This is the best midfield display from a Nigerian side for a long time
If you know who deadly the Russian are , some of you won't be making these comments

The team is growing . Of course the coach is taking note . Matches like this makes u see why you need players that can take on defenders without fear

That’s what is lacking in this game

So the United State of America is still playing the WIKE AND FUBARA politics. Politicians are the same around the world.

You sef don see am 😂

Cyberknight:
Farage wanted to distance himself from the far right (mass remigration, fascism, and all that), but that calculation may change.

Absolutely, anything to grab power is welcome.

In naija the Adelekes (davido family) are almost set to move into the APC from the PDP while some persons are saying their party is not for sale others are saying the president is the father of the nation and everyone is welcome 😂 so whoever will advance the reform party into Downing Street will never be turned down. Simple!

Zahra29:
To Reform voters, everyone is expendable except Farage. Zia and Lowe fell out and Lowe was kicked out of the party. The party went on regardless.

Some even want the Robinson guy to replace Zia 😂 let’s just leave it there

Lexusgs430:
If i was elon, I would just chill..... They both have massive to lose, trump at the moment, got federal missiles...... 😁

After God na govt, I don’t pity Elon at all, anything wey e see make e collect! 😂 dems too will be waiting for him e never see anything

Zahra29:
It's impossible to claim that every Reform voter knows who Zia is (by name at least). It's like saying that everyone who voted Labour can name or recognise all the cabinet members.

Ultimately they're voting for Farage, same way most people who voted Conservatives in 2019 voted for Boris. Everyone else is expendable in their view.

Zia was a leader in the party and there was great publicity when he assumed the position with his huge financial donation too. Let’s not pretend about that here. The same voters are even blaming farage for giving him the position based on his financial donation. He was used to douse the narrative that reform is about race but now they seem pretty comfortable they are done with him.

Zahra29:
Not necessarily. The fallout when Rupert Lowe was kicked out of the party appeared very damaging, especially as he had/has a lot of support amongst most Reform members, but Reform still went on to win the Runcorn by-election and hundreds of council seats.

If they find a "competent" replacement and professionallise, they'll probably be fine. On the radio yesterday, Reform callers said they either didn't know who Zia was, or didn't care that he'd left as they were ultimately voting for Nigel lol

They do know him; they are just happy he's gone.

Lexusgs430:
We all know Trump is a petrolhead....... And the anti doge reforms, trump needs to pass, never sat well with elon...... Hence that resignation earlier (that was masked as end of term)........ 😊😁😂

We need some sanity in the Global economy..... 😁😊

Na Musk be mumu, did he think Trump was ever interested in Dodge? Politicians are the same everywhere, after spending money on court cases and all sorts in his bid to be back as President, make Baba no recoup im money? No be the same money both Trump and Musk dey find? Musk should go and sit down jare or start a party like reform in the US, make we see no be who first call police dey win case!

Goodenoch:
Yes, about banning burqas.

I find it incredibly telling that that was what she chose as her FIRST ever question to ask in parliament. Shows clearly what her priorities (and that of the party (-minus Zia obvs)) are. Not the economy, not anything more important, instead she chose to ask if the PM would ban the burqa on security grounds as if burqas are a major factor in any of the security issues the country is facing.

I've said it before that all those doing "I support Reform even though I'm a 'X'" will later find their square roots, as the core ideology driving the party reveals itself, same as all the "'Ys' for Trump" people are finding theirs, albeit too late in their case.

If you go on Twitter, you will already see comments like a non-native British person must never be the chairman of our party Their mission is always very clear and direct, but it's those who are not like them who always misinterpret their mission instead.

komekn:
Your singular self birthed analysis based on sentiment not facts concludes in Hate .

You are very wise 🦉 indeed.

2022/23 he won the Scudetto with Napoli commended him , as did the whole world 🌎 with 26 league goals
2023/24 he scored 15 league goals good but not 🚫 outstanding a step 🪜 down from
2024/25 He moved to retirement league that's a huge step 🪜 ildown in quality for a player with World 🌎 class ambitions.

That in your opinion is HATE 🤔

He was injured that season, but your hatred won't let you see that. That's how bad hate is, and once he gets injured again, you and your goons will be back again to celebrate his downfall. May God heal you

Joebie:
if we no qualify for WC I no care about AFCON.

Blessed are those who are not expectant for they shall not be disappointed 😂

Are we sure it’s not a fall out of what’s happening across the pond?

Tallesty1:
This mentality right here is exactly why Nigeria is messed up.

Musk backed Trump with everything he had. Trump won, started doing the same reckless spending Musk hated in Biden, and guess what? Musk called him out.

But in Nigeria? We start talking about “respect” and other brilliant nonsense. Some people would rather watch the country burn than admit they backed the wrong person.

Patriotism means loyalty to the country; not the people temporarily in charge.

Musk is the mumu here. Trump as far as he’s concerned has done so much for Elon in appreciation for his election win and support, he even went as far advertising Tesla in the White House. Politicians are politicians anywhere this is Trump second term, he came to recoup as much as he can, you think trump believes in all those dodge and spending cuts nonsense? How will he make up for all his court cases spending and revive his business empire or even boost it. All the so called tariffs war is it not about negotiating more for his business interests all over the world? Both Elon and Trump are business men who saw the White House as an opportunity to make more money so Elon should stop acting like one saint, does he think Trump no sabi 😂 make dem go siddon one place jor. MAGA and all their evangelical brothers have been played. Well played

TheSuperNerd:
Good. But it is on this same thread some of you yab Okocha's near "trophylessness" career.

Also, Okocha and Yekini are legends. How come Mba, Emenike and even Omeruo all afcon winners as well not seen in same breath?

I personally reckon with these players and see them more as heroes inspite of what others say. There was an argument here between emenike and martins and I was one of those who said martins never made much impact for the national team. Facts don’t lie na. Longevity in the national team also play a big role in establishing legendary status.

TheSuperNerd:
I asked a simple question.

How much success did the likes of Yekini and even okocha had in Europe, are they not legends? Was it their European success that made them? Both players remain our top 2 Afcon scorers.

TheSuperNerd:
Afcon Glory and surpassing Yekini and possibly hitting 50 are surely Osimhen's NT legacies to attain.

For European Club Career Glory, he is already on course. He has a Serie A title and was top scorer in a Big 5 euro league. The turkish league na bonus but Osimhen still has potentials for more in the Big 5.

Now, who is a Bigger Super Eagles legend? Afcon Winning Kenneth Omeruo, Afcon Hero and winner Sunday Mba or Nwankwo Kanu (zero afcon title).

We don’t need to keep boxing our players into Europe, we need more Afcon titles for our football, we’ve beaten Cameroon several times but they have more trophies and keep rubbing it in our face after winning it in our backyard in 2000. The Ghanaians will keep taunting us until we surpass them in Afcon titles, we are even no where near Egypt, the Ivorians have caught up with us already and if time is not taken Morocco will catch up too. I’ll rather want to see our players pushing more to stamp our authority and command more respect on the continent so the likes of South Africa can stop flexing muscles with us. Osihmen is one of the very few players in recent history that has shown this zeal and commitment to the national team and we have the best opportunity now to turn it into something special and huge for us as a nation. Am sorry I don’t buy this trying to be like drogba or salah thing who never or yet to do anything so special for their national teams either at Afcon or at the World Cup. We keep wondering why we are not doing too well in underage competitions well there’s nothing much inspiring in the main national team for these young lads to bring more laurels for the nation.

Gbas gbos! Round 2 fight 😂

Odunayaw:
If Osimhen decides to remain in Turkey he must lobby the club to focus on European glory.

I can only hope and pray Chelle takes us to glory at AFCON. It will be too memorable because of the time of the year.

All things will be beautiful in its time sha

Afcon glory and becoming Nigerian highest scorer ever are my legacy expectations for osihmen. Nothing concerns me with European glory.

richiemcgold:
The man sef too dey wakawaka. Why must he attempt to take pictures with the players when they are currently on national duty? Is he an NFF official or official of the ministry of sports?

We've been saying this for long that politicians should stop distracting our players when they are on national duty. Sports is not politics, make everybody go siddon jare.

Honestly, why can't our politicians and even other celebrities be kept physically away from our athletes? It's becoming nauseating.

minfelix:
Nairaland fans especially for this place, no go happy with 1-0 oo….they are looking for 4-0 in any game we play🤣🤣….especially if we score early 1-0 and defended the entire game

4-0 for putin backyard! 😂 stop that break dance

Only men in Europe who has executed the treble 2x at two different clubs respectively ARE SPANISH.

The Germans and Italians are also producers of the truly great tactical minds. The dutch too but the Spaniards indeed lead the way.

What else do I expect from a nation that invented the word, "Armada"?

You want Oga Joe to come and pepper us with his soaking knowledge sermons Abi. The font on this thread here go soon change now.

Amaechi haba if wike abuse you now, you go dey shout

Tessyy1701:
Doc😂😂 it's a sarcastic reply to our erudite and in-house Gareth Southgate

😂 You forgot to add the title quintessential, that’s an oversight that is punishable, fear no catch you?

BankyGee:
If person talk now, them go say person talk.

Lemme show you how a player is analysed, especially a striker.

Every club in EVERY season Victor Osimhen played for, he always ended up as their top scorer EVERY season. It's a challenge, it's determination, forget whether he finished top scorer in the league or not (he finished with 26 league goals for Napoli btw, no add or remove abeg)

Right from RSC Charleroi to Lille to his first to last season in Napoli to Galatasaray, he has always been top scorer for his club. If Osimhen scores 2 goals in all competitions, I can bet you that no other player in that team will equal that 2 goals, let alone surpass it.

Do you know that since he scored 20 goals for Royal Charleroi SC, no other striker has gotten up to 20 goals in all competitions since he left? The highest is 16 goals.

Charleroi is not the best in Belgium, Lille is not the best in France, Napoli isn't the best in Italy, the one time they we're the best was when he scored up to 31 goals that season, Lukaku in a best team Napoli has McTominay (a midfielder) outscoring him this season for Napoli, Galatasaray is FIRST best team in a league Victor Osimhen is playing for, see his numbers, it's not about Turkish League or anything. If e sure for you, go comot the goals from the Turkish League from him records na.

Mbappé and Haaland you're talking about has always played for the toppest teams in the league all though their careers, it's always easy to have the best players around them to help, the only person you can use when comparing Osimhen to strikers is Harry Kane, any other person is just prejudice and bias.

Drop Osimhen in a Man City, or Barcelona, or Real Madrid or even Arsenal and see e-Football statistics in real life.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Bros no waste your energy Oga quintessential no Dey rate anything Nigerian born even if they win ballon dor! e go just Dey argue till everlasting you can never change his stance. Imagine rating solanke over VO that’s how terrible it is. Players like Moses Simon, Chuks, Onyeka, Ndidi, Osihmen, iheanacho can never be good in his eyes. It’s a great sin to be born in Nigeria according to him. The ones that are foreign born that plays rubbish for us can never be wrong or bad in his eyes. Know this and know peace.

Truidstarr:
All this Osimhen bashing… I just dey laff una. Una go soon shock.

Na people Dey rate all these European clubs for me I no send. Osihmen actually loses nothing going to Saudi or remaining in Europe but folks no wan gree.
