So according to ur first paragraph, we should invite unproven players just because they are willing to repp us? Dats what is called mediocrity glorification. Dude we aint that poor and shouldn't be overly desperate.

Yes keep ur options open just like Danjuma and Ojo just did thats my point.

Danielnino00:
I believe every coach has his preference... In truth not all foreign born players declared before they got called up but their invitation was largely due to d preference of the coaches in charge then.. Keshi for his own reason chose to ignore Otigba who was in form then but approached Balogun... Rohr is ignoring Dessers who is willing to play for us for some reasons we don't know..
Its not until these FB become exceptionally good before we hand them a call up...but its still up to the coach

Clementoke:
WE are using Otigba as an excuse. I think he was just not lucky. Also you have to respect the preference of the coach at helm of affairs then. Apart from Otigba, is there any other "good" FB player that was ignored SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DECLARED?

Danielnino00:
I salute Balogun for his patience oo .

Declared in 2010,got called up in 2014 and became a full squad member in 2015 .

tbaba1234:
How many of those players mentioned actually declared for Nigeria, the way Otigba did ?

They were approached and were open to the idea.

ChrisKels:
No mind people make dem dey peddle lies. Otigba is good and he is playing for one poor team in hungry while his mates are in Serie A(Ekong), laliga (Omeruo). Otigba that was a bench warmer in Turkey where Omeruo and Ekong excelled. Otigba was good and he was relegated to the bench soon after his break through at Heerenveen, he was good yet, no big team came for him from the Eredivisie or anywhere else in Europe.

Dessers, a bench warmer for lowly Utretch is only being praised here because of his skin colour. As bad as Isaac Success is, Dessers aint his match. Can Dessers command a starting shirt in the Eredivisie, let alone the Laliga where Success held sway? Dessers is good, yet he hasn't been able to do what kayode did in Wien abi no be same jupiler league he ran away from that our guys have been tearing up over the years from Onyekuru , to Simon, to Kalu, Olayinka, even Bonaventure etc

Make we no dey glorify mediocrity just because we believe that anything foreign is special.

OLA Aina declared, Balogun declared, Vicmo declared, Ebuehi declared, ikeme et al declared and they got invited. My dear, if u are good, u will get a look in, then u if are better than what we have already, then God dun butter ur bread. KPOM!!!

junnyjake:
Lol! Better run for cover.

ChrisKels:
Otigba and Dessers aint good enough. As for Deji, the only thing delaying his invite is his lack of games for the first team. Deji has never played professional football bfor so it will be stupid inviting him now to the super eagles. As for dessers, it is not as if he is setting the Eredivisie on fire. He even started today and was poor, got subbed off earlier than supposed

komekn:
The issue is not about better.

Considering the players who have been invited then it's a matter of invitation and seeing what they can do in the SE, giving opportunity and a level playing field.

All this old news.

You can check my historical posts on the matter.

In reality the NFF should be engaging with Nigerian origin players known and unknown to create relationship. It's not for them to be declaring intention in the media.

edi287:
Deji will get invited...if Rohr knows what's good for him.

junnyjake:
I'd always advise against such public declaration, it doesn't amplify your worth in their eyes.

We want to work and sweat for something, anything that comes to us easily, we fail to value.

junnyjake:
And Duru?

edi287:
Ojo confirms interest in playing for Nigeria. Lookman we are waiting

BascoVanVeli:
Stephen Odey scores!!! NPFL day baby!!

Let me just keep sipping my drink like.....

groundnutoil:
u just read my mind did u see the second goal and even the way he joins attack proper left back stuff
serious the coach shud consider him no be everything we must get from Europe
we have raw diamonds here

Icon4s:
This my boy is a wonderment

Ukouwem Utin!

TheSuperNerd:
Lie lie. That trouble you are looking for will not be found.

safarigirl:
which time?

How many chances has he created? It is this same work rate some people use to defend Ighalo and his poor goals return. Is Jesus a DM? If people like Kanye are praised for work rate, they will still add a supposed forward?

BascoVanVeli:
A lot of them still question selling Nacho for Gabriel and they still say he is better than Rashford.

Icon4s:
But Ogu and Joel have been in the Super Eagles long long before any one even knew an Agbo existed some where. Super Eagles didnt start with Rohr.

At the second bolded, see I don't condone mediocrity, and I dont apply sentiments when I rate a player. Uche Agbo does not have the kind of ability to become a regular in the SE.

I have followed that boy since he played U20 under John Obu. Just like I dont also rate Mikel Agu despite how he was hyped here until he started playing and we saw what he is capable or not Capable of. And as for the last bolded. Though Joel Obi's delivery seems to have diminished due largely to long injury lay offS, but he is currently still far better than Uche Agbo.

Uche Agbo treated unfairly? Tell me which Midfield player that made the WC team that he could have displaced.

I'll gladly climb ladder to kiss her.

Love knows no distance

ChrisKels:
Na person go still marry this one?

Icon4s:
And the hyping resumes...

Icon4s:
His full name is Success Ajayi Isaac.

Born in Benin City, Yes. But I doubt he is Yoruba because hardly do Yorubas bear a name like Success. They may bear Isaac though. They hardly even bear two English names.
They typically always want at least one of their native names to appear to show their roots. Eg: he would have been Success Ajayi or Ajayi Isaac. Seems one of Success' parent is Yoruba though. Not sure either cos Akoko-Edo part of Edo state bear Yoruba names too.
