Amodu has no tactical plan. . . . who is on the phucking left wing?. . . . so far I only see fat Yakubu there. . . . BTW, you know you're country's phucked when ya relying on Eneramo. . . .

Look, just bring Obasi/Nsofor to the left wing, and move Yakubu into the centre. . . .

Hold on. . . . are both Yakubu and Enemaro starting. . . . who is going to supply movement in that frontline with those two potbellied fools?. . . . Amodu is a disgrace . . .

Seee the way the guys just ran past Yobo. . . . the old man couldn't keep up. . . .

Look at these idiots. . .

Mrs Babangida had once expressed glee at Gani Fawehimni's illness saying that God is dealing with her husbands enemies.

Mumu woman. Like sheep, she followed Babangida even to the point of demonising Gani.

Please live her alone, she is my aunt. Please don't be rude to people you don't know much about.
Should a woman be blamed for her husbands ambition.

If she is really your aunty, then please confirm for me that she is truly ill so I can pop champagne and open up this box of Cuban cigars in front of me.

Godfather buried alive!

I wonder when our own godfathers will be buried alive. Common $500,000 when im tief, dem give am 13 years. That means Bode George who stole $1bn would receive capital punishment in Yankee.

marutimon:
My first post and a few comments:

I think we can all agree that the timing of Adokiye was repulsive. This should have preferably been done before the tournament or in the worst case after. The timing leads me to believe that politics has also come into play.

However I have increasing certainty that Fortune Chukwudi and several other players (Kayode, Okoro) were taken on in spite of failing the MRI tests. Possibly because the coach thought it losing too many key players would destroy any chances the team has at the tournament. It is impossible for so many old guys to pass the loop without someone turning a blind eye.

I noticed also looking back in time a very weird peculiarity,  It seems that December is a very popular month for Nigerian youth footballers to be born in,  Other weird things: Look at the Wikipedia entries for Abdul Ajagun, Omoh Ojabu, Mohammed Aliyu,  according to those they are all 19-23 years old,

That said I must fill in on the MRI scan issue. Bringing them in was a great thing for the tournament. Apart from Nigeria it seems all other African teams screened their players very honestly and now presented a real u17 squad. And I can see them benefiting,  the u17 Gambia side may not have progressed, but actually played some great football and could have easily progressed in their group save for bad luck. Similarly the Malawians come with real schoolboys and they were quite impressive. I can also safely state that a lot of the Burkina Faso players will be searched after by scouts once this tournament is over (probably even more than in the case of the tainted Nigerian side). The 14-year old Bertrand Traoré will have great prospects in front of him and will be quickly optioned by a European team (apparently Manchester United have already taken him in to their youth squad). [/b]And these countries will benefit from real youths actually getting a chance to present themselves. And the lack of age cheating will really make the European clubs more open to a risk - they have one risk less to worry about, meaning no more need to worry if the players really are as young as they say they are,

MRI tests are 90% certain within a 6 month band and 99,9% within a 2 year band. Hence any player that passed the test is no older than 19 with a 100% certainty. So if a test is done honestly the oldest a player can be is 19.

POSITIVES because there are some in the whole situation:

1) [b]This is still the youngest u17 squad Nigeria has ever fielded. MRI scan or not just look at some of the players. I have no doubt that most of them are no older than 18-19. A lot of the players are still young enough to be great potential players and even if they are not 16-17 as they stated they are still teenagers (Okoro and Chukwudi apart) and have great development potential. Enough said that FIFA did random test 4 Nigerian players (can't wait to find out which ones - results will be presented after the tournament) and all of them passed - so lets not let the bad apples negate the impressive display of the younger players.

2) The random MRI test scans will force NFF to rethink what they are doing. I think Nigeria decided to test FIFA this time around (because they are hosts and FIFA doesn't like scandals), but the MRI tests will slowly phase out the cheats. They may get away with it this time around, but next time FIFA won't be so lenient.

3) Surprisingly the biggest stars of the tournament for Nigeria has been the supersub Sani Emmanuel and the goalkeeper Dani Paul. The latter looks like a teenager and I can state with 90% surety that his is a teenager. But even more importantly the surprise package that is Sani Emmanuel should console those furious at the Chukwudi scandal. As far as I'm concerned Sani IS AS OLD AS HE STATES HE IS! His background story fits and everything about him seems genuine. He is also a surprise addition to the squad picked up from a youth squad the u17 played. And he is the biggest talent I have seen in Nigerian youth football in 10 years or more.

For semiproof just look at this picture.

Very interesting and educative post.

You are correct about Sani.

Chukwudi and Okoro are two guys who have no bizness in that squad. Honestly.

Do you think Bertrand Traore is really 14 years old?

As for the Gambians, they have a very strong football culture and I have no doubt their players are within 2 years of what they say they are. In Gambia, you will see young boys training for football every morning by jogging kilometres on the beach and they have a strong grassroots football culture there. Everyday, all the best players gather at Banjul stadium and receive professional coaching for all ages.

Dele Giwa was about to expose Mariam Babangida's drug dealing runs when he was killed. . . . I hope those wishing the witch a speedy recovery will remember Dele-Giwa's widow.

How long is Zhirkov out for?

honeric01:
why not apply for the Milo u-13 going to cape Verde for junior African cup?

Cape Verde?. . . . Im sure if Nigeria wins that one, bloody Nigerians will be out on the street celebrating like it means anything. . . . each State Governor will probably donate cars and houses to the "12 year old" boys and Yar'Adull will declare National Public Holiday. . . . whilst Sani Lulu will use the Under-13 victory as evidence of good management in his next NFF election campaign. . . . bloody Nigerians with their misplaced priorities  

honeric01:
Take heart, you will get there!!!

your miracle is on its way!!!

I will surely get there. . . . thats why Im going for trials for the next Under-17 squad! 

Phuck the golden eaglets.

Their captain wey finish secondary school in 1998 in PH.

That same year, I also finished secondary school. . . and I was a year younger than all ma classmates. . . . and Im 27. . . . meaning the nucca is 28 and above!

Wonders shall never end!

hehehe! Even you Ibime. I think say you no dig Naija footie?

I no dig Naija youth footie. . . . I can still support the Super Eagles if I wish.

au contraire. . . . Cudicini was the best goalie in the prem for 3 or 4 seasons before 2005.

These boys better not phuck up. Ma whole summer 2010 is riding on them.

It is laughable that this is even a national issue.

Newsflash for Nigerians: No-one in the world cares about who won what in youth football!

It is only in Nigeria where the NFA have miseducated Nigerians into viewing youth tournament victories as a key progress indicator. You will often hear idiots like Sani Lulu boasting of their achievements of having won the "Under 17 world cup".

The only thing that counts in football is the senior team!

Chukwudi is simply a victim of fate. But his hopes and ambitions are not large enough from stopping the Nigerian nation from making progress.

The only reason we parade players like him is because NFF have foregone their principle duty of developing youth football.

He must be sacrificed to ensure that henceforth we only develop the right youngsters and rid ourselves of this cancer where we often have quadragenarians parading in the Super-Eagles, having graduated from the under-17 team at 27 years of age.

I pray Nigeria is banned from youth football for 10 years!!!

If you are sick, and you refuse to go see the doctor, you must be sectioned for your own good!

I wonder why Tottenham are not paying Carlo enough money to buy a proper automobile. The small Okada wey him use him Spurs wages buy, shebi una see wetin una don cause?

In all honesty, heres wishing Carlo a speedy recovery. Cudicini will always remain a legend at The Bridge.

Its a shame that Eastbay has decided to reveal his prejudice against Ndigbo.

Emperoh, what do you have to say about this!

FBS:
