You are right too.

Wherever I an, it’s easy to know Nigerians are around. And I don’t mean we all behave this way. One common thing is we like to talk loud on the phone. Like I’m in a shopping mall, why am I hearing about your business, and I’m not even in close proximity to you.

codemaniacs:
you're right.. and also the fact that some Nigerians don't realise when they are no longer in Nigeria they have to show courtesy to the indigenes of the country they are in and not get too involved in some things even if it is legal for non-citizens to participate..

for example, a friend attended a university in Ghana and was getting involved in their school politics and was contesting to be "student leader" or something like that but the Ghanaians made his life there hell and had him arrested then his family had to bring him back to Nigeria without him finishing his degree because Ghanaians frustrated him a lot..

so Nigerians need to mind their business when they are outside Nigeria..
even when minding their business they should not fall for traps that could lead to false accusations from the citizens...

Well said
M7even:
I think it's evenly balanced. There are Ghanaians who are envious of Nigeria as well as Nigerians who like to bully and oppress Ghanaians, but many of this is limited to twitter and social media banter. It's just a case of push and pull, reaction and counter-reaction. There are good Ghanaians as well as bad Ghanaians. The same way we have good Nigerians and bad Nigerians.

While we missed out of the Qatar World Cup, we took it out on them in the AFCON laughed and jibed them, it is only natural that they(many of them) will not want us to win the AFCON because they saw it as a nail to their coffin. Which I perfectly understand.

Our rivalry is drawn from our colonial history and national language. We are both bordered by francophone nations but then we don't really look at the francophone nations to chat or banter because of language differences.

Our Twitter netizen is possibly larger than Ghana's population at 30 million. I don't think they hate us, perhaps some do, but not in the majority, however how many countries over the world are comfortable having an average Nigerian around or living there. Ghana is second home to Nigerians with the largest numbers of our undocumented citizens living thriving there. If there is a breakdown of law and order right now in Nigeria, the first destination for many will be Ghana. And that's why they worry when we have elections, they are aware that if it does go bad for any reason in Nigeria, many will move to Ghana.

I don’t think Ghanaians are envious of Nigerians. Maybe we are too showy for their liking.

codemaniacs:
According wikipedia:

Ivory Coast is 38% Akan by ethnicity.. while
Ghana is 46% Akan by ethnicity..

Ivory Coast and Ghana are practically one people and one country so stop talking like that...

Ghana will always celebrate Ivory Coast beating Nigeria.. it has nothing to do with envy

same way some Northern Nigerians will celebrate Niger republic beating Nigeria.

Please tell him o. Using same logic, Chippa United is 12th in the league out of 16. why is Nwabali not catching all the balls to lift his team?
mrwilliams9:
This reasoning is not sound. Is it not Nwabali based in SA that performed well for us? Is the SA league better than the Portuguese league?

If he can add a skillset to our midfield that none of our current MFs can add, why not invite him?

That is the question that no one can answer.

You sef no read my write up else there won’t have been any need for most of the things u said.

komekn:
You need to see it in context.

Put any of Onyeka, Ndidi , Aribo, Dele-Bashiru, Iwobi those players in the Portuguese league and they will look like Ronaldinho and Yaya Toure joined together.

This is ludicrous you are comparing stats of different level of football ⚽ leagues and assuming they are on par.

Even your proposition lacks merit, he is getting all these supposedly outstanding statistics but his team remains at the bottom of the Portuguese league.

His team has conceded the highest numbers of goals in the league 48 and have scored the second lowest number of goals. Your statistics are academic they are not articulated into high level performances.

In addition the last three games Chavez has played Nwakali as a left winger. So what does that mean he is not good enough ❓
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 9:06am On Feb 21, 2024
To answer your question, one of Nwakali’s key stats — ball recoveries — he averages 5.2 per game this season (compare to Onyeka 3.0, Ndidi 3.0, Aribo 2.5, Dele-Bashiru 3.3, Iwobi 4.6, Onyedika 6.3, Yusuf 5.8 ).

You want to consider many factors like the strength of the opposition/league, the team’s style of play, as well as the specific role given to the midfielder amongst others. This is just stating that he brings more to the table than just being a dead ball specialist, top notch long balls delivery and passes (which is why he always has high numbers relatively in key passes)


Recoveries are crucial for several reasons:

1. **Regaining Possession**: Recovering the ball allows a team to regain possession and control of the game. This is essential for maintaining pressure on the opponent and creating scoring opportunities.

2. **Transition**: moving quickly from defense to attack and vice versa. Recoveries help teams transition from defense to attack by quickly regaining the ball and launching counterattacks.

3. **Disrupting Opponent's Rhythm**: By disrupting the opponent's possession and passing rhythm, recoveries can disrupt their game plan and force errors or turnovers.

4. **Defensive Stability**: Recoveries contribute to defensive stability by preventing the opponent from advancing into dangerous scoring positions and reducing the number of shots on goal.

5. **Energy and Momentum**: Recoveries can energize a team and swing momentum in their favor, especially if they lead to scoring chances or successful counterattacks.

Overall, recoveries play a vital role in both defensive and offensive aspects of the game. However, just like in some other key stats it is still a matter of how this translates to the team’s success

Joezinho:
lol. Country hard. Make dem collect money chop. 😂😂. Right now, if I see who pay me money I go sing the praises of haruna lukman to come mount that midfield. Abi nor be their pockets all man dey fight for? 😂😂

Someone we have watched him since his U17 days and it’s now obvious that no serious team wants to use him. What does nwakali add to his team when they do not have the ball? How many tackles does he win? How much ground does he cover? lol.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 1:47am On Feb 21, 2024
You are getting all emotional. If I follow u enter gutter e go bad. Na u dey make Nwakali trend for here day in day out. The fact is some players make fast progression and fizzle out. Some make steady progression and stay around for a long time. Na here we dey. There will be many more pages to read. E go pan out for ur very eyes

I never see u drop one analysis for this thread na to cut and paste OGN and ANS. As u sabi ball make u analyze na.



charlesemeka85:
oga shut up for once and stop spewing trash on a daily basis here

And the Orlando pirates, Kwazulu Natal and Chippa united stars against the super eagles who later progressed to the finals?

Many of una go Dey form football heads here when your actual calling na to concentrate on badminton and softball 🤣🤣🤣

A player who is talented but yet to progress after so many tries in europe that one na talent? Or are u blind enough to notice that something is not right with the player in question?

The nwakali u keep on licking his ass here for close to a decade was a kid star when 50% of our current super eagles players with those uncapped weren’t even sure of making it to professional football

We all are on nwakali while the players below emerged from no where to make name in decent European leagues and clubs

Alex Iwobi
Joe Aribo
Rapheal Onyedika
Alhassan Yusuf
Frank Onyeka
Zaidu Sanusi
Bruno Onyemaechi
Gift Orban
Akor Adams
Terem Moffi
Victor Boniface
Igoh Ogbu
Nathan Tella
Yira Sor
Michael Folorunsho


Mk I just stop here cus if I continue the list over long.

You will still be on Nwakali’s dick Eletu and Akin will debut for inter and Milan as well as achieve bigger things in europe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When those Sundowns players languishing in the SA league were dancing Makosa around SE players what did u say? Some players may not have quick progression but their talents can never be denied.

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just take a look at the boy I posted about few minutes ago

Just a year in Spain where his first stop was Spanish 5th tier he will be moving to laliga next summer

All we do here is to live in the past mostly rating players based on their exploits many years ago

I bet you that if Nwakali is as good as many think here he will be the first name in jpes team with regards to him playing in the gaffer’s country

We go still dey this nwakali matter kids like Eletu,Akin, Daga and even Nnadi will grow to star in big leagues and clubs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean it doesn’t make Sadiq a great striker today. And as a midfielder that else do u bring? Because you won’t be scoring those screamers on a regular basis.

Sadiq Umar has scored two long range goals this season alone.

I would love to see more clips on his midfield plays on how he combines with his teammates.

Big chances doesn’t always equate to goals.

komekn:
They say charity begins at home in your club and league.

So why is Chavez at the bottom of the League and scored the second lowest number of goals 🥅 in the league . Why didn't he create big chances for his team to score more.

Isn’t that what Osimhen thrives on most in the absence of crosses?

Truidstarr:
😂😂 Una head don dey swell now Abi? You guys were right. His best attribute at a rating of 75 was his long balls. That kept most defences humble. But hey…. was a simulation.

That’s stats speaking.
Guaranteed Nwakali will create big chances game after game.

Truidstarr:
I did a simulation on EA sports FIFA 23 with our current SE setup from the quarter finals to the finals of the nations cup…. The addition of Nwakali gave us victory by 2 goal margins all the way to the finals. I am not a fan… but I was really surprised.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 10:54am On Feb 19, 2024
You are right! I had to search and sometimes I am even surprised with myself how I get most things right.

It’s a no brainer with Nwakali. I have said it in recent times that he does possess some things that the current team lacks. That is not to say we don’t need other additions in that department.

AndSunGorilla:
One man who advocated for little unknown (at some point) Stanley Nwabili was you. Posterity has shown that you saw right.

if we remove every sentiment and bias, this boy has earned the right to be entered into the convo. In fact we shouldn’t even be speaking o Sadiq Umar. Akor Adams has been experiencing a goal draught since notching 7 goals in Ligue . Who is REALLY better so far this season.

When players show interest in Nigeria, people will bring in bias. When they don’t declare na still problem. Do we really like progress?. By the way all the SE players that made the official AFCON XI are dual citizens who committed to us. Wetin we wan talk now?

I don’t have a preferred team in the EPL, but even die hard Chelsea fans know their current team is unpredictable. Osimhen deserves a top team that has the potential to win the league and possibly Champions League. Where are the suitors that can offer that?
He will shine in PSG. Let him use that to launch himself to where he belongs.

Marjoribanks:
The current Chelsea team do dominate team and create loads of chances. If he goes there, he will definitely shine. The EPL has only few elite defenders. Osimhen will walk over that league!
