The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigeria is now respected in the international community and this is evident in his interaction with foreign leaders.

President Buhari made this known via his official Instagram account.

Even if Atiku is a direct descendant of Lucifer and a cousin to the devil himself and best friends with Judas, we will try him.Even if he is a paternal uncle to Cain, a distant cousin to Achan, Ananias and Saphira , an elder brother to Pharaoh, a nephew to Herod, Delilah's boyfriend or Portipher's wife's ex-boyfriend, we will still try him. If he ends up like "baba nepotism, recession, 5 percent and 95 percent stereotyping", we will vote him out in 2023.

His "writerly side"? Obasanjo write Yeah right! OBJ can;t even write his name talkless of being such a great writer.

For any the books he purportedly wrote, there were over a dozen ghost writers!

And OBJ isn't smart either. In fact, he's far from being smart. He's too machiavellian, i grant him that but being evil doesn't equate to being smart. Anyway, may be Nigerians have a different definition of smartness than everyone else. In that sense, the likes of IBB and OBJ should be the smartest Nigerians alive!

Wisdomkosi:
In his words,

"I don’t admire him in any way, because nothing he does, inspires me. Except his ‘writerly’ side. "

" And I didn’t tell him that I do - no, but he is not a dumbo. He is a very smart man. He is using Nigeria to play chess and ayo - which he plays every day. But you can’t take his smartness away from him. One of the most chameleonic and smartest and Machiavellian figures I have met."

Not a bad line up, if you ask me. Personally, I wouldn't start either one of Ighalo or Onazi but I can live with that ... one person I wouldn't wanna see in the Super Eagles starting line up is Bryan Idowu.


O pari

tbaba1234:
Rohr team A in training. Most likely starting line up.

Team A:

Francis Uzoho

Shehu Abdullahi

Jamilu Collins

Leon Balogun ‎

William Troost-Ekong

Ogenyi Onazi

Wilfred Ndidi

Alex Iwobi

Ahmed Musa

Samuel Kalu

Odion Ighalo

I definitely hope not! I mean, after the stinker he had in Russia, I will really pick issues with Rohr if Idowu starts ahead of Aina (or Collins) this time. Hopefully, playing in Serie A has helped Aina to improve because he didn't really show us anything before the World Cup.


O pari

I would be very surprised if Idowu is not our starting LB in the AFCON

Very well said, Emir. It's people like Sanusi who should be running for President not those thieves parading themselves as politicians.

Rohr hints Jamilu Collins may start for Super Eagles against Libya
328 By admin -

Gernot Rohr has given a strong hint that Jamilu Collins could make his official Super Eagles debut against Libya on Saturday after closely monitoring him at his German club.
“Collins is interesting for us. He has the qualities to play very well for us,” the Eagles coach said.
“Perhaps he will start the game (vs Libya).
“It is not just because he has a good left foot. He has a good physique, he’s quick, he can go forward and he is defensively strong.
“I saw him play for Paderborn when they beat Cologne 5-3 and he did very well.


“Two, three years ago, Paderborn were in the Bundesliga and they now want to come back (to the top flight). They have a really strong team.
“What I also saw from him before the Seychelles game was good, but he had a little injury, he wasn’t 100% to start the game.
“He started the game in Monrovia against Liberia and he was good.”
However, Rohr equally admitted the competition for the left fullback position is open in the absence of Elderson Echiejile, who has yet to secure a new club.
Ola Aina and Bryan Idowu are the other options for Rohr in this position.

- Score Nigeria

My condolences to Uche.

Sad news: Super Eagles Fringe player, Uche Agbo who stars for Standard Liege of Belgium have lost his mum.

My deep condolences to the young man and his family. It is well.

Bros, I weak o. If that was an endorsement, I'd like to see what a non-endorsement sounds like.

Something tells me that OBJ's heart is as ugly as his face


O pari

WisdomFlakes:
OBJ likes feeling important though. I felt he was too condescending in his remarks leading up to the so-called forgiveness, as if he is holier than Atiku. Asides the symbolic boost that his endorsement adds to Atiku's candidacy, I don't see how he will help him at the polls when it really gets down to it. Just saying.

It took me 5 mins to declare this dude the new Victor Moses. And if he keeps improving, he would even be better than VicMo.

Mark my words!

The French Connection: Samuel Kalu - The Nigerian nomad at home in Ligue 1
By Robin Bairner

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/a5/37/samuel-kalu-bordeaux_1vs9lzdc8pwzs1u1yhyu23ura3.jpg


The young winger is one of a host of foreign imports impressing in le Championnat - the League of Talents

It has already proven to be a big season for 21-year-old Bordeaux winger Samuel Kalu, who has earned himself regular minutes at the Ligue 1 club while carving out a place in the Nigeria national side.

He was handed his international debut against the Seychelles at the beginning of September, in which he grabbed an assist, and now promises more.
With an African Nations Cup qualifying double-header against Libya looming, Gernot Rohr has rewarded the youngster for his promising start to the season in Ligue 1 with what is becoming a regular berth in a the squad looking to rebuild after the World Cup.
Editors' Picks

For Kalu, his debut represents a highlight of a career that has already taken him far and wide. His journey into the professional game started at the Golden Boot Academy, before taking him to France via short spells in Slovakia with Trencin and in Belgium with Gent.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/67/9/samuel-kalu-gent-17042017_5awlay4etxrc1j4xzue0o5i4y.jpg

“I adapt wherever I go,” Kalu has previously admitted – and his success to date suggests that is indeed the case.

By the time Bordeaux swooped for him in the summer for a reported fee of €8 million, he had made fewer than 50 top-flight appearances with Gent but had impressed sufficiently in order for the Ligue 1 side to line him up as a replacement for the talismanic Malcom, who moved to Barcelona in the summer after exploding in France.

“I’m happy that he’s signed for Bordeaux,” Rohr, who turned out for the French club during his playing career in the 1980s, said in August. “I think he’ll give them penetration on the flanks because he likes to play in space. Against teams who like to defend deep, players like Kalu can help find solutions.”

His statistics in the 2017-18 season were formidable, having netted six goals and offered a further seven assists in only 24 league outings.

“He has an interesting profile, with speed and technical qualities,” Bordeaux president Stephane Martin told the press, indicating the chief reasons why the player he had been signed.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/2a/88/samuel-kalu_1fe8w7k886g5h1rygrrfmjjb8o.jpg


The hope from both the club and the player is that he can replicate the spectacular success that Malcom enjoyed over the duration of a deal at Stade Matmut-Atlantique that will last five years.
“Ligue 1 is another step,” the player, given the No.10 shirt, admitted when he signed with the club.

He arrived on August 6 as Bordeaux’s first signing of the summer and in seven subsequent Ligue 1 appearances has mustered one goal and one assist.

Despite relatively modest numbers, club coach Eric Bedouet has praised the importance of a player Nigeria hope can become a replacement for Victor Moses, who announced his international retirement a matter of weeks ago.

“For a centre forward, wingers like Kalu and Francois Kamano are precious,” Bedouet said. “Kalu’s crossing is very, very good. They both possess great physical qualities and have a little of the same style: they’re very quick, direct, powerful and physically-strong.
“Look at the build of Kalu – he’s capable of stopping with the ball then accelerating again, making the difference in a game all in one action.”

The pair have often worked in conjunction this season and have been one of Bordeaux’s major strengths as they have powered into the top half of the standings.

Kamano, 22 and now into his fifth season as a professional, has hogged the headlines after netting seven times already, but Bedouet, who takes matchday responsibilities for the club, is well aware of the value of the duo’s powers.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/f0/95/french-connection-kalu-gfx_tnleypfoqlx61cmd2d6252wqa.jpg


“Both of them together, it’s quite annoying for opponents,” Bedouet added last week. “They have to continue these performances for the duration.”
Indeed, Bordeaux have leaned heavily on the pair and will continue to do so in the weeks ahead as domestic and Europa League commitments mount.

For Kalu, it has been a whirlwind beginning to the season, but for a young man fast tracked through Slovakian and Belgium football, it is a feeling that is not unfamiliar. Progress in his career has been unrelenting, and despite a left-field route to Bordeaux, he will expect it to continue all the way to the top.

Thank you for posting this news article. I always laugh each time I see folks trying to give Sunday Oliseh credit for capping Iwobi. gosh, Oliseh wouldn't even recognize a talented player if one hits him on the face.


O pari

forgiveness:
Because we wanted him to play for the U23 and to do that he must play for the SE first because he was not eligible to play for the U23 team due to the fact that he already played for England underage team.

Why Oliseh invited Iwobi – Dikko


3 years ago

Shehu Dikko

The 2nd Vice-President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Shehu Dikko, has clarified why Super Eagles handler, Sunday Oliseh, invited Arsenal’s U-21 player, Alex Iwobi, for next month’s friendlies against Cameroon and DR Congo.

Iwobi, 19, was handed a late invitation by Oliseh and Dikko says it is because U-23 coach Samson Siasia, needs the teenager for the U-23 and he must play at full international stage for Nigeria to make that possible.

“The call-up to Iwobi is simple a footballing as well technical one and for the good of the country. Iwobi has declared intention to represent Nigeria and he is good enough to represent Nigeria at U23 level. However, as he has played for England at the junior level he cannot play for Nigeria again at the junior level as FIFA would only approve his change of Nationality if he plays for the main Super Eagles,” Dikko wrote on his


“Therefore, his call-up now is to get his nationality change sorted and thus make him available to play for the Nigeria U23 If selected.

"Hence, Oliseh called him up on the request of Siasia who wants to use him for the U23s and by this action Nigeria will have secured his allegiance and this would also further motivate other players like him to come along.

KPOM. My sources are telling me that Peter Obi has been penciled down, but Ekweremadu still stands an outside chance ... the political heavyweights in Abuja might pull him over the line. My sources, within PDP, are telling me that the likes of Bukola Saraki and Dogara are the arrowheads pushing Ekweremadu's case.


O pari

Mynd44:
Only Ben Obi, Peter Obi And Ekweremadu are being considered

You cannot tell me that Ebere Eze is substantially better than any one who was invited. The keyword being "substantially better". Hence, for most people on here to be wailing about his non-invite as if Rohr has committed an abominable act to me is nothing more than the rantings of idle minds. No offence

I was one of the first person here to call for Ebere Eze's consideration, but I will not lose sleep over his non-invite because the players invited merit their invite.


O pari

edi287:
That one concern you. Where did I say he was the second coming of Messi?
Ebere has done well enough to be invited and he didn't - therefore I have every right to state my opinion.
Don't ever call me disgusting because you want to form "the one with a moral compass".

Actually, it's not. Can you name one Nigerian born player who had a long career with the 3 Lions? They would you get country tied with an inconsequential game and then dump you like a hot eba. Yet those guys cannot learn from history.

So sorry dear. . You'll get over it soon.

Nigerians are some of the most disgusting human beings on the planet, earth. Once a player isn't invited, he would suddenly become the second coming of Messi. I tell you, if Kelechi Nwakali wasn't invited the wailers would be wailing about his non-invite.

Listen, if Ebere Eze wants to play for England, let him freaking go and let the door not hit him on the way out. We ain't gonna miss him. We've already seen how that (playing for England) is working for Tammy Abraham. BS upon BS


O pari

edi287:
SMH is anyone surprised by Ebere Eze's U20 invite?? It was coming.
There was absolutely no reason for Rohr not to invite him like he invited the Nwakali brothers...even if it's to train with the team and be on the bench.
People will say it's just U20, but if this guy moves to the epl - he's a 100 gone.
Southgate is a guy that likes taking risks with youth. If Ebere Eze performs for the U20 - then he's a 100 on his radar.
Well done Rohr. Your DM fetish better make us qualify and perform well at AFCON or e go be for you.

Good move by the CBN. That money spray is one of the most stupid culture in the whole wide world.

Despite being international team-mates with Croatia captain Modric, Rakitic made it clear who he rates as the greatest footballer.

"With all respect to other players, who have won it [Ballon d'Or], we know there is a player who is different to the others, and that is Leo Messi," Rakitic said post-game.

"Sometimes there are circumstances like Luka Modric doing an outstanding season and maybe people want to change a bit.

"But, with all respect, Luka and the others know there is a player who is different to the others, and that is Leo Messi."

Bia, Mister EPL, Spurs were extremely fortunate to avoid 6 goals being conceded last night. Both Suarez & Coutinho were strangely out of sorts yesterday.

EPL best league in the world? A look at the UEFA rankings shows that 4 of the top 6 teams in Europe come from La Liga! Whilst perceived as a two horse race with only Real or FCB likely to win it the UEFA rankings suggest that they have to be at a very high standard to do so, which perhaps explaining the gulf between the best in Europe and best in England.

Last nights abject displays by EPL teams confirms what most of us know already - the EPL is a joke. Please, let me NOT hear about the "intensity and the physicality" of the EPL games any more

My people, abeg, mek una excuse me but somebody needs to say this:

Well, it appears Kelechi Nwakali is not ready and so needs to go back to the oven to continue the baking.
Iwobi is a naturally gifted AM rated higher than K.Nwakali. Even if Nwakali was in this team Iwobi will still start ahead of him.

I also agree Ebere Eze deserved this opportunity with the absence of Mikel and Joel.
