Two players I want Vincent Kompany to sign... Just wishing.

Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City) and Romeo Lavia (Southampton).

Na wah for you , how you deh think be sef.

So you want Kompany to be relegated back to Championsip immediate. You want an impotent man to lead the attack.

You wicked oh

TheSuperNerd:
No it's not, LIAR KOM.

Your issue was with me truthfully calling Fred Onyedinma a benchwarmer.

Below is your post that started all these...




Komekn having PTSD just because I honestly called his under average lad a benchwarmer. 🤣🤣

In my honest opinion Fred Onyedinma right now is far off premier league top quality Midfielder.

He had had an injury plagued season being unavailable for 26 game's due to injury. The number of games in a season is 46. That not withstanding he played 18 games. That's not a benchwarmer that's a crucial player that anytime he comes available , is on the bench and be or plays.


Yes I think that Fed Onyedinma is below average.

But Nwakali who has been in Europe 8 years, is world 🌎 class and the most technically gifted Midfielder in Nigeria.

He will have several clubs begging him to leave the Segunda division and go to La Liga and Seria A.

Danielnino00:
Nobody:


Komekn: I haven't talked about Fred Oyedinma for a hundred years now .

Then he proceeds to give an update on Onyedinma 🥱🥱

I haven't talked about Fred Onyedinma as a SE prospect for over 4/5 years. That's the pertinent issue.

Luton town has four Nigerian origin players in their first team squad, that's the key issue, that's what makes Luton Town interesting.

Toylove:
Uhmmm
Fred onyedinma, Mr komekns' midfield maestro 😁😁

Can you tell when I said that and when please ❓

TheSuperNerd:
Kelechi Nwakali - 35 games played. 29 starts. Came off the bench 6 times. Benched without sub-in ONCE.

Fred Onyedinma - 20 games played. 6 starts. Came off the bench 14 times. Benched without sub-in SIX TIMES.


At least now we both know that the lie you cooked in the post above actually was truth when the right candidate that suits the narrative was found. Fred is that guy. 🤝🏻😂😂

Your brazen hypocrisy and double standard is beyond measure.

Fred Onyedinma's Luton Town is on the verge of making it into the EPL they are miles ahead of a Segundo division Ponferradina FC that has remained in the relegation zone from the beginning of the season.

Ponferradina FC is about to be relegated barring a miracle to another level of mediocrity and obscurity. And you are making a comparison. The reality is Nwakali wil not even smell the bench of Luton Town FC.

I have not mentioned Fred Onyedinma as an SE prospect for over four years . Because I don't think he is good enough and l said that 4 years plus ago.

However, you have continuously been singing and screaming about Nwakali non stop for donkey years. 8 years of non stop mediocrity that you have been trying to present as oustanding achievement. That's delusional hype.

When a player is coming from long term injury it's very normal to be benched without being subbed in. So what's your point.

I'm not sure what you are getting so worked up about, you used the terminology LIES.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah. 3 Anglo-Nigerians actually. Elijah Adebayo and Gabriel Osho are regulars while Fred Onyedinma is a benchwarmer.

Fred Onyedinma is not a benchwarmer , although I haven't talked about Fred Onyedinma for some three years plus or more.

Your prejudice has made you become befuddled and duplicitous with your denigration of Fred Onyedinma who is way better than Midfield maestro Nwakali. Who will soon be relegated to another level of oblivion.

Fred Onyedinma had been injured for long periods this season and had only just started coming back . But he is a game changer and crucial player for Luton.

Gabriel Osho has played 28 games and Fred Onyedinma 18 , but only been benched 5 times this season and was unavailable to play for 27 games due to injury. That's not a benchwarmer.

Why can’t you believe what you’re seeing it’s obvious from the onset that city would win na

Haba

It was never obvious first leg City struggled.

But to beat Real 4-0 that's astounding.

However, l don't think it's as shocking 😳😳as when Liverpool after getting FLOGGED 3-0 at Barcelona everyone thought it was over. But Liverpool came back against all odds and RE-FLOGGED the flogger and won 4️⃣j➡️0️⃣ absolutely amazing at Anfield.

That was May 2020 it I'm right .

I really can't believe what I'm seeing

Real is getting FLOGGED like small children by City 4-0

Mahrez coming on

Manchester city have so much quality on the bench.

Can't believe what I'm seeing.

Real are getting schooled by Man city they are becoming clueless, don't know what to do.

If not for the Real goal 🥅 keeper it would be all OVER.

Camavinga yellow card Grealish out skilled him


Oh my goodness GOAL 🥅 GOAL 🥅

3-0

It seems some of us never know NFF…men in glass house are worse than our politicians.

Are they not politicians in the first place.

Amaju was a local politicians until Uduagha sponsored him for NFF presidency, it was also convenient that the meeting was held in Warri .

So it was easy to give all the delegates what they wanted.

The rest is history, Amaju head 🗣️ don swell, 💵💸💲don touch eee hand, my phone 📱is no longer recognised.

Joebie:
No player is stupid not to demand match bonus etc playing for Nigeria, a country/FA ran by people who have no iota of patriotism or won’t sacrifice a thing. You are delusional.

Do you know that a lot of Nigeria's born players sign off their match bonus to different NFF officials.

Thats why match bonus of Nigerian players is paid in cash 💸💵💲, so it's deducted at source.

It's not paid into bank accounts for obvious reasons 😞

Marjoribanks:
Most of the Senegalese, Algerians and Morrocans players do not take match bonuses playing for their country.
It's pathetic that ignorant people just come here to spit trash!
Folarin practically said he wanted to play for us. Why stress inviting him when we have more than 4 strikers better than him?

Did we invite him and he refused? No?
USMNT wanted and needed him desperately and he agreed to play for them. What is all these cry all about?

Apart from V.O. please name the 4

Joebie:
Let’s look at the reality on ground. Balogun’s chances with England is dicey. Then look at the USMNT’s international record. USA overall has performed beyond expectations at the WC based on the talents they have over the years. Shows they have a great soccer administration. Then also consider which country needs him most. It’s a no brainer! He made the right choice. Me I no go dey play for banana plantation here and there and be arguing over my match bonuses, when I should be getting premium treatment with the US. Then think retirement, you are on your own. Our football admins need to show a high degree of patriotism. Let’s focus on that, and we will have more talents wanting to play for Nigeria.

I disagree with the bold.

Our football admins need to show a high degree of professionalism, competence, strategic and forward planning, financial probity, meritorious organisational culture, integrity, honesty, etc to name just a few .

What value is patriotism without integrity, honesty and competence ❓

I'm sure PMB is regarded as patriotic.

Joebie:
He is the number 4 rated player in the league based on average score all games put together.

It's inconsequential and academic because nobody is rating him as top player.

Has any La Liga club come for him or we are waiting for Napoli ❓

Maybe he can get third division in Turkey .

Joebie:
He is the number 4 rated player in the league based on average score all games put together.

Your need to expand please.

What makes him the 4th best Midfielder in the Segunda division ❓

Those are statistical non contextual ratings and each rating body will have different ones.

Joebie:
You dey tag my statistical reference “misrepresentation”. He is currently number 4 in La Liga 2, and that’s what matters most.

Number 4 in what please.❓

Because what does that actually mean what's the unit of measurement what are the key performance indicators that allowed a statistic based deduction that he is number 4. Number 4 in what ❓

Does that mean he is the 4th best Midfield player in the Segunda division ❓

Let me give contextual comparison, some time ago when Cardiff where in the EPL. There was a time when Sol Bamba Cardiff City CB had better statistics than Virgil Van Dyke.

A reflection of the fact that they spent their brief time in the EPL defending desperately. As a consequence they had high number of clearances and tackles etc.

Did that make Sol Bamba better than Virgil Van Dyke absolutely not.

The lesson some statistics are indicative and not conclusive and must taken in CONTEXT.

I could add Ndidi had oustanding defensive statistics but did that make him the best DM in the EPL ❓and or better than Ngole Kante ❓

I am waiting for your response with interest.

Nigerian Footballers shining across Europe: Monday Edition, May 15

Yusuf Otubanjo Goal in the Armenian Vbet PL. His 15th league goal of the season.

Ibrahim Said Brace in the Danish Super Liga. 8 G/A in 28 league games.

20 y/o Goodness Igbokwe Goal in the Armenian Vbet PL. His 3rd league goal.

Tyronne Ebuehi Assist in Serie A. His 6th G/A in Serie A this season.

This is nonsensical.

This is your idea of SHINING in Europe players doing the basics in the most obscure and poor quality leagues in Europe .

If I were to be celebrating and talking about all the Nigerian origin players in the national conference the English 5th tier.

You would be up in arm's doing somersaults and giving a tirade of non stop derogatory abuse. You and quite a few others.

elyte89:
What’s d update with ours …are we truly ending up with salisu for d next two years 😊?

Should it be a suprise by any stretch of the imagination. This is Nigeria 🇳🇬

Corruption and gross misconduct are brushed away as minor acts of indiscretion and slight errors of judgement. In general across our country Nigeria 🇳🇬.

After all Escobar and Osama have been SELECTED to lead the country.

And Akpabio with excess luggage of corruption as Governor, Minister and running the NDDC and all EFCC cases swept under the carpet. Is in line to be Senate president.

Let us celebrate 🎉 corruption is going ballistic. It should not even be called corruption but normal government policy and practice.

AndSunGorilla:
Ndidi starts tonight in the almost make or mar game for Leicester tonight. I think if they lose tonight, their relegation would be almost confirmed.

One thing is certain, at least two teams with Nigerians will be relegated from the EPL this season. I am hoping the two out of Forest, Everton and Leicester won't be relegated. However, if they do, I would rather Forrest stay up, Everton and Leicester can go for now, sorry to Iwobi, ndidi and KC.

I've said this before.

Liecester don't have the Quality to stay up compared to the other teams.

Everton have suffered from a succession of poor managers and it's taken quite a few years to get them into this situation. But they have really good quality players and a far bigger squad with quality depth.

Already Leicester City are 2-0 at half time, I can't see them winning or even getting a draw. Probably end 4-1.

Nottingham forest are out of sight and can probably survive with a draw in the last two games left.

Leicester have a mountain 🏔️ to climb can't see them beating Newcastle and WestHam in their last two games

Leeds are more or less done nothing more to offer they have very few quality players.

lbrichman2:
Lol
Maybe na wetin him fit afford

The fees are standard.

And most clubs will depending on relationships will allow your to meet the practical requirements by coaching in the academy.

If he had come to me, l would have got him any of three Premier league teams, that I know are accomodating.

It will not cost him anything most club will like to create a relationship with a national football body even go into partnership of sorts.

But our NFF guys don't seems to want to exploit and or create stretegic partnerships.

Papi85:
no epl team showed interest in osimhen when he was at charleroi. He only attracted man united after having a stellar season at lille but preferred a move to Napoli

Like someone replied you earlier, awoniyi had he’s reasons for moving to the epl and to me the 3 major reasons were to be with he’s young family, studies and money.

At Union I doubt he earned close to 20k euros weekly and believe he earns almost double or even more currently at Forrest. Also this players are wise now unlike ex internationals that merely had something tangible to fall back on after retirement.

Football career is short and the major reason why many footballers are diverting into earning certification to enable them hv a career in football, business or corporate world after their retirement. Emenalo and olofinjana are 2 good examples.

Even if Forrest drops to the championship awo will be comfortable and better positioned to achieve he’s main reason of swapping Germany for England

His main reason very simple 💷💷💷💷💷

Pls who appointed Salisu Yusuf as assistant super eagles coach with contract and left Finidi George without contract?

Finidi probably rejected the peanuts they are paying or donated it to charity.

Joebie:
Nwakali is top 5 in the league and u dey argue Ponferradina. Nwakali at this point is negotiating his next move. The club must start to plan for life without him in the third tier haha


Modified
He don too try for them. Came off the bench to give them an assist

All this is misrepresentation and disinformation it's simply not true.

Nwakali was so good at Huesca he went through the indignity of first of all being offered to any club for €300k Euros nobody wanted him in the Segunda division.

They Huesca tried to terminate his contract illegally before it had expired, but failed.

He was essentially kicked out of Huesca unceremoniously. He was the second to the last lowest paid player in his club.

He then went to Ponferradina FC a club facing bankruptcy and he is getting paid peanuts. That club is two games from relegation and have remained in the relegation zone all season.

And you are saying he is number 5 in the Segunda division among Midfielders. He gets benched in his own club regularly.

James Ibori vs Bola Ahmed Tinubu

When Econet came to Nigeria, they met with the political class to help them facilitate their operation lisence and Set-up

They met James Ibori who insisted on collecting millions of dollars as bribe

They met Bola Ahmed Tinubu who invested Lagos revenue in their company helping them setup and making profits in billions for Lagos State

When ExxonMobil wanted to build an headquarters, Bola Ahmed Tinubu quickly made available land in Lekki and as the company treasurer he ensured the building was constructed in Lagos

Sometimes it takes strong leadership like that of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban of Borgu GCFR to control wayward youths and engage them like they did with MC Oluomo and his goons in Lagos

.

You are presenting myths as facts and to be honest a very deep web of lies and deceit.

War destroys cities:
Every Nigeria City or aspiring city should learn something from the Collapse of Warri as Oil City👇👇👇

Warri was a big industrial hub in the 70's - 90's.

Warri Refinery, NNPC, DSC, Delta Glass, Shell, Chevron, Schlumberger, Dunlop, Agip, Saipem, Halliburton were in full operation back then. Escravos & Forcados were at their peak.

The city thrived. The city was full of zeal and zestful activities. People living outside hardcore Warri called themselves Wafarians because of propinquity to Warri even though they were not Wafarians. To be a Wafarian was to belong to supposedly a unique lifestyle.

Multinational/Local Banks were present Citibank, FBN, ACB, Savannah Bank.

Business activities thrived. Warri port was a beehive of economic activities

Entertainment/Night life was at its peak, Musicians, Live bands at Palmgroove Hotel, Comedians held their sway: Fela, legendary Don Baker, Majek Fashek, Emma Grey, Oritz Wiliki, Rex Lawson were a few of many of the entertainers that made Warri ebullient. Lido, Zina, etc were comparable to their ilks anywhere.

The town was full of life and it thrived.

McDermot road was busy with Maritime activities and contractors. Kingsway Mall offered anything sold in Lagos at that time.

Joma & Mosheshe were big fish distributors across the Niger Delta.

Rubber produced locally, was used to produce plastics and tyres.

The town grew in size and became a conurbation with people coming from all over the country to settle down in Warri for economic activities.

The Airports were super busy, Escravos, Forcados & Warri Airport. The Warri Airport was even relocated to Osubi for expansion.

Warri was revelling in its glory. Warri Port was fully operational and served as an economic booster for the city. It served businesses in Warri, Benin, Asaba & Onitsha. The Port created huge employment opportunities for locals and the state.

Things started to go downhill from the late 90's. The community leaders and youth chairmen began to fight themselves over control/sharing formula for royalties that came from oil & businesses from settlers.

Itsekiri, Urhobo & Ijaw leaders & youths started fighting each other. The bloody fight started around 1999 and lasted for years till 2003/2004.

The community leaders started imposing local taxes called "Deve" on all companies, industries and local businesses, buildings & projects.

Little by little, the companies frustrated, started leaving.

This continued throughout the early 2000's till 2010. The companies kept on leaving, one after the other. The companies layed off their employees. Unemployment rose.

More companies left for PH, Lagos, Akwa Ibom. They layed off more staff. Unemployment increased still.

Today all that is left in Warri, is a shadow of its glorious past.

95% of all the big companies in Warri had either left or closed down.

Most of the young people have left Warri.

The ones left are driving Keke, doing P.O.S, Spa or Boutique, Beer parlour or doing hookup.

There's peace now, but the damage the greedy community leaders did to Warri, still lingers on and is almost irredeemable at this point.

Do not assume that your city can not be destroyed if it toes the same route Warri followed. Warri leaders did not ever believe that Warri will be this economically empty today while they were fighting then. Learn from Warri and protect our economies

Have you asked why big eeconomies like US, China,etc will never allow war in their countries?

We must learn and avoid things that will trigger war in our country no matter how strong we believe we are. Businesses and investors go where there is peace than where there is war.

Follow us on This Is Nigeria

Everything you have said I agree with without question.

However, l will add the final nail in the coffin ⚰️ if Warri city ,was when the evil be schemer and manipulative artful Dodger.

With blatant disregard for demographics and urban economic development, decidef unilaterally to pla e capital of Delta state in his wife's small town then Asaba.

It was outright BLATANT NEPOTISM.

Asaba is on the border of the state , at the time was not as developed and or as populous as Warri in the first instance. But in addition Sapele, Agbor, Ughelli, Abraka were much more economically developed and with larger populations.

But look at wher the Niger Delta oil money is going and developing its Asaba. The once sleepy small Asaba has become the biggest City in Delta state.

The Uhrobo Ijaw and Itsekiri leaders have FAILED the people.

Joebie:
Ponferradina making a mistake not starting Nwakali against Huesca. Make d boy teach them something.

Why 😲

There has been a never ending narrative here that's founded on misplaced fantasy.

That Nwakali is the best player in Ponferradina FC a team and he is doing incredible things in this poor quality league.

When a team is fighting for survival and is near bankrupt they are desperate. They will absolutely START the best players they have.

All the teaching he has been doing and they have remained in the relegation from the start of the season. 40 game's played and only 8 wins it's very poor.

Joebie:
I see no reason why Osimhen can’t play from the right considering Mbappe often plays from the left, the problem is we need a striker with a very high conversion rate, as lethal as Osimhen if Victor operates from the right.

He doesn't have the technical skills required to play from the wing.

It's like asking Kane or Haaland to play wing .

ChrisKels:
Chuba Akpom

And where in my post did you read that Soton will be back after a season? Where also did you read that being a goal king translates to getting your team promoted? Kane is one of the goal Kings of the epl this season, does that make Tottenham qualify for the Champions league?

Let me quote your verbatim.

Onuachu might just end up as the goal king in the championship next season

What does this imply ❓

ChrisKels:
Onuachu might just end up as the goal king in the championship next season.

Tell me one player in the last ten years that couldn't score a single goal in the premier League. That went to the Championship and became a top goal scorer.❓

In reality getting back to the EPL is far from easy look at Watford, West Bromwich, Norwich, then look at Huddersfield and Cardiff got relegated 3/4 seasons ago and are now in the bottom half of the league romancing relegation.

There is no guarantee that Southampton will be right back in the EPL after being relagated.
