Chai abeg make win today’s match first o before we begin yellow card matter. Let’s get our 3 points first. Let this not become a distraction to the team.

Hehe... don't let it bother you. It's the usual Torygraph speak. KS has been quick to put Kemi who should have been championing such narratives in a cupboard.
So far, it does not appear Labour is giving thought to any of that and the Cons can't shout too much eitherway. By the time the next election is due, most of the Boriswave crew would be Brits. Na so e dey be

It will even have more devastating effects cos it’s not even a smart thing to continue to increase ilr fees and same time then increase the timeline eligibility. Folks are getting wiser now, where elsewhere I can get permanent residence faster and even cheaper. But you know that arrogance of this is Britain and folks won’t mind waiting for 30 years to get ilr but by the time the reality of how they are losing highly skilled workers and revenue hits then that cycle of another wailing will start like we see in the case of international students. I won’t even mind them testing the waters sef make I check something!

All of them are just making noise common to rally their people to oppose state of emergency in the National Assembly they all went mute, is opposition all about making speeches and press conference?

BankyGee:
Just went to watch all our AFCON highlights again 😂

Who say Iwobinho no good? Mad passes everywhere, there was the through pass to Osimhen 🆚 Equatorial Guinea which Osimhen missed 1-v-1, there was the counter pass to Moses Simon too 🆚 Côte d'Ivoire to set him 1-v-1 too, we no score, the quick passes between him and Ademola Lookman and Bassey to cook that second goal 🆚 Cameroon, the pass to !Zaidu Sanusi, which Zaidu sent to Simon to setup Lookman for the goal 🆚 Angola... Omo 😮‍💨

Alhassan Yusuf 🆚 Equatorial Guinea seff was another passing beast! Na injury do am strong thing, very intelligent player, launched as sweet pass across the box that created an empty net which Zaidu Sanusi missed!

We didn't really play bad in that AFCON, goosebumps full my body watching all the games, Peseiro had a game plan and stuck to it all through and our players played to the best of that game plan!

Let's see what Chelle cooks again, December too far! 😤😤😤

those who keep saying we played badly at Afcon are just economical with the truth, we played some good football, our problem is always the first game syndrome, once we lose or draw we tend to use the result of the first game to describe the team no matter how much they improve in latter games, it was the same thing in 2013 we drew our first game and many even wrote off the Eagles, till today people stii say keshi's team was boring. Imagine the assist from Babatunde to Ahmed Musa for our first goal against Argentina in the 2014 World Cup, that was delightful to watch. Watch our WCQ games under Rohr to the 2018 World Cup, especially the game against Cameroon, the same Rohr we accuse of destroying our game, na tension dey make us talk anyhow most times. Even in our last game I know how some were already bashing the team despite the disciplined play from the Eagles. Reason I'm happy Chelle won his first game cos if it was a draw or we lost omo na different things we go dey see or hear.

Zahra29:
The bolded is incorrect. ILR fees were last increased in October 2023 to £2885. There was no increase in 2024.

Accusing the government of treating immigrants as guinea pigs is disingenuous. You talk as if immigrants are being specifically targeted when the reality is that nearly every household and business is facing tax and bill increases.

Fine, still an increase in less than one and half years is a kill and not justifiable as these people are also not immune to the other bills and taxes increases but of course it doesn’t matter because they are immigrants and they should bear the cost of being here no matter how much but tomorrow they will be still be objects of attacks of low wages, cheap labour, why citizens can’t get high wages and all those dumb stuff. Let the arrogance continue!

Zahra29:
Bills and taxes are going up in pretty much every sector next month - in some sectors by much bigger margins than most of the immigration fee rises - for example council tax, employers national insurance (which many businesses have been lamenting as unaffordable) , energy price cap etc
AND UK passport application fees are going up as well.

At the same time, benefit payments are due to be slashed or frozen for a large proportion of recipients, so I think it's quite disingenuous to make out like immigrants are the only ones facing fee increases or are specifically being targeted.

Are immigrants exempted from those increases in energy, bills and taxes? How is this disingenuous? It’s just last year ilr fees were just increased to £2880 and now to over £3k so a family that has saved and planned with last year figure to apply this year now have to cough out more to cover for the new fees haba, so every year from now we will be seeing increase in visa fees, that’s new and strange.

mekabuachi:
This Libya no dey hear word 😂
Still kept Sudan in the airport fore hours, seized there passports

And guess what they came there to play another country not even then😂🤦

That country is still suffering from ptsd after their war, fifa and CAF suppose exclude them from the game for now. I hope it’s not until lives are lost before the football authorities do the needful

jedisco:
Immigration in the UK has been largely commoditised and increasingly seen as an easy way to generate revenue without the backlash other wider changes see. Many locals would even welcome this.

It seems the posturing is now to have yearly increases so big jumps come as less of a shock. For example, this rise has largely gone under the radar even among migrant communities

Rather I just see a Guinea pig scenario where once you’re thinking of revenue increase you turn on immigrants and when you want to rant on society ills you also turn on immigrants. So they are both your problem and revenue tap. phew!

jedisco:
Visa fees on the rise again. Increase roundly above inflation

https://www.employmentlawworldview.com/uk-home-office-announces-new-visa-and-sponsorship-fees-effective-april-2025/

It’s really shocking to see a fee rise just after a year of previous increases. What’s really happening, is this country that broke?

Mujtahida:
Rwanda is at a high altitude. That's why the players gassed out.

This excuse no follow o especially if you remember the game in uyo against the same Rwanda

BankyGee:
That clearance and one other headed clearance too from our box. He also won many balls and created attacking chances with them. Just ONE player - person go come get mind say he's useless outside the box. Clowns.

This is what he was doing too in Afcon dropping to the midfield and defence to help out as if the other players are not there. The matter tire me jor

Mujtahida:
Iwobi run tire 🤣🤣

If not e go explain tire cos evidence no go Dey 😜 Chelle thank you o

Meanwhile my only worry for the next game is by second half most of the players go remember their European clubs and may start taking it easy. I just hope like in Rwanda we can wrap up Zimbabwe in the first half

Mujtahida:
It's saddening to think we have no replacement for him. Beyond football, it is his hunger, his desire that animates the whole team. No one else has that energy.

That hunger is what is lacking in most of the other players, I saw in the Rwanda game a defensive clearance from osihmen as if he was a defender I almost shouted, if it was the other defenders they won’t have been that swift, the guy does too much and it’s worrying. This is why he gases out like after the 70th minute when you could still need a crucial goal from a player of his calibre.

But for the new coach and his stance on running and chasing the ball most of our players would have been too pedestrian in the Rwandan game. We need at least four other players to have the kind of zeal osihmen has and we would be fine. This switching on and off most of them are doing I just tire.

comodo:
With his kinsman. The one that always say Osihmen is a one season wonder. His Yes men has led him to Turkey and he is wasting away there. Wetin be that him Moniker again

They have gone into hiding until he doesn’t score in a match then they will be back 😂

minfelix:
Chelle made sub that stabilized our midfield and we started playing the calm 1/2 passes in middle looking for a through pass….Omo even as we dey lead 2-0 once person came and said Chelle was not the man for the Job🤣🤣….kai i shook my head…tifiakwa for some people in this nairaland….shey no b the same Rwanda generations of super eagles have been sweating to beat chelle dispatch like this?….Under Eguavoen shey osimhen no play against Rwanda last year?…….this coach came and gave us a beastly super eagles that swept aside a stubborn amavubi, you come here come dey say its a sheer brilliance of osimhen, and that its not chelle’s tinkering

The coach has done well, this was a difficult game and it’s never easy winning your first game as eagles coach especially a crucial away game like this and he won convincingly which is a good omen. Once he wins again on Tuesday he may just be on his way to the top.

It was a difficult game to manage especially knowing how sloppy our players can be. Took charge of the game and players at the same time. That’s not easy for a new coach in his first game. Anybody criticising the coach today no well o and don’t understand how difficult that game was.

elyte89:
Never…..u shld knw I am better 😎 tactically

Coachee this one pass you o!

titki taka fans, eagles dey entertain una o

Iwobi is giving me sweet passes!

Great Game management, well done Chelle!

Well done, world's best striker! Am proud and happy to be alive to witness your heroics.

So far so good! just manage the game and we are done

Subzerooo:
Mr Chelle it's 65 mins

he has answered you

minfelix:
SA don score🤣 awon werey

let's focus on our game, no worry I hear it's 2-0 now

our players should be careful, they are playing away and in front of the host country president. Any unnecessary tackle can be dicey

Mujtahida:
My brother. I no see pattern oo. Dem say na diamond, dem say na midfield to attack. I sha know we are two goals up. I sha know say I no see Ndidi, I no see Chukwueze.

For this match, make pattern and formation go rest, we just need the win either by bp or by convulsion

Joebie:
after Osimhen gets his hatrick he needs to be rested for our next match.

Hmm, maybe 85th minute

oloriooko:
Our MF is non existing
Ndidi has declined in form a lot
Alex is still lost doesn't know what to do in the MF
Aina is a world class
This is Rwanda and it should be a walk over but football has developed over many years
Eric should look into that MF very well, we need a change

Good so far but game management will be key in this match

As I said earlier, game management is the key to this game.

make una forget pattern for now abeg, na result we need. Anyhow, let the boys get the result.

What can we do without this guy?

Best striker in the world

9JAMac10:
Communication matters. Our boys are getting complacent

It’s our nature at dying minutes na

Hope the boys keep their nerves few mins to half time
