No matter how you wan justify am say 5 members of your first 11 have never playe a world cup for Naija, and have not won an AFCON to compensate for that bare minimum they failed to meet

Our failure has nothing to do with the 5 players. It only takes 3 or 4 clowns to spoil a team which NFF keep doing

The difference between Senegal 92 team and our 1994 golden team is only 4 players (Oliseh, Amuneke, Rufai and Amokachi)

macjireh:
Osimhen----Yekini....Ighalo


Iwobi---------Mikel--------Okocha


Celestine---Taribo-----Keshi-----Yobo

-----------------Enyeama-----------

Any 11 without Finidi is already dead on arrival and fails the smell test. Indomie things

Finidi is the first name on any teamsheet

raumdeuter:
You leave Yobo come pick Aina wey Adingra use dribble comot his intestines at his only roll out for Eagles

We have Babayaro Taiwo and Oliha who can play LB you come bring Bassey inside

Lookman has not done enough to make a Naija first eleven, On the left wing players like Amunike and Ikpeba fit body am sef .

Iwobi might be better than his uncle but none of them is making Nigeria first 11. Iwobis uncle can go hustle for Bolton first 11

Babayaro and Taiwo were disgrace for Super Eagles, very soft and their wing always targeted especially Taiwo who goes walkabout. Babayaro NT career ends in underaged tournaments, nothing remarkable at senior level. I never reason Iroha, na Babayaro and Taiwo I want reason

I must have Uche Okechukwu in my 11 and Keshi for his pre-94 career plus his exploits as coach. And Bassey is already an all-timer, so easily I will move Bassey to leftback

Yobo was a disgrace who old age already caught by 2007 and who was bodied and bullied incessantly in Ghana 2008 by Salomon Kalou and Malians. He also failed to qualify us for 2006 WC against bloody Angola

I can't put snail Mikel in my midfield. If you must comot Iwobi then it's for Onazi or Adepoju and those 2 I cannot somehow put over Iwobi

There should be no complaint otherwise except Amuneke Vs Lookman which is close

6ixT8:
My focus is solely on FAcup.

Before nko. That's like Crystal Palace boasting their focus is solely on Conference league

iamoyindamola:
4 and half
You won COVID own by coin tossing
By the way you won these during the time we are not available or newbies
Come and win it now na

I was FA Cup winner in 2024

raumdeuter:
So for this current team wey no fit make 2 world cup back to back, wey dey struggle to qualify for group of Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Benin , wey never win AFCON you chose 5 out of 11 all time for Eagles

E dey do me like make I konk your head

Shey for right-back, should I choose Eguavoen the clown or Yobo who was bullied relentlessly after 2006 over Aina, or which left back should I put over Bassey?

Is there another striker I should put over Osimhen or you prefer your powder puff midfield shaku shaku master to Iwobi

The only close call I had was Amuneke Vs Lookman and I went with Lookman because Amuneke got injured irreparably in 1997, so his Super Eagles career was only 1994-1997. Both players won African Player of the Year.

Calibrator:
One dilemma for managers in the second half of the season, I am talking about Pro-managers who are doing well in Classic leagues and H2H not the pretenders cum paper tigers like iamoyindamola, emaprince, Brutallion, 6ixT8 etc. I digress....

The dilemma is which to prioritise between finishing high in the classic leagues by deploying all available chips between GW25-32 to optimise overall ranking or to prioritise the H2H Leagues by sitting on the chips till very end of the season GW35-38 so as to win H2H playoffs and ultimately the final.


H2H League it is for me

League always trumps H2H

Speaking as a 2 time league winner and 5 time FA Cup winner. Something paper tigers like iamoyindamola, emaprince, Brutallion, 6ixT8 etc can never imagine. I digress....

Brutallion is a 2 time league and 2 time FA Cup winner. Second only to Ibime Ayapripri Jack Daniel in the pantheon of greatness

DissTroy:
I was responding to the guy above. The example he used was of a racist South African athlete who nobody even remembers his name.

Dr. Umar has more influence than 100 of his type. Andz yes, there's nothing more mainstream than the Breakfast Club in the Black community. Even Kamala Harris had to go on the show, I think, to solicit Black votes

Dr. Umar is mainstream now. He's even more mainstream than Nick Fuentes will ever be. He gets referenced a lot. Go on X, Facebook and YouTube. See his combined views and followers.

He's the most dominant Black voice on race issues away from politics. Mention which Black is more influential in that niche. But he is platformed.

Imagine Joe Rogan platforming the Grand Wizard or the spokesperson of the Proud Boys.

Dr Umar no dey vote or tell person who to vote. He is an isolationist. No bring Umar into comparison with the above

MorataFC:
I know raumdeuter will disagree with inclusion of Okocha.

Me sef have my reservations about the list.

The whole list is wack. I can only agree with 5 players there being Enyeama, Keshi, Oliseh, Yekini and Osimhen

My list:

- - ------- Enyeama

Aina. Keshi Okechukwu. Bassey

------------Oliseh------- Iwobi

Finidi----------------------------------- Lookman

---------------- Yekini. Osimhen

DissTroy:
Dr. Umar is completely against interracial marriage.

Yes, he is platformed by the most influential and biggest Black podcast.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx9SCVP9Skc?si=JpeyLAA3fp98m-V3

They laughed about it. He has millions of followers and speaks at events.

Even Nick Fuentes isn't this crazy, but he's a White supremacist.

You can only bamboozle people lapping up CNN narratives. I don't. I dig deeper. I see the double standards.

Dr Umar is not a mainstreamed political figure. What's next Sheikh Gumi?

I can understand bringing in Mamdani since the loonartik has been mainstreamed by the far left and even got position, but Dr Umar has no political affiliation and couldn't care to vote. Dr Umar position is "fk all y'all" like Malcolm X.

DissTroy:
Or more of culture. The same entitled Black South Africans who attack your brothers from Ogoni to Awka who are being resourceful and prospering? The same Xenophobes?

How come Tanzania doesn't have the same problem?

You are actually defending Black Xenophobic South Africans who are more likely to dîsembowel you for your native Nigerian name than the White who want closed, gated communities without disturbance?



GDPs of all countries have doubled since that period save for Venezuela. Also, inflation happened.

I,000 rands in 1990 when Mandela came out of prison is worth about 15,000 to 20,000 rands. Yes, I researched this. There goes your argument.

That GDP was in dollars and below is the inflation adjusted GDP per Capita held to 2010 dollar valuation across all years. There are metrics for these things.

South Africa is richer per head of population today than apartheid, there are more South Africans living in relative comfort today than there where white people in South Africa in 1980.

So let's remove race from the picture and see what number or percentage of the populations lives have been improved assuming all men are created equal.

There are 16m South Africans worth over $50k today and almost zero black South Africans of that worth in 1980. There were 5 million White South Africans in 1980, let's assume they all had at least $50k (even the children who should be half of the 5m)

16m > 5m is progress anywhere in the world.

And who doesn't like it can do poll - ONE MAN, ONE VOTE and see landslide result.

Their argument only holds water if you don't see all man as equal.

Wrong is wrong. The Nazis posted better economic result from 1933 to 1942 except for their small population of Jews and that is enough to damn them. Wrong is wrong.

DissTroy:
We look back on Nigeria in the colonial times and how it was better administered and the years after when all the colonialist had not left yet were our most prosperous as a country. Even on this thread and on the wider social media. Should I post examples across social media?

Don't our old uncles and aunties remind us of these things? Don't they remind you? Are they glorifying Colonialism?

Interestingly, the better administrated parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe are those controlled by... You know the words I'm about to type next.

You and I know why Bonny Island seemed, for years, better administrated and organized than many other parts were. At least parts of it.

There is no town or City centre in Nigeria that any Nigerian couldn't go during Colonialism

For a white supremacist to retweet that they are spilling out from the favelas into your Cities shows exactly the depth of racism and apartheid in his mind and where he wants black people kept

There is nothing romantic about 5% of the people chopping 95% of the wealth. Of course there will be more to go around to the 5%. South Africa has neither declined in GDP nor GDP per Capita since apartheid, infact it has bloomed. But now it has to be shared amongst the other 95%, and the 5% aren't happy that the sharing arrangement does not favour them as much as the one built on the back of black misery.

DissTroy:
There's actually a White replacement theory. Elon Musk has always said Whites should reproduce as much as other races do else they'd be replaced.

I can mention top Leftist who have called for Whites to be exterminated.

And, yes, non-Whites in today's wod are more likely to be violent to Whites than otherwise.

Here's the first proof: In the U.S. today, there are more black-and-white violent crimes then white-on-black. Prove me wrong, Ibime. I have the official US DOJ statistics as my own proof.

Secondly, Whites reproduce the least in today's world and Elon has been calling for more reproduction for years even when he was the darling of the Left


Here's your beloved CNN praising Elon Musk for advocating for more births in the Western Hemisphere (where Whites primarily live in) : https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/10/us/pronatalism-elon-musk-birth-rates-cec .

Oga I'm not discussing any White Supremacy/Replacement or giving it any validity in political discourse other to say than anyone who partakes in such is rightly an Apartheid boy

There is no reason on God's green earth for anyone to look back wistfully on a golden age of Rhodesia or South Africa where 95% of population had the foot on their neck except he is an Apartheid boy. Regardless on whether you argue that South Africa is socialist leaning today. That would be akin to looking back on slavery in Haiti as a golden age just because the Haitian revolution has produced undesired economic results since then.

DissTroy:
He didn't say so.

Don't allow CNN and NYT shape your worldview. You should know better.

It took me less than a minute to dig this up.

Elon responded to a quote saying, "America is headed there soon." https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2010262335672475835?s=20 I follow Elon so follow what really began what led to it.

It was Elon responding to a post condemning communism globally and how kleptomaniacs hide under equality to steal. Some use the term nationalism.

It's also to a broader issue where states like California mulling a bill to over-tax the ultra rich so much, about $1 trillion HNI have left the state.

It was also about issues where foreign properties are nationalized.

It happened in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Venezuela etc and we all know how that panned out. It was a post in support of capitalism which I know you support.

CNN will never tell you this because they like to paint distorted images.

This same Elon Musk?

I have followed Elon Musk for years and I have very valid reason to call him Apartheid Boy

Na who no sabi Elon Musk go dey excuse am

Content creators no go kill pesin

Nobody will be allowed on UK building site with slippers on, must have steel toe cap boots

Elon Musk has gone full "Apartheid Boy" as I always knew him to be, the werey no dey even hide am again. Praising the golden days of Rhodesia and South Africa under apartheid.

I used to use combination of Fentanyl and Propofol when relocating shoulder and hip dislocations for adults and you have to keep the patient on oxygen and telemetry monitoring all the time because of the risk.

Someone please alert Donald Trump to send Tomahawk to this nigga location. We have fentanyl supplier in our midst.

timbros:
I use to think Victor Boniface is the clown of the team until I see clips of Chukwueze in this AFCON This guy na whole bundle of vibes altogether

He even mimic Chelle interview, in his presence Everybody wan choke with laughter, including coach himself

Chukwueze, Awaziem and Amas Obasegie are only in the squad because they foster team spirit

Obasegie is playing in Tanzanian league and they picked him over Uzoho until Maduka dropped out. There is also one tall keeper we have called Chijioke Aniagboso who is a starter in Ukrainian second division, they keep ignoring him for Obasegie. Obasegie is the music coordinator in Eagles dressing room, that nigga you always see holding speaker when they are entering stadium and leading the gyrations. These are the small things that make some players mainstays in Super Eagles (eg Awaziem) for years even if they are way below par on the pitch.

See as Adichie son die, she held the Hospital accountable.

That TikTok influencer (Sunshine) died during routine fibroid removal surgery and the family announced "unfortunately the surgery did not go as planned", announced her demise and moved on.

Exposure and education is everything

How do we watch Nigeria v Morocco, and Chelsea v Arsenal at the same time 🙆🏽‍♂️

Nigeria Vs Morocco it will be

Lana1:
Same here. My whole TL is in French right now. Algerians are crashing out. Malians and Senegalese are trolling them. Nigerians dey observe

Goes to show how people easily get radicalised on X. Only two or 3 posts wey I click and it has turned into an infinite loop of French, Moroccan and Algerian relations. X need to sort their algorithm. Thank God I am old enough to have known the socio-economic and geo-political landscape before social media so I know when I'm being misinformed. I just pity the younger generation and the next generations. AI and Social Media algorithms go so confuse them ehn.

Lana1:
All of North African twitter just dey vibrate since yesterday. If Morocco lose to these guys that whole region fit implode 😂
God help them if Egypt should also lose

I made the mistake of clicking on their wailings on X last night. Now my whole Twitter feed is in French and Arabic

Highest goalscoring defender has scored again

Twitter influencers will go crazy tonight

Egypt will need balls of steel to see this game out cos CIV is a problem

Ivory Coast is a threat, make dem comot

They are too small a nation to be on same number of AFCON wins as Nigeria. Make dem nackout and let Egypt meet us in final

Toooooooorrrrr

Is it true that Ndidi misses next game

https://x.com/ColinUdoh/status/2010041137667682614

The yellow won't keep him out but I hope the hamstring does as Onyedika is a much better option

Supporting Egypt.

They must reach final so that we can complete clean sweep of North Africa

Marmoooouuuushhh!!!

Lumumba done wear Nigeria jersey after we revenge that Algeria mockery

Dem go sack Thomas Franck today oh
