So i'm guessing that Trump supplied those arms to Nigeria during his time in office? Trump appointed Richard Grenell to Cabinet, the first openly gay person to hold a Cabinet-level position, Trump banned Muslims from traveling to America during his time in office but Nigerians did not see that as an attack on religion.

During the COVID I was watching one well known man of God from Nigeria going on about how God sent Trump to change things but that the FBI and some powerful people are fighting him. He believes that the church should pray so that Trump wins second term in office. I was shocked because I respected his teachings and his knowledge of the bible. Thankfully Trump lost as angels from Africa did not intervene

justwise:
Add Laura Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene to that list

It will surprise you to know that a lot of Nigerians support Trump and Putin and will still go to church to pray for peace and good governance in the world

Hehe... it's largely down to lgbtq and abortion issues. Don't be surprised if Reform proposes to strip all non-white folks of their British citizenship and at the same time proposes an anti-abortion/lgbtq stand some of our people would consider supporting him based on the later.


When you losten to those mentioned folks, you see most of their anti-illegal immigration stuff is a smoke screen. Their main concern is the changing demography and increasing attainment of minorities. They then go on to paint previous decades before this change as some utopia to rally their fan base so they can 'make America/UK/AUS/Can great again. Yes, I don't support uncontrolled undocumented immigration but as we've seen with the recent UK election campaign and riots, to many of these nut heads, any non-white person = illegal immigrant.

He kills the vibe. Whether we are winning or not, Nwabali likes to waste time. Not professional at all.

Charlesemeka85 remember when we mentioned this about Nwabali. In our last match, Ekong was unhappy when Nwabali went down in the closing minutes of the match

Mujtahida:
We can only consider Ghana. We need to help them. They are now on the level of Chad, Panama and Djibouti 😂😂.

They don't even have a stadium.

You can have all the creativity you want on the wings. That is enough to keep football exciting.

What Mikel said about Eguavoen



I know the interim manager now, Augustine Eguavoen who managed me when I was a kid. U17, he was my coach, took us to the World Cup.

"Fantastic guy, lovely guy, a manager who gives you all the freedom in the world to express yourself, speaks to you really well.

"He reminds me so much of Carlo Ancelotti, no jokes about that, his man management is top. He speaks to players really well. He is so humble. He communicates with players really well, puts his arm around you.

"He gets his players on his side, that's so important. You could see coming in short notice and getting the team to play so well. You can't teach them so much is such a short space of time.

"It's about the communication, it's about the man management of making the players so relaxed so they can perform and that's what I saw when I watched the game because the team performed really well, the first game, and also the second game. Of course we didn't win it but there was so much positivity.

"The team played really well yesterday and I thought we could have won the game."

I am even disappointed in Kamala for not putting Trump in his place on those issues you mentioned.
First, Trump failed to solve the border issues as president. Remember " I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it" he said in 2016. So he campaigned on the border, but didn't solve the issues as president.
Go and check the data for US illegal border crossings from 2000 till date, you will see that millions of " rapists and criminals " in his own words crossed the border under his watch. In fact, in 2019 alone, about a million people crossed that border. Yes, more people have crossed under Biden but then Biden has also deported more people than Trump. So where was the outrage from Trump when millions crossed under his watch? Immediately he was out of power, all of a sudden the border became an existential issue again. If he didn't solve it as commander in chief, what moral authority does he have to blame Kamala who is just a mere VP?

On Economy, that is simple, he left the economy worse than he met it and that is a fact. Obama did a good job in reviving an economy battered by the worst financial crisis in 2008, handed it over to Trump and he left it worse than he met it. Ok that's because of the pandemic abi? If he can be excused cos of the pandemic, why shouldn't Biden who inherited the pandemic riddled economy not be excused also? Did Trump hand over a booming economy like he inherited from Obama to Biden, and Kamala crashed it? Trump is running like he wasn't in power 4 years ago.

I struggle to understand why some of us immigrants support a con man like Trump. Have you guys listened to his MAGA base like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and other of his surrogates and see the kind of venom that comes out of their mouth? MAGA is not about policy, it is about " white grievances " and you guys are being used without knowing.

Trump had the opportunity to pick Tim Scott or Vivek as VP but his racist mindset can't accept the idea a non white man being next in line to the presidency. He has not recovered from the fact that Obama was allowed to be president or the fact that a black woman is tryingto be president. Those 2 people debased themselves supporting Trump more than anyone yet he forgave someone who called him unprintable names just years ago to be his VP. How is JD Vance better than those 2 people? Non white men don't qualify for those positions, they are product of DEI.

Make no mistake, I don't like liberals. My preference for leadership are moderate conservatives who don't subscribe to hate of other people and apply common sense in governance something liberals lack. But I will take any liberal over Trump any day. He will still likely win as there is a silent " white grievance" powering his campaign. He has used it before and it worked for him, it can still work this time especially since there are many naive people out there who think MAGA is just about policy.

Mujtahida:
Owngoal will destroy Nigerian football one day with their many atrocious lies. They were the ones who came up with the news that Eguavoen has quit.

Turns out it's a lie.

potland:
Give oliseh the job

M7even:
In our other group match, Gernet Rohr's Benin Republic, came from behind to beat Libya 2-1.

semid4lyfe:
Jose Peseiro did something good for us.

He made us realize that a 5-man defence (3 centre backs and 2 wing backs) and 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 is the best formations suited to our players and the team.

This formation puts more bodies in defense giving the team defensive solidity. Also, it gives us width on the flanks with the wingbacks allowing them to bomb forward and tuck into the midfield when necessary.

I doubt Eguavoen would have played this formation if not for the last AFCON where Peseiro deployed it so effectively cos in his previous stints as coach of the Super Eagles, he never played that way. In addition, his "tactical analysis" before AFCON 2022 and the Nigeria-Ghana WCQ match formations showed he was stuck on 4-4-2/4-3-3

This time around, Eguavoen has shown adaptability and a fast learning curve with his tactical decisions. I also like that he's eloquent, and instills confidence and belief in the team. In addition, his player invitations are fair and unlike his predecessor, he doesn't do the silly home-based quota thing.

My only gripe with AE is his susceptibility to influence fron football journalists and analysts, and sometimes poor in-match management but so far, so good.

With the benefit of hindsight, appointing Finidi George was an error. ...one that may ultimately cost us the World cup ticket. I still cannot fathom why he ditched the system that got the team to the AFCON final.

Perhaps, if Eguavoen had been appointed to tinker the team after the AFCON, we wouldn't be in this precarious situation in the WCQ.

I believe Eguavoen should be allowed to take charge of the AFCON and WC qualifiers, and if he does well, he should be appointed as the substantive coach with a long time contract.

mekabuachi:
Unrelated tho... Iwobi no know say one-day e go siddon for bench 90 minutes... Baba shock💔😂😂

mekabuachi:
Which Kain play be this?😳

potland:
don't vex me. When eguavoen fails now, you and your cronies will recoil to your shell like snails and say nothing

Amedino99:
Seems poor maintenance culture is wide across Africa. Even the well touted Rwanda can't maintain a stadium they refurbished and open in freaking JULY.

Mujtahida:
Nigerians. Their cry is always gimme gimme gimme. No patience, no faith.

Walahi if I were the one in charge, Eguavoen would have continued after failing to qualify us for the WC. Yes. Success is a process that involves failure. We want to succeed, we don't want to fail. But you cannot succeed, without failing.

Jpes was losing matches, drawing matches. We allow am. He took us to AFCON finals. If it's our own, two match with bad results, they start crying sack sack sack.

Mujtahida:
From coach to coach Nacho appears to have become a fringe player. Even on the thread, nobody seem to care. 😏😏

TheGoodJoe:
That is why I am talking about the shape of the team. We need more midfield adherence from the coaching crew.

With Onyedika, Iwobi and Dele Bashiru, we can comfortably knock the ball to create clear chances for the forwards. With Bruno and Aina, you have two players that can move with and without the ball soundly. Semi and Ekong are good ball players. Ndah and Bassey are sound too. We have no excuse not to play in a more controlled manner.

I expect Eguavoen to work on this going forward. He really had time to prepare for the game. I can cut him some slack due to that.

Starboytwo:
I enjoyed the game today.

Very interesting match. I'm sure President Paul kagame enjoyed it too.

They will come to God'swill Akpabio too and this time their President won't follow them.

TheGoodJoe:
The way we are set up make us miss on our offensive strength. We use three at the back because we are rushing the ball out. If we have more control and deny the opposition chances with the ball, we won't need three.

It is also shocking with three central defenders, we can't knock the ball out of the defence.

Let us hold the ball more and build more attacks for our forwards.

charlesemeka85:
9 shots on target is a testament that the team was just unlucky today 😞

This na game wey dem suppose win with atleast 2 goals

Mujtahida:
We dey ever gree make dem learn? See Boniface feeling his way but we don't want him to get into the groove.

Small time now they will remove Eguavoen and we will start all over again. All the knowledge gathered will be lost.

charlesemeka85:
I watched the game from start to finish and I must commend their performance today, the very reason why I am advocating for AE to be given the job permanently

T[b]he boys were just unlucky, even Boniface had his best game for the team since making his debut
[/b]
They all balled well

viccy12:
I am tired of Ndidi and yall know I never rated him. You can't give what you don't have. Put Onyedika there and let Onyeka fill in for Iwobi is need be

mekabuachi:
Please can anyone post the match starts here...
