Governor of Kwara State AbdulRahman must be a shameless human being cuz yet to commission Tanke overpass in Ilorin is an eye shore but went to Lagos and accompanied Sanwo Olu to open new overpass.

Ifeanyi Udeze and Taye Taiwo failed to cut in EPL and their transferred looked similar to Sanusi possible transfer to West Ham.

How can a big man like Okoye married Iyabo Ojo,and so comfortable with her as his wife with all these dramas.

Another senseless man is Adekaz who turned himself so low doing skit with Mercy Aigbe,I just don't understand some men o.

It was even stated that Emmanuel Dennis is hot-headed player, is it true?

Yes right from his academy days in Ilorin with KFA but a good player though really surprised seeing him on the list.

don't write off the super eagles in this upcoming afcon . The super eagles team tend to do better when you underrate them most especially when they are in the same group with the host of the tournament. 2013 super eagles team squad that won the afcon last for Nigeria has no individual quality compare to this current super eagles squad. Apart from Vincent Enyeama, John Mikel and Victor Moses in that super eagles squad that won the afcon in 2023

Yes you are right Mikel,Moses and Enyeama.and we saw Emenike/Ideye super combo....unknown Mba came from no where...Oboboana and Omeruo the two rookies pushed Yobo to the bench...Onazi worked his socks off for the team.

Yes we have players but do we have a team?hope Peseiro raise his tactical knowhow and gives us balance team.

Kai the man sojourned in UK and US was a replica of my uncle who wasted over 25 years in US,came home with sickness and dead in the hands of his wife and children that he left for 25 years.

BascoVanVeli:
Let's stop all this stuff and call it what it is. Maduka was ducking invitations while Francis showed his face for better or worse. I don't know of any coach on this planet that will pick a player he can't rely on

Maduka went AWOL and his move to Udinese didn't help him,just a match this season,well Uzoho always available despite his fumbling and wobbling performance.

AndSunGorilla:
Haha!!!! But I don't want my wife to be more than 10 years younger than me, since she and Taiwo are 26. She's too young for me.

Pretty girl, I pray she gets married very very soon too if she hasn't already. I can see the bond between them, really amazing. Me too I have a boy girl twin, my boy is the Taiwo and the girl Kehinde too.

Baba Ibeji epo be ewa be....Yoruba culture na beans Una go dey chop for house o....well my immediate brothers are twins too,so I be Egbon Ibeji.

Remaining K1, Osupa Saheed, Muri Thunder and Obesere to roundup the squad

K1 was invited by CCC of Isreal Oladele three years ago and it was massive even than this one.....K1 first others follow in Fuji and CCC collaborations.

Guess who! Taiwo and Kehinde Awoniyi and AndSunGorilla oya come take your wife o

Cleaner job wey guys dey do for abroad use am build houses,buying cars and anytime on vacation dey enjoy themselves giving little money to friends na you dey rubbish like this....this is the issue with Nigerians we always looking down on people doing menial jobs and they are better than fake and packaging liars living lowlife pretending that they are better.

Well,to the cleaner,pls try and save more and have better education to support yourself

Orban deal to Franfurt off but Marseille interest is gaining momentum!

Hope he moves this time

Ikpeba and Amuneke won APOTY but do we ever compare them with Jayjay Okocha?NO
Osimhen need to win Afcon and take Nigeria to WC then we can talk about him being one of the bests.....Osimhen has done much for Napoli than Nigeria,so Nigerians are waiting for him.

Icon4s:
Willie Okpara never really had a good goalkeeping career. That world cup was at least a step too high for him.

I disagree Sir,am a huge fan of Peter Rufai and rated him highly than Emma Okala but Bora goofed for recalling Rufai back.Willy Opara deserved eagles number one after Ike Shorunmu last club match injury......Okay,can you say 2002 WC was a step too high for Enyeama or Uzoho in 2018 WC who can only boasted of two LA liga matches

Icon4s:
For 1994 WC Rufai, though had past his prime, was still a better option than Agbonavbare. Remember Rufai was in goal for the AFCON a few months earlier.

Sir,Rufai at that time was not better than Agbonavbare.In fact Wilfred was very active in LA liga with Rufai struggling with no show for Lokeren and later Beveren.It was super eagles goalkeeper trainer that recommended Rufai for Go Ahead eagles and Rufai had just 12 appearances prior to WC.

Wilfred lost his number one for no reason.I had this discussion with Westerhoff and he said fans love for Rufai was damn too much and clamoring for him was overwhelmed.This forced him to have another goalkeeper trainer who was saddled with responsibility to decide between Rufai,Agbonavbare and Agu and the man picked Rufai.

Going by what Agbonavbare did during qualifiers he deserved to continue as number one cuz he was a top notch especially against Algeria.

AndSunGorilla:
100% correct. I think Westerhoff helped him get a club in Netherlands after the ANC Go Ahead Eagles or so. It was Agbonibasket during the qualifiers and he was brilliant in helping us secure qualification especially against Algeria in the last game. Algeria had nothing to play for yet they wan pour sand sand into our Gari then.

Yes baba you sabi

Icon4s:
Yes, Rufai had to be called back because Abiodun Baruwa that we had hoped upon had a disastrous series of Pre-world cup friendlies. Agbonavbare was not even in the picture as he was already loosing form and gaining serious weight.

1994 WC not France 98...My point then,no reason for dropping Agbonavbare for Rufai based on his performance during US 94 WC qualifiers.If you remember Rufai was not even in the picture during qualifiers.

AndSunGorilla:
I 100% agree with you. I think Rufai shouldn't have come out of retirement for the 98 WC. He did very well at the 94 WC though.

I watched Rufai in Afcon 84 in Ivory Coast and he was phenomenal,losing to Cameroon in the final was partly cuz he was not available,also his Maroc 88 performance was rated as the best.…Rufai performance in this two Afcon was better than 94 Afcon and US 94 WC.....my point the best of Rufai was 1983-1989 though he came back in 1994 but Rufai of 80s was the koko.

Marjoribanks:
This write up is an insult to Rufia.
It is like saying AFCON 94 semi finals and finals exposed Yekini too. Missing sitters upon sitters against Ivory Coast and Zambia. It was the same Rufai that saved our blushes in that Semi finals penalty shoot out!
At the World Cup apart from his goal against Bulgaria Yekini did nothing else. Even missed a sitter in extra time against 10 men Italy. I can't forget that miss. Worse than Yakubu's miss against Korea!

Chief icon4s will understand my point better cuz we discussed on how Rufai came back and took over from Agbonabvre who did nothing wrong.

Chief icon4s was of opinion that Rufai deserved number one but I was of opinion that Wilfred should have remained number one.

I'm talking about Rufai not Yekini here sir.

AndSunGorilla:
Egbon different topic, the apala song wey Osimehn dey song. That boy dey talk to someone , who is that pelson?

Uzoho finds a GK he can boast against

Icon4s:
Julius Aghahowa with his trademark finish.
Peter Rufai with his trademark goal concession (the first goal). Rufai don turn akpere finish
Jayjay Okocha with his trademark freek-kick. Golden era footballers indeed.

On a normal day, when these two teams met back then na War!

Remember Chief we had this conversation regarding Peter Rufai….The best of Rufai was 1982-1989…Rufai of 1990 - 1996 was struggling but goalkeeper trainer then did a good job…Rufai of 1996-1998 was off totally.

Wilfred Agbonavbare was instrumental for our 1994 WC qualification and did nothing wrong but Nigeria fans don’t want to see Agbonavbare in goal even kids then who didn’t know the reason why he was called Agbonibasket hate seeing him in goal posts.

Agbonavbare against all odds from nowhere was doing it in La liga and this forced Westerhoff to invite him and did well but was later relegated to the bench for no reason.

Rufai came and got number one back but Afcon 94 semi final and final exposed Rufai but the goalkeeper trainer then did a good job by instructed that all the tall players must be inside box during corner kicks to avoid Afcon mistakes and it worked out during WC.

After 1994 WC Rufai was done but injury to Ike Shorunmu brought Rufai back and the love fans had for Rufai was huge.1998 WC really messed up Rufai career….so what you saw in ex internationals match was Rufai of 1998.

ChrisKels:
When was the last time a Ghanaian won APOTY? I don't think Essien or Gyan ever won it.

That was 1992 by Abedi Ayew Pele who also won it 1991.

Ghana also won it in 1971 by Sunday Ibrahim of Ashante Kotoko and 1978 by Karim Abdulrazaq of Ashate Kotoko.

Real deal now is winning Afcon and qualified for WC cuz not making it,nobody is going to care about winning APOTY.

Okada691:
how you nor to refund Wetin you nor get, Osimhen was never yours in the first place

Easy my brother…wetin gan self,una wahala too much here o……na sin for Edo man to be hailed in language he understands pass.

I have seen a Yoruba man wey sabi Igbo language than Yoruba language.He was born and raised in Onitsha in Anambra and mind you his parents are Yoruba not that his mother is Igbo.

My immediate brother children don’t even know how to communicate in Yoruba language but Bini cuz they spent most of their time with their maternal grandmother who is from Edo State.

I have cousins who are Yoruba but can’t communicate in the language cuz they are brought up in the northern states and only way you can enjoy communicating with them is Hausa language.

Go to Ilorin and ask for Agaka and Edun area,you will be marveled to see Igbo boys speaking in real Ilorin dialect which everybody knows as (FA)

Victor Osimhen is Edo by parents but Lagos by birth so expect him to be versed in Yoruba,recently I saw him singing APALA music which most Yoruba indomie generation cannot sing.

Victor Osimhen in Apala music groves….dis guy na street o.

Oh and we all forgot to celebrate Chiamaka Nnadozie the best goalkeeper in Africa women soccer

How many years back 🔙 and when did I start rating them.

RATINGS are not static but continuous going up and down. Last years performance is not enough to to give you standing this year, you must perform consistently in the present continuous not past.

I've known Tosin since he was 15 at Manchester city up close and personal. He was a skinny gangly kid decent on the ball ,tall fast but not physical.

In 2018 he went WBA on loan he was good but not exceptional then he went to Blackburn 2019 he had developed, it was when I saw him bully my preferred player Dominic Iorfa and score. He was now a man a complete beast and much much better than Dominic that's when I said he needs to be signed sealed and delivered for the SE. Check my post at the time.

So are you saying I should have been clamouring for Tosin when he was gangly skinny teenager who had not played first team football ⚽. To play in the SE, when his development was not complete.

You don't come into the SE to develop it's not youth football you come to show what you have in the HERE and NOW.

Fikayo I had known not very well at Chelsea seem him at Brighton and Hull and he was at that time poor and unimpressive. He was 19 playing RB for Hull alongside Aina. I watched him up close and personal against Burton Albion and he was not good enough at THAT TIME.

Fast forward to 2018 playing for Derby County as a CB Fikayo had become a man Dude was exceptional and the best CB in the championship that season. I starred saying he needs to be capped NOW when he was at Derby before England notice him. Some said he is too low playing in the Championship,etc

So once again should I be rating him as a SE player when in my opinion he is not exceptional and had not developed. Once again it has to be in the HERE and NOW or by future speculation.❓

I have higher expectations it may seem for the SE only outstanding players in the HERE and NOW in club and league.

Thats why if you don't attain quality I stop talking about you, there is no time to wait you find someone who is.

My post is simple and you should have understand it better.

I did that post to let people who always thinking that hardly you see Kokmne not rating English Nigeria born and some are indeed surprised.

I knew some here would have said is kog knew what he was saying “Kokmne didn’t rated Adarabioyo and Tomori” but fact you didn’t rated them but they came good.

Hope you get it Sir.

The fact that some of them won’t own up and apologize makes it pretty difficult for themselves.

Why is it so hard to say, oh I misjudged this player when he was evolving but now I have seen, he’s highly gifted and everyone will move on.

These are issues and it affect one’s life if one failed to accept that am wrong.

I will not deceive you I didn’t rated Taribo West but he proved me wrong.In the mid to late 80s I thought Siasia should be our CF ahead of Yekini but I got it wrongly.

Yes not rating player at his formative ages should not be an issue but one must accept that Oh I got it wrong if such player becomes good.
