Why haven't you comeback to Nigeria to stay sir/ma😐😐

😂 in fact this is the best response so far

3 gbosa for you. I hope all the patriots won’t dodge this question. Just like those who came in years ago will complain that immigrants are becoming too much in uk but will never volunteer to leave to reduce the number 😜

When did Diaz started playing for Morocco? Which kind ojoro these people wan play, if olise just agreed to play for us will he have gotten nomination for APOTY. Let everyone be guided o

Ihenzy:
He wasn't happy but I noticed how he walked away without causing drama

Dude na gentleman if na osihmen na so wahala go start with teammates

LoverOfEvil:
He was standing close to the spot
It looked liked he wanted to take it
I don't think Retegui who just came to the club will be the one taking spot kicks

Guy I was just political with my earlier response, don't tempt me further me to say what's on my mind, let's allow this to pass

charlesemeka85:
good point made but still there is nothing wrong with reaching out to the boy first

The team wasn’t stable when the duo of lookman and fisayo agreed to play for us

One of the reasons I will always appreciate Lookman. But let's not forget that if England had not snubbed him at the senior level, would he have bothered? takes me back to what Mikel said about such players. Every case looks different though for each player like who influences who (Iwobi) and other factors. I do think if we can manage what we do have currently, we should be attracting more than ever before. Again does the NFF even have such an arrangement or setup to reach such players?

LoverOfEvil:
Why didn't Ademola Lookman take the penalty

I don't think he's the one delegated for spot kicks for the club

charlesemeka85:
they hv to reach out to him first. You can’t assume such sitting in your house

Until there's more stability in the Eagles' setup, we have to manage our expectations. We can't continue to change coaches like diapers and expect every Nigerian-born kid anywhere to play for us. We need to put our house in order, and these kids will even be the ones eager to play for us. If we can consistently qualify for the World Cup and I think we can like Cameroon does, these kids will be dying to play for us.

Joezinho:
What have you used to judge Osimhen so far? Is it his goals against bums like CAR, Lesotho , São Tomé and Liberia? Or was it by scoring against those carpenters that made him win the afcon player of the year? Or what impact does he have in the all the afcons he has participated in so far?

I can't even remember sef if we ever got to the Afcon final with Martins as our striker so rest bro, besides martins with all his exploits in Europe never became APOTY, oya talk another one.

AlhajiDanladi:
Plus the comparison is rather baseless, Obafemi had a solid head-start to his career in Europe when he moved to Italy at 16 years of age and came through the ranks of Inter Milan. Emenike was one of those random players who was discovered while playing his football in Turkey in his mid twenties and wasn't even a Super Eagles player up until he got a late call up to international football in 2011.

Obagoal was clearly the more talented player and had an overall better career, but Emenike scored more vital and clutch goals for us WHEN IT REALLY MATTERED (Afcon win and WCQs).

You know why we still feel the 94 eagles set were the best ever? It’s because we didn’t have access to watch European leagues back then like we have been doing from the mid 2000s so we strictly judged them based on their national team performance cos that was more relevant to us meanwhile that particular set had just very few players doing so well at club level but who cares then what you do for your club if you didn’t deliver for the national team.

charlesemeka85:
I will start Yak, bench Osimhen and Martins , won’t call up Emenike and arrest Ighalo

You be wicked person o arrest Ighalo ke make Oga quintessential no go give you blow o my hand no Dey there

Joezinho:
Lol. His name is not obagoal for nothing.

Martin’s shadow was a better footballer than emenike. I have no recollection of any highlight moments from emenike’s career aside the afcon 2013. Good player but largely forgettable. Won the afcon but it is not a trophy counting exercise. If that is the case, then fegor ogude > seyi olofinjana..

Just say you forgot the player and you personally adore martins.

Emenike apart from winning Afcon also won the golden boot at that competition. Yes his goals was that key. Can’t remember whatever martins did at Afcon. We can’t continue to use epl or European leagues to judge our players alone without their immense contributions to our profile as a soccer nation.

Joezinho:
Start Obafemi martins.
Bench Osimhen and ighalo.
Don’t call up emenike.
Arrest yakubu for missing that goal at the WC!!!

An Afcon winner, issorite

Agbero sector nko aka owo mi da

Mujtahida:
What of our own Oliseh? Gattuso nko, Edgar Davids them. I thought the idea was to pair them with a creative player like the ones you mentioned. But gradually the creative players are moving into the background while the destroyers occupy front place.

My brother this modern football do us strong thing o those days when France Dey play Portugal you know it’s going be a beautiful game in the middle with zidane and figo come add Rui Costa join am. Abi na Netherlands with Davids and seedorf for middle Abi na Italy with gattuso and pirlo omo the game don dry today o.

Mujtahida:
Exactly. When they were praising Kante, it used to baffle me cos me I come from a football template where it is the 10s that earns plaudits. Kante is good oo but I'm saying that in times past such players don't earn praise as much as was showered on him. Only underlines how football has changed.

So we too after crying and crying that modern football is barren, we clean our eyes and chop the eba without soup that is modern football.

Truth is both Roy Keane and Patrick Viera are such players too but in that era we still saw that creativity from the middle from the likes of Zidane, Figo until till the Xavi era but Kante come scatter the table kpatakpata 😂

Mujtahida:
Na them dey praise efficiency. Well, creativity requires some bit of slowing down pace to dribble, to create space, to give that pass. Modern football is fast paced, space is closed and you want creative players in the mould of Maradona or Zidane or Ronaldinho? Manage your De Bruyne. That's the best you can have. The midfield has been taken over by workhorses.

Yes o from the days of Makalele to Kante beasts and bullies don take over

NurseGrace:
He is a civil engineer . No other skill asides that. And he is of the opinion that I should accept the job in the UK mainly because of the kids.

If he has all his professional qualifications and experience as a civil engineer and he can check the UK equivalent, he's got some good prospects in the transportation and construction industry in the UK. Let him dig further, he could hit gold.

Zahra29:
So I recently helped a family member apply for a Nigerian passport from the UK and I was shocked at the cost - £200 for a standard 10 years??😳 Wow! But it's actually more when you add in the £50 they had to pay to get the prerequisite national number and the £20 mandatory postal order. That's almost £300 for one person....add in travel for people coming in from outside London and it could be nearer £350.

I think it's an outrageous cost for the service (which isn't even a priority service - they have to wait over 2 months for their biometric appointment!). And don't get me started on the near insurmountable challenges we faced trying to upload a compliant passport photo. In the end we had to pay for an app which bumped up the overall cost even more 😵‍💫(why,oh why, in 2024 can they not embed a face scanning or similar technology to make the process easier for their customers citizens?)

How can families of 4 or 5 afford to renew their passports? I'm surprised there isn't more outrage about this tbh.

(For context a British passport is £88.50 for 10 years and a standard service which takes less than 3 weeks).

Sorry for the rant lol, but it was a very stressful process 🫠

sorry for all that you had to go through, perhaps we can all begin to appreciate the huge challenges of living in the UK as a Nigerian. So when you see us shout about the UK visa costs, ihs fees, and taxes all you can see on display is a conglomerate of all our burdens as a people. No matter the outrage and in this current inflationary world, who will blink? none from either back home or where we are so you just have to carry your cross and keep hoping. Good to know you got it sorted. I even had a colleague who just told me today she had a biometric appointment for December, I had to tell her to re-check as some weeks back all appointments had been cancelled with everyone expected to reschedule, she never knew until today that her appointment like we say in Nigeria has entered voicemail and there was no email or announcement whatever to notify anyone. Welcome to our world sis.

The UK is only protecting its own local content make una no blame them o na sapa things.

NurseGrace:
Please I need to make an important decision in my life and I need opinions expecially from people in the Uk. I am a Nurse in Nigeria who just got 2 job offers, the 1st is with an oil company in Nigeria with a monthly pay of 5million monthly and the second is a job in UK with the NHS. Please I need suggestions please, if you were in my shoes which will u choose. This decision is very important to me. And by the way I am 35yrs with a husband who is a civil servant here and 2 children (5years and 7years).

you have two great opportunities, you and your hubby need to sit down and consider the pros and cons.

But in my own opinion, the continuous devaluation of the naira will make me prefer the NHS option but be warned the UK is no tea party, the culture shocks and peculiarity of the UK society will surely take their toll on your entire family (are you ready for this?) but if you can have a roadmap on what you'll like to achieve in the long term, I will say use the UK as a launching pad for your nursing career to land in North America as your final destination where your nursing career will find more expression and better value for your family. Are you ready? If you are then give it a go. You won't regret it. More importantly, get the 100% buy-in of your spouse before you make the move.

charlesemeka85:
The NFF should reach out to Werder Bremen’s German born Justin Njinma. Will be a good addition to the team’s attack

He reminds me so much of Osaze Odemwingie. Blessed with pace, skills and in addition he shoots with both legs effortlessly

is he willing to play? we no wan hear another story o

The Eagles ate good this weekend 😋

No surprises they were all in form during the international break. For the first time we might have got our national team selection right on merit. No passengers or extra luggage

DEEP STATE REALLY WANT TO KILL MR. TRUMP.

THEY HAVE TRIED TO KILL HIM 2 TIMES BUT GOD SAVES HIM.

I AM AFRAID THAT THEY WILL TRY TO KILL HIM THE 3RD TIME AND THEY MIGHT SUCCEED. THEY WILL NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL THEY KILL HIM.


TRUMP NEED GOD FOR REAL.



AND IF BY GOD GRACE HE GET TO THE WHITE HOUSE, TRUMP SHOULD BE MERCILESS WITH THE DEEP STATE, HE SHOULD DISBAND CIA, FBI AND SECRET SERVICE.... HE SHOULD CARRY OUT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF DOJ, JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, PENTAGON AND HOUSE AND SENATE. A LOT OF PEOPLE MUST GO TO JAIL..... POWER MUST BE RETURN TO STATE THROUGH STATE POLICE.

HE MUST REDUCE THE POWERS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FORM A VERY SMALL GOVERNMENT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.


AMERICA IS BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS FOR AMERICANS.

😂 Make he just finish America kpatakpata can you read again what you just wrote here

RaptorX:
The FBI just described this as a second assassination attempt, so all the people dropping dumb comments about how this is staged or it was just two people shooting at each other know more than the FBI.

He who have ears let him hear, Trump WILL be elected and sworn in and you can take that to the bank. But he will not finish his term before they use a black assasin to take him out leading to a very bloody race/ civil war in America and Europe.

This is going to pave the way for the beast, the man of perdition of Revelation 17 11 to become America's president and basically the One World government leader in a special election.

And if he doesn’t win, what will happen?

Who is chasing him, is he the only one that has aspired to be president? When last did you hear any American politician being chased with guns even in recent elections cycle? There’s nothing special about Trump, he’s been president before and it ended in chaos cos that’s who he is. The man is chaos personified.

Mujtahida:
It's his social media antics people yabbed not his footballing abilities. From what I saw over the two matches, Boni will be important for us.

He was bashed for his display in our matches folks used his social media stunts to taunt the player. We are too judgemental as a people myself inclusive

TheSuperNerd:
Victor Boni-BRACE cooking defenders for fun in the Bundesliga.

A Striker that loves to bamboozle defences like Ronaldo De Lima and add flourish to his finish. A highly Technically gifted beast.


Note: This is not saying he is everything like Ronaldo de phenomenon oooo. Don't misquote me abeg.🤣🤣

Injury slowed the player down last season I hope he stays injury free this season. We missed him at Afcon. He showed some flashes of brilliance during the international break so not surprised with his performance currently

Meliforme:
Boniface is very skillful.
I mean very skillful.

The same player we don abuse finish for here?

Ppogbae:
I really hope that this loan spell for Osimhen goes by quickly. Playing the likes of Rizespor, Konyaspor, Otubaspor, Bananaspor, etc., ain't it lmao

which one is better? training with u-17 at Napoli or playing regular football

Odunayaw:
We had a higher possession stat. You can check again

51-49, what’s high in that

Jefersoun:
We were more threatening and had a better chance than them to score.
The point is for him to know when to apply such antics. There is not bad in applying it, just know when to do that and don't over do it or it. Finito

Because we didn't win, we feel it's a problem, make we all rest abeg. Before another agenda go start. Nwabali remains our number 1 for now. He's not the reason we could not score.

Jefersoun:
You don't get what he is trying to say.
You implore such antics if you are leading or drawing against a tough opponent towards the closing stage of the match and not against a weaker opponent you are already dominating from the early stage of the match as it was witnessed in the last game. We have a higher chance of winning the game, so why waste time and disrupt the energy and intensity of the game?

weaker opponent? you guys didn't watch how the Rwandans were looking for a late goal? Moreover, whenever your opponent has the ball, are they moving back toward their area or your end, I no understand una o. Have you seen the stats, the % possession was never far apart.

We only dominated in terms of shots on goal but never in possession of the ball

Treadway:
Koko iroyin mi ni pe

It is factual to say, 'hey, I don't like this dude, I don't like him at all, he is just too rude, or over-the-top or any other adjective that is fitting'

But don't say he is racist when you don't have evidence, only feelings

Don't say he will be Armageddon to America/world, when as recently as 2016-2020 he was president, the world didn't end, and infact there was relative peace for all four years.

Simple as A freaking B and C!

abi na, racist comments don't make someone racist at all

even Obama was also described as the antichrist that would bring about the mark 666, abeg rest no be today
