BascoVanVeli:

Moses message

Icon4s:
It wouldn't be a ridiculous request. But the truth is they cannot add any value to what we have now.

edi287:
You dey mind am...see how he says they are "shocked" like picking players of the right age is rocket science.
Nigerians sha...

tbaba1234:
I believe there were 40 players from which the final 23 were supposed to be drawn from.

Many of the best players have been ruled out.

Eaglets U17 AFCON hopes shattered after 15 players fail age test, star strikers sent home

Nigeria’s chances of shining at the forthcoming U17 AFCON zonal qualifiers in Niger Republic have suffered a major blow after at least 15 of the 40 best players failed the mandatory MRI age test just two weeks to the big kick-off.

Some feelers have even suggested that the players who failed could even be far more than officials were ready to divulge.

The players affected include four of the team’s star strikers as well as a highly-rated central defender from Plateau State, SCORENigeria has exclusively gathered.

We have further gathered that all the players have since been sent packing from the team’s training camp in Abuja.

Another set of 15 players are now to undergo the MRI scan to replace those who failed.

“It’s a devastating blow, everyone involved in the team is shocked,” an official admitted to SCORENigeria

Last year, as many as 23 players failed the age test so much so that the five-time world champions failed to qualify for the U17 AFCON in Rwanda.

Coach Manu Garba’s team are to begin their qualifying campaign on September 3 against Burkina Faso.

They are drawn in Group B along with Cote d’Ivoire and Benin Republic with only the overall winners of the seven-team qualifying competition advancing to the tournament proper in Tanzania next year.

15 players failed MRI.

team decimated again..

tbaba1234:
Ola Aina and Dad in Turin..

tbaba1234:
I agree with a player working his way up but it does not always pan out well.

I think this will be Ebere Eze last season in the championship. He is extremely talented.

AIG07:
From what I saw, I will rate the performance against the Germans as the best.

AIG07:
Ajibade to the rescue!

AIG07:
Sir Joebie. These girls are below average.


We are one goal down and the coach has refused to make sub

AIG07:
Best Game? Make I wait to see the second half

Abusule007:
Who's watching Nigeria match?
I'm not watching it but I'm just wondering why we can't score goals. So far we've scored only one goal which came from a penalty.
If they continue like this, if they qualify from group stage, it would be difficult for them in the quarter finals

AIG07:
Joining our ladies match and we are already a goal down.

BascoVanVeli:
Did they give birth to him.

tbaba1234:
He talked about inviting him for under 20.

BascoVanVeli:
My question remains unchanged, is a professional player who transfers to another league guaranteed to succeed? A quality player can go his career without making impact when you add injury and bad luck.

The problem is you want the whole league to be world beaters but that is unrealistic. Players improve if they want to. The premier league didn't make Ronaldo good and neither did la liga with Messi. If players don't want it you can't blame the league. Do u know how many south Africans have flopped in Europe? Only a handfull didn't.

The fact is that the Nigerian player has not been wanting it enough. They want success but not greatness. Like I said this isn't about the NPFL it is a Nigeria problem. How can you blame the NPFL for a Daniel Etor choosing Oman as hiss definition of success?

tbaba1234:
In 2016, Owngoalnigeria did an article on Umeh. He was 19 at the time.

In 2018, he is now 18.

Abusule007:
I think Leicester would have won today's game if mahrez was on that game. His absence was well felt.

forgiveness:
You started it.

BascoVanVeli:
If you watch our matches at the Olympics you will hear him in shouting.

BascoVanVeli:
Yea same as Siaone minus the Yoruba.

forgiveness:
Graduates from the aforementioned public universities are still making impact home and abroad. Gbam!

You should have known that most of the students applying to these schools are mostly the best brains in the country. Even rich kids are many in these universities, therefore, it's expedient the best comes from these schools.

However, UI for your information, is doing everything to remain the best in Nigeria and become one of the best in the world.

What is stopping them is funds. That also can be said about other public universities. The structures is already on ground but fund is issues.

If the government focuses on Education, I don't think the Private schools stands a Chance.

BascoVanVeli:
No big deal Siasia does the same thing. Some people are more hands on than others. We would hear Conte and Pep if not for the thousands of people shouting.

Bolowolowo:
There are reports that someone from our world cup team contracted an STD. Someone plz confirm.

safarigirl:
3 out of about 70 is not a pass mark TBH. Generalizations are born out of the idea of a majority.

You equally made a generalization saying private schools are the future, or implying they were better than public schools, next time, to avoid generalisations, just mention the school you talk of is all

tbaba1234:
He had a very good pre season but it seems the coach is not willing to give him a chance. It sometimes happens like that.

I remember when Victor Moses will be very good in preseason but Mourinho will still send him out on loan. Conte gave him a chance and Moses thrived.

tbaba1234:
Isaac Success might stay at Watford if they fail to get a new striker.

AIG07:
Ajibade signaling to the coach to make changes...


The Haitians are more threatening going forward

AIG07:
Our midfield is non existence
