TPAND:
Today Mikel performed unexpectedly disappointing. It still points out to his inconsistency. The players played to the Eyptians Charisma today not Mikel's. Our midfield crumbled, despite your technocrat marshaling and dictating our midfield.

Musa and Moses turned midfielders at some point in the game to cover up for Mikel's inefficiency.

Nawah for Nairaland.Kai this is the most useless post I ever seen on nairaland.

safarigirl:
my friend stop being daft. Mikel was one of the best players on that pitch today

thank u my sister,bcs I remembered okocha as a captain w couldn't qualify for 2006 world cup.Don't mind some of them they hate Mikel for no reason as if mikel dey bleep their girls.

Veneto81:

Flexherbal:
Happy married life to the couple.

What a good comment.Thank u for that not like others that are posting thrash,is it a sin for d lady to be a sister to Dino.

seunmsg:
He has only echoed the same sentiments you wailers have been shouting about since Kachikwu made that unfortunate statement. So, how is that greed? As the national leader of the party, he has a responsibility to caution any official of government whose comments doesn't reflect the ideals and principles of the party. He should be commended for standing with the Nigerian people and not condemned.

Pls stop this,Tinubu made d statement against kachicwu bcs his stoge was not appointed as d GM not bcs he loves Nigerians.

Deen77:
Are you saying a man with skeleton in his cupboard should be number 3 position of a country trying to fight corruption?.

Why do we hate this country, how can we progress if you are trying to cover the crime because is a Senate president mind you if Saraki is convicted is a boost to Buhari government locally and internationally because we are know for corruption.

pls my post is simple as ABC.If saraki trial is truly on corruption, then no wahala he can rot in jail but if it's persecutions then is not good for d country.I don't believe u are better Nigerian than I am and I'm free to express my view on issues.I'm not one way traffic man and I don't reason sentimentally.I'm not a wailer or zombie that w turn basic truth upside just to justify their political gladiators.The question I have for u is this,we saraki be prosecuted if he didnt emerge as Senate President?if u can prove this then saraki can die in d prison,I don't care.But from my own observations some people sat some where and said we must finish this guy by all means bcs not finished him we are doomed politically.Nobody can brainwashed me on political drama in Nigeria.Saraki issue is not for me and u but for d political gladiators towards 2019.

Kunbico:
Judas loved Jesus as as bros Saraki loves APC, Judas betrayed Jesus as Bros Saraki betrayed APC. So Bros Saraki must face the Music as Judas faces his own music. That is the law.you can't eat your cake and still have it back. Let the law face it's full course. The prayer of massive is answering. The LORD is good all the time. Mr Frank as collected his own 2 million. So let him flew. His own is coming soon. So Mr Frank beware of masses prayers if you too don't want to go down. Come to Kwara State and see things
yourself
, you will pity people alot.

pls what is happening in Kwara state that is not peculiar to most states in Nigeria.I was in Lagos for 10 days before I jet out of d country and I wept for Nigeria.So Lagos is this and that is just propaganda .

Deen77:
Saraki can't sink d party, let d PDP go back.

I voted for APC bcs I believe Pdp are not doing enough but with the current trend in APC I don't think I w vote for d party come 2019 unless things change for d better bcs Nigerians are groan in pain of economy hardships.I don't know Timi Frank but d man said somethings we should deliberate on but most people in their opinions are attacking this man.My first question is this,did Timi lie on d points he raised or he his talking jargons.The political history of APC attested to d point he raised.If anyone here saying saraki did not contribute to the emergency of APC as a leading party in Nigeria then we are not sincere.The guy single handedly led ameachi and other Governors to decamp to APC.Also led other senators to decamp to APC and raised a very serious allegation on oil subsidy. When he was doing this against his party then,the APC supporters did not call it betrayal but as a Senate President he must be dealt with for going against d party consensus candidate.Another question I need to ask,is saraki trial is on corruption or political persecutions.If saraki trial is on corruption and found guilty then he can rot in jail but Tinubu was charged with d same crime but d same judge handling saraki case set Tinubu free.This is an area I smell persecutions for going against d party order and if eventually saraki is jail then it w not serves as good example to fraudulent people bcs it is political persecutions.It is a pity that Saraki w not survive this bcs d gang against him are not d masses but d selected fews like Tinubu,el rufai,lai mohammed,prof itse sagay,akande and marafa led group in d house who believe that emergence of saraki has led to d disruption of 2019 political calculations which is not for d masses like me and u but for their selfish interest.Back to your question that Saraki's downfall w not have any effect on APC,well let's wait and see how things w unfolds bcs I can tell u that the 5 Governors that decamped to APC broke and shattered Pdp govt.

JoaHynppes:
[size=14pt]lol....Nigerians got to chill thou, those guys tried their f*cking best against a big team. They ain't playing Zimbabwe ffs that's Egypt, y'all learn how to appreciate some stuffs that comes out of your country rather than being against them. This ain't the first time I have been reading y'all insult everything that comes out of Nigeria back and forth even if it's something good....

Personally, I think Nigeria were the better the side. Y'all just admit it, Egypt were very poor...
The same way y'all are complaining about how shitty you played and praising Egypt, same goes to the Egyptians. They gonna complain that their team were very poor but praise Nigerians, trust me.


Whenever barca wins alot of matches they praise Enrique,but whenever they lose they insult Enrique.. That's football buddy

Chatsh!t get banged! [/size]

yea good talk
I watched it here in Dubai and d Egyptians were saying Egypt were luck to get a draw and that goal was pure offside.To me Eagles had a decent game.Hope for better outing in Cairo.

Geofavor:
Mumu team, as usual. I predicted 2 - 1 in favour of egypt. With Nigeria being the first to score. Just a lil bit of more added time would have validated my prediction.
Until they let go of mikel and the other old names, our footbal will always be trash.

oh boy wetin Mikel do u

adepiero:
I know he does at least he seems to be the oldest in the squad and most consistent but I don't like the fact that he should be given the band like its his birth right.

go and collect d captain band

Verbalist:
Just a lone goal and he's better than Iheanacho? Come on!

It is a plus to have these two guys around,they are young and promising but comparing them is uncall for,may be op is an arsenal fan.Sometimes club fans talk thrash to support their own.

bobbymartinz:
Who needs him...the guys not even that good, wonder what's all the fuss is about

No my guy we need him.He is a promising player who can become a great player 2moro though d hype is too much

Naijiant:
Friendly matches don't count.

it count my guy

yashau:
recheck your fact and qoute me back... Cheers!

My guy sorry for using word LIE but u got it wrong.Iwobi cannot play for England again bcs he has played for super eagle in a Fifa recognise friendly match and even feature aganst swaziland as a substitute.Pls go and check archive and dispute it.

yashau:

Young Gunn: Iwobi is
officially a Nigeria player if
he faces Egypt on Friday or
next Tuesday
The FA are making a last-ditch
bid to try to stop Arsenal
starlet Alex Iwobi committing
his international future to
Nigeria.
New kid on the block Iwobi is
at the centre of a tug of war
between England and Nigeria
again after becoming a
regular in the Gunners' first
team set-up since the turn of
the year.
The 19-year-old has started
three of Arsenal’s last four
games and capped his full
Premier League debut at
Everton on Saturday with a
man-of-the-match display and
his first Gunners goal.
Forward Iwobi has already
slipped through England’s
fingers once, having played for
the Three Lions’ Under-16,
U17 and U18 sides before
choosing to represent Nigeria
— the country of his birth.
In pictures — Arsenal beat
Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park:
Iwobi – nephew of former
Super Eagles captain Jay Jay
Okocha – has played in two
friendlies for Nigeria, but
won’t be officially tied to them
until he plays a competitive
game.
That has left the door open for
the FA to try to persuade him
to switch back and represent
England - but they are facing a
race against time.
Have your say in our
comments section below
Family guy: Bolton legend
Jay Jay Okocha (right) is
Iwobi's uncle
Iwobi is in line to make his
competitive debut THIS WEEK
after being named in Nigeria’s
squad for their Africa Cup of
Nations qualifying double
header against Egypt, who
they host this Friday before
the away return next Tuesday.
That has prompted desperate
late attempts from the FA to
try to get Iwobi to change his
mind.
There is no suggestion Iwobi
will be fast-tracked into the
senior England set-up and
handed a premature call-up.
But FA chiefs do see him as a
potential future Three Lions
international and know their
hopes of landing him will be
dashed if he plays in Nigeria’s
upcoming games.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger
has backed up the FA’s views
on Iwobi by giving the
youngster a glowing
reference.

Alex Iwobi profiled after his
first Prem goal
He is understood to have told

get him back.

BiafraBushBoy:
APC is a Brand in the SW, NE, NW, NC....

Ask the senators that decamped to AD in oyo state if they ever made it back!!

Let Saraki defect to PDP and he will see for himself if he will ever come back to the senate and all other APC senators from the regions I mentioned!!

Defect to PDP and risk losing your seat!!

Saraki knows that, so he is being carefull!!

if na kwara state forget it,irrespective of political party saraki belong to he w always win.

kunle4toyeyaho:
Saraki is not a disciplined party member. Tinubu's candidate was never Ahmed Lawan, but immediately party picked lawan, he supported him. If Tinubu can drop his VP's ambition for osinbajo, why couldn't saraki do d same thing? The leadership of d party had some 'permutations /calculations ' on ground dat wud make them consolidate on their victory & some of it was d emergence of lawan as candidate of d party , why should saraki distort the calculation? Wasit not d same Tinubu that ensured 100% party structure in kwara State was handed-over to him when he decamped? What else does it want 4rm d leadership of APC that has not been given to him.

Honestly I don't want to comment on any saraki issue again bcs I realized that most opinions here were based on sentiments,but your last paragraph that stated Tinubu gave 100% party structure to Saraki in Kwara state.Did u ever ask yourself why Tinubu despite his political strongness hands off apc party structure to saraki.Let me tell u d hard truth about kwara politics is that u have to align with saraki to have your way or else u are on your own.I want to tell u that Tinubu doesn't have option than to yield to Saraki demand then bcs he knew Kwara politics belong to him and for apc to win Kwara state.

Deen77:
Do you know kwara worker's are on strike for five months salary.

pls leave sentiment,has Aregbesola pay workers salary for 5months.If emir is a puppet to saraki,then what is oba of Lagos to Tinubu.Saraki is corrupt saraki is that is likely to turn cct trial to exercise in futility bcs people like u believe jailing saraki w turn Nigeria into a better country whereas is all propaganda and u guys ve been brainwashed to d extent that saraki must be hanged before judgement,personally I want saraki case to serve as deteriment to others if found guilty but the way sahara is going about it look so damning suspicious that some people sat somewhere to play on our intelligents.Saraki case is a script and that script is not for Nigerians like u and me but d power that be centered around 2019.

bonechamberlain:
useless write up... sahara reporters trying hard to tarnish the image of saraki and anyone close to him. to make sure saraki has no powerful supporter. we all know saraki is a thief why throwing the names of people associated with him to the mud...

useless journalists.

it sahara are desperate on saraki issue to d extent of writing thrash. They should stop this or else people w not believe them again.

‎RE: Bukola Saraki: Sunset At Noon. By Sulyman Buhari. 

When British philosopher and social critic‎, Bertrand Russell opined that, "Whenever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure", ‎he must have had characters like Iyiola Oyedepo on mind.

It is instructive to note that, Iyiola, the author of an op-ed article titled, "Bukola Saraki: Sunset At Noon"‎, is the embattled chairman of the deceased Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State‎. 

For Iyiola, his recent vituperation is not unpredictable. He is perpetually ‎inclined to bitterness and everything anti-Saraki. He belongs to the class of hypocrites and demagogues who believe the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki is the only political factor diminishing their political relevance and dampening their political survival in the politics of Kwara State. Therefore, he couldn't have surmounted the temptation of concealing his excitement at the realisation that his fellow-traducers have set the machinery of the law against his first enemy. 

Before I address the crux of his most recent diatribe against the person of the Senate President, I wish to digress in order to convincingly establish why comments and opinions of Iyiola have ceased to hold water in the political landscape of Kwara State. Kwarans no longer listen to him as much as they no longer believe him. It remains a potent premise upon which Nigerians should ignore and disregard his latest ‎layers of lies, catalogue of half-truths, wild assertions, ‎hallucinations, expressed delusions.

I must admit that before his emergence as the chairman of the opposition PDP in Kwara State, he has cut an image of an acclaimed self-righteous social critic and public affair analyst for himself. He had written articles on internal democracy within political parties, governance and quite a few topical issues. 

As if the gods wanted to shame him, he once again emerged party chairman. He ruined his party with undemocratic actions, and ‎greedy appetite for wealth, like he betrayed his former party, the Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN). He turned out to be worse than persons in positions of authority who had been the subjects of his criticisms. The veil shielding the hypocrite was uncovered. The hypocrite was exact opposite of all he had written in the past. He lived a fake life, you may say. As the party chairman, if he was accused of diverting party funds to buy himself SUV on Monday, the next day; he would be alleged of failure to disclose funds he got on behalf his party from the looters of yesterday at Abuja. He couldn't even lead his executive committee of less than 50 persons, so conducting credible congresses and party primary election for his party members never happened. Having looted his party and in respect to other scandals, he has on himself the toga and stains of corruption.

Therefore, it is preposterous for the hypocrite to have attempted to put the Senate President in the group of ‎convicted Nigerians. Dr. Saraki doesn't belong to the group of infamy. Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki belongs to the group of distinguished Nigerians who have paid their dues for the sustenance of the Nigeria's nascent democracy over the last two decades that he held privileged positions of leadership in the country. He belong to the group of Nigerians who have ever pursued their dreams of a better Nigeria despite hurdles placed on their ways by their adversaries. 

In his latest article, ‎the hypocrite made futile and vain attempt to rewrite the history of Kwara politics since 2003 till date. It was a false and faulty chronicle. The piece is as faulty as the writer, who lacks credibility to speak on such issues. However, since the ongoing trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is the crux of his most recent diatribe, I will, therefore, move to address some of the issues raised.

Like the hypocrite admitted in the article, the trial of the Senate President is politically-motivated. It only further confirms that the conspiracy transcends a single party. Really, there is no reasonable reason why the ICPC, EFCC, SFU and other agencies of the State would not have thrown out the litany of petitions written against the Senate President and sponsored by Mr Iyiola, as he admitted, when the contents were largely frivolous, false and unsubstantiated. Like those thrown-away petitions, this trial will soon phaseout. 

Meanwhile, it is unfortunate that the hypocrite could betray his professional competence when he insinuated that the ‎decision of the legal counsels to the Senate President to explore preliminary legal options is that of a guilty person trying to evade judgement. That is untrue. The hypocrite as a supposed lawyer should know that despite the Supreme Court judgement, the issue of jurisdiction cannot be acceptably settled without reference to section 6 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). 

On the same issue, a professor of Con‎stitutional Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ben Nwabueze recently said, "he (Senate President) has a contitutional right to be tried in accordance with Section 6 of our Constitution. To go against that is to put into jeopardy our constitutional system. The Supreme Court should not be allowed to put all of us into this kind of jeopardy. This country belongs to all of us, not to the Justices of the Supreme Court alone". The above quote is instructive to cure the ignorance of Mr. Iyiola and his fellow-tranducers. 


I wish to reiterate that the true test of leadership is the amount of challenges that are faced and surmounted. As a former Presidential Adviser on Budget, two-term Governor of Kwara State, Chairman of the Nigerian Governors' Forum and now a second-term Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it will be preposterous to think that Senator Bukola Saraki's path will not be rough.


This ongoing politically-motivated trial is therefore part of the rough paths of leadership and like those challenges he has faced and surmounted in the past, this too shall pass. It has come and it will go. 

If only Iyiola had harkened to the advice of Martin Luther King, Jr, that, "Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness", perhaps, he wouldn't have come out to dance naked in the public square.

This guy u get time oh.Bukola may be corrupt but people like iyiola oyedepo should keep quiet bcs they are deceiver and myopic when we talk of political growth in Kwara state.

timilehin007:
Buh bro the guy is learned o...he's educated unlike pasuma and the rest

well it's a plus for d guy but u must be his fan for knowing he is educated.But what has education got to do with endorsement.

slimfit1:
God bless you oh i tire oh we are not all stupid like people in kwara state oh please try another believable excuse please start again.

This is the kind madness and waste that he is used too, as long as he is living large everybody else can go and die.

I am yet to see a common sense law passed since he became president of the Senate.

u must be a fool for calling kwarans silly.Pls tell me your state and I w address u properly.IDIOT

princfred:
Nothing has to do with humility here but everything with stupidity, mismanagement and corruption in the NFF and only such couragoues smart action like that of Oliseh will tell stop the NFF. Three resignations like this will stop the NFF from messing with coaches.

pls my guy stop this accolades on Olishe and stop insulting people for expressing their view on his resignation. I know u are pro Olishe and there is nothing u can do to convince people to reason along with u bcs Olishe mess it up from d beginning. I quite i agreed with u that nff lack management but Olishe being an ex player must have known that working with nff is a hell,keshi,siasia and other coaches face it and it should not be a surprise to Olishe.One thing is very clear Olishe cannot handle super eagle period.

captainjoh:
its has become an experience for kelechi. They needed to win that match and no time. Its not every goal u celebrate, he should have pick the ball and run back that's how to celebrate that kind of a gaol. When walcot equalized in arsenal match that was what he did, and they went on to win

pls don't compare Walcott and iheanaco goal celebration.Leicester city was one man down and Walcott believe that they should capitalise on d advantage while iheanaco goal was an equalizing goal against top contender in d league Tottenham.

mart2k:
Tell us d reason or u shut up for live. Is dis d first time a player wl score without jubilation frm his team mates? Answer me pls

my friend no be fight oh
A great Thierry Henry have said it all that something must be fishing for man city players not to celebrate that goal,mind u it was an equalizing goal against top league contender Tottenham.

Badosqi:
because it was just an equalizer in a most win game. The lost to Leicester last week and can't afford to draw or lose to Tot.

An Aguero scoring that goal will probably not celebrate the goal, he would have carried the ball back for Tots to restart the match.

They didn't celebrate with him because they were rushing back to the half way line for the match to continue and push for more goals.

No my guy u got it wrong.A goal must be celebrated no matter what and that goal by iheanaco was a perfect one against top side.The players must have their reason of not celebrating not that they lost to Leicester city prompt non celebration.

olatade:
and here you are dolling out sense abi?some people just log into the Internet to transfer aggressions unecessarily,it's just an opinionated argument about soccer so why the insults?

My brother sorry for the insults and unnecessary aggression but u know u deserve it bcs your post on Mikel relating to Newcastle match shows sentiment and hatred on Mikel personality,u should expect more insults from people bcs your opinion lack football reason.

kannymoore:
Mehn..you folks should leave oliseh and the super eagles alone to do his job.

All these distractions aren't adding any value to his cause and the super eagles in general.

And of what use is the technical comittee anyway? Who the heck are they individually?

Paul bassey is just basically a journalist who was elected to the caf comittee by association of the late prof erok ego. Finish

Mutiu Adepoju was a failure as a club manager and led shooting stars to relegation .

Victor ikpeba is a poor football analyst...everyone who's watched him on supersports knows this is the truth.

Who again...? Christian Chukwu ? Anyone with half a brain knows that he has nothing "technical" upstairs to offer


Now, can you guys imagine that set of folks, with their years of "technical experience" have not for once had the initiative to organize one a single grade A friendly for the super eagles since they came on board, and yet have the temerity to call Oliseh to order over allegations that border on truth.

Mehn... They all deserve to be flogged.. the whole lot of them.

Nonsense.

Paul Bassey's own dey irk me pass set! This is a guy who hasn't kicked a ball in his life.. and hasn't passed through the trials and tribulations of what being a Nigerian footballer entails... But yet dey have the temerity to form holier-than-thou for Oliseh front......


Dem suppose whooze the whole lot of them betta slaps!

Rabbish!

I remember mutiu as Spanish liga player when u find it difficult to see Africa players in that league,ikpeba as former Africa footballer of d year,Chukwu captain of famous 1980 afcon winner and Paul Bassey a well recognized sport journalist even by FIFA,then your post hold no value bcs it failed to address d main issue.I don't think a sensible Nigerian w support Olishe on this issue(insulting Nigerians for mere criticism)

blazetitov:
Bro, did you say working? Who are the wise men for Brazil and Germany? They are working and our football is such in a terrible state? What is our ranking on FIFA world ranking of countries? Oga, give us a break. No time to massage anyone's ego. They are not adding value!!

Then your Olishe is adding value.Pls stop insulting people bcs of highly insane coach that lack total respect for Nigerians.When Keshi was d coach he must report to technical committee but with Olishe now,technical committee must go to a hell.Double standard personality and people like u make things so difficult for us in this country.
