Well, It depends on the individual.

If you have five big meats in ya soup, you will not wait until you finish eating.

I remember my parents(mother) will eat small swallow(eba, fufu, semo etc) but eats more than 3-5 meats.

Dem go con give me one small meat and when I ask why, she told me meat dey make pikin steal.

Haha!! I think one of you must be his agent tho.

I mean, it isn't as if Aluko is setting the league on fire either. The dude can barely get playing time at Fulham


O pari

No! I no be em agent ooo.

Besides, Aluko has raked in more goals and assist than all our attackers.

He has scored 6 goals with 9 assist playing from the wings and he was named the player of the month.

While Victor Moses, Simon Moses, Isaac Success, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa have not ......

Only Noah Joel has assisted 6 times with a goal.

Bros, don't mind forgiveness and his obsession with Aluko. But if you really wanna know then I have 3 words for you: Agents At Work .



O pari

Obsessed with Aluko? Not me.

TheGoodJoe is the one obsessed with Aluko.

I am just wondering why he is ignored despite the obvious.

This substantiats my stand that Rohr and his team have not done thier homework on the availability of Nigerian origin players in the UK. He is way too German /Dutch biased.


When we have to go to Okrika market to find a player from a pub team that is shocking. I gave the name of the Nigerian origin reserve team goal keeper for Burnley FC. To avoid the overwhelming embarrassment.

It is one of those their antics to keep their players in the team.

Once they know their player will not be available, they invite weak players who they know can be discarded at anything without any one raising an eyebrow.

What does Forgiveness stands for and what is Forgiveness interest?

Can you elucidate with a concrete evidence?

At least, I have always backup my arguments with confirmed evidences. Now, prove yours.

Have u noticed he is d last Yoruba to coach d Super Eagles.
.

Do you mean this statement of yours is true?

Except you were in the NFF when such decision was taking against a whole nation.

Abi na Amuneke ya friend don brief you? No wonder.

Icon4s:
Hahaha you see yourself?

I was only citing a case or cases where a coach openly stated his preference for his own kind of players.

Why u claim u didn't come across any such statements keeps me wondering

Pple who really followed Nigerian football between 2002 and 2004 would easily relate to what I said.

Icon4s:
Recall his comment when asked abt y he took Adepoju(hu was virtually called back frm retirement) and Opabunmi to the 2002 WC when it was obvious they were nt good enough at that time to make d team.Remember he dropped Finidi George, Sunday Oliseh, Tijani Babangida and Victor Ikpeba. The Nigerian press tagged him a tribalist nt jst bc he picked Opabunmi and Adepoju ahead of the above mentioned Golden generation Eagles bt bc of the ethnocentric reason behind his decision. It was d Ibadan connection though Onigbinde is from Modakeke bt was based in Ibadan jst like Adepoju and Opabunmi.

U remember what he said when appointed Shooting stars coach for the 2003/2004 season? He said he wanted to build a 3SC team that will comprise only of the Yoruba players. 3SC managed to escape relegation that season and Onigbinde was fired .
Have u noticed he is d last Yoruba to coach d Super Eagles.

Although i still respect that man a lot. U know he laid d foundation for the rise of Gambian football.

I see, na Onigbide made that @bolded ststement ba.

Out of the abundance of the heart......breeze don blow fowl yanch don show....

So Alloy Agu inviting Tope Okeowo na nepotism.

Thank God say there is no ...chukwu in Tope's name. Else we for no hear word this evening.

His name is Tope and so it is no longer nepotism but arrangee.

No worry, kontinue.

Hehehehe! Trying to justify evil.

Ikechuckwu Ezenwa does not deserve to be called to the national team. You may call it arrangee, nepotism etcetera. Na still d same kwurruption.


Besides. Can you remember who said these? Na you na.

Icon4s:
What? Opabunmi better than Akwuegbu?
Opabunmi that had jst graduated from d U17 & was still at 3SC waiting for his European offers to click. Benedict Akwuegbu a graduate of the 1989 Eaglets, verstly experienced, and featured prominently at 2000 & 2002 AFCONs. Yakubu hu could also had been chosen ahead of Opabunmi was a peoduct of the 2000 Olympics, He was then playing at Macabi Haifa of Isreal and scored a hat-trick in that 4-0 demolision of Sudan enroute qualification for that 2002 WC. Most football analysts then disnt understand y Opabunmi was taken ahead of Ayegbeni. The simple answer from Onigbinde was " he is my boy".

Opabunmi's talent then was nt even any where near Victor Osimhen's talent of today.

I dnt want to drag this argument further cos this is an U23 thread. Go back in time, it is nt too long ago to remember, there were question marks as per d inclusion of Adepoju and Opabunmi in dat 2002 WC list.

As per Onigbinde's ethnocentric comment after joining 3SC I am very sure of what i am talking abt. It was even a subject of discuss in of d sports show then.I cannot give u links on that comment bc d internet was nt as widely used then as today.So probably nt documented.

2002 is jst like yesterday to me. If i can vu
vividly remember sporting events of 1984 -87 what is 2002? Jst like yesterday.

Hehehehe! See the person pointing fingers.

No be nepotism again?

Na still d same 'bad habit'.

komekn:

I shock !!! infact I am shocked with high voltage.

Are you telling me that in the whole of Englands league system we do not have one Nigerian origin goalkeeper

I know Africans don't like to be keepers but this is crazy we pick somebody from almost Sunday pub football. Please this cannot be happening to go and play against Senegal.

I haven't looked in depth I admit.

But I think a reserve goalkeeper from the premiership should be better than somebody playing pub part-time football.

In case they don't know there is, Tony Aghayere he is the U23 goalkeeper for Burnley FC.



I really expected the NFF to do more in terms of finding better options. Or is this a case of arrangements taking place because I am completely perplexed. And that is just from memory I am certain there are others but this is the first one that comes to mind.

Na arrangeee na.

@bolded I was surprised to see women using bleaching creams on their baby in one of the cities in that state.

Men, women and children dey bleach for there.

TheGoodJoe:
Allow the coaches work. I also want Aluko on the squad as much as you do. Cool your temperature with Panadol and quick the negative attacks.

I don't trust those Nigerian coaches. Na dere way.

ROHR no like the guy..

Mtcheww! Na talk be that?

krattoss:
ALUKO is gone for good.

Really!

Why?

I am suspecting somebody doesn't want Aluko in the National team.

It is becoming a mafia thing.

No Victor Moses yet the coaching crew feel very adamant to extend invitation to Aluko but very quick to extend invitation to an unknown player whom dey know is inconsequential and will not raise eyebrows if not used.

Somebody is playing on somebody's intelligence.

otezu5:
I just felt he could twist things to his favour, you know since he owns a Club.

Bros, nobi only him wan get club for Nigeria.

Besides, Bet9ja owns Remo fc but it ain't doing well in the NPFL.

The club got promoted to the NPFL last season after many years in the lower league.

kingphilip:
best goalies to me is not by how many cleansheets but by how many saves made

The defense might be rock solid making it impossible for goals to enter doesn't make the keeper the best

Can I please have the number of saves by each goalkeeper??

Ikechuckwu Ezenwa dives like a pregnant woman. His reflexes is the antonym of sharp.

Icon4s:
What evidence do you have of any corrupt practices?

You are always bringing ethnic sentiments into our football discussions. Which one is "are dey ya brother?" now. You will then say na my thought.

I have always advised you to free your self of ethnic hate.

What further evidence do you need than these, substituting mediocre for informed players, bringing in a non league players to wear the National team no 10 Jersey, coach fighting to be a players agent(Amuneke), collecting bribe before giving a call-up to players etcetera?

Amokachi, Sarki etc confirmed it

About the ethnic hate, if you like call me whatever, you can't intimidate me with dis ya weak blackmail from expressing my views. Sorry, I am to wise for that.

Besides, Who begin ask questions about where person come from? No bi you.

Icon4s:
When the league has not even reached half way?

Ikechukwu Ezenwa has been an outstanding goalie in the NPFL for a couple of seasons. Mustapha Aliko keeping more clean sheets doesn't mean he is better than Ezenwa. By your argument na make Rohr invite Aliko na abi?

I have always told you that statistics does not tell all the story.

Dey there they always shout Nepotism. You are always quick to remember what part of the country any player is from.

Was he best goalie last season?

What about two seasons ago?

Even the guy that was the best last season is still on that list, why?

@bolded no consign me, na ya thought be that.

Ok, why you defending the kwurrupt?

Are dey ya brother?

Ikechuckwu Ezenwa doesn't deserve a call up. Shikena!

Who was the 2016 NPFL All stars number 1 goal keeper?

And what special thing did he do this season to deserve a call?

goldfish80:
I don't think it's right. Because Portugal allowed him ownership of Fierence doesn't make it OK. Portugal is renowned for endorsing so many shady deals in football. They allow 3rd party ownership/purchase of players which is illegal in most countries.
I don't think such arrangement will be permitted in England.

What do you think is not right?

Owning a club in Nigeria or Europe?
