Hmmm! I see.

Exclusive: Akpeyi, Idowu, Osimhen, Oboabona Were NOT Considered For Call-Up Vs Algeria

Published: October 30, 2016
Exclusive: Akpeyi, Idowu, Osimhen, Oboabona Were NOT Considered For Call-Up Vs Algeria
Contrary to rumours emanating from a section of the media, Rizespor stopper Godfrey Oboabona, Wolfsburg trainee Victor Osimhen, Amkar Perm ace Brian Idowu, Gent midfielder Anderson Esiti and Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi were never considered for selection in the latest Super Eagles roster.

Allnigeriasoccer.com is in the possession of an email sent by the Nigeria Football Federation to all the invited foreign-based professionals and the aforementioned players were never informed to show up in Abuja for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria.

As a result of the document in our possession, this website correctly predicted the new players invited to beef up the squad, without making guesses, leaving out ADO Den Haag youngster Ebuehi because we were not sure of his email address and his Dutch agent has not yet informed us of his availability up to this moment.

Suggestions that the NFF and technical crew made last minute changes to the 25-man roster are out of topic and something done to save face.

It is common knowledge that Watford striker Isaac Success would have been invited but was eventually omitted after suffering another injury setback.

TheGoodJoe:
You are still preaching your three at the back gospel? Did you watch Chelsea against West Ham in the EFL Cup? By twenty minutes, the West Ham players laughed during their streams of attack.

They were allover Chelsea. They over crowded the wings and operated from the gaps at the defensive sides.

When Chelsea spread wide, they shifted the ball to the center and they were through many times.

Three at the back works with a well drilled defensive set-up.

When Mancini played three at the back, Richards said there were some positions the opponents took that he did not know who he was to mark.

How many chances did West Ham create with all the allover gra gra?

Although the official list of players for Nigeria’s

Brian Idowu has no such problem and he is
included.


Gernot Rohr is yet to decide on who gets the back up central defence slot between Granada Uche Agbo and Rizespor Godfrey Obabaoana, a decision which could however be made before the end of the weekend.


John Ogu is in the squad at the expense of Nosa
Igiebor and Anderson Esiti with Wilfred Ndidi
abilities to play in midfield and defence also a
factor used in axing the aforementioned duo.


Doubts still persists about the availability of Isacc Success although he assured the manager during a meeting this week, that he will be available.

Oghenekaro Etebo is in the squad while teen
Super Star Victor Osimhen is in it as well.

Nairaland is good ooooooo.

Unimaginable123:
I live in Abuja. And I know Lagos like the back of my hands.
Population doesn't make a place a city. Lagos is just a hell. The worst place to live on earth.
See Lagos island, see VI, Ikoyi, Lekki and d rest. Just rubbish. Go to cotonou or Accra or Dakar or Cape Verde and see. Not to talk of Asia or Europe or Northern America

But why did some Ghanaians I meet rate Lagos than Accra?

goldfish80:
Truth is that both players and coaches surf the Internet and read news and fans reviews of their games.
I know Joseph Yobo was a regular on kickoffnigeria.
Rohr appears to be a studios coach so far. I won't be surprised he surfs the net to review players available to him.
This thread will appear on the first page of any search engine.

I see!

Hehehehe! That means posting of players name continues.

I will gladly do it eventhough I will face strong resistance as usual.

tbaba1234:
Idowu also plays left back but i suspect he is in the team as an option for right back not left back especially if Amuzie makes the list.

Even Ebuechi can also play as LB.

tbaba1234:
This picture is Ebuehi not Ehizibue

You are right.

TheSuperNerd:
Paper Work Issues Could Stop Dutch Nigerian Ebuehi From Honouring Super Eagles Call Up

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/image-47.jpg?fit=483%2C304



Reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com has it that Tyronne Ebuehi
might not honour the invitation to the Nigeria
senior national team, due to issues bothering on
documentation.


Ebuehi as exclusively reported by
Owngoalnigeria.com is in the list of players, that
the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot
Rohr has penciled down for the November 12
qualifiers against Algeria in Uyo.


The ADO Den Haag defender has made five
league appearances this season with a goal to his name, in what is his third full season in the
Eredivisie.


However the right full back, who was born and
brought up in the Netherlands could miss out on the game as he is yet to be issued a Nigerian
passport, by the authorities.

Although he qualifies to represent Nigeria through his parents, the 20 year old presently holds only a Dutch passport and by rules, he need to be in possession of a Nigerian passport for him to be eligible to play for the West Africans.


”Ebuehi is in the list but he might not make it for the game against Algeria, unless he gets a
Nigerian passport before next month. For now he is not in possession of one and he needs it to play for Nigeria” Super Eagles insider @muyiwalawal told Owngoalnigeria.com.

To get Nigerian passport na small thing. He can get it within some days.

I don't know if it will be easy to get at the Nigerian Embassy in Holland though.

TheSuperNerd:
I don't know for this annoying NFF...... I'm sick of them.

Pinnick talking to a certain Fejiri called to England U-23 backups list when Otigba is ready and waiting.

Abeg... their entropy don tire me. #BackToPlayersHunting_Monitoring

Imagine! Fejiri! Who sabi d lad?

We are talking about a player who has already pledged his allegiance to the National team, he is going about looking for an unknown player who is not even ready to play for us.


Sometimes e bi like say dey no know wetin dem suppose do.

Otigba ought to have been called to the National team long ago but it seems there's something is fishy about the whole thing.


Hopefully, he keeps playing well to get noticed by the coach.

Ehizibue Shows Why Nigeria Wants To Lure
Him From Holland With Goal For PEC Zwolle In Cup Game

https://i1.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/image-61.jpg?fit=1200%2C800

Dutch Born Nigerian defender Kingsley Ehizibue
has further confirmed his worth as a top prospect, by his second goal of the season as PEC Zwolle secure progress in the Dutch Cup with a 2-1 win over VVV Venlo.


Ehizibue struck in the 29th minute to put his
team on course for the all important win, and
adding to his season goal tally in the process with his other goal coming in their 1-1 draw against Utrecht in the league.


Comfortable as a right back or winger, the 21
year old who was recently capped by the
Netherlands at youth level is still eligible to
represent Nigeria.

Attempts by Nigeria to lure him is in top gear with manager Gernot Rohr keen on strengthening the right side of the Nigerian team.

However his switch could take some time to
happen in regards to documentations as FIFA will have to ratify any attempt from the full back to play for Nigeria after representing the
Netherlands.

He also qualifies to represent Germany, the land
of his birth as well.

I think this boy should not be ignored by our scouts.

He seems to be a very good player.

I don't think he will stay in this small club for long because he's too good to play for one of the best clubs in the world.


Well, make dem cap Ebuechi and Brian first then we will now move to this versatile player.

But I am not happy the way we are treating Otigba.

How long will it take to change Nationally?

Ebi like say somebody is not honest with the truth.

It seems somebory is reading comments here.

Icon4s:
On the contrary, I was impressed.

For his age he showed so much confidence. Not shy of taking on the position. And he has this excellent ball holding capabilities. Very skillful and creative. He did better than most of those Arsenal Ajebos that played against Reading.

Due to the formation Chelsea played he played more as LMF than as a LB.

He did ok for me for a player of his age though I am still trying to figure out where to fix him in the Super Eagles if i was Rohr.

Well, he needs to work on making impacts in games rather trying to impress with his skills.

Maybe because he played LMF he was unable to show his worth but I expected much from him.

I think he should play from the RB.

ChrisKels:
Lol this man U nogo kill me with laughter oo, katakata kwa? Am eagerly waiting for the list sha

Seriously I actually thought he was a Nigerian and I was always following his progress. Remember when he won Reading player of the year even as a full back. The guy I doubted his Nigerian link was Josh Onomah, until I saw Oghenetega as his middle name.

Please look into Josh Debayo of Leicester and brief me of his profile because I want our left back problem solved ASAP, pending when Jason Akiotu and Udochukwu Anumudu come of age.

Josh Onomah was also mistaken to be a Ghanaian on his profiles but sir Icon4s cleared the air about his heritage.

He is a pure naija boy and I have always made mention of him here.

About Josh Debayo, I have heard about him but I don't have much information about his talents.

I saw some of the Southampton-fc's U20 matches. I can not really say much about him but I know since he is in Leicester first team, he may be decent.

The other two you mentioned will take time before they get to limelight.

If I say I was impressed with Ola Aina's performance yesterday I dey lie.

Maybe because he played LB.


I want to see him play RB before I form my thought about him.

OLA AINA: CHELSEA'S NEXT NIGERIAN SUPERSTAR?

Could the 20-year-old defender emerge as a key figure in the Blues' backline?

COMMENT By Seye Omidiora

October 15 2016 was a special day for Chelsea Football Club , but it was extra special for one youngster in particular—Ola Aina—who finally made his Premier League debut for the club he’s been at since the age of 10.

Coming on as a substitute against Leicester City for the brilliant Victor Moses in the 80th minute, the London-born defender had finally fulfilled his dream of donning the royal blue jersey, and even though it was a ten-minute cameo, his mood couldn’t be dampened.

His journey through the youth ranks at Chelsea has been outstanding; following a trial, he made it into the U11s side as a boy, before progressing through the age groups and thereafter making his debut for the U18s in 2012, despite not yet being 16.

His performances for the youth side demonstrated his maturity, and suggested that the Anglo-Nigerian youngster had the potential to emerge as the long-term successor to John Terry.

Aina’s performances after he was promoted to the U21s were exemplary, as he helped them to the FA Youth Cup and Under-21 Premier League in 2013/2014.

The right-back’s displays in the first half of that season led to him signing his first professional contract on his 17th birthday and he was soon promoted to the first time while remaining a vital cog in the youth team that defended their FA Youth Cup and won the inaugural Uefa Youth League.


Aina’s reputation was burgeoning and Jose Mourinho opted to incorporate him into the senior side’s preseason ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He may not have made an appearance, but his experience of training with the seniors surely left him in good stead as he returned to the U21s.

During his time in the academy, his performances at both full-back positions and the odd appearance at center-back won him plaudits, and his versatility has seen him likened to teammate Cesar Azpilicueta.

Praised for his assuredness in possession, incredible pace, power and high energy levels—he is able to surge forward and make an impact.

In the modern game, full-backs have dual responsibilities—besides providing defensive solidity, they are expected to be a threat in the final third of the pitch by making forays from their defensive position to provide an extra attacking outlet—and this suits Aina’s style of play.

The arrival of Antonio Conte at Chelsea and his subsequent willingness to open the door to youth saw Aina heavily involved in pre-season as he featured in all of the Blues’ six games.

Even though his displays were occasionally raw, he did enough to convince his new manager to keep him in the squad for the current season—rather than sending him out on loan—a big vote of confidence, particularly considering that Chelsea have 38 players out on loan!

He made his debut in the second round of the EFL Cup against Bristol Rovers – playing 77 minutes before injury cut short his outing, and this was then followed by his aforementioned Premier League debut against Leicester City.

Conte’s switch to a back three could ultimately pave the way for Aina’s breakthrough, and his ability to play multiple positions could see him feature more often—primarily at wing back—as he did against West Ham United in the EFL on Wednesday, or even as a central defender in a back three.

In the loss to West Ham he was deployed at left wing-back and got forward at every opportunity, spending the majority of his time camped in the Hammers’ half. He delivered an encouraging showing defensively, tracking back to help his teammates when the team had lost possession of the ball, and all in all it was a satisfactory—if not eye-catching—display.

Ola Aina is emerging as a first-team player at Chelsea, and the current situation needs to be monitored by the Nigerian Football Federation, as it would be devastating to see such another talented youngster lost to England. Could another Chelsea player be donning the green of the Super Eagles imminently?!

ChrisKels:
Hahaha so u dey laf abi?? Next time surf ur Internet for more information. Dats by d way, how are u and ur household, I hope Jehovah bu Eze?

Ur boy (Ebuehi) seem to have been called up. Rohr must have been reading ur posts here secretly oo.

Keep it up sir but easy with arguments, na Dat one dey annoy me lol.

What do u make of Ogu's invitation (if he was truly invited) ? I think Rohr wanna see if he could do better as a left full back because I don't see him displacing any of our midfielders. A healthy Joel Obi would have been a better option IMO.

Hehehehe! The thing just surprise me because I had thought he was Nigerian for over 6 years because all his profiles showed he is of Nigerian heritage but to come hear say na Ugandan, I no first believe am, but wetin man pikin go do?

We thank God for em grace. He is the Lord.

If it is true then we have gotten ourselves a good coach because I can't understand why we keep inviting bench warmers and using make shift RB when we have enough RB players playing regularly for their clubs.

Now, you all can see that my arguments are not in vain.

The last time I saw John Ogu played, he was totally in control of the midfield against Inter Milan. In fact, I made comments on his performance the same day.

I think he can do the job even if Mikel is not playing.

At left full, e ku ku ma better make we leave Echiejile for there ooooooo else katakata go happen.


Joel Obi! Chai! Injury just wan finish this boy career but if he continues to play for his club then I think he deserves a call up. I don't think he should be used as a Lb because you will not be able to exploit his potentials at the midfield.

ChrisKels:
Lol sir Forgiveness nwoke ike (strong man). Hahaha u ain't got no chill at all. Person say him nobi 9ja man, and u dey here dey prove him wrong? I hail u brother!!

Hehehehe!

BascoVanVeli:
Mikel has said that Conte has been honest with him, even if Chalobah played a great match i still won't rate him over Mikel but Mikel has been told he can go so that means it would be better to use a young player instead of a guy on the way out. Lets just pray Mikel finds the right club but till then anything can happen in football.
Please take it easy on Conte at least for Moses sake.

Mikel's heart is on earning big do(money) outside Chelsea. It is the reason he has not signed a new contract.

joseph1013:
LOL. The guy say e no do, leave am na. Abi na by force to be Nigerian?

Hehehehe!

tbaba1234:
They probably just got it from ANS as well.. He has repeatedly made it clear that he is ugandan.

Hmmm! So, I have been following the progress of a Ugandan all these years.

Thanks.

tbaba1234:
He is not Nigerian, He is Ugandan...

Even Wikipedia claims 'Nigerian' but it is from the same false source AllNigeriansoccer.

What about the source I gave?

TheGoodJoe:

It is clearly the Olympics. Leave all that talk. Who plays Chalobah ahead of Mikel? That kid was atrocious today.

All Mikel had to do was fake an injury. Mikel was the bigger man. If Mikel was not in Conte's plan, he would not play Mikel in the Preseason while preparing for the EPL.

Did you watch the match?

tbaba1234:
Obita is not a Nigerian..

It was AllNigeriansooccer that started that news that he was Nigerian.. He has Ugandan heritage..

The boy dey lie.

chrisooblog:
i'm not surprised you would come up with this kind of silly comparisons. you want to compare taiwo to kaka and ronaldinho really? a football novice to ballon d'or winners? i tire for you.

ronaldinho was a resounding success in psg and barca. his time at ac milan though not stellar was above average. kaka was almost a walking deity when he was at ac milan. his time at real madrid though blighted by injuries was above average. unlike egbon taiwo who barely played 2 games for ac milan. even milan legend maldini questioned his signing.

elderson as poor as he is we won AFCON using him. how many did egbon taiwo win with nigeria after 3 attempts?

anyway i don't expect what i wrote to change your mind since he's a favourite of yours so let's just agree to disagree because i know you are the king of unnecessary arguments which i don't have time for today.

How can Taiwo a football novice win CAF young player of year? A defender for that matter.

How can Taiwo a 'football novice' win Ligue 1 team of the season tiree tiree (3x)?

How can Taye Taiwo a football novice win CAF team of the year tireee tiree (3x)?

Once one of the best left back in the world, thou callest a 'football novice'?

Oga, flop na flop. And as Ronaldinho and Kaka take shine for Barcelona and Ac Milan, na so Taiwo take shine for Marseille. The same way Ronaldinho and Kaka take flop for Milan and Real Madrid na so Taiwo take flop for Ac Milan.


EOD

TheSuperNerd:
Sir TheGoodJoe..... I seriously need to awaken from this coma... Come quickly and do what you must do oooo.... If you like, send that pretty lady u suggested like night.... This Oshaniwa over taiwo wan tie me here forever ooo... The coma too much abeg.... Pls, do something I pray thee....


I know you say it out of deep-sentimental preference but me no fit swallow am....


Abeg you and Yara Yara should help me recover... Haba!!! Two shockers in 24 hrs... First na Nacho be fox-in-the-box kinda striker then na this one... Una wan kill pesin?? *frowns*


Anyway shaa... Before I go into the "most critical stage" of the state of coma awaiting your "revival help", I just wanna say that there are certain Analysts here who I rate and respect a lot beyond all lines of agreements and disagreements....

Sir Joseph1013... He's a top analytical mind who loves to look at all sides. He doesn't drop much comments but when he does.... Hmmm... It's worth a read.

Sir Icon4s.... He's too experienced and "wise" for most of us. Sometimes, it's like he sees beyond what we see. Wetin else you expect from the chief guardian and elder of the halls of experience and history? **still remembers that experience vs Youth precocity debate** chaiii...

Sir BascoVanVeli.... This Oga sef... He's another respected voice in the house. Sometimes love to play the devil's advocate... all in all, his analysis is always worth a read too.

Sir Tbaba1234..... Drops comments in two or three lines... Sometimes... ONE LINE!!! Just legendary!!!!! It's amazing how someone gets to say so much and make so much sense in just one to four lines....

Sirs Terzurum5, Mickael2, Goldfish80, AIG07, Justiz5 and Madam Safarigirl must get really special mentions here..... I can't state all.... Pls this is no dig at anyone... This is actually about the moniker below who I wanna talk a little about.....


Finally....

Sir TheGoodJoe.... IS THERE A BETTER "DETAILED AND SUPER INFORMATIVE" ANALYST HERE IN THE HOUSE?? Hmmmm... It may be my own opinion but I DON'T THINK THERE IS. HE'S A BEAST ANALYST... THE BEST I'VE SEEN. Lawd!!!

Only thing be say he too like this Oshaniwa too much!!!! Even Forgiveness must be spoiling for a fight to attack that "oshaniwa better than taiwo" comment...

If you ask me, I go be the referee for that fight and truth is FORGIVENESS MUST WIN WITH A KNOCK-OUT...

EVERYONE HERE HAVE PREFERENCES BUT LET'S NOT MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS..... TheGoodJoe have always been clamouring for this oshaniwa. Well, na him sabi that one. WHAT ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR MANCITY?? CHAIIII... LEGENDARY!!! He loves them to a super fault... Looollll


Anyway, that's by the way.... No one can deny his analytical prowess.... I PERSONALLY RATE HIM THE FINEST ANALYST IN OUR MIDST ON NL SPORTS. I am sure there are several who agree....

......................................................................


Meanwhile.... I am still not recovered from the coma Sir GoodJoe..... You and Yara Yara and madam Confun berra do something... This is code-red....

For where you wan take knock out TheGoodJoe?

Em go dodge am or e go run.

TheGoodJoe:

This is not sentiments. It is the wing I played. I am left handed and footed. I faced brilliant wingers on amateur level. Just as in the last game, check back, many said Echiejile was okay. It was false. I watch that wing a lot.

I said, Taiwo could shoot and influence the attack. Read well before tagging me bias or sentimental.

I RATE OSHANIWA HIGHER THAN TAIWO.

This is due to what I believe is important. Clichy is one of my best left backs. Bellerin is one of my best right backs today.

The speed at which they run up and down the flanks is important to me. Not their attacking play.

Roberto Carlos was once the second best player in the World. Get that. Second best in the World. Rated higher than players like Raul and Kanu.

Yet, I rate Celestine Babayaro higher. I do not just follow popular demands. I judge myself.

The way Ronald De Boer skinned Carlos repeatedly in France 98, he would never do that against Celestine Babayaro.

Taiwo would not defend against Messi and Di Maria the way Oshaniwa did.

So, you did see how Messi ran away from Taiwo's wing in 2010 World Cup because of the way Taiwo restricted his play?

AIG07:
He futured Once @SA 2010. He was replaced by Echiejile after pulling an harmstring from a miskick(chai that shot wey skim past d upright-it was goal bound) in our first match against Argentina.

His Injury+keita's red were part f d reasons we couldn't make t to the next round.

Hmm! Was that match against Argentina or Greece?

I thought it was against Greece. He was replaced by Echiejile but after Echiejile came in, he also got injured and he was replaced with Afolabi.

That match was full of bad lucks.

Icon4s:
Lets even forget abt the U20 thing.
There was a point in time in Taye Taiwo's career when he was amomg the top 3 LBs in the world.

I can overlook the "Oshiniwa is better than Echiejile" talk but not this "Oshiniwa is better than Taye Taiwo" own.

I no wan bring all my joker once and that was why I started with U20 before I unleash the others.
