Super Eagles Only Out-And-Out Left Back Suffers Training Ground Injury

Super Eagles Only Out-And-Out Left Back Suffers Training Ground Injury
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Monaco loanee Elderson Echiejile could not complete the Super Eagles first training session held at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The left back twisted his ankle as he tried to stop the ball during the first practice game that involved four players on each side, and laid on the pitch injured before he was attended to by Super Eagles medical team.

Manager Gernot Rohr had to call for a break and Echiejile was replaced by Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi when the session resumed.

For about twenty minutes, an ice pack was wrapped around the defender's ankle before it was removed by the physiotherapist.

The severity of Echiejile's ankle injury has not been determined yet as he managed to wear his boots and took part in a stretching exercise after the second practice game.

Whilst Echiejile is the only out-and-out left back named by Rohr in his 23-man roster, Ola Aina, who was not sighted at today's training session, can also operate in that role, though he is right-footed and predominantly thrives as a right back.

Thank God.

Sadly Nigeria is tethering toward that level...

Nigeria FG / Army is overestimating their strength... tackling US, UK and EU...

insisting IPOB are terrorists is a pure indication that this people are so desperate for war.

You can't compare Nigeria's case to what's happening in Cameroon.

This is a video of Nigeria's prime Minister in 1961, on his visit to the U.S urging the U.S to help Africa by supporting the independence of the other African countries colonized. Watch and see the respect shown to him then.

Misguided and religiously brainwashed kenyans are just religious fanatics. Its not a FLOOD. The migration and associated crimes of human trafficking taking place in the Sahara is one. A huuuuge sick crisis. FYI all Islamic cocomentals have members drawn from across the world. That's why indonesian and Dagestan (majority Muslim province of Russia ) have got fighters in alshabab or boko boys or IS and alqaeda. Nothing new. Most of Nigeria's large GDP is locked up in oil production statistics and is skewed. 65 or 70bn $ for 48 mn people is phenomenal given we don't have any mineral or oil, or rather, at least until 2012 we didn't. Even the massive oil wealth of Nigeria hasn't driven the growth expected of her since independence. Instead, it has enriched the Diezani types who charter flights to go and flock Harrods and Marks and Spencer in London with moneybags all the while giving a false impression of a wealthy country.
If you want to engage me properly, can we start a mini discussion about how the Nigerian "economy " has impacted west Africa since the 60s? How would you rate Nigerian influence on economic growth of West Africa countries as juxtaposed with how kenya is a magnet in East Africa or south Africa is in the southern Africa region? Egypt too has immense influence on the surrounding region and that includes Israel too. Whither Nigeria in West Africa.
Am open to a a serious engagement on this, no emotions.

In Nigeria’s Afro-centric foreign policy, the West African Sub-region remains the first line of implementation. Given the vast size, natural, economic and human resources, large market drive, Nigeria perceives itself as having an historic mission to exercise hegemonic influence in the West African Sub-region and indeed, the black world. Her economic strength and the high level of human resources at her disposal have allowed her a measure of autonomy in the pursuit of Africa’s genuine interests in global politics. This can be seen in her role in the Organization for African Unity, which later metamorphosised into the African Union (AU), other sub regional groupings such as Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Chad Basin Commission and Commonwealth of Nations. The role that Nigeria has played in various international organizations over the years has been proactive, especially in the AU. Nigeria has vigorously articulated and consistently defended African concerns and interests as a member of various international organizations. She has used this platform to champion the interests of Africa in the true spirit of Pan- Africanism. That is why in recognition of her struggles and contribution to the elimination of colonialism, apartheid and racism she was categorized as a “Frontline State”. In line with her leading role in the AU and ECOWAS, Nigeria has been supportive of these organizations in the area of conflict resolution. The framework for this has been provided in Article III of the Charter which commits the AU to peaceful settlement of disputes by negotiation, mediation, conciliation or arbitration. Nigeria’s participation in peace keeping efforts is a manifestation of its concern and regard for the need to give priority and clear expression to the value of the bond which forms part of history of all Africans, particularly those who inhabit the West Coast of the continent. Nigeria had the largest contingent in the ECOMOG peace keeping force, committing huge human and financial resources to the activities of the force. Nigeria continuously plays crucial mediatory roles in crisis situations among African countries and the rest of the international community. Her contributions towards peace and stability in Africa are unparalleled. Specifically, she has participated in peace keeping operations in the Chad, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Cote d’ Ivoire, Somalia and Darfur in Sudan, to mention a few. Among the immediate challenges facing Nigeria as a leading country in the African continent, is resolving the many conflicts raging on the continent. Nigeria and indeed the entire West African region have devoted considerable human, material, political and diplomatic resources to the resolution of the crises in the sub-region, starting far back with Liberia and then to Chad, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Angola and more recently the Darfur crisis, to mention a few.


[b]Within the West African Sub region, successive administrations in Nigeria have [/b]ensured the promotion of cooperation with other African nations in all fields of human endeavour through economic exchanges and regional integration of members. This has been achieved through deployment of more Technical Aide Corps (TAC) volunteers whose services have been in high demand by other countries to assist in the areas of their manpower needs. In specific terms, there have been considerable integration through sharing Nigeria’s know-how and expertise with other African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries; Promotion of integrated infrastructure in the West African sub-region; Establishment of the ECOWAS free trade area; Promotion of sub regional (ECOWAS) Economic integration; Establishment of the Ministry of Cooperation and Integration (which was later subsumed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs); Establishment of the Second West African Monetary Zone; Complete eradication of all rigid border formalities; Adoption of a common ECOWAS Passport; Establishment of ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (TLS); Establishment of the ECOWAS Court of Justice; and Promotion of sub regional peace and security initiatives.

The African Development Bank Group has two other entities: the African Development Fund (ADF) and the Nigeria Trust Fund (NTF).

Also check out the Africa's development Bank, Nigeria is the highest share holder....


The AfDB is controlled by a Board of Executive Directors, made up of representatives of its member countries. The voting power on the Board is split according to the size of each member's share, currently 60%-40% between African (or "regional" countries and “non-regional” member countries (“donors”). The largest African Development Bank shareholder is Nigeria with nearly 9 percent of the vote. All member countries of the AfDB are represented on the AfDB Board of Executive Directors.

Dr. Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina is the 8th elected [1] President of the African Development Bank Group], having taken the oath of office on September 1, 2015. He chairs the Boards of both the African Development Bank and the African Development Fund. Dr. Adesina served as Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development from 2011 to 2015.

Member governments are officially represented at the AfDB by their Minister of Finance, Planning or Cooperation who sits on the AfDB Board of Governors. The AfDB Governors meet once a year (at the Annual Meetings of the AfDB each May) to take major decisions about the institution’s leadership, strategic directions and governing bodies. The Governors typically appoint a representative from their country to serve in the offices of the AfDB’s Board of Executive Directors.

Day-to-day decisions about which loans and grants should be approved and what policies should guide the AfDB’s work are taken by the Board of Executive Directors. Each member country is represented on the Board, but their voting power and influence differs depending on the amount of money they contribute to the AfD

tsdarkside:
look....facts remains you kenyans or south africans have no major trade centers like in lagos or egypt.....their are only 2 major trade centers in africa....

I tell you, only Cairo compares to Lagos, this is why Egypt is the second largest economy in Africa.

samsobo24:
we have told them,we are not yet there but bigger than them,they won't listen
Sometimes, I am marvelled sometimes about Nigeria, we are still battling with many problems such as power,yet our manufacturing industry is one of the most largest,many like that makes me no Nigeria is God's own

Anyone who visits Lagos would know why this is so. The entrepreneurial spirit is second to none. During my stay in Apapa Lagos 2005, we went out to buy Suya even at 2a.m, and l still marvel at the crowd and trading outside even at such odd hours.

First read this article on Nigeria's treaty with Liberia, on both defense training, scholarships offered and the economy. If you don't know something, you say you don't know.

Nigeria is thelargest telecommunications market in Africa and the Middle East.

telecommunications gave us a boost and not oil

Even the lane man on the street of Kenya knows that Nigeria 's entertainment is one of the largest in the world and second largest film industry in the world.

Manufacturing, fastest growing sector

Should we talk about religious tourism

ICT

Our manufacturing PMI this month is also way higher than all African countries, even higher than Brazil, yet the Kenyans here keep singing oil; oil, oil. You can't blame them though, blame the federal Government for depending almost solely on it for revenue with one of the lowest taxes in the world and lowest in Africa.

talk2percy:
They will start preparations at the eleventh hour and expect them to perform wonderful miracle against those that started preparations on time...nonsense.

Well they keep doing it because the girls keep winning. But the girls keep winning only because the talents abound, they forget there's a limit talent ALONE can take you.
Africa is growing in female football and the falcons are not at the level they should be at the world stage, but it seems the Glass House doesn't care.

texazzpete:
And why should the FG recognize him for constructing a toy?

Let a private toy company in Nigeria consider him for employment. Or someone can sponsor him to study fine arts in a university. But everything in Nigeria does NOT have to get Government sponsorship or recognition.

In Nigeria, federal Government must be mentioned in everything.

Jolar101:
And those who don't know are governed him in Nigeria.

Any child in China did this, he or she is already taken by government to make good use of his talents in the right place without so called school certificate.


Let there be a referendum for Biafra restoration and every other regions to go separate ways; let know who's who.

Nothing is stopping Biafra from excelling now.

Esseite:
Really?

Travel more.. 30years ago we were on same scale with china, 30 years ago we dwarfed a lot of nations with wealth.. 30 years later?

You're shifting the arguement. That's a different issue entirely.

Esseite:
All you said up there dont make a country, they are more to cajole a country..

When we talk america... freedom come to mind
When we talk Nigeria.... what comes to kind?

What freedom in America? Are the blacks in America free? Abeg guy leave da tori jor.

NairobiWalker:
Even at 405 B it makes no sense. 20B is a mere 5% of 405. No way a country with 405B GDP can fail to finance a 20B budget.
You sound a little intelligent. Stop being like Obagay-ass

PS......

All countries have an informal sector that's unaccounted for......Especially third world countries. Another case of viewing yourself as unique over normal things.

You are not getting it and this would be a non stop arguement, so forget about it. Like l said your mistake is in comparing Naija to Kenya.
Our informal sector is also way too large to be compared with that of Kenya. Our GDP has been reinstated again and again by the lMF and the bodies that matter, and of course it would be foolish to compare even the economy of Lagos with all its activities to Kenya, let alone Nigeria. Common, that's an insult, it's the reason many Nigerians are ashamed of this arguement.

kwametut:
What businesses DRUGS Listen fool if you google biggest banks in Africa you will see SA banks topping the list our banks alone are worth over $600 billion.

You can search for those businesses yourself, l have no time for dimwits.

NairobiWalker:
Educate your friend on that. All in all, I still think the Nigeria GDP figures don't add up. I could excuse the low budget figures but low figures yet with a deficit? That's just a no. I can't see how a country that claims to have a GDP as high as $594B in some years can fail to finance a $20 B GDP whether they're dependent on oil or not.

Maybe during the recession from early 2015, but it's not surprising if the tax to GDP is the lowest in Africa. There's no way the statistics can be cooked to fool everyone, it only stems from your own delusional comparison of Kenya to Nigeria.
Kenya is way too small, and even from a long time ago in the nineties, Nigeria was already way above 150 Billion dollars, and of course you would expect this for a population her size, and of course with the large informal sector, some posit the nominal GDP is even much higher than 500Billion dollars.
Note that our GDP is no longer 594 Billion dollars but now around 405 Billion dollars.

kwametut:
Joburg and Cairo lead AFRICA when it comes to MONEY.

Majority of Nigerian businesses are not listed in the stock exchange. This has always been a well known fact.

TobiTobiTobiWhy:
According to Wikipedia Nigeria has 13 slums while kenya has 35 slums.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slums

And Yet Kenya has a smaller landmass than Nigeria, can you imagine.

NairobiWalker:
Dude, the links you're posting are of Budget deficit. Nigeria's budget deficit is bigger than Kenya's. It simply means Kenya is more capable of funding it's budget than Nigeria yet has a bigger budget than Nigeria. Gives me more reason to doubt your GDP figures.

its not about the gdp figures but about the dependence of Goverment revenues on oil, and we get nothing more than 60 Billion dollars from oil in total. Tax is almost non existent in Nigeria especially from many informal sectors.

moninuola65:
that's the political hide-out!
it difficult for people to see it!
All the way and form of restructure indicated to increased state fund!
Restructure Fund
how can people sure this increase will be well manage than before?

Increasing state fund has never been the arguement, rather the clamour has always been to stop the sharing formula.

kwametut:

OPENING THE GAP BETWEEN US AND THEM EVERY SECOND...

Stop spamming this thread, no one ever compared development in Nigeria to southafrica, the arguement has always been... without the white man, would it be another Zimbabwe or no?

moninuola65:
yah,
but how can we agitating to add RESTRUCTURE FUND to their ill gotten wealth?

From what l understand, l don't think there's anything called restructure fund, rather what people are saying is that states should find ways to generate their own income. No one said anything about restructure fund.

OjukwuWarBird:
I didn't see the use of Spanish military

As for Madrid, they are wasting their time as I foresee EU sanctioning Spain and Spain withdrawing from EU and ending up in crisis

Does EU have that right? Spain is a Sovereign nation and are to take care of their internal issues.

nwaanambra1:
una go kill us tire!



buhari has committed the worst blunders that has fueled the agitation - we that hates kanu has automatically take over the agitation.

you cant silence us by intimidating and killing us!


this time its no longer kanu thing!

its a now a call for the entire igbo race to rise up and say no to oppression!


FROM NEXT WEEK THERE WILL MASSIVE AND UNSTOPPABLE PROTEST IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH EASTERN STATES!

LETS SEE HOW MANY OF US THEY CAN KILL!

And the question remains.. What oppression are you talking about?

Bede2u:
why do u guys come to d old eastern region, make money and run back to d west. Why have u refused to reinvest were u feed? Many yorubas are oil magnates living in lagos. Does lagos have oil? Why not live were u make ur money if u are not hate filled. Even buhari doesnt knw exactly d location of his ph plot of land. Its only igbos that mingle freely in dis country and u guys charge us highly for dat. Sell us property very costly (cos we are non-indegenes) and destroy it at the slightest ethnic tension. Just becos a cartoonist from Denmark drew a caricature of muhammed, our love filled brothers up north killed many igbos and/or destroyed their life sweat. Lol u all loves abi? Na only us hate una. I remember how many igbos were killed in lagos because IBB nullified Abiolas mandate. Lol. We are not just okay to each other in this country

Why not separate ethnic crises from religious crises? Why mix them up together?
How many lgbos were killed in Lagos because of Abiola and for what reason? We all wanted Abiola including the lgbos, so why would only lgbos be killed in Lagos?
You are right about lgbos investing more in Lagos than the Yoruba's invest in South East, the fact is that for some reason everyone wants to invest more in Lagos, maybe due to her more favorable location.

Icon4s:
What do you call a player that struggled in Europe over his first 5-7 seasons and then started scoring goals all of a sudden? And then went on a goals draught also all of a sudden? Odion Ighalo was a flash in the pan there bro.

Same goes for Emmanuel Emenike.

When last did Ighalo score for Nigeria before the Cameroon game? I will not be shocked if Ighalo resumes on his Super Eagles goals draught (God forbid though).

Personally l would also love to see Anthony play or at least come in for lghalo at some point.

Amarabae:
I would have been very happy if Igbos were merged to cameroun!

You may have your wish though.

Ladyjumong:
yeah, em okay with the biafra agitation buh i dnt like how who is leading at the moment is going about it.

the info em trying to pass to u is that if the FG can negotiate with bokoharam to get rescue chibok girls despite harms they have cause.
why cant the same be done with NK.

I think the target is to get the Chibok girls out alive. But what do l know?

Ladyjumong:
how about negotiating with NK in order to understand what warranted the agitation nd where their anger is coming from. cus i sure no that a cause led to the agitation.

yeah the way he was going about it throwing insult here nd there wasnt cool buh same can also be attributed to the bokoharam. why cant the same be applied with NK if the want the agitation to melow down

BokoHaram's agitation started around 2002, and there was some negotiation going on from Obasanjo but they were quiet adamant on their demands to abolish Western education.
Government however took them lightly after that until they grew and then in 2009 whilst creating problems, Yar Adua killed their leader Yusuf Muhammed. Still federal Government took them lightly until 2012.
Military was involved in this only in 2012, by then it was too late.
Agitations should be done legally and properly not with Nnamdi Kanu abusing everybody and setting ethnic groups against each other.
I also condemn the federal Government now for not looking into the Herdsmen issue quickly.

Crystolexy:
Talking nonsense, how does it sound to your hearing nogotiating with your deadly devilish blood sucking demon brothers ? Terrorist! Real enemy of the state

Read again carefully...Negotiating with BokoHaram IN ORDER TO GET THE GIRLS OUT ALIVE.
