No one can convince me that the other 2 goalie are no way better than this guy who man the post today.

I don't wanna divulge into this much before some peeps will call me a tribalist.
I think the problem with most nigeria coaches still raises it's ugly head in manu's team.... you can tell their tribe or religion by simply looking at their team composition
anyway I am happy because he is doing well with the lad

forgiveness:
Don't be deceived, there are scouts here on ground. I can't believe Nigerian coaches judgement. It's not by force to do so. Is it?

You can can believe them no problem.

forgiveness:
Two heads they say is better than one. I don't think all those scouts na mumu because of one coach.

forgiveness:
He was meant to join them initially but Feyenord spoiled the move. They even blocked him from honouring Man City's invitation.

But your reliable eyes wants us to believe he's not good enough despite experience scouts recommending him to big clubs. Hehehehehehe!

Icon4s:
You only watched highlights. Watch the full game for u to better evaluate that keeper

ChrisKels:
Dont wanna be a kill joy, buh, I av got to say this, watch this boys next five years after they must have gone through the European coaching system, and u would find it hard to believe they were the same excellence of kids with guile u saw today. Sometimes I wonder if these Europeans deliberately coach out the talents in our kids after they must av shone at the AYCs and WYCs.

That said, dont u guys ever forget that not all these kids would make it professionally. Some will make it while others would fall by the way side. Reality101

forgiveness:
Hehehehehehe! Turn down England kwa. If na you, you go turn down England?

If he agrees to play for us simply means he has turned down England but let him declare for Nigeria first before we approach him less em take us shine again.

There is a blatant shameless double standard HERE.

When the NFF approached Uduokhai, Jordan Torunarigha, Akpoguma they have been consistently rejecting all advances. But we are still approaching them to date after continous consistent rejections. They have said some quite unflattering things about Nigeria. But nobody has attacked them with the same venom and unguarded hatred shown to Tega Abrahams. WHY ❓ ❓

The NFF and quite a few here are filled with unbridled hypocrisy. Tega did not tell Amaju to shout at the rooftops that he agreed to play for Nigeria.

A situation that required quite diplomacy and a bit of subterfuge. Amaju carry loudspeaker begin shout.

People have no idea about the high level of pressure that waa brought to bear on Tega. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. Damned if you don't damned if you do. Meanwhile he had not sorted out his long terms future thay could easily been jeopardised.

Three seems to be very limited knowledge of the politics of football and yes discrimination and corruption. You think England were going to sit down and watch another potential Zaha situation happen again.

What l am saying there is lot more to this story that will NEVER EVER BE MADE PUBLIC.

I deviate somewhat we are still chasing these German Nigerian who have blatantly rejected Nigeria. But no mention of Dominic Iorfa who is comparable or even better. Particularly when he made commitments to the SE near three years ago.

darkelf:
The racial bias is so obvious. Tammy will even fall behind Jamie Vardy in terms of consideration

Danielnino00:
Don't stress yourself about Tammy..
another call up from England will earn him a few minute on the pitch and boom! he will be gone...


Thank God everybody saw that the NFF tried to get him.. otherwise the usual talk of emotive prejudice would have been flying around....

Humility017:
Just imagine even oga Joe have joined the legion of folks that wanna turn out cadet teams to charity organisation for less privileged kids...

I fear for some brothers here

Earthquake2:
You are being very idealistic here

Selection would entail accommodating and catering for them for a period of time, how do you make that plan for hundreds of FB academy kids scattered over Europe

On the issue of excellence, provision still have to be made for quota of foreign based or home based so as not to seem that the home based are punished for not being able to afford to go to academies

TheGoodJoe:
So you think Osimhen and Kelechi Nwakali would have been better off waiting for a developmental league? That one is far for now. What is at hands is the U17.

The U20 and others can bring in all Nigerians, home and foreign but the U17 should be for grassroot development.

komekn:
U suppose know say l know Amaju from when he deh run local runs 4 Warri Wolves oh.

Whaaaaten dem deh talk for paper and wheaten dem talk na two different matter oh.

Na Amaju spoil ground go open Banga soup before d ting don. Na England come rush quench the fire.

forgiveness:
Did you personally monitor the players too to have believed the coach wasn't bias?

Atleast, the world has seen Omidiji and they know he is good.

ChrisKels:
Most patriotic are Edo people. A typical Edo man never fails to teach his wards about his Edo Origin, the language, the history of the Benin kingdom, what it takes to be a Benin man(ethics and norms), the obas and most importantly Osalobua. Whenever a player of dual nationality pops up, I first of all, check his origin, if it was Edo, I always have this strong conviction that the player would turn out for the GWG. Same cant be said of their Igbo and Yoruba counterparts who always try to be more Western than the westerners demselves

Bookmark this post, Uduokhai will soon thread Same path as other Edo guys like Osaze, Vicmo, Ebuehi et al.

About Gozie (Gozzi) Iweru, I do hope we get him sha. Another guy from Italy we should go for is Caleb Okoli of Atalanta.

ChrisKels:
This is nothing but a bait to once again get the attention of the English national team handlers. We cant fall for this cheap trick the second time.

forgiveness:
Overaction dey worry you.

forgiveness:
Omidiji is a known young prospect all over the world. A proven prospect for that matter. You can only speak for something you know and we are know him.

TheGoodJoe:
It is not about less Nigerian but giving underprivileged Nigerians the chance to grow. The foreign borns have things the home based kids can not dream off. Some of them are very gifted but have never warn a shin guard before.

The U17 is a window of opportunity to give these underprivileged kids a chance to change their lives. Then we take kids in some of the best academies who have it all to take away the opportunity of these kids.

I stand with the U17 and U15 being used for grassroot development in Nigeria.

Finito.

This is the prejudice that baffles me.

You, sir make the negative demarcation which is exactly the same sentiments which TRIBALISM is anchored upon. In my opinion you have lost your way.

Your place of birth is not what defines you.

What you are saying effectively is that Nigerians born outside of Nigeria are simply LESS NIGERIAN. That's TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

This is the same bigoted and prejudiced sentiment that made people in Lagos to come against other Nigerian who some are third generation born in Lagos to being excluded from political office in Lagos state claiming that they are not indigenous to Lagos state.

This is so RETROGRESSIVE and the very kind iof negative counter productive mentality that has stifled development and enthroned mediocrity and birthed our FANTASTIC CORRUPTION in our beloved country Nigeria.

Your sentiment would have excluded Obama an African by parentage from becoming President of the USA.

Because l was born.in the UK I am according to you less Nigerian.

I disagree with you completely without restraint and apology.

Kayode Olanrewaju with a goal for Sharktar Donetsk His first start of the season as a CF and first goal of the season.

Famocious:
Lolz..

Tammy Abraham has put up naija flag on his Instagram page, our flag even comes before the English's.

He may jump at our invite if Rohr extend one to him

tbaba1234:
With the right approach and incentive.

TheGoodJoe:
forgiveness is making it look as if Manu Garba dropped Nacho because of bias. I am just pointing out Manu Garba has enough reasons to drop Iheanacho. So dropping him later was very fair of Manu Garba.

tbaba1234:
He labels himself as a Nigerian king on his instagram so there is so affliation there.

Earthquake2:
There are more than 100 academy kids of Nigerian heritage in England alone

There is no way we can accommodate them bearing in mind we have our own youth kids too
