Mujtahida:
Me I think Rohr has to approach this WC with some flexibility. Each opponent might require a different tactical set up and different players. Different players does not mean he should change the team so much. Just throw in one, two, three players to start certain games and that might do the magic. But if we stick to this idea that you never change a winning team, toh, it's a double edged sword. The winning team of yesterday might continue to win or it might lose. All na risk.

But this was what keshi was doing then and we accused him of not having a starting 11 if you remember very well. I agree with you though, football has gone so dynamic that it took a Gareth bale to introduced as a sub for real Madrid to win that champs league for a third time in a row. Rohr needs to be flexible. There are matches iheanacho or even a musa should start while folks like moses can come in the second half. For Cameroon to win afcon, even a whole abubakar was coming in as a sub. That's how dynamic football is. Onazi today was not a regular until he came to replace a fegor ogude in the quarter final against civ when ogude was suspended for the match so why can't onazi be benched now if we have better options

Na dribble we wan chop, make moses park one side jor. Na so we dey hail okocha those days till Denmark chop us 4-1. These are the reasons moses don't give a damn when he plays poorly for us including tonite game. Smh

kennysville:
No let Oga Icons4s cat h you with that statement o! Drop our only "weapon of mass destruction"? For what na?

No be all of una dey talk say him be the only attacking threat una get?

me am not one of those moses worshippers that feel he is not doing any wrong. Na the croatia match i dey wait. Let's hope moses won't fumble like he did in our first match against iran in 2014. Dude is a suspect and we are indulging him, attacking threat my foot.

isan:
I hope Joel obi and onazi don pack their bag already

if Joel and onazi read this thread today, dem go cry chai even their family members when they read this thread, na to declare fasting and prayer against village people things o!

BascoVanVeli:
Bros u are free to tell us his flaws but Rohr will start him against Croatia barring injury(Knock on wood).

God willing and hope we all know that the croatia game is key to our moving forward. There will be no more excuse for any flop from any player. That game will decide the future of all those who will play in that game

BascoVanVeli:
Mikel got his act together to do what? Lets call a spade a spade, our captain didn't have his best match nothing really worked out for him today. He created shi shi.

I am not worried about Mikel just like I am not worried about ViMo and I bet Rohr isn't either. Give them another match and they will pick right up.

if mikel created shi shi, then moses created what? wor wor I think. we are over looking moses fault now just like some of us have been over looking joel's fault until alarm finally blow today. I hope same won't happen with moses.

EEGA:
My brother the midfield was very poor in the first-half.Poor DM and CM.

Onazi shouldn't be starting games.I expected Joel to show his quality in this match but he failed.

Both Onazi and Joel made Mikel poor in the first-half.They subjected our defence to so much pressure,but Uzoho was calm,made saves and commanded his area well.

Uzoho was very very good today.

At a time a guy at my back was like this keeper na Dea Gea ooo.

Stop criticising the young man.You want us to bring back Enyeama and repeat the same mistake we made with Rufai.

An Enyeama that now keeps for the U21's.Do you think he will still have that zeal players are known for?

At least Uzoho can keep with hope that a top club can sign him.Can such be said of Enyeama.

The Uzoho I saw today is ready for the WC and deserves the Eagles no 1 Jersey.

Having Kept against Argentina,Poland and England,he is ready for the big stage.
Uzoho will never be as poor as Marius was in UCL finals.

I love Omeruo, he showed today that he is miles ahead of Awaziem, but he should remain a back-up to the Oyibo wall.

Who and who still dey see Shehu as first choice?

Ebuehi proved again that he is too good for the bench and deserves to be first-choice RB.

Iwobi oo,without him their is no Russia for Eagles.Who and who will still start Simon ahead of him?

Vic.Mo and selfish football, this is the same reason he was subbed against Iran and only returned to starting line-up due to injury to Babatunde.We just need one more winger or even Lokosa if vic.Mo fails to play the "one-touch two go football" we played against Argentina.Vic.Mo should learn to pass the ball and stop being selfish.A man at my left said "Moses just dey play like this because nobody fit bench am".

Kudos to the boys they played well .

Ogu and Etebo is going to Russia.

God bless you, moses matter don tire me. I expect moses to retire from the national team after the world cup whether we do well or not so we can quickly develop younger players. our problem in nigeria is that we are so much in love with fancy football whether its good for the team or not. This was why we kept okocha too long in the national team and we could not solve our central midfield for donkey years. Moses can be benched but rohr is conservative

BascoVanVeli:
Would you also bench Mikel? He sucked today btw

mikel got his acts together as the game progressed but can we say same for moses? look here am only scared for history repeating itself on moses issue, the dude has done well for us within the african borders but beyond africa, even the likes of musa has done better, why?

moses had to be dropped to the bench in 2014 for us to have a chance to qualify for the second round, he is regarded as Nigeria's best export player so for how long will that be on paper and not be in reality when it matters most, mhen am sick of moses

BascoVanVeli:
Lets not go crazy here.

crazy about what? abegi

MetalJigsaw:
Moses should be on the bench?? laughable..

oga, it's not laughable anymore, moses should start from the bench unless iwobi is injured. period

sontoly:
I repeat Onazi and em brother joel should be dropped they offered nothing , and rohr shouldnt try playing ogu in the left side of three man defence again, it worked today doesnt mean it will work tomorrow, ogu is not a defender he is not that fast.

Ogu , ndidi and mikel is the perfect midfield combo, if rohr dont see this am sorry he is fool then. Iwobi is better in midfield than wings. when playing 3-5-2 iheanacho n iwobi shld play together just like against argies.

But when playing 4-3-3 vic mosses- simy/igalo - musa should play preferable simy so he can connect with the crosses cos ighalo was useless with the crosses sent to him today, though most were wayward.

onazi n joel shld go abeg.

Honestly I expect more of this iheanacho-iwobi combo, makes our attack more mobile, rohr should be starting games with this combo, they were key to us even beating the zambians away and the algerians at home which made us pick valuable points to qualification.

I finally agree with those who say rohr is conservative.

Martz101:
good players usually have bad games sometime

not when it matters please, moses was a flop in 2014, looks like it will happen again in 2018, if am rohr, moses will only be coming in second half of our games, are you aware a babatunde from no where benched moses in 2014? I see another player benching moses again, am tired of the guy abeg. onazi na confime flop, perhaps an ndidi has been covering up for him all this while

goldfish80:
He did well. I must admit, he has improved but still, a top goalie should be saving that 2nd goal. If nobody blames him, he won't improve. Period

I agree with you, same thing happened against serbia, again it's down to confidence, these boys are lacking in confidence in our first half games and it's worrying. if uzoho had played in the first half in the argentina game, he would have conceded

don't know if am the only one noticing it, this team tends to start play with lack of confidence when they play european teams or bigger teams, It showed in games against argentina, poland, serbia and england. reason we conceded cheap and early goals. It's a shame with players like mikel, moses and others who play abroad and has faced these big players at club levels.

The Nff should do something about this urgently cos in this game, the same England that looked bigger in the first half look so small in the second half.

Are our players suffering stage fright? this is where croatia and even iceland could edge it. The boys only seem to increase in confidence in the second half and it's scaring

Bolowolowo:
We must play full strength against the Czech to test our 1st 11

are you sure we have a first 11 yet with what moses and onazi played today, hmmm, me think those fellows should not start our games again,

forgiveness:
This is what I am talking about. Who will now replace tired Iwobi or Mikel?

this is where moses simon will be missed

Mujtahida:
Joel's energy is a negative kind of energy. Makes the whole team vibrate at a level that is unnatural to us

both joel and his negative energy should be dropped, I can't shout abeg

nelszx:
I've said it over and over again
Onazi, Joel and Agu are no where match where Ogu is.
Put Ogu to sit deep those long balls to Kane will be out
Rorh should drop Onazi and Joel or one of them
Ighalo be waiting for ball without breaking a sweat for it. Switch formation to 3-5-2 take out Ighalo and Onazi and put Iheanacho and Ogu. We need athleticism to run down the English backline

Agreed

I think rohr knows the players to drop now, onazi and Joel obi. I can't shout abeg, if na one, Joel should be dropped

Hope Joel obi fans can allow us rest now

This is a serious environmental issue which is the root cause of the Fulani herdsmen crisis i.e the desertification going on in the northern part of the country. These northern folks are thinking long term and are so smart. It's high time our southern lawmakers begin to study more about the aquatic environment in order to understand eco system conservation and management. Akpabio clearly spoke from that level of understanding of the environment especially as a former governor of a littoral state. This is why dummies should not be voted into the legislature. I have seen senator olamilekan too in an environmental conservation program before so no wonder he supported akpabio position.

Too many dummies in the legislature. How can FG decide to divert a river in a particular state elsewhere? There is an issue of I know of few years back in a north Eastern state, can't remember which state exactly where because dangote want to have a sugar factory there, an irrigation dam is proposed to be constructed that will divert the course of the hadeija river. I know the states around there have been fighting against the dam construction because of the serious environmental impact. Don't know how far that issue now but the fact is we can no longer afford dummies in the govt who have no scientific or technical knowledge that will bring sustainable development. Very costly I tell you e.g. buhari and the former environment minister had no good scientific knowledge of the Paris agreement for climate change and they went ahead to sign the damn thing and today we can't have coal powered plants to boost power supply because of that silly decision. Nonsense

charlesemeka85:
you are too negative minded.all this hate just because kayode wasnt good enough for the worldcup. better try hugging a transformer near you

the guy is so bitter, we are all in big trouble on this thread if the SE do poorly in Russia cos left to him Kayode should have been our captain to Russia

blakid:
Great innovation by the lagos state government. But one major issue is, what will become of danfo drivers and conductors, if they are finally asked not to operate on lagos roads. Me i'm seeing increase crime rate in lagos state if they are not well planned for.

same excuse we gave when molue was sent off Lagos roads, do we want development or not?

Tragic.. I remember Uche Okechukwu from the back was the first person to celebrate with Yekini. I hope the present team maintain a good spirit.

Daninya11:
Zizu has set a record unmatched and unrivalled.He won 9 trophies In 3 years and 3 were the UCL trophies.

With the future uncertainty of Bale and Cr7,it was time he left when the ovation was highest..

Perez was going to fire him all the same because of his team calamitous outing in the LA Liga...

na beg dem go dey beg now, na so life be me am happy for Zidane o. He took wisest decision I have seen of any manager.

You're right.
Op just focused on Abakaliki. The other towns are also receiving attention. I plied the Amasiri -Okposi road in February and I was impressed by the quality of the road built by Umahi.

But all of this notwithstanding, I worry about the poverty level. Truth be told : Ebonyi people are poor and the literacy level is the lowest of the South East.
The only functional industry is Agriculture and unless you add value to agricultural products, the farmers will remain poor.
I know an Umahi media aide must be on this forum.
Tell him to develop the people even as he is developing the environment.
Let him seek out strategic partnerships with any willing group that will ensure job creation and revenue generation for Ebonyi. Posterity will be kind to him

The next Governor should come and fix that, when the osun Governor was distributing free tablets to Public School pupils, people said all sorts of unprintable things. No Governor can fix every issue of a state at the same time. It's best Governors focus on a particular area of development that the results will be visible and let their successors come and focus on another area. Gradually with that approach, we will develop but if we pressurize them to do everything, they end up doing nothing and we the people will complain again so what exactly do we want?

UfuomaUN:
Whenever development is discussed, nairalanders think it's about building flyovers, water fountain and beautiful street lights. The soul of a city is in economic power. Every other thing is although important but should not be taken as priority. There are a couple of Nigerian state capitals I've been to with beautiful painted bridges running through poverty stricken slums and shanties. You'll find only okada, marwa playing the flyovers and you'll keep wondering whether the bridges were built to solve a specific traffic need or just to take pictures for election propaganda.

Any Governor building infrastructure should be encouraged cos that is the soul of economic development, let the next Governor come and empower the people economically. This is how we complained when Akpabio built the stadium in uyo but today that city host first grade international matches, do you know the economic gains that brings to the state?

Aregbesola has been improving infrastructure in osun state and people have been saying all sort of things, we need to be sure of what we truly want in Nigeria if we truly want to develop.

Thumbs up to the ebonyi Governor, whoever succeeds him needs to beat the set standard. Some states today are yet to exceed the infrastructural development set by their former Governors in the 60s and 70s, what a shame.

There's the silver lining on those figures you displayed : the mega-benevolent. The media is so awash with the negatives you hardly see such positive role models
Let me read more about them.
Thanks for sharing that information

Most of them actually do even here in Nigeria but the media will never talk about them, I blame the churches too, sometimes they do not push those mega charity stuff they do regularly to the media out there for the whole world to know.

You just need to find out what churches like House on the Rock are doing for the Prisons and you will be shocked to find out the millions they are pouring there to better the lives of inmates, I know so much cos a close friend is deeply involved.

Churches all over the world in the uk, america and everywhere are doing great stuff that even governments can't deny but the haters will continue in their attacks cos they seem not not understand why on earth the church has access to such huge resources and they will never understand cos it's way beyond the natural
