Happy new year my internet family 🥳

elyte89:
Now u can c y all fingers is pointing to me as d right candidate 😎


Meanwhile the truth is whether local or foreign , any coach we re going for is a gamble(more of 80percent gamble) forget d skin color ,it all boils down to d players themselves if Dey truly want to go to the World Cup .Take the match seriously nd grind out the needed result we need ..I believe we can qualify.Our first two games in march will determine our fate .it is a must win games.

March is not far again,na February cover am up..nff shld act fast and announce d coach

I agree, whoever we employ is going to be a huge gamble but we can soften it by hiring a tactically sound and accomplished coach

chrisooblog:
Sounds articulate and looks like he has a plan but in the words of the great philosopher Mike Tyson everyone has a plan until you get hit in the face.

But in all seriousness if we're strategic I would put him in a assistant position behind a foreign manager with him eventually to take over. Just think now might be too soon due to lack of experience.

why? He should go and prove himself first, if he’s good enough he’ll eventually get the job. At this very moment it’s too dangerous to give the SE job to a greenhorn

Philosopher1979:
Also, tactics trumps player quality sometimes. OK Chelsea keeps buying players but how many trophies have they won recently.
So this is the way to go.
I have said my own

Mtcheew, oya na I wonder why Madrid and City spend heavily on quality players

Kog45:
Starting games?just painful that it happened amidst Arsenal interests.

lol, Arsenal una

Oganigwe:
Man city are interested in Ola Aina

dead that thought, won’t happen

M7even:
By December I have conceded that Mo Salah is the next caf African player of the year.

too early to call, this time last year if I had told you Lookman will inherit Osimhen’s crown you’ll argue with me

Alright, for the sake of everyone.

It simply means stroke arising from High Blood Sugar in one's system.

High blood sugar can exhibit symptoms that imitate a stroke.

If one's blood glucose level is on the high side, it can result in increased deposits of fats or clots in blood vessels.
These clots can act to either block or narrow blood vessels in the head(Brain) or neck, cutting off the blood supply thus stopping oxygen from getting to the brain and causing a stroke.

That is why it is called Diabetic Stroke. It could be pre-diabetes (stage just before diabetes is fullblown) or diabetes itself.

In TGJ's case, I guess it was called Mini-stroke by his own doctors because while it was strong enough to knock him down, the symptoms weren't full blown (not all were expressed) but had to be managed immediately with care and utmost attention.

So please, folks should kindly mind their sugar intake. I advise everyone to kindly monitor their blood sugar levels and BP levels as well. We will all live long. Amen.

thanks bro, your contributions to this thread are invaluable 👍

Update on TheGoodJoe

NB: Please kindly put banters aside and take this seriously. Resist also the insensitive temptation to link this to Man City's current run of form. This is no joking matter, I plead


Now, I know a couple of monikers have been asking for weeks now about the whereabouts of TheGoodJoe. Truth is, I didn't want to share anything even though I knew all along what was happening with him and that is because I had not gotten his consent yet to share it (I have that now). He was going through a whole lot healthwise and I kept touch with him from the onset.
I just didn't wanna bring something so sensitive and private without his consent to the thread.


About 2 weeks ago or so, TheGoodJoe suffered a diabetic mini-stroke that really knocked him down. It led to him entering a semi-coma which kept him bed ridden for days but now he is up and fine again and has even been discharged as recently as yesterday.

He is fine but still undergoing serious followup checks with his doctors and more.

Please, kindly channel some of your prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽to TheGoodJoe's health. Pray that this diabetic episode won't see the last of him. It is well. Amen.

In all, TheGoodJoe is sound currently. He can walk again and move around. He couldn't as at several days and weeks back. He is okay but still needs checks to ensure no relapse occurs. We thank God for his Life.

He also wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year ahead.

wow! I pray for perfect health for him

Philosopher1979:
Let us have a comparison. Just to show how talented our golden generation was.
A midfield of okocha kanu and oliseh will not be outdone by a midfield of xavi, inesta and basquets.
The person who will collect the midfield from okocha has not been born. Talk less of when you put Kanu and oliseh.
It's my opinion but it's open for discussion
Okoca, kanu, oliseh vs
Xavi, iniesta busquets

can’t beat 10-man Italy, lost woefully at home to Brazil, struggled against Cameroon in an Afcon final, abeg comot for road

typicalgamer:
No we don’t have great talents

in attack we do but in other areas, just a bunch of mids but still good enough to trouble any side in Africa

Kog45:
The only difference between Aina and Ebuehi then was Argentina friendly match,nothing more....Aina started and fumbled Ebuehi and Idowu in and the game changed...key to Ebuehi and Idowu WC appearance but after that they fizzled out.

Ebuehi didn’t fizzle out, shortly after the World Cup he joined Benfica where he got the first acl

TheSuperNerd:
Bia Jide, take your time ooo. No be your NFF too?

😀 it’s a typo wanted to type the

TheSuperNerd:
Bruno Onyemaechi has played further forward than LB in his last two league games for Boavista (LM and LW) Today, he is playing as LW again.

He scored from the LW role last time out vs League Champs, Sporting CP.

our team is properly set up for 343/352, I just hope the NFF hire a tactically flexible coach

TheSuperNerd:
It is interesting that for a time there was actually an Aina vs Ebuehi debate on this thread couple of years ago.

How time flies....

injuries did Ebuehi dirty, back to back acl is very cruel

TheSuperNerd:
Ola Aina is the best Rightback/Right Wingback in Africa currently. No debate.🔥

Showed it at Afcon 2023. And his form gets even better in the EPL under Nuno Espirito Santo.

better than Hakimi? This is a bold call

victornoah:
Our team is aging

With no player below the age of 20', we need some fresh legs.

true, no quality young winger around, even full backs I can’t think of any

"My Stamina Improved After My Mum Introduced Fufu To Me In UK ."

-Ademola Lookman

"Growing up in the U.K, I was used to eating a lot of junk foods cos it's something very handy without wasting your time.

One day my mum followed me to the pitch where I play soccer with other kids at the age of ten, she noticed how I easily fell down when being shoved by other kids when contesting for the ball.

After the match, she told me "Ademola my son, I am not impressed by the way you fall when playing football. You are a Nigerian child and you should have the stamina of a Nigerian"

The next day, my mother introduced "Fufu" to my diet, at first I didn't like it because of the fowl smell, but as I ate it with ewedu soup, I could see the results as my stamina increased.

Now I am here, how can I have make it this far without eating Fufu? I will always represent Nigeria❤️"

what’s the source of this interview? Looks like those fake Facebook posts

BannedLarge:
Last year, when he won the award, nigerians were dragging fabrizio for not posting him. Posting a player and commenting their post is a totally different thing. Anyway, like i said when you don't properly raise a child, the authorities will help you do it

??

JayromWrites:
Whatever you chose to say.


So in your maturity you don't know that off field issues can affect on field productivity?


Mr. No busy body

lol, so you think all the players you watch week in week out are real life besties? There’s something called professionalism, they enter field and do their jobs. E.g Debruyne and Thibaut are reportedly not friends, there used to be Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham too. They enter field do their jobs and move on with their lives

Goke7:
I think as a people we just like to go against anything we feel it’s negative even where there’s no need to. People are free to raise their concerns about the unity of the team and I don’t think people still appreciate the impact it has on the success of the team and major failures of the eagles in the past has been attributed to this. If you listen to stories of past eagles players you’ll see them confessing how disunity ruined our chances in tournaments.

We saw the partnership between Lookman and Osihmen in afcon and that’s what has contributed to the current award for Lookman.

If we like let’s continue to deceive ourselves, Boniface will continue to fire blanks if he doesn’t work with his team mates. It’s public knowledge how the 94 team conspired to starve Yekini of supply and we know the impact he had, even keshi confirmed it. So when people raise observations we had better listen and pay attention. Osihmen has come out to clear the air which is good and wise of him cos going through another controversy like the one he had with finidi was never going to be in the interest of the team.

this story and Osimhen didn’t congratulate Lookman came from the same source, fans imagination. Please provide where Keshi confirmed it, thanks

JayromWrites:
I don't think it's dumb to ask a "Former CAF Player of the Year" and a teammate to congratulate the incoming player of the year publicly.

Now that it's visible e did. Water under the bridge.

The goal is a united and successful Super Eagles

you people are just busy bodies, the most important thing to we fans is for both of them to enter field and score for us, what 2 adults decide to do with their lives is not our business

BankyGee:
Everybody just dey shout Osimhen no congratulate Lookman, he might even be the first to do so in his DM, who knows?

If you are following Osimhen on IG, he liked EVERY post I've seen about Lookman on IG since yesterday till today, Osimhen was damn happy and supportive when he was asked three months ago if Lookman will win the award, in his own words, "if Lookman wins the award, it's like a second win for me"...

When Lookman won the Europa League, Osimhen didn't post it too, but they're cool with each other because he's doing it bro to bro, calls or messages... No be everybody dey do public congratulations, person fit still congratulate publicly make e no come from him mind. Osimhen wey be first to always publicly voice out for him teammates if anything go wrong, just like in the case of Iwobi's bullying and the Libya issue, na congratulations go come hard am to do.

Osimhen and Lookman are good friends on and off the pitch, anything apart from this online na conspiracy theory. Nigerians go always dey create confusion everywhere, the best thing as a celebrity in Nigeria is to 100% ignore fans most of the time.

I saw people trying to push the narrative that he’s jealous and I swear that’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen this week

Odunayaw:
Celebrity life hard sha. Everybody has an opinion on you, filling in the blanks based on their feelings.

I’m shocked seeing people that I think should know better joining them to push these narratives.

comodo:
Person go dey just dey worry about how other people relate to each other. Who post for Instagram and who no post for X

if it’s not madness I don’t know what it is

Danielnino00:
Which African striker would you put ahead of Osimhen in that XI?

Guirasy maybe

charlesemeka85:
So Hakimi true true don win am? Mad pple everywhere 🤦‍♀️

na that team Nigeria UK on Instagram worst pass, just dey project their fears with fake news

Danielnino00:
These awards are always one kind...

The men and women goalkeepers of the year didn't make the best XI.

And Koulibaly ahead of Ekong? Seriously??


Anyway, Osimhen and Lookman made the XI, so we're good so far

see your own bias too, no way Osimhen should be making that team of the year

BankyGee:
Wetin he wan use the Chinese do abeg?

make he go play for China, he’s done in Europe

BankyGee:
Bruno Onyemaechi GOAL
🇳🇬🦅

You are doing well Banky
