Boss me no support idenna ,but in all fairness to some of his point concerning ndidi, I also share some of his sentiment.. Ndidi is a better option Dan what we av at d moment...but is dere a gulf difference btw ndidi and other options we av in d midfield, judging by his performance In eagles shirt... I would say "NO". ....but in osimhen case ,d difference is huge compared to what oda strikers like nacho,onauchu brings to d table... And as for nwakali..personally I believe he's good for d bench.. In case iwobi start his "NEPA" attitude..I think with dis few point of mine,I hope I av been able to convince u and not to confuse you dt ndidi can b replaced wout losing sleep

You sound like you are scared or not sure about your assertions.

Please , be bold with your opinion and speak your mind without fear. Some people here can't shine your shoes but they have an opportunity to respond to we are on a faceless forum.

Karlovych:
How did Ndidi cost you nations cup glory? Algeria were the better side on that day and deserved to win the competition. What is Nwakali capable of doing that he hasn't done in his professional career? He is stuck in a lowly rated club and still anonymous. Zaha is stuck at Palace and delivers for them on a continuous basis. This is the messiah's CV below

It was his offence that led to the free kick Algeria scored.

andrewbaba44:
Ndidi cannot be replaced ,if you think ndidi is not indispensable then osimhen is also not

Ndidi is easily dispensable because he is not a major part of the team , just on paper.

The point we are msking is that he is actually crippling the team with his lack of vision.

Please , prove to us why Ndidi is indispensable.

Basically , there is no moderator on this section , right ? People are allowed to behave and say whatever they like without any penalization.

This same moderator would still join in condemning Buhari's government.

Kog45:
Sir,you damn funny,Super eagles have been watching since 1980 as Green eagles......Oh Nwakili is your own and Aribo is not your own....it's well with us as a Nigerian.

Stop acting goofy; you would still give your children preferential treatment because they are your biological children. You would neglect your kids and at the expense of others children in the street. This happens everywhere , even in politics.

The northerners and southwesterns will never voted and Igbo man in a major election....nobi preference. You Nigerians are hypocrites...dmh

Kog45:
Oga I know you don't rate Ndidi and nothing wrong with it but only a dead coach will bench Ndidi in SE.

Its important to understand why I don't rate him. I make my case with good argument not sentiments.

I don't rate him because he brings nothing to SE and I am not an European football fanatic.

Karlovych:
Nwakali the messiah is struggling at Huesca while Ndidi is in one of the best teams in England and has more goals contribution than the messiah this season for their respective teams.

Please , I know we are "all smart" here , so , let's us act like it.

Now , since Ndidi started turning up for Leicester what has he brought to the Eagles ? Answer is NOTHING! The guy is a failure with SE and even cost us a nation's cup glory. Open your eyes and stop pretending like you don't know Ndidi brings nothing to the table.

With Nwakali , even when he was unfit and played for Eagles...you could see what he is capable of doing. Yes , he has not being lucky with club football, but so are many great players , who are stuck in lowly rated clubs.

Take Awaziem for instance , he deserve better.

Another example is Wilfred Zaha who we all know is better that the guy Man City signed from Aston Villa for 100 million...but look at his performance. Sometimes , your performance at your club boils down to many factors.

Nwakali has been playing and remained consistent in his showing and if we are lacking in midfield then he deserve a bleeping invitation, for goodness sake. Your midfield has suffered because you don't have creative players , but you don't want to try something different and invite Nwakali....what is the sense in that ?

Kog45:
The rating Nwakili is receiving here is confusing,just remind me of Joel Obi prior to 2018 world cup.

Good performance from him will surely boost our midfield.

Nwakali is a local boy who we followed his progression and very familiar with his skill set , which makes it comfortable for us to trust him.

Aribo is an English born who we don't know what he is doing with SE and why he is wearing number 10 without the requisite quality. Before you reply me I want you to remember club football means nothing to us if you can't replicate it with SE. Is it clear , now ?

jihday:
how’s Nwakali important? A player with no cap? Abi it’s Ndidi you want to type?

Nwakali has featured for SE team B against Athletico Madrid FC , when he was out of form and he was the most mesmerizing player on the pitch. He also scored with a free-kick or so.

Kog45:
Oga meli,just say Victor Osimehn and Wilfred Ndidi.....Nwakili and Ejuke have Afcon to prove to us how good they are....and telling us Kelechi Nwakili is very important to eagles,sir I disagree,pls on what basis....I can only lose sleep on Osimehn and Ndidi if they are not available for selection.

Sir,time for us to calm down on Nwakili cos is rating here is damn on high sides,based on his performance so far he should just thank Eguavoen for believing in him,nothing more.

We need to reduce the pressure on the young man,the coming Afcon is an opportunity for him to prove a lot wrong and I wish the young man well.

Ndidi doesn't bring anything to the table , to be sincerely honest. Therefore , I dont see the reason for the importance attached to Ndidi.

In fact , I am beginning to feel the high value placed on Ndidi is one of the reason this current Eagles keep fumbling. You guys kept thinking Ndidi will come and save SE because he plays for Leicester. But you couldn't be more wrong because Ndidi is actually holding us back while you guys keep believing he will move us forward with his "world class" status. Its high time Ndidi is benched or moved to CB where he belongs.

My hope is that he doesn't start and Onyeka will take his place with Nwakali in the middle...I want to see how this experiment will go.

Hanibal:
You have asked this question like 100 times in the last one week, when does the amount a player is paid become a measure of quality?( I'm sure Kepa will be earning almost double Mendy's wages at Chelsea )
Is it a crime to play for Porto B at some point in a player's career?
You keep talking about his career 3, 4 seasons ago, what happened to your law of "here and now".?
By the way... Who do you suggest should replace him? Chuks Aneke? or Fred onyedinma? abi sheyi ojo? and this other one Tega Onomah?
Make rest

He has a nack for putting Nigerian players down. He just ramble bunch of nothingness just to appear like he got a point.

drDoom3:
He is too lazy off the ball. That is my main issue with the guy.

He is not aggressive enough. He doesn't take charge and rush into the rumble. I said it before that it was like he was trying not to get his jersey dirty. It is good to be sleek, but you also have to be aggressive and demanding to play at the top level.

This where Aribo edges Nwakali. Aribo is as sleek, but more aggressive and demanding. He always wants to join in and take matters into his hands. Aribo at Rangers is totally different from Aribo at SE because of the way Rohr uses him. Aribo is not a CM, he is more of a LM/AM hybrid. He is not a Kante or even an Onyeka, he is more of a De Bruyne/Eze with his shots on the edge of the box and his attacking runs. His passing is not up to the level it should be but he is still not too bad in that aspect.

So , you have the temerity to give excuses why Aribo has not impressed and even went further to to deafen us with all these qualities that made Aribo superior to Nwakali ? Just reread the thing you wrote and tell me you didn't see the bigotry and bias in that post that is good for the toilet drains.

In the last three matches Aribo played for SE he has no impressed , showed skills nor held the midfield with these invincible qualities he possessed. Anyways , whether you like it or not Nwakali is coming to camp and your fears will know no bounds. Sorry

TheGoodJoe:

Are you saying Olisa Ndah has a nice touch on the ball. I mostly noticed his sweet movement when he passes.

No , it's just an exclamation of excitement....Olisa doo doo doo( Lord please)

TheGoodJoe:

So sweet to watch. Even the way he spins to receive pass. Ooh la la.

Nna, slow down , biko....

Besides , I dont see how any football lover can condemn the boy..

TheGoodJoe:
Are you serious?

What you mean , bro.

Samueltemi337:
Nwakali way nor go start any match for afcon

Doesn't change his talent and skill set...lol.

The most gifted midfielder on the team.

TheGoodJoe:
On a serious note, there is no one in the Super Eagles that has the kind of touch of Nwakali. I don't know if he is raising his game because of the call up but that last through pass was brilliant. That was similar to that of Sarabia.

Sad it did not get to his teammate.

His ball control is also cool.

He needs to work on his work rate. Sometimes he strolls a bit too much. Also, he will look far better on a deeper role, playing in a possessive system. Nice one.

Nwakali has the most beautiful touch out of all our players. It comes natural to him. He caresses the ball so sexually...lol

Olisa doo !

2lola:
In your own words
"Vitriolic deep bitter leaf soup, you have lost all sensibilities and your rancorous resentment befuddled your already fried mind."

The guy is a serious enemy of Nigeria football. This is pure hate!!

Danielnino00:
They need to put it into practise..

It's unfortunate that a lot of African teams don't take the art of scoring and defending set piece serious

Nwakali is the best set piece taker. Don't you know this or you are being intentionally ignorant. You know it , so , don't pretend.

komekn:
Is he is the most outstanding player in his team ?
Is he the best Midfielder is his team ??
Is he outstanding in his low level league

What sort of senseless question is this?? Are you okay ? What is the point of these barrage of questions ?

elyte89:
I tot some ppu said he's already in nigeria since 3days back now ...anything to discredit dis young man

Anything to destroy the innocent boy's endeavor. But , look at the zombies devaluing him...lol

humility33:
Only a patient and some one from your clan will not pick issues with you for promoting those mediocre players in the first bolded

Those players are strictly below average now and instead you belittle players cutting it in renowed clubs in europe Ndidi, Iwobi and other innit boys so tell me who in his right senses will not see something wrong with that and when the discuss get tensed insult go flow

For the last bolded. The MODs tend to be quiet here reason because he think and see us here as friends that argue, fight, resolve and still play with each other after the whole rumble reason why he hardly meddle into issues here and if he was to meddle into issues like you're suggesting you'll be one of those that will be banned for like 22 years

Abeg na joke I dey ooo

Happy New Year Nwoke Oma Mazi Idenna

Cc. humility33

With all due respect , you are a compound eidiot. You dont have a functioning healthy brains.

Henceforth, I will put you where I placed the other ill-bred. I thought you had some sense in you but I was wrong.

My opinion is my opinion and must be respected because it doesn't hurt anybody.

andrewbaba44:
I didn’t insult you because you like nwakali ,no be only you like nwakali ,nerdy like nwakali and even chriskels

You said azubuike is better than ndidi ,you insult iwobi at any given opportunity ,you always talk down on iwobi

If I where you I would keep quiet

If the moderator get me banned I guess that would put some money inside your bank account

Papa azubuike Modric Jorginho okechukwu

Go siddon, you don cast finish. You jumped into a discussion that has nothing to do with you. In fact , it was a conversation with a separate person but, as soon as the illbred you call your friend took it upon himself to call me names it was enough reason for you to join the foray.

I don't like exchanging comments with you because you obviously have a mental problems.

And , no , you called me crack head and drug addict just because I said I prefer Azubike Okechukwu. You try this nonsense in the politics section you will be hammered with 6 months ban.

No time did I ever insult Ndidi nor Iwobi , I just don't fancy both players and I follow it up with strong reasons not insult. I will never call them names because I don't need to; I assessed them I reached my point. Ndidi might be a world player to you , but to me I will start Tijani ahead of him...and this is your definition of insult....lmao. Sshit filled brain!!


It's the lazy moderator I blame for this nonsense.

PurpleHouse:
Taking sides because na una "guy".

But na me be bad person wey cause trouble dey catch cruise.

Idiots.

Cc. PurpleHouse

I feel your discontent but a lot of people here has neither morals nor principles.

mostob:
listen bro... we Sabi Andrew Wella for here. . He might insult someone (rarely though) but as for cursing, count him out unless na you start am first. Catching cruise is not something bad ..you suppose flow with am instead of cursing.

I no dey take side sha...you people should apologize to yourselves and let's do cross over in peace

Don't speak on maatters you know nothing about. I have had many encounters with Andrew and some without him but he joined to rain insult on me. Why ? Because I love Nwakali , Mikel Agu and Azubike Okechukwu.....e don finish.

Dont go and swear on issues you know nothing about.

The bottomline is the moderator of this thread is grossly incompetent! I have reported on many occasions where rules were being broken left and right and he turned a blind eye. This same sad sack of a moderator would still criticize the Nigerian government...Semid is a trashh of a moderator...ffuck this moderator!

andrewbaba44:
Nobody is my most cherished player

Onyekuru is naija poorest winger this season

You where here crying about shehu making the list but supporting onyekuru who has been a poor player

You are a very dirty and useless hypocrite

Same moses Simon I do use to bash here ? Maybe you have been blind

You can’t even compare moses Simon form to onyekuru own ,he has been better than him for both club and country

I don't know about country because Onyekuru has not seen much minutes.

God bless you bro. I wish all Igbos would be like you. Ikwerre man doesn't want any association with Igbo.
We are Ikwerre also known as Iwhurnohna. Very proud of our heritage.

But , we have posited we dont want you and there is nothing noteworthy about your heritage. We dont want you and that has been repeated here on Nairaland for years but you like attention, which threads like this brings to you.

chrisxxx:
There is one problem most you Igbo people have not come to term with. The Ikwerre people of which I am one understand this more than the Igbo people. Igbo people like brotherhood. This is true. Once you speak bia they see you as their own. The Ikwerre people like Igbo people. I like them. Wike likes them as well as Amaechi. My grand maternal mother was from Umuahia. My great grand paternal grandmother was from Orodo. This should be in Imo State. The bone of contention we have with you people is when you guys come to wear us the robe that we are Igbos. You can't tell me who I am. There was never a time we were Igbos. Our distinctions are so wide and broad.
We are brothers. Neither Wike nor Amaechi would deny this. But they will deny it when you call them Igbo. You have seen my Igbo roots above. If by tomorrow I decide to dress like Igbo man it doesn't make all Ikwerre Igbos. You guys should understand this. If you guys are sensible as you guys claimed to be you would have called for a Union of Igbo, Ikwerre and other related group just as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Your brother is not you. Of course someone would see a similarity between you and your brother. That's the relationship between the Ikwerres and Igbos as well as Etche, Ekpeye and Ogba. Even with the similarities of language and culture we have with the Etche people we never call them Ikwerre. Even when people say Etche is Ikwerre we say no we are brothers. You guys need to come to term with this. I come in peace.

Let me just shed some lights in some areas I think there is a bit of confusion , in translation ; I think some persons from Ikwerre , Ika and other Igboid groups that claim distinction fail to understand the concept of ethnicity and tribe. Igbo is not a tribe because it is an umbrella name for bia speaking people , who inhabit the Niger Delta hinterland and coastal areas.

Ikwerre is classified as an Igbo dialect, based on its similarities with other Igbo dialects of close proximity to them. Now , if for political expediency you decides to proclaim a new identity , with all means , go ahead. But , let your rhetoric remain unchanged. Don't become an Igbo when it suits you.

Talking about some sstupid "distinction" , every Igbo clan has prevalent uniqueness that sets them apart , sharply from other clans. The Onicha man , Aguleri , Nnewi and Awka man has different social perception that mirrors real life scenarios.

The Onicha man is very educated , cultural and very exposed.

The Aguleri man has rich culture , agriculture , riverine settlement and life (Olu-Igbo) , but not as educated as Onicha man.

The Nnewi man is a shrewd businessman but not as cultured as the Aguleri man.


The Awka man is very educated , great culture and rich but not as aristocratic as Onicha.

You see , these are all different Igbo clans that obviously bore different characteristics both in behavior and profession. Mind you these clans are all found in Anambra , with some Umuezechima of Onicha domicile in Delta State. I just want you to unclog your intelligence , and see how unintelligent you Ikwerre people sound , whenever you make an attempt to argue this issue.

There is nothing special about you ; you are not the most educated pre and post colonial , you are not rich , you are not rich in culture , you don't have the classiest dialect , you use to think you have oil , until the latest developments. Stop thinking too important of yourselves , just because some of these ignorant Igbo is giving you attention.

You retelling these stale lines "there was never a time we were Igbo" , because you are ignorant of Igbo history and Igbo Union. When the white man arrived , everybody went by the name of their clan , and nobody trusted anybody. The Igbo identity , as we know it today was nurtured by the colonial government. Before that all man was by themselves.

You have no choice but to come into the Igbo fold or get swallowed up , there are no two ways about it. You can keep playing the ostrich and carry on as if you are invisible, when the storm hits na all of una! You think you are deceivin Igbo people but our youths are learning very fast.

You can see from everything u said and I wish you could tell others that Ikwerre has no tie with Igbos. As far as you agree to this I agree with everything you have said about Ikwerre people.
Nigerians know what Igbos are known for.

Oga, take this from me , on behalf of most Igbo , both on Nairaland and on the streets of Nigeria; the Igbo care very little about Ikwerre and their double-dealing , two-faced and double-tongued character.

Today , Wike is not Igbo and would extend his bitterness and hatred to any Rivers man who claimed Igbo ; but the same unreliable Wike that denied Igbo on national television is walking around adorned in the most sacred Igbo traditional item.

Just because we see you share so much with the rest of Igboid people , and found it necessary to extend a hand of brotherhood , but you turn around to abuse Ndigbo.

What exactly do you think we will be needing from you....coastline ? Oil ? Fertile land ? What is wrong with you Ikwerre people sef ? You need us more desperately than we need you.


Today , Amaechi is no longer "Ikwerre", rather , he walk around in Igbo attire proclaiming allegiance to Igbo , while Wike has toned down his rhetoric and started dressing like Igbo....the same Igbo you despise and gloat over it.

I feel so sorry for all you enemies of Ndigbo because your reward will be catastrophic!
