let him even qualify Benin to the Afcon lets see..the last qualifiers na Mozambique and Rwanda take him eyes see shege for qualifiers, this edition make we see how he will scale through Rwanda and Libya to qualify 😂🤣

Benin national team doesn't possess the pedigree of the super eagles, however he already coached the same Benin to beat the super eagles

JohnBullMySon:
In addition, Osimhen is more relatable to the typical Nigerian.

Very true. He is the embodiment of that typical Lagos boy spirit . Again his average and humble background, his ruggedity, the way he chooses to talk, in his kindness,the ones we know and the many we will never know, his flaws, He has that Nigerian hunger, that Nigerian wildness. Show boy and star boy from Olusosun, Lagos -Nigeria, Benin boy with Yoruba orientation.

Oasis007:
There is something I observed since the news was shared here about Mola's Nomination for Ballon D'Or but ain't gonna talk about it.

I am sure, many have noticed it too but don't wanna talk about it. We can do better though.

Personality matters. Ademola himself is said to be quite shy and introverted. This is the way he likes to keep his profile low-key. Not too much in the news.

Omo the way these coaches are looking, e be like say we go beat Benin Rep, by 3 goals to nil.

Camp updates please

Inactivity is similar to an injury, the difference is.

For an injury you need to get back to your best fitness level.
For inactivity, you just need to maintain your current fitness level.

Sandro Tonali was banned a year ago, he came back one game, starred and Italy invited him for EUROS.

This same Ivan Toney was banned for 8 months, came back, had a banging Euros and secured oil money.

Greenwood didn't play for almost 2 years
Came back, stunned La Liga and is currently the face of Ligue 1.

Don't be a donut, my good man.

Also Onana was banned , and later went on to play for inter Milan and now Manchester united

AndSunGorilla:
I remember how he frustrated Kollibally 4 several years before eventually selling him to Chelsea. Let's see how events play out..

Also at Conte, he frustrated Diego Costa out of Chelsea killing his career eventually and started the end of Mikel Obi's career too.

That said, Victor is a fighter, he's going to make it out alive!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't understand how you guys make this Osimhen brouhaha look like. I casually see it as one of those things about football.
Today,Osimhen's fans are cursing ADL, tomorrow they are cursing Napoli, next tomorrow they were cursing Chelsea, then they will curse his agent now they are blaming Conte. Wetin !
Didn't Osimhen himself also put in a request for transfer to start with ?
I just hope in the coming days all this matter die down and we will move on. Even all the fabrizo , Oma, Pooja etc were not giving any substantial news/ sources,all we got was circle reports. Perharps he might just terminate his contract with Napoli if he likes.

I hope the boy has clarity of mind and dreams to chase.

ChrisKels:
George Ilenikena deserves an opportunity with the eagles now that Osimhen is not an active professional footballer.

Wetin be this 😂😂😂😂

Subzerooo:
Realistically which club is going to sign Osimhen in the next two years?

That will be determined by his performance. The Saudi league is as tough as the AFCON tournament.

If he scores himself enough goals to return to Europe he might be considered. But then another easier route back to Europe will be through the Nigerian national team, (a team he said "no be my papa get super eagles" over his outburst on social media) he has to play good at national team tournaments . One major difference for Odion Ighalo was the 2019 AFCON where he emerged the top scorer , hence, a major reference for then united Coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who said Ighola had outshone African's biggest talents like Mane and Salah in AFCON and he was good enough for United.

zicky:
Just for the record book.

Alex iwobi has now scored in 10 consecutive EPL seasons.
Kanu is the only Nigerian with a better record (12)

In all that is consecutive, does he have up to 20 EPL career goals ?

Modified

Alex Iwobi has 23 EPL goals in his over 10 years career.

mostob:
Who we go believe now? You or Fabrizio? 🤣🤣🤣

🤣😂

BascoVanVeli:
Edo Queens vs Ainonvi FC of Benin Republic.
Not their best performance but the job got done in style

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RM72fsCtQ4

Beautiful job bascovanveli
This girls play great football. Their coaching team is obviously doing a commendable job.

With adequate preparation , they can beat mamelodi sundown's female team at the Championship proper

oloriooko:
what came out from the guy's mouth while on video call with Osi after 9ja beat Cameroon showed the guy is an undisciplined talent and if he's not careful will cut his career short with his wildness and loose life style

Hahahahaha 😂😂

elyte89:
Someone dt commanded d highest amount transfer in psg history is not a legend😊?

Oh yes. I know this.

Marjoribanks:
PSG just dey use our boys play tikitaka! Osimhen first, now Lookman! Why?

What is Okocha doing about this? See how Mikel is fighting for Osimhen to come to Chelsea!

If you know you don't want them why negotiate with them? I do not understand!

Lookman to PSG off!

Okocha's true legendary status was at Bolton.
He was even bigger at Fernabache than PSG.
He only attaches to PSG because the club has become big. But his influence as a legend there is minimal.

TheLoneCitizen:
Love him to death.
But current Mourinho is a very average coach.

But 100% Fenerbahce will beat Lille this match

Will this Mourinho finish the season at Fernabache like this.

RealityKings:
I own the moniker sunshow and I have been on here for a long time. I was banned so I used that to comment since I did not want to do like others nominating themselves with there several alternative monikers

You sound so desperate, why do you have to talk about others nominating themselves with their alternative monikers here, when we all know sofar so good none of such has happened. That is wrong to say. For me that is enough to automatically disqualify you

lelion:
For the 150k token for detribalized Nigerians here, ;
1. Humility33 nominated banned large and Danielnino.
2. Chriskels nominated Danielnino.

By the end of this month of August, the prize will go to the person nominated the most. The money will be paid into his/her account and the person will acknowledge receipt on this thread.

Do4luv should have it.

charlesemeka85:
I nominate Chriskel

You joke too much. Mazi chriskel I hail you sir. Nwanne.

I nominate Omanbala

Danielnino00:
Stephen Curry!! What a player...

I was so anti USA but Stephen was smoking hot .. jeez. He still got it in him like it was 10 years ago. He really put on a show mhen.

Marjoribanks:
Since you are crazy! Show me the rules that shows that?

Ori iya dota. Olofo lenu. Iwa were lo Kun ile iya re

SamueItem337:
He won Europa league with them last season nobody saw that coming
Got to the coppa Italian finals
He scores week in week out
They can even fight for another trophy this season
I don't see how staying there will affect his career badly

We thought same with Osimhen's Napoli last season

Amedino99:
Rivalry or hatred I can't say at this point

Twitter banter, but it is coming at the wrong time , especially from the number one figure in the country. In a time when both countries i.e Nigeria and South Africa are at logger heads.

Marjoribanks:
Baba see what I was talking about ! Putting Ofili and Julia in lane 9 and 8 respectively is a sabotage. Long and Terry with least favorable time got the middle lane. Why? The same way they allowed our basketball team to play first before France vs Australia. Trust this peep at... AndSunGorilla

Relax, for the basketball that's how it's been done. Sometimes when we want to cry foul it better not be from our heart but head.

ChrisKels:
Were the coup plotters serving eastern military government or Nigerian military government? Was the coup in the interest of the old Eastern region or in the interest of the federal government?

And the counter coup was carried out by who? For what reasons ?

My dear the more you talk, the more you reveal your weaknesses on this issues. Read more literature on this issue, it will help you well. I'm tired for the day, I know you want to learn but maybe another time . However this is a football thread for all and this matter often end in raising emotions and sentiment. I'm not in the best mood to manage that while explaining the difference between western education and early Islamic educational system of northern Nigeria. The disparity in number of schools up to independence Nigeria. Read more bro. It will surely help in fine tuning your own understanding

codemaniacs:
Education thrived everywhere in Nigeria for those that could afford it..

if you listen to Ahmadu Bello talk you'll know how educated he was in that era which means there were other northerners like him...

is Dangote an un-educated

from the early 1900s even before Nigeria's almagation of northern and southern Nigeria.. Nnamdi Azikwe's father was working for the Bri:tish as a secretary and hundreds if not thousands of other i:gbos were also working for the bri:tish all over Nigeria because the Bri:tish favored them not because other tribes were not qualified and un-educated until 1960 when the Bri:tish left..

their white collar employment had nothing to do with Ahmadu Bello and Balewa. since they already had those jobs before independence and continued on the jobs after independence so Ahmadu Bello, Akintola were working towards replacing i:gbos who had jobs ( which was what we now call federal jobs ) in the north and western Nigeria...

you are i:gbo because it is mostly i:gbos that fail to acknowledge that other tribes are also qualified for high white collar office jobs.. which is what I was trying to explain to comodo who may also be i:gbo since he was complaining about quota-system forgetting that other tribes also have highly qualified people..

or is Finidi unqualified to coach S.E because he invited someone playing in Tanzania or was Stephen Keshi unqualified to coach the S.E because he invited an unknown Sunday Mba and still won the AFCON and qualified for Second Round of World Cup

from the 1900s till 1960s i:gbos were not the only qualified people in Nigeria but the Bri:tish favored them because colonial:ists try to ensure one ethnic nation is dominant than others and has dominance over the others..

You have a skewed and crooked knowledge of Nigerian history. I'm not even igbo, but then you present little fact with many false narrative. You failed to acknowledge one thing Education thrived in the south, hence the southern party of ncnc with their alliance with the northern party led by saurdana of sokoto and tafawa helped the igbo majority ncnc party into various high white collar office jobs that the igbos were qualified for at that time. While the losing fraction was the western region at the federal level. If you had acknowledged this maybe it will change your narrative.

codemaniacs:
In a regional government system some regions will prosper and grow faster than others and some Nigerians out of envy for those regions don't want that to be the case and will begin to accuse the regions growing fast of corruption...

it was what indirectly led to the civil war...

false accusations of corruption against Nigeria by the likes of Ojukwu, ironsi e.t.c. which also was indirectly false accusations against the prospering region ( at the time was western Nigeria ).. especially after the broadcast of Ahmadu Bello saying he will rather hire foreigners than hire i:gbos because i:gbos had most of the federal jobs in the north due to the brit:ish giving the jobs to i:gbos whom they favored before independence so after independence most non-i:gbos assumed the i:gbos will do the right thing and give the jobs back to the indigenes but the i:gbos didn't do that and even in western Nigerian Ladoke Akintola also released a broadcast complaining about i:gbos keeping all the lecturing jobs in U.I and that Y:orubas were only doing the jobs of cleaners, gardeners...

so weeks or months after the broadcasts, the 1966 coup happened and both Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were killed by the coup plotters..

Regional government can never ever be tried again because after the abolishment of regionalism by ironsi and after the civil war Gowon said " Nigeria has too much money and they did not know what to do with it " please note Gowon didn't say this before 1966 because he said it after 1970.. which means what he truly meant was that "Southern Nigeria has too much money and now that the North is in control the north did not know what to do with it".

NNPC was created in 1977.... the coup that the Igbos did, happened in 1966 and If they didn't abolish regionalism it will mean its Eastern Nigeria Petroleum Company that would have been created and it would have meant that Eastern Nigeria controlled at least 80% of Nigeria's revenue and wealth. which means more jobs, infrastructure, social benefits, healthcare for the eastern region...

but the Igbos were too short-sighted and jealous of the western region been ahead financially not knowing they were about to be extremely wealthy in the coming years due to oil boom and therefore destroyed a regional system that would have made the eastern region the richest region in Nigeria and probably whole of Africa with no other region coming close..

Mujtahida:
It will collapse and its already showing signs of collapse. No historical precedence for the success of a diverse nation. Look to Rome the archetypical example of how diversity combines with other causes to dissolve a nation.

What makes diversity a poison in this our age is that it has become weaponized and is a shield for something very sinister which the future will unfold. I will not go further make we no derail the thread.

The liberal west are fully aware of this. Hence, why Brexit could happen, and Trump could win in 2016 and again this year. Trump said he will build a wall in the Mexican border because they were taking their jobs. UK left EU because they were taking their jobs. You might expect a total collapse, but it has begun as a mechanism of rebirth itself. For the nations that are at the fore front of globalization, laissez-faire because it benefits their capitalist drive, they tend to be on the extreme opposite when it comes to migration of people. They are no longer open for that.

Bannedlargejr:
200 Million population and no Gold medal?? Tomorrow, one idiot will declare that Nigerians are the smartest people in the world.. This is unfortunate

How many gold medals does India with a population of over 1 billion have

lovewins:
What do they need one for?

you are smart. Nice retort. But this goes further to strengthen the argument of how little St Lucia's govt with a population of 170k is willing to support it's most prized athlete. Perharps if Nigeria was as small as st Lucia we can give our athletes such support. Or if we had the giant status of USA we can use our funds for that.


However I noticed south Africa only has one gold medal in this Olympics, isn't that odd. With how much they spend on sports one would have expected them to have 3 gold by now.
