Looks like Nigerian football teams perform whem they are not given chances before tournament.

21st century (2000 to date).

Where is Xavi?

He is a La Masia product.

His final ball is poor though.

You wonder how some players get good clubs, while some more talented players are stuck in backwater leagues.

Agents?

There is no way whatever he prays to will answer his prayers because he has refused to bring out those Fulani murderers he paid to stop killing people.


Meanwhile how many Hajj do you guys perform? I only see Lesser Hajj and not Greater hajj.

Hajj (once in a year, timed)

Umrah (interpreted in English as lesser hajj, can be performed anytime, many times, in a year, performed last month of Islamic calendar.).

News sound Greek. Ok, just joking.

I agree.

Driving on the streets of Lagos on a traffic-free Sunday evening is one of my favourite activities.

Double standard...you want to eat ur cake and wish u have it back...why not hold on the cake if u don't wish it goes too soon....hold on to the cake (remain in Anorthosis) or eat and feel the sweetness in it (leave for Burssaspor and earn more money)..pls

Wrong. I was happy I left my former company (career progress) but still has some emotional attachment to it for giving me opportunity to come of age.

Both can go together.

Can he take his political station if the Police arrest him in the future?

Just curious.

oyatz:
No, his uncle ,the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke was Governor between Jan02,1992- Nov17,1993 and Davido was born in 1992 but this picture was taken when he was about 6-8years I.e between 1998-2000.

Davido's father (Dr Adedeji Adeleke) has been rich since the early 1980s.Dr Deji Adeleke was the chairman of Pacific Marchant bank and Pacific insurance in the 1980s.He owns Adeleke University, Ede,Osun State.

Davido's younger uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke (the father of B-red and Shina) is the incumbent senator representing Osun west in the National Assembly.

Davido's grandfather,the Late Senator Raji Adeleke (Oshun senatorial district) was a Health professional and a trade unionist who later became a Senator between 1979-1983 and the arrow head of the movement for the creation of 'Oshun' State in the second republic National Assembly.

The governor uncle was probably the poorest of the siblings!

What of Gbegi Ojora?

Gbegi died of liver issue, not bike accident.

Corporate, please.

If you don't know Debola Williams, not anyone's fault.

hatedisplace:
Passing the test doesn't mean you can never be infected. The company need to repeat the test for their staff every now and then.

Big companies repeat the tests for all employees every 2-3 years, but they wont sack based on post-employment new infection.

Quite humble. Met him too in Paris and had a nice chat with him. Talked about the difficult group SE had in WCQs.

Told me he was on his way to his base in Bordeaux.

I wont be surprised if SR start oubliahing evidence e.g copy of the text sent by FFK to his family members.

A big thank you to all 39voters and members of this scintillating family. Twale to sir joseph1013 for this great concept. Let's rep GWG til Iwobi lifts the world cup as SE Captain. Despacito

Thanks for the newbie award o.

elyte89:
DT game against Spain showed d world DT dey re beatable after enjoying a long run of undefeated games

Exactly. That was the beginning of the end of Spain's golden era that culminated in their Germany 2014 embarrassment.

Goke7:
an onazi in the game against spain would have been a different story in the 2013 confed as France had to injure onazi before breaking through in the 2014 world cup

I dont think midfield was our problem in that game. It was attack.

Ideye, Akpala, Gambo etc were sub-par

Odunnu:
Happy New Year stranger

Hahahah. I can't believe this!.

You, Odunnu, quoting me on NL in 2018!


Welcome back.

Updated: Checked and saw that this is your first NL post in 5 years! Oya, shoot me message at the other end.

cescky:


Eto bia you node old?

Kudos, always fresh!

Same thing that came to my mind


Eto'o went to France 98 - 20 years ago!

Still looks like he is 28 years old.

Only Nigeria has had 4 different individuals as winners, I no hear Hayatou/ Francophone conspiracy then.

Mickael2:
I think the scoreline actually did, it was JUST 4-0, which shows that we played better than Tahiti for example

Lol.

3-0 actually.

But if you watched the game (or watch o youtube), you will kmow we had a good game. Our strikers were just not clinical. Mikel actually ruled the midfield.

safarigirl:
sometimes, slow and steady is a far wiser approach than fast and reckless.

I say the opposition should determine who plays between Onazi and Ogu....eg, I would start Onazi against Iceland

Makes sense...

I think "fast and reckless" cost us the game against Spain in 2013 Confeds. The scoreline didn't do justice to our performance in that game.

MetalJigsaw:
Seriously?

Yes, on twitter.

Liverpool fans are touting for Ndidi in their midfield.

oloriooko:
So you think all the matches hes scored for SE is comparable to the ones in the WC
And you are saying he should get stuck in the rot at his club cuz he has a permanent shirt in SE?
I hope you are aware we are not goung to ANC!

My point is clear.

Even if he continues to fail to score or even make team in LCFC, it doesn't stop him from making Nigerian squad to WC. His place is assured

He could, and might even consider moving in January, but even without that he is asure banker for our WC squad.

He's part of SE's top 10 players now.

oloriooko:
Leicester vs Huddlesfield
Vardy adsent due to injury and Puel prefers Slimani to Nacho and some people keep saying Nacho must go to the WC if he continues this way
The noy better finds loan to a club for regular play time
Anyway hes still young he can still play other WCs

But Nacho has been delivering for SE.


He didn't score EPL goal in 2017 but he scored for SE. Great performance against the Argies.


Nacho for Russia is a settled case. Not open fordebate at all.

Danycrusoe:
Thanks bro but the neglect they get is alarming.

I really wish we would reach the footballing levels of Germany, France and say Brazil soon where both our male and female teams at any level whatsoever will be feared, respected and regarded as favorites irrespective of form or the opposition.

We were close to that 1994 - 1998.

Mujtahida:
Honorable mention for newbies:Jarus, darkelf

Thanks guys. This thread is my NL Discovery of the Year 2017. Not aware of it before.

Happy to see that you guys successfully activated my failed attempts to have active discussions on Nigerian players since 2007/2008 when I gave up after many failed threads.

One guy, his username I can't recall, also did well by doing a thread on weekly performance of Nigerian players abroad some 4-5 years ago. He held on for 2 or 3 years before the thread also died.


European club football the culprit again.



You guys are too much. I salute your depth of knowledge of Nigerian footballer. I'm a learner here, especially on these Nigerian young foogballers in Engkand and Germany, some of whom I heard about for the first time on this thread.

I'm more of an established player person. Don't monitor upcoming so much.

I'm also as enthusiastic of African football as I am of Nigerian, hence my broader outlook here. I follow players from other African countries too. That is why my arguments are more pan-African than pan-Nigeria.

I know objectivity itself is subjective but I try to be objective in my analysis, one of the few Nigerians who don't believe Moses deserved a Top 3 spot in APOTY 2017.

We have a lot to discuss in 2018 - World Cup, AFCON qualifiers, CHAN etc.

I will try and keep up the Player Rating after SE matches which I have been doing since 2012.
