The druggie and the urinating machine,with his urchins we experience a rude shock very soon

So you can be happy with prof Gambari the man that Abacha used to appeal to United Nations the reason why Ken Saro Wiwa must die and he did it perfectly....many of you don't know Nigeria history,hating Tinubu doesn't mean we should lose our senses....the same prof Gambari has not once condemned the killing and kidnapping going on in his state Kwara but here talking about the system he was and he is still part of till date....mind you his son is going for Kwara governor come 2027 under the same APC,by the time politicians uses us finished we go understand wetin dey

Same thought too..I don’t want to believe dt commercial package stuff, if a whole Italy 🇮🇹 can miss the World Cup twice ,who be Nigeria 🇳🇬? So back to the case, if fifa wants to investigate how they got deir passport den we might be having a strong case here based on dr Congo law

NFF legal team members are making references to Congo law, that's the only way out, anything apart from that,no way

On Oliseh And His Rant.......

I have always believed in Oliseh's technical ability and insights. I am one of the few that has stood for him whenever he gets maligned on Nairaland just to set the records straight (As presented before us). However lately I am sooooo disappointed at his antics especially after he began his podcast. What I see him do lately is trying to either always be right or make others look bad so as to be right. This is probably stemming from unforgiveness and bitterness in his heart. It came to height for me when he started double speaking when it came to Eric Chelle tacitly fogetting that the mess was created by NFF and our supposed 94 set members. I dont understand the bro code they have (94 set). Not like they were one big happy family then.

Whatever height he Oliseh has risen to today was not by his own doing but by Nigeria extending opportunity to him into the national team. How many non invited Nigerian players in diaspora made the limelight ? Where are his fellow Olympics finalists? Mobi Oparaku, Kingsley Obiekwu, Teslim Fatusi, etc? Most have faded into oblivion either by choice or by life. But here our peacock likes to strut around acting like he knows it all and should be appointed Mr FIFA. He lacks ability to be gracious in verdict which tacitly puts him in crosshairs with people around him, always rubbing people the wrong way.

The angle he came at Osimhen felt like he was fighting for Finidi George ( The one struggling for Pepe's jersey... That image never left my head as I saw him downplay his legend status like an elebi). One minute Oliseh is saying Osimhen is the best thing since sliced bread, next minute he starts to talk about jealousy with Lookman by Osimhen!!!! How low can you go? Lookman was broken because of that? He be pencil?

Every man and his dog knows what has been happening the last couple of years and that is "No Osimhen, no eagles!!! " and that is no fault of Osimhen. And then to now say the beef was the reason we lost the Afcon trophy from a respected individual as Oliseh is just downright vile. Where was he when the ghanaian ref gave every 50-50 call to Moroccans? When we couldnt even play our attacking game, our players rfesorted to managing the situation all the way to 120 minutes. We lost because of penalties. The bias take of his on the Podcast is at best ludicrous and it just hurts. So if Osimhen lashes at him and drobs his bomb, people will now say Osimhen is lacking home training.

We can also say it was Oliseh's beef with Samson Siasia that cost us the 94 quarter final ticket against italy, but you dont see Siasia goin about mopping and spinning sob story even though we know who lost possession and made Roberto Baggio equalize.
This 94 set golden boy attitude needs to stop. I watched the podcast and I felt my tummy turning filled with disgust. Coming from someone I thought I respected and defended most times.

These are the things people do that make youngsters insult them and then they play victim. Oliseh needsd to do better. There is no reason for that submission of his, and certainly no reason to make that video (Other than to look like Mr Ethics Committee) .

Peace yall and God bless Super Eagles

Hmm,Osimhen is eagles... Yes,only eagles player in history to yell at his mates,stop playing on the field,told coach to sub him out,after final whistle refused to join his mates and walked alone to the dressing room...even papa Yekini no fit, reason Siasia, Amokachie are waiting,maybe if we have 80% Osimhen in another player he wouldn't have reacted in that manner.

My grouse with Oliseh,why bringing the dead issue again to the extent of bringing out Finidi and Ikpeba stuffs, Osimhen already apologized to his team mates and they have moved on.Chelle and NFF did well by handling the situation in a very amicable way.

I know Chelle would have learnt from what happened against Mozambique and he will surely do the needfuls,good we're having two to three players for a position which is good for the team.... Chelle just need to sit Osimhen down by always telling him calm down in any situations cuz you're very important.

Ppogbae:
Honestly, do we really have a case against DR Congo? Can someone explain the basis of NFF's complaint?

Genuinely asking.

Yes on Congo Dr national law regarding nationality we have a strong case but sporting law we have no way.Congo constitution gave us the advantages cuz it supercedes the sporting law.

Congo Dr doesn't recognize dual citizenship but used players with dual citizenships...now left for us to pursue it logically without given any loopholes....good we have a Nigerian,a reputable SAN who is my big brother as member of FIFA Ethics committee

Ejute might not make Eric Chelle's team not for footballing reasons.

Samuel Chukwueze was neglected by Eric Chelle not for footballing reasons
In the match against Egypt, Samuel Chukwueze won defensive duels 3x more than the entire midfield combined and made more contributions to defense 3x more than the entire midfield combined. We are talking about a midfield that has a designated DM.

Players with the highest number of chances created in a single match:
Alex lwobi (6 chances) in the match against Tanzania.
Samuel Chukwueze (5 chances) in the match against Uganda.
Ademola Lookman (4 chances) in the match against Tunisia.

These stats reveals Chukuneze's creative role and contributions to defense.
Even if Samuel Chukwueze won't start matches, give one reason why Samuel Chukwueze will not be the first to be subsituted on when changes are considered in the more offensive areas of the pitch.

Tochukwu Nnadi was neglected not for footballing reasons.
In the indices that can be used to qualify a good DM, Tochukwu Nnadi is ahead of Raphael Onyedika.
Both players feature in the Belgian Pro League.
In statistics such as Tackles per 90, Blocks made per 90, Interceptions per 90, Clearances per 90, Nnadi is ahead of Onyedika.

It is very clear that Eric Chelle clearly doesn't know his players and can wrongly drop or feature them.

Going by your comparison of Onyedika and Nnadi then Onuachu should be starting ahead of Osimhen in eagles based on their performance in Turkish league this season....I don tire for una theoretical analysis

Oya tell us why Ejuke should make Chelle team...some of you analysed game as if we watched different game cuz to you Ejuke,Nnadi and Chuckwueze should be starting

AFCON 2025 effects? 🤔

Any good addition is welcome cuz the synergy must continue

Amedino99:
What type of fouls were morocco committing to become the least carded team. 141 fouls but 10 cards.
Chelle's tiki taka showed up. Nice.

Nigeria created 27 chances but a very selfish player created more than half of those chances,you see here some watch this game with emotions.....highest scoring side with 14 goals,how I wished Osimhen broke Yekini record with Afcon 🏆

darkelf:
You raised valid points I can't disagree w8th boss

But I don't want us to seem like we are head and shoulders above senegal

No o we're not above Senegal, they're Africa champion but eagles I watched during Afcon can't be pushed over by Senegalese...mind you we dey beat Senegal nau Dem be our baby abi you don forget

SymphonyRad:
And how many games did Awaziem play at the AFCON? Chelle isn't calling up Iheanacho as long as he's coach, so make una dead that agenda.

We're talking football here and I hate anything like agenda or hate...or did you see anyone advocating for Iheanacho prior to Afcon?...I just used Awaziem to buttress my point that anything can happen,yes the team is taking shape and it will be good seeing young talents making the team

darkelf:
In our last two knockout games, how many dud we score?

Did Senegal face Mozambique? What do you think the scoreline would be?

When people compare Nigeria to another country like Senegal, it's because we ought to be miles ahead of them with the human capital we have at our disposal

The truth is this, this Nigerian team is still a work in progress and isn't there yet.

We always struggle with teams that sit back to defend and are very disciplined with their movement and sadly, our coach doesn't know how to respond to adverse situations tactically. He's a good coach but he isn't Zidane or Klopp.

I really want us to start organising friendly matches against top European teams because I believe this AFCON against low ranked African sides may have given us a false sense of satisfaction

Let us see where we truly are on the world stage. Let use see what Bassey would do against an Mbappe, Yamal, Desire Doue or Harry Kane.

Let's celebrate the improveme t but let's not get way over our heads. There's still a lot of work to be done

Let me start from did Senegal face Mozambique?but they faced Botswana,rate Mozambique and Botswana...yes they drew Congo,we lost to Congo via penalties...Senegal defeated Benin 3-0 the same Benin we beat 4-0...yes won Egypt by lone goal, against Egypt poor officiating denied us outright victory,Akor goal?Senegal showed resilient took Morocco to 120 minutes football just like Nigeria,what separated us was that goal, respect to Senegal but fact that Senegal team will only defeat us via penalties which can go either sides

elyte89:
Iheanacho can’t play in chelles style of play …even if he’s in form ,same with boniface ..those guys like d ball on deir foot and do deir stuff,Dey don’t run for 90mins

Are you saying old Iheanacho will not make Chelle team...Onuachu,Ejuke and Dessers dey run for 90 minutes?

forgiveness:
What kind of mischievous writeup be dis? How can you compare Awoniyi with Ahmed and Ighalo that has retired?

Has Awoniyi retired? Is he not still playing in EPL?


Who told you those players are better than Awoniyi?

Taiwo Awoniyi need to remain fit and move next season,Bremen tried to get him on loan but his injuries records alarming,coaches don't like a player that's on and off cuz of injuries, that's the reality...

SymphonyRad:
Una no dey rate Nigeria for this subforum sha, Onuachu as how? Did you watch how ridiculously bad he was vs Egypt in our 3rd place match ...na so another person take mention Iheanacho making a comeback, in 2026? why not then bring back or unretire the likes of Ahmed Musa, Ighalo, Awoniyi and other players who are in the football twilight of their playing careers.. exciting football no dey sweet una otherwise we should be talking about building around Osimhen, Akor and then others like Gift Orban, Rafiu Durosinmi, Philip Otele, Sani Suleman, Njinmah, Femi Azeez, Shola Shoretire and if NFF are serious try court Ethan Nwaneri, Rio Ngumoha, George Ilenikhena, Emmanuel Emegha and other dual nationals who will elevate our attacking options to a 100... players like Onuachu and Moses Simon should be phased out respectfully in 2026, dem don try.

If Awaziem can still be considered as super eagles player that just finished Afcon then don't write Iheanacho off.

PDPGuy:
Morocco just achieved the 2nd highest ever rank for an African team! They’re dangerously coming close to the 5th position that was achieved by our Super Eagles back in 1994 🙆🏽‍♂️

Reason why they are called golden generation...won Afcon, qualified for WC and rated 5th best team in the world.

Goke7:
If we had qualified for the World Cup will okoye had made such demands? The optics weren’t good especially after a disappointing wcq series. It’s looking like okoye’s mind was on the World Cup than Afcon. For me I respect his decision but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to justify him. Was it Chelle or Ndidi who said something like this team we win together and also sink together. We were all mad here when we heard rumours whether true or not of osihmen was threatening to leave the camp in the wake of the spat with Lookman and funny enough okoye would have had his chance in this Afcon in the game against Uganda and probably the 3rd place match, this is where okoye would have made his demands to be number 1 instead of shying away completely from the tournament. If we all agree that the team is bigger than players like osihmen we shouldn’t be making excuses for other players as well. Just look at how players like osayi, Bruno, Ajayi has taken their chances, it would have been okoye as well. He’s the one making Nwabali more indispensable!

God bless you Goke...Okoye excused himself cuz he wanted to be number one but to some the decision was good for his career,a decision that was unpatriotic and sabotage.Chelle needed to call forgotten Uzoho back...we have seen great keepers who are tournament second choice,I remember time of Thomas Nkono, Antoine Bell and Jacques Songo,all top rated Cameroon keepers in a tournament.....I don't know why we always like giving excuses for bad behaviors.

ChrisKels:
Okoye, Uzoho and Okonkwo as back ups.

Oga comot Okoye cuz if he is not number one he is not ready

semid4lyfe:
Pls mention a Grade A coach that collects 50k USD salary?

Ordinary Pitso Motsimane una no fit afford but una go dey trumpet Grade A coach up and down like say Grade A na person name.

Gosh, some of you are just annoying and arrogantly delusional.

Kai semid,we Sabi ourselves here and our reasonings so sometimes it would be difficult for a newcomer here to understand reasons for some comments... don't be surprised everything is down to a player not getting enough playing time under the coach.

Meliforme:
There is a recurring theme in Eric Chelle's style that is highly limiting.

I have never resonated with the crowd in all my stands.

Eric Chelle is not yet the man.
When the right man shows up, you will witness my unwavering validation.

I am not advocating for his sack anyway.
All that i am saying is that we should not raise our hopes in him.

If Eric Chelle sees a better paying job let him take it and continue his growth.

Do not worry we will get a coach that will use Ejuke properly

Meliforme:
The NFF is not ready to invest in Grade A coaches.
This won't be the first time we are getting this kind of result, even with the quality in our hands.

Which one is grade A coach again...una never tire

AndSunGorilla:
Egbon na penalty now. So today Salah and Marmoush, the biggest Egyptian players gave it to us as well.penalty is always a lottery sir. It is not by how serious you appear before taking it.

I didn't blamed but my response was to someone telling me Morocco keeper is good on penalties like better than Nwabali

AndSunGorilla:
The pressure is different!!!!
And Bono is a monster when it comes to penalties.

Chuckwueze gave it to Morocco

Samueltemi337:
Nigeria vs Jamaica
He didn't save any

How we come won...off player played it over the bar or sideways na save

Goke7:
That’s why we no win e no score

Goke, against Uganda no be 3 goals and Osimhen scored how many...he comot against Mozambique Akor scored..make una cool down dey praise others small small nau,yes Osimhen na our talisman

Joebie:
Nwabali is good

NO O Okoye better pass him😩forget his erratic behavior on the field Nwabali na keeper o..Thank you Joebie

TheSuperNerd:
'Mind not really in this game in terms of result but seen the entire 1st 45 quietly.

Ajayi showed how fast he could get in one good defensive moment to hold off Mostafa. Been solid as always this tournament.

Onyedika has been brilliant getting us forward towards the final third with his passes. Again, the narrative want to force he is bad because of only one moment he was caught in possession. They see that and ignore most of the first half where he was simply too good on the ball. This is the guy that has been distributing the ball forwarx through the middle while also doing a decent enough job defensively so far. Keep agending.


Chukwueze showing his spritely creative qualities. Unfortunate to see his assist cancelled. He is showing Chelle he missed a plot not bringing him in earlier than 119mins.

Onuachu was unlucky to get that yellow. Yes, his elbow made contact with Fathi but na him height I blame. He is bloody tall. The egyptian defender simply walked into Onuachu's elbow. Lol... the height difference made this possible.

Ogbu has been good. Showed it vs Uganda. Showing it again today.

Simon has not been bad too. He has even created one of our better chances.

The two fullbacks need no further praise. They have been good especially Osayi again. God! The way this man has played at Afcon 2025, it is scary ooo coz this man is meant to be our 2nd choice RB! Aina has a big fight on his hands.

FDB has complemented Onyedika to a decent level but needs to be more vertical thinking in his passing.

Nwabali... Man has been calm. No stress.

2nd 45 about to start...

Bye Bye to Awaziem and Sanusi
