gboye_1999:

Yes..its suspect. The individual skills doesnt make it so obvious for the average observer.
The attack lacks variety in way ball is moved.

Very good fluidity in the midfield although there's a high rate of uncompleted passes as well. They hold on to the ball too much.
I think the Defense may be too high on the pitch... A crowded midfield in the opposing team may put our team under serious pressure.

like Sweden and CIV. with time in the competition every tactical inability will show. especially during the knockout stages. where some well organized teams will score 1 goal and defend it to the last minute. Simply put, our team lacks variety in attack. even spain and barca with all their array of MF still use wings when the chips are down. But do we have any winger The answer in NO. So much belief in the MF. to break down any opposition.

I know when Dutch embassy then sent some private lawyers to investigate all the information i wrote in my visa application. They even went as far as my village to confirm some from neighbors. I think i paid some amount for that investigation. Why cant all these pension houses adopt same. If their motive is really people not collecting peoples money. Even if the submittals are lies, one will always get the truth from neighbors and the man's work place. Must we suffer ourselves in everything?.

Emmanuel602: Why go with some pension manager when you have the opportunity to invest your money in agriculture or even open a small shop when you are still in the civil service with a foresight on retirement
My broda its by fire by force from companys. U must open it. Thats the way it is. If its willingly, why will someone take out some %ge of his earning and dump it into where he cannot access it whenever he needs it. Its only a mad man that will do such

Joeadamxx: Yababoy,

Agreed that the Pension Act as it is now is better than what it was before. But the thread Captain made a valid argument as I have colleagues going through the same experience with IBTC. When we were leaving our last employment, we were assured our 25% withdrawal will be ready within 2 months, 3 months down the line, it is only story. I am really afraid as I have a lot of money I cannot mention here in their coffers

IBTC? Chineke!!!!!! i am using them oh. Choi perewinkle don tie wrapper be that. Thats exactly the same story they told our company then. hmmmmm.

Why We Dropped Solomon - Eaglets Coach
allnigeriasoccer.com Oct 1 2013

A coach of the Nigeria under 17 team has finally opened up on the controversial exclusion of HNK Rijeka youngster Theophilus Solomon from the Nigeria Under 17 Team.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, he said : “It was one of the toughest decision we had to make during the camping in Calabar as Theophilus Solomon was on fire but everybody knows that the essence of our camping in Calabar was to discover midfielders and defenders as we are well covered in the attack,that aside we would have gone with him but the directive of 30 players by the NFF further tied our hands.

“Solomon on his part wasn’t the same after his muscle problem even though he scored a brace in our last game before he was asked to go.”

[s]On allegations that he had problems with some coaching staff, the coach said:“Yes I know of a particular coach who accused him of not greeting him prior to a training session but that wasn’t an issue at all, he is a cool kid, level headed and also some people claimed he was outshining Isaac Success that isn’t true as well.[/s]

“Success is Success,Solomon is Solomon,we reached a joint conclusion that our four attackers who have been with us for over 3years should be considered first and that was it.”

Concluding he said: “He is a good player,a very good one. I read he has agreed to join Catania, he will be a big hit, I even tip him to break into the Super Eagles squad ahead of some players who will play at the Under 17 World Cup.”

i know u didnt see this

Limaoscar: Leading by 2 goals to 1 but I must say that I am not very confident of this team for the following reasons;

1. Don't look like we have any wings.....for a Nigerian side coached by Garba and Amuneke especially

2. Consequent upon point no1. we have not had any corner kicks as the boys are hell bent on playing through the middle.

3. The boys are playing a European style short passes and the final ball is often cut-off

4. The shots on goal from other attackers apart from Iheanacho has been very awful.
5. They are show-boating a little and look over confident in front of goal

I think in the second half , the Nigerian coaches should bring in some wingers and advise good finishing on the final balls otherwise, this seemingly weak but tactically better Mexican side will win this match by at least 3-2 scoreline.
Also going forward, they need to improve on every game and take most chances in front of goal.

I wish them a win in this game.

I watched this team train in calabar, The MF is very good, but the coach forgot too soon what the team suffered against CIV. i expected him to source and keep good wingers that can change the pattern of play. Dont be surprised that they will keep playing through the middle till the final whistle. mtcheeew. Someone asked here if am a brother to theo solomon, my answer is no, but the young man won everyones heart with his wing play and deliveries. Most times cuts in to score breathtaking goals. But was dropped without any tangible reason. I believe every team always have a joker, that guy would ve been it i swear. Thank God we re already up. At least Mex must score 2 goals to win this game

D midfield is congested. Use d wings.
Which wings?? The only natural and skillful winger in the team, Theophilus Solomon was dropped. The same thing CIV played us in morroco and won us twice is what Mexico is playing. Congest the MF, the team will suffer. My heart is really heavy.

Stallion motors have been in Nigeria for how many years now. Do you know anybody that has bought a brand new car from them?

Brand new cars are not cheap anywhere in the world and most countries have a credit system which Nigeria doesn't have.

The policy is stupid.

Who supervised the renovation as it was ongoing. Who wrote the job project requirements, scope and specification. Was it done by an alomo drinking individual or was it given to a professional Did JB deviate from the job specifications or did they follow it to the latest Which stadium did they use as a blueprint Questions and questions and questions.

Nigeria will not ve bin where it is today..a force within Africa n d world if not f d blessing of d amalgamation..n no single region in dis country will b able t achieve that alone.
Its time we start celebrating our diversity n focus on how we can bring our individual strengths t bear on d collective progress of dis Great country.

I Love My Country Nigeria

Bombastic element. Even if we have continued as regions, we would have grown more than this, cos there will be competition between each region, not to mention when each is on its own. Why was the East not allowed to secede and be on their own That was exactly the reason everyone was forced into a marriage with all these camel fuckers.
