No it hasn't. She's literally the most effective when it comes to hold-up play in the team now. She wins a lot of duels too. Her challenge has always been pace amongst a few others.

Well physicality is more than just hold up play but aggression in addition to hold up play. Ability to doggedly shove off defenders or bulldoze your way through.

Can Onumonu do this while running with the ball? I agree her hold up play is excellent?

lovewins:
Baba no be height, it's just fact and yours not basing anything you're saying on objective fact. The closest to objectivity (not always perfect) is ratings these players get in games. Just check EA sports ratings and the distance between Ify and Esther's physicality ratings is far. You obviously know they check years of records before reaching decisions on ratings. Their is no way Esther trumps Ify on physicality/athleticism. On this one you're wrong.

But I thought physicality has always been Onumonu's weakness?

hedonido:
"Financialism" kill you there. Tinubu's billions can recruit many jobless, "well educated" idiots like you to deceive the unwary, but the truth never changes.

I can't dignify any bastard who purports to be 'neutral' but still supports Tinubu. You animals are worse than Satan. Get lost.

I never said I was neutral. My point is: I rather vote Portable as president than vote Atiku or Obi.

nonhuman:
so you believe tinubu is better than obi even up till now, did you even follow their campaigns at that time

Yes I did. Did you?

If you did, why pick Obi?

MEEVEET:
Lol tinubu worked in the treasury of where? Lmao when did a mere auditor in a company become treasury worker

Bros Zambian economy is doing very well compared to Nigeria

You want to compare obi to tinubu as in what?

Name one business or company tinubu had before joining politics

Name one international body that has invited tiny but to speak on economics

Even that drug document you guys love to quote already put Tinubu's occupation in 1993 as Treasurer in Mobil except you are saying the drug court document from U.S in 1993 is false.

Go and find out about Zambian economy. Don't argue on what you know nothing about. How can an economy that has given up and it's only hope is IMF restructuring be doing well than Nigerian economy? The Zambian economy is practically bankrupt with no other hope than IMF restructuring.

Go to 2012, where the Democrats in U.S invited Tinubu to speak on his book "Financialism: Drawing water from an empty well". There he was invited to speak on his economic ideology based on his book. Jesse Jackson was also present there as they launched the book. In another event he went to the U.S to speak on Democracy.

If you don't know, ask.

MEEVEET:
Zambian currency is the best performing currency in Africa

Zambia economy is doing relatively well, he restructured their debts created more room to grow

Give him 5 years he would cook

Tinubu don't even know how economics works

Zambian economy was doing well because of hope by investors that IMF would soon get involved with restructuring of their debts. China refused to restructure recently and everything came crashing down. Now the currency is weakning and inflation is spiking.

You say Tinubu knows nothing about economics but if I tell you to bring a book written by Obi on economics, I'm sure you can't. Yet there are two out there by Tinubu.

Same Tinubu who worked as a Treasurer in Mobil and Governed Lagos. So what makes you think Obi knows economics better than Tinubu? What is the evidence?

The first state to start trading Eurobonds in Nigeria was Lagos under the influence of Tinubu.
LIRS in Lagos under Tinubu was as good as FIRS.

There's nothing to show that Obi is more versatile on matters of economics than Tinubu. Nothing, just your gut feelings.

MEEVEET:
Obi certainly won't have wasted money on so many things tinubu has wasted money on that's the first thing first

Correct. But that's just one aspect of Governance. For example, Malawi and (especially) Zambian presidents are not wasting money but their economic situation is getting worse.

With the Zambian president, the people love his austerity and he gives the right optics but it hasn't solved their economic situation.

Don't get me wrong: I am against the wasteful spending of Tinubu so far but austerity as a stand alone measure is not all there is to Governance.

Nonny95:
A post from Otunba. Lmao, the jobless Yoruba boy abroad. Una no go kill me for this platform.

My dear, you're a Tinubu Supporter for you to even reference Otunba 😂😂

Whatever. The fact remains: Choosing Obi does not mean with him there would be a better Nigeria.

Kepukepu:
Even if God comes down and contest as Nigerian president, tribalism will still prevail.

You can't get it

This is a post from Otunba on Twitter and he is spot on.

"Stop coming with tribal stuffs here! Sodiq supported Atiku despite he’s Yoruba! I have Yoruba friends who supported Obi and you support Atiku!
I don’t believe in those guys… it’s got nothing to do with Tribe bro!
Tinubu stands out… is it Obi that can’t control Obi supporters here that will fix Nigeria?? Ordinary Twitter d0gs or Atiku who is old and waiting for David Hundeyin to give him fake stories before he can host press conference? I don’t need such men! For the fact I am hungry does not mean I will call a cow “egbon”
We need leaders not all these fake politicians who are just benefiting from mistakes of present government!
Atiku or Obi can’t fix Nigeria. It will even be w0rst trust me!".

Kepukepu:
Even if God comes down and contest as Nigerian president, tribalism will still prevail.

You can't get it

This is not about tribalism. I am neither Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa but I don't believe in Atiku, Obi, and Tinubu. Looking at the three main options, they are all jokers but Tinubu is better.
We only had three main options, and we must make do with what we have.

Oga where you enter since? I mistake you always for Deltamani.

You guys don't get it. There's no evidence that voting Obi and not another candidate would reduce suffering. You just can't prove this except you can say he was exceptional as a Governor in Anambra. If he wasn't then there's no proof he is better than Tinubu.
If you say Sowore might have reduced suffering, that would make more sense since he has never governed before so there is a possibility.

Deltamani:
E don reach where Nigeria fans don da call Esther Okoronkwo the new Perpetual Nkwocha 😂🤗😂

Nigeria my People

I have always believed in Esther sha. Shey you remember my old comments before the qualifiers? Although Ethiopia and Capeverde are small teams, I believe she can do even better also against bigger teams.

For me generally, I like stylish players and when she started in the summer series, I saw her raw style of play. Skillful but Selfish.

She may not be that selfish anymore, but if she can overcome injuries, she's always a great asset in the superfalcons. She has the potential to get to the perpetua level and I hope she gets there.

mostob:
Her time will come. Esther Okoronkwo was in the same shoe but now she is playing her way into the starting lineup. I wouldn't blame the coach for her lack of minute. The people playing ahead of her are not Okpa seller. They are professionals too.

I still doubt Kanu and Monday are reliable enough. Onumonu has lost form, and Oshoala we all know can be unreliable sometimes. We need to test more players in the attack line by giving them at least 45 minutes.

yinkeys:
Does this mean we’d stroll past them in the Olympics qualifier

Depends on us. Even if they were good, it would still largely depend on us.

BascoVanVeli:
Any country with players like Kundananji and Banda will have mouth

Exactly.

yinkeys:
How did the Indomitable lionesses drop off
They didn’t make WAFCON

They lost to Kenya who have now in turn lost out to Botswana.

mostob:
There is Gift Monday too. The competition is getting tougher. She needs to sit up.

Gift Monday is good on her day but her problem is inconsistency.

PDPGuy:
Fun fact

The Falconets have played 46 U-20 WC qualifiers since 2002, scoring a whopping 203 goals and conceding 20…🤯
They’ve also recorded 43 wins and 3 draws within the same period!

The falconets have been the stronghold of the superfalcons. The day they start to falter, the day real trouble begins for Nigerian female football on the continent at least.

Promise47:
Please is Cameroon West or Central I'm confused Sir

Cameroon is central.

Deltamani:
I think Ifeoma Onumonu need to sit up or we put it that Oshoala and Esther as our Top9…

Where do you guys fix Onumonu??

I follow a few of Gotham's game and the few I watched (2 actually), she didn't make the starting line up. Onumonu last season and 2 seasons ago was fire, I hope she regains her form quickly.

Why does the coach leave Rinsola on the bench?

Princezibk:
When in our next match ? Cuz I thought we have Cape Verde 🇨🇻 return leg today

Just40:
You see why I asked the question...I just wanted to know what you'll say.

China is more developed than the UK infrastructural wise.
Of course UK will have a higher standard of living because of what we have come to view standard of living due to their currency being at the apex while china has kept theirs lower in order to be the world's producer.

I've been to both...China (Xiamen, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong) and also the UK

China has more complex infrastructure than the UK, no doubt about that. But what percentage of Chinese have access to the basics as compared to the UK?
That's how I measure development.

Just40:
I'm going to ask you one question....
Is China more developed than UK or not?

UK is more developed than China. I haven't visited China but I have visited UK and gone around.
Yes UK has poverty and some problems but like Germany, standard of living is high on the average.
China is not yet termed a developed country overall but they are definitely getting there.

Just40:
Baring the social differences, I'll bet to say SA and England are probably at the same level of development.

Lol don't even dare.
Social differences or whatever, England is miles ahead.
SA is of course the most developed in Africa with competition from maybe Morocco but England is of course on another level all round.

Deltamani:
Draw VS Ethiopia cost us a lot points
The CAF and Olympic Qualifying don't help won't get much points really need to qualify for the Olympics and get big points like in the world cup to get in the early 20s…. Falcons going down on the Ranking as it stands.

Anyway let’s wait for the official Rankings first..

At least we are still in the 30's. If we can be convincing against Cameroon and play some top profile friendlies, we can easily get to the 20's

From what I see, it seems Cameroon and Morocco have both fallen behind and Ghana is now 3rd. I believe Zambia should be 3rd, Ghana 4th, and Morocco 5th.

Deltamani:
She was in Israel for two seasons before going to Belgium..

Alaba Jonathan is based in Belgium 🇧🇪 playing for a Div2 Clubside RWDM Girls for over 1year now…

I suspect she’s Playing and Working another job too…

She is a good goalkeeper. I would have preferred her to Oluehi though but I blame Dennerby for ignoring her.

mostob:
Is that Kaylin Swart? She is still with their team? na wa o

Heard anything about our 2016 goalkeeper Jonathan Alaba?

BascoVanVeli:
I thought they won the first leg 3-1

No they drew 1-1. It was Ghana who played 3-1.

AkinDS:
Fair enough.
However, there comes a point in time when you have to be able to read the tea leaves and be realistic with yourself.
Clearly, at 40+, she's definitely not a spring chicken and her better days are beyond her. Most serious clubs would rather invest in someone who's younger and has some useful mileage over the next couple of years (which explains why she couldn't get a club overseas to invest in her). Not to mention on the national team scene, where she fallen several pegs down the toting pole, behind the likes of Ohale, Plumptre and even Demehin, I might add.
The writing is clearly on the wall. She should have called it quits on the national front (especially with the fantastic performance the SF had in Au.Nz, when the ovation was loudest) and had her testimonial arranged - Randy would definitely have obliged her and the nation would have given her props and accolades. Now, her legacy would be tainted with abuse and disdain, especially when its obvious she is dragging the captainship, first with Oshoala and now Ajibade, all because of her selfishness and misguided belief of self entitlement. Real Sad!

In my opinion, if she still feels she can compete for a slot with Demehin and Plumptre, I see no problem there.

I would be upset if someone like Rita Chikwelu insists she wants to keep playing for instance, because even before the AWCON 2022, it was clear she couldn't compete in that role anymore.

I would still want Ebi in the mix with Demehin, Akuddo, Plumptre , and Ohale. We can then play friendlies and if Onome does better than Akuddo for instance, then why not?

mostob:
A wonderful ASSet to the national team.

No matter how good she is, she definitely would not be as fast as expected in my opinion. Maybe she does something extra for the team but I'm surprised.
