Shettima will deal with Tinubu, watch and see how things unfolds.

Tinubu da DON...Shettima too small..My man Tinubu Dey craze o when it comes to power play but presidential election still get court case sha

It is only a daft that would think a divided PDP forming LP,NNPC and real PDP with five strong governors playing anti party will defeat united APC....The moment PDP allowed Obi to leave and refusal of Kwankwaso to join Obi gave Tinubu the needed advantage.

It should be another way around,

Rogers was biased toward the 2 of them, and more than once had caused the team games,

So he getting sack is for the good of the duo and Club,

Much Ado to a genius indeed

Biased toward Ndidi? I think it's Iheanacho.

Danielnino00:
Exactly. Pinnick made most of these appointments on his own accord. Saying stuffs like Wenger recommended this and Mourinho recommended that..
I wonder where he got that recommendation to appoint that PHE coach Randy from

PHE coach?one thing I noticed about coaching is ability to understand the game.I can mention some monikers here who are born coaches, all they need to do is to enroll in NIS ...The man that gave Vincent Enyeama,Austin Ejide,and Dele Aiyenugba national team breakthrough is PHE coach with university of Ilorin

Boss it is possible if you have a good credit rating . I am not in the USA but I have heard people saying it that buying a house in the USA is very very very easy . She doesn't even need to pay it all up . Her bank will finance the whole payment and she may be given like 30 to 20 years to be paying back small small. And the good thing is even while she is still repaying and the property increases in value ,she can sell it ,pay back the loan and buy another one and if there is even any left over balance they will even give it to her.

Are you US based? NO, Oga sir, $1.6m house in USA haba make we dey reason small small.

Haha $1.6m house in USA which kind news be this... and my people on nairaland believed this news

I don't knew of Dare wanting Emma, buh the process leading to JP appointment was largely debated here after our Afcon ouster,

Don't like digging up, would had gone down and bring it up,

it is well sir

Dare didn't want Peseiro and told Pinnick need to have interview for all applicants but Amaju led NFF already made up on Peseiro.Dare was adviced not to involve cuz sport ministry have limits when it comes to NFF. As you said Amaju made mistakes on coaching appointments but on Peseiro time will tell may be we are on the right path.

Several Universities in Nigeria are making bread and water. Announcing it was probably 5heir only mistake

Yes you are right.As a secondary school boy i ate university of Ilorin bread and I graduated from the same school many years ago

What a shame.University of Ilorin bakery was established over 36 years ago,may be the bakery is still functioning I don’t know and LASU is celebrating a bakery,not surprising if a rich state like River celebrating remodeling of a secondary school then LASU tried o

🤔

Make we just relocate to Morocco and be playing our home matches but Tunisia,Senegal,Egypt and Algeria do play some games on bad turf especially away matches....losing to likes of Guinea Bissau,CAR not good just cuz of bad pitch.NFF should do the needful

It seems some don’t even understand watin dem Dey call Nigeria.....Nigeria wey swallowed MKO Abiola,Aguiyi Ironsi,Tafawa Balewa,Ahmadu Bello,Akintola na una Dey take play,Interim government for where abeg make everyone relax and remain calm o...Tinubu president or Atiku abi Peter Obi win court case no fit solve naija wahala o,na me and you be koko......I watched a film RISE about rise of Nigeria Greece born Basketballer Adetokunbo and how he was raised by his Yoruba father and Igbo mother was damn.beautiful and I asked myself why this tribal hatred comes from...walahi e no go well for any tribal warriors here

Almighty God will bless you with another boy but train him not Gbadebo Chinedu way so that he can respect Yoruba and Igbo culture very well in case of political aspirations in future.

Basco thanks,pls you need to do more on NPFL, pls scout players for NFF through your channel... invitation to under23 was an eyesore

Meliforme:
All our current wingers have the ability to change the outcome of a match.
We have seen that over and over.

Victor Moses might not do better than Moses Simon and Chukwueze under the same playing personnel, but how can we even say that when we are yet to witness it.

Our current pattern of play can be very disjointed.

Oga better for Chuckwueze to shake things up or else he would just be remember for nothing in eagles... Vic Moses has his record now left for our wingers to measure up. Haha bros, Vic Moses against Guinea Bissau

do4luv14:
indeed he is a major factor,

Covid 19, Dalung and his brother Giwa, He having to source for sponsors left and right,
After our Scout turned minister refuse to release funds,

The only thing I blamed him for is the coaches appointments, he did not get it right,

as for management, he is good,

So tell me how is he a major part of what we are witnessing now, or is he the one who ask them to go about those seamless list,

So that they went as far back as inviting somebody from yumyum Fc

CC Elder Kog45

Oga u don call me out o... first question why are we having backlogs of salaries being paid now, left for Pinnick and Gusau to answer that cuz the two worked together during Amaju tenure.Remember I said NFF presidents are too hidden and this gave people opportunity to label them corrupt.Honestly I thought Amaju would give us better NFF but no.. On sponsorship yes he tried but the best brand we have was between 1993-1998 this marked the beginning of real eagles branding and we all saw the results Afcon won,qualified for first WC, won Olympic gold and later went to France 98,honestly if not for political issue Nigeria would have won 96 and 98 Afcon.... Amaju has done his best now left for Gusau to do the needful.

daveP:
Are you trying to be hilarious right now??😂😂😂😂😂😂


You watch Club football and see top players do the "singlehandedly running from defence to attack, doing wonders" and most definitely hype and praise such players. So VicMo own is now 'there' or 'nothing worth the hype'??
Abeg abeg abeg!!!


Eweeeeeee @ boldened!

I case my rest! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga anybody telling me Mikel,Vic Moses, Simon Moses and Ighalo are not worthy the hypes then they should go and watch Nigeria 2018 WC qualifiers.

I thought by now Nigeria youths must have received sense than falling for people like Sowore,Keyamo,Omokri,Hundeyin.. these guys are fools.

Blueelf:
Baba you could only mention a handful

Now compare that to all the past and present winners of ballon D'or as well as its nominees who were trained by respective European club academies

Ebony you know say na true I dey talk

Okay, if your child was given the option to either train in Arsenal's youth academy in England and a street in Ajegunle Lagos, choose Ajegunle. Please I want to check something

Sir it's not about given option to go to Arsenal or Ajegunle playing ground :::Siasia,Amuneke,Ikpeba and Ighalo are AJ products and good we have two APOTY and ex man utd amongst... my point is simple we have players that went through academy and still lack basics skill that some believed Chuckwueze and Moses doesn't have and are Europeans.

Emmy450:
lols true sir. In every class we have the brilliant, average and the dull students,.same as those academies, what you just pointed out are the dull ones

Dull ones😄😄

Emmy450:
we just saw how osimhen a "word class player" was caught offside several times, largely because of
uncalculated passes from chukweze and
zaidu(ball speed didn't match his pace) this was corrected in Napoli were the players know when to release the ball(time his runs), but also positionalll awareness of osimhen was bad that day.

Sir I enjoy your analysis but I disagree on Osimehn offsides positions even in Napoli it happens especially last season....I don’t want us to go too far on street or academy cuz it’s known facts that academy players would be more basic than street footballers but do you know that we have many academy players in top clubs that are not different from Chuckwueze and Zaidu.

Attention...Emmy450 and typicalgamer .. remember your comments are for us to learn and makes contributions for general discourse but you guys turned it to nagging...Pls let’s always showing respect for ourselves here abeg una let it slides.One ❤️

Blueelf:
Exactly

Street football is a hit and miss style to learning football

It's not comprehensive neither is it taught by experts. One just learns on the fly and pucka up bad habits -whether good or bad

For example, Chuks excessive dribbling is a street mentality. Same with Simon moses too

If our wingers were properly taught in a well funded academy, their decision making will be better. Just look at Vic Moses, Osayi Damuel and the likes

Finidi George na street o and understand the game wella.I disagree that Chuckwueze and Simon excessive dribbling was due to street mentality....Emma Olisadebe was damn street footballer who played jeun jeun football in the streets of Ilorin but within two years he led Poland to World Cup.Sunday Johnson was a street footballer in Kaduna but came down to Ilorin and in a year made Nigeria Sydney 2000 Olympic team as only outfield player.Injury failed him during Ajax trial.Emma and Sunday are friends who didn’t have any academy training but are solid footballers with sense of modern football....Street or no street,footballing mentality is in built and left for individual to harness his potential to the fullest.Remeber Simon Moses was unplayable during 2008 WC qualifiers.

I agreed academy harness and bring good quality in a player with basic things but notwithstanding we still have guys out there who are real crosser of the ball and highly intelligent....a young chap told me Olosunsun playing ground shaped Osimehn

COOL10:
When looking at stats, I'm always wary of Wikipedia, because it can be edited. From a more reputable source(TM), Emmanuel Amunike played 39 games and scored just 8 goals.


Nevertheless, I'm glad you compared him(Victor Moses) with people most Nigerians would consider as legends of Nigerian football and not Simon or Chukwueze.

Emma Amuneke 39 games?transfer market error.He has three good years with eagles and other years were full of injuries.

Sevenworldpower:
Not true. Tribalism was used as a weapon against agbaje. For Gbadebo both tribalism and threat/violent action were used to stop him. Yes, APC media exaggerated his social media posts. That is politics. Democracy just like any system of government doesn't always produce best leader.
Process of selecting leader is gambling.

Oga if one has political aspirations one should be very careful with his comments on social media,the political enemies will used it against one....Gbadebo fumbled and should be a lesson to young ones....Twitting against your tribe.

COOL10:
Victor Moses has a record of 12 goals and 5 assists in just 37 games for Nigeria. For a winger, that's an impressive record. Show me a Nigerian winger that has a better record.

And please, did you really compare Victor Moses' style of play and his creativity with the likes of Moses Simon and Chukwueze? 😳😳


Chai, what won't I read on this thread?🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

Oga cool,Segun Odegbami 47 games 22 goals has better record and do not forget Emma Amuneke 27 games 9 goals but notwithstanding Victor Moses remains the best Nigeria winger of recent times and really surprising seeing our wingers lacking basic.

do4luv14:
If naija football no waka, blame it on one man

if SE no fly, blame it on one man,

if Musa get Belle blame it on one man

if naija football fall yakata for ground blame it on one man,

If anything hapun to naija football , heck..... blame it on one man,

Seems that one man runs a sole proprietorship with naija football😁😁😁

Yes it would be blamed on one man cuz most NFF presidents are not transparent enough in their dealings.

Blueelf:
Good one Sire

You're the only one on this thread to have accurately interpreted FIFA laws

I suggested that NFF chiefs be investigated thoroughly (indigenous national team coaches also). And many shot and t down saying FIFA will shout "interference"

But I don't think FIFA will be against booting out enemies of football in Nigeria. If FIFA can punish siasia thoroughly, why can't EFCC and ICPC

That's why we need a new government quick quick and one that has sports interest at heart so that a proper clean up can start

The laws that guide NFF have many faces that only well seasoned sport administrators can interpret and I can tell you EFCC or ICPC personnel doesn’t know more than you when it comes to legal frame related to corruption in football federations,more reason NFF members always have their ways when it comes to corruption issues.

JohnBullMySon:
You don't understand what I'm saying.

A government cannot impose leadership of an FA or involve itself with how the FA is run and who runs it. It cannot use courts to interfere with the FA or resolve civil disputes. The sporting world has it's own legal system.

However, that does not cover criminal offences. Bribery is not a civil dispute. Bribery is a criminal offence that falls under a country's laws.

What you quoted is not a criminal charge. Show me where the Nigerian government tried to prosecute someone in NFF for crimes and FIFA kicked against it.

NFF is a cult with very corrupt members and only a corrupt leader always emerges as the president.If you are good you are out,check Kodjo Williams case,he was impeached immediately they saw handwriting on the wall.Sincerely I thought Amaju who do it like Kodjo with more maturity but no the system swallowed him.

codemaniacs:
In Nigeria, you can't rule out ethnicity and religion.

What zuchyblink means is mediocrity because they are not incompetent since they already play football professionally they are not good enough to play for any of the national teams.

Then mediocre coaches.. Pinnick could have also made the appointments because he didn't want to be seen as a tribalist.

At least he could have appointed Tijani Babangida or Celestine babayaro or any other high performing northern nigerian descent coach or ex-players.

Sir we can rule it out...In the 80s,90s and early 2000s nobody care where you come from in Nigeria regards players,all we want is result and have never see any solid accusations against a coach inviting players based on ethnicity and religion...Oga just check out Japan 93 squad and tell me a single South westerner in that team but who cares and till date players invitations does not shows ethnicity or religion angles but sentiments...my point is simple Amaju appointed these coaches not Gusau so why is it now we are talking about ethnicity and funny religion.Let just say corruption is affecting our football.

Jojodjo:
Sir, it's even a mistake expecting some good performance from Finidi, Emma etc because over the years Nigerian coaches have shown affinity to bribe and selfish interests in selection.
U20/U17 is completely different from the Senior team. Most of these guys are only after their pocket by sending out invitation to players that'll remit.

If this is a crime to hire Finidi,Amuneke etc then let’s continue with Salisu and co
