forgiveness:
I want Icon4 to be among the committee, much more than you think because I know he is more dedicated to it than anyone of us here but since the indirect democratic process was used to elect the electorate, the direct democratic process you want to introduce, can nologer be used or introduced at the end of the election.

However, since, the Liberty and Equality which are the elements of democracy were encouraged/practiced during the direct democratic process as agreed, there should be no room for magomago or sentiment afterwards.

Icons4 exercised these same liberty and equality as much as everyone here did and that was why he didn't object when 1,2,3 & 4 electorates nominated him during the election but unfortunately, he lost out and he accepted it in good faith and I hope he respects the decision of the electorates.

I really respected him for that because his actions promote true democracy. Unlike the wayo wayo one way you wan bring up.

Anyway, this has become a challenge for those who have become trustees (elected representative) to carry-out the idea and interest of the trustors (voters). Icons4 can act as the chief advisor and chief sponsor.

As Safari rightly suggested, let us begin by electing the chairman of the committee.

Oya, over to you to conduct the election. Let sentiment rest, oh...ha!


NB: Liberty connotes the opportunity to choose or participate in choosing while Equality the connotes that choice of a person or his opportunity to choose is as that of any other persons.

you're very cunning sha...

in a democracy the will of the majority prevails...
and also the majority have the right to exercise their rights at will..... but through a lawful means...

are there written statutes that voting into the committee and rescinding of decisions on committee members ought to follow in this thread? ??


if none, the majority over 22 nairalanders want icon to be included in the award committee and there is nothing you can do about it.....

you didn't read where some of us here cited that, they didn't get to understand the voting process thinking Icon and Andrew already had automatic admission into the committee board....

laws are made by men and same men in overwhelming majority can amend and re-enact same laws.....even a rigid constitution can be amended.

Queens Park Rangers Star Eze Tells NFF Boss : I Want To Be The Captain Of Nigeria

Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick has assured Super Eagles fans that he's doing everything possible to make Queens Park Rangers young sensation Eberechi Eze commit his international future to Nigeria.


Eze trained with the Super Eagles before a cancelled friendly against Burkina Faso in March 2017 but since then his status has changed, having played seven friendly matches for England U20s.

And things will become more difficult for the Nigeria Football Federation in their attempt to lure the attacking midfielder if he goes ahead to make his competitive debut for the England U21 team this month as he has been handed a call-up for the Euro qualifier against Albania.

Pinnick is expected to travel to London in the coming weeks for talks with Eze and his camp and it is claimed that the player has informed the NFF boss he wants to captain the Super Eagles in future.

In an interview with Channels Television monitored by allnigeriasoccer.com on Monday morning, Pinnick provided an update on Eze, saying : ''I have been taking to him (Eze), I speak to him everyday, I speak to his father, I speak to everybody.

He's an excellent player, he loves this country that I can tell you.

''He is a young player, he wants to be given a bit of time but I talk to his dad, I talk to him, I'll meet them soon in London, we cannot allow such a talent to go.

''And he even told me jokingly, 'President I want to be the captain of Nigeria some day', I was so excited about that and said, 'Why not, you play like Jay-Jay, Jay-Jay was captain so you can be another captain'.

''He loves this country, I don't think we want to allow that talent to go''.

In 16 outings for Queens Park Rangers in the EFL Championship this season, Eze has been involved in 10 goals (6 goals, 4 assists).

what a confused lad....he has the opportunity now to make the team at such a tender age and surely rise up the ladder in no distance time as an international for the most populated black nation on earth...
but instead he opted for the English under 21....so bad.

anyway I must commend Pinnick for this even though I am not so happy with him...

ChrisKels:
Actually I never knew icon4s and Andrew were candidates to be voted too, I thought the two were picked automatically and the voting was to get a few others to join them in the parliament. It sounds funny some guys ( somehow, komkne,forgiveness et al) who have no clue what moves the initiator of this whole stuff has made to make this recognized outside this thread, are against having him in. I didn't understand the whole voting process and if the brain, sole organizer and financier of this award isnt in, then I don't see the need to continue with this, it is sure headed nowhere, Bkus I doubt anybody is gonna be as dedicated as Icons and sacrifice his time to get the plaques to the appropriate offices.


Hey guys if icons isn't in, then I ain't no party to this, my vote is null and avoid. I no be Una member so my vote shouldn't count.

me too...over 19 likes on the post calling for icon admission into the award committee board... I think that alone is an overwhelming majority...


should forgiveness, somehow and komekn still pick against...and icon refuse participate then I tender my earlier vote null and void...

because still remember how icons4 severely call up and chase komekn the last time who was the committee member to come in finish up with the nomination...the UK based football guru forgot that he was even a committee member and that there was responsibilities attached to the role.....

though not to dice anyone...some peeps sometimes just want to steer up controversy when not necessary.

safarigirl:
What are you thanking? Dunk is on suspension, till November 30th, so, Balogun will be the one to face Leicester most likely

that suspension long ooo

forgiveness:
Tomorrow, you will come and be shouting kwurruption.

your reasoning ehh.
you look very much like a difficult person in real life....so sorry to say.

didn't you read the part where I said... I and many others here initially thought icons4 had automatic inclusion into the committee board...

will you make those awards art work with your personal money and also go to NFF office in wuse to drop it with the nff Secretary?

sometimes when you someone willing to go extra mile to make things work.... why being rigid


better vote now or still pass and act as if you never saw the post

zicky:
Same here, I saw icon4 as jega, so was not expecting him to be part of the nominations. When I saw his name on the list with 4 votes I was surprised

to.be honest with you...I don't understand the controversy somehow is trying to create with this...I just don't understand.

it is not a money making venture..moreover oga icon even used his money the last time to carve this award art work and relay them to the NFF...
me don't understand at all....

it is funny ooo

komekn:
I have said before that the league you play in is not a conclusive deduction of the quality of the club and or the players.

Ajax is in a league the Eredivisie which is rated much lower than the Turkish league. But in reality can any team in Turkey stand with Ajax we can go further can any team in the Portuguese league stand with Ajax currently.

I say this because there has been a lot of derogatory comments and degradation of the Scottish league. However, l feel that it has be taken in context.

Last week Celtic were able to beat Lazio and Rangers beat Porto. Statistically speaking that should really be impossible.

So if a player is doing well consistently standing out with top class performances. It should tell us something about quality. Aribo has proven that beyond all doubt.

I agree with this...reason why I rate Olayinka so highly...he is somehow a winger I believe has so much potentials and unique traits most of our wingers don't have... I rate him high...forget about the league..

but for such a player and club to give clubs like Bercelona and Inter a run for their money it shows there is something good about him and his teammates

komekn:
That's not a merit based system but a discriminatory and excluding one. That's essentially favoritism.

It enthrones mediocrity so because your in Nigeria born and or bred you should be favoured.

The NFF youth teams are not a social welfare programme.

komekn I am with you on this one....
let the best be picked without prejudice or jaundiced... irrespective of where their dual nationality status....

I hate it when we exclude certain players all because they're foreign born...let's go for the best and not allow sentiments ride on our plans to build a formidable national team

Utonwanne:
Nothing against chief Icon, he's a father figure here, that said. Am also confused why these 16+ likers didn't vote at first.

Am indifferent on the matter anyway

me was thinking him and Andrew had automatical inclusion in the committee board... reason why I didn't vote him oooh.
so I think some had same notion too.

I really want him there because of the members often times get so busy that they need a constant reminder of their duties and the deadline for their tasks... he did it perfectly well last year...and I am expecting him to do same this year until someone else springs up to take charge in his place as we progress

TheSuperNerd:
We have done this already. The people have spoken. No need dragging it further. It is okay.

then why is Oga raising dusts and even Joebie is stylishly supporting him in one of his mentions

nawa oooo

somehow:
All names were up for nomination in this one for
almost 3 weeks and everyone had equal opportunity so there is no correlation here.

so you didn't the part where I said.... I initially thought icons4 and Andrew had automatic inclusion...

why are you saying this
sometimes I just don't understand you...
anyway I have stated it up there ..

a simply YES/NO vote if icons4 is to be Included in the committee board or not...

please do well to cast your vote.
okay....it is a very open process....

Please if you're in support of Icons4 automatic admission into the committee board of the Nairaland Sports award....

somehow:
I'm talking logic here not emotions.

I have made my point and moved on. not like I've any stake here.

Just stating the obvious.

Let democracy be democracy.

Made my point as usual.

kapish.

and you think....it was the right thing to start discrediting the good work they're doing all because you wanna preach democracy rather than seek for an avenue to bring legitimacy to the work....

it wasn't helpful.... you know.
someone suggested it and the post got over 16 Likes and what will you call that

what is democracy to you...that one of the electorate asked for the inclusion of a pioneer member into the committee board and the post got overwhelming majority of over 16 Likes...is that not democracy...?

this is one committee that I see it's end result to be well represented and have been so fun and lively since it's introduction so let's enjoy it...and give it out utmost support...

Probably we can cast a simple vote like a referendum (Yes/No) whether Icons4 should be admitted into the committee board

somehow:
Na real was

Most Nigerians are like their politicians jare

you just type anyhow...if you've been following this award stuff since last year and safarigurl post imploring icon to come on board you won't have spill those words...


sorry to say this....u know I have always talk this always with you... you barely consider other variables while putting up yr words...


many here including me was thinking Icon and Andrew had automatic ticket into the committee reason why I didn't bother vote him....

he initiated this and last year he planned it...I remember how he severally called up the committee members last year especially komekn who forgot his responsibilities....

Icon4s carried everything on his head....


if you are a good student of politics...you wi understand that one of the demerits of democracy is that the best does not always win some times.... the majority choice may not always be the best....

next time ask for an explanation prior you start accusing some members here of not practicing democracy we have little knowledge about.....

Icon4s:
Manu that doesn't know tactics. His own is all pace and power. He taught those kids nothing. They obviously played with their raw talents.

please don't let Basco catch you...
he always support failed coaches and players like Tijani

tbaba1234:
Imama gave us all the hints of his ability but we still left him to take the team to the tournament.

it is such a pity....I have said it PINNICK era will likely go down as the worst ever NFF chairman/president Nigeria has ever had....


so ashame with his vast experience he is clueless on what to do and the decisions to take..... just can't wait for him to leave come 2022.

so painful...that choose to fail just like Jonathan... I will rarely support niger-deltans for a top job again... because they'll likely messed things up

abbey086:
Full time now CIV 1 Nigeria nil.

Too bad, our chance of going to the Olympic is now very slim, though we still have at least two more matches to go, but this team is not a team you can bank on to do the job.
Very very horrible team.

you've not seen anything yet...

I am not surprised...with that coach...that team likely will not make the Olympics and he will come back to blame mother luck...and trust pinnick to retain him as Rohr assistant....

pinnick like failed coaches.... he adore and glorify them....

safarigirl:
I didn't see any such news when I checked online, hence my request for proof

What was eventually provided as proof, simply didn't suffice as far as substantial proof goes

Dear...anything is possible with Nigeria coaches and the NFF.....

those guys perfectly summed up Nigeria's problem....

Joebie:
The reports have always been there. But she is asking for proof that it’s true or proof that Alaba affirms it.

Nigeria coaches are something else especially in matters of corruption...
I started doubting this manu garba when he left the Chelsea dude on the bench all through the under 17 nations cup and even dropped the arsenal prodigy afterwards....

indigenous coaches and corruption are like 5 & 6

somehow:
Corruption is corruption be it big or small, so no need for comparison.

there is need for comparison Mr.
have you heard comparative government and politics...

you compare and contrast... you can't say or link the corruption in European or non Africa countries to the ones prevalent in Africa...

you can't get a complete perfect system...but still that's not enough reason to rest on guise that being that corruption exist everywhere let's continue to tolerate ours....

only a man who aim not to make progress think that way....

I doubt the cadet team coaches in England would engage in the measure of corruption practised by same coaches in Nigeria....

even with their strict technological measures to abate corruption few cases are reported abroad...let alone Nigeria with inept technology and more cases are reported.....

corruption is the bane of our football growth

pappy2000:
God bless you this is what I really need right now, I think I am getting too emotionally attached to her

I will advise you to suspend the wedding for now....
tell the families that you and your partner need time to sort out some things....

and while the period...take time to do what he advised.... concentrate on your work and side business and see how things goes...if she still didn't change... let her go.


if she insist on terminating the pregnancy...let her know she will endanger her life and her chances of having kids in the future if she goes ahead....

she is not matured at all....

Subzero047:
You didn't even give a valid reason

You are way too sentimental

Lagerbach managed Sweden in 2002 and also iceland afterwards where did pretty well...
also he managed nor way for a short while...
when it comes to country football lagerbach is more rated than Rohr globally...though rohr is experienced with Africa football tho

Subzero047:
How is Lagerback ahead of Rohr?

I think he is highly rated than rohr and more tactically sound compare to him sha.

but with the way NFF be na only Rohr we fit afford and only him fit tolerate our football administrators for now.

BascoVanVeli:
Only a big fat clown will call Manu Garba mediocre or average. I don't even want to read the rest of your nonsense after that.

you see yourself....

only a proud heart thinks men are always right....
a man is adjourned to err because he is human... what do you do to such coaches most times in football...
you relieve them of their job and let them go sort themselves out... after a while they will back with another coaching job where there lies the possibility of not repeating previous mistakes...

that's why coaches are sacked in the epl and other leagues and later re-employed.

your thinking is flawed.... I think probably you're still very young... because it reflects in your words and reasoning.

even at work sometimes managers give their staffs day off or even ask them to request for some days off work from their 30 days annual leave to allow them cool off...

for now manu garba needs to be quietly dropped for another with the opportunity to do better....

if you read my posts earlier...I salute him,amuneke and others as the few good brains we've had currently as far as coaching is concerned but for now...he is very clueless on how to build and scout players for a team...

BascoVanVeli:
Go coach na. Mr Perfect

the fact that I am not a coach does not mean I should glorify mediocrity when I see one.

please sincerely from my heart, not insult ooo


I think you have a low taste and can settle for anything below average or mediocrity so quick...still remember how you were supporting aigbogun on this thread and how Tijani was like Suarez/Cavani to you...





with a population of Over 200m peeps don't think Manu is the best we can offer as an under 17 coach....give others the chance...

finidi, amuneke are all there....give them the job and let's see what they can make out of it... you can't be doing something over and over again...same principles and methods and expect a different result....

BascoVanVeli:
So because Bichi no play dem wan sack am

just imagine what you wrote.... so you think the man should keep the job even when he fails to deliver....? he had fumbled twice now as an under 17 coach....

that performance and players scouting was damn poor even if the nff should smuggled bichi into the team that was not the reason why he failed.....

he messed up.... mediocrity shouldn't be tolerated

somehow:
See question o

Tell us what we achieved during their reign and how they selected players for us

remove Thomas Dennerby because he coached the female term...

Nd for berti Vogts I don't rate him....

but for the Swedish...common sense should teach that he was coach for just few months don't think it was even up to 5 months so that time is always too short for any coach with worthwhile program and plans to implement them....

he just took a team he barely knew and understood to.the world cup

somehow:
Yea yea yea foreign coaches like Denerby las laggerbear and berti vogtwagen

please why do you reason so low on this matter.....
must you think so low and to you...lagerbach is not an astute coach abi? for yr information lagerbach should be ahead of rohr....

OMANBALA1:
That's quite a whip right there. But , I was beginning to think about the kind of billions that goes into region ,yet they have nothing to show for it.

Mazi.....I don't know how to sugarcoat the truth oooo.

you see Delta state is one of the few states in Nigeria with high level of literacy and the people there do go to school but the corruption in their heart and blood is second to none....likewise bayelsa state...and Edo state also come in distance 3rd.

corruption amongst this folks is sickening... warri north is the richest LGA in Nigeria with allocation of over 5B naira annually but go there....you'll see nothing to show for it... when the money comes.... the youth leaders, chiefs and all will rather want their cuts instead of channelling the money for development and capital projects....likewise bayelsa where the warlords all have certain percentage from the state budget....

the budget of this two states is more than of many Africa countries but you won't see anything to show for it....

Mazi just imagine the asaba stadium the shameless delta government serve the super eagles for the few matches played so far.... and what pains me most is that the governor will still come sit in such a stadia not worthy to be a European team training pitch..to watch the super eagles struggle to play in such turf....


it is shameful.... corruption smells in Niger Delta with the headquarter in Delta State...remember then in my school Nadeltsu election was like a governorship election...some bigwigs often troop in from delta state to manipulate elections for their stooges...apparently because of the bursary cash that can be embezzled from such post.......

edi287:
This is beyond surprising if true. Looks like Pinnick has truly lost control of NFF or NFF are trying to save face.

pinnick will likely equals Galadima as the worst NFF/NFA boss Nigeria has had since recent times....

he is clueless, and to think that he is even an alumni from my school and same department i finished from in university of benin makes it more sickening......

he barely takes reasonable decisions, sticking with failed coaches....

the government of Jonathan has made me to believe that most south south folks are not responsible with governance......and this pinnick is proving it right....

Joebie:
Tammy is a player I dropped from my SE hopeful series I used to write on here, this was after he made the statement that we should wait until next year before he will decide his allegiance. That shows where I really stand. But Nerdie is only making a case over a smiley I deleted. So what’s the ruse?
You cant get what you want by going that path.

let's leave the discuss. it is getting hit up already....I am a Chelsea fan, seeing Tammy play for Chelsea hurts but I have accepted it and moved on....

bringing up his discuss here everyday will only make folks like komekn to continue to have their heyday

TheSuperNerd:
Don't mind the bloody pretending Joe... He is now coming out of his chameleonic shell. A fake Super Eagles enthusiast... Now he has stated his mission. Lol... Want to derail the thread with of an England international hoping the rules will change one day to enable him become a prospect again for the GWG... Loooolll

the bolded made me laugh so hard...
was he really hoping for the rules to Change
