I don’t follow npfl but I know Taiwo never played for Enyimba

He actually signed for Enyimba but never played because this was during the U21 tournament. I think he signed right after the tourney and left for Europe before he could train with the Elephants.

Kog45:
Taye Taiwo played for Gabros of Newi and moved to Lobi star of Makurdi in one of the biggest transfer record in NPFL not Enyimba

I stand corrected, Sir.

ChrisKels:
Since this guy said he has been in the States for the past 15 years, with proof, you have been acting so insecure and intimidated like your cheap ego has been battered, hence you often resort to making unwarranted reference to the bolded at every given time. Dude are you sure you truly are what you wanted to make us believe you were? Like he said, you sound so much like a broken record and seem to be grasping at straws lately, just to stay relevant because you couldn't back up your jokes of claims with anything tangible

Fake ass nigga

I just ignored the post because I feel the negativity even when there is no need for it. Nigga is a sadist. Have you ever seen him made jokes or smile ?

soetanoreoluwa:
Npfl will still run their show but according to some source there is another deal for Npfl hope it works out though

A totally different league designed for only privately owned clubs ?

As of 2003 to 2005 Taye Taiwo's transfer from Lobi Stars to Enyimba FC broke record as one of the costliest transfer in the NPFL.

I just hope will hands off management of NPFL clubs. It's a disaster.

According to somebody here, Osimhen may not fit Napoli style of play

No , "Osimhen failed in Germany"

komekn:
I have seen misguided ignorance.

But this is beyond me, absolutely BIGOTED HYPOCRITICAL DOUBLE-STANDARD.

And you have the effrontery to give condemnation to players for choosing England over Nigeria and call them not Nigerian.

You amaze me.

It's like Ibori giving a lecture on the evils of corruption, it's absurd.

And then you say you have been living in Houston for 15 years, it's bewildering. .

Abeg, go siddon. You sound like a broken record. Your post induce headaches

RuggedSniper:
^^^Acculturation caused it and partly British rule. These people spoke their original languages/dialects... Then they became bilingual due to trading activities among the many ethnicities in that area of Delta North who used dialects of Ibo for communication. An Agbor (Ika) indigene from a royal lineage posted here on NL years back that it was during the British colonialism that the foreigners introduced Ibo language for education and religious instruction. She said they resisted the use of Ibo in their church by a priest instead of using the Ika language which has Edo and Iboid mix. The Olukunmis also speak a mix of Yoruba and Iboid mix in Ugbodu town and Ukwunzu town, with the later being more Ibonized. Eko Efun means "white chalk" in Olukunmi language or Ukwunzu in Ibo. Nduka Ugbade, the captain of the victorious 1985 China U-15 World Cup Team is from the Olukunmi town of Ugbodu in Aniocha North not far from Onicha Ugbo which has Bini and Nri migrations in some of the quarters. Hope this helps.

Dude , you have not a single healthy brain cells in your cranium. This post is so pathetic. The Delta Igbo has no single record of a lost language and Igbo are not empire builders that impose laws , culture and force in their subjects. Do you think you made any sense ?

Bang average left back chilwell has joined Chelsea and my ndidi is still there

I just pray good offers should come for him

The thing just Dey pain me

He is English , Oga. You dont expect them not to favor their products. What is wrong with you guys....chai !

Its called privilege, again.

Edopesin:
Rivers United also signed Ifeanyi Anaemena from Enyimba

Both players will earn something in the region of N1 million per month.

-

Anaemena is pure baller but these guys always move before the team could gell and starts playiny like a unit. I remember when Christian Obiozor was signed to Enyimba and there was a massive expectations next thing he was at Kano Pillars. A lethal striker !

Edopesin:
"I'm a winner, you don't expect me to come here and then sit on the bench."

- New Rivers United signing Theophilus Afelokhai.

Chai the massive L to Enyimba

Veteran legend , right there. One of best hands in the NPFL.

Na wetin Mourinho dey like be this

Congrats , little hommie. Your ancestors have been kind in keeping you away from the rettarded duo...lol

Maurinho go like am.
Another Mikel/Makelele loading for him
That marking will win Maurinho's (the defensive master) heart

Maurinho is going repress the little ball playing skills left in Ndidi just like he did with Mikel...Ndidi needs to work on his ball playing skills else he will stagnate and regress.

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has emerged as a summer transfer target for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Sport Witness, Spurs have taken information on Ndidi and believe that the Leicester City star is an affordable target.

The 23-year-old starred for the Foxes in recent campaigns and would likely prove a tricky target to attain for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Ndidi has also been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal.

The talented midfielder linked up with Leicester City from Belgian club KRC Genk in January 2017.

He has featured in 120 league games and scored six times.

You're a very useless and shameless dude who resort to insult others when they have contradictory views with youm
MR Idenna who is not devoid of rational plz sir kindly highlight how ejuke and onyekuru is better than the third highest assiter in the EPL (saka)
Am damn sure ya psychopath in the real life

With these comments I can get you banned for a week that's what separates my comment from yours....you don't have that wit and dexterity.

Some of Osimhen's words from his first press conference as a Napoli player: @CastelDiSangro


Osimhen: “Motivation is important for a young player like myself. The coach and the president made me feel at home straight away. Joining Napoli is a dream come true. It's a big step up for me to be here, and I want do well in this shirt”.

"I have a great relationship with the president and the coach and I've been shown a lot of love from the fans from the start."

"The standard is very high in training. I want to continue working hard and I can't wait to play."

“I admit being skeptical of the racism situation in this country, but then I visited Naples and my vision changed”. �

“The highest paid player at Napoli? Being here means that I have taken a big leap. I'm not interested in money. I intend to give my best (for Napoli).”

"What player am I? I define myself as a team player. Passion is fundamental for me, my mentality is based on never say never, everything is possible and the competition is always open. Napoli is a great club, it has great stars like Mertens, Koulibaly or Insigne."


“The cancellation of the championship in France? I continued to train at home. I then went back to see my father. How am i doing now? I'm not 100% fit, but I'm very close to it. I'll be 100% as soon as possible.”

“The advice I can give to young people in the suburbs is to never to give up. It's not easy, you have to work hard. I recommend never giving up on your dreams.”

“Joining Napoli is a dream come true. I've visited the city and the fans have given me a very warm welcome. With their support, I'm sure I can overcome anything”

“Entering the hearts of the fans with a goal against Juventus? Many Napoli fans wrote to me about it. I have every intention of helping my team, maybe even scoring against them (Juventus)!”

A young man with so much maturity and clarity of the challenges ahead. If you dont see the confidence that oozes out of this boy then I am sorry.

As at this time,if Nwakali was English,he would be playing in the EPL or championship..

If the likes of Ibe, Solanke,Shola Ameobi,etc could play in the premier league,what makes you think Nwakali won't??

England has produced a lot of crappy players over the years who have managed to get into premier league and championship teams,and u think Nwakali won't??

The Saka I watched last season is not better than Onyekuru or Ejuke. And if these two players were English they would be on every football fan lip. Thats called privilege . Saka might be considerably good but if he was Nigeria he would not be playing for Arsenal rather in obscure leagues in Europe. The English knows this but the likes Sheyishemba and Charles who are devoid of any rational reasoning would not get it. Shame!

Niggas got no chill. Abeg , I nobi Saka wey ignore go dey play with U21....lmao

komekn:
Would you like to put a wager on that.


To know not but to think that you know is more than ignorant. How many Nigerian origin players do you know in England, that makes you jump to this very misguided deduction.

Do you have dementia ?

komekn:
One thing that you really need to understand VERY CLEARLY.

Any young Africa origin player in England and Europe in general doing well does not need the Nigerian national team to progress his career.

However, for players born in Nigeria and playing in Nigeria they ABSOLUTELY NEED the national team to progress their careers. Playing youth football may be the big step to a fruitful career in Europe.

Eberechi Eze, l said this ages ago will play for Nigeria once he has settled his long term contract. Part of that process is creating value as a English national team prospect. That brings more value and interest in the short term.

The idea they will be after us is not exactly true. However, for the love of the Father land they will play for Nigeria.

That possibility is becoming more above board with Yobo in the process. And l see a lot more Nigeria origin players playing for Nigeria who are playing in England.

If Eberechi Eze becomes really good he will not play for Nigeria of England wanst him, period.

If I catch Onazi for Super Eagles na to just kick person for blokos be that...carpenta ancestor

TheSuperNerd:
I was confident in my suspicions yesterday and today I confirmed that it is so. Saka did ask to be left out of the senior squad. He asked for time. Nigeria too approached and he asked for time. He hasn't said yes to any of the senior sides. That's how things stand for now.

Nnaa , you know the truth. Saka will never turn England down if they approached him. You still would not if it were you. His parents will also advise him to stick with England.

For instance, I am hoping that my very athletic daughter does track and field and if God willing she comes good why would I let him run for Nigeria and regret it for the rest of her life while she can run for U.S and become instantly wealthy. Its common sense,right

TheSuperNerd:
Slaps hard how?

Haven't I already stated he revealed in a podcast with Onuoha he seems to prefer England over Nigeria now?

I don't think we should be surprised he was called up again for the U-21s. He chose them over us when we approached him last year. Simple. I think we should just leave Eze. Rohr only said he hopes so b'cos he loves to keep chances open but in actuality, we have moved on to other options available and likely to be available.

Dont do this, dear brother. You were sort confident according to your post this morning that Saka had asked Southgate to excuse him. In my mind , I knew it was unlikely and Saka doesnt have the balls. The English media will destroy him

TheSuperNerd:
I said his heart is with England for now. And I revealed part of his podcast chat with Onuoha showing that.

And yes, my info is correct as regards to Rohr's response hoping something can change but as things stand, Eze's heart is with England right now. He made his U-21 debut when he rejected the chance to turn out for us naa so he is expected to be called up again after a good season. The issue here is his senior decision and I think for now, Eze leans towards England.

I don't see how this contradicts anything I have been saying so far.

Nerdy, nwa mama, I know you meant well but its time to give up. I saw your post about Saka this morning and just smiled. I told you guys to leave these boys alone....they are not one of us even Iwobi. They all bow to the English crown if you know what I mean

mostob:
what you were implying here was that those English guys were only good (good..as in on the field kinda good)due to privileges and opportunities they enjoy.

No , that's is looking at it from one angle and don't tell me what I am "implying" because you are not in my head.

mostob:
Oga ..you are not sticking to the context of the argument.

How ?

You dont have to believe me but I can bet a billion 99.9% of these English born never dreamt of playing for Nigeria except in rare cases like Iwobi the crappy , Aribo and Ajayi. And if Ajayi was playing to football before we approached him he will ignore you and mock you join...lol. Dont forget the Abraham humiliation....lmao. Cold blooded !

mostob:
What will you now say about those English kids that enjoys the Almighty opportunities and privileges and couldn't still make it.

They still find themselves playing in decent league like with great pay and retirement while our best are languishing in obscure European leagues...daalu

andrewbaba44:
Nwakali will win the epl player of the year if he was English ?

Continue taking hard drugs

Even the English self Dey get wasted talent ,eg Ravel Morrison

You keep talking about drugs you will get another sentence and this time you will grow grey hairs in jail....lol

By the way , why did you ignore me when I bid you welcome on your return from jail ??

TheSuperNerd:
Chris. It is true we have options but having Saka will be another bonus too. It's not like we won't still be dangerous on the flanks without him but with him, we are assured of even stronger quality depth and his crossing weaponry.

And I have some news for you. With Eze's move to Crystal Palace close and probably almost done a close contact of mine got in touch with Rohr and asked about the possibility of Eze's switch to Nigeria. He asked b'cos we understand from previous narratives this is what Eze wanted to settle first (bagging an EPL move) before making a decision.

Rohr's reply was "We hope so".



Now that podcast with Nedum Onuoha I referred to that Ebere Eze had recently.

Look at part of what he said...

He said when he came to the Nigerian training camp, he thought " that is where he wanted to be" but after playing for the English youth team, he began to think that he might have regretted playing for Nigeria.

As Eze said this, Nedum Onuoha stopped him in his tracks and quickly corrected him not to use the word regret or say he would have regretted making an early decision to choose Nigeria. Onuoha told him that even he himself regrets not choosing Nigeria when the opportunity came and further implied that Eze should not make same mistake.

They said a lot. Onuoha just saved Eze's ass in that podcast bcoz he knows if Eze repeats it to the mainstream media, Naija media would jump on it and that would be the end of his chances with us. For now, it is clear the lad's heart is with England for now. Perhaps with time, he will have a change of heart. Maybe Onuoha's words will give him a tough rethink and maybe this EPL move will now see him arrive at a decision once and for all. I know we need more AM options but Eze must be willing too. If someone doesn't need us, then we don't need him too. But time will tell what his final decision will be.

We don't necessarily have to go through these humiliation to get an English reject to play for the Eagles. It's highly embarrassing. Nigeria is a soccer giant who have won more laurel in the world stage than England

andrewbaba44:
How many English players will impress with the opportunity given to saka ?

It's not about how many but the system that presents boundless opportunities even for the crappy ones among them. Our boys in Nigeria don't even have 1% of the opportunities these English born enjoy. If Nwakali was an English he may have won EPL player of the year by now.

Think about it for a moment
