This coalition for Nigeria looks very promising
Buhari's major power in terms of vote is from the North at least that's what he boldly stated when he visited Kano state.
This matter is very simple. Cajole and convince Kwakwanso and then get Donald Duke as a running mate. Work don finish be that.

Not even Kwakwanso/Duke matter,Buhari is a goner,not again and God forbid,regretting that i voted for this man no thanks to GEJ's govt of impunity.Naijas dey suffer o.

gists:
Yeah, let the political liabilities - Sarakis and Milayes defect.
They can tear their party card like Obj did in 2014/2015

Not that they matter anyway nor many of them for that matter.

Keep on deceiving yourself may be they are political liabilities come 2019 things would definitely take shape.

Icon4s:
I am of the opinion that CAF should either restructure it or scrap it. Period.

Not that we should not participate.

Ok getting your stand now but why restructuring or scrapping?

Icon4s:
You know the FIFA ranking is used for seeding of teams in both FIFA and CAF organized tournaments.

And I am sure you know the importance of seedings.

I am sure you also know that we have always shown concerns about the rankings when the Super Eagles play. So because the CHAN team is playing we should look away and not think of rankings?

I'm not saying we should not take it serious but you sound like we should have take Egypt approach just to maintain our already poor ranking or what are you trying to say Sir.

dkay51:
But didn't we gain points for the wins against Libya and EQG, don't just paint the part of the picture that suits your narrative that's just misrepresenting the facts.

Thank you.I just don't know why some guys are taking the issue of ranking serious this time around to the extent of trying to label our participation in CHAN as a misplaced of priority.

The FIFA ranking with the main Eagles is non issue to them but with CHAN Eagles is an issue.

safarigirl:

Shey I was just saying yesterday that the March friendlies in Europe would be for the Europe-based players to show their stuff?

I even read from some guy that Uduokhai will also be invited

Safarigirl the number one fan of Dessers,good news if it's true cos the guy is willing.

Hearing reports that Sports presenter, Deji Tinubu is dead...

Chei!Deji Tinubu a very eloquent sports presenter and good sports administrator,him and Deji Omotoyinbo brought something unique to sports presentation.RIP Deji Tinubu.

elgramz:
Dem don sacrifice am for one person political ambition. The other time na Tinubu son die, now na deji tinubu. All this thing na make one brown teeth old man dey got political power. Mtcheeew!!

Senseless comment and stupid likes and share.

Icon4s:
He was talking about the 7 home based players slot. Rumors had it that Keshi struck a deal with those players so as to get a share from their transfer fees when the money bags start coming. Which was why he kept fielding them to raise their market values.

I was not referring to him taking bribes from Uchebo, Nwofor or anybody.

OK sir

Icon4s:
He was at VVV Venlo up till the summer of 2013 where he scored 8 senior goals in his penultimate season before being loaned to Heerenveen in the 2013-2014 season.

A player that scored a brace in 2013 in only his second game. Anthony Ujah who is being tagged today as having a better stat than him never scored a single goal in his 7 appearances for the Super Eagles. Brown Ideye and Anthony Ujah flopped big time at the Confed Cup held in that same 2013. There came a young forward in Uche Nwofor and he scored a brace in the Nelson Mandela Challenge in only his second game for Nigeria and you say that is not enough to keep him in the team?

With strikers like Ideye, Ujah and Eneramo out of favor Nwofor making the team to the World Cup was not out of place.

Sir i thought Keshi was a bribery laden coach but on Nwofor situation he didn't take bribe like he took in the case of Uchebo and others or what do you think.

I remeber a moniker was telling us Keshi was doing it to have something to fall on during retirement and you thumb him up but on Nwofor the same Keshi did well.

Icon4s:
Yes, lets respect everybody's opinion.

Better

Icon4s:
And so please also allow others to freely air their opinion on the entire CHAN Team.

Sir you are free to air your opinion cos even if we are not on the same page is a must for me to respect it and that's has been my unique selling point here or has anyone said i disrespect his opinion or throw tantrums.

On Ezenwa that's my opinion but i will not come here to post a comment to disrespect him just cos i don't rate him.

BascoVanVeli:
Very harsh opinion bro, Ezenwa is not that bad.

My man i will not deceive you i don't rate Ezenwa,that was why i said my opinion.

Humility017:
c'mon why compare agbim wit ezenwa...
it's like you never watched Nigeria CHAN play against Mali, Mozambique and South Africa...I think he only did well against south Africa...
against Morocco too...his basket qualites was made manifest....

ezenwa is far better than agbim...

Yes Ezenwa is better but they belong to the same class,my opinion.

Icon4s:
YES.

OK o

Humility017:
likewise imoh Ezekiel...who bagged in 12 gaols in the Belgian league...

how uchebo who had just 5 goals for club d brugg made the list in place of Ezekiel still a mystery to me

Mystery when majority of the fans were shouting new Kanu Nwankwo.

Humility017:
sir...didn't you remember the confederations cup where the super eagles was filled wit home based players?

I can't really remember but it seems some foreign players didn't make the trip due to injuries.

Icon4s:
Uche Nwofor more than deserved to be in that team. I can't say same for Okechukwu Uchebo, Gabriel Reuben and Chigozie Agbim
.

Not just for that WC alone, the idea of Keeping 7 slots for home based players in the squad was not just acceptable to me. Select the best rather than keeping quotas.

7 slots for home based players?

Humility017:
that keshi team selection was something else....
and to think a goalkeeper like agbim and G. Reuben who only manage 270 mins of football for his club side made the list still baffles me....

keshi had luck working for him but his team selection never help matters....
Rohr is watching I trust his judgement...

Pls let's respect Keshi decision though some are questionable.

Pls tell me the difference between Ezenwa and Agbim.

Oh Reuben Gabriel making 2014 WC wasn't a surprised to me cos Keshi's boss Westerhoff had some of them unattached at US 94.

Despite this Keshi won Afcon and reached WC 2nd round,hope Rohr achieve similar feat and better our 2nd round WC record.

Humility017:
your thinking that....in form Orji can only displace an off form Balogun is ridiculous.
if that is all orji can do and where is potentials lies...then he is not good enough for the super eagles...
we need a player who can give the present SE start a good fight...someone who can hide bite to the defense....

I like orji though....but i think it is too hasty to start the call.

Yes too late for players like Orji in the main team preparing for WC except Rohr takes interest which i doubt but Salisu need to be blamed for not discovering talents that are abound in the league early enough for Rohr to polish,may be some of these boys would have been in Europe by now and useful for Eagles.

Humility017:
nobody I think is criticising them badly from my observation....in their last match...Dayo Ojo really revived that match...prior then especally in the first half the play was poor...and that's the truth.

OK sir

Humility017:
they want us to revert back to keshi days I always reserving 3-5 slots for home based players....

My man don't twists the discussion,nobody is expecting any slots for home based but mellow down on the harsh criticism of the team as if they are not representing Nigeria,give them little respect and let's give critical analysis on the team,nothing more.

Humility017:
one thinh I have noticed when the home based players and Chan team are being discussed is that any contrasting view from the NPFL fans is deemed unpatriotic and uncalled for...

one simply can't express his/herself without having be termed unpatriotic and a critic...

we just have to praise the team even when they're not playing well....

Oh NPFL fan?i watched local league live last in the stadia should be 2008 but i always have respect for anything home grown especially Nigeria even if am outside the country.

If you want to say unpatriotic,yes some comments sound like that and is damn terrible cos we do accuse the likes of Michael2,goldfish80,Komne of the same thing.

Icon4s:
Because I want to respect the dead I don't just want to pour my mind on Keshi's selections. I will only focus on that of Rohr.

For the first time in a very long while we have recently (under Rohr) been parading a Super Eagles team that when you see the line up you would hardly disagree that we are parading the best available players.

So many of Keshi's players had no business in that team. Period.

That's why i said only Keshi can do that not Rohr but i thought Uchebo or Nwofor are better than Ideye?

Icon4s:
Why some don't understand these things you pointed out baffles me.

We are Nigeria and we have standards.

This is not the first CHAN we are participating in.

As a football analyst you analyze the game the way it is. If the team is poor you should be able to say it.

Next thing now they will point hate fingers at you.

I just tire.

Sir some comments on CHAN team were purely biased and uncalled for which i don't see as critical analysing of the team but bashings comments.

Pls this is football,let's analyze it and talk football.

tbaba1234:
Look back at the Keshi's CHAN team and this one.

The Keshi's team was so much better (after their first game) such that people were advocating the inclusion of players like Ejike and Odunlami into the WC team.

Can you sincerely look at this team so far and make a case for the inclusion of any player?

That was the expectation from CHAN to an extent. To find out which player can potentially be in the A squad. I could care less if we go out in the first round but discover good players.

Even when Oliseh got bundled out in the first round, we discovered Chikatara.

I don't think Keshi can be compared with any coach when it comes to giving home based chance,so i don't think Rohr has the gut cos if it's Keshi expect player like Orji in the main team.

goldfish80:
I have actually seen him play even better than this. You know the last time these guys played competitive games was October last year at the end of the season. I would think Osas is playing at 70% and even at that, he is still the best wing back in the tournament. I understand he's being courted by several clubs, including a certain Locomotive.

Good for him if he can make the move early cos staying put at NPFL will not help his development.

I based my assessment on him due to your rating cos i remeber vividly you suggested his name as solution to our RB problem before the emergence of Shehu Abdullahi,Ebuhei, Aina and Idowu.

Due to this i watched him critically during WAFU but am not impressed but so far at CHAN us doing well,just that he needs to improve on his defensive ability,am saying this cos during super six he was badly exposed by one MFM player who always took him on with ease.

Well i see him more as a ball playing defender than real defender but needs to work on his defensive approach,with that is ready to go but good outing so far

tbaba1234:
See, if they play great football, you will see great praise. It will be obvious, no one can deny it.

If they play outstanding football against Angola, i will be the first to praise them but if i see poor quality, i will also comment on that as well.

Trying to suggest that those who criticize are showing "total hatred" is wrong and unfair.

In the first half against Rwanda, how many criticisms did you see apart from the team's inability to finish chances? When they depreciated in the second half, the criticism was deserved.

Let us be honest.

The players are victims of the Nigerian system. A player like Rabiu Ali would have become a greatly player with the right coaching and exposure.

My man with due respect i don't need to mention names here but roll back pages here and analyse some comments regards CHAN then you would agree that some comments wasn't base on critical view of the team even before the commencement of CHAN.

Mind you am not saying the team is perfect or they are getting it right cos they need to improve to beat Angola but guys needs to talk like football pundits not just bashing.

goldfish80:
You're not a new comer here na. There is a strong anti home based footballers sentiment here. It's like a phobia. If you're realizing this now, I say "GOOD MORNING".
They claimed our Fifa ranking will be brought down by these guys, when the main Super Eagles brought down the Fifa rankings themselves over the past 3-4 years. The irony I find is that these Chan guys could boast our rankings with a semifinal appearance, which was a personal target I set for the team.

By the way, what do you think of Osas? Have you seen a better right back in tbis championship?

Osas is cool so far but i still want to see better Osas as you rated him.

BascoVanVeli:
U cant come and start comparing KDB to Osas Okoro for goodness sake. Even in the main team our wingers and full backs get mixed up.

double post.

Thank you,honestly the bashing these guys are receiving here is uncalled for cos it shows total hatred.

This is even worse than what some always perceived as hatred stance of Michael2,goldfish80,komne and forgiveness on Eagles when they make critical analysis of the team.

What am reading here on CHAN team is not critical analysis but serious bashing which must be tone down.
