Now why have the vultures not come to snatch Ajagun and others

The vultures snatched him straight from Nigerian league to the best Club in Greece and now the vultures have taken him to one of the best club in Europe.

I think know the Eredivisie, that is where he plays and it's even better than Cypriot first division and the Belgium pro league where most of our players trade.

terzurum5:
Ok.
Should we drop Ikeme?

I know you understand me but you are pretending.

Necessity is reason we need Ikeme.

terzurum5:
Oga Forgivess you totally not out of point. But you should know that we need to strike a balance on some of these stands.

Some players may not be in the best leagues, but still got a lot to offer.

Some players are full of promises even when the best leagues are yet to come for their services.

The key point here is what the player has got to offer.

If a player like Aaron Samuel was not called up, we would not have seen the other side of his game.
He was better than the more established Uche and Emenike.

What you are saying will encourage double standard.

Mickael2:
you are talking about necessity but you fail to understand that Shehu is just there for two reasons, first he is a utility player, in every squad you need atleast 3-4 utility players, then we also do not have any right back so he is covering for that position as well. If we get a good RB then we can consider removing him but till then, his own is still a huge necessity

You are right about the two reasons we need a player but I insist Shehu Abdullahi is the wrong choice for those two reasons.

We have better players that can play three positions too and that is what I am talking about.

"Priviledged to be there to shine".

Mind u he was team captain before Mikel's inclusion.

Azubuike may jst b out of the national team now bc of the abundance of DMF options. When you have players like Onazi, Mikel and Ndidi. Remember also that Shehu Abdullahi is a DMF.

I wanted him to be at the next U20 WC. His game level is way above his age. People often forget he is just 19.

I spoke as a Christian, I am sorry for that. I should have said it better.

Every human being is privileged...

I know Azubuike is good, so was Emmanuel Sani but no more bringing players to the National team based on past glory. He must deserve it.

We have better DMFs that are not in the national team. We should be inviting those ones.

terzurum5:
No Kayode and Adi are not playing in fancied leagues so they should be ignored by our Coaches, even though they have been oustanding in their various roles for Club. Abi no be so

Please do not change yur stands

You would rather we continue with Ideye and Ighalo, even if they do not score for Super Eagles as far as they are playing in the best leagues in the World, there is no problem.

Don't you know that the MLS is among the top 10 best leagues in the world?

And currently, Kayode club is playing in the Europa and he is doing well against top teams in that competition.

Can that be said of Shehu Abdullahi and his club?

I am still right on track, you know.

Icon4s:
That means players like Carl Ikeme, Sonne Aluko, and Shehu Abdullahi should forget the national team abi?

Show me which player in this current Rohr's squad that plays outside Europe or Africa.

I repeat: I WONDER HOW YOU ANALYSE YOUR OWN FOOTBALL.

I wonder how you analyse your own Football!

Necessity is the mother of invention. This is the case of Carl Ikeme or are you not aware?

I don't need to explain because you know.

Shehu Abdullahi case is different because we have better players playing in his position currently. How can you not understand that?

Sone Aluko plays for England second division which is even far better than Cypriot first division where Shehu Abdullahi plays. That is too low for the National team. Abeg.

Sone-aluko should continue to be the best in the Championship then he will get a call.

Currently, he is the best in the Championship and that alone will get him noticed....

Your analyses should be devoid of bias judgments.

SHEHU ABDULLAHI SHOULD FORGET THE NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY AND THEY SHOULD STOP GIVEN HIM A CALL.

BascoVanVeli:
He was a very important member of that team.

No doubt about that. He was.

TheGoodJoe:

It hard to do with get physical nature of the game. The game was too rough. Deschamps prepared his young men to go in hard on players.

The fact that Keshi had to change Azeez for Gabriel because Mikel yelled at him showed that Keshi was tactically deficient.

If France was rough, why don't you tell your players to feign injury at slightest touch? But no, he wanted to play strength for strength, muscle for muscle.

Mikel Obi self think say em be coach. I swear, he disappoint me after learning he was the one that stopped Azeez from coming on. That is if what you said is true.

TheGoodJoe:

Fact is that, there were challenges we faced. Not having much time but I will give you a scenario. When it was time to bring in Azeez, I screamed. Keshi should not bring Azeez in, They will KILL him.

Not long, Mikel looked towards the bench and screamed at Keshi that he should not bring in Azeez. That was when Keshi opted to send in Reuben.

Sometimes, a coach makes choices of players for tactical variations. When Reuben started, he did not get up to speed with he game. Towards the end of the game, he stopped two dangerous attacks with brilliant tackles. Unfortunately, moments like that do not stick to people but the early weaknesses.

When I first saw Azeez warming up to replace Onazi, I was at peace but suddenly I saw Gabriel came in for him.

As I saw dat I no put all my mind for the game again else I develop heart attack.

Mikel though Azeez was not good enough, right. So, what was the outcome of the one he preferred.

Abi em think say to play for La Liga for 2 good years na beans?

What a great error.

Mikel didn't want to seat at the front of the back four. Humm! I see.

terzurum5:
Where you not impressed by his display at the Olympics?

Of course, he was privileged to be there to shine but he should work harder to draw the attention of Nigerian fans.

terzurum5:
You see some players are not that favooured to have very good agents. So it may not be that easy for them to get good Clubs.
However, as far as they have got quality services to offer, I believe they should not be ignored.

If you play well, you will be noticed.

terzurum5:
He fails to understand that at times you have to harmonize or compromize standards/rules with reality to achieve some set goals.
Going by his analysis players like Etebo, Azubuike, Kayode, Adi should not be given a look in.
I doubt if a player like Kayode will not bang in goals with several callups which Ighalo and Ideye have enjoyed.

If no bi Ighalo and Ideye wey dey fall hand who go even think of Kayode and Adi?

They gave reason to look for better strikers and you look around, Kayode and Adi are doing very well.

So, they deserve it.

Etebor dey play for better league na but I never wan hear Azubuike for now.

Icon4s:
At times i wonder how forgiveness analyses his football.

You wonder?

Ok na, we should allow players from Afghanistan to wear the National team Jersey, maybe then you will understand.

No more double standard.

Play in top league or forget national team. Simple thing.

terzurum5:
If your Ajagun and all those players you have been clamouring for their callup are good enough, they should be in france too. Abi no be soo

Ajagun own still better, he plays near France.

Netherland still better pass Cypriot league na.

terzurum5:
Now is the best determined by the Club one plays or what the player in question has to offer

If the player has something to offer, they will not escape the vultures(scouts) who are ready to introduce dem to bigger clubs. You see.

goldfish80:
Seriously, am still perplexed till date why anyone would think Salisu Yusuf was the man who will dig us out from where we were.
Funny enough Guru Maharaji went with the flow and predicted that a foreign coach will not achieve anything with the SE.
He specially pointed at the flavour of the month, Salisu to lead us to the promised land.

Salisu himself started believing his own hype. Stating categorically he will not assist a foreign manager if the Nff don't consider him for the job.

Thank goodness the Nff stuck to their guns.
Those of us who believed the super eagles needed a foreign manager have been vindicated.
Congratulations to us all.

Hehehehe! We dey here.

terzurum5:
If that's the case Etebo too should be dropped from the team, going by your standard.

Portugal league is in the top 10 European league na.

E still dey for line na.

Kenyanstar:
Nairobi high rise buildings by day & night

The first picture is beautiful, really.

It looks more beautiful than Lagos(maybe from the part you are showing me). Nevertheless, Lagos has more highrise than Lagos, really. And we have more cities with highrise than Kenya.

I may be wrong.

Kenyanstar:
Eldoret Town

Eldoret town is the 5th largest town and is famous for world beating marathoners and athletes. It is also an Agricultural town.

Thanks for the pictures.

Kenyanstar:
KISUMU CITY

This is Kisumu City which is situated in Lake Victoria, the second biggest fresh water lake in the world. It is the biggest in Africa.

I think your cities are well planned. Very good.

I am beginning to know more about Kenya. Thanks

Kenyanstar:
Nakuru Town
It is the 4rd biggest city in Kenya. It boasts of phenomenal natural resources with the rare flamingo birds.

waoh! I love flamingoes.

This city is not bad. I see! I see!

Kenyanstar:
Let me ask you in terms of infrastructure what Nigeria has that Kenya has never had?

Well, I am curious to know more about Kenya hence the need to answer your question.

1, 4 international airport (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano)

2, Over hundred Universities (apart from Polytechnics and colleges)

3, Nigeria railway system is 3,505 kilometers

4, Nigeria is constructing standard gauge from Lagos to Kano(approximately 1,000 kilometers) and Lagos to Cross River. The Abuja to Kaduna has been completed and it is currently operating with the length of 186 kilometers, Lagos - Ibadan with 185 kilometers will be completed in 2018.

5, Cities runs Mono rails ; Lagos - 27.5 kilometers, Port Harcourt (under construction) and Calabar (completed)

6, one of the Longest bridge in Africa.

7, Lagos has more Highrise than Nairobi. Nigeria has more cities with Highrise than Kenya.

I may be wrong but I want to know more.

Kenyanstar:
MOMBASA
It is mainly a tourist town and mainly consists of apartments

Very beautiful.

Is there any other beautiful city apart from Mombasa and Nairobi?

Kenyanstar:
This is Mombasa City, second biggest city in Kenya. It harbors the second biggest port in Africa after the one in South Africa

I see. Very nice.

Africans should think about how to help each other and not to destroy each other.

I think there is too much gab in communication hence the misinformation and misunderstanding.

Nigeria has it challenges but his human resources can not be overlooked.

Kenya is good but is it better than Nigeria in terms of infrastructures provided across the country?

I know about Nairobi but I know nothing about Mombasa and the rest.

If you don't hear Lagos, you hear Abuja, Port Harcourt, Calabar Kaduna, Ibadan, Enugu etc. These are big cities with infrastructures.

But....

Kenyanstar:
The so called vehicles are just assembled by Nigeria..... all their parts are made in China.

It takes electricity to assemble cars. That's my point.

Besides, Korean cars manufacturers started the same way.

Hbuyosh:
Kenya, of coss. More Nairobi suburbs are in page 29, in this thread.

Yes. I have read and seen the pictures of Nigerian suburbs.

I know it Kenya but I was asking for the name of the city.


Nairobi is the Capital and it seems everything only revolve around it but that can't be said of Nigerian cities.

We have about 5 - 10 international cities. The 5 are springing up with real estate developments. Can dat be said of Kenya cities?

Hbuyosh:
No. Kenya could even be more industrialised than Nigeria. Nigeria is a country known for importing everthing, even toothpicks (quoting PMB here), yet Kenya produces much of the goods used in east and central African markets.

Africa’s Powerhouse- A speech by D.Kaberuka, Chairman, AfDB

I don't know if Kenya is more industrialized than Nigeria or vice versa but what I do know is Nigeria produces many things but the problem is Nigerians prefers foreign things.

That alone kills. Nevertheless, we produce many things you may think of.

Kenyanstar:
Hahaha..... what industries? So how do your industries function without electricity? How can you have many industries while the poverty rate remains unchanged?
You are a joke.

Of course, companies use generating plants. It doesn't stop industrialization in Nigeria though it may slow it.

Do you know Nigeria produces made in Nigeria vehicles?

Hbuyosh:
Stop posting nonsense here. A Nigerian teacher who earns less than a Kenyan teacher thinks he's too good for Nairobi....is just laughable.
A mere Nigerian, (calling himself an "upper middle class') thinks that he is too great, too good for Kenya, yet there are billionaires from even the US, UK, Italy that have even bought property in Kenya. Absurd!

Yet Nigeria, in terms of the quality of the real estates is no where in comparison with Kenya!

Beautiful. Where is this place?

But do you know much about Nigeria's real Estate?

Kenyanstar:
OK.... I will try my level best to lower my intelligence to your level



I checked your southern "rich" parts of Nigeria in comparison to Kenya about their infrastructure since they have the same population.
Does the south have this?
1. Kenyan new SGR( Standard gauge railway)|Serving both passenger DF11g, Freight-double stacking DF8 and shunting
2. Mombasa port(Second biggest in Africa) overhead railway bridge for freight services and passengers
3. Mombasa light rail metro bridge
4. DF8 freight- Doubling stacking. The only of its kind in Africa.

Quite impressive but believe me Nigeria, three cities in the South is building these. Lagos, Port Harcourt and Calabar.

Believe me, I only know about Nairobi as a standard city but I don't know if Kenya has better cities. I wish to know if they really have good cities with modern infrastructures.


In the Southern Nigeria, we have very good cities with modern infrastructures but..... Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Ibadan and Enugu.
