Dimeji Lawal and Mutiu Adepoju na your brothers…Ibadan boys.

Mujtahida:
Me no too know these guys oo. I started ardently following SE in 94 as a boy. Before then I was scarcely interested in football. But I remember Saudi 89, especially the Daman Miracle. And I remember watching the match that Okwaraji slumped and later died.

I thought you are from Benue….well Dominic Iorfa and Moses Kpakor

Players who get rated before they have achieved anything often don't make it. A good dose of FAILURE is a great thing , because the admittance of FAILURE is the beginning of SUCCESS.

If a player foolishly believe the hype around him and looses focus, Discipline & Diligence. He will fail.

I personally have seen more naturally exceptionally gifted ⚽ footballers who didn't make it than those who did.

The best thing you can do is hard tough LOVE keeping saying you have not done NOTHING there is too much more to learn, but you are on the right path.

There is a player I know in a premier league academy at 14 he had the second fastest sprint record in the history of the academy at 14. He had snow played for England he has a youth contract, witu the three major sports companies begging to endorse him. Against everybody else I don't think he will make it. He believes he has arrived, he is arrogant and conceited and will not listen 👂🏿 to anybody.

Awoniyi has humility, selflessness , a willing heart to learn, hard work ethic crowned with FAITH. Very nice young man .
,

Yes I have seen talented players who failed to make it,players like Tarila Okoronwata,Clement Temile,Etim Esin,Duke Udi,Dodo Avaa and Ojokojo Torunigba.

Awoniyi is a complete gentleman that listens and ready to learn…during off season I told him o boy una plenty for striking role and he said getting call up alone is a blessing.

Omo igbomina re

Sighted

You are here shouting omo Igbomina and your lands are surrounded by Fulani with the backing of emir….

Nigeria don finished if kidnapping and killing is occurring in Kwara State but guess what the Emir and most useless Kwara governor in history of the state will not say anything,well Ifelodun is a Yoruba LGA so it’s cool to them..Fulani extension going

kendrick9:
And how were they doing with Osimhen before his injury?
This is their first loss in the league since his absence..
You guys can talk now after waiting for weeks

Napoli doing well or not,Osimhen is the talisman.I will not compare when Osimhen was in and not in the team cuz it’s baseless.

Berankis:
It's Defibrillator not defribillator!

Thank you for the correction.I corrected someone not knowing I got it wrong too

Barryseal:
Who is Uzoho's god father?

Goalkeeper will cost us again if Peseiro remains adamantly opposed to yearning of fans

charlesemeka85:
Tella scores

Good one but what happened to Union Berlin,remember some folks said Awoniyi moved to EPL was wrong.

charlesemeka85:
na mumu dem wey no sabi watch ball go tell you say na him be Forrest worst player

Who talk that kind thing…he has won Nottingham MOTM twice this season

jihday:
Awoniyi scores

Good goal after a bit drought and injury but Aina was too impressive,left for Peseiro to decide on Aina and Osayi.

Coolsat:
From this response it shows you are an enemy of truth if you boldly say " it always did" Accept your defeat just like other regions have been doing when the Kogi east retained power for over sixteen years. KogicentralLokan

Kai see average Nigerian thinking…no wonder we are in this messy political situation.

I thought with Yahaya,Ashiru and Fanwo Kogi state would be better but No,the worst state in Nigeria.

Congratulations Vincent Enyeama….bags honorary doctorate degree 📜 from University of Uyo in Kinetic and Physical Education

Amazing 11 trophies 🏆 Respect Mikel Obi

Oya old boys in the house…

La Liga

Almeria 1-3 Real Sociedad (Sadiq Umar)

I watched the first 45 minutes and he had a good game,nearly scored a screamer in the late minutes of first half.

guobe:
Some players even in Europe are playing with defrabulators.
Christen Ericsson is playing with a defrabulator at Manchester United.
You may not really blame him like that but it would have been better he quit to avoid the unforseen.

It is defibrillator not defrabulator.We have two types,implanted and wearable vests which boost function of heartbeat to stop cardiac arrest.

The two types have manual internal defibrillators ,manual external defibrillator,automatic external defibrillator(AED) which are seen in implanted cardioverter and wearable cardioverter defibrillator

Taiwo Awoniyi Was Not Part Of Golden Eaglets U-17 World Cup Plan - Manu Garba






Taiwo Awoniyi was the luckiest player in my FIFA U17 World Cup winning team in the UAE because he was not part of the screening exercise in Abuja and I already had a team camping in Calabar at Princeville Hotel Calabar made up of forty players and one day I flew from Calabar for a meeting at the NFF and I saw a clip of the then U15 national team match and in the clip, Taiwo Awoniyi scored a goal with the head and I just said coach Siji Olagunju should give me his number and I called, introduce myself as the head coach of the National U-17 team and told him to try and come to Calabar and fight for a place in the team.





When Awoniyi arrived at Calabar, the team doctor said why do I invite him because they were together in the national U-15 team and he was very slow and can't make it and I told him that I personally saw a clip of his game and invited him and that I want to watch him for some time and God willing, he made the team to the world cup.






Though he wasn't a first-team starter, when Success Isaac, the highest goal scorer in all the friendly games we played and at the AFCON U-17 tournament in Morocco got a hamstring injury while celebrating the goal he scored against Sweden in the group match at the world cup, Taiwo Awoniyi got his chance scored a goal with an assist and finished the world cup with 4 goals.






Taiwo Awoniyi was the main striker when we won the Super 6 Glo LMC Football Competition in Abuja 2015 defeating the likes of Enyimba, Kano Pillars, Warri Wolves, Dolphins, and National U-23, and was the main striker when we won the Afcon U20 Senegal 2015 trophy and Gold Medal and finished with 3 goals and some assist.





This story is a testimony of the development of Taiwo Awoniyi and why we have to believe in destiny whether good or bad. On a final note, I'm delighted to have played a great role in contributing to his development, and Biizinillah, the player can always get better for he is very hard-working, intelligent, calm, and disciplined.



Coach Manu Garba MFR

#naijaeagles #nigeriafootballfederation #nigeriafootball #SuperEagles #wahalafootball

Incredible

Yes not part of the screening but under 15 MVP during 2011 COPA Coca Cola tournaments in UK deserved invitation without screening.

He took Manu Garba to watch a clip based on recommendation but a team doctor who knows nothing about football said NO,he was too slow and imagined the same doctor was part of under 15 team to UK but tried to deny the MVP of the summer camp the opportunity,meaning many players have lost out due to external influences of back room staffs whose primary functions does not relate to coaching….Manu Garba should not have mentioned the doctor in his narration

Taiwo Awoniyi a slow player?NO but it looked like one,checking his sprinted goal runs against Arsenal and Man utd proved he is not a slow one.

The saving grace of Taiwo Awoniyi till dates is hardworking,commitment and discipline cuz he knew he was not rated.

Respect to Stephen Keshi who gave Awoniyi his first super eagles call up in December 2013 alongside Iheanacho and Alampasu.He said young man you are going places cuz you are strong but only harwork does it.

vowiski:
This is how Obi should have behaved .. he was telling Obedients to be calm

Obi is sensible or do you want him to cause wahala that was not existed in the north east,west and central during the election

Something is not clear about this picture

FaradayIQ:
Audio election, coward Mahmood yakubu and his fraudulent president who already knows who they will put there, until Nigeria decides not to be honouring this sham activity called elections, they will keep on fooling us, how can someone stand all the day inside sun and rain to vote and d vote won't can't, shame on this country.

My question always,why Atiku and Obi failed to tell the judges where their votes were stolen.Sometimes we need to come clear on this than been emotional.

I have seen APC,PDP and LP losing through courts just proves your case beyond reasonable doubt

Why not milky pap and kulikuli or Akara

Danielnino00:
Thesupernerd, Bascovanveli, Kog45, Thegoodjoe and Charlesemeka85, I'm waiting for you guys to acknowledge your participation in the nomination committee please.
Its important you indicate that you're available to participate in the process so we won't have a situation where the nomination thread will be inactive...

Thanks my good people here for the votes gathered by nominees it signifies the love, support and commitment.

Despite our differences in opinions and disagreements over football reasoning,we still came together to do the needful in love and understanding..kudos to you all

I don’t want anyone to see it as a rejection but for real representation of our interests here…Chief Icon4s and I(kog45) shared the same ideology and it would have been ideal if we are in a ten members committee

I want to step down for my brothers in diaspora,especially Kokmne or Joebie who are more regulars here,cuz they deserve a representative but left for great Danielnino00 to do the needful and find a replacement.

TUALE to all members here it shall be well with us….Success and grace will not elude us in our different endeavors IJN.

Respect to the house.

IDENNAA:
From nowhere you just called someone "ezi"
You have a mental illness or something ?

Pls Sir,”ezi”what is the meaning

Time to bury Mohbad and let’s the young ones learn from his mistakes….Listening to his peace track,kai star is gone

DABIGATRAN:
Etsako boy George Ilenikhena leading the attack tonight for Antwerp against Lazio in the UCL.
Alhassan Yusuf also in action for the Belgian club.

Porto vs Antwerp…

Joebie:
Haha I no know where this convo start. KC has a good SE record and Boniface has started will with SE.

Mod
Let me add that I expect Boniface to do better in a tournament proper.
.

Yes Boniface has the prospect

Joebie:
But he’s had only one start. I see where you are going. But what’s KC’s record in a tournament proper?

My point is,Iheanacho against São Tomé had wonderful assist and against Saudi he scored a lovely goal but Kokmne said he is basking in past glories and comparisons with Boniface should not arise based on the league but here am talking about super eagles.

Joebie:
Success is essentially a CF for 2 seasons now.

I think he was listed as attacking midfielder left/right and forward but as CF with 2 goals in the last two seasons and still getting games? what do you think

Joebie:
You can already rate him after 2 caps.

Here we are talking about Iheanacho 48 caps and 14 goals and Boniface with 3 caps against São Tomé,Saudi Arabia and Mozambique,hope you are getting my point.

Feintline:
Records are created to be broken.
That is why tinubu and his criminal gang are breaking every record of economy and country collaspe set by buhari.

Tinubu wotowoto no be here….world record broken and next is Tinubu…wahala Dey o

komekn:
So essentially you will pick a not in form player over high scoring outstanding player in higher league and club.

The basis of national team selection is consistent outstanding top performances for club and league in the HERE and NOW.

Not 🚫 past recent glories in the national team.

Teams improve because they pick the most outstanding consistent top 🔝 performing players CURRENTLY.

I will NEVER pick KC over BONIFACE.

Oga I don drop the mic….but are you saying Iheanacho getting into the team on past glories but I thought championship players are good enough
