Tammy Abraham regrets the poor Decision of snubbing Nigerian national team.

�️ : "It looks really bad. A professional Footballer at my age should be getting regularly called for national duty . Having international Caps is very important for your career and CV. About Nigeria?.. Please let's burn the past. At young age we make a lot of mistakes, and when your level of thinking starts to develop to an adult level, it's already too late to rectify the past "

Don't know hw true this is

I'm almost sure it's not true

19 year old Kamaldeen Sulemana recently sealed a €15million move from nordajaelland to Stade Rennes.

he's Ghanaian boss man

forgiveness:
The bolded has explained what could be delaying the switch of those players in U.K.

But some people wan claim the players are at fault for the delay.

no way the English FA will be delaying Ejaria's switch

When people Dey vex say we no qualify Na so I keep quiet ,Na now I begin feel their pains

wasted generation of players

Will be watching some of the Olympic football games this morning

It’s so painful that I won’t be watching Nigeria

Imagine chukwueze osimhen awaziem mixed with our olympic squad

This one touch me

Napoli won't release Victor, e sure me die

Ppogbae:

It's Sahara reporters, so why are you shocked?

Toylove:
How did the Zambian women national team qualify for the Olympics, was it through that CAF quota system ?

Nope, they beat Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya, Cameroon

forgiveness:
They boycotted to protest against apartheid-era of South African government.

If the Athletes and footballers were not representing Nigeria under the government why didn’t they go represent Nigeria regardless of the government stance?

Weytin be this

Clint02:
Now I have this question to ask. Are the national sports teams playing for the government in power,or they are playing for the country Nigeria?

have you ever heard 'Abacha's team won the football Olympic gold medal in 96' ? Instead they say 'Nigeria won football Olympic gold medal in 96'

TheGoodJoe:
That is what the man is educating us on. They are a symbol of the State of Nigeria. If the Government is evil, playing shows they are endorsing it.

I never thought of it that way but from reflecting on it, if they succeed, Buhari gets to receive and host them. He gets to smile and gives us a speech of how their success is a reflection of his Government.....

It will have nothing to do with us.

My passport is a symbol of the state of Nigeria, so if I use it does it mean I'm endorsing buhari? If they win and buhari wants to meet anyone who have issues with buhari can opt out

TheGoodJoe:

I watched the video and I must say, I think the man was right.

Some might say he should not have taken it out on the ladies who just want to fly the flag and represent their country but the man made few salient points.

Football is now a global Force. If we paint that all is well in Nigeria, we do a great disservice to the hundreds dying everyday under the mayhem of the mismanagement of the current administration.

He is an old time footballer, he is letting us know that it is wrong for Nigerian youths to play for the country.

Flying the flag under and evil Government is the same thing as supporting them.

I never knew that but the man made his point clear. Protested in the way he knows how and maybe he might have started a change from another angle.

They aren't representing buhari or his government, they are representing Nigeria, they are representing you and I. FIFA have said several times that no politics or government interference with football. Buhari didn't appoint them neither did he appoint Pinick, so they don't have any business with Buhari

forgiveness:
Google

Lol,naso

humility33:
Leave them..let them keep shifting the goal post even though I know u are partly here to defend pinnick...but the kind of leadership we have right now in nigeria is the worst i have ever seen in my life....nepotism, impunity and gross recklessness at sway

Shifting goal post? How does it make sense that those girls are using public transport?

forgiveness:
Because NFF said so.

When and where? Please evidence that they said so

Danielnino00:
Shehu should have been dropped from the team since the world cup... Either that,or he should be moved to midfield completely..

became very clear at the world cup that he's not good enough for the RB role

chrisooblog:
As in. Let's see what the German Onigbinde will next use as an excuse with the availability of Alhassan Yusuf and Frank Onyeka. Ndidi should now finally have some decent competition.

I think you wanted to type backup

andrew444:
Dem go still call shehu and musa again Baba

You should know why

don't want to believe it's quota system, he was dropped before the Sierra Leone game but someone got injured that's why he was later invited as a replacement

andrew444:
Baba shehu career never end ooo

I will remind you when next he will be invited

at this point I don't see his usefulness again, we have Ebuehi and Aina at RB, Etebo Aribo Onyeka in midfield and he's not better than them

Ppogbae:
Guess who's already dancing ...

Ashley

andrew444:
You suppose know that moniker wey talk that thing nah

Lol, why you like violence like this

TheSuperNerd:
Onyeka to Brentford: Done and Dusted!

Frank Onyeka is confirmed. Onyeka to Brentford done! For a Club record purchase fee in the region of about (or close to) 10million euros.

He is now Brentford's most expensive signing ever..... For now.

Onyeka lands in the EPL. Official.

Hopefully we'll stop seeing Rohrbish using Semi in DM, also hope this will bring Shehu's career with the SE to an end at least till further notice

Akpeyi is tired of Nigerians


Daniel Akpeyi; “Their debate back home does not mean anything to me neither Kaizer Chief. Maybe, they only hear the scores and did not watch the game, and as usual they are hoping that it’s my fault so that they can have bad report about me to help their clients."

forgiveness:
Application has been submitted. Meaning the said players have filled the forms, appended their signature and submitted the form.

How can they be the one stalling themselves?

Dem bi FA or NFF?

How do you know application have been submitted?

Osimhen signing autograph while wearing the shirt someone here term racist

Neobulletzz:
So super falcons submit Plumptree papers sharp sharp and fifa don clear am all within this year but super eagles dey use 2 years dey await clearance

Not sure it's about the NFF, I think it's the players

andrew444:
Umar sadiq is an African so you should know that Núñez will be more expensive than him and umar sadiq is more older

Was about to point this out, Almeria will be very lucky to get 15mill for him

codemaniacs:
because of the environment the foreign born grow up in.. some of them will be better... and I'm also looking at the economic benefit to the Nigerian born players..

playing for Nigeria upgraded Okoye career drastically.. so Nigerian born players won't be able to upgrade their careers because the national team will be majorly foreign born players..

A good player is a good player, Solanke can't lace Osimhen's left boot. It's the government job to boost economy besides you don't have to play for the SE to make it in football, those guys playing in eastern Europe dey make money like mad. The SE should only be for the best irrespective of where they got their football education from

Peterside Ijeh's daughters were invited to the Super falcons camp. Time really does fly.

JohnBullMySon:
Have you interacted with a foreign born Nigerian before sir?

You would have known that it is not by who grew up in Nigeria. Some of these people you are defending have little or no love for the country and care only about themselves and their families. The ones you are disparaging have people with real love who go to several lengths to learn more about the country, it's culture, food, music e.t.c. These are what some Nigerians despise. Even some blacks like Nigeria more than the Nigerians themselves. SMH.

When it becomes easy to swap countries like it is in athletics that's when most people will realize that some of the home born/grown players don't really love the country

We need to take a closer look at this Bassey guy
