Celestine

I want us to give fair assessment to our judgments regarding the trio.

Ben Iroha was a solid member of Westerhoff era and did so well.He has below Europe career.He won Afcon and had two WC appearances.What could have been his best tournament was marred with injury and Mike Emenalo step in.He had 50 caps and a goal.

Celestine Babayaro remain the best talking of European career.He played for Anderlecht,Chelsea and Newcastle.He played in two WC and was a regular member of eagles in the late 90 to mid 2000 with Afcons appearances.But I will rate his super eagles career average 27 caps and a goal.

Taye Taiwo would have been the best Nigeria LB.He started well with Marseilles but his transfer to AC Milan ruined his progression and he never recovered from it.He played in a WC and had Afcon appearances.He had good eagles career with 54 caps and 8 goals.

My submission,based on Europe career I gave it to Celestine Babayaro…..On trophy I gave it to Ben Iroha cus he was part of eagles that was ranked 5th in the world…..Ranking Taye Taiwo the best eagles LB would bring debate but If he was part of 2013 Afcon team he would have been adjudged the best cuz having 54 caps with 8 goals showed how solid he was with eagles.

I hope to see emerging talent that will break Iroha,Babayaro and Taye records in eagles.

Oya pick the best LB.

This Ibrahim Olawoyin is really doing great with Rizespor. Maybe it's time to have him in the mix.
And I wonder why the maestro Fisayo Bashiru cannot pull his team out of relegation zone.

Midfielder or winger

TheGoodJoe:
No. The discussion is which competition is bigger.

I am telling you the U17 is a bigger competition. It is not a strictly Nigeria competition.

The stars it produces shows the class of the competition.

Okay U17 is a bigger competition regarding NPFL but not bigger competition comparing to other leagues in Europe,South America,Saudi league even South Africa league?

Sugarboyy:
Oga you are jobless
DM whichever nairalander you feel can help you and get yourself a job and stop constituting nuisance over this cyber space. Why man go just they argue one particular topic for days non stop? You reason am Na, such make sense to you as a man?

Pls Sugar baba don’t go to that lane na football discourse nau,so normal thing here.Pls.

TheGoodJoe:

I did not use only one criteria. Tell me world stars from NPFL that are bigger than World stars of the U17. I also used the kind of prizes given to the U17. They get houses in Abuja and more.

The issue here is U17 bigger than NPFL? not houses or kind of prizes.Do you say England U17 or U20 WC winning team is bigger than EPL winner,and funny you are bringing European league winners parade as your point.

Pls who are the world stars from U17?okay Osimhen,Chuckwueze,Iheanacho,Awoniyi,Nwakalis,Uzoho…

NPFL star Amunike gave us Afcon 94

NPFL Amunike scored the winning goal Atlanta 96

NPFL Sunday Mba gave Afcon 2013

NPFL Rashidi Yekini scored Nigeria first WC goal

NPFL Ahmed Musa scored 4 WC goals

NPFL Richard Owubokiri won Europe highest goal scorer

NPFL Enyeama clean sheets record in French league

NPFL Finidi,Kanu and Mikel won Champions league

NPFL Yekini,Kanu,Amunike and Ikpeba won APOTY.

TheGoodJoe:
The campaign was sponsored against Amunike and the only people that has something to gain from that campaign were those who announced Finidi. To the best of my knowledge, you said you did not know there was a campaign against Amunike. I showed you an example. So I don't know what you want me to do. Call the journalists and bloggers to ask them the list of their sponsors?

Pls tell us NFF members who campaigned against Amunike,that’s my question.

TheGoodJoe:
Shows you the magnitude. No better parade for Npfl or reception. But the U17 gets big reception.

Finito.

Falcon WAFCON is bigger than NPFL. cuz of presidential reception Abi no be so

TheGoodJoe:
Which question?

My question,you said NFF campaigned against Amunike and I asked you to show me the evidence but what you brought up as evidenced didn’t implicated NFF.

TheGoodJoe:
Who else? That was a media campaign against the favorite for the job the same time when a lesser qualified person got it.

Sir you haven’t answered my question.

Amedino99:
they said against

Thank you

TheGoodJoe:
A bit.

My question,are you saying NFFs were behind the news.

TheGoodJoe:

I don't understand. Amunike should keep quiet while the NFF lie and smear his name all over. Amunike has no issues with Finidi and he has likely called him to congratulate him.

But the series of evil propaganda against Amunike was because they knew they were robbing him and Amunike is right to let people know that they were sponsored lies. It is very wrong to keep quiet in such situation.

Sincerely I don’t know that NFF members were campaigning against Amunike cuz I never read any in news.Pls give me references..

jihday:
Amunike only joined ahead of the Ghana game and Nwakali wasn’t part of the squad

Thank you for the correction

Emmanuel Amunike should have congratulated Finidi George and move on instead of this statements.

I knew it would be difficult getting the job with Eguavoen as head of technical team.After Ghana match Amunike went to press,saying he didn’t know much about the team selection whereas it was he that recommended Nwakali for Afcon 2022 and Eguavoen accepted.

Emma should know more about coaching,it’s a circle job cuz we have seen Stephen Keshi,Austin Eguavoen,Siasia,Oliseh and Finidi now,so he should calm down.He will surely coach the team if he brings his ego down.

Amedino99:
so who now updated his Wikipedia page to add super eagles assistant manager for 2024 ?

Wikipedia read assistant super eagles coach 2021-22 not 2024

do4luv14:
It OK Sir, let's support Finidi to suc9on the Job,

but you see that Oga humble??, if he came with that his hogwash again, am here for him

Good beautiful morning Sir

Good morning dobaba….Oga humility na our own u supposed sabi him wella

Icon4s:
For me Amuneke was the most qualified for the job even though different people may have different reasons for not wanting Amuneke.

Well, Finidi has been appointed, we can only support and wish him well.

As for my silence, yes I may be silent on most of the issues but I usually read almost all comments. Really been engaged with so many activities but my love for this big family still strong gidigba. I will try my best

Chief,Amunike na your secondary school senior so is a must for you to support your old boy…..what goes for Finidi was just the assistant to Peseiro,nothing more.He accepted to be assistant when Amunike said No.

Amunike time will surely come but he need to get a club ASAP.

typicalgamer:
Are you high ?

What is lmao stop wallowing on ignorance they may not have the best players but thier
Facilities.
Fans.
Salary
League and entire board as a whole is at least 10 years ahead of ours

If the opportunity arises do you think our boys won’t desert Npfl for South Africa

Not only on football even as a nation.I have been to South Africa twice and I want to say structurally they are ahead in every sectors,so not a news.

Didier Drogba said something about South Africa and you said the same thing.Drogba said he was surprised that despite finances and facilities countries like Nigeria,Ivory Coast and Senegal are still ahead of South Africa in Africa football development.

comodo:
Finidi is d coach. I keep wondering how the fans support will help him to succeed. The buck stops at his table. He selects d players, he decides the formation. He makes d sub. All na him by himself. He d better prove doubters like me wrong. Importantantly make him shave that beards wey him dey like wicked village uncles.

That’s it my brother

TheGoodJoe:
The same Npfl that some age grade boys participated in Super sick oe so and were flogging them like Christmas tolo-tolo. 🤣

Oga thegoodjoe Tuale baba😜make we kuku turn our discussion to comic relief……Finidi or Amunike it’s well o

charlesemeka85:
for the nff’s technical committee that comprise of few of his ex team mates not to recommend him says it all

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The only advantage Finidi had over Amunike was being assistant coach to Peseiro and if one look at the limited time then technical committee members were right in their decision but I thought Amunike rejected idea of assistant to Peseiro.

TheGoodJoe:
We won U17 and the presidency host them and give them things because of the magnitude of the achievement.

Finito.

😀

do4luv14:
How is playing 3 games losing 1 and drawing 2 poorly

It will do you a lot of good to stop trying to Susan's pull another person down, on what you had no Idea about

Even Finidi was rated poor winning one losing one.

Na here Finidi vs Amunike Dey hot o,fans don accept na to support Finidi.

TheGoodJoe:

I believe the U17 World Cup is bigger than the NPFL. Also,.coupled with the stars that came from it. You guys always want to call NPFL but don't want Amunike's own mentioned. Also, Amunike was part of the back room staff that delivered the 2013 U17.

Amunike has all Finidi can present and far more. The only thing Finidi has Amunike does not have is NPFL. But Amunike has loads that qualifies him ahead of Finidi.

Finito.

U17 WC is not bigger than any division one league….tournament of 15 to 17 years old bigger than men league?

Finidi just need to tell us he can do it by qualifying us for WC or else he lose it.I know Amunike time will surely comes but I would like Amunike to be involved with any top NPFL team.

TheGoodJoe:
You don't even know much about this. You didn't even know coaches write theses and even told us it was a multiple choice exam program. So stop making yourself a guru. You don't know Amunike and Finidi George personally to tell us who is corrupt or not. You are just talking with your full chest about something you have no idea about.

Amuneke Dey collect developmental fees nau but Finidi I don’t know how far but trust Nigerians they would have unearthed him if he had any illegal dealings.

Like Osayi Like Nwabali…..Nwabali wan kill Supersports player in PSL match.

BascoVanVeli:
