Naah, he was speaking "audible" enough, the problem is that Americans can't understand his broken English and horrible accents.

only finds his voice when it's time to defend his Fulani brothers

Actually, that doesn't surprise me. Ekong is a solid defender but his weakness is the tendency to give ball away at the defensive end (inaccurate passes). That's a major weakness and many coaches won't tolerate that - one giveaway in the final 3rd can destroy your 90mins of great defending.


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
Overhyped player.

But what could be the reason behind Ekong's relegation to the bench? It's baffling and surprising.

Nigeria
Monaco’s Bid For Gent Samuel Kalu Threatens Interest From Hoffeinheim & Bayern Leverkusen


French Ligue 1 side Monaco have tabled a bid for hot in demand Nigerian wing forward Samuel Kalu who currently plays for Belgium side Gent, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

The bid from Monaco arrived at the start of the month but Gent are yet to respond to the bid as they are also mulling over interest from two German Bundesliga side in Hoffeinheim and Bayern Leverkusen.

It is believed that the forward prefers a move to the German Bundesliga but the teams interested in his services are yet to follow up their interest with a bid, although that could happen in the summer.

Monaco are however keen on wrapping up his signing as their bid is believed to be close to Gent’s valuation of the forward which is around the €20m mark.

However Gent are wary of losing both Moses Simon and Kalu in the same window but a bidding war for the later could force them to have a rethink and consider letting go of the Nigerian duo.

One more shot at the whole Messi v Ronaldo debate (*sorry guys, I have to ):

8 of Ronaldo's goals this season have come against Andorra (1), Faroe Islands (3) and Apoel Nicosia (4).

Weakest International team faced by Messi was Venezuela.
Weakest European team was Olympiakos.

Of the current top 6 La Liga teams -
Ronaldo has only scored against Valencia and Real Betis.
Messi has scored against Atl. Madrid, RM, Betis & Villareal.


Now, who's better


O pari

For your Tuesday Nuggets (enjoy):

It was extraordinary. In the second half of the first leg, Real Madrid almost played with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo was so passive. But he epitomises Real Madrid. He doesn't need to do a lot, they don't need to do a lot, and they still find a way to win.

Well, a smart person would have explained that he'll concentrate on commanding a starting place at his club before he starts thinking about the world cup. The world cup is a privilege earned through playing well for your football club. It's not a favor doled out to individuals.


O pari

BascoVanVeli:
Concentrate on what? He was asked a question that he has every right to answer. He didn't say "Rohr must pick me" . When he was in the 3rd division people were complaining. Now that another keeper is doing the same we want to use it against him

Well, even with the goalkeeping crisis, I would still not consider him until he starts seeing action at his club side.

Anyway, I don't blame him sha. The folks we should blame are those paid naija journos.


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
You're right... I think the goal keeper crisis gave him the chance

Well, he should concentrate on getting playing time at his club and not be thinking the world cup. You gotta walk first before you run.


O pari

BascoVanVeli:
Bros are you sure you read that article well? He made no demands but who no like better thing? Why wouldn't he say he wants to go to the wc, who doesn't

KPOM! Truer words have never been spoken!!

As Gerald Pique rightly said: "If Balon d'Or is given to the best player in the world, Messi would be winning Balon d'Or every year since 2010."

Joebie:
Based on individuality he should win the balon d’ or Best of FIFA every year he kicks the ball.
But football is a team sport.

Appropriate quote by the way.

Yup. We can rate him until he does it "on a cold rainy day in Stoke"

Bizarre people


O pari

Joebie:
He hasn’t played in the EPL yet

It's really annoying to see someone who's yet to play a single game for his football club demanding to be invited to the national team.

If you're good, prove it first by playing for your club side ... that would convince the national team coaches of your quality and the need to invite you. It's only in Nigeria that you'd see a player who's yet to play an official match for his football club demanding a national team invite!

BS upon BS!!

Alampasu Hopes For World Cup Spot In Super Eagles
April 30, 2018 9:30 am

Feriense goalkeeper, Dele Alampasu, says it will be “a dream come true” for him to make Nigeria’s 2018 World Cup final squad, but admits it will be tough, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Alampasu has not been called up to the Super Eagles squad in a year but remains confident of his abilities if given the chance he could gate-crash into the squad for the World Cup.

“Everyone is looking forward to the list that will be released soon and for me I hope I’m included,” Alampasu told CSN .

“Making the provisional list is one and included in the World Cup squad is another but that will be a fulfilling dream for me and I pray so but it will be tough.”

The 21-year-old, has not featured for Feriense this season but remains a squad player at the club. He faces stiff competition from the likes of Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi and Dele Ajiboye.

An 11-year-old girl who was being maltreated by her guardian in Asaba, Delta state capital, has been rescued. The girl who was seen with injuries all over her body especially her hands after several beatings and torture by the woman she lived with - was rescued by Due Process Advocates (DPA) Warri, Delta Chapter led by Edafe Joshua.

A well meaning Nigerian who saw bruises on the girl's body raised an alarm before steps were taken to reunite her with her family. The advocate said;

"The girl in this picture was passing by my shop Friday last week and i noticed that she has series of injuries on her head and was look very malnourished. I beckoned on her to come and i asked her what happened to her head and she started crying.

"I equally noticed several other injuries all over her body especially her hands. i asked her who she was staying with and she said her aunty.

"I asked her whether her aunty maltreats her and she said yes and she want to go back to her parents in Warri but doesn't know how to go about it. On futher inquiries, I discovered that this aunty of hers is not married and beats her over nothing and equally starve her.

"My first move was to locate the parents of the girl, whom she said live in Warri. But she could not give a coherence address of where her parents live in Warri. The description she gave was onl. "Enter keke to Airport road- enter another keke to God's grace church - enter a place fenced with plank and ask of Deborah's parents." She gave her mother's name as Rebecca and her father's name as Isaac.

"Upon further interview of the girl, she said that she is tired of staying with the woman and would prefer to die because of the ill treatment and abuse from the said madam. She said she tried to commit suicide and drank hypo but on realizing what she had done, she quickly took palm oil to neutralize it."

The girl's poor parents who gave her out as a maid - were later located in Warri as the girl was reunited with her family.

A few more nuggets to spice up your Monday morning (enjoy):

Messi's evolution into a creative midfielder and a striker at the same time is evidenced by the stats: he leads La Liga this season in goals (32 goals), assists (12), chances created (81) and secondary assists (passes leading directly to an assist: nine).

Seriously folks, is that man really a human being or an alien


O pari

Here are a few nuggets for your Monday morning:

Messi is the FIRST player to ever score 30 or more La Liga goals in seven different seasons.
Can this record ever be broken?



O pari

First of all, that's not a good prophecy. I may even call it a demonic attack. Any prophecy that puts fear in your heart is not of God; for fear has torment. As Job said:
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Job 3:25.

meanwhile, here's how to break that chain/bondage. If you haven't given your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, try to do so immediately. And you don't even need anybody to preach to you either. If you really want a relationship with God, get your Bible and start reading from the gospel of John. I promise you, if you're sincere, Jesus Christ would reveal Himself to you before you finish reading that gospel.

Once you've given your life to Christ, then you can through fasting and prayer break that curse that was laid upon you by that woman. The bible says that "a curse without cause shall not come." Once you complete these two steps, you'll see how your relationship with women would change.

RickRansom:
I was schooling in the Western Nigeria at the time of this incident. One day I traveled to a distant city, and since the person I went there to see was not a church goer, I located a church around for Sunday service. During the service, their pastor or someone like that, who I didn't know anywhere before that day, singled me out of the crowd and said, "Don't put yourself under pressure looking for a wife. Your wife is nowhere near. She is in a very distant place, and you will travel to the place before you can meet her."

Before the actual prophesy, she said "You're not in any dating relationship and you live alone. Two people told you they wanted to start living in your apartment. Please, don't welcome them."

That is very accurate. I was living alone in a room. Two friends, who were also students, told me that they would start living with me the following semester because they wouldn't be able to afford their house rent by the time we resumed for the next semester.

But I'm not a student of that type of prophetic school of thought. So, I don't rely on the prophesy. But despite all my efforts, unmarried women kept disappointing me until I lost interest in dating. So, I no longer care about getting a wife. But my people are mounting pressure on me to get married. They then started arranging women for me. I'm handsome, and anywhere I go, girls and married women won't stop looking my direction. I'm very funny and fluent in English. After meeting those arranged for me the first time, they stopped talking to me afterwards, despite that they couldn't look at me in the face when we first met. But this is not so with married women. I can swear that two married women offered me sex of recent.
I'm 37, and tired of being not married. Is this prophesy the thing that is orchestrating my woes?

You're not the only one, bro. I really can't understand what Arsene Wenger sees in Jack Wilshere!

As per Mustafi, the less said the better. The question I have always asked is, 'has Per Mertesacker became so bad that Mustafi has to play come what may? That dude has been having a stinker all season long!

In fact, the new regime can't come fast enough. I am not an Arsenal fan but I feel bad for them. To me, Wenger should've been let go 2 seasons ago.

A dribbling Iwobi would have done better than that useless Welbeck that can't make an attacking run on the wing.

TheSuperNerd:
Leicester City Star Ndidi: Messi Is Unstoppable, We Have To Beat Croatia, Iceland


Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was honest to admit that Nigeria will find it difficult to beat Argentina when both countries face off at the World Cup on June 26 because the South Americans have the best player on the planet, Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
The Super Eagles kickoff their sixth World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 16 before another intriguing clash against tournament dark horses Iceland six days later, and the Foxes current Young Player of the Year has stressed that they have to pick up wins in the first two games or know their last sixteen fate before battling Argentina.

''Argentina team is very good, for me I will say Messi is unstoppable. He is the best player in the world,'' Ndidi explained to FIFA World Cup Russia Magazine.
''We just have to try and win, give it all in our first two games before we face Argentina.''

Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel says they are not traveling to Russia just to make up the numbers but to make history, which means they are targeting at least a place in the semifinals of the World Cup.

''I think we are in a group where we can do something. It depends on our preparations and how much we want it, not just we have qualified let's just go and play the World Cup.
''We want to make history, we want to do well. We want to make sure we go there believing we can beat Argentina, Croatia and Iceland,'' added Mikel.

The Super Eagles will face Democratic Republic of Congo, England and Czech Republic in friendlies before their trip to Russia for this summer's football festival.
