My brother the immediate job any coach we appoint is to qualify us for the WC. Considering we did not qualify for the previous mundial that should be the top priority, though a tough one. If we want to talk about doing excellently well in the tournament proper, are we saying he is the best choice for the WC proper? Or should we say we hired him mainly for the next AFCON?

Our World Cup chances are too slim except a miracle, World Cup qualification aside is it chelle we should be going for even afcon? What the hell are we thinking. This is just too ridiculous, we are just giving the likes of amunike, sia sia, oliseh and their supporters more mouth cos honestly chelle no even better pass these guys. How can we go from paseiro, finidi, Eguavoen only to land finally with chelle, o wrong na!

We ought to be appointing coaches with great pedigree in past tournaments. Our greatest headache is not just qualification but doing excellently well in tournaments and you need coaches with well rounded experience in that.

How can you sack a coach who came second in afcon and later appoint another coach who crashed out in the quarter finals. And I see folks here talking about playing style. So we are still looking for tiki taka coaches abi. We no well at all! Kotinu!

Joebie:
Um just saw the new on BBC pidgin English

Chelle chelle

Chelle don shelle o!

We keep using our national team to beef up the CVs of lower grade coaches. Looks like we don’t understand how big our football brand as a nation is. We’ve produced two APOTYs in a row and still we just dash the national team to just any coach for as long he doesn’t carry the green passport. Phew

elyte89:
Don’t be too shy 🙈 to mention my name , u sef knw say I better pass eguavoen and chelle

Oga you need to change your lawyers, they are doing a poor job representing you, imagine we settling for this shege of a shelle

elyte89:
It’s obvious na …no be d same reason he was sacked in Mali 🇲🇱 .he had poor run of games during deir wcq …so what’s d logic behind his appointment..To come and salvage our fate when he can’t do dat with Mali 🇲🇱

Honestly na from Shelle to shege 😜

Seriously we had better stick with Eguavoen if we can’t get someone better!

Thanks for your response, I do have a Residency permit in the EU. After picking no another question pop up again , kindly help look at the attached screenshot , thanks

You're in order I think since this is your first application for this visa category.

jedisco:
Hehe. It's called see-finish. He thought he was about to serve Kier Starmer breakfast but now he's been advised to ho wash plates at the big mans house. I wonder what he'd do if Elon offers £100m at this stage - he'd say master, I know you were pulling my legs.

It's insulting finally. Reform is Nigel's personal business which is registered as a company with him being the main shareholder. Its like saying Elon or Trump are not good enough to oversee the vision of Space-X or Truth Social respectively. With all this, the humility in Nigels response is telling. Imagine his response if it was Kemi that said same thing.

He has already said he doesn’t want to go into war with his sugar daddy and intends to discuss with Baba Trump when he attends his inauguration.

It’s difficult to get rid of Musk the only way is to ensure his puppet doesn’t get into power, even Trump can’t go against Musk unless he wants to be cooked with twitter (ask stammer for starters 😜) that’s how choking is it with Musk. There’s no insult I can see here for Farage except he wants to fund his company or party all by himself. As for kemi trust me she too won’t mind washing plates for Musk, na who no want the world richest man as a friend. That’s what desperate politics or lust for power can do to any one. You throw all caution to the dustbin!

jedisco:
Hehe.. I never watch that one oo.. I'd leave it under tge free speech narrative.

Tommy Robinson doesn't have the right background. He might get overt support from rioters and inward support from others but the average British middle-upper class (e.g Rees Mogg) is not lining up behind him. Nigel Farage appeals more to that group- he has the oratory, education and carriage. Even most of Robinsons protests tend to be in deprived regions.

This free speech movement is really doing wonders o where someone wants the King to send the entire parliament home or for Britons to be given asylum in the US 😜

Farage is the one that messed up himself going to Malarago or whatever they call it. Anything his eyes see he should collect it all by himself including handing over to Robinson as demanded by sugar daddy musk!

Soraco57:
Hello, m trying to join my partner in the UK as dependent, we met last January in the UK last year January ,she has been on the skilled worker visa since 2023 before immigration rules changes, I do visit her in the UK but we got married in December last year 2024. In my case what is the best option to choose, thanks.

The question is Do you have permission to stay as X's partner. Yes or No
.

Thanks

This should be No but do you have any current resident permit like student visa or any other temporary resident visa? you state this as well

jedisco:
Lol@ Tommy Robinson - the defender of English values and the only one speaking the 'truth'
Nigel Farage is not obedient enough to lead the cause.

True, the UK system may have not be as financially laden but it's heavily susceptible to the media. I've noticed that many elements of the Right in the UK are also not huge fans of Trump.

With most of the developed western moving right, the next few years should be interesting. Hopefully its their Brexit moment with similar lessons to be learned

You have not watched that GB news interview with Musk’s father where he said the future of the Uk belongs to Tommy Robinson?

justwise:
He is desperately want to run the UK govt just as he is doing with American govt right now.

He is not getting the attention and recognition he wants from the British govt even with all his money.

They want your king to dissolve the parliament mad people everywhere 😂

missjekyll:
Igwe ,e don talk anoda one....

One dumb person on twitter even went ahead to say that America should withdraw all trade deals from the Uk to threaten the govt to surrender 😂 including asylum for Britons in America.

The insanity twitter has unleashed hmmm we never start sef

missjekyll:
Tax the rich.
When people get stratospherically wealthy, they unfailingly become villains.


Look at the sort of unhinged person the US has handed power to. They created this monster and all of us are suffering for it.

I saw some comments on a platform where folks said Musk is the president while Baba Trump is the first lady

jedisco:
Lol... late Christmas for Kier Starmer. He'd be hoping the £100m talk would be quenched by this.

See how humbly calculated Farage sounded. Money good oo.

Elon is something else- for even NF to say this one is too far right and disagree with him should make folks unsettled. I wonder what role his aparthied South African roots are playing in his world view

Elon is just a manipulator taking advantage of far-right ideologies to bully his way into political influence. When he's done he will start shouting about the shortage of engineers and skilled workers to advance his business interests. Just pity those who see him as their savior to advance their desire to chase all those they don't like or want out of their country and right now many of them are confused and can't just understand what the hell is going on

lavida001:
Elon is going mad and needs to stopped.

Stop ke! When he’s just starting

Anyone following the clash between Farage and Elon Musk. Welcome to 2025!

The Lion Scores!

Dude just Dey increase im goal tally upadan!

Good to know he scores from the spot now

franugo:
There are proper procedures to go through when inviting someone, especially someone who's seen and done all like the ex-president. That's the main issue here, that nnpcl should have gone through the right channel and not a public invitation which can be easily misconstrued as a blatant insult.

Does obj goes thru the right channel all the time to express his views on national issues?

but it’s not disrespectful to go on air and claim the refineries can’t work. Obj is a clown!

Kenn55:
These Indians should go and rest. They are talking now cos the bigotry don reach their side. Where were they when blacks and Latino immigrant community were being dehumanized?
Anybody with sense knows that the core MAGA issue wasn't illegal immigration as it was painted but non white immigration whether legal or illegal. They thought they were not in the same category with blacks and Latino immigrants cos they are the IT gurus.
They haven't learnt their lesson cos as at today people like Kash Patel is still thinking he is MAGA

You hit the nail on the head bruv, even in Canada now they are feeling the heat as all the latest immigration measures are actually targeted at them. Truth be said they’ve always gotten away with so much until now even the h1b stuff is all about them as they always make up over 70% of h1b recipients yearly.

Joebie:
contract not renewed

perhaps not qualifying for AFCON was enough to allow the coach go, they could have given him more time possibly who knows he could have qualified them for the World Cup like Angola did years back

Joebie:
I heard Rwanda coach is available.

una don turn this coaching thing to comedy now o

jedisco:
Hehe... Kier is having it tough.

UK kowtowing to the U.S no be today but got worse since Brexit as standing alone leaves the UK at the back of the queue hence we have become more desperate for any trade agreement. Obama warned about this.
Must issue came to the fore when the UK went cap in hand begging him to open a factory here. Chap ultimately looked the other way siting Brexit even after a sitting PM 'interviewed' him. Imagine the PM interviewing a private business man. Funny enough, it was the much hated Indians that came to UKs aid and agreed to build a battery factory after securing generous terms.

Many whites (in other countries) who are native english speakers see the UK as their family house for historical reasons esp white South Africans
His father has called Kier a fascist. X has left Tommy Robinsons hate filled documentary on. He is now calling for Tommys release. The UK can't do much about him cos upsetting the coming US president is considered too risky a venture. All Musk needs to do is dangle the possibility of a factory and the those in Westminster would start singing a different tune.

Odiegwu that's all I can say cos this film is pregnant with many seasons and episodes. Happy viewing!

jedisco:
Stumbled upon this and I remembered you and Kemi. Chap is lamenting but wonder what he was expecting.
Broensing thru, it's clear X has really become its kind of SM with rising hate all in the name of free speech

It will be a long ride in the next four years even here in the UK especially with Uncle Musk now pulling Oga Starmer's beards up and down. Everyone was aware of the consequences of November 2024 so no one should be pretending now.

elyte89:
If nff doesn’t announce a new coach by the end of this month then it means Dey av no plans to appoint any foreign coach from the onset ..and if that’s d case we might end up with eguavoen or siasia ..

It will take huge courage and reputation risk for any foreign coach to take up the eagles job considering where we are now in the World Cup qualifiers

this is petty, a president is just like any other person who goes back home to celebrate festive activities with his family while Abuja is just his workplace. That's why you have state governors to man their states and feel what the people in their states are truly feeling. This is over the bar man!

TheSuperNerd:
Words from TheGoodJoe...

He says Happy New Year to you all (he will soon come do that himself) and can't wait to be back. He is feeling better and doing better. Just needs to sort out one or two and he will come say hello.

He really appreciates everyone once again and he says he knows that some of una are GUILTY for drawing analogies in your mind between Man City's form and his own health state. When he returns, una go collect. 😂😂

Happy New Year again everyone. Cheers to us.

Are you sure you are not among them? nice to hear Oga Joe is doing good.

chrisooblog:
Bro do you really think if Lookman repeated the same feat during those Toure years he won't have won?

Plus the year Mikel came second it was only the AFCON title you could hold as his major achievement that year and he wasn't even the MVP sef?

Club football Mikel was nowhere to be found but individually Yaya was just levels above.

Don't forget after Kanu you're talking about two players who are the highest ever ranked Nigerians in Balon'Dor and FIFA awards.

Was Mikel even nominated for Balon'Dor in 2013 before even mentioning where he finished finally?

The thing about players like Yaya and Eto is that they were doing great stuff season after season and their impact even at their clubs was too much to ignore, you know why some folks here slam osihmen despite how excellent he is? It's because they want to see that dominance like Eto or Yaya cos that's how he can have 2,3 or 4 APOTYs. Mikel was also consistent despite the criticism and he was a major reason we won Afcon 2013, He's the reason Yaya couldn't do much damage to us in the quarterfinals that year. Lookman or Osihmen still needs to power us to an afcon title before we can finally consider them as one of our greatest players ever, Kanu won Olympic Gold for us despite not winning Afcon and that's why he's still miles ahead so Osihmen and Lookman still need to land us something big for us as a nation or surpass Yekini's goal tally. My view please

Napoleon55:
Why not,they beat prime Salah, if they perform better,they would .

Mikel could not beat Yaya Toure because of extremely low goal contributions count for both country and club compare to Yaya.

In the seasons under review, Salah was not dominant enough to beat Osihmen and Lookman. Yaya Toure was more dominant than any other African player in those years he won, only Samuel Eto before him has such a feat. It was even the Afcon win in 2013 that gave Mikel a slim chance but not enough to match up to Yaya. A player winning APOTY 4 consecutive times is no child's play. Salah I doubt will ever match Yaya.

chrisooblog:
Good point you make on the flipside Mikel and Moses for all their achievement never won AFOTY unlike Ademola and Victor plus the latter's achievement is more noteworthy considering they didn't play for European top echelon teams.

but for Yaya Toure, Mikel or Moses would have won APOTY, even Lookman or Osihmen wouldn't have beaten a Yaya Toure, make we talk true o!

Yaya won APOTY in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, that's how dominant in Africa he was o!
