Very true. I've watched that video before. They just like accusing men of cheating,they do it more..

And the funny part is, they don't know how to cheat. A man can have 2 mistress outside marriage and still love his wife and drop money for upkeep at home. He can handle 3 women at once for years but knows where his heart belongs.. Its a brain task.

But if a woman likes another man, all her affections goes to that man and she starts becoming rude to her husband or first guy.. In fact its dat rudeness you'll use to know something is going on till she's caught..they can barely handle 2 men smoothly. They use emotions to reason instead of brain/mental sense. Yet want equality with men. How funny

this is what i am currently going through right now.
i am emotional down

Stop being judgemental. That he didn't feature him didn't mean the coach is corrupt. That boy is very young (15 years or so) & doesn't looked like someone with the physical trait to play in this afcon.The coach watched them all in training. What did Habib achieved in the 2013 set despite all the hype about him? Our opponents are not small boys o! The team just need little finetuning, back up the full backs, bring in attacking players with finnesse & ability to technically hit the ball at goal. Most of these boys just use raw power to balloon the ball at goal.Especially that No.7 & Ubani's constant waste of freekicks. Always jumping up to hit the ball at goal. Poor technique.

so the guy is too frail to get 10 mins in this tournament?
c'mon who does no know that some Nigeria coaches make money from players signings

forgiveness:
The coach didn't deem it fit to cap Akande. Very predictable coach.

He doesn't want anyone to see his flaws peradventure the lad performs.

Our coaches are the main causes of our regression in football.

We could have gone far to produce world talent that could win us the world cup.

smiles .... Nigeria coaches are corrupt.
forget it pls

Mrkumareze:
That's true sha ... My ex almost did same, we had affair 3 days to her marriage only for her to inform thereafter that she took in n i was responsible.. but she gladly aborted without her man knowing... so it's good to play wise b4 n after marriage so u don't fall for such..

an affair with you....3 days before her wedding?
that lady is heartless....she can cheat even in marriage.

that kind of women made this research true

tbaba1234:
Aigbogun is leaving Nigeria with the bulk of the team that played in AFCON. The foreign based will join them in Germany.

That is ridiculous, he could not find new and better players all these months

That team is a write-off.

c'mon you never can tell if the coach is under a secret deal to help market those players.....
Nigeria coaches are fraud....
we all are watching the super eagles because a white man is in charge... give it to a Nigeria and watch him mess things up.

even if he is placed on a salary of N10M monthly they will still expect some cuts from players signings and also collect bribe from agents to help field their players......

corruption is just too match

forgiveness:
I just read this and I think I should share it here.

Are the informations here alll true?


Nigeria: Can Eagles Win With Igbo Goalie?


OPINION

By Emeka Obasi
This is a purely academic exercise which will come with attacks from different angles. Let it stir national controversy. Thank heavens I am Igbo. I understand Eagles first choice keeper, Francis Uzoho, shares same local government of origin with me.

I am also glad that this is football, not politics. Those who will rise against me may not all be Igbo. Even some Fulani herdsmen or Boko Haram fighters could dislike me for this. That is the good thing about soccer. All Nigerians speak one language.

I did a lot of research and discovered that all three times the Eagles won the Nations Cup, those who manned the post were not Igbo. In 1980, Best Ogedegbe, an Itsekiri raised in Ibadan, was our number one.

At Tunisia '94, Peter Rufai, an Idimu Prince from Lagos, bred in Port Harcourt was in goal. In 2013, it was Vincent Enyeama, the Ibibio man, who earned fame in Aba.

Now, this is not taking anything away from the great Igbo people. They have given Nigeria the best in football. And they remain the best. The records are there, from the colonial period till date.

The first Nigerian professional footballer, Titus Okere [Swindon Town, 1952] hailed from Imo State. The first Nigerian to coach the senior national team, Dan Anyiam [1954] also hailed from there. The first Nigerian to play in the World Cup, Paul McGrath, is an Igbo man.

Stephen Keshi [Delta] is the only compatriot to have won the Africa Nations cup as player and coach. He is the only Nigerian to have qualified another country[Togo] for the World cup. And with Emmanuel Amuneke [Tanzania] stand out as Nigerians who have led other nations to the Africa Nations cup.



Christian Chukwu [Enugu State], is the only Nigerian who won the Nations cup as captain[1980], and also won a continental trophy as skipper [Africa Winners Cup 1977]. He was the first of our countrymen to be voted Most Valuable Player [MVP] of the Nations Cup.

On top of the Nigerian soccer ladder, is Nwankwo Kanu [Abia State]. Many think he is from Imo, where he was born and bred. Papilo is the lone Nigerian to be named African Footballer of the Year twice.

He is the only Nigerian to have won the World Club Champions cup, the European Champions' League, English FA cup and to crown it all, the first African captain to win Olympic Soccer gold medal [Atlanta'96].

The Igbo have indeed, produced great national goalkeepers. The country's best during the colonial days was Francis 'Magnet ' Ibiam. He was in goal for the UK Tourists in 1949.

The Great Emmanuel Anthony Oguejiofor Okala is my hero. He was voted African Footballer of the year 1978, the first Nigerian to be so recognized. His younger brother, Patrick Chuka, also became Nigeria's number one.

Okala did what no other player from our climes may be able to do. On September 3, 1977, he was in goal for Enugu Rangers against AS Police of Senegal, in an Africa Winners Cup quarter finals game. It ended goalless.

Twenty four hours later, Sunday, September 4, Okala captained the Green Eagles to ECOWAS Games soccer gold with a 2-1 defeat of Ghana. Two international games for club and country, within 24 hours.

And that is where it ends. The surprise is that Okala did not win the Africa Nations cup as number one. Ogedegbe took over in 1980, while the former served as reserve when Nigeria won the Nations Cup in Lagos.

It was strange that even when coach Otto Gloria wanted to introduce the African Giant in the grand finale, with Eagle leading Algeria 3-0, an official of the NFA refused. The Brazilian coach walked away in anger.

However, Okala and Ogedegbe were the best of friends. As second choice, the taller keeper offered very useful tips to his colleague who was never seen as a rival. While fans read ethnic meanings into it all, Okala's room mate was Segun Odegbami.

Patrick Okala got the opportunity which eluded his elder brother. At the Cote D'Ivoire '84 Nations Cup, he kept goal for Nigeria in a grand finale. Captained by young Keshi, Eagles got the opener through Muda Lawal. Cameroon woke up from slumber to win 3-1.

Emma Okala won All Africa Games soccer gold in 1973. Curiously, he neither finished the opening nor the final game. In the first match against the Black Stars, the goalie was injured in the 75th minute and replaced by Eyo Essien.

It got worse in the grand finale against Guinea. Twelve minutes into the match, there was a collision with an opposing defender. Okala could not continue. Again, Essien was introduced, and the Eagles won a first African title.



The Eagles had Okala in goal all through their gold medal defence at the Algiers '78 Games. He played all 90 minutes in the final. Hosts, Algeria, dethroned the champions with a lone goal victory.

Aloy Agu [Imo], became number one in a funny fashion. Clemens Westerhof dropped Rufai at the airport on the way to Cameroon in 1989. David Ngodigha took over, but was injured. Substitute, Agu, was not prepared at all. He borrowed boots and jersey, but did well even with the Eagles crashing out.

Agu was in goal at the Algiers '90 Nations Cup. He captained the team to the final. Algeria won 1-0 to lift the cup for the first time. Rufai returned and Nigeria won the trophy at Tunisia '94.

The Eagles are almost set for the Egypt'2019 Nations Cup. Certainly Uzoho will be in goal. If he does not, there is Ikechukwu Ezenwa. Both are Igbo. Can they break the jinx?

In 56 years, since Nigeria debuted at the Africa Nations Cup, the Eagles have won the cup thrice. On two occasions, they were captained by Igbo players: Chukwu in 1980, and Keshi in 1994. In all three cup victories, the keepers were not Igbo: Ogedegbe, 1980. Rufai, 1994. Enyeama, 2013.

Let us breath, pray and hope. Nigeria broke the almost four-decade CAF Champions League jinx, through Enyimba. That sounds Igbo.

this journalist have no sense...at all.
what is this poo....?

what concerns tribe wit well preparation and talents?

I am tired of some these people I share country with....
just imagine how a man reason in the 21st century....

forgiveness I blame you for sharing this posts. ....

Earthquake3:
That's what's he's paid for
Maybe you're the one with skewed thinking

you gave him the job and you typed his employment letter right?
your thinking is just so narrow and parochial.....
anyway let's end the discussion

Earthquake3:
You can't say you discovered a player who is playing on tv

Pick him from the street play him on tv, that's what discovery is

That is what Manu Garba is doing and Paul Aigbogun is not doing

your way of thinking ehhh

Lol..... so because those guys have an organised league nah.... Aigbogun should leave them and start go from streets to streets in Nigeria because he wanna discover talents. .....

thank God Aigbogun is on track....let me leave you ohh

Earthquake3:
Manu Garba has discovered quite a lot of talent that lived beyond the U17s



Discovered by who?



Once you're discovered you can be 'undiscovered

I can't really argue with you....
it is heading nowhere. ...

where Ubani,Nancho and co not in academics. ...prior they played in the under 17 competition?

those guys in Europe are they not in academies too?
think now. ... abeg think. ...the fact that you knew of them does it mean they've already played for Nigeria?

some discovered them to be good enough and gave them a call up is that not talent scouting?

please let's leave this discussion

Earthquake3:
If you say inviting playing in academies is akin to discovery then we have discovered quite a lot of players in this thread

Gozzy Iweru
Noah Okafor
Deji Beyrethuer

I have even discovered Bonke Innocent at Malmo

so you think we have been playing here?
c'mon I said some of us here are doing great jobs than some of the lazy scouts employed by the NFF..


those players are getting their first national team berth because the coach discovered them and found them to be good enough for the national team....

let him give us a true under 20 players pls

Earthquake3:
Definitely we have some good gems in that field.

Ubani's workrate is monstrous and he has the ability to make a fine striker if he can put his head down to concentrate on hitting the target than shooting with his might. There is a reason why skills mostly prevail over power.

Amoo definitely impressed me with some of his dazzling runs but he needs to learn how to release the ball early and rely more on his off the ball runs to cause his opponents damage.

Tijani. Now that is a midfield maestro in the making and brought his A game against the physical Guineans. Needs to work on releasing the ball and running into position. He does not need to fight too much to excel.

Fawaz was also impressive. Technical and gracious on the ball. Needs to increase his work rate in opening for chances but that comes with the team playing in a more possessive fashion.

Olusegun was also bright, offered us options up front and showed confidence in looking for the goal. However, he needs to work hard to keep himself trim. Looks like a player who might add weight, which in turn will diminish his pace. With good diet and hard work, he can have a long career as a pacy player.

This is what discovery looks like



Can you name one player Paul Aigbogun discovered?

and those you listed never lives prior the under 17 cadet world cup. ...

the world is bigger than you think. ...

the challenge you're having is that you're thinking that because we already know of those listed under 20 players existence...they were not discovered.

you see bro.... there are various phase of discovery..

Paul Aigbogun just discovered those listed players for Nigeria...I never knew of some of them existence prior today.....so he discovered them

Earthquake3:
Go to your dictionary

says a young man who could not align the meaning he knew with the scenario that play out with the invitation of those foreign born players.

I never knew you were this intelligent

Earthquake3:
Seems like you don't know what discovery is

If Paul Aigbogun has done his job their would have been no needs to scamper around looking for FBs to paper over his incompetence

Manu Garba had Akande but he went ahead to scout and produce 5 young attacking players that gave him a run for his money, now we have 5 freshlings including Akande, that's what a good coach is

please define DISCOVERY

Earthquake3:
If you become a cadet coach and fill your squad with academy kids what makes you different from an armchair expert?

the results in the nearest future....will make me different.

you call this guys academy players but this academy are better managed and with facilities than your NPFL clubs.... so spare the unbalanced comparism

Earthquake3:
Seems like you don't know what discovery is

If Paul Aigbogun has done his job their would have been no needs to scamper around looking for FBs to paper over his incompetence

Manu Garba had Akande but he went ahead to scout and produce 5 young attacking players that gave him a run for his money, now we have 5 freshlings including Akande, that's what a good coach is

and the listed midfielders Aigbogun listed are not Nigerians?
same way he would have scamper the streets look for players he choosed to do his abroad. ...so what's the fuss?

and pls don't mention Manu Garba.... and who told you those guys being played are all better than Adrian?
there is a huge possibility nigeria cadet team coaches wanna market players.....reason why they bench these foreign born.

Earthquake3:
The kids can play for the SE nobody is stopping them

But the aim of Cadet coaches is to discover and develop young talents for the first team, Paul Aigbogun has neither discovered nor developed any player, the only thing he did was to scoop those discovered and developed by other people

Many Garba has given us five new talent, Hw many has Paul Aigbogun given!

Who made this beer parlour laws?

if a man discover a young Nigeria player abroad...and have him play for nigeria...is that not talent discovery?

just read what you wrote.... so you will ignore this lads when they re teenagers only to go for them and start drag them with their birth countries when they eventually become pros.... does that make sense?

even Germany with talent abound don't do that. ..
with the space of time...Germany still invite players wit dual nationality with England and Base in the latter country for their cadet teams.... e.g the Nemcha brothers and Bernets.

Earthquake3:
There's nothing like sentiments, the U20 coach is basically a scout, his job is not to scoop kids discovered by different people in academies

There are millions of kids playing around in different parts of Nigeria, if he cannot scout and harness those talents what is his job?

you made this law/clause.
never knew you had a copy of his employment letter.

please save me those words you put there....
the reason you are thinking this way is because you were not born outside the country or had the opportunity to reside abroad that will demand you live and raise your kids there.

you and those kids playing football all over nigeria streets are not more nigerian than this kids... they are nigerians just like you
and they've right to play for their country.

tribalism and sentiments is our problem in this country

Earthquake3:
That means Paul Aigbogun did not discover much talent from Nigeria

I hope this is his last SE job

was he employed to discover talents for you in nigeria or scout for talents? is he a scout or a coach....
those players invited are they not nigerians? i just don't understand this sentiments.
foreign born or local groomed....are they not all nigerians?
this players listed...were they not discovered..or it is because they are foreign born players?
for God's sake this kids are nigerians...
you guys are the ones trying to encourage the lazy coach to keep fielding over aged players all
in the guise of discovering talents....
please let him do his job...it seems he has woke up from sleep.

#nigeria will hardly make progress because of sentiments

Bizibi:
The day Lagos government cough out about building a subway,ehhh lagosians should be ready to hear 5 billion dollars.

and Lagos state political Godfather will corner $1B of the proposed sum.it is a must otherwise the governor will not return for 2nd term. Nigeria and Corruption are twins

KendrickAyomide:
nice, am not sure there is a subway in the whole Subsaharan Africa. oh there is one Subway in benin where boys normally smoke Weed

at least we have a subway.....

BascoVanVeli:
That's a serious accusation you are laying on Manu.

Abeg u fit drop the highlight

there is no serious accusation here...
we should stop tolerating corruption in this country. ...

it is so obvious...I think there lies no need to call for this young lad inclusion henceforth in our cadet teams.... because what's the essence of calling them raking them all from Europe only to come sit on the bench....
it happens with Lateef and it is happening now...don't be surprised if this young man (Adrian) voice out tomorrow....

tbaba1234:
Manu showed his hand when he took us to the under 20 WC and left his best players on the bench, playing those whose club status were uncertain.

I so much respect you....even though I have never see you in person.
you just said the bitter truth. .....
These coaches gets cuts from players signings reason why they don't mind put their career future at risk just because of kick backs.
so painful...you can't find an honest man in nigeria football

tbaba1234:
The under 20 team will be full of foreign born boys.

Sir...in all honesty many of us here know the truth that you can hardly i repeat hardly
find any under 20 player in the NPFL. we should stop deceiving ourselves in this country
that league is littered with players above 20 years old.
it saddens me when i see the cadet team coaches recruit players for the under 20 from the league
not even from their reserve team.......

this foreign born players right from tender age have been schooled in rudiments of the game and they
truly carry their passport age....
since they are nigerians and they are good... i see nothing wrong to go for them and include some
home groomed academy players to make a formidable team... we may not always win the under 20 world cup
but trust me... we will be doing the super eagles a great service in the future

Starboytwo:
won't that be a big problem later,you know Nigerians love everything foreign, would the "local boys" stand any chance?....

it will not be any problem.... they are nigerians.
foreign born or non foreign born
as long as they fall within the right age and they are talented.

lets stop this sentiment abeg

forgiveness:
The bolded is the pure undiluted truth. Garba was blasted by one of the NFF officials for taking some players to the tournament.

Let us see if Garba will give those foreign lad the chance to prove themselves in the last game.

Bro... and sometimes this things does not show or get noticed quickly reason because talents abound and many a time talents have these coaches covered. a very sound coach can pick players/scout players from only the Southwest region in nigeria and still win the under 17 nations cup with them.... excluding the other 5 geopolitical zones. reason because nigerians have talents abound.... so this coaches can easily picked players they were bribed to include and no one will notice them some can even take bribe to field the team best players.... let me tell you... who could have thought that Salisu Yusuf would take bribe to play Gambo and Stanley Okoro in the last CHAN... without mincing words these guys were sure starters if we all are to make our fantasy first 11 from the players took for that tourney but the greed in these coaches will not rest.
even to include messi in this team they will take bribe. so pathetic

forgiveness:
Since, their focus is to make money for their own pocket, how can they be serious to get talented players?

You saw how Garba kept Fawaz and Stephen on the bench for those players are not better than them.

How are we sure the third goalkeeper and Adrian are not better than those on the pitch?


They know but they are too greedy for personal gains.

Imagine, Noah Okafor is scoring goals and given assists for a club like Basel but yet they have feigned ignorance.

Na wa ooo.

I also heard Tariq is good.

I tire brother....
if I was the under 20 coaches... God sees my heart...
I will infuse the team with players I know deeply are truly less 20..... the likes of these foreign born players will litters my team and some genuine under 20 local groomed players...I don't care what people think. ...
it pains me we gonna loose this guys because our officials are bribe centered... it is so pathetic

tbaba1234:
Unfortunately at cadet level, it is all about selling players so they are usually more interested in local talent that can be sold so they get a cut.

it is so unfortunate....I can't vividly remember the last time you were in nigeria..but what I want to tell you is that Nigeria is gradually going down...corruption is increasing everyday....
honest folks are now endangered...even the police and the security agencies now openly collects bribes...coupled with extra judicial killings everywhere.
with the way things are going everyone opportune to serve steal as much as they can.... the future generation may even have nothing to steal wit the way things are going. The anti-corruption body claim to recover bilious they can barely account for.

it is so pathetic.... mind you our cadet team coaches will rarely play those under 17 foreign born players reason because they wanna market the local groomed.... with that they can fetch some cool cash from their signings...I used to think it was because they were not paid...but my thoughts betrayed me after Sanusi who was placed on a 5M monthly salary and other benefits took bribe....

greed is in the hearts of many Nigerians

cc: forgiveness

forgiveness:
Why is NFF slow about it? The same way they lost Akanji and the same guy is now in Dortmund team.

I don't think we have competent scouts working for NFF.

This is saddening.

Even the Mujaid Sadick suppose to be contacted to play for the U-20 team.

Na wa oooo.

some of us here are more knowledgeable on nigeria diaspora players than this cadet team coaches and some of the pot belly scouts hired.

I just read we can get Chelsea Tariq Uwakwe if we are really serious..dude is a midfield mystero

This very Earthquake guy has always been a nuisance to this thread. It seems his only purpose here is to test our collective patience.

From posting about Hollywood actresses to consistently bringing unrelated football news to showing us his "beautiful" graphic designs to shamelessly begging forumites for money, now this......very soon he may be posting his nude pictures here if care is not taken.

I believe Nairaland has threads and groups dedicated to gossip and personal life/ relationship gist, but this human being (if we can call him one) will always bring his nonsense to the only thread on Nairaland dedicated to the Super Eagles.

Is this guy sane at all?
