My problem with Aunty Kemi was her NYSC certificate or lack thereof. Actually, I had called for her firing even before the entire certificate scandal.
I don't know whom she gbenshed to get there (probably Tinubu) but I think she was[b] incompetent and totally unqualified for the job. [/b]


O pari

Is Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed the current Minister of Finance that has replaced her any more qualified than her. And if not why her❓

Please be substantive and make the comparison with objectivity please.

That's the final question on the matter from me.

Eartquake1:
If you know how many Aso Rock employees and Fed govt employees from the North that don't have NYSC certificates you'll be marveled

If we go down that road.

What about forgery of educational certificate at all levels.

Changing thier ages officially little Egunje and you have wiped 7 years off your age. Retirement is further away.

This is just normal routine practice.

This lady exposed the fact that there were 80,000 ghost workers on the police. The IGP tried to bury the report and has essentially succeeded.

Could this be one of the reasons for her removal.

Icon79:
I thought we had tried that before - with Sunday Oliseh, right? How did that work out for us??

For me, no more apprentice coaches in national team. You don't start school at the university level.


O pari

Please be substantive.

Because Oliseh and his huge ego failed is not an excuse to taint everyone.

Experience in the context of the NFF means compliance with the status quo.

Now examine the multiple examples l have given of Managers not as experienced and or as qualified as Finidi who were managers of national team in Europe not even Africa.

I disagree with your proposition with objectivity and rational COMPLETELY.

Icon79:
I agree with you on Onnoghen. He was cleared out to make way for Buhari to install his man prior to the presidential election court challenges. Buhari and APC didn't wanna leave anything to chance.

But Kemi Adeosun ought to be fired. She was an airhead who doesn't know anything about the economy.


O pari

That may or may not be true. Although l have my doubts she went university and is professionally qualified and don't think I would tag her an air head.

However, that's not the issue.

But the manner that she was removed from office. That's the issue. There are many air heads in government and in the NA. Infact there have been a few illiterates.

The issue is that NYSC exemption certificate is not an academic qualification. It's an administrative exercise of attestation to say you are not required to complete NYSC. That's all.

She didn't forg the certificate it was found not be valid. Do you know how many driving licences in the past issued by the official licensing office are invalid. In my estimated millions.

It's also blatant hypocrisy and selective double standard. The President to date has not been able to tender his school certificate. Pot calling the kettle black.

Only in Nigeria.

Sorry I digress but back to football.

Icon79:
LOL. BS upon BS!

I heard Suleman (sp), the naija dude who was commentating for BeinSport, said the same crap during the game on Sunday about the players being professional and able to handle the altitude. Only someone who hasn't played game in a high altitude would say that nonsense!


O pari

Thank you

Sometimes I wonder the nonsense that people can say.

Icon79:
What coaching experience does Finidi have? And you want to make him a national team coach, huh

#mugu


O pari

What experience do you need.

What experience did Gareth Southgate have.

What experience dud Rudd Hullit and his good friend FRANK RIJKARD have before becoming the manager of Holland.


Knowledge and innovation are not the first borns of Experience.

Finidi is my first choice.

I don't want him to tint his character, integrity and then INNOVATION, KNOW HOW UNDERSTANDING with the experience of the NFF.

For me appoint him and watch him make Nigeria proud. A man of integrity that is not begging for money or will be influenced by that desire and or sharp under handed practices.

Unlike all the others we know

charlesemeka85:
read what online? so because he worked with ajax,betis and mallorca he should be handed the super eagles job without any pronounced experience in coaching?

aigbogun who flopped with the flying eagles wasnt he trained and tutored in england before he got his badges?

sunday oliseh after getting his batches coached a third tier club in belgium where he did decently well, moved to fortuna sittard in the dutch 2nd tier and almost took them to the top flight before he left. few weeks ago he turned down an offer to coach in the belgian top flight for reasons best known to him. his CV currently is good enough to secure top jobs atleast in the african continent and the middle east if he decides to apply for jobs again.

all i am saying is that finidi should start from some where first. coaching youth sides of ajax and mallorca i doubt will entice anyone to give him a shot in mens football

I watched Gerrard coach Liverpool U18 mow he is in Rangers.

I can assure it will not be long before he is in the EPL. Where was Frank Lampard coaching before he went to Championship Derby County fc
❓

Finidi is able and DEFINITELY CAPABLE.

profmathsland:
I personally find your submission preposterous and desperate.
You say this simply because you don't like him. He has always shut you down when you talk trash (as usual) about our Nigerian players not born in England.
In all my time of viewing this thread, I can comfortably say that the young man called TheSupernerd aka Nerdie is your biggest nightmare on here. He is, so much that you have to cook up lies and nonsense to tag him bad but I guess it is all futile. Haha. Give it up mate, you got nothing on that young man. He schools you all the time. Hahaha.

Go back to comedy school LOL

Hallelujah repetitive sycophantic praise singer.

The Demystification of Komekn Live & in HD

Guy, try take some time off this thread for some days, so you can regain your lost glory on these streets

To seek relevance on a forum that's faceless.

I am on train, it's less stressful than driving particularly long distance. And reading and contributing is my pass time entertainment.

Certainly not my sense of relevance.

Maybe for you.

I am still waiting for the screen shots of all the spurious allegations you have made.

I have shown screenshot of your nefarious posts but you go EVASIVE and HIDE.

darkelf:
Oga, if John Ogu and Mikel Agu can be members of Faculty in the Nigeria campus, so can many on my list. As for Boka and Samba, I just hated their aggressive style of play. I admit I made a mistake for Jean Seri

Please check Samba statistics then watch him play.

There are things stats don't show. They can't show outright dominance. He was the foundation upon which Cardiff Built thier house in the EPL.

andrewbaba44:
You mean this ones are not carpenters ?
Please explain, i am seeing omeruo there etebo and co?

Is Sol Bamba can there then.

I have my doubts if any of our central defenders are better than him.

I would say he is better no sentiment.

chrisooblog:
i'm positively disposed to Finidi being in charge eventually but for now due to his inexperience in managerial football i would make him rohr's right hand man till the german finishes his tenure with the national team

There is nothing that Finidi doesn't know.

He has been coaching youth teams in La Liga and has a wealth of knowledge. If not for blatant racism and discrimination. He would be a La liga Manager.

We need young and knowledgeable managers who are at a distance to the NFF and all its forms of corruption.

Is Frank Lampard, Gerrard, etc better than him.

chrisooblog:
Arthur Boka and Sol Bamba are not that bad i actually rated bamba before his injury.

i also think you are being unfair to Jean Seri. i feel he has worked hard and earned the right to be called professor emeritus of midfield carpentry

Lack of knowledge is seen here.

As usual emotive bias has overtaken objectivity and substance.

People may not know that in the EPL at stage Bamba had better stats than Virgil Van Dyke.

safarigirl:
We are going to need you to post proof by way of screenshots, of Supernerd insulting any player that isn't performing.

Else, we will assume you have allowed your emotive bias and prejudice cloud your reasoning

I will when you have responded to the multiple challenges.

I have given you.

Selectively double standard and hypocrisy.

And you too have denigrated players with disdain and abuse. You are the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.

People who are in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Unless like you they have no integrity or shame.

Koboko99:
Tega is not our striker, he's an English striker. Anytime you hear that boy's name you put on your wig and storm this thread like charge and bail lawyer. Oga calm down before you get bp for Tega matter.

Look at your words and then look at the mirror who is getting all FIRED UP, RANTING, HEATED and ANGRY.

Because it's not me on fire here.

You jumped in but didn't even consider the context and the discussion prior.

You are not wise.

timay:
Like I said before ,they are professionals, they will handle it. When the team does its homework well, it shouldn't be a problem.
The last time I checked, it's not their first time playing in such environment.

I have played in high high altitude and it has nothing to do with professionalism.

It drains you you are breathing but you can't get enough oxygen. You tire very easily.

Why do the Kenyans and Ethiopians win so many local g distance races.

Eartquake1:
Onnoghen was replaced by a dunce of an Islamic scholar, Kemi Adeosun was replaced by someone who can't hold a candle to her in economics

Nigeria is not about morals, it is about power. And these guys are taking advantage while you care about your ethics

Kemi Adeosun was sacrificed totally unjustifiably for reasons unknown. NYSC exemption certificate is not a qualification. It's an administrative assessment.

I once got a Nigerian driving licence issued before me in the licensing office. I later found out it was fake. This is something that happens so often in Nigeria it's almost normal.

The vast majority of judges in Nigeria are corrupt IMO it's a question of degree. If you put a search light on all of them l don't think up to 15% will come away scot free.

Could there be more to this, she exposed the existence of 80, 000 ghost workers in the police. The IGP was not very happy and we know what that can mean.

See below

https://punchng.com/court-orders-igp-to-release-details-of-80115-ghost-police-officers/

andrewbaba44:
I dont think thesupernerd does insult a player when not performing

I find that delusional.

Any player not on his like list he generally denigrates particularly when they are not born in Nigeria.

The exceptions are when they have performed so well he then changes tact to evasion.

charlesemeka85:
Oga go and sit down. Oshimeh is a super number 9 now but when he starts underperforming now u will be the first to curse the hell out of his life.

Super talented players do emerge out of the blues in football so there is nothing special with Amunike discovering oshimeh.

The likes of Kanu, Okocha, mikel, Martins, Oliseh, taribo west and a whole lot were all discovered by someone.


Discovering a player is commendable but it doesn't stop their. Hardwork, dedication and determination is needed for a player to enhance his talent to become the best in the world.

If oshimeh remained with wolfsburg till date or maybe ended up in one of the scandanavian league will you clamor for amunike's hiring as the super eagles coach?

Or other coaches that gave the likes of Kanu, and Jay Jay a chance in our youth teams should be offered the super eagles job on a platter of gold?

The term discovered is very ambiguous.

In my opinion the best players are not discovered they perform so well that they essentially ANNOUNCE THEMSELVES and are recognised.

TheGoodJoe:
After the run with the youth team, he can get the crack with the senior boys. By then, he will be fully familiar with the crop of the team. From the old boys with Nacho, Success, Osimhen, Chukwueze. Keeping in mind he worked with Keshi for a brief stint (if I am correct). Coupled with the young crop he has raised.

Later Finidi gets his chance to work With Amunike and later take over the team.

I would put in Finidi as head coach immediately no question.

He has nothing to learn from anybody in the NFF or Amumeke for that matter.

Is Gareth Southgate better than him or more knowledgeable. Having Finidi who is not begging for money but wanting to create a name would be the best option.

Anybody familiar with the NFF is more likely to concede to unethical practices and dubious alliances.

Finidi is a Fresh face with no excess questionable luggage.

TheGoodJoe:
Story. It does not work that way. There is a lot of bias and preference that goes with the English game.

Is Maguire a better defender than Soyuncu? I doubt but see how Soyuncu was a dishwasher and towel washer last season. Is John Evans better than him? But he did not have a sniff.

What about how Albrighton kept on getting a steady run while Ahmed Musa was playing junior football at Leicester City.

Victor Moses was posting repeated man of the match performances under Conte then with the snap of the fingers he was gone. You think that happens with cutting it?

Is Tominay a better footballer than Fred? But, he will get the nod over Fred any day. What is even helping the English league is the rise of foreign coaches, if not it would have been worse.

There are a lot of English Manager who are very English biased but biased in the sense of racism and preference for a particular type of player that represents the English game.

Sol is none if these.

Starboytwo:
I'm not pitting them against each other, rather it's competition...

They are both center forwards
They are both young
They are both exciting
Both having a good season
Both played each other and scored 1 each,
Both NIGERIANS, osihmen local boy, Tammy foreign born( if you wanna get into the argument)

All I'm trying to say is both are rivals, like messi and Ronaldo, we will talk about them.. All I'm doing is telling my boy if Tammy as scored 11 league goals, I expect him to be around 14, azin I want him to be the best striker....

No be hate, I no hate Tammy, I just like osihmen

You don't like Tega because he is not born in Nigeria by the substance of your comments.

I like all our strikers but that doesn't mean they are competing against each other.

And l am very objective about appraisal based on objectivity not sentiment of l like one more than the other because according to you he is more Nigerian.

That's effectively the substance of your submission. Which is really prejudice.

timay:
It's not true. This teams still get well beaten at their backyard despite their high altitude.

Altitude don't play football for you. If you are shit , you are shit, and they will flog you and your altitude together

High altitude didn't stop us frim nearly flogging SA in their backyard , if not for the incompetence of the Linesman. Same with us flogging Lesotho.

Our players are professionals and they play in even more excruciating conditions overseas week in week out, in places with extreme cold, extreme heat and the likes and they know how to balance it.

It's quite obvious you have no idea what altitude does to your stamina.

If you haven't played at high altitude you can become fatigued within 25 minutes. You have game manage or you will simply run out of gas.

You also have not played at high altitude hence your comments.

darkelf:
Those countries you mentioned have established systems for scouting and developing talents. We only lack such systems. However, we equally have talents in abundance

What you have said is like saying.

"We have brains but no school to go too"

So what's the point of having brain and you can't go to school to exercise and develop it.

That's the sad situation we have, no investment in grass roots football development.

darkelf:
I agree with you that Osimhen is a good finisher and has (or is still developing) all the qualities of a good target man. However, I would lobe for him to remain humble and keep on working hard while shunning distractions. I won't want him going the way if Isaac success, KC Nacho and Nwakali. We have lost too many young stars to indiscipline.

Too much expectation put on him by too many will lead to dissapoint for him and not necessarily indiscipline. IMO

TheGoodJoe:
If he goes to Bayern, he benches steady for Lewandowski. If he goes to Manchester United, they will use bias to bench him.

If he goes to Manchester United why will they be biased against him.

And l am sure you think he is better than Rashford.

If he cuts it he plays if he doesn't NUTTIN for him.

Starboytwo:
when he is not mad.... If he thinks he can act only for himself, he dey decieve himself... . Osihmen is now public property.... He must score for us everytime... He must improve everyday.... He can't afford to slow down, if Tammy score 1, he must score 2.... If halland make a big move, we expect him to also..... He will spear head our golden age.... He must deliver for us....

We must also pray for him, against injury of any kind, on a bad patch we must always support him to get back to his best.... He is our main investment.... Why do you guys think we don't really care about Tammy so much.... Cuz we gat Victor....


I beleive in the boy with chuks and kalu, and aribo, and ndidi and semi and ekong and aina....

A lot of people are not satisfied with the lb position, and Simon place in the team and goalkeeper and a proper 10.... I think if we can tackle this positions and sort everywhere , things go soft for us gan....

I'm glad Im part and parcel of this new team, I was a very young in 94 and 96 and only saw highlights, these ones I'm following bumper to bumper.... He don teh wey we lift afcon abeg....

I think youthful exuberance has taken you into " l don't know what "

Why are you putting players against each other that are not competing against each other.

jieta:
When i saw the mention darkelf gave you i know today is a good day for you to not only take a swipe at our NFF but to remind us of how corrupt we are, i know that in fact most of us here know that. You have also share your personal experience about corruption while you were here in Nigeria.


I'm not disputing anything you put up here but my only concern is that you have never for once share corruption cases happening in the football association of the English teams is it that there are not corrupt? or they don't engage in sharp practice. If you don't mind I will appreciate it if you share one or two cases

Corruption in English football is in my opinion from experience indepth and widespread.

I will give examples in the public domain and any that has been made public. I could be suggestive without being specific.

Liverpool academy director Frank McParland and head of academy coaching Rodolfo Borrell. Were sacked in one day and told to leave by Brendan Rodgers with IMMEDIATE EFFECT about 5 years ago. For corruption and kick backs and over valuation of players.


Frank McParland got a job within days at Brentford as Sporting director, then he left to Burnley and then Glasgow Rangers and then QPR.

Rodolfo Borrell went straight to Manchester city.

In any other career if you have been caught and sacked for corruption you will definitely not get another job in that sector. At least for some years. But within days both confirmed thieves get jobs in football.

That tells you the nature of environment in which football is administered in the UK.

The only football Manager l personally know that has zero tolerance for corruption is Chris Houghton a true man of integrity . l understand that Wenger is like that but l don't know him personally although I've met him.

There are some things you should know that raises serious questions and not just conflict of interest. Sam Allardyce son is an agent so also is Alex Ferguson son, Moyes and Pep have thier brothers as football agent. Then you start to notice that a lot of Managers sign players from the same agency that represents them.

Essentially in my experience the deal is often more important than the players quality. Till tomorrow l have been baffled how Bournemouth paid essentially £20 million for Solanke a player who has shown potential but nothing more. Why I can't really say.

The corruption starts from youtj football particularly at the club's with big money. They then decide who gets the opportunity. If you are better and there is no money to be made on your transfer and not necessarily by the club then the gate keepers will be deny you opportunity.

darkelf:
I don't want to believe that you can't get there without dishonesty. I still want to believe that you can achieve things in Nigeria with true honesty and dedication

As Christians we are told the righteous shall face persecution. We are probably the most religious country in the World. However, nobody wants to face PERSECUTION for righteousness.

Look at Sowore facing persecution for what❓

For a period l worked in Nigeria in the accounts department. All the accounting staff were sacked apart from myself and the Chief accountant. Who in the middle of the night slaughtered a goat in a satanic ritual and then joined a cult.

There are many things l saw and challenged but nobody and l mean nobody was ready to stand with me against it corruption.

Very shortly after l came back to the UK.

There are some things you can achieve in Nigeria. By the grace of God and stand on truth and righteousness.

But our corruption is intrinsic and endemic it touches every sector including the church.

darkelf:
Do you mean that Pinnick has the interest of Naija football at heart?

Cc Icon4s, andrewbaba44, thesupernerd, tbaba1234, komekn, forgiveness, Joebie, Odunayaw, chriskels etc

What do you guys think?

First of all football administration in Nigeria is intrinsically POLITICAL.

It mirrors what happens in our elections when it comes to selection of the NFF President. It's just on a small-scale that's all.

There is money to be made and participanys want that money. THATS THE MOTIVATION and has been for donkey years.

Just like in our society l don't think there has ever been a free and fair elections. What we have is degrees of rigging.

So in the course of trying to get to office you sell your soul to the devil and murder all your convictions of righteousness in the process.

Honest trustworthy people may attempt but they will never succeed. IMO

The reality is that the people of a nation reflect it's leadership. We get what we deserve we are too ready to sell our birthright for a pot of porridge.

Amaju may do a few things right like all our politicians do but different degrees. But will fill.thuer very deep pockets in the process.

And yes l know Amaju well.

forgiveness:
Who takes your opinion seriously, huh?

Using special talents as an excuse tantamounts to substly prejudice and discrimination.

People don get sense pass dat yeye 'special talent' wayo.

Agreed without reservation or question

TheGoodJoe:
Funny Rohr. As if he would ever have given Osimhen a run of games if he did not make big breaks at Charleroi and Lille.

But is that not the principal basis for selection in all national football teams.

Although in Nigeria we have our own standards some time.
