Na by player dem take dey win tournament?

I was replying to a specific poster disputing the fact that Senegal has players.

fabyom:
Which player Senegal get? I don't rate Morrocco and Senegal.
Watch out for Nigeria, Ivory coast, Cameroon and Egypt.

chrisooblog:
good squad although most of them were at the last AFCON so they are not invincible

Senegal has had good players in the last 5 years but bad team. They did poorly in last AFCON and WC with same team.

They are looking like CIV's golden generation of Drogba, Toure brothers, Kalou, etc. They didn't win anything until Drogba and co quit.

But you will always rate them as one of favorites in pre-tournament rating because they have the quality.

fabyom:

Player for player, Senegal easily trumps Nigeria.

We don't have any player as big as Khalidou Koulibaly and Sadio Mane. Inter's Keita Balde is also highly rated.

See the clubs their players play and compare with ours.

SENEGAL SQUAD
Goalkeepers: Abdoulaye Diallo (Rennes, France), Alfred Gomis (Spal, Italy), Edouard Mendy (Reims, France)

Defenders: Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli, Italy), Moussa Wague (FC Barcelona, Spain), Pape Abdou Cisse (Olympiacos, Greece), Salif Sane (Schalke,Germany), Youssouf Sabaly (Bordeaux,France), Lamine Gassama (Goztepe, Turkey), Saliou Ciss (Valenciennes, France), Cheikhou Kouyate (Crystal Palace, England)

Midfielders: Alfred Ndiaye (Malaga, Spain), Santy Ngom (Nancy, France), Idrissa Gana Gueye (Everton, England), Keprin Diatta (Club Brugge, Belgium), Pape Alioune Ndiaye (Galatasaray, Turkey), Sidy Sarr (Lorient, France), Henri Saivet (Bursaspor, Turkey)

Forwards: Ismaila Sarr (Rennes, France), Keita Balde (Inter Milan, Italy), Mbye Niang (Rennes, France), Moussa Konate (Amiens, France), Mbaye Diagne (Galatasaray, Turkey), Sada Thioub (Nimes, France), Sadio Mane (Liverpool, England)

As for Morocco, I hope you know that 2 key members of the Ajax team are from Morocco. They also have players in Borrusia Dortmund, etc

chrisooblog:
midfield is their strongest point but attack is looking a bit weak with an old gyan and misfiring jordan ayew. i'm however not completely dismissing their chances based on their pedigree and history in recent AFCONs

Midfield is Ghana's traditional strong point, just as Nigeria tends to produce attackers (strikers & wingers) more.

Some of the best footballers in Ghanaian history (Abedi Pele, Essien, Appiah, Muntari, etc) were midfielders.

Compared to Ghana's team of old, this team is not strong, but Ghana's strength has always been that nationalistic fighting spirit on the field. Like Cameroun, their players are usually very committed, and take national team assignment very seriously. You see them wailing seriously after losing a match. Compared to our players who hardly cry when we lose an important match.

chrisooblog:
yeah awarded full points to algeria

Thanks God we had enough gap to still top the group after the 3 point deduction, otherwise, we would not have gone for that WC.

Truidstar:
Senegal and CIV have good players, but we have a team.

I know they also issues with team, but I don't think we have a team too.

andrew444:
When did Algeria win us ?

We won on the field, but because we fielded an ineligible player, we were awarded loss weeks later.

This was in the 2018 WC qualifiers.

Dannyxy:
let's discuss afcon...

In context of Africa, and the African nations cup, this Nigerian super eagles Team is the most solid side going to this nation cup in my opinion..

Quality almost all around , many people forget that ndidi did not even play Saturday's game...

That this Nigerian team would not make it to the finals, might just be a case of pure misfortune..

I tip Nigeria to win the afcon, I predict a final of Nigeria Vs morroco

Facts... This genort rorh super eagles has lost only two games to any african team..
Loss against South Africa and Algeria (board room loss, it was actually a draw)..

How is Nigeria more solid than Senegal, Morocco or even CIV?

andrew444:
Jordan ayew making Ghana 23 man squad after a poor season just 1 goal while majid waris with a better season than him being dropped

Apart from some midfielders from Seria A and Thomas partey ,the rest Ghanaians player are below average

A Senegalese can say this of Nigerian team too.

CookieLaVee:
and why is that please? Would they still be invited for interview even without writing the test?

Their own first stage, after screening their CV and qualifications, is interview.

darado:
O boy, i come to believe this Man (Suraj) now. Wallahi you are genuine insider. Your boy is loyal

I am not an insider in NNPC but I have worked in the industry for close to 12 years and I know the industry very well.

esmeralda1:
Please i would like to know if the test was also for experienced hire?
I don't know if they've sent invites for experienced hire.
Pls reply ASAP

The only people that did not write test are managerial cadre EH.

Burchester:
when will NNPC Interview Coaching hold in abuja

Actual interview dates will determine.

We had 5 batches in Lagos, one in Abuja and one in PH for the NLNG 2015 recruitment, and 3 in Lagos, 1 in Abuja for the last DPR recruitment.

A good number of the candidates we prepared are in those companies now.

irumole1975:
Suraj, tell these children the truth so they can have peace of mind and chase something better.

Guy, pls don't ever mention my name again.

I'm an optimist. Except a major event happens (eg split of NNPC via passage of PIGB, or change of NNPC GMD), this recruitment will be completed and people will get jobs by merit in this recruitment. I can vouch for that.

Don't ever bring me into that shit you're saying again pls. Otherwise, I will report you for ban here.

geektrovert:
Oga Jarus,

I'm sharing my details with you too. Abeg epp me give somebody na. You know say I dey loyal

Go and prepare for interview. I also have close friends chasing this NNPC job. I wish I could help anyone by receiving "details to give somebody".

By the way, a career firm I co-own, JARUSHUB, is organizing interview coaching for those that will be invited for interview, for a small fee.

I spoke with the PA to one of the COOs of NNPC yesterday and he confirmed the interview invite will be sent soon.

How soon, he doesn't know himself.

irumole1975:
People are still disturbing themselves over this NNPC stuffs. The job they've already shared. Even jarus know this, but he's not telling you anything. Continue ehhhn, the lord is ur strenght o

Pls don't bring my name into this kind of lowly talk.

badassdude:
@jarus

This question is actually funny, is it necessary one wears a suit for the interview, someone like me, I look awkward in it and I prefer wearing my native dress(a northerner).

From the discussions in the 2012 thread, northerners wore native dresses, so I will say it is in order.

Temitope009:
@ Jarus sir, I sent you a pm, kindly assist by replying for I need a proffesional advice from you. Please sir, I'll be expecting.
Best regards.

ok sir

Mandem101:
four midfielders and all this strikers? what happens with backup for injury?

Iwobi can play as a midfielder too.

Wingers like Musa and Chukwueze can also be counted as midfielders.

Femeto:
Senegal have only Mane

Are you joking?


One of the most highly rated defenders in the world, Koulibaly, is from Senegal. Man U and Juve are currently dangling $100m for the guy.

Have you also heard of Keita Balde formerly of Monaco, now of Inter?


Senegal has better player than Nigeria in every position. You want to compare our players who play in backwater teams with players that play for Inter

See the clubs Senegal squad members play for

safarigirl:
but never win

Let me see them make semis this year.

Guys, don't rule Ghana out. Those guys are fighters on the field.

They are not like our boys. They have a very good fighting spirit.

Yes, they have not won it since 1982, but Ghana will always be an issue in every AFCON.

Gbyms:
When you say ‘interviews’ I see you are swimming in the fallacy of hasty generalization. How many interviews have you been to or seen. Sigh! You are not worthy to put scrutiny on my hypothesis.

The guy is making more sense than you. If you're familiar with recruitment processes, you will know he is right.

safarigirl:
Ghana should be under Outside Chances, considering they are only good for marking register.

They consistently make semis

darkelf:
Nigeria will win...they must win....they betterrrrrrr winnnnnnn

I want Nigeria to win but I wont put money on Nigeria winning.

By the way, here are the prize monies:

1st- $4.5m
2nd - $2.5m
3rd & 4th (semi-finalists) - $2m
5th - 8th (quarter-finalists) - $800k

Noteworthy that the prize money for the AFCON winners is far less than what teams that were eliminated in the group stage at the last FIFA World Cup received ( $8m).

Here is my assessment of the chances of each of the teams (done this for the last 11 years)

FAVOURITES
-Egypt
-Senegal
-Morocco

OUTSIDE CHANCES
-Cameroun
-Nigeria
-Ghana
-CIV
-Algeria

FIGHTING CHANCES
Tunisia
Congo
Mali
Guinea
South Africa

NEVER-SAY-NEVER
- Angola
- Tanzania
- Zimbabwe
- Burundi

NO-HOPERS
-Benin
-Uganda
-Mauritania
-Madagascar
-Kenya
-Namibia
-Guinea Bissau

Now, on a personal level, which do I want to win?

1. Nigeria (for obvious reason)
2. Mali (they have been underachieving for long - mostly gets knocked out in semis)

Which do I think will win?
Morocco or Egypt

Senegal have very good individual players but not a great team.

Wow, Iheanacho dropped!

yunusaboto:
GUYS, what about medical screen? that i having typude and am scare.

What's typhude? Do you mean typhoid?

Typhoid is a non-issue. You wont be disqualified for typhoid.

simplebb:
This is quite serious.

I have had two appointment letters and both contained explicitly most, if not all of what was stated up there.

That's the expected standard as posted up there.
But then this is Nigeria, where deviation from the norm is the modus operandi.

You will get one very soon. Keep up the hope.

Private sector employment letters contain all salary information (salary and all allowances), it doesn't work like that in government companies - at least in DPR and NNPC that I know of. Upfront is housing allowance + other allowances (generally termed fringe benefits in the letter).

AAA593:
We are better than this Norway team. Our coach is the main problem

Better than Norway? Kidding, right?

Same Nigeria team that did not make a single through pass? Even short pass no dey reach target.

Joke of the century.

They were 10 times better than Nigeria.
