Mhen , I just saw a video of Gift Orban with a boy of about 5 years old, which he had captioned as his son. If that was really his son , then it means he had him at 15 years. I will not say anything

It's just so sad that at least two clubs in the the EPL with Nigerian players will be relegated.

Age detectors, oya do your thing

How many of this guy's played the zonal qualifiers. It looks like an overhaul of them. Or is the camera specially capturing the bench players who are of real ages.

Black people are the oldest. lol! Yet you were colonized, taking as slaves and sent into slavery. You run to their lands to become their slaves. They come to your land with honor yet you believe you are the oldest cos your forefathers were used to build one silly pyramid. Abeggy!

Well actually we are historically the oldest race on earth.

charlesemeka85:
even in Ancient Greek they acknowledged that ancient Egypt was a black nation

Greek philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates n others were tutored by ancient black Egyptians

I think the white race came to Egypt through Alexander the Great when he conquered the North African nation

Facts full google 🤣

Even Ethiopians who are more blacks or Nubian don't consider themselves as blacks

charlesemeka85:
ancient Egyptians were black

Naso 😂😂

codemaniacs:
There are black Egyptians who say they are black.. they are just not given exposure due to the lie the eu:ropeans have to maintain and keep repeating so that people won't believe it was black people and Africans that built the great pyramids and the world's earliest civilization.

Lol...historian himself. Egyptologist. Pan-Africanist.. Marxist .

The Benue river consumes more people per year than how birds pluck fishes from the river. And unfunnily enough, a friend from Wurukum told me it only takes non-indigenes. And this rumour is lowkey popular around that North Bank side and Wurukum area after the bridge. I lost a colleague to it too, and that was when other colleagues began to narrate their loss stories too, and stories they heard.

One story that transpired that very time I was there when my colleague drowned was that some other persons went there to swim and the river came out to the bank where they were and swallowed one of them. He wasn’t even swimming! It just came at him, held him as a friend would hug his longtime friend he’s just seen, and took him beneath.

You are a good writer.

Don’t mind dem…with all d monies city injected into the team project, deir first two champions league ended in d the 2nd round and so many quarter finals b4 Dey could gada d experience to break the jinx and move to the semi finals and final(just once)

Yeah exactly. It's all gradual. Imagine the number of CL semifinals Chelsea under Jose Mourinho got to, only to be knocked out by Liverpool in the semifinals. There was a time Chelsea was knocked out by Barcelona in the semifinals and that was probably the most painful exit. Then came avram grant final lose to Man united

Bossman5:
Why isn't Bayern Munich nous, history and pedigree helping them against city

It's a simple question, city isn't playing the quarter finals for the first time. But when city played the CL finals for the first time they lost to a Chelsea team that had played in three finals before.

komekn:
It's inconsistently consistent for the stupendous valuation and demand that Villarreal has put on him.

How do you determine consistency it's outstanding continuous performance over a period of time. It's not occasional flash in the pan brilliant performances.

Chukwueze has been at Villarreal in La Liga for 5 seasons, last season he scored 3 goals the season before that 4 goals and the season before that 3.

That's essentially average but with an over valued transfer by fee. Another Nigerian born player left the Championship in 2021 as a winger comes to Villarreal and scores 10 goals in 23 games. Now on loan from VillaReal heating up the bench in Tottenham. He cost £21 million.

And VillaReal want clubs to pay £100 million, l think they are dreaming.

Chukwueze is not among the to 20 best Winger's in the world far from it.

Not too long ago a few contributors here were saying he is better than Saka and Sancho.

You need to be realistic.

I believe u understand better what inconsistency is than the Madrid bosses who are interested in him. You think they don't know him in and out . You think u know him better or understand him better because he is a Nigerian who has found his path from home to be where he is today. At every point certain decision must be made and sometimes it will work well and other time it wouldn't . Thats just how life is.

AndSunGorilla:
Are you insinuating a brilliant coach wouldn't be able to fix the puzzle of right subs most of the times? Mind you I never said all the time.

Not in any of the above context. Is Randy waldrum a brilliant coach or not ?

Basco abeg do this super falcons highlight on time naaa

AndSunGorilla:
A brilliant coach will most often than not get the puzzle right.

Easy on that take man .

ChrisKels:
This is who dey pitched against me in 2016 and they were expecting me to have a good day? Lol una dey ment 🤣😂

In 2016 chukwueze had already won the under 17 world cup. He couldn't have been pitched against you in ur dean's cup or faculty cup

What's the score update between Super falcons vs Haiti

andrew444:
Seeing osimhen here and his value put a smile on my face

Osimhen is who he thinks he is

If we check jude Bellingham and Vinicius' DNA I will not be surprised they carry Nigerian ancestry. See Saka see Jamal Musiala. Even Mbappe is said to have a bit Nigerian blood. God bless Nigeria.

daveP:
VicMo will read the game, see the rubbish his teammates are playing and then go solo and do it all and get results. Intelligence should be 5&6 with any winger.


Winger runs and defender tracks, as slow down comes, that's the best moments to make the dangerous move that will result in a pk(osayi did just that today). But simon will rather showboat and go solo and start one foolish muscling for the ball with defenders till e go throwing. How does that guy reason sef? I'm pissed.
If two or three close down he will rather try to go thru walls of jericho than pass. Aribo helped him in 2nd half sha.

This first paragraph is so true. This was something moses Simon tried to do in our first two games at afcon and couldn't sustain. Chukwueze on the other hand has produced such moments in bits of flashes. He produced a master-class performance at the AFCON 2019 against Cameroon where I think he scored. The next time Chukwueze did this was at last afcon last year where he got a goal in our group stage match again, and I feel it all boils down to something, which is they lack ability to give top class performances consistently. We are not getting the bite and creative harm of our attacking wingers on this consistent level. That was the beauty of victor moses and when he failed to perform at his last world cup he called it quit with the national team. I indeed understand victor moses decision to retire before the 2019 AFCON but I wished he played in the tournament because that tournament will have been easier for him as compared to the world cup, his technicality against teams like Burundi, Madagascar which we struggled against in group stage will have aided us. He will still dominate Cameroun like Chukwueze and he will not have been caged against Algeria in the semi finals. Our wingers neee to create, take initiative or lay good cross but yet they offer this abilities in glimpses

daveP:
Two clowns lead our national teams


One a Construction Site Contractor
The other more like Micheal Westen's Burn Notice buddy wey too like beach life, Sam Axe

We are in for a long ride.

Sadly we have to chop Sam Axe own circus show in June before we see afcon with Contractor.

How many people will understand this pun or analogy? Just say the easiest analogy which is pesiero is a "harry maguire" waiting to happen to the team 😂

Bossman5:
So what do you say about haaland

He plays in Man city.
Let's see him do this for a couple of season to believe him

Blueelf:
This is a huge point

However, I want you guys to understand this; this is UEFA and not Serie A

It's a different Ball game. Anything can happen

It will be a big shame if Napoli get's knocked out by AC Milan. It would put a huge dent on their image as Italian league leaders

I hope you see how Sporting Knocked Arsenal out last night

At least we won't hear Komekn's brag for a while

Nope. AC Milan is equally a team of substance and higher pedigree in comparison to Napoli. They have a richer history in the Champions league. They are as good as proving what they stand for when they face Napoli. It will rather be a dent on them to allow Napoli to walk on their face when they meet in the CL. This is Milan's only chance at winning a trophy too this season. So it will not be easy for Napoli and I hope they can make history for themselves by qualifying for their first CL semifinals. Milan has already won the CL five times, that's the biggest number by an Italian team. So they have the pedigree. Napoli has the form.

Super Eagles very uninspiring list

Ahmed Musa as usual gets his reserved spot

Joe Aribo who doesn't even make bench the last few months, Frank Onyeka and Ndidi who just got back from injury make up 3 of the only 4 midfielders

Imagine having a YumYum players, captain of the worst u20 team we've fielded in recent time making the list.

This team is based on personality not form. If a player like Emmanuel Dennis had at least a good personality he will be in the team like Ahmed Musa is on that list. It's a shame Dennis brought on himself. I wish him all the best and hope he gets to revive his career if he wants. On the other hand, he might move to the middle east and earn some cool cash there. But again he doesn't know how to submit himself in regulating and controlling environments.

Cecco90:
Nice one.
I learnt he's also eligible for Togo. Who knows the kind of ties he has with that country.

Whether he is actually a Togolese with a Nigerian passport, we have bullied Togo like how England has been doing to us

Clint02:
Somebody send Gift Orban's goals please. I nor fit watch the one for Twitter because of my location.

Lol. Me too

The way he is learning how to be matured and more responsible on his social media post these days, he will learn how to be more cryptic and elusive as a professional footballer when answering the press as well

Bossman5:
The Nigerian international has never hidden his desire to play in the English Premier League

Former Napoli striker Gianluca Savoldi has expressed his disappointment with the recent comments made by Victor Osimhen regarding his “dream move” to the Premier League.

Speaking on TMW Radio’s “Piazza Affari” show as per Tutto Napoli, Savoldi suggested that the Nigerian striker should have waited a little longer before making such comments, given the current situation at the club.

“Naples is a city that thrives on football,” said Savoldi. “Just imagine what is happening right now. If I know Spalletti, he didn’t jump for joy hearing this statement either.”

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in a club-record deal in 2020 but struggled with injuries and form in his first two seasons in Italy.

But the Super Eagles striker has reached stratospheric levels this term, netting 19 Serie A goals. His brilliance has attracted interest from abroad, with Manchester United and Chelsea reportedly leading the pack of admiring English suitors.

While Napoli insists the club is not under any financial pressure to sell their best players this summer, Osimhen’s recent comments have energised the rumour mills.

In a recent video on Sky Sports, Osimhen expressed his desire to play in the Premier League, saying: “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League one day.”

Savoldi, however, believes that such comments may not be well received by the Napoli faithful, especially given the current situation at the club.

Napoli are currently the runaway leader in Serie A and are favourites to land a first Scudetto title in more than three decades.

“It is human that Osimhen has the dream of going to play in the Premier League,” said Savoldi. “Perhaps, however, waiting a few weeks for these declarations would have made his words less noisy.”

daveP:
These guys have left our Clubs far behind sha.

They are gradually looking like the African club derby

@supernerd, accept our condolences. Stay safe and be strong

We didn't use any delay tactics here. We scored in the 75 minutes or so. And everyother call and actions were in accordance.

BascoVanVeli:
Flying Eagles training in Egypt. I'm sure they feel just at home on this pitch

Poor logistics. I see someone wearing Adidas pants in the warm-up. When our team is Nike sponsored

Danielnino00:
Don't be too sure bro .. the team is on a 6 game losing streak .. Randy hasn't won any game convincely since he took over the super falcons unless you count a 4-0 win against an amateur Burundi side....
Only reason the call for his sack hasn't been loud like it was for Rohr is because Nigerians don't put much interest in the female national team like that...

It will be a bad decision to call for his sack now. He should go to the world cup, however the case may be. We've had an impressive showing against super power teams in women's football recently. yes we are creating friendly games for these girls, but they are friendlies that allows the team to build up to the tournament proper. They will need momentum, they will need to win some of these matches again lower sides, and they definitely will do that. It's a team that Randy knows well, and ifby any indication he has a fair understanding of what awaits him if he fails to deliver at the world cup. At the end of the day the world cup is gonna be won by one team. And whoever the manager of this current side is will not win it. But the longevity of Randy' will be a plus for us in the tournament proper. We may be able to cause an upset or two with the team unity going into this world cup. Let them keep playing this friendlies and fixing the nuts.

Marjoribanks:
South Africa has a better league but not a better National team. So what are you on about the list!
Where was the team before Randy took over? This is one of our best team in recent decade!
Our two midfielders arrived very late (Ayinde and Okobi), that is why he started with a 3-5-2 formation.
The players had just one training session. Some did not even meet the training session.
Do you know what it takes to travel and play a team at home within 48 hours after playing for your club. I bet you never fly nor play football before. That is why you are running your mouth.

It wasn't an easy game, but I bet u the Mexican team can't play us in a proper contest. I watched the second half and it was obvious to see that our players knew in their heads that they can play better than what they played. I was even surprised to see the Mexicans playing with all they got in their arsenal. I'm sure we will win our next two games.
