With less than 48 hours
before Eagles gaffer
Stephen Keshi unveils
his 23 - man roster for
the African Cup of
Nations,
allnigeriasoccer.com
picks the players likely
to be on the plane to
South Africa.
Goalkeepers
Vincent Enyeama
Age:30
Caps:69
Chances of being on the
plane: 10/10 - The
experienced Maccabi Tel
Aviv custodian is a sure
banker for the trip to
South Africa. Has kept
four clean-sheets in the
current campaign.
Despite question marks
regarding his
performances in the
recent matches played
by the Eagles, he is
expected to start the
tournament in goal.
Austin Ejide
Age:28
Caps:23
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 - The Press
has been kind to Ejide
with their recent
remarks, especially with
his performance against
Venezuela and the
penalty save against
Hapoel Ramat Gan in a
cup game. But we can
reveal Ejide's form has
been patchy since the
season started in Israel.
Has conceded 12 goals
in his last 7 matches in
the championship.
Definitely on the plane
to South Africa, where
he is expected to act as
back up to Vincent
Enyeama.
Chigozie Agbim
Age: 28
Caps: 1
Chances of being on the
plane: 8- Showed
composure and
leadership qualities in
the last friendly against
the Catalonian.
selection. Will make the
23 - man squad to
South Africa.
Daniel Akpeyi
Age: 26
Caps: Nil
Chances of being on the
plane: 3 - Unfortunately
fails to make the squad
to South Africa due to
his inexperience at
international level. Coach
Stephen Keshi never
gave him a chance to
prove his credentials.
And the Cape Verde
friendly is coming too
late.
Defenders
Joseph Yobo
Age: 32
Caps: 89
Chances of being on the
plane: 10: There are
doubts surrounding his
full fitness.
Nonetheless, the Eagles
skipper should be the
first name on the list
when defenders are
penciled down by the
selectors. This should
be his last appearance
for Nigeria in a major
tournament. Would be a
perfect icing on the
cake if the Eagles lift
the trophy on February
10.
Efe Ambrose
Age: 24
Caps: 16
Chances of being on the
plane: 10: Ambrose has
grown by leaps and
bounds since his move
to Scotland powerhouse
Glasgow Celtic last
summer. Versatile
defender who could
start the Eagles first
game against Burkina
Faso on January 21 at
right back.
Juwon Oshaniwa
Age: 22
Caps: 8
Chances of being on the
plane: 5: May be an
unpopular decision, but
the right one! Has not
impressed in the few
games he's started in a
green and white jersey.
He's very likely to get
chopped off by Keshi.
His omission from
recent games played by
Nigeria is a warning
signal that he was
called to Faro as a
training material.
Godfrey Oboabona
Age: 22
Caps: 9
Chances of being on the
plane: 8: Modern day
defender who can cover
several roles at the
back. Should be on the
plane to South Africa
where he will act as
understudy to Joseph
Yobo in the tournament.
Azubuike Egwuekwe
Age: 23
Caps: 10
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 - Versatile
player that can play at
left back and in
defensive midfield. His
performances for the
Eagles have been
flawless. Expected to
partner Yobo in central
defense.
Elderson Echiejile
Age: 24
Caps: 19
Chances of being on the
plane: 10: The Sporting
Braga fullback is
expected to be one of
the important players
for Nigeria in this
tournament having had
the experience of
playing at the 2010
World Cup and Afcon.
Solomon Kwambe
Age: 19
Caps: 2
Chances of being on the
plane: 3: Yet to play a
competitive match for
the Super Eagles,
inexperience has cost
him a place in the squad.
On top of that, he is not
versatile enough to be
considered for selection.
Ambrose, Yobo,
Oboabona, Ogude and
Omeruo can also play at
right full back.
Kenneth Omeruo
Age: 19
Caps: Nil
Chances of being on the
plane: 8 - One of the
rising stars of Nigeria
football. Expected to be
a mainstay in the Super
Eagles for more than 10
years as he is still a
teenager. Tipped to be
named as Keshi's 'Theo
Walcott selection'.
Benjamin Francis
Age: 18
Caps: 1
Chances of being on the
plane: 7 - The
youngster is expected
to get Keshi’s nod
ahead of Juwon
Oshaniwa. Showed
flashes of brilliance
against Catalonia early
this month.
Papa Idris
Age: 23
Caps: 4
Chances of being on the
plane: 3 – The Nations
Cup may have come too
quick for the player who
is just returning from
injury. Not going to
South Africa.
Midfielders
Mikel Obi
Age: 25
Caps: 38
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 – Whether
fully fit or not, Mikel will
go to the Nations Cup
even with one leg. With
the perceived lack of
experience in midfield,
the Chelsea ace should
up his game and show
why he’s a world class
player in South Africa.
Nosa Igiebor
Age: 22
Caps: 5
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 - Another sure
banker for the trip. This
will make up for the
disappointment of
missing the African
Under 23 championship
two winters ago.
Igiebor desperately
wanted to play in
Morocco and embarked
on a media campaign in
the Israeli media…..but
this story is for another
day. The Real Betis
midfielder is a
committed player,
ready to work his socks
off for the national
team cause.
Gabriel Reuben
Age: 22
Caps: 9
Chances of being on the
plane: 5 – The standout
player in the domestic
championship. Has
fitness concerns and
won’t be going to South
Africa!
Eddy Onazi
Age: 20
Caps: 2
Chances of being on the
plane: 8– On the plane.
A modern day
midfielder, can play
several roles in midfield
– central, defensive,
right and attacking
midfield. That puts him
ahead of his
competitors battling for
places in midfield.
Expected to be used as
an impact substitute by
Keshi in South Africa.
Raheem Lawal
Age:22
Caps: 3
Chances of being on the
plane: 5: - Lawal is the
weakest link in the
Eagles midfield. Making
the 32 – man roster is
already a plus to his CV.
Not going to South
Africa.
Obiora Nwankwo
Age: 21
Caps: 6
Chances of being on the
plane: 8: You don’t play
in a competition as
glamorous as the
Champions League for
Inter Milan by accident.
In this relative
inexperienced squad,
you can bet Obiora
won’t suffer stage
fright.On the plane.
Fegor Ogude
Age: 25
Caps: 8
Chances of being on the
plane: 9 - His versatility
puts him ahead of
Raheem Lawal in Keshi’s
pecking order of central
midfielders. In addition,
can play as makeshift
right back. Very
important in a
tournament of this
magnitude where
overzealous officials
can brandish red cards.
Sunday Mba
Age: 24
Caps: 4
Chances of being on the
plane: 7 – Has an
impressive ratio of
goals for the National
Team. Should be on the
plane to South Africa.
Rabiu Ibrahim
Age: 21
Caps: Nil
Chances of being on the
plane: 9 – Once hailed as
the New Jay Jay
Okocha. While he has
the technical and
dribbling abilities of the
former Bolton star, the
wide range of passing
which Okocha
possesses is absent in
Rabiu’s game. But he
will go to South Africa,
and don’t ask me how
he made it.
Henry Uche
Age: 22
Caps: 7
Chances of being on the
plane: 3 – Uche won’t
be going to South
Africa. So many players
ahead of him in the
pecking order in his
favored position.
Forwards
Ahmed Musa
Age: 20
Caps: 17
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 – A certainty
on the plane. Will be one
of the stars of the
tournament.
Emmanuel Emenike
Age : 25
Caps: 9
Chances of being on the
plane: 9 – These days
the Nigerian attack is
tailored after the
English system, where
there is the presence of
a physical striker to
wear down the
defense. The Spartak
Moscow front man has
excellent physical
presence to trouble
African opposition.
Brown Ideye
Age: 24
Caps: 5
Chances of being on the
plane: 7 – Ideye has
been more prolific for
club than country.
Including the Under 21
squad, has scored only
once in his last 10
games for the national
teams. Will go to South
Africa based on his club
form and is seen as a
big game player.
Uche Kalu
Age: 26
Caps: 3
Chances of being on the
plane: 1 – Not fully fit
and would be a major
risk if he’s taken to
South Africa. Rizespor
want him back in
Turkey for proper
medical attention.
Victor Moses
Age: 22
Caps: 6
Chances of being on the
plane: 10 – If he does
not make the trip to
South Africa, then the
Eagles have no business
travelling to South
Africa for the
competition.
Bright Dike
Age: 25
Caps: 1
Chances of being on the
plane: 8 – The last 12
months have been
magical for the Portland
Timber striker.
Sometime last year,
Bright was playing in
United States’ third tier.
All doubts about his
ability were put to rest
following a fine
performance against
Catalonia. This is a
story for Nollywood.
Ejike Uzoenyi
Age: 24
Caps:7
Chances of being on the
plane: 5– Another
interesting decision by
the coaches. May be a
luxury taking two left
wingers for the
competition. Thus
Chrisantus misses the
cut.
Ikechukwu Uche
Age: 29
Caps: 40
Chances of being on the
plane: 10– Nigeria’s
most potent threat in
attack statistically. Has
netted 9 goals in his
last 10 appearances for
the Super Eagles. Must
have an eye on the
African Cup of Nations
golden boot. On the
plane.

Rabiu Ibrahim and three
other players have been
dropped by Nigeria
ahead of the AFCON
this month in South
Africa.
The other players axed
are Kano Pillars
defender Papa Idris,
Henry Uche of Enyimba
and Turkey-based
striker Uche Kalu, who
is injured.
Eagles spokesman Ben
Alaiya announced the
affected players will
depart Faro on Monday,
while four other players
will be dropped on
Tuesday to give Nigeria
a final 23-man squad
for the Nations Cup.
Keshi made the
announcement after
the dinner on Sunday
and the players took it
in good faith.
"Everything is good in
camp, all players are in
good spirit. The four
players dropped took it
in good faith because of
the way coach did it,”
said Alaiya.
"The way Keshi broke
the news to the players
was superb, he called
the players affected
aside after dinner,
talked to them and told
them they won’t be
going to the AFCON but
could still make it
another time.
“We have 27 players in
camp now and four
more will be dropped
tomorrow (Tuesday).”
Of the dropped players,
the team official said
Rabiu’s late arrival and
inactivity with former
Scottish club Celtic may
have worked against
the former U17 and U20
star.
“Rabiu was outstanding
and was a true replica
of ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha if
you see him at training,
the look, the style of
play, but there are lot
of better players in the
midfield, so he has to
go,” he remarked.
“Henry Uche has a
future in the team,
while I feel sorry for
Uche Kalu as he was
involved in all the
qualifiers but the injury
knocked him out."

“Gunners for life”!!! ... Are
you freaking kidding
me Chant not that
phrase at me any more if
you don’t want both
hands of mine shoved
down your throat. OK, I'm
kidding. But on a serious
note, please don’t. ?
Sometimes, I ponder which
is worse; being a
supporter of Arsenal FC
or of the Super Eagles (or
Nigerian football in
general). Both teams are
high-end distributors of
hypertension.
You know, growing up, I
had no choice but to love
football. I was born into a
family where my father
had so much passion for
football; all I had to do
was follow suit.
Once I became a lover of
football, supporting
Nigeria was no more a
choice, it became an
obligation.
I remember Atlanta 96
(Olympic Games), I and my
Dad (funny enough, I’m
the only one of 5 kids,
who has love for football)
stayed up all nights to
see our games including
the 4-3 defeat of Brazil in
the semi-finals and later
on Argentina in the
Finals.
Those were however,
some of the rare
highlights of being a fan
of Nigerian football as far
as my age is concerned
(not too old neither too
young ).
Further down memory
lane, being a fan has had
some exciting moments
but it only gets worse as
the years go by. Nigerian
football (Under17, 20, 23;
Super Eagles, Super
Falcons, Falconets,
Flamingos) has become a
hyper-giving sport for
passionate lovers of the
game.
Well, the reason for
decadence in Nigerian
football is not far-fetched
as I wouldn't expect much
from a country with bad
governance.
Arsenal Football Club are
not far different from the
Super Eagles. Both teams
get your hopes so high
and then dash them when
you thought “this is it”.
But the only major
difference would be
management.
You see, I became a fan
of the North London Club
by choice and it’s still by
choice although I find it
difficult bowing out (I
perceive the use of
voodoo a.k.a illuminatti
syndrome).
How I got myself involved
with this “next season”
English club, is something
I wouldn’t thank Nwankwo
Kanu (the hero of Atlanta
96) for.
Nigerian football Legend,
Kanu, made me like the
Gunners. His miracle at
Stamford Bridge against
Chelsea FC in 1999 was
the “liking point”.
The Gunners have had
their own good spell of
glorious moments. But just
like Nigeria and every
other team, they have
also had their
“blackouts”; with the
blackouts steadily leading
the contest.
Only just recently the
North London side were
treated to their regular
eviction party as THEY
(no more referring to
them as WE) were
bundled out of the Capital
One Cup. Guess who
knocked THEM
out...........BRADFORD CITY!!!.
No disrespect to the
Division II side though,
but you would’ve
expected a club like
ARSENAL to make me
proud. THEY never did.
Now the question on my
mind is “being a fan of
Arsenal, is it good or
bad”?
The answer is......................it
is BAD!!!
I will start by pointing out
the key features of this
club or should I say what
every has now known the
club to be in the past 8
years, no thanks to the
Frenchman, Arsene
self-servicer, sorry... I meant,
Arsene Wenger.
Inconsistency: Ever
pondered why a team
would win a game by as
much as 5, 6 goals and
lose their next game with
a dismal performance and
not even to a better
team? Ponder no more,
it’s Arsenal. It’s become a
trademark for the North
London team. The
Gunners are more
confused than the wind or
should I say MTN.
Please don’t let your life
be that way. Be consistent
in success. Yeah, they
won 7-3 against
Newcastle, good! Let’s
pray they win their next
match.
Trophy-less in 8
seasons: As an adult,
living for eight years
without achieving a single
thing? Deliverance will be
advised.
“Next season” chants:
Arsenal fans are fond of
the “next season”
phrase. “Next season we
will win a trophy”. That is
something I call ”hopeful
hopelessness”.
You expect things to
change but you don’t
change the way you do
things...Are you a
learner? What are you
expecting... divine
intervention right? Keep
on waiting, it is coming.
Being contented with
finishing second, third or
fourth to the
champion: Wenger was
quoted to have said that
finishing fourth in the
league and securing a
Champions league spot is
better than winning the
league or FA cup. What
the heck
My brothers and sisters
please reject that for
your life. It is a loser’s
spirit straight from the pit
of hell. Why would you
always want to walk in the
shadows of a champion,
don’t you ever want to be
in that Hall of fame? Once
again, bind and rebuke
such spirit.
Buy inferior players and
expect Messiless delivery
from them: For goodness
sakes, Arsenal is the fifth
richest football club in the
world. THEY have the
money to spend on
Cristiano Ronaldo
(including his manicure,
pedicure and hair salon
expenses) if they want to.
But nooooo!!! They would
rather buy a “Chinko
blackberry and expect it
to ping”.In life, you are
expected to always go for
the best when the money
is there. Imagine Dangote
driving around in Gulf 2
(no offence to owners of
that cool ride...Just an
illustration) O_O.
Sell Gold and buy dozens
of Copper:Who does this
better than Arsene
self-servicer?...sorry once
again, I meant Arsene
Wenger.Everyman is
expected to have a good
taste for awesome things,
but the North Londoners
do exactly the opposite.
They sell craftsmen and
replace them with “make
believe” craftsmen (Van
Persie ? Giroud; Nasri ?
Gervinho; Fabregas ?
Ramsey; Song ?Arteta;
and many more). There
are other salient features
of the Emirates Stadium
club side but I’m done for
now. If you still deem it fit
to be a true and
passionate supporter,
good luck! As for me I
think I’ve had enough of
their loser’s instincts.
And if you think the Club’s
way of life is not affecting
the way you reason, think
again, because you need
to start reasoning like a
champion and not 2nd,
3rd, or 4th to nobody.
I’m club-less (a lil bit
attached to the ‘next
season’ club though) for
now...waiting for good
offers.
However, I’ve been
thinking Manchester City
and Real Madrid.
