Well she tried but I have seen women who did more than this for their husbands.

I have seen a very beautiful woman that went to construction site to work just for her family to eat.

I have seen a woman that went through hardship of ten years doing a lot of odd jobs to support her husband.

The issue between amuju pinick and davido is taking a new turn, Davido just replied amaju on Instagram.. dirty linen about to be washed outside..

Oh I saw the whole thing but really surprised such statements came out from Pinnick who should have allowed things to be done officially

Yes Davido messed up and to me he should be dealt with for failing to turn up for a show he was paid to perform.

Amaju bringing in Warri,Itsekiri,RMD,especially
Burnaboy to drive his point was wrong and this negate his personality as a public figure.

If Davido is behaving like kindergarten boy Amaju shouldn’t have turned himself to Adult boy.

Icon4s:
I can picture a diamond midfield formation from this, in a 4-2-3-1 formation . I would rather go for a creative attacking midfielder at the tip. I saw what Ndidi did today in the English championships but we know when it comes to the national team it is a different ball game. I will rather confine Ndidi to his traditional DM position.
cc: Mujtahida

Ndidi should just give us his best in DM position

bestplayermaver:
Nigerias should know that he was in aukland new Zealand representing Nigeria and want transpired between him and the organizers of warri again it only them that know anything could have happen want of burnaboy and wizkid that pullout on Ghana and SA and other countries so there are humans and humans to break down too you know and don't forget davido doesn't collect less than 600k dollars

Na so so hype…$600k the least money Davido Dey collect? Lie.

Amaju should attack Davido and stop bringing Warri or Itsekiri into issues….I don’t know that big man like Amaju can stoop so low bringing ethnic pride into issue like this and even mentioning Burnaboy,no wonder he left Nigeria football in tatters

princeabdul:
we're supposed to sit deep in this game and hit Argentina on the counter because we've got pacey forwards, Siasia ruined it.

Sir,apart from Bosso who beat Argentina in a competitive match,pls tell me any Nigeria coach that defeated Argentina,not friendlies.

It seems you don’t rate Siasia.

US 94 we lost
2002 WC we lost
2010 WC we lost
2014 WC we lost
2018 WC we lost

TheGoodJoe:

I count winning the silver and bronze medals in the Olympics as results.

Bonfrere won Olympic gold with Uche Okechucwu,Daniel Amokachie,Emma Amuneke,Sunday Oliseh,Victor Ikpeba(US 94 boys)and Tijani Babangida,Taribo West,Kanu Nwankwo,Wilson Oruma,Celestine Babayaro who are already Super eagles players but Siasia took a very young team and won Silver but no appreciation.

charlesemeka85:
after his tactical plunder against Guinea 🇬🇳 cost the team qualification to afcon 2011 Abi 2012

That match pain me enter bone marrow. I think the team needed a draw while the Guineans were gunning for 3 points to qualify

Guinea scored immediately the game started and nsofor equalized late in the first half

2nd half instead of siasia to be more conservative and defensive he took out 1 Abi 2 midfielders and brought in attackers which left the middle porous and the Guineans capitalized on it and scored a late minute goal to qualify 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fact,Eguavoen cost us the qualification to Afcon 2012 but Siasia got the blamed which was well understood.

US 94 we lost against Italy who are one man downed

2018 WC we lost to Argentina with few minutes remaining to round things up.

Sometimes things happens in football and a good coach learn from it.

Fact,opportunities Oliseh and Eguavoen got given to Siasia we would have seen a different eagles.

mank1234:
You're right. Just like Oliseh ran after seeing the hand writing on the wall. And today no one can accuse Oliseh of and Equaveon of any failure even though he had a hand.

Oliseh ran away or not,his style of play was the worst in super eagles history.

TheGoodJoe:

I count winning the silver and bronze medals in the Olympics as results.

Sir,no matter what you put out,some will never agreed with you on Siasia but fact remain he is a good coach that always find himself at a crossroads in super eagles.

ChrisKels:
Na quality baller wey injuries messed up

We didn’t see the best of Chinedu Obasi and Onyekachi Apam due to injuries.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, hence the expectations on him back then going on to be something big for Nigerian football but alas after 2008 Olympics where he won Silver AGAIN (following the U20 World Cup Silver in 2005), he just went into oblivion and failed to fulfill the prodigious talents he showed prior to Holland 2005.


Taiwo did good. He had a better career in Europe than most of the 2005 Class. Mikel was their brightest and most successful.

I loved that 2005 team.

Sanson Siasia did a good job with 2005 under20 and 2008 under23

ChrisKels:
Chinedu Obasi "Ogbuke"

Achara Layout boy.

Fine boy Ogbuke Chinedu.I rated him highly after Mikel

charlesemeka85:
another player I loved so much in that team was Onyekachi Apam

Tipped him for greatness in Europe but his career nosedived after series of career threatening knee injuries that later ended his career prematurely

He was even on the verge of joining epl side then Sunderland from Ligue 1 side Renne before he got injured, recovered and moved to MLS club Seattle Sounders but didn’t make any appearance in the league before retiring

Injuries do the guy bad thing. Very robust, fast and strong in 1v1 situations

Had the same no nonsense approach like CIV defender Eric Bailey

Onyekachi Apam a player I love to watch but injuries finished him.

TheSuperNerd:
Moses Simon with an assist for Nantes in Ligue 1 vs Strasbourg. They lead 2-0.

Simon now has 2 Goals, 4 assists in 8 Ligue 1 Games (8 starts).

But some want this guy out of eagles.

Nwamazi8:
Torunarigha, Aina and Onyedika are all out of the friendly matches due to injureies, 3 replacements have been lined up for them. I hope the replacements are Ifeanyi Matthew, Ebuehi and Ogbu

Yes Ogbu and Ebuehi but I want to see Nwakili as Onyedika replacement cuz I want to check something….

Happy birthday to Hailey Osimhen who clocked a year old

charlesemeka85:
It’s seem some players are unsure of playing the friendlies in Portugal due to injuries

Aina and Toru hv been ruled out, also it’s like onyedika had a knock yesterday playing in the UECL

Ogbu should be invited asap as Toru’s replacement

Ebuehi and Ogbu should replace Aina and Toru,and am seeing Ogbu breaking into the team but Ebuehi getting into Afcon team looks slim cuz Osayi and Aina are ahead.

Papi85:
spot on sir, have said this before that we shouldn’t be crying about not having a natural number 10 in the super eagles because that role is gradually fading off

Modern football requires more of a CAM ( a hybrid of An Attacking midfielder and a Central midfielder) who primarily functions more as a CM but more unique n versatile due to passing ability and creative spark he produces but not as adventurous and flamboyant like what we had in the 80s,90s and 2000s. Even some tacticians of late deploy them as B/B midfielders. Good examples are De Bruyne, Fernandez, Valverde, Muller, Mount, Bellingham etc While the less physical and pacy ones are dropped deeper as DLP the way Ancelotti used Pirlo who was a natural number 10 but had to be dropped deeper by the Italian tactician to detect play as well as control the tempo of how his team want to play

Football hv evolved so much and lost its spark compared to years back due to the lack of mercurial attacking midfielders who brings entertainment, artistry and creativity that feeds fans with much excitement.

Players like jay jay, laudrup, zizou,Totti, baggio , Platini just to mention few I can remember now would hv struggled in this era if they were still playing active football

Players of their talent and skills are mostly pushed to the flanks and also instructed to drop back to help fullbacks when the team is chasing possession unlike what was obtainable many years ago

Football is too mechanical now and mostly based on team work, speed and work rate

Oga Charles,the issue is not about natural 10 but our midfielders who have not been forthcoming with good performances in recent times

Let’s see what Fisayo will brings to the tables.

Papi85:
Igoh Ogbu makes UEL team of the week 🔥

Igbo Ogbu should be invited ASAP,am seeing him as another Ajibade Babalade a revelation in Senegal 92

AndSunGorilla:
Top notch recollections as usual!!!! Do you know where Ayo Ogunlana is up to now?

Ayo Ogunlana spent most of his life in Kaduna State and possibly still living in the north.

He made Nigeria team to Algier 90 as the oldest.In fact he made his eagles debut in 1981 but have Muda Lawal,Henry Nwosu and Ademola Adeshina to compete with.

Henry Nwosu and Ademola Adeshina made eagles at 17 years of age.Nwosu was barely 17 at Afcon 1980 and Adeshina 17 at Afcon 1982.

AndSunGorilla:
I thought Friday Ekpo was the king of free kicks.

Ayo Ogunlana was the real free kicks specialist.Imagine scoring 12 free kick goals in a season…Friday Ekpo was a good midfielder who does his things with ease but lost out to young Sunday Oliseh in eagles.

He played for Abiola Babes,Leventis United but remembered his performance for Iwanyawu Nationale against El setif of Algeria in 1988 cup winners cup.He later joined Shell fc of Gabon and returned home to play for Mobil Pegasus.

We have some individuals records that NFF failed to appreciate in local league like the highest number of clean slates recorded by any keeper in Nigeria league which belonged to Lateef Yusuf of old 3sc,played 11 straight league matches.

AndSunGorilla:
Charlee and Nwakali no dey make you laugh?

Haa Nwakali just need to settle Charles o 😆

TheSuperNerd:
Kaaaaiii... Agba Historian🙌🙌🙌 Me only sabi 3 faces for dis lineup. I know most names you called but their faces, I no sabi. 😂😂😂

You nailed 10 out of 11 like it is nothing. Chisos!!! 🙆🏾🙆🏾

Elder Kog, you are indeed a grand custodian of the halls of experience in this thread.

I hail!!!

Thanks Doctor for the accolades.Do not worry I will pip your Dad Icon4s next time.

AndSunGorilla:
Ba only Andrew Uwe and Rashidi Yekini I get correct o. I sabi all the names but couldn't matthe name with the faces as per say na Binatone black and white I take use watch them. But Andrew Uwe tall o, what really happened to him, he fizzled out. Also Ben Iroha and Ogunlana no dey the picture?

Andrew Uwe a very tall player and handsome dude.

He was undergraduate student of University of Ife now OAU and still played the game in local league.He was a strong player of Nigeria league revolutionaries Leventis United that won FA cup as division three club.

He captained Nigeria U20 team to Moscow 85.Uwe was a product of Jossy Lad in local scenes and Paul wonder boy Halmiton in National Team and captained Super eagles under Paul Halmiton.

He was member of Nigeria Seoul Olympic team and Marco 88 where he fitted in for Stephen Keshi cuz Keshi was in and out of the tournament due reluctance of Anderlecht to release him fully.Keshi played just two matches and both against Cameroon in group stage and final.

Andrew Uwe fizzled out after Algier 90 due to Uche Okechucwu rise and returned of Stephen Keshi.Also Westerhoff didn’t rate him cuz Ajibade Babalade and Isaac Semitoje are real covers despite playing in Nigeria league.

Andrew Uwe was a charismatic captain just like Stephen Keshi and always seen as Keshi successor but failed to make it in Europe.

Yes Ben Iroha and Ayo Ogunlana are squad players just like Toyin Ayinla,they are always on bench in Algier 90.

Ayo Ogunlana of Rancher Bees remained the best Nigeria free kicks taker,he does it like taking penalties.

Apple are a marketing genius. They repacked iPhone 8 and called it the SE and their sheep's fell for that scam

Next they repacked iPhone 5s and called it 14 and their followers also fell for the scam

Just brace yourself for the next scam they about to pull off this year.

They are marketing genius according to you but you see nothing in iPhone.Simple innovation brings success,asks car brand like BMW that produces a model lasting five years,e.g BMW 3 series 1999-2005.

AndSunGorilla:
Space-based on proximity to the goal is what am saying sir and he was.close to the six yard box. Yes Victor was in a better position but Kvara too wasn't in a bad position either. Except as someone said maybe if he's left footed.

We are perfectionists watching the game live

TheSuperNerd:
Not today. His birthday was yesterday.

October 3 is his birthday not 4th.

My bad….well,all the same happy birthday to Iheanacho.
