Gerrard59:
Apart from the Nigerian and AU passports, what are the two passports?

I don't know but he mentioned he has 4 passports it was this MO Ibrahim show he said it.

I think he is not really bothered if he was he should obtain maybe an American or Portuguese citizenship to ease his movement across africa

Gerrard59:
Mention THREE black-dominated countries colonised by the French that are richer than Nigeria.

P.S. France is a terrible coloniser. At least, the British bequeathed us with the English Law system and the language, which is the world's business language. How many Nigerians learn French compared to Francophone Africans who learn English so they can access economic opportunities outside France? As for Belgium and the Netherlands, those are baby French.

The British for its all woes were the best colonisers across the world. The results speak for itself.

Don't mind them so many people here don't know how France keep milking her former colonies and undermining them politically
Take a look at so many political undeveloped countries in Africa or with dictators as leaders that keep rigging elections and coup plotters they're all French colonies. Fr ance don't care as long as they have a president in this countries that keep promoting their economic interest even if he rules for years.

The English language bequeathed to us by the British is the best gains from colonialism. So many European countries now offer courses in English but check how many English schools offer courses in French

Only 10% of world knowledge on sciences, engineering etc are made available in French majorly in English

I attend meetings with foreigners and they always marvel how I speak English so well.. they feel intimidated most times I mean Europeans

Gerrard59:
African institutions are incompetent! Terribly incompetent! So, we cannot even manage AU passport holders entries?

I tell you
AU is the weakest regional body I know. I watch him say this that day I just weak

Meliforme:
Imagine what a weapon this lad could have been, if Peseiro had him at the AFCON.

Let's just face the reality.

And he could not help his club aviod relegation?

The way you guys worship and hype mediocrity on this platform baffles me

How come he is wasting away in relegation bound clubs in leagues like Portugal.

You guys really to up your appraisal system.

CrossRhodes:
There was a war, Napoleon invaded and annexed

Is that colonization? Kaiii

What's that if not colonialism
U have no idea of how Portugal and co conquered their colonialised countries

Even at some time the north africa arabs conquered Europe and took over 500k Europeans as slaves...

Colonialism came sometimes through conquests

jiz:
Other countries no rate that green passport.....

He has over 4 passports including AU Passport. But he said even wit the AU Passport he is still asked to apply for visa prior entering into this countries like it happened in Angola when the president requested to see him

CrossRhodes:
Lol

They were colonized by Belgium not France

If u know so well France technically colonised Belgium. They even speak French more

Babangidapikin:
Africa doing themselves can't we have an African Union Passport.

There is an AU Passport and Dangote has one

He said even with AU Passport he was still asked to get Visa prior entering Angola. That AU Passport is like a mere formality

Here is a perfect example of why we should not blame these kids when they choose England, Germany, Holland, or Spain over Nigeria. 🇳🇬🇩🇪🇳🇱🇪🇸

I remember trying to get Lookman Ademola to play for Nigeria, but to no avail, so I wrote to my friend who is the director of grassroots football and education at the FA, who then arranged my visit to see the England U21’s or U20’s. So I went with an old Naija Jersey [Adidas] for all the players to sign. We had some Naija boys on the squad, i.e., Lookman, Tomori, Abraham, and Ojo, to name a few.

Luckily for me, I bumped into Lookman, who was going for an interview, so I stopped, whispered into his ears; You will play for Nigeria. 🇳🇬✌️

His facial expression conveyed his displeasure with my statement. Despite his initial reluctance, I managed to convince him to take a picture with me as proof. Those familiar with Lookman understand his reserved demeanor, akin to the Olise personality type.

The reason I chose this particular scenario is as follows:

- Lookman believed he had an opportunity to play for the England senior team and was hesitant to commit to Nigeria due to his success at the time.

- Aina's situation was more straightforward. He promptly acknowledged that the England route was unlikely, making my approach with him uncomplicated. His father's trust in the process, along with the influence of his close friend Iwobi, facilitated a successful resolution.

In conclusion, I kindly request that we refrain from criticizing Nigerian descendants who initially decline to play for Nigeria. If you were presented with the chance to represent England, Germany, or the Netherlands, would you unequivocally choose Nigeria, even for your child?

Presently, I am pleased that both players are part of our team. Although there are challenges within the NFF, the platform has provided benefits. The significance of the Nigerian factor cannot be overlooked.

For us,we will continue to push behind the scene, what matters to us is a better Nigerian football development for nigerians home & Diaspora

Napoleon55:
We need to be serious with our age grade teams and programs instead of continually wishing for players who are not interested of playing for us not until they are rejected by their country of birth .

No matter how bad things are in Nigeria, we are capable of producing talents good enough who would more passionate to represent us and win us trophies.
Our home made artistes and athletes achievements is good testament to this.

Not with someone like Ladan Bosso as coach of under 20.

You need an honest and transparent coach to harness talents at the under 17&20 level

Longneck:
This guy fūck up when he decide to represent Germany

E never late

If he still play for us

We need get this guy, Olise and that okoli plus that micheal folurunsho if spellati nor call am

With this guys add to the super eagles we are good to go.....

Truidstarr:
Finish will do very well as SE coach. He was humble enough to admit that he is limited and hired foreign assistants to help him out. He went about getting the job with humility. He will go far. Amokachi will be more of a motivational speaker than coach.
If na Amuneke e for no hire any foreign assistant e be like person wey no like share glory with anybody.

Amunike na average coach ridden with pride.

If i am NFF president he won't even smell the eagles job except he perform with an NPFL team

Oasis007:
....then he is still eligible to play for Eagles, but most important thing is; we shouldn't beg anyone to play for Super Eagles again.

Abeg we need am

We can use him as magic sub with his pace he can outrun weak and tired defense

Finidi should reach out to him. He is the son of the soil

mostob:
Ok..I want you to think deeply. How does it sound to your ears when you hear people comparing two teams based on their salary range? Like who compare two players using their individual wages? Does that make sense?

Komekn nor know anything about football

Using wage to tell the potentials of a player shows how daft he is

There are players earning less but play better or with better potentials than those earning pounds in championship and epl

Marjoribanks:
My good brother! Me self shock for myself! Seeing Kevin Akpoguma's name made me lose my critical thinking! lol!

Lookman have to be there
The list is fake
I wish it was real just add lookman remove Aribo for that Turkey based midfielder

Marjoribanks:
Isaac Success looks so fit and balling!
I believe Boniface needs to shed some weight.

He is looking too big and unfit!

That guy indiscipline cost him
He has all it takes to be play in the highest level

Amedino99:
you don't get my point. I mean the list is unrealistic because there is no Npfl player there.

Oh I get you

Amedino99:
no Npfl player? Smells like a lie.

What do we need them for

U guys want to market them for eastern European clubs?
The likes of Eze and co just give them few minutes afterwards they move to obscure leagues in Europe and we continue another round of invitee for fresh legs

The NPFL players have Chan tournament coming if they play well they'll qualify and get to prove themselves

Franktom247:
Joe aribo again

That high scoring midfielder in Turkey should replace him asap

Aribo play rubbish for the super eagles

Marjoribanks:
I believe this list cos of Kelvin Akpoguma. When I saw that one of the new assistant coach is from Hoffenhiem, I knew immediately that Kelvin will be part of the list! I trust this list absolutely!
My worry is the defense. Too many new faces!
Olisa Ndah is on the list too!

Bro you're funny
So u believe a list without Lookman?

Whatever issues he have with Lookman he should go settle it that guy is the poster boy of the super eagles

opes:
Nff proposed pay per match bonus. He wont accept that

Imagine what's wrong with the NFF

comodo:
They want to force Amokachi down his throat. I'd rather he have quicksilver than that sexy penetrative passes man.

Me too I don't want Amokachi or Amunike around him

Nsein seems to be good better

Blueelf:
So people are beginning to see how overrated osimhen is o the point where Chelsea fans are saying they don't want him again and would rather stick with Jackson

Time truly reveals all

Even Moffi is better than Jackson I don't blame them
They should stick with Jackson

chiboycue:
If I were Philip Shaibu, I would have been loyal to Obaseki to the end in order to completed my tenure as deputy governor of Edo State and then vie for the senator of my constituency subsequently

Dude can never unseat oshomhole

He can't win his local government sef

He doesn't have a political weight

softtorce:
But he was not selfish when against all odds he supported Obaseki second term bid ba ?!

You're not from Edo State and u are not based there

We have never had tribal fight in edo state and it is the only heterogeneous state where only one or two ethnic group don't colonize power. We rotate it

So shuabu can cry a river we've moved on

SoNature:
It seems there's an unwritten rule among governors not to let their deputies become governors. Philip Shaibu was loyal to Godwin Obaseki and even followed him to the PDP when he clashed with Adams Oshiomhole.

You guys are so ignorant and don't know anything about edo politics

We have 3 senatorial zones in edo state with over 7 tribes. We have never had tribal fight and we always rotate the governorship seat amongst the 3 senatorial zone

So u expect us to allow shuabu to be governor? When edo central have not produced a Governor since 1999?

How daft are you?

Seunpapa65:
In our culture it's believed that woman wey the play away match and use the same hands to Cook for the man can lead to death of the man

Same with ours. I do tell any lady that I am in relationship this. That I can forgive anything but not cheating. The day you cheat that's the end and DNA test is mandatory for all my kids at my birth

My current babe is okay with this and I am good to go. I hate weak men with passion

mostob:
Let's ignore the motive behind your post.

Pep is one of the coaches who was so obessed with this false 9 tactic. He was so invested in it that he benched Aguero (a prolific scorer) for Gabriel Jesus. Months back, he went ahead and signed Haaland. Arsenal and Arteta were towing this path until realisation dawned that there is still a place for the traditional 9 in modern day football. Fortunately, Havertz saved our blushes. Signing Nunez should tell you Liverpool might be moving away from the false 9 era. Osimhen is one of the hottest striker currently and he will be a perfect fit for them.

Klopp was just forced to twerk and manage with Nunnez profligacy in front of goal that's why it look like he is moving away from the traditional 9 era

Initially he try utilise the potentials of both mane and Sallah with selfless Ferminiho playing as 9 it was more easier for him.

Liverpool will jump at the opportunity to have a sharp 9. Owen, Torres, Suarez were top 9 that played for Liverpool

komekn:
Not sure about this.

First of all Liverpool have never played with a quintessential number 9. They don't have a pyramid structure and have not for a long time. The number 9 is almost an appendage a kind of AM.

Firmino was the perfect example, the majority of goals 🥅 came from the inverted winger's or rather forward players coming from the wings. For example past and present, Mane, Salah, Diaz, Jota , Nunez, etc

Nunez has been struggling he is more of a number 9 but has found himself as an inverted forward coming from the wings.

VO has many attributes but being technically astute and playing on the wings is not one of them, IMO.

In addition there are two new Directors not Klopp guys Edward one of them comes from the mindset of not playing with a quintessential number 9. The other Director Hughes will follow the lead of Edwards.

In addition the new Dutch coach as is rumoured, Slot is not going to do dramatic changes in my opinion. I personally don't think he is a good fit for Liverpool and this could be there own Achilles heal.

Consider all the quintessential number 9 bought by Liverpool apart from Torres none have been able to have an impact. Players like Benteke, Carroll,
Balotelli, Nunez, etc

Having all this in mind l don't think going to Liverpool is a great fit for VO.

So when Suarez and Torres played there they didn't play as 9

Oga just go forward state your biased and lopsided statement on why you don't want him there.

Don't act as if you know football tactics and the club playing pattern. Most especially with a new coach on board

Do u know how Feyernood plays ?

Dessers was their striker last season they played conference final with this man as coach

He some times play point man

mostob:
And he is a 'baldie' like Pep so Thegoodjoe will definitely like him

Finidi has bald head too
Oh could it be because his own is not natural

jospepper:
Politicians are wicked!

You had 8 whole years yet you didn't increase minimum wage

only to turn around and increase it at the twilight of your tenure!

This is a setup!

See as you dull.

Obaseki has been the highest minimum wage for years now 40k and even 13th month
