Nigerians will just be calling figures anyhow this house is not up to 200 million naira, if hes claiming 200 million naira for this house then how much will k1 d ultimate call his own house in ijebu ode

I think it's peculiar to Nigeria musicians to exaggerate,check Davido 45 million Porsche Cayenne, how on earth that car is 45m.

The Fuji musicians are the worst may be due to lack of exposure or rivalries in their genres of music.I remember when Obesere said he bought 70m car,after seen the Limousine,it was 80s model worth less than 10m.

This house is not up to 70m and if Malaika truly spent 200m then he is a dummy and i will advise him to arrest the Engineer for fraud.

buhariguy:
he will not win primary not to talk of rigging in the main election.

He might strike deal with osho to retain his structure, to win the primary

So, who will rigg for him in the main election, because saraki can not win in free and fair election like he has be doing since 2003 with his late father .

Pls stop misleading the public and be truthful in your discourse.

If you don't like him,no issue but Kwara central i know we return Saraki back to senate cos Ilorin people don't joke with the name SARAKI.

Oh rigging,it seems you forgot that Saraki defeated an incumbent governor Muhammad Lawal in 2003 and in 2007 he won convincingly.

I think come 2019 kwarans should get their PVC and decide if they want Saraki or not,it's not done on online forum but go to the poll and decide.

andrew444:
Me and you know dele alampasu will not make the list but you guys in this thread like giving hope to someone who will not make it

I think we are having 5 keepers in the proposed 35 man list and Rohr so far used and invited 7 keepers as a Nigeria coach namely Carl Ikeme,Daniel Akpeyi,Ikechuckwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho,Dele Ajiboye,Dele Alampasu and Emma Daniel,out of these 7,pls pick your 5 unless Rohr is considering the likes of Aiyenugba,Ejide and Maduka then Alampasu out

thugthang:
he may return but not as the president of the senate

Why are you guys keep on underrating Saraki

The same mistake Tinubu make before NASS election and GEJ when Saraki led new PDP to APC.

Did you know that Ameachi,Fashola,Tambuwal and the likes respect Saraki.Pls ask baba OBJ about Saraki.

This is a man that told his father point blank that his sister will not succeed him as governor and it came to.pass.

Pls have you asked yourself how Saraki was able to remain as senate President till date

kehinde1588:
I just dislike Saraki.

Oh i just like Saraki

Icon4s:
Meanwhile some thought by now Osimhen would be tearing down defenses.

I have long learnt not to be carried away by U17 successes.

I rate players who are outstanding at the U20 more.

Yes U17 too early except for exceptional players who are even lucky to get clubs that w give them solid foundation.

EEGA:
Rohr will pick Osimhen over Dessers if he is to choose b/w the two.

An Osimhen in the Eredivisie will do better than Dessers.

Did you know that Dessers couldn't light Belgium league but went to Holland and is doing well while Awoniyi failed in Holland but solid in Belgium,meaning you don't judge some players based on league they are playing but current form.

For now Dessers,Sadiq Umar,Taiwo Awoniyi and Simy Nwankwo ahead of Osimhen though Rohr rate him.

LordOfNaira:
No Mikel, no Moses.
Troost-Ekong partnered Awaziem in CB.
Onazi captained.
Result: Nigeria 0 - South Africa 2

No Mikel, no Moses.
Troost-Ekong partnered Awaziem in CB.
Onazi captained.
Result: Nigeria 0 - Serbia 2

Are these mere coincidences?

What an observation.

If you analyse Nigeria team critically,you discovered that two players are very important and they are Mikel and Leon,not even Moses cos their experience always show on the field of play even if they are not at their best.

Good against South Africa we have two good young CB who couldn't do it cos their experience failed them and it happened again against Serbia.

Pls check out Nigeria against Zambia in Ndola,Omeruo partnership with Ekong was awesome cos Omeruo brought needed experience,even against Chad Omeruo was able to guide Ekong.

I keep on saying it better to have Omeruo pairing Ekong/Awaziem in the absence of Balogun.

On Mikel i don't have much to say cos everybody knew that we always struggle without Mikel and left for Rohr to find solutions to it.

MetalJigsaw:
Sad

Yes some talented players failed trials cos of this especially when it comes to basic things about football.

I remember how Churchill Oliseh through Chris Eeseka broke a deal for a close pal playing for Old Kwara united at Ajax but failed the trial.

When he came back i asked him you are too good,what went wrong and he said he was lost with the basic things like when to run,how to cover and when to be in the box,truly they were impressed with his dribbling and all round skills.

After six months he went back for another trial in Norway and successful but this was possible after he realised that he need to learn more and it took personal effort to improve himself through video clips.

Icon4s:
Was waiting for this comment to prop up all morning.

Awoniyi, is a boy I met at the U17 Camp in 2012. He was barely 14/15 then and he looked it. He has really transformed a lot physically from then till now. I posted a pix on here earlier on. Besides Awoniyi wrote WAEC the same year he played the U17. And that is usually a major pointer to someone's age.

Thank you Chief icon4s.

I had the opportunity of watching U17 WC live at UAE and i can tell anybody that those guys were young cos i was very close to the team due to Awoniyi who was a year old when i graduated from Unilorin,his Dad was an area bro and they live closely to old university campus in Agbo oba area of Ilorin.

I can't even remember how Awoniyi started his career cos he was not even in the picture of the young boys playing football then in Ilorin especially in the stadium arena,just to tell you he was extremely young.

It was during U17 that my younger bro drew my attention saying "omo bros ti won bi nigba ye ni Tayo Awoniyi" meaning that Tayo Awoniyi na bros pikin o.

But really surprised is going for early marriage, just too early and definitely guys would be suspicious of his age except someone like you or me who knew him very well.

buhariguy:
Is saraki not going back to PDP again?.

Whether he remain in APC or not, he and dino and shehu will not return to Senate

Saraki will not return to senate in Kwara?then you must be dreaming.

realpoacher:
It is atrocious watching the so called "World class" or "Top class" Goalkeepers conceding avoidable plenty goals at this knockout stage of the Uefa Champions League.
One would expect that the very best keepers in world football presently will atleast keep the scorelines reasonably low. But alas, what do we see,?...we see scandalous scoreline like 5-2, 4-2, 2-2, 1-2, 3-0, 1-3,4-1 and 3-0.

Ter stegan conceded 4 goals over two legs, Navas conceded 6 goals in 4 matches, Ultriech conceded 4 in two legs, karius conceded 6 over two legs while the so called exceptional Alison conceded a whooping 11 goals in 4 matches....

I can bet my left balls that if our young, inspiring Uzoho had kept any of these games, he would probably had been put on the slaughterhouse in this thread.... SMH!!

If stegan, Ultriech, Alison, Navas, karius playing among their mates could not keep the scorelines low,... Then what miracle do we expect uzoho to produce?....
I ask because it seems like we have placed a ridiculously high demands on his shoulders, expecting him to perform even better than his seniors when among his mates he has done very well and keeping almost more than 9 clean sheets.

Even when called upon to man the post among his seniors, he has not done badly conceding only 2 goals in three matches.

I think its high time we left the young man alone and begin to believe in his abilities else I will assume that we too have begun to judge our brothers through the prism of the white man,... I will assume we have become belligerent, and insatiable with our expectations

I am specifically passing this message across to Mujtahida, O pari master, egbon kog45, egbon forgiveness, Joebie who castigated Uzoho to abyss since the day his club videos surfaced here,.. and even our dear tbaba1234 who with his little experience in amateur goalkeeping should have known better that as a young keeper, you can easily learn and grow unlike an already established Goalkeeper.

Realpoacher my man,CASTIGATE,No o but saying the obvious,hope he comes good at WC and i would be extremely happy for the young man.

Truidstar:
Gernot Rohr submit list yesterday CYRIL DESSERS NAME NO DEY OOOO

Dessers man relax o,let's see the list first.

tbaba1234:
These are not marginal offside calls... I can understand referees can get that wrong..

In both cases, the players were well behind the line of defence.. You can not even pretend it was offside.

I think LMC are watching for better performance.

tbaba1234:
See this beautiful goal ruled offside in the NPFL... so ridiculous.. And we wonder why away teams can't win.

Two ridiculous offside calls


http://twitter.com/Guarantor2011/status/989775361658576896?s=19

tbaba and NPFL?such errors not peculiar to Nigeria league alone but the referee should have done better,hope LMC are watching for better league performance.

MetalJigsaw:
We share same thought bro.

What a very diplomatic and intelligent statement from Ndidi.

It's simple better to beat Croatia and Iceland,get six point then round it up with Argentina in a relax mood than using Argentina with magical Messi to qualify from the group.

That's Ndidi word of wisdom.

kentebemoney:
These guys are humans and football get spirit, with injury u go still wan play

That's not tenable cos aggravating the injury can stopped the young man from WC,better to have him for WC than unnecessary injury that just need rest to heal.

Mujtahida:
Sir Kog45 you remember how I was saying that the young man was not fully fit for the match against Serbia? 7 weeks gone and the young man is just recovering. Bengine did say that this injury takes time to heal and this report proves him right

Muj,why 90 minutes for a player just coming out of groin injury?Rohr or Ebuehi's fault.

kentebemoney:
I think the guy is forming this injury not to play games

Sir,forming injury?

kentebemoney:
I followed the Ebuehi mata here and I was bewildered by the view held by people who should know more about this things.
Groin injury no be play, some literally threw this guy under the bus.
Ebuehi is one guy that knows what "chewing gum marking" is, it's good to have him back.

Sir i remember i started the discourse with Mujtahida on his fitness.

My question was why unfit Ebuehi with groin injury for 90 minutes when we have options like Omeruo who can do it as RB,also Aina a natural RB or moved in Idowu a natural RB too and Echiejile or Aina to LB just to save Ebuehi from aggravating the injury.

kennysville:
If only Victor Moses go gree

I think it's Rohr's fault if that's the situation cos we must have penalty,free kick and corners takers even headers when it comes to corner both in our box or opponent box.

Do not blame Moses but Rohr for not do the needful.

Icon4s:
Has any Nigerian ever scored from a free-kick in any World Cup?

Has Nigeria generally scored from any form of set piece, be it corner or indirect free kick?

We have not even won any penalty.

Still scratching my head.

As long as we cannot get goals except from open plays we will continue to struggle in major competitions like the WC.

Chief morning,u don weak me again with this o cos na true talk without this team struggle.

Martz101:
his more of a box striker

OK but his stats not encouraging as a striker 40 matches and 7 goals.

MetalJigsaw:
Watch him closely ke? is it not the same Tammy I watch? Come on, bro

Cant remember when last he even scored.
He doesn't even deserve our bench

Someone that was promised an automatic place in our World Cup Squad.. chai!

The Tammy i watched against Man utd was solid cos in the space of 10 minutes De Gea had three wonderful saves from him that would have beat any keeper.

The guy with his age is good and look promising.

Oh doesn't deserve Nigeria bench?no comment.

enomakos:
he moves to berger after he left the stinging bees

OK Julius Berger,i thought it was Leventis.

goldfish80:
I remember Ayo Ogunlana back at Ranchers Bee. They really had a very mobile team with lots of energy in the middle of the park. Very typical of teams from the Sahel region.

Although when it comes to freekicks I will give it to the chairman himself, CCC. Who can forget those thunderous ballistic missiles that flew off his boot and straight into the top corner. I honestly feel Nigeria have yet to find a like for like replacement for Christian Chukwu. He was the Nigerian version of Franz Beckanbuer. In myopinion, he came too early for his time.

Oh chairman Chuckwu,well Ayo had it so good in Nigeria league

Okocha did it well at later stage of his career,also Chris Ohenhen was a good free kick taker

Hope to see Iheanacho,Simeon Moses scoring from free kicks at WC..

[quote author=enomakos post=66944921][/quote]You are right

asha80:
not sure about leaving ranchers bees for leventis because leventis utd and abiola babes were disbanded in 1988..as at 1989 ayo ogunlana was still with ranchers bees(along with dahiru sadi,tajudeen oyekanmi,adamu jeje,abubakar balarabe and Daniel amokachi)

Good memorable old days,honestly i thought he left Ranchers bees.

lexyman:
you re right .... but that Okocha free kick against man united was superb , he scored twice in different position , i think he has some level of accuracy in his feet .


Ayo Ogunlana and Dahiru Sadi were players that can never be forgotten easily in the Nigerian league

Dahiru Sadi,what a good player

Icon4s:
Haha, Aina too will warm bench naa.

That and a goalkeeper slot are the only 2 available for grabs from the 23 IMO.

The attitude of Echiejile and Aina in camp will determine a lot of things. And also very importantly, Rohr has the final say.

Good their attitude in camp will decides but check it out Aina 44 matches and Echiejile 7 matches this season.

As at last friendlies Echiejile was behind,Ebuehi came in for Shehu and Aina came in for Idowu,this shows that Echiejile need to work very hard to make the team

forgiveness:
Hmm! I see. But the truth is, I can't even remember some of the players that represented us in the 20014 confederation cup and WC.

However, the only time I remembered a good freekick taker was in 1993 when Okocha scored a beautiful one.

Those who watched both Okocha and Ogunlana would tell you Ogunlana was naturally gifted when it comes to free kick,imagine having a player who score at least 6 goals through free kick every season.

As i said i give it to Okocha in national team but club football it's Ayo Ogunlana

Icon4s:
Egbon Echiejile stands a better chance than Aina

Chief if Echiejile is going to WC as a bench warmer then better to take Aina.
