Yes I did smile... okay. Next time I will celebrate. Sooo? What’s even there to lie about if really did celebrate? *Hiss*

TheSuperNerd:
Neither do I care about you caring. Lol...

Point is you have answered the question. You did smile like a Cheshire cat over that Tammy goal post and later changed it to avoid "falling into the trap".

Well my good man... There you have it. That is all I wanted to nail down. The truth. You not caring is not my bother at all. grin

Now. Bonjour.

Lol I never lied. At least my conscience does not bother me because what you have been referring to I just now realized. But you've got it all wrong.. I hope this is not how you mis-read people in real like. If so you will not keep good relationships.. But I really think written word and spoken words are two differnt things. I'm hoping this is not what you normally do. I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

If I have to read this your epistle this back and forth will not end.. but I really don't have the time to tackle this your mission to defame me, right now. I have always been the one to say the obvious, and it's not going to change. Time and time will always vindicate what i've said. When I have more time I will read this your entire post, and will respond where/if necessary. I need to handle other issues here.

TheSuperNerd:
It's okay. You can lie coz I know you won't own up. Not that it bothers me but it just exposes you for who you are. You deny your Tammy bias but it is so obvious. That only speaks about you. You encouraged a talk with a "grin of pleasure" grin about a guy even you even agreed should not be focused on in the light of when we talk our Super Eagles players and Prospects. A player who spat on our faces (literally that is what he did even though he does "love" the country).

I will only say this... Just focus on our actual players. Tammy is gone forever. Focus on the ones that want to play for us and are playing for us.

I see the way you always try to label Nigeria and Nigerians as one country with every one bad and everything corrupt. You sound like you are some saint while every other Nigerian is stinky. I see the way you bash this country's citizens as if all are bad eggs and command some silly arrogance.
You keep talking like the Naija foreign borns are always right and Nigeria is always wrong. Even in Eze's matter, you stand with Eze even after the lad asked for time to think about representing a nation that has now come for him.
You even made a silly comment about inviting the lad without his consent... Like what the f**k?!

Man, I have been watching. To you, Nigeria is all shades of bad while the foreign borns are all shades of good. This is partly why your bias for Tammy never wanes. You always want to drum in the negatives of the country and indirectly use that to say, "Well, Tammy was right to do what he did by dragging our open arms in the mud and throwing it into the trashcan".

Your stand on this is truly distorted and the likes of Kellycute and Chriskels (and one other Moni i do not recall for now) have called you out on this on very few different occasions.

Read my response.. since i told u what I meant by clears throat, you should have dropped this. that I changed it from a smiley to clears throat, it's for a reason, and you are just now making me remember. However you have been using the words "evasive". You are not a mind reader. my change from a smiley to clears throat can be interpreted in several ways. . I honestly did not remember until I re-read that your comment.

Look mister, I saw your first and most original post on that Abusule post. You answered with a "grin" emoji... This---- grin Then ofcos... You later modified it. You thought no one noticed but I did. I just didn't pick it up then.

Next time Tammy scores or have an assist, I will be here to do a full blown celebration. I don't have a reason to deny something If I really did it. you are sounding funny man. This is just a forum, anyone can say anything. If I decide NOT to speak of Tammy here it's my personal decision, not because of some unwritten rules out of hate. But if you want to read false meaning into subtleties, then I may as well celebrate his goals... wetin u wan do? This thread will still move on.

That does not in anyway derail this thread, or the purpose of this thread. The point is that you don't like it for reasons we all understand.. But that's far from what you are trying to make it.. If I come here celebrating his goals, then that's another thing.'

oga all this one u dey talk.. if I have come here to mention Tammy when he scores etc then at least u have a point..
you no be mind reader. At least you should have waited for me to fall in that trap. And that would never have come, because truthfully i've not been checking his performances since that time... When I was even doing my SE Hopefuls series did I not drop Tammy several times when it was apparent he was no longer a hopeful. Talk less of when he don play for England.. Oga your characterization of me is way off.

TheSuperNerd:
At least... Iheanacho is a Super Eagles player. He has contributed and will keep contributing to the success of the team.

As for Tammy... Not a chance. Leave him with the Queen and the Three Lions.

@bolded... Yes you still cannot resist focusing on him when we have other players who this thread is primarily associated with are in action at same time. Brother, your bias is way strong abeg... Lol

Also @bolded... I have done same with Iheanacho but ofcos you will fail to mention that. because you want have a point. grin

@ TheSuperNerd.

You are calling me Tammy biased then what do you have to say about the people who are Tammy haters? There are many references here I can make. At least be on the fence before you throw stones.
My many posts are here and the internet does not forget.. I have gone both ways with Tammy. praised him when he is doing good and blasted hiim when he fires blank for example..Talking about people who have biases everyone here knows your association with Iheanacho. And you know how it went down last year in the award committee.. please don't let me start something..

And let me add Tammy willl be mentioned here even without me saying a word. Tammy is not a tabboo. He loves Nigeria. He loves the music. He likes the food. But he prefers to play for England shekina. We discuss a host of players here that has no biz with thread. We often go political and tribal..To me that's far worse than talking about a player who turned down Nigeria. The former is evil, and the latter is someone's personal choice.

Seriously... What more does QPR's Eze need to do to get a Nigeria call up?

QPR's Ebere Eze can't seem to buy his way into the Nigeria team at the moment, despite his excellent efforts in England. Mark Pain/PA Images
Nigeria's latest squad call-up once again brought disappointment for admirers of QPR's Ebere Eze.

On Thursday, the Super Eagles named their 23-man squad to face Brazil in a prestigious friendly game scheduled for mid-October, with just one new addiction to the list in Slavia Prague's Peter Olayinka.

It meant that, once again, there was no space for the 21-year old, who has shown such good form that there has been reports he could be an English Premier League player sooner rather than later, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly keeping close tabs.

In midfield, where Ebere would have fit in, there was a recall for Granada's in-form starlet Ramon Azeez as Gernot Rohr named six midfielders. That is the most he has listed since just before the Africa Cup of Nations, an area of clear deficiency.

Both call-ups are nothing if not thoroughly deserving.

Former junior international Azeez, who was in Nigeria's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad before slipping into relative oblivion, showed such strong performances this new season that he broke into the ESPN's Nigeria Power Rankings for August.

And what more can be said of Olayinka, who transferred his domineering league form into the UEFA Champions League as Prague went within a hair's breadth of a major upset at giants Inter Milan.

Add the stunning impact made by Glasgow Rangers' Joseph Aribo on his debut for Nigeria, and it is almost understandable why Eze is still on the outside looking in. Almost.

Midfield has been a problem area for Rohr from the very beginning of his rebuilding process. While his forward line and defence have seen relatively minimal churn, midfield has experienced more than its fair share of turnover, from Nosa Igiebor during the early days to this latest call-up of Azeez.


Granada CF's Ramon Azeez has earned a Nigeria call up after years in the wilderness. Quality Sport Images/Getty Images
The German has, to be fair to him, come to something of a settled middle three for his 4-3-3 style. Prior to John Mikel Obi's retirement, the preferred selection was Obi, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo, with Alex Iwobi and John Ogu as backstops. Kelechi Iheanacho has also been deployed there occasionally.

With Mikel's injury absence, then dip in form and eventual retirement, his place was taken by Iwobi. But that area of the team continued to be lacking in numbers, especially after injury to Ogenyi Onazi.

One big criticism of that department has been a lack of creative juice. Almost all of Rohr's midfielders have been essentially defensive-leaning, when an attack-minded person was desperately needed.

Mikel did not appear particularly suited to the role despite early successes, Etebo has been tried there, as has Iheanacho before Rohr finally settled on Iwobi. The Everton man appears to be settling in there game by game, and occasionally offers glimpses of the crowd-pleasing footwork that gets fans juices going.

Overall however, he is a tidy player who just wants to advance the ball and keep play circulating. Which may explain why there remains a yearning for more. More creativity, more adventure, more invention.

Eze ticks those particular boxes. He possesses the nifty footwork, the eye for a pass, and the vision to get past players. His energy and defensive graft also make him suitable for a box to box role. Not to endow him with all-conquering abilities, but he has the looks of a good fit, especially for the long haul.

Joe Aribo recently received his first call up to the Nigeria side, after a stellar early season for Glasgow Rangers. Mark Runnacles/Getty Images
That was, until Aribo came along. The Rangers man, in direct competition for the spot, came in like a whirlwind and blew all competitors away. It is only right that he has earned a second call. And it would take a real stinker for him to lose it now.

In danger, though, is Anderson Esiti, who may have earned a recall but played poorly in the last game when he made his return, after over four years in the wilderness. A second dodgy performance could prove fatal to his international career, and open the door to Eze.

There may also be an additional hoop to jump through. Although he is yet to make a competitive appearance, Eze was in the England setup for the UEFA Under 21 championships and Rohr told ESPN a year ago it could mean a longer route to secure the paperwork needed to get him to play in Nigeria colours.

That could well be a reason for his absence, even if a tenuous one, because if he is really needed and wanted by the coach, that paperwork won't be as big an obstacle as it seems.

Ebere Eze at the heart of Nigeria's dual citizen debate

Ebere Eze has scored three goals for QPR so far this season, leading to an England under-20 call up.
Yui Mok/PA Images via Getty Images



Queens Park Rangers' Eberechi Eze, who some consider Nigeria's great attacking midfield hope, is one step away from being lost to the Super Eagles.

The midfielder has been called up by the England under-20 selectors, and is expected to make his cadet bow in two friendlies this week.

If that happens, it will mean a significantly more convoluted route to navigate if the Greenwich-born 20-year-old is to suit up in green and white.

Not unexpectedly, this has led to a bit of friction between the Nigeria Football Federation hierarchy and Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, who called Eze into a training camp last year but did not hand him a debut, thus leaving him unbound to Nigeria.

Eze was one of a number of British-born players, along with Ola Aina, who were invited to scrimmage with the Nigeria national team in London. The expectations were that these players would gradually be integrated into the Super Eagles set up.

Eze's efforts were particularly eye-catching. His technique, skills, passing, and movement drew favourable comparison with the legend Austin Okocha, and NFF sources tell KweséESPN that Rohr had pencilled the then-teenager down as a potential replacement for captain John Obi Mikel.

Since that kickabout over a year ago, Eze appears to have fallen off the Nigeria national team radar. His contemporary Aina has become a fully-fledged international and only missed the World Cup party by a whisker.

In that time, however, Eze has grown from strength to strength at QPR, operating from a free midfield role that allows him the liberty of dropping his little technical bombs from all over the park. That unshackled rein has yielded three goals already this Championship season and made him a favourite with the Rangers fans.

That form has led to this call up by England, and could ultimately be the reason for Nigeria's loss. But that ominous prospect is still a long way out as he is nowhere close to the senior England set up.

So could he still be in Nigeria's plans? "Yes," Rohr told KweséESPN, before admitting that the road is now just that little bit tougher: "But it will be a long process before authorisation for him to play for us."

But a source within the federation preached sympathy for the coach, explaining that with so many foreign-born options available to select from, not to mention a plethora of home-grown talent also making their cases, it is a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation for the coach.

"He can't take every player born abroad. If he embarks on doing that, people will still moan and call it a team of second-divisioners and that he is leaving local boys out. There's never a perfect fix to the issue," the source said.

"Ebere is playing well. Good luck to him with England. There are many others that are being touted. Danjuma. Billing. There's so many. Yet when [Rohr] leaves even one of the old guard out of the list, heavens will almost fall."

It is about finding the balance between which of these dual citizens to pick and which to leave out. For now, Ebere is one that needs chasing while the door is still open.

we are all making deductions from what we see in the news. no one is a mind reader.

Barryseal:
But Komekn, previously you claimed Eze will come around and play for Nigeria after he must have bagged all the dollars and pounds from corporate sponsors.
In a space of a few days you turn around to blame the Nff for Eze's monetary ambitions?
How does it add up?

In a nutshell, I've never seen a bag of hot air, falsehoods, assumptions, yet presented with such pomposity and arrogance. You missed your calling as either a politician or a con man.
