Nigeria Squad Update : Aaron Samuel Replaces Injured Arsenal Star Iwobi, Agbo Called Up
Published: August 27, 2017


CSKA Moscow striker Aaron Samuel has been handed a late invitation to the Nigerian national team ahead of their World Cup qualifying match against African champions Cameroon.
Arsenal striker Alex Iwobi has withdrawn from the squad due to an undisclosed injury and the Nigerian Federation moved quickly to invite Samuel, who was initially placed on the standby list.
The 23-year-old frontman has not figured for the Super Eagles since June 13, 2015 when he lasted 62 minutes on the pitch in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad.
Standard Liege defensive midfielder Uche Agbo has also received a late invitation from the Nigerian Federation.
Both players are expected to arrive the national team's training camp as from Monday, August 28.

Ex Nigeria U23 Invitee Has Contributed To The Most Goals In Belgian Top-Flight
Published: August 27, 2017

Former Nigeria U23 invitee Peter Olayinka is adapting to his new surroundings at Zulte-Waregem, with the striker netting for the second consecutive game in their 3-2 loss to Sporting Charleroi on Saturday evening.
Zulte-Waregem were 1-0 up at the break thanks to Peter Olayinka's 44th minute strike, after he was teed up by De Pauw.
The 21-year-old has now contributed to eight goals (2 goals, 6 assists) from five matches in the league so far this season, more than any other player in the Belgian top-flight.
It is worthy of note that Olayinka has started all the matches contested by Zulte-Waregem in the new season, logging 534 minutes.
The in-form attacker is spending the whole of this season at Zulte-Waregem on loan from Gent.

This loud mouth Floyd!
Heard the least ticket for the match would set a brother back a whopping $1335. That's almost 500k Nigerian.
Biko even the fight between David and Goliath was free

Lol....nor mind them

pay to watch a fight...

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! What is uncultured? If I no go school e concern you?

The cultured one, tell me why Onyekuru is better than Simon Moses and Ahmed Musa?

I hope you answer with sense with all the education you have acquired? Mr Cultured and tribalism.

you've proved it true....that common sense is indeed a flower that does not grow in every man's garden...

just take a look at yourself.....
go back and read my comments and replies I never for once make case for onyekuru better than musa or Simon Moses in these all important cameroon clash....

I only advocated for the inclusion of yinka, Dennis,dressiers and kayode inclusion but after the debate wit sir icon4s I rested my case believing that these players time will come....

I understand you're trying to blackmail me as a tribalist unfortunately I don't share same ethnic group wit onyekuru and many of these players....

my love for nacho and others are simply born out of their potentials and talents...

because by tribe.....I am very far from them...I am not an ibo neither do I speak the dialect I have never been to southeast.

I have opposed the inclusion of players from my ethnic group here.....when it is obvious and glaring to me that they've little or nothing to offer....



I know these won't make sense....to you
but I just want you to try behave yourself as much as you can....

ChrisKels:
If u truly were there at kickoff ( which I was one of the e-war Lords fighting Ghanaians and SAs), then u must know this moniker "denonso1", the exact replica of honorable sir Forgiveness here. I miss Game147 and my fellow warrior Colynzo though

yeah and kola us.....
he was a pro keshi fan

Joebie:
Very true. People who always focus on wining learn nothing. No one can know it all. I've conceded in discussions here. Didn't remove anything from me

yeah.....exactly
initially the omission of kayode, Dennis and dressiers really made me angry wit rohr...
but after Sir Icon4s wrote on it...
I see reason in rohr's decision....
who knows if I was the coach....my decisions would have still made millions of Nigerians...angry...
off course no man can please everybody

TheGoodJoe:
And then initiated Rohr into a secret cult. Do not forget to add this.

Lol....abeg oga goodjoe e don do na

Joebie:
Haha my brother, it is real. That's why Nigeria has been backward

thanks bro...
I just wanna let everything rest....
but it calls for readjustment should nearly everyone have same problem wit you...only the wisewill borrow a leaf
what should be our concern now...should be the team strategies and plans to beat Cameroon....
I wanna fix my mind on that

I have learnt so much on these thread...long before I joined nairaland....and even from kick-off Nigeria...and SL10
I have come to know....that it is not every time i must have my way...and that there is always something to learn from anybody...

ChrisKels:
Ogbeni e dun do. Just do like say u no dey see d posts, and him go resort to another self imposed exile. U come new here?

Where is Supernerd sef?

thanks

Joebie:
you know some of us here believe SE should reflect federal character. It's pathetic.

please don't make me laugh....
is it federal government job?
I have read a comment by one northerner on vanguard like that....
I was so ashamed...asking for the need for federal character....in football selection .

safarigirl:
education does not bestow wisdom on anyone and neither does age.

If you no get am, you no get am. He's just a caricature

you're very right...
sometimes I think someone can become a little more reasonable....more rational in thinking and better behaved wit education but he just proved me wrong....

TheGoodJoe:
I tire. Especially when he accused Rohr of Cultism.

Lol....you've not seen anything yet.

safarigirl:
he can go on another self exile and never return sef, he will not be missed.

How can someone just come here and be causing trouble and we are all expected to ignore him in the name of peace? This man is supposed to be older than majority of us on this thread, so why should we act mature on his behalf?

I don't care what anyone says, as long as he continues to make biased calls, I will keep pointing out the obvious.

I doubt if he ever allow education pass through him...

there is no wisdom in the way he talks

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! See referee untop em own matter.

Since, you have agreed your political inclined person, and going by the definition of politics and why people go into politics, you are not different from those of your accusers....

What is.? Humility017 na Tribalism... Haha! I never ask question finish na. Were wayoooo!

you're so uncultured...
writing like someone who never went to school....
sometimes the way u talk eeehhh...

ebonflexy:
What did your mum say is wrong about pleasuring your wife in bed?
And What does christianity have to do with it?

Unless you can show where it is even implied in the bible where it says MouthAction with your spouse is a sin, please be quiet and don't add things/burdens to the bible that God did not add just because you are trying to feel self-righteous about a topic. Last I read, curses follow such.
Not even God Himself likes self-righteous grand-standing.

Leave it at your opinion and don't start formulating "God said..." into things just because you're trying to win an insignificant argument.

Lol....
keep it up to you...
ok....and please don't pity my wife to be.

krattoss:
For the sake of ndidi and nacho....Leicester still has a long way to go

seriously especially wit Shakespeare kind of coach....

ebonflexy:
LOL
1- How do you know your parents never did? Did you ask them?
2- Even if yes, You better align yourself with your current generation's realities. People of this generation are more open-eye than previous and demand more experiences from their lovers. If your woman one day has to ask you to suck dat ting (as if she should even ask) and you are forming "my father and his father before him only did one thing one way like this", na your own fault what transpires years down the line of that relationship.

pure nonsense.....
my mom has warned me severally about it....
i will rather not marry then engage in such...
it is left to you...and good for you.
but for me...I can't moreover it does not go with my personal Christian beliefs...

tbaba1234:
Aina is not 'reconsidering'... He will not be invited otherwise. Even Tammy will be more than willing to play for Nigeria. It depends on the approach. For now, Tammy is not a priority. If we can pull off 2 wins against Cameroon, then we can start looking at options like Tammy.

let's hope so....because these lads...are so much in love wit 3 Lions....

I will want us get dressiers and if possible get Tammy as well...
but I think...he has the door open for him...
considering his dad....closeness wit pinnick

Joebie:
As long as the 3 Lions ain't calling him soon, we still have a chance

recently he was called for the England under 21 Matches

I wish him all the best...though I would have love see him play for us...but I don't think that is still possible....

even Aina might even be reconsidering....these lads have one undue love for the 3 Lions I tell you....

Joebie:
Especially as regards the call for new inclusions I've seen the sentiments on this page.

I tell you....they're many here you will never know where they hail from...reason because of their sound arguement and debate deviod of sentiments....
but definitely not the case wit others...
I am a political inclined person...I avoid politics thread because of these.....

often the thread is polarized along two poles wit tribal monsters feasting on each other.....

Joebie:
None of these players got immediate call up when they started performing. Why should Olayinka's case be different? That's where the sentiments really is. Iheanacho has earned his place in the team he won't get fizzled out over night. Suck it in. This is not a case of anyone hating on a specific player. We all know how it took Odey a while before he got his chance. Olayinka's case won't be different. For now Onyekuru is already in the SE set up. Olayinka should wait to grab his chance. Let's all stop this A versus B argument. There is no foul play in selection, in the first place. If you believe otherwise try to pass your message to the appropriate quarters instead of nagging on an ordinary forum like nairaland

bro...you're wasting your time talking to him.
I have already made know...the reason for his argument...simply looking at the names of the players will tell you that.

Joebie:
Nobody celebrated Tammy Abraham today Na wa o

the guy is gradually becoming a full fledge English international...
that guy will never play for us...so forget it.

I don't see him as a Nigeria footballer anymore but a soon to be England international

bessel10:
Up united

down United.....

blueto:
Dialogue is about discussion with the intent to understand – not debate with the intent to win. - Jesse Lyn Stoner

you're right bro.....
sometimes we just need to understand that it is not all the time we must have our way...
we must learn to compromise sometimes
and accept decisions we just can't change but manage it....

Joebie:
"as if their lives depend on it" -- I like that

I had to make mention of tribalism the other time...because that appears the only angle to me...where they're arguing from and no other....

ebonflexy:
I pity her...

pity who? my parents never did that...but they lived happily with all the sex styles and flicks divorce is still on the increase

blueto:
don't forget he had a debut against Arsenal. lets hope he impresses when he comes on during the match.

yeah...that's true..
thats a game I never want to remember
thanks

Kog45:
That's d truth,half fit Keshi was in US 94 squad at d expense of fully fit Isaac Semitoje,half fit Amokachie was in France 98 ditto to Amuneke who made Atlanta 96 despite lack of fitness

in any team we always have special consideration but Kayode has not merit such consideration.No coach w drop Nacho for now coz his pedigree is high and its better to have fit Nwakaeme over half fit Kayode coz they belong to d same class.

God bless you my brother....
from all indications I can see the rationale for the call of nwakeme over kayode even kayode handlers confirmed it....

but some peeps here won't reason it...
recently the Europa and ucl qualifiers and we see these lad nwakeme bag in goals....
but kayode hasn't play for a while just recently he got a 10 minutes debut against A Madrid...
if we keep arguing about this...how about Isaac success.....the beast who had over 30 minutes play time during the week and even contributed in his team goal....




sometimes I just can't deduce why some advocate for some players from just a certain part of the country as if their lives depend on it...and even go insult the German coach.....

the underlying rationale for such disposition I still can't deduce....

blueto:
Iheanacho on bench for Leicester against Man utd

hope Shakespeare' give him a debut...
he scored against Manchester the lay time
...

Kog45:
Kayode has not merit such special consideration to be invited half fit but player like Nacho,Mikel,Moses can be invited half fit if they believe they can do it or do u think Rohr w invite half fit Nwakaeme or Awaziem to camp

he is one of those players that can be replaced for the now...so I don't understand the reason for the nag

joseph1013:
Stop bringing tribe to everything. Can't you make your arguments and oppose him without using that word? Why are we like this in this country?

it is not about using the word but acting it...
it will make more sense....if we eschew it from our dispositions and reasoning....
