JohnBullMySon:
She's not thick but she's tall. If she's lightweight then Alozie and Onyinyechi are feather weight .

Even Okobi and Kanu are light as well as some others. There's one that was invited newly from Watford. She's probably the smallest person in that team.

JohnBullMySon:
She does. Seriously, she's better than many of our current defenders. I even heard she turned down England to play for us.

codemaniacs:

they ( some people on this thread ) want the national team to be at least 90% - 96% foreign born players..

players like iheanacho, osimhen, chukwueze, oshoala started from Nigeria with poor training facilities.. while players like dessers, aina, okoye started with at least above basic training facilities so naturally they are also good to be selected...

if you add "no matter your place of birth" to the issue, Nigeria can pick 30 players who are foreign born and that will totally freeze out players like iheanacho, osimhen, chukwueze, oshoala..

I am saying Nigerians born ( and trained ) in Nigeria but playing abroad should be given a quota of at least 50% because the amount of foreign born players Nigeria has can permanently sideline the foreign based players..

andrew444:
Bia nwanne you better be careful there

andrew444:
Dont mind kazier chief jare

I rooted for them because of akpeyi

JohnBullMySon:
Another one.

If we were doing well, some of these guys won't even think twice before committing to us.

andrew444:
ahly to win this one

The kazier chief guy that collected red is a very useless player

you live in a wonderland...

I just hope one day when you get a government position that involves managing people of different ethnicities you don't start acting like your c:urrent p:resident...

codemaniacs:
Please let's end it here...

to have patriotism you need to have sentiments and most sentiments are tribal..

South Africa is developed but its the "whyte side" that was developed first, will you call that patriotism

U:S is developed but AA's couldn't use the same bus with whyte people ( even in South Africa ), the thriving business district that AA's created for themselves was burnt to the ground by whyte people.. will you call that patriotism
U:S is developed but it was a crime to be black and educated, will you call that patriotism

please this is a sports thread. let it end here.

codemaniacs:
lack of sentiments is why a govt official will take money meant to develop a local govt in his/her home state outside Nigeria or even outside his/her home state and put it somewhere else and when his people complains he/she blames the FG...

tribal sentiments and religious sentiments must never be in the same sentence.. they are two different things entirely...

so you're saying states like Bayelsa, Akwa-ibom e.t.c.. should employ only Yorubas and Igbos because they get the best scores yearly both in waec , jamb and university courses.

when was the last time someone who wasn't Yoruba or Igbo got the overall best result in Jamb, waec, university courses... To you does it mean that people who are not Yoruba or Igbo are dull


If we go by merit based on results in Nigeria, Yorubas and Igbos will clear out most of the opportunities in Nigeria...

codemaniacs:
you have no idea what racism is... let me quote American Gangster, Racism is when people of a different race come to a another person's house who is of a different race and maltreats or even kills the person...

I hope you understand that whyte people have to protect their interests especially in their own countries ( not the U.S because the U.S is a country with both Africans Americans and Europeans living there for hundreds of years ) just that most of them don't know how to be racist without been condescending, violent, abusive and derogatory towards another race.

if you're so concerned about racism then you should be more concerned about N:igeria's current pr:esident than me...

codemaniacs:
Please this is sports thread, if I have to explain this issue the entire thread will be derailed...

I dislike when people from outside a region/place are feeling entitled to 100% of all the opportunities in that region that they don't belong to just because they look down on the credentials of the original owners and leaving the original owners with 0% or "3%" and the only way to fix it is to create a quota, a quota where the original owners always have at least 55%...

please lets stop here...

the U:S is a different ball game entirely...
O:bama is not African American by ethnicity but he became the first b:lack president..
H:arris is not African American by ethnicity but he became the first b:lack vice president..
A lot of opportunities that should go to African Americans go to people that are considered "black and brown" people...

when African Americans complain people like you call them lazy meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of African Americans graduating from university yearly but other "black and brown" some of whom have better results than AA's get the jobs...

Again, please let's stop here,
I won't respond to any comment regarding tribalism as you guys don't seem to understand the difference between blocking/ side-lining COMPETENT indigenes from opportunities and sharing their opportunities with them by ensuring they ( COMPETENT INDIGENES ) get 55% quota..

codemaniacs:
sentiments is why the developed countries are developed...

codemaniacs:
If the SW was an independent country do you think Alaba, saka, akanji won't have been called up

forgiveness:
He is right. No reason West Ham will want him.

codemaniacs:
you have to be trained to be competent, most footballers and athletes attend at least a football academy or sports academy before they can be considered for a professional career.. so most professional athletes you see today have the competency ( necessary sports education both theory and practical ) but the talent may not be there.

you can't compare players that play for Manchester United and players that play for bristol rovers fc.

the A:laba situation is a different issue entirely, can also be attributed to toxic tribalism against the SW... its the one of the same reasons Nigeria didn't tie down Saka, Akanji , adebayor e.t.c..

edi287:
Exactly bro. People keep pushing this quota thing because they don't want to do the hard work of fixing our football from bottom up.
They'll tell you getting foreign born is the easy way out and act like reserving slots for home based players will improve how our clubs are ran, our coaches, poor facilities, etc.

forgiveness:
Why are you copping me?

There’s no doubt that Taiwo is improving every season.

edi287:
It's not rocket science. Some people just want to jump before they crawl.
Develop the league and our football structure in general. No reasonable person should support this "quota" nonsense! All it does is breed mediocrity.

codemaniacs:
this your comment does not also follow because host communities also have their own designated job slots, scholarship , give-aways e.t.c. that people living outside the host communities are not aware of...

my comment stands...

codemaniacs:
Picking competent foreign based players is not mediocrity.

Nigeria currently has competent Nigerians in Nigeria and outside Nigeria in a lot of professional fields.

So you're saying we should let the ones in Nigeria become jobless and hire only Nigerians born outside Nigeria.

Would your parents have been able to send you to school if only Nigerians with foreign degrees were getting all the jobs

codemaniacs:
Iheanacho grew up in Nigeria and he has family in Nigeria. His businesses will be in Nigeria unlike Okoye so yes iheanacho is more Nigerian than Okoye. Unless Okoye is living in a Nigerian community in Germany.

codemaniacs:
They should be given a smaller quota.

komekn:
What has Awoniyi done on loan that has been outstanding.

There is a reason he is not attracting much attention. Why would West Ham by a player who has been unable to show outstanding quality.

Danielnino00:
I thought you had all the knowledge with regard to things like this...Abi na another wash??


Here's some education for you https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/57161133

codemaniacs:
like I told JohnBullMySon...

protecting the quota of foreign based players and Nigerian based players ( players in U17 and U19 and Academy players not NPFL players because the age of NPFL players is questionable ).

BascoVanVeli:
We may have missed out on Nneka Ogwumike. FIBA said she has played too much for USA although they themselves are ok with the whole situation and the new rules also allow it. Now the case is going to CAS so let's see. It would be nice for her to join her 2 sisters.

We are talking about the player's union president for the WNBA. Also just featured in LeBron James remake of Space Jam. She is a big Superstar in female basketball. If she is allowed to play we definitely are going to fight for some kind of medal at the Olympics

isan:
By doing that you are implying that iheanacho is more Nigerian than okoye when they should both get the same opportunity

codemaniacs:
There are more Nigerians in Nigeria than Nigerians outside Nigeria so it's about protecting the interests and opportunities of Nigerians born in Nigeria.

BascoVanVeli:
U and this whole thread know you are wrong but carry on with your lies
