Captain8:
oya go and tell ndoki people to denounced their Ijawness na

I want facts that shows they have stopped being Igbo....facts my Nigga not hearsay!

I am still waiting for you to give the meaning of Wabara.

Idiko1:
Your guess is as good as mine. Only dumbass bunkers think unique people on earth cause chaos everywhere they have been. In the neck of my wood, the people with structured thought process seemed to love Igbo people. Names have been change to the unique and meaningful names of Igbo.

If the Igbo aren't highly intelligent then we wouldn't be well travelled all over the world and achieved great success and still maintain good relationship with our host communities.

WorWorBoy:
Umu Okrika is found in imo state mbaise if i'm not mistaken, translated to English which means children of Okrika(how they get there is a discussion for another day). There's nothing like Umu Okrika in Rivers state, what we have here is Okrika.
As for the names, Okrika people don't bear Azumiri, Utazi as etc names, rather we bear names like Boma, Nengi, Belema, Tonye, Tamuno and so on.
Any Okrikan bearing igbo names have igbo root (maybe his or her mother or father is from igbo), as Okrikans don't bear igbo names to begin with.

What is the origin of Okrika and socio-political structure prior colonial.

WorWorBoy:
So you mean i'm igbo? Waiting i no go read for here.

Read his text again....lmao

Captain8:
i dont know who is Adolphus Wabara, but that name wabara is an Ijaw name....... in my western dialect we said wobara....... wabara is a pure Ijaw name

Cc.Captain8

Sorry , Wabara has no meaning in Ijaw. I am from far away Anambra and I know the meaning because I have seen a variant of the name.

I have noticed something synonymous with you Ijaws on Nairaland; you never argue with facts , but usually resort to name calling. Why cant you lots present facts to the argument ? Is it because you know you are totally wrong and just chasing shadows.

I am not too conversant with the region is discuss but from paying attention and reading many aged texts centered around the region I apply the principles of migration, which clearly shows (and any discerning mind can see this) that the area in question covering Ngwa , Ndoki and Ibani/Opobo are chiefly inhabited by the same Igbo stock with trickling Ijaw migration who have been absorbed by the majority Igbo group.

Using a related scenario in the case of Agbor or Ukwuani ; the place is primarily inhabited by Igbo with very minor Bini migrants and influence from the Bini kingdom but , nevertheless , these towns speak Igbo. You can imagine how the Bini themselves feel when suddenly an Agbor man starts claiming he is from Bini kingdom yet the Bini see no similarity in both culture.

Now, let me spell out how this is going to go down because I dont do bullsshit. You Ijaw will never win against the Igbo , be it in intelligence , wealth , population or politics. There is a growing Igbo consciousness that has never been witnessed before and these current Igbo youths are brutal and blunt....they will take everything including the one you thought belong to you...if you push them.

You and I know very well Ndoki is not in any way related Ijaw which makes me wonder why you continue to bother yourself over something you have no control over.

One of you claimed Etche aren't Igbo but my first time of meeting an Etche man was in the U.S and they surprisingly claimed they are Igbo...I didnt even expect it because I thought all these people "hate" Igbo like the Ikwerre claim on Nairaland.

TheSuperNerd:
See the issue here my dear Idennaa.

You speak good of Nwakali's talents (and I also share your views on Nwakali for the most parts because he still got the class) but absolutely talk down on Ndidi who happens to be our best and most elite midfielder today. That is the problem.

So ofcos, others reading your assessment of the two lads will conclude you are overhyping Nwakali and underrating Ndidi.

Folks here will always view your view on Ndidi through the lens of how much in love you are with Nwakali. I bet you most folks here cannot wrap their head around why you think Ndidi is so average. It's a shocker to most.

People hasty assumptions shouldn't be my problem. The inability of any person to make simple reading comprehension thereby arriving at unsubstantiated conclusion should be there own headache not mine. And I know what you mean by these witless eidiots here who write these nonsense but why must you join the bandwagon. Why are you listening to intellectual lepers like charlesemeka ??

TheSuperNerd:
Are you classing me with Idennaa??


Anyway, you still haven't answered my question. How many games of his did you even watch last season?

Now , you are crossing the line. I never hyped Nwakali , rather , I make bold of his talent and abilities...I never overrated Nwakali on this thread. I am constantly talking about him because when I look around its only Nwakali who could readily fill the creative role SE desperately need....thats why I bring him up often.

andrew444:
Well you won’t blame emeka for saying he is hyped as there is nothing wrong in hyping our own

He did well on his last loan at the segunda sha

Let’s see how this season will go for him

Unbelievable, coming from a sworn Nwakali antagonist.

I said it here before; onu kwulu njo ga ekwu mma!

TheSuperNerd:
Mister man. Nwakali is not hyped here. It is facts being put on the table. I have dropped his stats from last season here and it shows how improved he is now even from a defensive standpoint. But you won't see that one.

Was it not you who said you were not even sure if he will get game time for Huesca when La liga smartbank begins? Yet he played their first game. He was even made captain in their last Preseason game. But all you do is speak from past knowledge of the lad.

How many games of his did you you watch last season? How many?

Ouch!

TheSuperNerd:
I have even extensively explained times upon times here how good Ndidi is and how improved he has become in the last 3 seasons. Even in the Partey vs Ndidi debate, I did enough justice.

Dude is no more just an elite tackling machine. He is much more now... a much improved well rounded Midfield player.

It's a pity some still don't rate him. Especially my good man, Idennaa. The thing tire me no be small. You rate Nwakali but you don't rate Ndidi. E get as e be. I rate both players but it is also a fact that Ndidi is levels above Nwakali. Nwakali is just making his way back strongly after 3-4 generally average/mediocre seasons (+ an inactive year) whereas Ndidi has been doing this super consistently and madly improving in the last 5 years!!!

Even Elyte89 wey you quote no too rate Ndidi like that. Ask am. I believe he won't deny it.


I am Pro-Nwakali and also Pro-Ndidi but slandering Ndidi while hyping Nwakali is a big no for me. Both are ballers but one has been a baller for a much longer and super consistent period and deserves respect in here.

SuperNerd , I underrated Ndidi because he doesn't have the ball playing abilities I admire in a player. Meanwhile, I never compare Ndidi to Nwakali strictly because they play different roles. Nwakali is a central playmaker who can also man the AM very comfortably and make you drool with his beautiful deft touches. Ndidi , on the other hand is mostly a combative DM with little confidence on the ball.

TheSuperNerd:
And explain to me why you have always been okay with Ejaria being among our midfield options despite him balling in the Championship while you want Nwakali to first take Huesca to La Liga before we give him a mention here.

Is that not hypocritical?

Its called selective amnesia....haha. These persons hate Nwakali just because some people fancy him. smh

BascoVanVeli:
Video of Leicester City preparing their pitch for the season.

This looks really expensive. We are so behind. No wonder we are resorting to synthetic pitch

Ppogbae:
You've put it very well Sir. I would like for him to have a strong season so he can go to the World Cup (God willing we make it) with us. It's my wish that he captains our team at Qatar.

Na you and your village people Musa go carry go world cup...Chukwu aju!

Danielnino00:
Again, it won't matter how many talents we have if the manager doesn't know how well to utilise them...

Cc. Danielnino00

I guess we can all agree we desperately need a new tactician....An African like Amunike or Oliseh.

solonnachi:
Dennis, Moffi, Osimhen, Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Onuachu will all give Rohr selection headache. I love it...

As if the crappy whitey isn't confused and incompetent enough. Now , you will see the real clueless in display.

Oldboss:
you have start with this your street analysis again

Call it whatever you like , after all , it's your danm opinion. All you can do is get really pissed and have a very bad day....lmao

lloydtruth:
Ahmed Musa starts for his new club in Turkey.

So that he can come back to super eagles and continue out running the ball ?

charlesemeka85:
shut up and go bck to watching volley ball

Go back and keep feeding on faeces , you degenerate bbasttard !!

Stop replying me , inferior wannker !

DefHQ:
Awoniyi is back.. The confidence to score that belter of a goal..OMG!!

Awoniyi certainly has more technical abilities than Osimhen.

Ppogbae:
Awoniyi goal vs Leverkusen...

Naija born blood , so beautiful when there is a level playing ground!

JayromWrites:
Probably I watched a different game

But I stand by my initial post, from today's game, he isn't fit to be in the same sentence with Ndidi


Yeah,it's early days and I believe he will get better, but I wasn't marvelled by what I saw today


Q.E.D

What is so special about what Ndidi brings to the national team. Are you watching a different Ndidi ? Ndidi can be easily replaced in the SE.

Danielnino00:
Bold of you to mention Ndidi..

Isn't it shocking to know that the "best" DM in England has no single offer table for him??

jargooflife912:
Nobody want him to fail but he has not fulfilled the potential we all know he has we all have high hope for him

Has Iwobi and Aina with all the playing time they have had fulfilled the expectation you have for them? Has Ndidi with all the playing time fulfilled it ?

TheSuperNerd:
Kelechi Nwakali starts and dorns the new #8 shirt for his side, Huesca in the opening fixture of La Liga Smartbank 21/22.

Kevin Carlos Benjamin Omoruyi starts from the bench for Huesca.

Huesca vs Eibar kicks off in 48mins.

This news is going to give some persons here heartattack.....lol. They want him to fail so badly...ndi uchu!

Soar like eagle , Nwakali!

Emmanuel Ekong (19) has been promoted to the first team of Serie A side, Empoli after impressing in their Primavera title winning season.
The Tuscan club beat Atalanta 5-3 in the Primavera final and Ekong scored twice.
He is the Son of former Nigeria Int'l, Ikpe Ekong.
He played his first senior game on Saturday in a 1-0 loss to Udinese in a preseason friendly.
After the Primavera final, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus enquired about the strong and very mobile Nigeria born striker who has already turned out for Sweden U-18 National team.
#watchout for this prodigy.

Chidozie George.

chrisooblog:
Maybe calling Henry's actions stupid was a bit harsh but Onyekuru should have done research on the club he is joining and modify his behavior accordingly.

First impressions matter a lot. To you and me dyeing your hair color is no big deal but to Olympiacos fans it might be more serious. Remember how Man U fans some seasons back gave Pogba grief for changing his hair color blue before a derby game against Man City so it's not unheard off. Henry should just make sure his football does the talking for him positively.

Henry Onyekuru is a very confident player with some flamboyancy to go with. What can I say , he basically telling y'all who care that he is here and you better acknowledge him because he will shine ! Okocha was like that, too.

zuchyblink:
Ndidi's problem is that he was born in Nigeria. His age is in doubt

Disagreed. Tell yourself the truth. We can agree Nacho was kept on the bench for a while probably because he was African , but Ndidi had played every minute of the season yet no offers.

humility33:
Then how come he is been passed by this elite clubs in this window
If he was a European or English i am so sure he would have been chased by big teams by now that's what I mean

Why are we acting like we don't know why top clubs aren't interested in Ndidi....at least , we know he is no Kante. If I was a coach I will not invest in Ndidi.

Karlovych:
A Pan-Africanist with only one African amongst his heroes, the other 3 are Americans and a Jamaican. Whether you like it or not players good enough to represent Nigeria will always be approached and called up regardless of their place of birth

I forgot Patrice Lumunba. By the way , if you are familiar with the ideologies of the the black Americans I listed then you wouldn't be questioning my stance. They see themselves primarily as Africans....like Bob Marley.

TheLoneCitizen:
It's good you clarified this, these "foreign borns" are just Nigerians with foreign passports.

But then you went ahead to say absorbing their country of birth's idiosyncrasies makes them unnigerian.

Brother this is football, not a political position. Why do they need to identify with Nigerians to kick a ball about?

Does Osimhen identify with the Italians? No. But he plays in Italy.
Does Ejuke identify with the Russians? No. But he plays in Russia.
Does Onyekuru identify with the Greeks? No. But he plays in Greece.

Football is a language on its own, just play with your legs and forget the language, skin colour or nationality.

Secondly, you brought the case that so-called "foreign borns" are luxury additions and do not improve the Super Eagles anyway, but I disagree on two fronts.

1. All of the foreign-born players brought into the Super Eagles in the last 3 years have significantly improved their respective positions.

Goalkeeping. (Okoye - Currently most Valuable young goalie in Netherlands)

Defense. (Balogun, Ekong - Both play at the highest level)

Right-back. (Ebuhehi - rated as our best fullback by many on this thread)

Central Midfield. - Aribo - Scored more international goals than any Nigerian CM in the past 4 years.

Attacking Midfield/Winger - Iwobi(Lagos born) - Since his debut in 2015, only Ighalo has scored more international goals.

Striker - None

2. The so-called foreign borns have not taken us to the next level only because we have chosen those that match our mediocrity rather than the best.

The real Nigerian talents born with dual nationalities have always slipped our grasps while we are left with the crumbs.

Look at the case of Iwobi, we had to cap him before he even made his club debut, so as to scupper any English poaching.

If you really doubt the quality of foreign borns, tell the house if you think players like Adeyemi, Madueke, Saka, Dele, Danjuma, Eze, Tammy etc, would not increase the standard of the Super Eagles.

Without mincing words I want you to understand from this juncture that I am a very strong Pan Africanist , who believe that we must put Africa first in everything we do. If my heroes are persons like Thomas Sankara , Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey and Louis Farakhan then you should save yourselves the headache of engaging me. I am so deeply African its unbelievable!

Now , to address this thing you wrote: I still don't understand your Osimhen and co examples.... What exactly are you trying to prove. Osimhen is a gifted Nigerian player who was contracted by Napoli. I am confused; what is the lesson ?

I still maintain my position on the foreign born. They add nothing to SE , rather they are using us to sell themselves to European clubs while our own are languishing in the Europe third world countries. Balogun , Ekong , Ebuehi and Aina has benefited from playing for SE, yet they havent won even a plastic cup. Aribo is over hyped by ROHR and has not added anything to the team...Nwakali is miles ahead of him. Iwobi is still learning how to play a 10 since he started playing for us. He can be easily replaced....he isn't better that Onyekuru.

These foreign born use us as last resort...and that's shameful. They will never touch a Nigerian woman with a long pole, they do not invest in Nigeria and will never return home. So, whats the point ? I am sorry , but I will not apologize for thinking highly of my mothers land.

You want to rush and cap players in europe academies while we have talents littered across Nigeria who are a million times better than these crappy English boys.


But , you write a lot of senseless shiiit ooo....did you say we refused to get the best FB and settled for mediocre. You must not have been following recent happening....Abraham rejected Nigeria and mocked us openly , Saka rejected Nigeria , Eze rejected us , Torunarigha rejected us...No high flying foreign born will ever agree to play for Nigeria. They mostly marry oyibo or mixed....these ppunks feel our women are inferior !

JohnBullMySon:
About 20 years spent in a first world country. Had a world class education. Age nothing less than 45. And yet, he stills reasons like a toddler with a small brain

It's so scary and disturbing because this is how someone of his age actually looks like.

Emotion laden post that is bereft of logic and reason. America taught me how to be a black African and be danm proud of it. By the way I am much younger than 45yrs and that guy look more handsome and distinguished..lol...but thanks for the flattery.

kentebemoney:
Truth is, we don't have to play with a number 10.
4-3-3, 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 3-1-3-3. This are options we can use

Since you started experimenting with alternative formation how far have you gone ?
