You just sum it up with your last paragraph, i believe that's the reason behind this initiative by Oga icon, most time newbie come here to use subtle ways to ask what is the end product of the discussion we normally have here. But with this initiative(this should be the second year and this year look to be very interesting) we should be able to drag their attention here. I applaud Oga icon4s for this.
Honestly,I just have to quote you upon seeing the Newbies mentioning in truth.

And as a newbie with less than a month initiation and experience in here, I have already summed up my conclusion about some monikers here in relation to their personalities though.

Above all, I want to state that we should always bear at the back of our minds that when contributing in here, we should do so with utmost importance, passion and seriousness the discuss here deserves like one would do in a face to face round table organizational deliberations.

Why did I state the above?

Simple!

It's because of the reference made by Humility017 with respect to the NFF officials developing interest in visiting this thread for the purpose of picking up meaningful advise and suggestions that would help in reshaping and moulding a new direction for Nigerian football and its development.

But how won't they get put off by unnecessary, unproductive and baseless arguments and counter argument?

Because if not for my passion for sports and football in particular, I would have for long deserted the thread already without mincing words.

Is that how we want them to feel, summed up and act accordingly too whenever they visited for the first time?

Thereby giving them the impression that here is also No different from each and every other online football community they have visited or ascribed to?

I want to implore all and sundry to ponder on this post, reflect positively and have a great change in attitude with respect to our existence in here accordingly please

I rest my case wholeheartedly.

English FA is a subset of fifa and didn't make the fifa rule

their modification is only binding on their own league and we can all see how screwed up the refereeing in the EPL has turned to due to this oversabi act which can't be compared with other top leagues in Europe.
I'm not saying the EPL is not a mess due to the change they made against FIFA's stipulation

But just to point out how rules can be reviewed and changes effected at any given opportunity just like they are about to sit again on Thursday to amend their rules again.

Hence my decision to include those 2 reference links on the post I copied you on just like CAF also rescinded it contractual decision with Multi choice probably after discovering the monopolistic nature of Multi choice/DSTV/SUPERSPORT

And Maduka isn't an SE material yet.
Very well thought out.

Maybe be he should be used like the legendary NWANKWO KANU rather than playing in the striking position that he is being deployed to.in the National Team-The Super Eagles even though that's his club position.


Okoye should have been part of the U 23 first since he is still 19.

Your comment is not exactly relevant.

Because the comments were in a general context, not too specific players.

There is hardly any club in the EPL, Championship down to league one that does not have a number of Nigerian teenage players or older in England.

That's just England if you go to Europe you will find quite a few as well.

Clubs will not hold back youth players going yo play for Nigeria particularly those just on the fringe of first team football.
I totally disagree with you on this.

you are not new to this same controversy in the past over the release of African Players by Foreign club sides for CAF organized National Assignments like Qualifiers if not Organized competition.

And that is part of the reason why CAF itself decided to effect changes to the AFCON schedules from Even years to ODD ones as well as moving it now to during Seasonal breaks or what We call pre-season time frame.

As well as streamlining some of the Qualifiers to coincide with the international FIFA breaks or windows.

I'm very sure you are fully aware of this. So how is my input irrelevant please.

Heartland coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu wants VAR in NPFL.

I personally think there are more pressing issues to address in the league.
Morocco became the first African country to employ the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in its domestic matches.

The technology was first used in the continent in the Africa Cup of Nations in June from the quarter-finals onwards, and various countries were said to be keen on employing the technology in local leagues. 

Morocco became the first to use the technology in the local Throne Cup semi-finals match between TAS Casablanca and Difaa El Jadida that was played on Saturday.

Casablanca won the match 1-0 in extra time after regulation time failed to yield a winner.

Last week, a committee from the International Football Federation Board (IFAB) visited the Marrakech Stadium to look at the VAR set-up.

Mikel Obi is far from a flop though.. He is not in the category of Latallec and Pongolle.

He achieved everything in world football and played an active role in Chelsea's achievements.

Most Nigerians wanted him to develop into an attacking AM but he was developed as a DM and he was a very good one.
Very well

This is inaccurate, Mikel was not used sparingly. He has 372 caps in 11 years. This is despite being frozen out by conte gor playing in the Olympics.That is not being used sparingly. He was instrumental in the biggest chelsea achievement.
Maybe my use of the word sparingly was because I was expecting too much from him because of his status at end of the championship though.

Because for sure, I remember when CHELSEA Fans would always criticize him for his incessant back pass rather than moving forward.

Well, He is not alone in that by the way as the French duo of ANTHONY TALLEC and SINAMA PONGOLLE that defeated NIGERIA in FIFA U 17 finals also became flops

Just like the supposed AUSTIN JJ OKOCHA'S replacement in VICTOR BROWN also became a flop too.

Mikel and taiwo where dominant, messi is just a different player bro ok
Well, I might not be wrong after all because IKEDIA and AGHAHOWA never won any major award during their time neither did JOSEPH YOBO

Nor were they even part of the Best 20 players in the tournament

But MIKEL (John Michael Nchekwube Obinna) and TAIYE TAIWO were the second and third Best of the entire Players on parade in 2005 FIFA U 20 WORLD CUP

Unless you have personally spoken to at least 10 clubs and they have all said to you that they will not release thier players.

How therefore did you arrive at that conclusion.

There are a lot of U21 players on the fringe of first team football but far from regulars that will be easily released if asked. I am talking about EPL, Championship and league 1 clubs in England.

Can l ask how many clubs you have personally spoken too that made you arrive at that deduction. Or have you just used your imagination.huh ❓huh ❓

Nigeria is not so desperate and devoid of talent that we have to use a players who has not played competitive football for near 10 months.

IMO
I think to some extent, He is right actually because it was due to club commitment that lead to AWONIYI and one other missed the opener against COTED'IVOIRE.

And they are to feature against SOUTH AFRICA and ZAMBIA in the next 2 matches because of international break since they are not invited to the SUPER EAGLES for the AFCON QUALIFIERS.

Bros! You simply don't live your moniker in reality though.

Just look at the EPL as at today.

FIFA made a decision to implement the VAR in football related matters but the English stakeholders felt because of unnecessary time wasting, EPL center referees shouldn't go check out the pitch side monitors themselves before making final decisions initially

But because of the overwhelming controversy the VAR judgement has generated, that decision is to be reversed by Thursday as can be seen from the below

https://www.nairaland.com/5521265/var-referees-chief-mike-riley

So, what I am saying like several others is that the right things can be rightly done by changes at times just like CAF has decided to cancel an existing contract because of marketing and media right involving SUPERSPORT/Multi choice broadcast of its contents also in the below

OK maybe,.
but if the association of retired referees in the VAR room can not see an error or make a correct decision that 60% of football fans will agree with then I don't think it would effect any change if one man will decide
VAR is not being handled by retired referees actually and that is why they usually show the VAR officials before every kick off though.

What would happen is that, If there is a controversy, rather than relying solely on the VAR officials speaking with the center referees, they instead actually go View the monitor themselves since the center referees have the final say in football just like they usually overrule their assistants on the sidelines

Well, I am not getting carried away. From my personal observation ( I might be wrong), the NPFL usually have some away wins at the beginning of the season but then getting to the latter part of the campaign ( when teams gets desperate), those away wins gradually dries up.
I hope this season is different though.
You are quite on track actually because I can't agree with you less.

But things could be different again by the time the NPFL returns to live telecast for some matches and others on delayed broadcast on Multi choice like before
