True.... their official Twitter handle says so. Guess he is still keeping his cards open after all until the deal is truly sealed. He knows what he is doing... Before you know na, they will wanna sideline him at his club. Nonsense.

Also... I see it as a reaction of the English press until I read a statement and see pixs of him saying so. After all, NFF has evidence that this guy has verbally agreed to play for us. English media are being reactionary again as in the case of Iwobi. Rubbish.

pls don't trust NFF when it comes to issues like this,players like Iwobi,Aina,Ebuhei that switched to Nigeria did so coz of strong family tied,for instance Iwobi was possible coz of Jayjay Okocha,Aina possible coz of his Dad and Mikel,Ebuehi coz of Rohr.

This players need great assurance from close pals before they can switched,truly Amaju picknnick has been telling d whole world how close he is to Tammy's Dad,but he forgot that Tammy is a great prospect for England national team and English FA are watching,getting Aina is easy coz England doesn't rate him.

TheSuperNerd:
I really cannot believe that This Gomez guy is based in the Benin league... so what if Osas came up against Wingers from Scandinavian leagues not to mention The big 5 sef... chaaaiiiiii....

Osas needs to add defensive awareness to His game. He is good overlapping and getting forward and a decent setpiece specialist but he is not "Main" Super Eagles quality right now. Shehu, Aina, And even Ebuehi all trump him.

Agreed,if he is not Eagles material right now then he should forget it coz he is older than d likes of Shehu,Aina,and Ebuehi not to talk of Nura Abdullahi.

tbaba1234:
I remember Goldfish80 was advocating for Osas to play right back for the national team at some point. Today, he came up against a half-decent winger and could not cope.

Yea Goldfish80 rate this guy high and coz of that i watched him keenly right from Sierra Leone match but today am not impress with his displayed,very poor performance.

FT: Benin Rep 0-1 Nigeria

The Home based Super Eagles are through to the final of the Ghana 2017 Wafu cup tournament powered by FoxSports.

Up next is Ghana vs Niger Rep. Who joins Nigeria in the final?

Congrats to Salisu Yusuf and the crew... but they should step things up in the final where 100,000 US Dollars (will confirm this abeg) and more is at stake...
Ten man Benin played like 11 men... we should have scored more... but kudos all the same... and Well done to Benin.

MOTM: The man who roasted Osas Okoro today and made him see stars... Charbel Gomez (aka Terrorist)

My oga,just in from sky sports and pls confirm,Tammy Abraham said is available for England selection and not Nigeria.

BascoVanVeli:
Salisu Yusuf is our worst player.

u are absolutely right, 10 against 11 we still find it difficult to control d game.

zoboizee:
Osas has being our weak link right from the sierra leone match. He got skinned hands down. He's only good going forward.

very poor outing for Osas,his defending come to questioning today.

Alfredah01:
Attention Attention... instead of this old fool to call down and be loyal so 2baba go show luv to him to do a colabo him, as 2baba dey do lately with most old artist. His just forming relevant dey beff pple wey get money pass am and archieve alot more than him. Someone pls advice him tht this can't help his dead carrier.

2baba and Eedris belong to d same generation,they came out almost d same time, Remedies doing their own and plantashiouz boys doing their own.

Eedris is 43 while 2baba is 42,so don't categorised d stupid man as one of d old musicians coz he doesn't deserves it with his latest ranting.

One thing is glaring Eedris lack d talent to carry on with d emergence of new artists even talented artists like 9ice,faze,sound soultan,Darey,Dbanj are finding it difficult to cope.

He should just ask d Psquare how far or what is their unique selling point coz they still remain relevant in d scheme of things.

Honestly is not even necessary for him to bounce back before making money in music industry coz i still see Darey making more live show in a classical way, same thing Paul Ik Dairo,multi national companies contact this guys for massive event.

Mujtahida:
Kai, that bicycle kick do us something. We began to sing: another Rashidi don land. Ogbeche went to the world cup and flopped.

naija una no dey forget

comodo:
This is something else. Sunday MBA to bench etebo or iwobi?? Dude wasn't quality, he scored 2 goals, that was all his contribution.finish. the guy was poor both technically and otherwise. He was lost during confed as well as all the junkies that SK took along with him. Please Etebo and Iwobi are miles ahead of him when you talk of football sense.

Pls,we have move on from this,only me and icon4s knows what we are saying regarding Mba,Etebo,Iwobi.It was a fruitful discussions with no single insult.Thanks

Icon4s:
I dey my house come beat me.


Bros I expected a lot from Iheanacho and still do but mennn... the hype here was something else.

thegoodjoe d karate man dey here

Icon4s:
I was one of those that criticized Keshi for the inclusion of Michael Okechukwu Uchebo in that team. I knew Uchebo right from when he played at the 2009 AYC. He never had a flouring career up till when Keshi called him up for the 2014 WC. So I wasn't expecting anything from him post 2014 WC.

The player I even had some glitter of hope on was Ejike Uzoenyi considering his obvious abilities. But how Ejike's career hit the rocks in the PSL is still shocking.

That's football for u,not all d good players make it to d top

iamdynamite:
To me, i think the standard of the Nigerian league has really dropped, as the best players in the country are not playing in the league.

Check out our performance in contiental competitions lately, its been very abysmal, most of the players in the league are old men hardly will you find a 23 year old player in the league..

i have watched both eze and adeleye closely i think they are not up to par, when push comes to shove i'm not sure they can stand the test of times.perfect example is ejike uzoenyi who shone like a million stars during then chan but what happened when the real test came?

Why always bad example (Uzoenyi) and not good example (Oboboana)

Icon4s:
Flash in the pan. That is what I call it. We know he overachieved in that tournament. I didn't expect much from him going forwards anyways.

Where is also Ejike Uzoenyi?

Flash in pan or not,d Mba name cannot be erased in afcon history,truly d guy cannot replicate afcon form till now,no thanks to Keshi for frustrating d guy out of d team.

Oh Uzoenyi,pls where is Michael Uchebo?

BascoVanVeli:
Right on point bro. Our boys have done us proud in Belgium, we have some of the best young players in the league.

The future is bright for our football, all w need is good administration from NFF,talents scattered all over Europe now left for NFF to maximize it.

Icon4s:
I am fully aware of that.

Ok

Icon4s:
So if Mba was in this current team Rohr would pick him to play AM ahead of Mikel.

AT the bolded. you mean this thing?

pls i based my assertion on Mba of 2013 afcon not Mba of now.Abi not Mba that sent star studded cote d voire packing and gave us only goal in d final,Mba of 2013 in this present squad,then Mikel w need to go back to CM,meaning Onazi w sit out talk less of Etebo

2013 team won Afcon and went to world cup and reach 2nd round,u know i respect this present team a lot but not yet time to compare player like Iwobi or Etebo with Mba of 2013 Afcon, just too early.

Icon4s:
And again who were the other options as Ike Shoronmu was already retiring?

The other day some one was making a case that Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Dele Ajiboye ought to have been introduced into the Super Eagles long before now. I asked who were our 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice goalies when Ezenwa and Ajoboye were coming up? Answer: Enyeama, Ejide, Ayenugba. Were Ezenwa and Ajiboye near the trio then?

Opportunity to perform mostly lies on the availability of the opportunity. If you are good and there a people who are better the availability of the opportunity may not be there.

Let us see Adeleye and Eze again in CHAN in January and then we re-asses them.

OK o

realpoacher:
Omo this one hard o! It is clearer now in black and white. Mba is certainly down the pecking order.

The discussion is not based on Mba current form but based on his afcon 2013 form.

edi287:
Yeah Oliseh might be lacking in the man management aspect, still think he's a great coach and can improve in that area. Unless we can keep Rohr or get another guy like him

Better to get another guy.

Icon4s:
Sunday Mba vs Mikel vs Etebo vs Iwobi vs Aluko. Be the judge.

The same Mikel played behind Sunday Mba as at Afcon.Mba as at 2013 afcon,pls Etebo,Iwobi,Aluko are no match

Icon4s:
If you get my point, I am saying the current quality of the league is lagging in the production of players to match the current quality of the Super Eagles. We have not even finished capping the exciting young players springing up all over Europe in more advanced leagues.

Obaobona and Omeruo took over CB positions from Onyekachi Apam and Dele Adeleye, Ambrose was also a CB. The lack of available options at CB at that time necessitated the introduction of Obaobna and a young Omeruo. Apam had injuries problems while Adeleye was fast losing form

Sunday Mba with the form he was in that 2013 will not make the AM position in this current team. Gba be.

I understand u but on Sunday Mba i disagreed.

Icon4s:
That is the issue, we already have two starting CBs: Balogun and Ekong. And then Awaziem, Agbo and Omeruo are fringe CBs. For you to invite Eze and Adeleye you have to drop 2 out of the regulars and fringe players. What do we need 7 CBs in camp for?

If you agree that Adeleye and Eze are not at par with Awaziem and Omeruo , who are not even regular CBs, what are you inviting them for? Just to come and learn? They should do that in the CHAN Team please.

I believe either Eze or Adeleye,one should take d place of Agbo in d team unless Omeruo is available.

I don't need to wait til CHAN to see a promising player.Enyeama had only one appearance before his superlatives performance against England,when u see a player u know irrespective of d oppositions.

Icon4s:
Just also like Keshi, Yekini, Amokachi, Kanu, Oruma, Okocha, Mikel, name them started from the local league.
What we are looking at now is the current standard of the league compared to the the quality of the Super Eagles

Any player that must be introduced into the team must be better than the player he is displacing from the list. Simple.

You cannot tell me you will pick Adeleye and Eze as back up CBs over Awaziem and Omeruo. If you so chose Adeleye and Eze over Awaziem and Omeruo, well....your choice.

My man pls don't deviate,am i crazy to pick Eze and Adeleye over Awaziem and Omeruo.I said invite this guys to mainstream Eagles for them to learn than inviting player like Agbo.

Pls what was d state of Nigeria league when Mba,Oboboana made super eagles XI.The league may be faulty but that should not stop us from looking inward,that's my point.

I'm one of d people who believed so much in Akpeyi but d recent showing of Ezenwa proved me wrongly coz his calmness in a goalposts is a top notch but is here doing it domestically.

Alhassan Muzzam moved from d same league to Austria vien as a starter,Odey to fc Zurich.Pls we can still find one or two that can sweat it out with our foreign based and get valuable experience.

edi287:
Oliseh.

Oh Olishe,honestly am ardent supporter of local coaches but of recent i realized d foreign ones are far ahead,look at what Rohr is doing presently with d team,playing fatherly role.I had opportunity of meeting Westerhoff sometimes ago and i asked him how did he managed Eagles then and he said all u need is to take them as your children and leave d rest.

Loogan:
Very proud of this guy, this is a incredible feat, considering how much quality defenders play in the ligue 1. He would continue to prove those who came for his head against SA wrong. Those who said he is not ready, Porto b player and all that, it is before your own eyes that just not up to 3months after the South Africa game he is in the team of the week in LIGUE 1, Stats don't lie... it's not all about game time omeruo with all his experience is not has good has he is presently.

Yea am one of d people that criticised him for poor showing against SA and if i may ask u,did he had a good game against SA?

No doubt d guy is young,promising and have great future ahead.Thank God he was able to get a club who believed in him and he hasn't disappoint,making team of d week is a plus for him and should keep it up.Hope he replicate d good form in eagles colour.

Icon4s:
Put them in the same pool as Chidozie Awaziem, Kenneth Omeruo and Uche Agbo. And let the bests be selected for invitation. No sentiments.

Sentiments?look i w never be sentimental w it comes to players invitation to eagles,have pass that level.

Oboboana made it straight from local league,d same thing Sunday Mba,Finidi was playing in local league benching Tijani before moving to Ajax.Amuneke in Zamalek then benching Ikpeba or are u saying no such player again in local league or if I see one with good promise i should continue raving for player like Agbo.

I did not know Eze or Adeleye until this wafu and from what i see so far they can go places if given d chance and necessary support,so expressing my opinions is sentiment coz they are local lads.

swimmer:
Some of you small kids are saying he is trying to be relevant...when he was the wiz kid of the Nigerian music industry...most of y'all weren't born...else you would have known that he is always talking like that...in fact in one of his songs then...he pointedly told tu face that he was the best artiste in plantashun bois but he shouldn't let it get into his head....he was even a bigger start than tu face then...


So give his respect when he is speaking on these boys...he was part of the group who started this new school music all of you are now grooving to...

Before Eedris and remedy...who knew it was possible to sing foreign music with local dialect?

Pls stop insulting d young ones here,as an elder,pls let me ask u simple question, is it right for Eedris to call Dbanj a stupid man.

devigblegble:
Most of you talking thrash about Eedris , u guys just weak me die, Eedris is a legend in these 9ja music industry but all you newbies saying rubbish

Newbie,pls how old are u coz am already a university graduate before Eedris released his solo album.My man Eedris is purely mad period.

chazdhe:
Veteran Nigerian singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, has in a chat with GoldmyneTV blast producer Don Jazzy and singer and former label mate, D'banj, over their split from Mo'hits..

Recall, the veteran artiste has been on a blasting spree, from Mr Eazi to Davido to Wizkid, now he has torn into D'banj and Don Jazzy..

He said;

"I love him, I love him, you know why I love him, he has a drive.. The biggest mistake someone like D'banj made was to leave Don jazzy, D'banj nor get talent oo, na razzmasta he get, if you go America, them go tell you wetin razzmasta mean..

But Don jazzy has the technical back up to make D'banj sound good, I love him for that"

He then went further to blast Don Jazzy for dissing rapper Mode9

Eedris is running mad coz a mad man talk like this,remember how he talked to 2baba,WizKid,recently Davido,Eazi and now Dbanj and don Jazzy.This pure madness and i Hope he get out of it.

Icon4s:
Thank you for this post. Let any Super Egales invitee earn it. No 'slot for home based' sentiments.

Slot for home based, my man i w be d last person to canvass for slot for home based or did u see in any of my comments recommending Eze or Adeleye before even as at last week but base on what am seeing in this WAFU d duo deserves a call up,they are Nigerian and if they didn't meet up,simple let Rohr decide.

tbaba1234:
Awaziem was one of the top players in the last Ligue 1 game, he played. He played un the centre of defence. He is playing at a much higher level than Eze and Adeleye and he is playing regularly.

He is young but he is solid. One bad game is not enough to write him off. With a strong season in Ligue 1, he can only get better.

Honestly am not writing d guy off coz he is still young but i based my judgement on what i saw against South Africa and until he wear green and white jersey again for me to judge.Hope he get better with his club.

On Eze and Adeleye,truly i cannot compare d duo with Awaziem coz Awaziem is far ahead and better expose.What am saying is that d duo can be invited for more exposure.

safarigirl:
defenders are like goalies IMO, they get better with age.

So, thus solid Balogun you see is like this because he has gotten better with age and is much older than Ekong and Awaziem, it's an unfair comparison.

I don't think we need new CBs. What Balogun and Ekong have is gold and Awaziem wikk probably be better next time. Maybe he would be good with Balogun, I personally don't judge players on their debut games cuz I factor in lots of things.

Adeleye and whoever could probably come and play nonsense against Libya sef. Comparing a WAFU Cup game to AFCON Qualifiers is terribly wrong. Let us stop getting carried away by players because of a couple of good shows against poor teams. Na so we shout Uzoenyi for CHAN finish, what happened later?

Give it time

Oh my sister get my point,am not saying Eze or Adeleye are better but they deserve call up to learn from d big boys instead of inviting player like Agbo.

On Awaziem am not ruling d guy off but against South Africa am not impress,hope he bounce back and thank God is having a playing time and he has been impressive in his club and for Rohr to pick him ahead of Omeruo really show that d guy is good.

Truly Uzoenyi disappoint but Oboboana impress and they belong to d same local league then,someone failure should not be a yardstick to judge others or else we miss d good ones.
