So explain why Maduabuchi, a 16 years old boy failed the MRI test? A genuine 16 years old with his date of birth captured in the American database?

The MRI scan is a criteria Nigeria has agreed to abide by not because it is accurate in helping us find our best quality talents in the U17 age grade but it helps us limit the chances of overage players breaking into the team.

The main idea of the MRI scan is that, it is hard for an old player to pass but there is a bigger chances for young players to fail.

A lesser amount of young players fail but a high amount of older players fail. As long as we have less overage players, we are okay to lose some high quality young players to achieve this. Does not mean all players that fail are overaged.

Ndidi was groomed by a National hero from young age, watched grow. Not some old man that came out of the blues to enter U17 team. Keep in mind Nduka Ugbade became one of the U17 coaches that period.

You don't have to remind me of what you wrote. I clearly got that. Sadly you still don't get it. How about you move on to issues you actually can understand.

Herein Lies a multitude of Drunks who think their little opinions matter in the Grand scheme of things

benji93:
So? For all your intelligence, you seem to be inadequate in your ability to make sense of opinions by considering their premises. I clearly stated in a follow-up post that this is an argument from experience with the development of people from humble backgrounds, as such it's not a logical development of facts. And who says i need to develop an opinion based on logic? Anyone is allowed to bring forth an argument provided they provide its premise/premises. An important part of a fruitful argument is that all parties involved must be on the same page, or at least understand the premise of each other's arguments. Besides, i was only joking with the addition of the fact that Mikel Obi is closer to his actual age than Ndidi is, although i believe that is likely. Some of you roll over the place claiming to be the connoisseurs of intelligent submissions, meanwhile, but usual don't even know what that entails. While claiming something is logical you pull in emotional thoughts(generally). Again i am allowed to vent an opinion i believe is very likely partially/completely based on my experience. Now as an intelligent thinker, you ought to ask what my reasons for that opinion are, after which a more fruitful argument can take off. If we really want to base this on logic, then there would likely be no argument at all. I would need to provide MRI test results, then provide a calibrated standard for interpreting such a result. I do not have access to such means, and i am allowed to argue from a different perspective. So you may think about this and come back with something better.

benji93:
Eye test. You don't have to believe it. I watched Obi during the 2005 under 20 championship and that was what i saw then.

benji93:
Honestly, this is not enough to make such an argument. Circumstantially, they were brewed differently. Perhaps if Mikel had played for a comparably lower team like Genk when he was learning the trade perhaps he would have more goals to his name. Just maybe. He featured for lyn 6 times before he moved to Chelsea. Just wait. Let's see how he fairs as he moves up to better teams. Only time will tell. Besides Mikel is way closer to his actual age than Ndidi. . Just a note.

andrewbaba44:
But he is yet to even get a club there

Una no get chill for akpeyi

Subzero047:
I don't think Enyeama will find the South African league hard

He's a top keeper

Subzero047:
Enyeama is considering returning to the South African league

Question is, if Enyeama starts playing regularly will you accept him back to the team?

ChrisKels:

You see say Na even joke I dey

I no get interest for those thing my broda

andrewbaba44:
Lol

You for kuku say na aboki nah

ChrisKels:
Wait oo, so teaching you something u never knew or giving u a simple correction now translates to defending Biafra and carrying tribes for head? Lol that just showed ur intention. Nice try, Omeruo is from ur village sir. U happy now?


In Igbo land, we say "Igbo na-asu n'olu n'olu" which means Igbos are dialectical, hence, the creation of "Igbo Izugbe"(the central Igbo). While we have the popular Igbo names(e.g Okocha, Okeke, Okafor, Okorie etc) that are common to every Igbo clan from Abia to Ebonyi to Enugu to Imo to Anambra to Rivers to Delta etc, we also have many names that are almost distinct to different clans. When u tell a man from Abia that your surname is Asogwa, Ezea, Onyia, Eneje, Duru he would give you that strange look like "which kind names be this?", but these are common surnames in Nsukka Enugu state, in the same vain, when a man from Enugu hears Agbai, Ajala, Agba, Ukeje, Duroha, Nmecha, Onoka, Isika, Ntori he would kinda look at you in disbelieve due to their strangeness to him but these are Igbo surnames from Isuikwuato LGA of Abia State. As an outsider, the Igbo names u can easy identify are popular surnames and the late 20th century to 21st century names because they always come with the "Chi" or "chukwu" suffix or prefix.

Being an Igbo historian, I can easily guess ones local government area by merely hearing his surname

ChrisKels:
Kenneth Omeruo is from Amawom Oboro in Ikwuano LGA of Abia State.


Maybe Ikwuano people ain't Igbos no more or there are other tribes besides Igbos that bear Omeruo, school me.


U go still talk say his brother Obinna Omeruo no be Igbo

gustav25:
Hahaahah .... Onye iberibe .... You are ignorantly imbecilic Joebie ... You will smell your nyash when I'm done with you Mugu

gustav25:

tbaba1234:

komekn:
Yobo was not invited to the NFF set up by Amaju.

The experiential competence that Yobo has acquired by participation in 20 years + of professional football in Europes top leagues from some of the top coaches in the world exceeds most so called coaches with badges.

Having a driving licence doesn't make you a great driver.

BascoVanVeli:
I think the right thing to do was to put contract discussions off until the world is in a stable place. That said I see no issue in the terms put on the table. There was nothing mind blowing, the only question is If the coach wants to stay in Nigeria or not. I do have a major problem with the publicizing of the terms prior to a contract being signed in that manner.

junnyjake:
I don't like Rohr and I advocated for his sack immediately after the World Cup.

Sacking him now is really wrong timing as he's been able to bring a bit of stability to the team.

Danielnino00:
From the terms of the contract,it's easy to see the Pinnick and fhe NFF don't want Rohr again...
I don't understand why they want him to live in Nigeria and nurture NPFL players...
I'm fine with him living in the country and watching some NPFL games to identify some decent players in the league who can add something to the team(I doubt if such players exist ) but nurturing them is another thing... What then becomes the job of the NPFL coaches ? Won't it be better if he spend that amount of time searching for better players abroad? Our best players are abroad. That much has been proven..

They just want to frustrate the man...

Keshi had an habit of reserving some slots in all of his national team call up for local players (as per NFF directives I'm sure), but it didn't do much to improve the state of the league..

do4luv14:
Yes you are right,

bbut then he wasnt employed by an international firm, he was employed by a local firm,



so how is it unfair, when that local firm decides to pay him in local currency instead of international currency


most especially when you look at it, a 1m dollar, is almost or close to 10, or 100 m naira



now the question is, which currency is being strained to favour the other?

do4luv14:
Pinnick should extends the naira payment to the players too,

we will know those that want to rep us tro it,

as for you all bashing Pinnick for the naira payment

Joebie, and Komekn. You both work and stay in Britain, are you both paid in Dollars? Or better still naira or Euros?


Tbaba1234 same goes to you, are you paid in pounds, Euros, or Naira?
