forgiveness leave story for wale adenuga productions. wilfred bony was dutch league top scorer few seasons back, top scorer for BPL side swansea yet iheanacho came from youth Man city team and displaced him. rooney nko? Man U and england captain, one of the all time highest goal scorers for both club and country. now he's chopping bench while rashford is shining in the first team. so my friend it's no excuse that the players solanke is competing with have more pedigree blah, blah, blah. if he's good enough he will displace them.

forgiveness sometimes ehn you amaze me. based on the stats of ajagun you have so kindly provided it's clear to see there is nothing remarkable about him. i mean he could only score 8 goals with 3 assists 67 matches in the effing greek league. GREEK LEAGUE!!! nitori Olorun! bros this your hype machine don breakdown *in orubebe voice* we wiii not take ittttttt!. you say the coach dey beef am but when you were shining teeth because a turkish journalist criticized the inclusion of musa mohammed in our squad list for zambia you didn't think the poor boy was a victim of similar beef. *singing in christian igbokwe's voice* ''this your double standard na ELELE, your hypocrisy na wa ya o''

tiago ilori yes showed promise in sporting lisbon but he has regressed of recent. to be honest haven't had of any rave reviews for him which leads me to the conclusion that he's just above average. if a new player is entering the super eagles he should be exceptional not above average replacing above average. yes players have to indicate willingness to represent nigeria. ikeme did, balogun did, iwobi did, moses did even alaba did before the nff bungled it then just to mention a few. nigeria has no time to go up and down begging players to play for us. awaziem has shown promise and he is young besides it's not as if he's already a key member of the super eagles.

it seems you are trying so hard to distort history as it plays.

First of all, Solanke was promoted to the main team by Mourinho after he bought Diego Costa, L. Remy, Cuadrado and Drogba for the 2014/2015 season and they didn't disappoint by helping Chelsea to win the league and the league cup. I repeat he was promoted after these players were bought and these players won two trophies for Chelsea. Unlike Man city and Man United who had problems with their strikers and won nader. grin

Since, Chelsea didn't have any problem with their strikers who won them the League, it was natural to retain them for the next season (2015/2016). So, if he was not good enough he would not have made Chelsea fc first team. Or do you sell your winning team? Chelsea's strikers won them two trophies while Man city and won nader, I say nader. grin

We know their strikers flopped big time this last season and this season hence the desperate need to try any dick and harry in that position. If it happened they were scoring goals left, right, back and center, Iheanacho and Rashford no go smell the bench. Was that not why Man City fans complained about the coach benching Iheanacho? grin

2015/2016 season, Chelsea decided to loan Solanke out because their striker don win dem medal last season and where inform. Nobody envisaged that Chelsea would fall last season. Even ya best player in Man City was sent on loan by Chelsea. Abi I lie. Meaning a loaning at Chelsea will definitely make Manchester City first team. grin

Abi I lie? Chai! grin

Abi De Bruyne no bi Chelsea reject? grin

ayaaa 'if De Bruyne was good enough he would have made the Chelsea reserves' Chai! grin

meaning he was not good enough for Chelsea. grin

Who knows if Dominic Solanke goes there, he would easily displace Aguero self. grin

Remember, Falcao and Pato came to Chelsea at the middle of the season because it was not possible to terminate Dominic Solanke's loan with Vitesse. Period!

And because he's good enough, they sold all the under performing strikers to make way for Dominic Solanke to fill the slot for the third striker position this 2016/2017 season. I mean 3rd (counting finger.. 1 2 3). We know the first two strikers are performing wella else you would have seen him play. So, relax. This is not Manchester City, 'This is Chelsea_F.C' We are no mate with mushroom club called Manchester City. Period! grin

Chai! I must have hit some fans nerves. grin

So, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah grin

Which double standard? I only reciprocated what was done to Ajagun when I said the coach beefed him. That matter was even before Musa Mohammed issue propped up. But most people said 'if he is good enough blah blah...' so, there is nothing like hypocrisy here. It is simply pay back time. Chikena! grin

everyone here is aware of what I am talking about. It is not a hidden secret. I did it intentionally.

You mean, Ajagun should have scored 40 goals before we know say em dey perform as a central midfielder and at times attacking midfielder? Bros, you sure say you know the position Ajagun plays? You sure say you know the responsibilities of a central midfield? You sure say, you fit diffentiate btw striker and goalkeeper, btw coach and central midfielder? grin

Maybe you know but you wan carry me play or you no truly know am. Oya, Google is ya friend.

Wetin you dey talk about Tiago Ilori make I here am well? Because with one side of ya mouth, you said 'he showed promise', 'he has regressed' with another side 'he is above average' grin

Hahaha!

Point of correction. Tiago Ilori also showed promise in Granada and Bordeaux. Meaning for good three seasons he was playing in top European leagues before he returned to Liverpool last season.

Why was he not approached? afterall some where approached. You know that.

Are you telling me average players plays regularly for top teams in top leagues in Europe?

Please, do not compare Tiago Ilori with the likes of Kenneth Omerue, Troost Ekong, Ali, Oboabona, and co because they are the epitome of above average. grin

They never played in the best leagues in the world while Tiago Ilori has done that. Fact!

Equating them with Tiago Ilori is out of place. Please, try again. grin

Where is Chuks Aneke these days? He's meant to be a monster midfielder. He was the best youth player at the Hale academy.

He was playing regularly for Zulte_Waregem but all of a sudden he stopped playing and then went to Milton_Keynes_Dons_F.C. He has not played a single match since he stopped playing for Zulte Waregem. I don't really know what is happening to him.

Prior to his transfer to Zulte Waregem he was doing well at Crewe.

I suspect injury.

tbaba1234:
Awaziem was a regular for Porto last Season, a top portuguese team. The main reason, he is playing for the B team this season is because the B team has been ravaged by injuries in the defence. He fully earned his call-up. He still has a lot to prove but he is pure quality.

For Solanke, he needs to show something as a striker. So far, he has not shown enough. There are better players in his position.

Ajagun did not neccessarily do MRI, there were no mandatory MRI tests in 2009. Besides, who will he replace in the midfield.

Do you mean he has not done enough to fully earn a call up despite playing regularly for three good seasons for top clubs? Or is he diluted quality?

Tiago Ilori was also a regular for Sporting Lisbon (top Portuguese team) and Bordeaux (a top ligue 1 team) for three good seasons but he was never approached while Awaziem played only in a season, the Oga at top quickly handed him an invitation. grin

So, why was he not invited when he was playing regularly?

Awaziem is playing for Porto's team B but he is getting noticed but Tiago who is also playing in Liverpool team B is not regarded as anything. Why?

Solanke was better than some of the players we have at one point but he was never invited even though he showed interest. Why? I only clamoured for him to play for the Olympics and not the National team. So, nobody should get it twisted.

Was there MRI during the days of Siasia, Kanu, Okocha, Amuneke, etc? Age doesn't matter. Who will he replace when he has not been given the chance to do so?

How many natural attacking midfielder do you have in that team?

chrisooblog:
forgiveness o easy with this your boboing .

dominic solanke has always been a promising talent at chelsea but the way you are hyping him like he's the second coming of pele/ronaldo/maradona rolled into one. he played UCL so what? even yaya sanogo don play UCL. if he was that great then why has his parent club chelsea continued to loan him out for remy off all players, finished falcao, old drogba ati bebe lo. if he could not displace these aforementioned players then i question why you want to push such a player into our national team.

ajagun i rate abit but stop making it seem as if he is tearing it up at the moment in eredevise. his stint at panathanikos was above average if not he would not have been frozen out of their first team before being sold. plus age wise i dey suspect anyone pre-MRI who has played in nigerian league. at the moment they are not many players he would displace in the super eagles but he deserves a call up at least to prove himself.

tiago was a bright prospect but he hasnt really cut it yet. didn't even get to play a single league match for liverpool so i don't understand the way you are hyping him plus has he shown interest to play for nigeria?

i'm all for inviting fresh talents but not all of them can be called at the same time. inevitably some will slip through the cracks. brazil as great and organised as they are they missed out on diego costa, tiago motta etc so these things.

' Remy of all player' shocked

, 'finished Falcao' shocked

, 'old Drogba' shocked

. Now I know you are joking, right! grin

If he could not displace Remy, an established striker in the Ligue 1 and premier-league with double digits goals prior to his coming to Chelsea? grin

If he could not displace finished Falcao who is currently the captain and no one striker of Monaco?

If he could not displace Drogba who was not part of the 2015/2016 season? grin

And you even said 'such kind of players'. shocked

Woah! Just like that? grin

Point of correction. Dominic Solanke was only loaned out last season but he was a squad player in the 2014/2015 season and this season. He is the third striker. So, there is nothing like 'continued to loan him out'

Like I said, make una continue with 'if he's good enough' grin

and una go change am to '...

Do you mean Ajagun who played 27 out 34 league matches in his first season with 4 goals and 28 league matches out of 34 in his second season with 4 goals and 3 assist and 12 out of 17 league matches last season before he was sent on loan at middle of the season, stink at Panathinaikos-fc 'above average'?

Panathinaikos-fc never sold him. He was rather sent on loan and it is because of the new coach.

About his age, didn't he do' MRI?

Awaziem have not cut it yet but he has been invited to play for the senior team while Tiago Ilori who had played for Sporting Lisbon, Granada and Bordeauxs has not been invited. Maka why? He has played 3 matches for Liverpool too. Showing interest to a country that is not interested in you!? grin

As you can see, they are not what you think they are.

That said, who are they and why should they be invited?

There is nothing like anybody. These are players who have got talent to play for top clubs.

Besides, I am saying invite them for friendlies and that's all.

I don't see this battle as only Tinubus' affair, I see it as a battle against the South West and it's people. The battle to dethrone and enthrone a new Emperor but unfortunately it is an effort to stylishly and forcefully enthrone an Emperor from the North to rule and decide the affairs of the South Westerns from the North.

To achieve this their aim, they presumed to bring down Tinubu alongside his empire using panoply of south Westerns traitors to disguise and confuse the Westerns.

Because it is glaring that they will be used, dumped and destroyed without remedy.

If they have succeeded in shaken Tinubu Who has a solid foundation how would Fashola, Fayemi, Ajumobi, Amosun fair without a solid political foundation?

Is it Fayemi who lost election in Ekiti after his first tenure, Ajumobi who almost lost in Oyo state, Amosun who was not able to win the votes of the Ijebus and Remos, or Fashola who was not able to win ordinary state Governorship primary for his candidate?

It is glaring that these men are only willing to bring down Tinubu due to hatred of the past and nothing more. They are doing it without thinking about the consequences it will bring to the South Westerns.

It is time for the south Westerns to think twice and rally behind Tinubu to give him all the support needed in this trying times rather than casting aspiration on him.

Without Tinubu Who will lead the South Westerns?

History is about to play itself again. The Afonja thing.

Travel › Re: Extortion Of Nigerians At Seme Border by forgiveness: 3:53pm On Sep 26, 2016

The cause of this illegality and impunity are THE NIGERIAN IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOM officials. They are the perpetrators of what is happening at the borders.

They are vampires and parasites leeching their innocent preys dry.

If the Nigerian immigration officers are able to illegally extort money from their own citizens then what do expect they do to other ECOWAS citizens? They make sure they suck dem dry, leaving them in penury.

They humiliate and mistreat them as if they are animals or rejected lepers.

So, what do you expect other neighbours to do than to follow suit, and since, they have heard countless reports of how our immigration humiliated and badly treated their fellow men and women hence they reciprocate with vengeance.

Culsy they begins at home. Nigerian government should at first direct our immigration officers to respect Nigerians then respect their neighbours by following the rules of what.

One day, I go send somebody to video this illegality across the borders. At least, when one is made a scapegoat, others will desist from it.

Ta! you never for one day advocated for the inclusion of Iwobi, Ekong or Simon.

See the list of players you have been clamouring for: Dominic Solanke, Abdul Ajagun, Raheem Lawal,Tiago Ilori, Moses Odubajo, Nurudeen Orelesi, Sadiq Umar, Nura Abdulahi,
Olanrewaju Kayode, Juwon Oshaniwa, Rabiu Ibrahim, Kenedy Otigba, Brain Idowu and recently Joel Asorock and Joshua Majekfashek . Abi I lie?

Now, let us analyse these players one by one to see if they really deserve an invitation to any of our national teams.

Dominic Solanke had already played in the UEFA Champions League when some players are still learning how to say 'tata', he sat on Chelsea_F.C' s bench as substitute on their way to win the EPL when some players are still doing frog jump in the academy. He has played and scored goals in the Eredivisie and currently he is the third striker of Chelsea fc. (I clamoured for his invitation to the Olympics)

Abdul Ajagun was an important member of the U17 team that placed second and the U20 team of 2011 and 2013(as a captain) that finished as quarter finalist and in the 2nd round respectively. He flourished in both competitions while some flopped as they progressed to the U20. He won the NPFL with Dolphin and won with Panathinaikos-fc. But till now, no call while you are still hyping some players in the Scandinavian and second division league. Maka why? He is playing regularly in the Eredivisie.

Tiago Ilori played in the best clubs in Portugal which Sporting Lisbon. It is in the same league with whom you clamoured for and still 'clamoring' for even though he has been relegated to the feeders team this season. He did not stop there, he proceeded in the best league in the world with Granada and later Bordeaux. He is a Liverpool player. The same you said his not as good as Ndidi even when Ndidi was still warming the bench while Tiago had already played with the best in the world. shocked

why has he not been called when he was inform of his life? Or this is not 'your' kind of player? grin

Naija we know na. grin

Bobby is no doubt a great talent but Samuel Chukwueze is no slouch. We will get better at this aspect but Africa as a whole needs to step up. If i were to honestly advice a young player i would have to remind them that they would be missing in January and to some that could be a deal breaker. We just simply need to move the AFCON. Imagine Pep and Wenger having to do without Iheanacho and Iwobi, that could spoil their season.

Hmm! I got ya point. I think CAF has to do some adjustments.

Premier League Wrap : Iheanacho Benched; Anichebe Debuts; Robson-Kanu Subbed In; Ejaria, Ojo, Asoro, Maja Absent; Dele, Barkley Log 90 Minutes

Published: September 24, 2016

Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent on match day six in the English Premier League on Saturday, September 24.

England U21 international Jordon Ibe started and played 71 minutes of the contest for the home team.

At Anfield, Ovie Ejaria, Sheyi Ojo and Tiago Ilori were absent as Liverpool registered a comfortable 5-1 win against Moses Odubajo’s Hull City. Odubajo is still recovering from injury.

Tottenham Hotspur continued their unbeaten run thanks to their 2-1 win at Middlesbrough. Spurs number 20 Dele Alli put in a full shift and teammate Josh Onomah was not selected.

Over to the Stadium of Light, Victor Anichebe made his competitive debut for Sunderland who went from 2-0 up to lose 3-2 to Crystal Palace. The Nigeria international hopped off the bench in the 86th minute .

If The coach wanna call a replacement, he'll do it... Otigba is one I have also held good grounds for. He's good... Very good.
But wait first let Rohr make the decision...

I know u would prefer Omeruo or Troost to be injured also to drive home a point. Not cool man... Not cool at all....

Bros, I have experienced how we could not progress in the world cup because of injury and lack of competent replacement.

2010 and 2014 world cups come to mind.

In 2010, we never envisaged any injury but it happened. Likewise, the last world cup.

What I am saying is, in football anything can hence we must have quality and reliable replacement for each positions.

Iwobi was awarded the man of the match and he didn't even finish the game.

Now that we are benefitting from this foreign grown player, many people have forgotten how they castigated me for demanding for their injection into the national team.

Thank God he didn't slip from our hand like Alaba, Dele Alli and Ross Barkley.

I hope Sheyi Ojo and little Messi(Bobby Adekanye) are given the opportunity to play for their fatherland.

Bobby Adekanye was rejected by Emmanuel Amuneke but I can't see any any player in his team as good as him.

Alright bro. Nice to meet here again after the closure of kickoffnigeria.

I was one of the warlords fighting SAs, Ghanaians and some Ethiopian wannabes. It really was nasty but fun then. Oh! How badly I miss those days. Collynzo2 and I even took it as far as Ghanasoccernet.com bashing Ghanaians when Iheanacho and Co were dismantling teams enroute the UAE.

I had always avoided those fights like plague but I always read the comments.

BAD NEWS: Nigeria Loses Key Player Leon Balogun To Injury Ahead Of Zambia Clash
[/size]
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to take on Zambia without key central defender Leon Balogun who pulled out injured early during Mainz 05 clash against Bayern Leverkusen.

Regarded as the back bone of the newly assembled defence of new coach Gernot Rohr, his absence will no doubt create a huge vacuum in the Nigerian defence.

Balogun went off injured in the 9th minute with what looked like a suspected hamstring injury which will keep the dependable defender out for at least two weeks.

He is one of the leaders in the Nigeria defence, initially filling in at right back before being converted to a centre back where he distinguished himself in Nigeria’s last game against Tanzania.

Nigeria will on October 9 begin their campaign to be at the 2018 World Cup in Russia with a tie against Zambia in Ndola, in a group that also has Cameroun and Algeria.

Exclusive: Ikeme Remains Super Eagles No. 1 Goalkeeper - Agu
[/size]
By Augustine Akhilomen

Ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia, Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer, Alloy Agu has thrown his weight behind the team's goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme despite reports of a possible recall of Vincent Enyeama to the squad.

The senior national team have been relying on Ikeme since making an impressive appearance in his debut match against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania in Dar es Salaam in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in 2015 under former boss, Sunday Oliseh.

Enyeama who was regarded as one of Nigeria's best goalkeepers, retired from the round leather game due to an unfriendly relationships with Oliseh. The former captain was in goal as Nigeria won their third Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 and also part of the team to the 2014 World Cup where the team lost to France 2-0 in the round of 16.

Although there have been rumours of a possible return to the Super Eagles by the technical adviser of the team, Genort Rohr in a bid to beef up the goalkeeper department, however, Agu told Soccernet.com.ng that Ikeme still remains the choice of the technical crew ahead of the their World Cup qualifying clash against Zambia in Lusaka on October 9.

"There is no argument that Vincent Enyeama is a quality goalkeeper anytime and anyday.

During his time with the team he was always at his best. However, our attention is focused on Carl Ikeme who has done a good job since the retirement of Enyeama," Agu told Soccernet.com.ng.

"It will be unfair to start comparing the two goalkeepers because I don't think that's necessary. What's paramount at this level is that Ikeme still remains the safest hands of the Super Eagles and I can assure you that barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll be in goal against Zambia in the World Cup qualifier on October 9."

Coach, we have discovered another goalkeeper in the French league. His name is Jonathan Ligali. He plays for Montpellier in the Ligue 1.

Please, extend invitation to him for a friendly match. Thanks

In other words he is not good enough u think,well think again. cos he is real top quality. If an obscure club in turkey decided to destroy one of our promising talents, we r not going to allow that to happen, we will continue to invite him until a good club that appreciate quality found him. That journalist should stay off our team biz and focus on his career.

No! In other words, as una talk before 'if he is good enough, he would have been playing regularly for his team'.

Now, you said he said our promising talent, what about Sani Emmanuel and Ramon Azeez that won golden ball and bronze ball respectively?

Why haven't dey been called until better club comes for them?

Even Ajagun had performed well in all the age group competition but it doesn't count to some people.

TheGoodJoe:

You will not say that when the club released Ajagun that most of us said he would easily seal a deal with another club.

You make it look like the writings were all negative. My main guy Aluko who two weeks ago was in the Championship Team of the Week is not there. I did not complain.

I am a supporter of Oshaniwa but I did not complain. I believe the coach and his team will look into all and select the best that suits him.

Who are the 'those'? I will like to know them.

I don't think Aluko stands any chances of getting a call up because he is in a lower league and we have better options.

That is the best words to use' that suits dem'
