is what affected Jonathan Akpoborie chances in the Eagles,the same thing James Obiorah,to some extent Wilson Oruma,even Godwin Opara,look at Enyeama scenario,the NFF w make sure they block Enyeama recalled coz they don't want him.

Did you know Enyeama/Olishe feud was a script written by NFF and Olishe acted on it,telling Olishe if you want to succeed just get rid of certain players like Enyeama,Mikel, Emenike,benching Mikel for Onobi was a script,Emenike saw the handwriting on the wall he resigned, kudos to Mikel he didn't let it bother him he carry on with the team despite the humiliation.

Kayode Olarewaju issue with football administrators started when he came out publicly to indict Taiwo Ogunjobi in his transfer brouhaha when he was in cote d voire,this confession affected Ogunjobi career as a football administrator,till today he never forgive Kayode.

Since then Kayode has been under watch of NFF,they don't want to have anything to do with him,though Ogunjobi is no longer in NFF he still waxes influence as former sec Gen.

The last invitation Kayode got against South Africa was a forceful one and i can tell you Rohr you are accusing was the one that made it possible,if it's NFF he w never be considered.I can tell u if he get another it's Rohr.

The issue has nothing to do with tribe cos Kayode's problem is Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi who happened to be his kinsman not Rohr and as i said in one of my comments that Rohr just need to listen to some people cos thet are the forces who made it possible for him to be appointed as a coach,so don't be surprised if Ogunjobi was one of the people that made Rohr appointment as a coach of Super Eagles possible.

Clemens Westerhoff got Nigeria job through Chief SB Williams and he listened to the man,some players came to national team through Kojo Williams,

I remember Stephen Keshi got his first coaching appointment with Togo through Patrick Okpomo and when he got fired the same man make sure he got him Mali job,so these people are cabal,this is the problem in Africa,a lot are happening behind the scene,not only in football, look at Maina case and the presidency.

James Obiorah made 2002 WC when he openly said national team coaches are collecting money, it was international interview and this prompted Onigbinde to force NFF to invite him,NFF dont want Obiorah in the team.He came to camp and made the team.

Think of it highest goal scorer in Austria league and even the best player last season before moving to man city and loaned to Girona in LA liga, on a good day he supposed to be in national team but forces working against him are the same forces working against Enyeama recalled.

Truly it's corruption but i just want you to know that Kayode is not victimize for being from one tribe in Nigeria cos the man behind the whole show is from the same tribe with Kayode.

Icon79:
Big Joe, you gotta be smarter than that. You gotta take everything (and I mean everything) you read here with a big dose of salt.

From everything I know, Kayode isn't making the Super Eagles team purely for football reasons. Having watched him a couple of times, there's no doubt in my mind that Simon, Kelechi, Ighalo, Onyekuru, and VicMo are better. Forget what he did in Austria, let him replicate that form in La Liga. Like we say in football, the name of the game is, "What have you done for me lately".

Standby Players On Alert As Ighalo Pulls Out Of Algeria, Argentina Clashes

Chanchung Yatai forward Odion Ighalo has been ruled out of Nigeria’s upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina next month after picking up an injury for his team.

Ighalo is set to be out for a period of three weeks, which effectively rules him out of the Eagles November 10 and 14th game against Algeria and Argentina respectively.

The former Watford of England forward will contact the technical crew later today to intimate them of his withdrawal according to the print edition of Sportinglife Newspaper.

His withdrawal means one of the players placed on standby will move up to the main team as replacement for the forward, who has regained his spot in the Nigeria national team after playing second fiddle to Kelechi Iheanacho for some time.

One among the trio of Kenneth Omeruo, Alhassan Ibrahim and Brian Idowu who are on standby will most likely replace Ighalo for the game against Algeria and Argentina

I can see because of the greed we didn't qualify for russia 2018 ba

How many times komekn go tell you say that guy papa block him chances to play for us

On Lookman, Solanke and Onomah abeg name one person for this page wey say de no like am??

We're looking at an immediately team list that we'll use to play Algeria and Argentina within the next 2 weeks and you're calling people that might not be able to feature for us in 2 months even if we decide to expediate the process of a switch tonight

Some weeks ago you didn't read on this platform where the spokesman said they're trying to convince like 4 England born to switch allegiance to Nigeria

tbaba1234:
Dele Alli is a fantastic talent but Girona deservedly beat madrid this weekend.

They are in terrible form. On another day, it won't be this easy.

tbaba1234:
He is not a sure starter.. English...

Mujtahida:
Not only entertainment as a sole criteria was used. And if not entertainment why do you think the premiership is the most popular league and ranks number one when it is not the most technical?

tbaba1234:
Onomah with an assist for Villa..

Mujtahida:
That link was dropped here by komekn. And entertainment is just one out of several factors used. If CAF compiles a list of best countries in the world Nigeria will be in the first five but if a wider scope is considered we will not be top five. Indeed we are 41 in the world. So Belgium can be top ten within UEFA but it's not top ten in the world best leagues.

mank1234:
Scotland is ranked 26th.
Does that mean playing in a relegation threaten team in Belgium Is better than playing for the Scottish champions? Does that also mean the player playing for the Scottish champions shouldn't be invited?

chrisooblog:
you didn't see the ball that he saved on the goal line when the cameroonian striker almost killed him or all those shots he saved from distance against cameroon and zambia? ok o

Mujtahida:
I am not talking of Chidiebere because it is obvious that Norway is not top league. I wrote that post to challenge your assertion that Ajagun passed your test meanwhile he didn't pass any. Belgium is not in the top ten best league in the world(test 1) and Ajagun's club KV Kortrijik is number 14 out of 16 teams in the Belgian Jupiler(failed test two)
So why do you keep calling for Ajagun and Azeez when you oppose chidiebere with so much vehemence?

tbaba1234:
If Ajagun goes to Malta today, forgiveness will find a reason why he should be invited.

Mujtahida:
I knew you were going to pick on that point even before I read this and you have confirmed my thoughts. I have since edited it to reflect your two test. No copy out. We are not here to win arguments, so no cheap tricks. So here it is again. Answer it.
I have quoted your test word for word.

He didn't pass the two test namely 1. playing in the top 10 best leagues in the world
2. playing for the best clubs either in the top 10 or outside.

As per test number 1 - Belgium is ranked number 12 by the bleacherreport.com (fails test one) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2691880-ranking-the-most-entertaining-leagues-in-world-football

As per test number 2 - Ajagun plays for KV Kortrijik ranked number 14 out of 16 teams in the Belgian Jupiler.(fails test two) See attached screenshot of teams in the Belgian top flight

So you see! Even by your own test, your own criteria, your own standard, Ajagun and I am sure so many other players you clamour for fail.

While I like your test I know it is not the ultimate criteria.

chrisooblog:
if point 1 is the only criteria that mattered you would have put a caveat but you didn't you don use your own padlock trap yourself for the benefit of people so they won't forget what you said

1. playing in the top 10 best leagues in the world
[b]2. playing for the best clubs either in the top 10 or outside

so based on the bolded does ajagun play for the best club in belgium? simple yes or no

Mujtahida:
Mention the top ten leagues in the world and let me tell you that Denmark, Greece(I know one or two of your beloved play in Greece, Belgium, English Championship(where your favourite Thiago plays), Austria, Switzerland, Scotland are not in the ten top leagues.
As per your 2nd category, So a player playing in the best club in Lesotho is better than one playing in the bottom in Norway?

While I prefer that we have a team studded with players playing in top clubs in top leagues because it enhances the pedigree of our team, I always look forward to any player called upon to give a good account of himself in our national team irrespective of the league or club he plays for. I have my bias but I can't be biased against good performance. I argued against Martins precisely because I feel his time with our team is over but if he comes and performs I can't argue against that.

Let me use this popular quote of Alexander Pope who said in response to the debate regarding which form of Government is best once said 'of forms of government, let fools contend; what is best is best'

I will apply it to say 'of players to play in our national team and the leagues they are picked from, let talking heads contend; what is quality is quality. Kpom

chrisooblog:
forgiveness you said two things are involved you can't for the purposes of argument exclude one to the detriment of the other.

you typed these words using your own fingers not mine

1. playing in the top 10 best leagues in the world
[b]2. playing for the best clubs either in the top 10 or outside

so based on the bolded does ajagun play for the best club in belgium? simple yes or no

chrisooblog:
[/b] does ajagun play for the best club in belgium?

Mujtahida:
Tell him oo. Those are just regular clubs na.

Mujtahida:
Do you know that in law how you obtain your evidence does not matter? Once it passes the twin criteria of relevance and admissibility it would be accepted even if you stole it, bribed to get it or duped someone to get it.

I am not justifying wuru wuru sha but just to let you know that this your university analogy is not universal nor is it apt for this case. Cos I don't think it's wrong for scouts and agents to say 'hey Coach, I got this sweet player, would you mind trying him out?' Even parents with talented kids do that. The issue should not be how you got called because Kog45 has shown that players get called through different means. If you were in a position to influence things today now, you'd make sure Tega, Aluko, Tammy, Onomah are invited and if they cut it fine.

The only problem will be where the player(s) is tested and falls short and yet still continues to feature in the team thereby robbing some other quality player of his opportunity and ultimately the team.

PDPGuy:
Ryan Sanusi needs FIFA clearance because he has played for Belgium’s U-20 team

Joebie:
Anderlecht's #9, Henry Onyekuru starts as a center forward against PSG.

tbaba1234:
The coach has the prerogative on the positions, he intends to fill.

If he is looking for an extra DM, that is his decision

forgiveness:
CHIDIEBERE NWAKALI CAN ONLY PLAY DMF, CMF AND LM. HE NEVER PLAYED AS A LB.

People should not come here and tell us about versatility. No call dog a monkey to deceive the mumus.

If Rohr is truely looking for a DMF, we have many of dem doing well in a better league than in one obscure league in Norway.


No 1. Ryan Sanusi is playing in the EREDIVISIE for Sparta R. He is a free scoring DMF and he can play in 5 other roles( AM, CM, LW, LM & RW)


No 2. Brian Idowu is currently playing in the Russian league. He is also a better option than Chidiebere Nwakali because he is more versatile and plays in a better league than him. He Is double times versatile than Chidiebere Nwakali. He has played regularly as a DMF, RB, LB, CB, LM & LM. Why was he placed on standby while a player from obscure league just surface on the list from no where?

No 3. Raheem Lawal doesn't need any formal introduction. He has played and still playing as an DMF, AM & CM but the corrupt and selective system will never allow merit to reign in this country.He ones played as a RW too.


No 4. Hope Akpan also doesn't need any formal introduction. He is more versatile than chidiebere Nwakali some people want to force down our throat. E no go work. He offfers options in the LM, DM, CMF & AMF



These are the ones that doesn't need any FIFA approval/clearance before they can play for their father's land.

Time will not permit me to write about Ramon Azeez who is currently helping his club to top the la liga 2 table. I didn't mention Joel obi because they made excuse that he was injured when the list was made. So, Rohr doesnt have credit on his phone to find out about his injury?

If I begin add those ones nko? But it is not necessary now. Now, why did the coaching crew ignored these ones?

I have not mentioned those that need clearance oooo.

somehow:
Has he finished using the DMs on the bench? Both Ogu and E haven't played for almost 3 matches now, so what is the use of Nwakali as DM?

komekn:
I cannot disagree in terms of performance and in comparison apart from Awoniyi there are too many players ahead of him.

Yesterday evening I was with a Nigerian origin player who has played a couple of games for a EPL team. He is left footed and fast i have been saying he is not ready yet. What do I say to him now Go and play in a bottom club facing relegation in a moi moi league ranked 30 in Europe and Rohr's scouts will then notice you.

Or how u see am

somehow:
Has he finished using the DMs on the bench? Both Ogu and E haven't played for almost 3 matches now, so what is the use of Nwakali as DM?

junnyjake:
Nwakali didn't get work permit to feature for Girona which was why he never got to play a game for them.

I don't see how that is failure in his side. Read the part I bolded in the report.

TheGoodjoe erroneously suggested that the coach was being racist because Nwakali was the only black in the team then and he wasn't getting games.

So what you wrote up there has nothing to do with what I was saying.

junnyjake:
To forgiveness, not being able to obtain work permit to play = failure.
