It must be a special deal for NATO members! It MUST be!?

Edit: are the Uke HMGs and AGLs a deal? If not what guarantees as to quality, maintenance and after sales services exist?

VillageBus:
Nwakali is playing as an AM today and have created two correct chances in the first 30mins.

TheGoodJoe:

Please, were you the one that delivered him to know age cheating?

You talk with authority things that you do not know. Amokachi told Westerhoff when he invited him to camp that he was a small boy. He told the coach he was only 16 years old to go to Super Eagles camp. Westerhoff convinced him that he was good enough.

Is that the mindset of an age cheater?

Na wa for you.

TheGoodJoe:

What about Mba and Oboabona? If Keshi listened to you, he would not have taken them to the AFCON and they would not have contributed their bits to help us win the trophy.

TheGoodJoe:

Amokachi was 16 years old when he was playing for Rancher Bees and Westerhoff spotted him.

komekn:
Amokachi was not 16 ,he was playing at Ranchers Bees when called to the SE.

And that subjective exception should not be the rule

TheGoodJoe:

Tell that to Westerhoff who took a sixteen years old Amokachi to the Super Eagles camp.

CaptainStephen:
The coach finds them outstanding potentials to be given exposure to train with the team.

They are not going to the tournament, I personally don't think it is out of place to give our local players exposure till we have an outstanding and well organized league.

Joebie:
I think they are both on there.. one is listed as a midfielder.

modified
Dede as a winger rather

CaptainStephen:
Onyeka had a good game for Brentford today.

He has been subbed off.

TheGoodJoe:

I see he is a coach that will look into the grassroot to hunt for talents, not only flying around Europe as if that is the only place talent lies.

That impressed me about him.

Joebie:
Shame no dey catch us? Anyway it's not about the graphics, but the players in it.

charlesemeka85:
nwakali na to sit down for bench look and make up numbers

But anything is possible with a local coach in charge and I won’t be surprised even seeing him start ahead of aribo,iwobi or Onyeka

Karlovych:
So before Seyi pointed out a vision they never had one, why would he want to work with clueless people that have a history of incompetence and unprofessional work ethics that are always filled with drama even to the most basic things.
Was it not here that we heard that in 2016 it was Mikel that funded their flight to Rio Olympics after hotel bills couldn't be paid and at times players travel to tournaments with insufficient kits or even pay coaches on time.
Who in the right mind will want to work for such an organization that can't get little things done right, they'll just tarnish his career and pin all the blame on him.

charlesemeka85:
seyi will be messed up by the nff and it’s politics

It’s better he remain where he is

lovewins:
Are those currently in the technical department inept? Have they been able to contribute anything significant since being in the committee? What exactly have they been allowed to contribute to the development of football in Nigeria?

Questions like the ones Seyi asked will at least give you a picture of how interested the said politician is in moving the game forward. A few years down the line, we can all agree he didn't make the wrong decision

lovewins:
I think the underlying answer Seyi was looking for is the big picture of Nigerian football. The Nigerian football federation has no vision, it has no long or short term plan. We for the most part only prepare for tournaments. Anyone who knows his onions avoids settings like that. The last few years has been terrible cause we got a lot of PR with little development. Save the super eagles every other aspect of our football has gone down the drain. From age grade competition and the entirety of women football.

No matter how technically sound Seyi his, a setting like th NFF will make him look incompetent. The vision of the association for football should ideally fork the day to day framework for the technical team. That's why the appointment of the new coach is laughable. He's coming to do what exactly? What are his KPIs? He was smart to refuse the offer

Sugarboyy:
It seems Patrick Viera doesn't rate Eze at all.
Eze has returned from injury in more than a month now and has been making CP bench but till now Vieira still hasn't felt starting him.
I think he has only made a cameo once or twice when Palace were convincingly winning.
Gallagher has taken over and Eze career that started brightly with Palace last season is shacking already this season.

bidexiii:
Has long has its military related, dude no be me spoil Nigeria.
Go hug a transformer for all I care !!!

tutudesz:
I thought this argument was about communities under Bokoharam Control and not banditry

Kogi State gets First Female Air Commodore .

Air Commodore Halima Musa was the only woman among the newly promoted senior officers by the Nigerian Airforce.

Mujtahida:
Let me respond to just the bolded. He has no right to seek such clarification. It is the height of disrespect to the GWG and insult to our sensibilities. It is a recipe for disaster. No matter how good your form, you cannot seek such clarification from your NT coach. Not even Messi or Ronaldo can make such a call. No matter who a player is, the greatest honor your country can extend to you is to invite you. If you want to accept, you accept. If you do not want to accept, just decline. When you accept, you come fight for your place, you sweat it out and stake a claim for yourself. Even if you are not in the first 11, so long as you are part of the team, you give all your effort and energy towards the success of the team.

Assuming he calls Eguavoen and says Heyy coach, you see how hot my form for watford is? Well I can only honor that invite if you assure me that I will have sufficient game time. Eguavoen now says ohhh yes, please come, you will surely have sufficient game time.

How do you think the other players will feel? Rancor, bitterness, animosity and division will spread through the camp because as human beings we recognize this kind of action for what it is: favoritism.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying that Denis should not decline. He has a right to decline. He even would be justified to say that he wants to stay back and help his club. However it is totally unacceptable if he declines on the basis that he wants an assurance that he'd be given a starting place. Such an attitude should not be tolerated at all.

JayromWrites:
"For a better part of his career"


I wasn't comparing him with anyone else, I was just stating what is known to everyone..

I don't think he ever had a good goalscoring run bar the one he is having now


Well, at the end, I wish him well and above all, the GWG is bigger than any player

markfem2:
Does it mean there is no moderator on the sports thread that can maintain some level of sanity here.

COOL10:
I am not surprised with what I'm seeing here. A lot of people never liked Dennis, right from the beginning. The assumptions about his attitude contributed to this.

Dennis never rejected a call up. He even celebrated it on his social media account but due to the ideas people already have about him in their minds, they'd rather believe otherwise.

If you want to kill a dog, give it a bad name, especially when you feel intimidated by that dog. Especially when that dog seems uncontrollable.

But you know one thing about Dennis? He doesn't give a fvck and I love that about him.

dkay51:
Ademola clearly just made the decision to play for Nigeria official this year, he obviously wanted the English FA to make a move. Again, this is not the first time the English FA has delayed the switch of their youth internationals for us, same thing was done with Iwobi's switch.

ChrisKels:

Ejaria the chronic championship flop has also gone through our youth team, I wonder why that hasn't gotten him a place too. You have also gone through the Nigerian system and I wonder why that hasn't gotten you a place in thale Glass-House to change things instead of blabbing and barking here like a rabies dog from January to December, nonstop

12large1:
Lmao our starting 11 nor bad sha.. it’s the bench that’s weak…

Karlovych:
So they process nationality switch faster/slower based on the said player's value? It's like something is seriously wrong with you. Did Shola Ameobi and Victor Moses have the same value when their own took 10 months to process? Defending incompetence to the core has always been a Nigerian thing

12large1:
Yes, enough is enough. If we’re going to hire foreign coaches because of lack of competence, foreign administrators has to also be employed.. how can someone possibly forget the deadline to send player invitation?? So, they sent ekong name on time while not sending Dennis name?

andrewbaba44:
At least Ebuehi and ajayi Na foreign born

I will be waiting for those monikers that said the coaching crew are against foreign born
