he is Nigerian from the igbo tribe
I've met Rio we don't talk just acknowledge, from all the people around him I know him to be Congolese in origin.

Once again I don't rate him so highly . He played 24 games for Liverpool U18's and scored 2 goals. I watched several of those games up close and personal.

So Rio Ngumoha is of Nigerian descent...
Quality baller.....
Could be a revelation this season if given enough minutes with Liverpool first team
From what I know from his Father and brother, we are not friends. They are from Congo

Funnily I didn't rate Ngouhma that much he has been given undue opportunity not by merit

Your argument is now premised on the initial point I made which makes the entire back and forth unnecessary. I said "Discrimination is a difficult concept to explain to Nigerians because our nation by design encourages discrimination"

I already conceded that we by design encourage discrimination and so may find it difficult a concept to appreciate which is exactly what's happening here. It's why the president can lopsided political appointments that favours his ethnic leaning and the next person is just waiting for an opportunity to get into power to do his own. So I don't disagree when you say "such a case cannot fly in court here" cause of course it won't but not for lack of merit.

Let me just say this conclusively, Presidents aren't kings who can do as they like. The authority of their office is back by a document called the constitution which sets the guardrails for the extent of their authority. So comparing presidential pardons which has constitutional backing to rewards that do not is faulty thinking in my opinion. If the President by his prerogative pardons someone, he's doing so because by the constitution he is allowed that latitude. So he isn't acting outside of ambit if his authority. So a President can for instance grant presidential pardon to only those of his ethnic background and he is protected by law to do so. It is why every president by law also selects a minister from every state because the constitution mandates it. So a president can detest a region of the country but must by law select ministers from said region. The framers intended for this provision to give some semblance of equality and protect against discrimination.

Giving financial rewards to athletes however isn't. There's no provision for subjective spending by the executive in our laws, It's why we have a budget. You also have to research when gifting athletes money started. It was during the military era when the head of state was a law to himself. So this culture was borrowed from a system of government that allowed for that latitude. Right now, doing so without guardrails is discriminatory. The fact that one may be able to get judgment on this in a Nigerian courts doesn't make it any less discriminatory.
Permit me to deviate momentarily.

You are either dreaming and need to WAKE UP.

There is no "Rule of Law" there is now convergence of powers as opposed to " Seperation of Powers" We don't have a President we have an Emperor , who is the law, creates it and is above it.

This is the reality.

Arrogant view as usual, if an English player gets the kind of coverage or attention in Turkey VO is getting or anywhere else it will be huge news, ok? VO going to Turkey was never a function of quality in the first place.
No quality top level English player in his prime will go to Turkish retirement league.

This is truth and fact you call it arrogance.

QueenJazz:
To start with, my position is not about judging Osimhen's choice. Whatever Osimhen chooses to do with his career is none of my business. I am just making my own personal observations on what I believe is the optimal environment for a player of his stature, and no disrespect to Galatasaray - I know they're a very solid team and will be playing in the UCL, and may likely go very far - but respectfully, and in light of the current state of affairs, I simply don't see the Turkish League as one for someone of Osimhen's caliber. And frankly I don't think there's anything he'll do in that league that would impress me that much. Simple. We all don't have to agree with each other. Would I rather he be in the Top 5 leagues in Europe? Absolutely yes, because right now, they're more competitive and will boost his global brand even further to match or even exceed that of Kanu and Okocha. Is there anything I can do about it? NO. And I've made my peace with it.

If Osimhen thinks the Turkish league best suits him, then good for him. Like I said, the only thing wey concern me be say make the bobo turn up for our international games and perform well. That's why I'm satisfied with the fact that he'll still be active. That's what matters more to me. Afterall nobody gives a hoot about Vincent Aboubakar until he's playing games for Cameroon. And he performs well there.
Money 🤑 is not everything, Rashford has gone to Barcelona taking a considerable pay cut. He takes it as a challenge and he has something to prove.

What does he do, he heads to Barcelona to prove himself and his doubters wrong.

VO has chased 🤑💰 over legacy and world class fame. He is not getting younger but wants to play Turkish league in his prime. It's his prerogative.

With regard to his performance for the SE, he was not great in the last AFCON scoring one goal 🥅 for a player with World class ambitions, is not good enough.

Maybe he will show the world what he can do when he gets us to the next world 🌎 cup.

In the same week Nigerians are being bashed in some foreign countries but make we celebrate the ones giving us a good reputation out there na problem. I bet if it was an English player getting this vibe in Turkey it will be in the British media all week cos they know that’s a huge thing for their country but no for us we must become critical of anything good and that’s why small countries like Ghana diss us a lot cos we have rubbished ourselves before them. If we like make we continue this stupid habit and think we are being clever, imagine Morocco petitioning CAF alleging that we used ineligible players that’s how they don see us finish including Libya pulling useless stunts on us few months ago. But do I blame them of course not because we Dey yeye ourselves too much out there on top nothing.
Which quality English player will go to Turkish league unless for retirement.

You guys should learn to calm down..
Una just dey cry about this move since..
You can't know what's best for him more than the one wearing the shoes himself..

You're looking from the outside..
I'm sure the whole details of why he ended up on Galatasaray have not been released..

Give the guy a break
Osimhen has done no wrong..
When ADL wanted to frustrate him last season, Gala gave him a way out..
See the lengths they have gone to sign him up now.. see the sacrifice!
It's difficult to turn away from that kind of love and desire..

They are even buying players and strengthening their squad to make them more competitive ..

Na so una talk about PSG being in a farmers league until they flog everybody last season..

Again I say, you guys should learn to calm down
Make season start, I trust Victor to shut everybody up .. Hausa league or not
Unfortunately Dude 😎 the only person SHUTTING UP and getting out of the discussion now of top strikers is VO.

Who goes to play in the retirement league in their Prime 🤔

The same AGF that gave credence to the complete trampling of our very fragile constitutional democracy.

When he sanctioned the UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ILLEGAL & UNLAWFUL suspension of an elected governor, then anchored ⚓ the ratification of a "state of emergency" on an illegal vote without a 2/3 counted majority vote in the national assembly.

The CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY further destroyed with a civilian military coup with a Presidential appointed state administrator 😮 that is COMPLETELY unknown to law and the constitution.

That Aberration was even further extended with illegality when the Federal executive allocated Rivers state funds against a Supreme Court Ruling. Was dispersed to the person of an illegal state administrator without budget and or accountability.

In reality these are actually undoubtedly without question ❓ TREASONABLE ACTS .

Mybettingtips:
It’s easier to sign Ekitike because of his small salary at Frankfurt. He’s earning 60k weekly at Frankfurt. They can easily sign him and offer him bigger wages at Liverpool

Wirtz was earning £76k weekly at Leverkusen but Liverpool poured €130m on him.

Same with Gyokeres, he’s earning 40k weekly at Sporting. Arsenal can sign him with big money and offer him bigger wage.

Osimhen’s case is different. Napoli want 75m and Osimhen wants 300-400k. How many clubs can match this easily when they can sign other players around 50-100k and offer them new wages of 150-250k?
So you must be a HATER making such common sense bssic truths. He is simply over priced.

Because Napoli are willing to pay you crazy money 🤑 that doesn't mean other clubs will too.

Very simple

But, on many occasions, Victor Osimhen has drifted to the wings and have done well. I don't think he will have trouble there. It is just his build and pressure that makes coaches always up for him to play upfront.
Dude 😎 be realistic 😜 stop 🛑 capping.

VO is determined beyond measure and relentless in his drive to win he is also very direct and is a quintessential number 9.

However, trickery, skill, dribbling and the technical ability to play wing that's not his game.

But if you want to see things from rose 🌹 tinted spectacles 🤓 that's you choice.

TheGoodJoe:
Osimhen will comfortably adapt. It will take some tactical switching of his play. Rely more on off the ball runs. Focus on passing to free players and offer the forward line high pressing.

That is why I would prefer Osimhen going to a top club and work with a top system.
VO has never played wing in his entire career.

Don't think he is technically astute to start playing wing and even if he tried too many players who are way better than him on the wings.

You can see from the post "Ekiteki very high on the list"
Liverpool are ready to drop 120m for Isak
So if they were serious with Osimhen his wages and transfer fee wouldn't be an issue
I made that post because of the people hammering on reduce your wages and join liverpool
Let me quote Arne Slot, verbatim ;

Specifically, regarding the positions 7, 9, and 11, Slot is looking for players who can fulfill multiple roles


Look at the modern game with players able to adapt to multiple positions. So for instance Mbappe, Isak, Rashford , Watkins,Greenwood, Salah, and of course Ronaldo are all adapt at playing on the wing as 7or 11 or as the quintessential 9.

Would you say VO can play 7+11, l remember watching Diaz play as a 9 for Liverpool. That may be the issue as well versatility and adaptability added to what many believe he is over priced.

See your lives outside
You have a twisted sense of reasoning, because somebody disagrees with your opinion or view that doesn't constitute an INSULT.

Sheffield United, QPR and Middlesbrough are tracking Tim Iroegbunam with Everton open to loaning the midfielder out.
He has been inconsistent as well as plagued with injury 🤕 he may get a label as injury prone.

Don't think he has been able to play 10 games without injury since arrival that's stunted his progression then again he is only just turned 22.

He should go to another league or the championship and stay injury free and reinvent himself.

Mujtahida:
What you just said is entirely beside the point of your initial post.
Just like comodo you completely lack understanding and fail to grasp the contextual nature of my response.

So forgive me others from the departure 🛫 from football ⚽ somewhat.

First of all, "Rule of Law" mean complete submission to the law without question ⁉️ When that principle is ingrained and established in society over decades it cannot be divided or put aside from the make up of society.

The cultural norms and values of Rule of law become indisputable and institutionalised the possibility of departure is very marginal. Everybody knows what is right, the law can be very simplistic and does not require adjudication from the Judiciary because it's intrinsically clear plain and simple. There is complete buy in by society and adherence.

In Nigeria the law is quite obviously clear and simple but because our governments are largely lawless as well as politicians painting 🖌️ black 🖤 to white 🤍. We then engage a corrupt compromised Judiciary to give spurious judgment to support the LAWLESS and UNCONSTITUTIONAL excesses of government.

In the UK if you give an order irrespective of your position President, Prime minister, General, etc If tha order it s not sanctioned by LAW, nobody will obey it because it's against the law. Again because in general everybody concedes to the Rule of law.

If you award a contract without the due diligence of the legal procurement process it will not be covered by law and it will therefore be unlawful and the contract becomes null and void. As a consequence nobody wants to be a party to lawlessness and face a financial loss.

The requisite qualifications to contest elections are there for all to see if you don't meet them nobody will sanction you to contest the election. In addition anybody even a brick 🧱 layer can complain and you will be disqualified, who ever sanctioned you to contest will face severe sanctions.

When there is Rule of law ,the need to seek continuous interpretation of simplistic matters from the courts is simply nullified.

But we know when when it's written in clear black and white our public and governmental institutions including the NFF will be turning black 🖤 to white 🤍.

Our problem is that there is no rule of law and unfortunately no adherence to it both in public and secret. Look at how the NFF is run it reflects the nations lawlessness. But more so the general populace have no Idea of the rule of law and feel no need to demand adherence by our representatives so accept rule of chaos and corruption as being normal.

Look at how many ministers caught in minor refractions and or dishonorable conduct immediately resign in the UK. That will never happen in Nigeria people like Sia Sia, Salisu, Amunike, etc and others should never be allowed near otu football. But it's normal practice they are still part of the NFF and influential.

Many of us simply cannot comprehend a society with the Rule of law entrenched into society cultural norms and values. So I understand comodo and you with regards to your responses.

It's not 🚫 your FAULT.

This isn't a fair commentary on the matter. What Osimhen does with what he's legitimately earned has no bearing on how he navigates the next phase of his career. Assuming Osimhen concedes and decides to reduce his wage to fit the wage structure of the EPL clubs. He'll still be rich enough to buy a 1 Billion Naira car every month should he decide to. So let's stick to the making commentary on his decision on it's merit without calling to question the players motivations and intentions.

For clarity, I'm not particularly pleased with Victor moving to Turkey, but I also understand I can't grieve more than the bereaved. There are intricacies to the decision that we obviously aren't pricy to. Also, he deciding against reducing his wage may be a matter of principle and nothing more. We all know for a player of his pedigree who has a different heritage, no EPL club will be making that request.

We should also consider Victor's wage request isn't unreasonable. He isn't asking to be the most paid player in the EPL. He wouldn't even be the most payed player in the clubs in question should he join them. He may very well consider it disrespectful this is being asked of him and he wouldn't be wrong. He may has well conclude the gesture is signal that these clubs don't consider him as priority and he also wouldn't be wrong.
Although majority isn't always RIGHT.

Where the market is concerned whatever the majority of the market decides is RIGHT.

He can value himself whatever he likes it's completely irrelevant, what matters is what clubs are prepared to pay for him thats the KOKO, the rest is just noise making.

As it stands it seems the ship 🚢 has set sail and he will very unfortunately 😔 be playing in the retirement Turkish league. Instead of the top leagues in Europe very sadly.

Why do your his fanatical supporters wonder 🤔 why nobody is willing to pay him as quintessential number 9 top level excellent striker ❓❓

So in England, without a matter being brought before the Supreme Court of England, the court will just take it up by themselves and make pronouncements? Na wa!
Because there is unquestionable constitutional rule of law. This matter will be considered comedy and will not even get before a magistrate court.

Nobody, the police , elected governor will obey and or enforce the ILLEGALITY. In addition even the illegal state administrator and President will both be arrested for TREASON ( No immunity for treason before the law)

Galatasaray has agreed to pay the complete €75M release clause for Osimhen!

Last details are being sorted out!

This is an example of a club that knows what the want. I'll say it again, phucc Premier League clubs! I'm genuinely surprised at how "Galatasaray" are very intent on signing this guy!
Galatasaray is not as rich as the Big Six in the Premier League, but see how they are willing to spend everything to sign Osimhen, it shows they know his worth, it shows they value him and it shows they respect him.

The most expensive signing in the Turkish league history was €20M – En-Nesyri in 2024. Osimhen will set a record of €75M!

I'm just disappointed in every Nigerian that wanted Osimhen to reduce his wages for PL clubs.

Osimhen was on €12M salary at Napoli
Galatasaray will now pay him €16M annually

If they can do this, there's no team in the Big Six that can't. They just want to water down his worth. They can gettout!

HERE WE GO soon 🔜 ⏳
Jubilation upon jubilation look at triple standard with bigotry.

A young player full of promise and potential is going to Turkish retirement league, and you want to say it's good. Just because it's VO.

How can you even attempt to compare Haaland to VO they are on totally different levels.

Do you know that since age 18 Haaland has never scored less than 20+ league goals in a season. He is also two years younger than VO, a complete enigma tested, proven and established WORLD 🌎 CLASS.

In comparison VO has only scored more than 15 league goals once in his entire career in a top 5 league in Europe.

All of the aforementioned are not in dispute though. I am quite familiar with how bad things are administratively at the NFF which I'm turn leads to logistical nightmares for the players. The subject however is on the flight from Atlanta to Rio which Mikel has severally claimed he paid for when he didn't.

I don't need convincing to know the NFF owes Mikel money for some of the things he personally catered for, the flight to Rio just isn't one of them which is the point.
Honestly the problem is precedent.

Can a leopard 🐆 change it's spots , I am more inclined to believe Mikel. What's disturbing 😱 is the deafening silence 🤐 from other players. I guess 💭 nobody wants WAHALA, who TRUTH help for Nigeria.

This is not rocket science. Osimhen reducing his wages for "Premier League clubs" because they're "Premier League clubs" will only make him look stoooopeed at the end and even be a very bad precedent for upcoming African players that want to play in the Premier League. The wage reduction is not even minimal, the reduction is disrespectful for a player of his status.

This is very very very simple! As simple as ABC! OMOOOO!
What status ❓

Too many clubs if not all the top clubs in the top five leagues don't seem too value him the way we do here. And it's not because he is African, Drogba, Etoo, Mane, Salah, etc did not come from Europe.

Did Mikel lie about paying for the private jet that took the players to Brazil? Yes or He could have been mistaken. (This is being gracious).

Did Mikel pay for their food and accommodation prior to their trip to Brazil? Yes. Even the coach Siasia acknowledged he helped clear some bills at the hotel.

Siasia was correct to say Mikel didn't pay for their flight to Brazil cause this was corroborated by the camp organizer in Atlanta, Bunmi Jinadu. He explained how Delta called him and offered to transport the player from ATL to Rio. He's a link to a snippet of the interview he had explaining this.



Again, It's obvious Mikel handled some bills for the team, but not their flight. He probably initially misconstrued that he did, but he's stuck to the story for many years and has refused to recant obviously. This doesn't include anyway justify Siasia's behaviour which I have called out many times.
Dude 😎 there is a lot that players don't talk about.

But I know when they are going to camp they pay for their flights with the understanding that NFF will reimburse but they NEVER DO.

There was an occasion they wer going from Abuja to Sudan and the plane chartered looked like a flying coffin ⚰️. Enyemae offered to charter a better and safer plane but the NFF declined everybody prayed fervently.

I have occasions wheh flight's are not booked from UK you know find out 24hrs before departure. Players will turn charter a private jet ticket to get there on time.

The Sia Sia I know can never at that time and even now say no to a £50k bribe whatever shape it takes.

And what Mikel Obi said I know to to be totally true. I know on several occasions when players would pay the hotel bills for the whole team when in camp for friendly games in London.

The NFF officials were always giving a cock and bull story that money has not arrived. That to cover public embarrassment can some players pay that would fall on the senior players like Mikel, Yobo & Utaka .

They promised to reimburse but everybody knew that was never going to happen.

Do you remember when the NFF would always pay players in cash not by bank 🏦 transfer. Why do you think 🤔 they did that ❓

So who do you think is better between Tammy and Osimehn?... At least Osimehn has scored 26 goals in a Top 3 league in the world even if it's only once, has Tammy ever matched that record?... Except of course if you want to say that the English Championship is better than the Serie A.




Osimehn suffered a worse injury in 2021 breaking his facial and cheek bone. That injury is far lethal than any ACL Tammy must have picked up. His face was broken and his eyeballs popped out from his eye sockets.

He had 9 stitches and still wears masks till today. So what are you even saying.

You have a big problem, a very big one,... The least you can do is appreciate the efforts of those trying (even you don't rate them), before attempting to promote your preferences.

Since 2018, we have had this conversation about who is better between Tammy and Osimehn. We have given you practical reasons why Osimehn is better.

But in your self bigoted Bias and self centeredness, you have refused to admit that Osimehn have proven tremendously that he is far ahead of your innit' client.

Even though he is homebred, deprived of access to quality training environment earlier in life (like his other homegrown colleagues), people like you have turned yourself to "abroad village" people on his case. You have refused to see the hard work Osimehn has Putin to get to the level that he has.

FYI, ... Osimehn has more career goals than Tammy, more Series A goals than Tammy. So with or without your acknowledgement, the facts are in the open.
....................

All I see here is a proud hater of Osimehn and a very ignorant one at that.... I have your time and I will school you properly.
Is the subject who is better or you just created the narrative and essentially out of PREJUDICE & DISLIKE for Tega.

I talked about the demise of Tega and how he has ended up in retirement league, THAT'S ALL.

I didn't mention VO but you had to find a way to introduce the comparison but WHY.

That Nonsensical proposition based on wind and fresh air that I HATE ,your idol VO is birthed from what .

I have said many a time I think VO is an excellent striker but is simply not world class yet. That to be world class you have to hit 🎯 top excellent levels of performance continuously and consistently over time.

Players in his age range or even younger like Haaland and Mbappe as well as Lewondosky and Kane have done that over time.

But back 😞 to Tega and the topic of injury.

Injury is part of football ⚽ and how you manage it and prevent it crucial to your progression as a football ⚽ player. Consider Salah, Ronaldo, Semenyo,etc this has pushed them up being injury free.

You are bigoted hypocritical and misguided in your naked prejudice.

VO had several fractures hairline included to cheekbone and eye socket that required a plate and screws, terrible 😔 injury 🤕 what's the recovery time ⁉️one month he was back playing within two month's.

ACL injury recovery is 6-12 months even longer now getting match fitness after a year out can take a whole season. Consider Van Dyke after his ACL it has taken over two year's to get back to his top level performance.

Tega was injured June 2023 and returned with his first 10 minutes of football in April 2024. Missed essentially a whole season and to get match and sharpness much longer sometimes even never.

And you are comparing the two injuries, don't you see how bigoted you are . Because you want to present a false narrative that somebody hates your Idol VO.

realpoacher:
At Bolded, I am bemused at the fact that you have never considered Osimehn injury woes in Italy whenever you decide to bash him and call a one season wonder.

Yet, here you are giving excuses for Tammy's failure in Serie A owing to Injury.

Can you in all honesty tell me why I shouldn't call you a hypocrite and a hater of Osimehn?
Do you know the meaning of Hypocrisy.

With regards to VO you are claiming a double standard one standard for VO and another standard for Tega, where I am concerned and therefore I am being hypocritical.

VO has still had only one season in Europe top league's where he has scored more than 15 league goals.

You are the one making a double standard by saying it's because he was injured that's why he has only scored more than 15 league goals in top European league once in his career.

So no other footballer has been injured VO was the only player suffered injury, you are effectively calling him injury prone. This is the reason he has only had one break out season in Europe top leagues, according to you.

Do you know how many injuries Tega has suffered throughout his career ❓

But you being a being balanced and fair by comparison assume the only person suffering injury in European football is VO. You are very objective 😌

Tega a player who scored at 18 years of age 23 goals in the English Championship rated 5th in Europe courtesy of one contributor here.

Tega suffered a Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, no longer career ending but takes considerable time to recover depending on the person. It can be less than 6 months or over 12 months, depending on age and individual physiology.

Has VO suffered an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury no not all,l pray he never does.

So look in the mirror 🪞 and see the real hypocrite.

TheSuperNerd:
Quit the shalaye by referring to his past. Stick to he here and Now of his mediocrity.

This is the koko here, if Tammy Abraham doesnt match Victor Osimhen's exploits in Turkey, then you would bathe in bitter leaf soup water for one week.

Samueltemi337:
Tammy Abraham to Besiktas
That's shocking
Shockingly 😲 unexpected.

A player at age 21 was the highest goal 🥅 scorer for Chelsea 2019/20, incredible potential at that young age. He then falls out of favour with Tuchel denied game time, etc

He then goes to Roma in 2021 and scores 17 goals in Seria A. He gets a terrible ACL injury and has never seemingly been able to get back to his higher levels.

He is now in the retirement league at age 27 on a €20 million transfer with Besiktas.

Sad 😔 but a painful football ⚽ reality.
