tight budget guy tight budget you sef reason am naw
Even the CAS has complained about this
Also unnecessary spending by our Government
Also if I may ask 50 Wingloog to do what

First of all we start of from Best value and greatest impact.

You need 24/7/365 situational awareness. ISTAR across the entire North. We have bandits, Jihadists and herdsmen running wild and holding whole areas to ransom.

Some argue that all these groups have links and are operating in some form of unison.

The cost of two overpriced A29 turboprop will get you near 75 Wing Loong II UAV's.

It means that precision strikes can be carried out but near 40 hours endurance means no hiding place for Boko and it's associats.

Finally, it's more cost effective and operationally greater impact.

JohnEagle96:
The UAV must be able to travel long distance , even if possible as far as MALI to gather strategic intelligence on movement of people across the Sub Sahara and for long endurance border surveillance, we do not need short time UAV

My suspicion and the best value option is the Wing Loong II UAV. 1500 km radius.

They don't need 10 they should get at least 50, our procurement is done I dribs and drabs to the point it becomes negligible.

Countries on our level procurement is done in multiples of 100's not 10's. How many Chinese MBT did we buy and what effect will that have come considering the vast area and multiple points of contention now across the entire North.

Bayern have successfully turned Davies to a beautiful fullback

That Dude is on another level, he left Barca for dead yesterday.

Dude is SENSATIONAL.

TheLoneCitizen:
Fanatik reports that Trabzonspor have rejected a proposal to sign Chidozie Awaziem. Awaziem's manager offered the player to Trabzonspor but they declined mainly due to the player's wage demands.

Awaziem is reportedly not in the plans of Porto.

He never has been he is just another transaction and asset to be marketed.

He has played in La Liga and was outstanding according to some here. I remember also it was said Sevilla want him too.

When a player is outstanding he will not be going to Turkey to find work.

Oh my goodness of goodness it's 8-2.

This is unbelievable l cannot believe what my eyes are seeing.

I think the Manager and a few players have lost their jobs.

It's official Bayern are flogging and Whipping Barcelona like small children.

It's 7-2 and it's SHOCKINGLY DISGRACEFUL.

Barcelona are getting flogged by Bayern and the main weapon of war added to their technical ability is BLISTERING PACE.

Barcelona are slow just like there league.

Have no weapon to mitigate against the pace of Bayern in addition Barcelona are not working hard.

Philosopher1979:
I dont mean to be rude but men we dont need Akpom in our team. He is just average and the position he is in is filled.
However, we need ejaria, our central midfield needs some creativity and dynamism.
Akpom on the other hand is just there. He is comming at the wrong time. I don't want to waste time by naming players ahead of him.

Chuba Akpom is not good enough.

ChrisKels:
Ighalo has set a very bad precedent as regards Nigerian players being considered by Man United in the future, his record is not encouraging, now he is looking for an easy way out. It is a shame he couldn't register a single EPL goal or assist in as many matches throughout his stay in Man United.

Bad belle

maidaboi:
lookman own is dropping

I agree but one good game in the final and it goes right up, football is very fickle.

Look at Jao Felix €120 million is he still worth that money now. I doubt it.

andrewbaba44:
Upamecano is worth more than that

I agree considering how young he is, what will Arsenal pay for him because they desperately need a CB.

£65 million.

The CB for Leipzig his value is going up every minute of this game.

Dayat looks very impressive, wonder how much his value has gone up after this game.

Now worth at least £45 million.

andrewbaba44:
Their ugly football won Liverpool who are English champions

They did that night although the Liverpool goalkeeper mess up too.

Win na win ugly or beautiful.

DrKlever:
La liga indeed. See how Leipzig is tearing Atletico apart. If you're not watching this match, you're missing

See how the CB of Leipzig is using physicality to dominate the dominator Costa, he is bullying him.

feelme2020:
You are not exactly right. The GBS academy in Jos has produced Samuel Kalu, Moses Simon, Hillary Gong, Ahmed Musa and some other decent players.
Akinkunmi amoo is also from a football academy. In fact, a lot of our decent players are from Football academies and so you cannot claim they are horrible as they are producing good players

Secondly, Terem Mofi and Blessing Eleke moved from obscure leagues to Belgium and so starting in a low league at a young age is good. Lukman Zakari moved from Latvia to Spain.
You are an extremist young man. If you look at things properly, grassroots football is really growing in Nigeria.
I rest my case

Do not understand what you mean by the bold extremist.

Ahmed, Kalu and Simon are household names Nigeria and good players.

Lukman Zakari tell me more please, what was the transfer fee, how many games has he played for Real Betis. Because you have used him as an example of success and progression.

The other players you mention seem largely anonymous even the 24 year old Blessing Eleke playing in the Swiss league.

Why do some of you just imagine things from your own negative prejudices then attribute them to someone. Can you tell me where I have said. "You cannot claim they are horrible"


Don't you have some level basic integrity and or honour to speak truthfully ❓

JayromWrites:
Third best team in Spain

Run away league winners of the premier league couldn't beat them in both legs

ATM were very lucky that day they did not beat Liverpool they just won the match.

Danielnino00:
You overrate English football...

Winning games and playing pleasing to the eyes technical proficient football is not the same thing.

You over rate football types and styles

Watching the quintessential Park the bus ATM c defenders against the non stop attackers of RB Leipzig.

Who will win defence vs Attack ❓

elunico:
It's great what you are doing, before someone come and start yapping Automatic Birth Capture up and down.

Are there ages verified by a state run body, no they are not.

So you rely entirely on the integrity of the player in context of Nigeria that's simply not feasible.

So because you look 15/16 you are 16 look at Ashley Young he is how old❓ If he was Nigerian he could conveniently claim 25 nobody would argue. Look at Ademola he still looks 16 he is Nigerian he must therefore be 16.

Ndidi failed a MRI scan in 2013 but he is still 23.

The fact remains that age cannot be verified or proven in Nigeria, by any official independent mechanism.

But you all get hypocritical when this is mentioned.

Philosopher1979:
Football academies are solving the agent problem to some extent. Akinkunmi amoos agent made sure he went to a club where he will be developed.
We have some boys in latvia that will soon explode. Red bull salzburg also helps Africans. But i think more should still be done

Latvia league is a very poor standard league to use as a launch pad to EXPLODE as you put it.

Any player looking to move will have to be outstanding in the league and the very best in that league to get a move to top 6 league.

Football academies in Nigeria are just as bad as the agents they even practice TPI. And once you are signed to them you literally signed away your life they own you.

JayromWrites:
Can we compare the budget of Westham to Sevilla as well?

Or Aston Villa's spending of the last season to Villarreal?


But we all know which teams are better

The amount a club spend is not a direct reflection of it's quality sir


And Huesca can beat alot of championship clubs abeg

Is it Cardiff with their hit and insha allah abi wetin?

In football €€€€ £££££ makes a huge difference in the type and quality of players you can recruit.

Cardiff with their physicality, kick and rush, do or die football will completely DESTROY Huesca any day any place. It's not a debate.

Huesca will not beat Sunderland forget about Championship clubs.

Philosopher1979:
This is why leagues like belgium sweden, latvia are good for african youngsters. They can then move to better leagues from there. These small leagues are patient with them and give them the time to learn from their mistakes develop and acclamatize

I don't know if they are better or the failure of the British to give some form of access for former British African colonies to professional football.

I am not sure the details of the legislation but somehow players can be playing in the local leagues of Mali, Senegal, Cote De Voire, and have direct access to French league one.

By the time our so called young players in our leagues have navigated their way through the minefield of deception and manipulation. That agents and other so called interested parties have created for them. Then get to Europe then pass football trials, they are stretching the definition of young player.

Many have failed and not made it. If you go to Antwerp you will see many there almost destitute and broken. It is very sad.

You only hear of the few that made it not the the many hundreds that did not.

As it stands the easiest way for Nigerian young player to leap frog into the elite leagues of Europe. Is through the age grade national youth team particularly the U17.

And that too is not easy there have been many stories told here of what goes on in a lot of situations.

Neobulletzz:
Lol Komekn, you were a professional footballer before? I no know ooo

Which club you play for?

No I was not.

I played as a youth for my county team in England and had some other stints in football. But professional a big NO NO.

But an involvement with football in the UK a big YES yes.

chrisooblog:
in 2015 Osimhen was awarded the golden boot for his exploits at the U17 world cup that is also an outstanding accolade for a young player. so really there wasn't much of a difference between the 2 both excelled at youth football. if Solanke had been tearing it up club wise then I would have agreed with your assertion.

it's not about dominic going to france he could still have done well in the EPL. At Liverpool he was given a fair run. Bournemouth should have been the platform to get his career going. small club, less pressure, good attacking style but he still struggled. look at Nathan Ake for instance could not quite nail down a spot at Chelsea, joined the cherries did well now he's back to big time football with man city.

yes only time will tell if he can replicate that form in Seria A but i'm optimistic he will be able to do so because he has shown a good grown trajectory these 2 past seasons from Belgium to France now Italy let's just see how he does.

Agreed without reservation.

I am anonymous here so l can say that Dominic was not Impressive in training l watched him several times. He was marketed beyond his ability and Bournemouth took the bait and swallowed it.

Even his coaches did not rate him that much.

Maybe he had it too easy, these boys at age 16 some are already on £6/7k a week. They loose the hunger and drive. And everything is on a plate.

Koboko99:
He arrived Wolfsburg in January, 2017 with an injury. From that time till May, 2018 he had four surgeries. ( Three on his kneel and one on his shoulder). Take notes he had a torn meniscus surgery which takes 3-6 months to fully recover from.

Was he supposed to play from the hospital bed?

Or you want to completely ignored the fact that it will take a while to get back to full fitness after each of those surgeries.

We all know most players feature for their reserve team when recovering from injury. So he wasn't shipped to the reserves like you claimed

He had serious injury and adaptation issue till he left in August, 2018. Not because he was poor as a footballer. He even failed trials at Zulte Waregem and Club Brugge because he had malaria.

How many kids leave Africa at 17 to Europe and walk straight into the first team of a top 5 league team?

Hear what Victor Osimhen said about his spell in Wolfsburg

"The weather, the language, the food [affected me]. It was my first time in Europe, I was just 18-years-old, and I didn’t have enough time to acclimatize. They didn’t believe in me very much,” he told Sport1.

Everything you say is true, if l am honest it's close to a miracle to recover from that knee Injury and then still have the same speed. He is indeed blessed.

I had a ACL surgery rebuild after a very similar football injury myself. That was ten years ago and ayew months. And it was a huge struggle. I don't play any competitive football anymore.

The only difference we have is you consider the injuries, l consider the end result. Not the circumstances that led to the situation.

ChrisKels:
I would take a distinguished moi moi team player from Laliga over any Rangers player playing in Europe and earning good money. As bad as Leganes who eventually got relegated last season, was, majority of Rangers players would not make their(Leganes) bench. You can place their players side by side to compare. The Scottish league is at same level(if not lower) as the Spanish third division.

If l engage you in this nonsensical proposition it may seem their is substance to what you present.

The most expensive player in Leganes team that they bought was Omeruo for €5 million. That in itself tells you a story.

With the money they have spent they will struggle to compete in English League one.

Segunda is not on the same level of the Championship. Tell me one team Huesca will beat in the Championship.

I will implore you to look at the entire budget of the Segunda División and look at just the budget of Fulham FC. That should tell anybody with any half level of understanding the level of the Segunda.

kellycute:
oya go and remove nwakali from the team. Empty vessel!!!

Emptiness is means without substance once again you approach a discourse based on rational, with a clear methodology and facts with prejudice laden negative nonsensical ramblings.

And you call yourself educated, l went to the best university in the world uniben.

By their fruits we shall know them.

chrisooblog:
now you are hitting my point! Dominic after his exploits at U20 level didn't improve on that potential so on what basis could we have judged how good he was in senior club football and compare if he's better than anyone? it will be like me saying hudson-odoi is better than so and so player when he hasn't yet shown any reasonable form at club level to judge him by.

guys like TAA, Saka, Foden were also involved in youth level football for england but their outstanding performances in their various teams have clearly stood them out.

In 2017 Dominic Solanke at the U20 World cup
was awarded the Golden Ball as the player of the tournament.

That's an outstanding accolade for a young player to get particularly at U20 level. An age where most players have already begun to play first team football and show not just promise bit true ability.

Solanke had shown promise and in that regard was way ahead of Victor Osimhen AT THAT TIME. And the deduction was correct.

Fast forward to the HEAR and NOW and Victor is far ahead. I do not know if Dominic Solanke had gone to French league one if the narrative and his story will be totally different. We simply do not know and or if Victor had come to the EPL and his story would be different in the negative.

But as it stands in the current present continous he is far ahead if him.

Can Victor replicate his excellent season in the French league in a much higher quality league in Seria A. Only time will tell.

jihday:
Bookmarked. Osimhen knows how to feed you that pie and I'm sure he'll do just that this coming season

Nothing you have said is remotely related to what my contribution, so what exactly is your point.

andrewbaba44:
If you do well in a moi moi team you will move nah,komekn no describe am well sha

If nwakali can do well then he can even move to better teams ,it’s all good he will be playing in laliga ,let see if he will get minutes sha

Kubo na madrid player going on loan for 2 seasons now

Dat Ghanaian Salisu was impressive sha

Nwakali is reaping where he did not sow he got a free ride to La Liga without making any real contribution.

When we talk of players getting promoted we talk of player's who were pivotal to that promotion and the success hinged on theit contribution.

For instance Tega Onomah in Fulham and Fred Onyedinma in Wycombe Wanderers.

Not an anonymous player who had done nothing but continously over hyped based on wind and fresh air.

ChrisKels:
Your sense of insecurity is prominent. He has not even kicked a ball, yet, you already developing a cold feet? Dude Salisu just joined Southampton from such so called moimoi team. Need I tell you about Take Kubo? Once he pulls the numbers whether moi moi team of kulikuli team, Aribo is in a big trouble because Rangers is not better than Huesca and Rangers can't survive in the Laliga.

Rangers as a club is FAR FAR BETTER than moi moi Huesca on all fronts, financial, quality of players, managers, etc dem no be mate

Rangers will be playing in Europe and competing with the best. What will Huesca be doing preparing for relegation.

Rangers will flog Huesca not just beat them, this is the Rangers that Villareal could not beat over two legs. Meanwhile Villareal and Huesca are not on the same level in any way.

On the league tables of clubs in Europe Huesca is not even mentioned.

Once again you are talking absolute Balderdash.

viciati:
We all would be here when oshimien tears up the Seria A in the coming season. Then i would have a lot to say to some wankers here. For now, i watch.

I do not see him tearing up Seria A.

If he can score 13 goals he would have done exceptionally well in my opinion. However, the club expectations considering his transfer fee means anything less than 20+ will be considered failure.

Getting a huge transfer fee is one thing living up to it is another.

What is your measurement for " tearing up Seria A" are you expecting him to be the top goal scorer or if that's too much among the top 5, how many goals do you expect him to score in the league. ❓

So that we can have a measurement to hold you to when he tears up the league. Please state your expectations.
