Nice list. I'm really indifferent to Musa's inclusion.
What would it cost JPes to add Yusuf and maybe Kelechi to the squad. The midfield is thin.

ifewise:
Nah pesiro employ NFF and it obvious we don't have technical committee in NFF. Let even forget about the quality in player selection. We have 5 MF, we are starting at least 2 and if anyone get card or Injury what's our hope ? The same thing happened when Iwobi got red card against Tunisia last afcon. This country is just Useless,NFF,Pesiro, media are all m##.

Setaleonoz:
Leave am make e dey talk rubbish

Lumarstone:
Who told you? Remove the people of south south, south east and north central from your three state that made top four and know the actual number of Yorubas in there respective States.

dijon:
Only a very deficient coach would play Iwobi as a CM...it will never work. I will not start Aribo as a double DM either but will make use of him if am chasing the game later on. He is very efficient technically with good passing vision but will never start him in Afcon cos the opponent gidigbo and temperature will wear him out.

IDENNAA:
Is any of their parents Bini , otherwise I seriously doubt they speak fluently. This is coming from someone who is a bit familiar with the Bini language

You are a big thief. I will never pay you such amount if I was a billionaire and I will never advise anybody to pay you such. How much are you going to pay for hosting and maintaining a 4 simple page site?? I bet you are not as good as you think. Before you call me a noob, i am a web developer too and mind you, I didn't decided to be a software programmer to be chasing money but change the world through problem solving like Henry Ford and Bill Gate.

Once Nigerians become Tech savvy and literate, nobody will ever come to you again so that you will not cheat them.

LegendHero:
Tell us one undemocratc thing a governor of Lagos has done since 1999. We are waiting.

mostob:
The talk is not about Iwobi. I think you should go through the posts again.

Kog45:
Osimhen just need this Afcon to tell us he is better than Thompson Usiyen and Rashidi Yekini cuz I rated the duo highly.

Tessyy1701:
At the bolded some player failed to qualify us for world cup in Qatar, should we discard them?

I will take npfl star over Dennis Emmanuel... Oboabona was picked from the Npfl then likewise Mba... I can tell you the quality in the league now is better than then

Kog45:
Yakubu wey missed toddler goal.😁

Blueelf:
Is Victor Osimhen a one-season wonder?

mostob:
All join. We don't have pure AM again. In the past, players like Bruno, Odegaard, Mount, Benardo, KDB and even Iwobi would be classified as AMs but not anymore. So forget this AM talk.

Odunayaw:
Solanke?

Blueelf:
Yea, he will. He is a far better finisher that Osimhen

Tobichimezie:
Sarcasm or no sarcasm the truth has to be said. We just don't have elite players, just "decent enough" players to get us by every now and again. Don't expect too much from this AFCON with this team if I were you

jihday:
he has been very very good this season

Samueltemi337:
Ndidi has really improved
Maybe he is just the 10 we are looking for

villagereporter:
Something is fundamentally wrong with the triune running Nigeria’s football.

The coach, nff and sport ministry.

TheGoodJoe:
Whether his attitude is affecting Nwakali or not is not the point of discussion. It is how poor his personal behavior is and what is elyte89's take on his attitude.

Samueltemi337:
Chuba Akpom scored for Ajax yesterday

Tobichimezie:
How the bloody hell did Emmanuel Dennis out of nowhere get selected over Akpom,, Ejuke or Gift Orban? why must every Nigerian team selection be marred with controversy and drama?

villagereporter:
.


This Rivers united are apere United. They’ve lost all their away games. This make me ponder, are our present home based players as good as we promote them to be?

chrisooblog:
While we were the off 'air' it seems there was a civil war brewing on twitter between Nigerian sports journalists over the AFCON invitees leading to a serious home vs foreign based players debate

MetalJigsaw:
That Peseiro guy is such a dunce😂

4 g. keepers
Just 5 midfielders
And 8 attackers with 5 of them being strikers🤣🤣🤣

elyte89:
If I may ask ,what will u have done different if u re in nff ? I just want to hear …cos me sef no sabi

Marjoribanks:
This is actually close to my prediction!
Ahmed Musa experience is needed in the team especially in competition like this where our foreign born might struggle based on January-Feb weather situations in West Africa. Awoniyi absence gave room for Musa's inclusion. The other options are not in any way better than Musa.

My only objection is the 4 goalkeepers! Remove one goalkeeper for Nwakali and we are good to go!
