Finidi sef fúckup. You have a fit Striker in Sadiq, yet you played a Winger upfront.

A low quality striker with no outstanding attributes, tall and big for nothing with zero physicality.

I don't blame him

Kog45:
Remain Ejuke,Ebuehi and Nwakali to be seen,hope they will impressed

Nwakali should not be in the conversation.

Emmy450:
Not good news about Sadiq Umar coming from Super Eagles camp as it was reported that he refused to shake Finidi cos he didn't have playing time during both friendlies.

With what he pulled off during AFCON, he should be careful.

He is a good player, but attitude matters.


Pooja

I don't rate him and my opinion remains the same not good quality.

lovewins:
I agree with you for the most part save for "football tactics" part. While I do not downplay the importance of football tactics, that sadly isn't the primary problem of most Nigerian coach.

Success is football is 90% Psyche and 10% skill. Average players with the best mental frame and great motivation will beat very skilled players with very little motivation and messed up psyche. Sir Alex Ferguson wasn't known for his tactics as his players have since confirmed. He was however a great motivator. He knew how to get the best out of his players. This was what the Big Boss of blessed Memory Stephen Keshi was known for. Keshi showed immense respect for his players and they respected him in return. He was reported to have motivated his players to play for him and almost always choose players that fit this mold.

The bunch of Nigerian coaches we have today are well learned but too distracted. They have all the UEFA badges, but will allow sentiments, ego etc to destroy their dressing room.

Having a driving licence doesn't make you a great driver or even safe one.

mostob:
If you're the only one holding on to one side of an argument, then something is wrong with your opinion.

Not necessarily because intelligence is not held with the majority but the minority.

And an argument of ideas,views is not based on democracy of the majority.

In reality an argument that is opinionated is not won by numbers.

When you have an uninformed, ignorant, retrogressive electorate moved by sentiment and prejudice. What type of leaders will they vote for and or allow criminal corruption to foister and impose upon them ❓

Foolishness it is often said rests with the Majority.

Just like our politicians we are obsessed with recycling not improving.

Collins, Awaziem, Omeruo, are not bringing anything new, you want to improve you try something NEW it's very simple.

You have players making waves Tella, Fisayo and you don't play them.

Friendly games should be used to improve not recycle the old ones and rebranding.

Where are the new midfielders we need ❓

frankson1:
Soldiers where murdered and you people want the military you all call "cowards" to look away.

It's clownish to think that only the South East love and are loyal to other regions but get hated in return

Irrespective of the uniform 🥋 if a person acts unlawfully in killing defenceless citizens and the citizens defend themselves, what do you call the perpetrators❓

Can they said to have been murdered.

Chukwuka319:
The killers have gotten the boldness to challenge the military and even brag publicly online about their murderous acts.
The cowards should come out and face the military openly.

Why don't the military go inside the creeks with their superior training equipment and arms.

After all these are just a bunch of misguided militants youth with no direction.

Why did the government offer billions in the amnesty programme in the Niger delta❓ decide to make militants leaders defacto governors and billionaires.

The militants are FACING you in broad daylight not in the creeks ask Tompolo, Ateke Tom, Asari, etc , etc .

helinues:
Is that the justification for killing our army? Why are some of you guys just make comments for commenting sake? Huh

I didn't know what you mean by our army 🪖

One question ❓ can the army be relied upon to tell the TRUTH ❓

How many innocent 😇 people were killed by OUR ARMY as they went out on a peace mission. A peace mission with 4 senior officers, but no civil society groups, no DSS, No Police, No religious leaders,etc.

Don't you find that strange 😲 or at least questionable, ❓

The army 🪖 left Okuamo after supposedly carrying out a peace ✌🏿 mission. What exactly did their version of peace mission entail ❓🤔

Did they leave the village in Joy and happiness 😊 because that's what peace does.

So why after exacting peace did a group of highly aggrieved militants go AHEAD to wait for them in the swampy water 💦 filled creeks.

There were at least 40/50 fully armed soldiers ( I was going to say well trained) but that's an assumption without substance.

My question ⁉️ is what could make highly aggrieved youthful militants with complete reckless abandon, no fear 😲 no concerns for their own well being put their lives at major risk (near suicide mission) and Decide to exact murderous bloody revenge on , "our army 🪖"

My opinion is we don't know the TRUTH.

Does the Nigerian army have a historic present and continues reputation for wanton killings and destruction of civilians and rural communities❓.

Would you call the Nigerian Army highly disciplined, beyond question where honour and integrity are concerned 🤔❓ Does the Nigerian army have respect for the rule of law ❓Does it have any regards for due process probity and truth.❓❓❓😧

Recap Nigerian army invaded the university of f Benin in the early Hours beating up anyone in sight including security personnel. Over a minor ATM incident they refused to que up.

The NA denied initially ever being anywhere near the Lekki toll gate. Even in one of the busiest me metropolis in the world with tens of thousands of people. Live TV cameras 🎥🎥and a duplicity of thousands of citizens with camera 🤳🏿 phones. A Major General on national TV denied 😯 that the army 🪖 was there.

Several days later the began to SHAMELESSLY change their narrative. Oh they attended but had only blanks bullets, they did not shoot at youths sitting and singing on the road, then only a few people were shot no deaths.

A judicial panel of high standing has proven there was a massacre but not one person from "our army 🪖" has indicted and taken to court.

And you want any sane person to believe the narrative of the our army 🪖 in a remote village mainly accessible by water 🌊.

What actually did the Nigerian Army 🪖 go and do there,❓ that caused this bloody murderous response. Whatever those soldiers did in Okuamo was definitely not 🚫 HONOURABLE

viccy12:
Can I ask you a question. Why are you so obsessed with foreign people ? Like white coaches , foreign born players etc ? These foreign players you are always clamoring for are they better than Nigerian players?

Shouldn't we be pressing the NFF to develop our league? Why is it that you always look for a stop gap solution instead of solving the whole problem?

Don't you think investing and developing our local league will put rest to all these problems with our national teams. Don't you have the ability to think for a second ? You are always here dragging our indigenous talents including coaches and players calling them corrupt as if you will do better if you find yourself in that position. For instance, you are barely 40yrs with a pot belly that look like you are pregnant! Who tha f..uck do you think you are. You are simply a white worshipped obese pu..nk

Did your girlfriend leave for him even with the alleged pot belly, why are you so aggrieved.

You sound like a woman scorned.

But whats worse you are talking complete balderdash and Codswallop.

ChrisKels:
What he needs now is a stable ground to develop his talent not being thrown from one ground to another in the name of loan. That was what nearly destroyed Awoniyi’s talent. When Awoniyi was parading himself as a Liverpool player moving from one loan to another, I wrote to him directly under Oma Akatigba tweet that he needed to leave Liverpool to be counted and Awoniyi himself gave that a thumbs up, next window he severed ties with Liverpool and the rest is history. Omeruo ruined his talent joining Chelsea, same as the Nwakali brothers. You don’t go to England as an untested player. Once you are bought with intention to loan you out, forget it.

Eeee be like say you chop Edi Kang Ko with goat 🐐 meat and smoked cat fish 🐠 with designer pounded Yam.

You talk sense today .

charlesemeka85:
I don’t really knw why many re tagging the boy’s potential move to chelsea as bad

If he gets the move and performs on loan in Ligue one definitely he may stand a chance been recalled by chelsea or at worst sold to another top 5 league side in europe where he will continue with his career

Lukaku was outstanding in several EPL clubd but never got a chance in Chelsea.

If I am right he is U18 and he has a huge amount to learn about top level football ⚽. That you will not learn from local football academy in Nigeria.

charlesemeka85:
this is good

Personally I would not say so.

First of all Chelsea arguably have the best academy in England. And have a conveyor belt of top potential top level players.

Secondly, Chelsea are notorious for signing potential talent from abroad and then loaning them out with no intent to play in the first team.

Good example Omeruo, was never good enough for Chelsea and in occasion had the then captain of Nigeria training with the U18 team.

I would have preferred him to go to a team in Belgium, educate develop and then hopefully progress into first team football.

Big clubs have cut short many a promising players trajectory.

Strasbourg is speculation not guaranteed first team football ⚽. I am assuming he is U18.

Meliforme:
Ebuehi interprets the fullback role better.
His execution of long passing and crossing of the ball is better than those of the two you mentioned.

I see Aina and Osayi as wingers who can also do well as fullbacks.

Contrary to what most of you think, Aina is not a better fullback compared to Zaidu.

Once I read your last paragraph, l remember what we often say in Warri.

Who dey follow craze🤪 man fight imself deh craze 🤪🤪🤪

Meliforme:
Under Finidi, Tyronne Ebuehi might fare better than all our fullbacks because he is the most tidy in passes of the ball.

He is not better than Aina and he will also have to contend with Osayi.

charlesemeka85:
you claim to be a scout Abi agent and you do not know about Viareggio annual tournament in 🇮🇹?

Nawaooo 😏🥱

I challenge you to quote me verbatim where I CLAIMED Scout and or agent here.

In all honesty I've never heard of that tournament, l dont even know where it is.

All youth tournament I've attended are overwhelmingly with the top clubs of Europe.

It's not irrational, in top academies you have boys who started training at age 5/6 with top facilities and quality coaches. These boys by 13 are training and playing games 5 days a week. That is intensive training against the best players in your region locality.

It's very difficult albeit not impossible for players to meet that standard individually and collectively outside of the top level academy setting.

charlesemeka85:
yes and mostly because he has no hope of playing for England as a Luton player

If say na top epl club em dey play now banging goals every week u think say him to reason us?🥱🥱

The strikers ahead of him are too many.

Kane is not retiring anytime soon 🔜 and he has too many top level forward players to contend with like, Rashford, Ivan , Watkins, Solanke etc to contend by with.

Kog45:
Viareggio cup tournament is popular and young players used it as a stepping stones with agents in attendance looking for promising players,Ebenezer Akinsanmiro of Inter Milan was discovered in the tournament.Last year my brother took some boys to the tournament through Mavlon fc…..yes Ojodu fc was defeated by eventual winner Beyond Academy in the semi final.

That sounds very promising.

Is the tournament in Italy or is it in one of the Nordic countries ?

Most of youth in fact all the youth tournaments I've attended have been with first tier l league clubs in Europe.

I once met Marcelo at one when he came to watch his son playing with Real Madrid.

For a lot clubs and scouts it's at these tournaments the next generation of top players will be revealed. In addition when Manchester city is okay against say PSG it's indicative of top level performances.

The PSG boys in defence were like giants I suspect they are from the Wolof tribes in Senegal and Mali. I guess with better nutrition, health care and coaching and training facilities they grow like bamboo 🎍 stick.

Kilometres:
You too mumu

And you are so daft.

Stylishly trying to justify wrong.

Even if the soldiers have done something wrong to them. Does that give them power and right for such gruesome killing of the soldiers?


Use your brain.

First, if the military had struck first as you alleged, it is a community with leaders, they would have raised and it would have been reported in the social media cos govt can not control social media.

It is most likely because of bunkering which most of these traditional rulers give backing to.

Your must be secondary school youth .

You are a small boy with little understanding.

Bunkering has always gone on with the direct participation of the military many senior officers have become billionaires through it.

Tompolo is master bunkerer all things go through him. This warlord militant has soldiers under his command effectively and they are the core Jagaban in the area.

No community youth will attack the army without the most murderous provocation. The NA has a proven and substantiated present and historical record of wanton destruction and killing of innocent civilians.

They think they are above the law , this had been going on for decades until the people armed themselves, and militancy was born it's only in hibernation. That brought mutual respect and restraint the NA have forgotten it seems.

This case is more of the NA doing the bidding of Tompolo in a local community dispute. And wiping out community leaders thinking that will stop the people and the dispute.

Let me quote my previous post.

In matters like this you should have police and DSS independent of the army investigating. The NA is not trained to investigate crime and they have too many conflicts of interest in this matter and can never be impartial. They would most likely bury and destroy any evidence of NA culpability.

Who has ever heard of a high powered peace ✌🏿 mission ( Leftenant Col. Two majors) no police, no DSS, no civil groups, no external traditional rulers, no religious leaders, JUST THE ARMY 🪖 somebody is telling LIES and trying to bury the TRUTH

Shadomaan7:
We stand with the Nigerian Army in their mission to bring justice to the fallen soldiers and restore peace and security in the Niger Delta region.

Was there war in the Delta before ❓so what peace are they restoring. It's seems the NA has taken and destroyed peace.

charlesemeka85:
Lille FC of france 🇫🇷 are interested in Beyond limit’s Ibrahim Ayodele. They saw him during the Via Regio Youth tournament in Italy

Never really heard of this tournament.

Checking ✔️ the teams that played and there seems to be a Nigerian team called Ojudu City .

This is a U18 tournament it seems with local grass roots academy teams from across the world. It seems to be a very prominent tournament for unsigned players.

I've been to several youth tournaments with big clubs but spaces for grass roots teams or non professional teams.

charlesemeka85:
SCORENigeria has gathered from several top officials that the NFF are now open to hire a coach who they will pay $80,000 every month.

Jose Peseiro was on $50,000 monthly when his contract ran out after the recent AFCON.

It was a reduced package after his initial contract paid him $70,000 a month.


It is widely believed that the Portuguese coach did not continue on the post because he demanded for a new monthly pay of $120,000 with his employers’ best offer stopping at $80,000.


It is that figure the NFF will be ready to pay the next coach of the country’s team.


SCORENigeria first reported that as many as 40 foreign coaches have applied for the Super Eagles job.

It is understood that the NFF will decide on a new Super Eagles coach by the end of this month.

This will allow the new man enough time to prepare for crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin in June.

I wonder 🤔 how much % cut will be paid to the powers that be ❓

charlesemeka85:
Epl clubs Fulham and Crystal Palace among clubs monitoring Gabriel Osho for a possible summer transfer

A number of players have been outstanding for Luton and had a resurgence in their careers.

Parly because the expectations on " poor" Luton where very low. They did not not 🚫 spend any money by Premier League standards. And did not have any big stars. But they have been outstanding this season against all odds.

And on a good day can beat anybody.

Ross Barkley the forgotten prodigy of Everton and Chelsea has been exceptional. Osho has surprised many and is the rock 🪨 in that defence. Adebayo would have been further up the scoring charts if not 🚫 for unfortunate injury. Hopefully he will get back 🔜.

LocalFARMERS:
Oga all the Soldier say his mind

His mind is wrong and irrational that makes him a dangerous liability to the state.

BreconHills:
He is not a coward. They will wipe out that community so much so it won't show on Google maps. The moment you kill soldiers you are no longer a civilian you are an enemy combatant and your village is a terrorist camp.

The point he is making is that the army does not see tribes, they only see themselves and though he is from delta he will gladly avenge his colleagues even if they are from Maiduguri or Katsina.

By the way, the army is not there to protect you. They are not policemen. They are not under the criminal code or Nigerian law. They have their own laws. They are there to nullify any enemy of Nigeria. They are not your friend and they don't want to be. Don't get it twisted.

When soldiers were complaining about government neglect years back, people like you were supporting them. Now that they are defending their own as they should, you are throwing a hissy fit.

You are an illiterate.

Nigeria is a Federal Republic not a military dictatorship.

There is " RULE OF LAW " Absolutely nobody is above the law. You need to go back to school 🏫 or ask for a refund of your school fees.

Military codes of practice are not laws 🚫 superior and or above the law.

Eneyeme6453:
Late General Sami Abacha once said any crisis that lasts in a country beyond 24hrs, has the hand of its leaders fueling it. Direct this question to the leaders in the northern

You are quoting a murderous deranged power Hungry tyrant.

Do you think 🤔 you are wise.

Sheerbliss:
Let us remove sentiments from this issue and treat issues the way they are. Any small thing we de compare Nigeria to US, I see no reason for the comparison because Nigeria and Us are not mate at all. we are suppose to be comparing Nigeria with Sudan, Niger, Congo Cameron. Can a Community in US kill 16 US soldiers and nothing will happen?.

Let us be reasonable please!. stop comparing US and Nigeria please!
Those Soldiers have family too, the painful part is the way they were killed. They came for peace and you took advantage of them.
what ever that gave them the mind without thinking of the consequence don run leave now. Now their eye no clear?

Incidentally I've associate experience of the British and US army and marines.

None of these highly disciplined soldiers will ever attempt to raise hands ✋🏿 on civilians. They will not even argue with police.

You failed to be objective, why would aggrieved local youths decide to exact revenge on Nigerian army soldiers.

They were on there way back from Okuamo , after doing WHAT ❓These soldiers that died are 80% of Northern extraction.

Nobody will kill and or attack a huge group of soldiers that came for PEACE 🕊️. People are not mad and insane.

Open your eyes 👀 it seems you are blind and cannot seem

LocalFARMERS:
This Soldier is from Warri. He send a message to his Niger Delta Brothers about the killings in Okuoma.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ8f8Xa6Ihk

Illiterate uncouth bushman.

Nobody will act senselessly, he didn't even establish what led to those events. Nobody in Nigeria without any reason will wake up in the morning and start killing soldiers. Nobody is plain insane and mad.

The question ❓ is what happened.

First proviso, is we CANNOT in any shape or form considere the explanation of the NA as true record of events.

Now look at psychology of the average Nigerian soldier. He thinks 🤔 he is above the law and nobody can challenge him irrespective of if he is right or wrong or operating unlawfully.

Is it normal without any form of provocation for Nigerian army soldiers to open fire and kill defenceless citizens ❓. My response if not normal then highly probable. History 😭 painfully tells us this to be TRUE.

Nigerian army 🪖 soldiers like deranged animals can visit murderous wanton destruction and killing without provocation. They act like demigods , unfortunately the citizens consider it to be normal and acceptable.

So then what happened ❓ what do we know .

They attended a peace meeting in that community town hall. They were given the utmost respect and welcomed with kola and drinks by the elders.

Then what happened 😕, what did they do🤔

Now tracking the movement of this large group of soldiers who in their numbers armed heavily, would feel impregnable. In addition any actions taken unquestionable ,might is right 👍🏿.

Why would a group of assumed youthful local militants in hot pursuit of this large contingent of soldiers . Feel so painfully heart wrenchingly aggrieved to seek murderous bloody revenge

This act would be close to a suicide mission they put their own lives on the line to exact revenge for what ❓❓❓.

The NA has too many questions to answer but it's all going to be white washed and a nonsensical narrative totally unsubstantiated presented to us . Because just like our politicians the NA think they are above the law and the citizen are fools to be trodden upon.

Finally, ode Mae Oghene Kome, I be undiluted Uhrobo man.

Like several other Nigerian origin players in the youth academy it's not news.

He has been training with the first team in recent as others are in international duty .

Two weeks ago Arsenal U15 won the Premier League international tournament in Sunderland.

How many Nigerian origin players too many to count, how many will make the transition to first team football that's the big question ❓.
