First of all, lf Ighalo wanted to continue playing in the EPL he would, maybe not neccesarily with Manchester United.

Ighalo has nothing to prove, he has decided to follow the €€€£££$$$ thats his choice.

None of the current set of strikers in the SE have surpassed his achievements and indeed may never and that includes Osimhen.

So please let's give respect to whom respect is due.

It seem you are God and you know what the future hold for us all, because i wonder how you confidently use this word ''may never'' .

Osimhen has five goals in ten appearance while ighalo has 16 in 35 appearance with this speed in two to three years i see osimhen beating ighalo record.

If you want to use the afcon as a criteria to judge osimhen he's already among the top scorers if am not mistaking with another two rounds of match's remaining.

Aina, Ebuehi or Ehizibue? Suddenly, Rohr has options at right-back for Super Eagles


Solace Chukwu





From feast to famine: suddenly, the German coach has a number of excellent options to choose from in a long-time problem position
That old saying about ketchup – tap and tap, and then it all comes out in one plop – encapsulates perfectly the sudden boom in option for Nigeria at right-back.


It was not very long ago that Gernot Rohr was forced to use Abdullahi Shehu (a defensive midfielder) and Chidozie Awaziem (a hard-tackling centre-back) in that position, ostensibly as a function of scarcity. Both contributed solid but unspectacular performances: undermined by their varying levels of discomfort at playing away from their preferred stations, but steady enough that they did not constitute liabilities.


However, if modern football teaches anything, it is the necessity of utilizing space and time when you can get it, and invariably full-backs are key in this regard, both during build-up and in attack.
Editors' Picks


Without natural options, the Super Eagles have lacked proper width and overloads when it has most mattered: in their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final defeat to Algeria, for instance, when their North African rivals efficiently shut down Nigeria’s attack by simply manacling Ahmed Musa and Samuel Chukwueze.


It is a need that is made even more urgent when one considers that, for the most part, Nigeria lacks reliable ball progression through the middle of the pitch.


Wilfred Ndidi is many things (some might even say he is many people), but he cannot be tasked with moving the ball into the final third, and neither can the likes of Oghenekaro Etebo, Semi Ajayi and Frank Onyeka, all of whom have at various times been utilized at the heart of the midfield.


In the absence of a player in that mould, the unexpected proliferation of options – not just fit but in form – is a very welcome surprise. All of Ola Aina, Tyronne Ebuehi and Kingsley Ehizibue are playing at solid levels in terms of performance, and all bring different strengths to the table.


Of the lot, Aina is the most versatile, capable of playing not just at right-back, but at left-back and in midfield as well. Technically, he is also the most accomplished, and has displayed an impressive range of passing at Fulham, where he is on loan from Torino.


The Chelsea youth product has mostly been used on the right of a back three at Craven Cottage, however.


From that position, he progresses the ball cleanly, either out to the wing-back on his side, or by playing extravagant switches to the opposite flank. Aina also carries the ball forward when in space, and is often encouraged to make off-the-ball runs into the channel inside the right wing-back, either to offer support to the man in possession or to whip in angled deliveries.
Unlike the other two, Aina has consistently been a part of Super Eagles squads for the past two years. He has, however, struggled to win Rohr’s trust definitively, in part due to his occasional levity and lapses in concentration.


Ebuehi inhabits the other side of that coin: there is evidence that Rohr trusts him, but a nightmare two-year period, during which he was held back by injury, has kept him out of the national team picture for much of the German’s time at the helm.


The Dutch-born full-back burst onto the scene on the eve of the 2018 World Cup, and made such a profound impact that he made the squad to Russia. On loan at Twente this season, he finally appears to have put his injury hell behind him, and has been one of the more impressive performers for the European chasers.
Ebuehi’s goal at the weekend – his first of the season – helped the Enschede-based club to a deserved draw against Feyenoord. The performance as a whole though perfectly summed him up as a player: he is tidy in possession (his 83 percent pass-completion rate for the season eclipses the other two), clean in his process and decision-making, and capable of getting forward when the occasion requires. In a word: balanced.


He is less explosive than the other two, but is the most positionally astute and can most handle himself defensively. He will overlap, but will not do so willy-nilly.


Ehizibue is very much of an attacking slant, and is minded to bomb forward.
The Koln man seemed to have fallen out of favour with the Billy Goats between mid-October and early January, but has reasserted himself to aid the club’s fight against relegation.
A notable plus for the 25-year-old is his elite-level speed – back in May 2020, he was clocked at 35.85km/hr, the third-fastest sprint time in Bundesliga history.


Perhaps as a consequence of having played as a winger earlier in his career, his defensive instincts are not quite as sharp as Ebuehi’s or Aina’s: he is an attacking threat first and foremost, and the best crosser of the three with 0.5 crosses attempted per 90 and a 29 percent success rate, both higher than the other two have managed this term.


Not to say he is a poor defender, of course; just that he is perhaps not as positionally reliable, and spends less time mucking about with defensive duties.


Which of the three Rohr elects to go with would depend a great deal on who is playing ahead of them on the right of the attack.


If, as has been the case in recent times, Chukwueze remains first-choice, that would seem to favour either Ebuehi or Ehizibue more. The Villarreal man is not the most conscientious when it comes to fulfilling his defensive responsibilities, and so it would be important to select a right-back who can hold his own without needing support.


However, who he picks is perhaps of secondary importance. More pertinently, for the first time since he took charge of the national team, Rohr has enough options to choose from that he can afford to think in tactical terms. That, in itself, is a clear win. https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/aina-ebuehi-or-ehizibue-suddenly-rohr-has-options-at-right/7rgtzuko08dg1j6u60umbrmwl

2. I don't know when i can take her for scan, i discuss it with her and she said she is scared of the scan.

Any idea i will appreciate.

Wow! Let me share this,

Back then in school, 100 level to be precise, we are like five good friends moving together as friends we normally go to each other house to eat. Seriously i think we were good friends until i foolishly told one of them to join me in my hostel

Four of us were leaving off camp why he was leaving school hostel, i thought i was doing the right thing until we started having issue over minor things like who will watch plate and who'll cook , i became fed up then i decide to move to self contain so one of our course mate told me about vacancy in his hostel.

He connected me to the caretaker then i paid for a year, then he pleaded with me for him to stay with me for two weeks before he sort his rent problem, because he was hanging out with two other guys in the hostel

This my course mate is even worst than my friend, this one will eat morning afternoon and evening leave plate for me to wash in fact i was the one feeding him,he stayed for six weeks before I beg him to leave it almost lead to fight before he manage to leave still yet he still come to my house to eat once a day.


Where he park to he could not stay there he ran back to the hostel, the last straw that break the camel back was when i cook oil rice and i refuse to give him,i did not even allow him to enter my house he wanted to enter my room i push him away he became angry and walk away. After some weeks he started spoiling my name calling me gay i don't have a girl friend, that am a thief a witch there is no name he did not call me so i confronted him and we fought.

Is been seven years na since we graduated we are still not in good terms, he told one of my close friend to speak to me, i just told my friend that if coincidentally we meet one day surely we will greet each other but apart from that i dont want him close to me, he still went ahead to send me friend request which i snob.

For me, i prefer helping people from afar.

This one na yoruba comedian that is known only by his people

If you think comedians are the ones you are hoping on to liberate a complex nation like this, then you are not in touch with reality.

Even through his wack comedy he is not propagating any message of hope and value to the youths

Where is #EDOPIKIN?

Wonderful! am amaze, how a complete man with acute knowledge on how to liberate Nigeria from his mess refuse to step forward and do that is bedeveling

Who know mr macaroni? if not for his wack comedy i don't think any body will know him, with the little publicity he has gain with his wack comedy he has drawn attention of the world to the injustice going on in Nigeria.

andrewbaba44:
Osimhen onauchu and simmy should be our 3 strikers for next game

I will be glad if rohr can leave osimhen out of our next game so he can settle at Napoli

When was the last time osimhen had a bad game for the Super eagles? Rohr should consider team chemistry first before anything.

CalmElder:
No be lie.
But you see friends ehn, some of them actually enjoy the "see finish" that you get from ladies, when you are acting under pressure.
A lady will be showing you pepper, your "friends" will be enjoying the show.

The "see finish", is one part that has really put me into emotional trauma, i can't lie have not recover fully.

There is this girl that i met where i wanted to buy sand for my project. I took her digit, so we have been communicating for close to six months, i really like her and i base in the north my intention was when i come back to the south i will propose to her and organise a little introduction , and see if she can join me.

So when i got to the south i invited her to come my place after i have visited her even meet her mom in her place. O boy the Next morning i called her to come to my place the words I heard was I nor dey fear any body me nor dey fear anybody oo.

Then after, she say she will still come because we already agree that she will come by 10 from that ten i waited till one before the idiot came. I've already lost hope of her coming before i saw her call, so i called my kid brother to pick her up, on getting back to the house because i went to the bank to do some transactions i meet her in our family house.

After a little exchange of pleasantries, i propose to her i told her about how I wish to take her to the north then after completing my house we will come back, the next thing that came out of her mouth is that I don't know how to talk. She said that is how there marry her sister to Benin, people that married her could not take care of her and she started using rubber thread to do her hair. Then she started shouting that "if you marry woman make you dey listen to the woman " continuously then i ask her to retract the statement and the fool did then i ask her how she feels.

She was just shouting anyhow, and to think that some of our tenant was outside even my two kid brothers were hearing our conversations. Although i'm married now getting to a year i still think about that scenario and I feel depressed and get angry.

The point that made me share this story is that i was ready to take anything as a wife because the pressure from my mum and most especially my dad was just too much.

CalmElder:
I'm 42 years old and very single.
On my 30th birthday, I woke up depressed that I'm still single.
Because I was desperate to marry before 30, which I thought is old, I became desperate and women showed me shege, used my head like mad. I learnt my lesson and calmed down, gave myself time, then started another relationship at 34, ashawo better pass that one (she was 38).
I ended the relationship at 36.
I'm now focused on growing my business.
I intend to marry at 44.
If I like, I will not marry sef.

Not criticizing you, but i think i experience what you pass through, most especially when you are approaching 30 to 31 is not easy the pressure from family and friends.

jihday:
It's not, there are exceptions. Dele Alli joined Tottenham from a league 1 side and immediately became a starter. Some players are that good

Did he made the England team when he was in league one? The way some of you under rate the national team is as if we are some small useless country.

Instead of inviting players from league one we should just come back home to the NPFL.

I'm i the only one that is tired of reading American Politices, we have been slaved and now we are independence. Lets talk about how to move our country forward.

I'll like people to correct me please, is this how the Americans talk about us like killing there self everyday because of nigeria. Using deragotary word using curse word or abusing each other. because am tired of seeing my fellow citizen fighting each other because of american politices.

We already seen akwa ibom taken good care of different fleet of planes and running is own airline, i don't think states building trains station should be a problem most especially states in the niger delta.
