Exactly. I have thought of it but no matter how one try to say it here it won’t fly cus many here don’t rate both

Any of torunarigha and Uduokhai will battle bassey for the position of the LCB as well as serve as cover in the LB position too
You might be right . But don't forget loyalty means the most. Bassey is the definition of that. Bassey made up his mind to play early for Nigeria. That's the fair price of the reward for loyalty. All the way from Rangers where he would go on to be Ajax highest signing. He chose Nigeria at that point where he was the peak.

Currently Bassey isn't doing badly as well. He is not even average, I rate Bassey above the Chelsea boy, Adarabioyo. Bassey is learning and improving everyday in the EPL. He will be a constant face in the EPL and that experience puts him head and shoulders above many. Though we can argue that some are better than him, but Bassey is better exposed than any current CB for Nigeria.

He should come to Arsenal
Milan leaks too much goals
They need better defenders
Saka is Arsenal
Saka is the English golden boy
He really needs to have a tough mindset and strong believe in himself to take that path.

First match back from injury, and under a new coach, and he was introduced in the 57th minute of the match rather than late in the match. That shows that the new coach rates him and I hope he keeps delivering.


Chuks nwa'mama
The guy's game play is quietly evolving. Should he remain at Milan he will have a lot to benefit.
In his last international match for us, he scored one of the most beautiful goal any super eagles player can dream about. His goal was only eclipsed by the home lose we suffered against Rwanda .
He is bulking up nicely, with more muscles.

Feyenoord begged him to stay?
Feyenoord didn't sign him because of the transfer fee
Even at feyenoord it would been hard for him to make the Belgium team
Feynoord offered to build their team around him . They were going to play to his strength. He has the choice and when he secretly met Cremonese official for a deal. He was looking for a big leap to a big 5 league. Unfortunately it didn't work out well.

3 years ago Dessers was playing for Cremonese
He still wouldn't have made the team
There was a Batshuayi, Origi and Benteke who would all have been picked ahead of him
Was it 4 years ago he led feynoord to the finals of conference league. Where he was golden boot winner. And where feynoord practically begged him to remain in their team so they could build around him. I think Arnie Slot was also his manager at that time.

Someone wrongly credited Edo State government for the resurgence of the state female club .
Wrong because most of the problems in our sports and other walks of life are what we know the solution to, and they are not rocket science.

The issue is that the government actively works to sabotage all purposeful ventures and endeavours in the country.

Anytime there is some positive news, it is due more to the agents of government not sabotaging it than they being instrumental to it.
To what extent is this true?

Mujtahida:
When Europeans were in Africa did you just accept it? No! It was resisted as it should. We fought it hard. You remember the wave of resistance to colonialism that swept through Africa in the 50s down to the 80s

You've got Indians pouring in, Chinese, Pakistanis, Nigerians, Syrians, Arabs pouring into the small island of England, changing its demographics and culture and on the basis of migration, you'd want an Englishman to accept that? Would you accept it if the reverse was the case? Walahi I will not. Nations are families. So just about any person will come to my house and stake a claim in competition with my child? I will boot the person out.

You migrate to another man's land, you are a migrant. Even deep inside you, you know it.

My point is that self preservation is the first law of nature. Every people have the right to do what is best for their people. As an immigrant, migrants are doing what they feel is best for them but they should not be surprised when they meet resistance.

In Nigeria, you see the same idea in that every ethnic group has their geographic space with certain privileges and entitlements. To flood a nation with different people each with their different cultures to the point where the indigenous people and culture is almost eradicated is nothing but a form of genocide and cultural suicide.
As good as your argument is, it bears some self contradiction.
The western ideology itself is driven by certain philosophical principles of libertarianism. Liberty meaning freedom. This idea has shaped them for many years and has helped them maintain a status of hegemony over every other race or group be it African, Asian as regards to Chinese or Indian or middle east as regards to Islamic driven ideologies.

Liberal ideas operates as capitalism at the economic side. A principle of open market , the idea that let the people choose what they want. And the government acts a regulator. A free hand market.

Liberal ideas operates under the guise of globalization, through technology as well as open borders we are able to move from one place to the other share ideas and values that helps improve our lifestyle.

The Western world has over the centuries driven this principle across the rest of the world , because this has been the principle through which it used to acquire its wealth.

Today, there are many growing concerns about this principle or ideology, as the western nations have recognized that an aspect of this Liberian ideology doesn't suit well with them. Hence, we are having demagogues who go about telling them that they cannot open their borders to foreigners again because these foreigners are sometimes religious extremist, economic migrant who reshape their own cultural identity. This is why we have Trump locking up borders, why we have UK voting BREXIT, and why we have other European nations asking Islamic faithfuls to return back to their original nation.

The western world is sold on its on interest , and as such interest takes on different changes in time and generation so will their demands change.

Have you wondered why it doesn't think about limiting its export of finished goods to third world countries, but rather it thinks about limiting immigrants from third world countries?

They preach openness of borders. But now certain political far right parties will rather see to a controlled and limited number of migration.

When you talk about protection of cultural identity, the western world says cultural identity doesn't help globalization, should this answer be limited to only third world countries ? Why is it that when third world nations immigrants move there they no longer think about globalization and liberalism..

France you mention are the face of European identity with Liberalism. That's why you see many blacks there. This is because that's essentially France's cultural ideology. That you are french is by orientation first before colour. This is different from racism on the other hand. That you look down on one race or don't approve of it doesn't mean you cannot be white french and look down on a black frenchman.
Self preservation is good, but is there any problem with the African man be it a Yoruba man or Zulu or Ashanti man living with his family in Europe and holding on to his African values in relation to his family. Or is it the Chinese or Indian man with his traditional values, or the Arab man with his Islamic values. this are simple values to relate and tolerate. And this is the beauty of a multicultural society. When does this multiculturalism become a problem, is it through the media propaganda we are witnessing these days about how bad migrants have now become.

The man just won't stop scoring and assisting in same game. I can understand your early concession but it is not eureka just yet even as likely as what you say is.
Hmm quite true. Nothing is certain.
But then again it looks like he has worked himself to top 5 for next year Ballon d'or.

You'd agree with me that his first half of the season stats are outstanding enough for that recognition. If an African player makes the top 5 Ballon d'or list -and for any other African player to possibly outdo him on that list then it must mean that that player had a personal outstanding season like Mo is having and must have won his team at least a major trophy.
Liverpool may slip or lose form at some point in the season. But they are more like to win the EPL with 10 points gap.

can’t beat 10-man Italy, lost woefully at home to Brazil, struggled against Cameroon in an Afcon final, abeg comot for road
That Italian team got to play in the world cup final. We were the closest to eliminating them. Sadly the inexperience of Eguavone cost us that match.

That Cameroonian team was the predecessor to the Egyptian team that dominated African football. That Cameroonian team had the likes of Patrick Mboma , Rigobert Song and young Eto'o. They were unstoppable and even when the Senegalese team of El Haj Diouf was at it's peak it couldn't beat the Cameroonian side. Not until 2004 before we were able to break that yoke. Remember who did the magic, JJ okocha with that wonderful freekick, and Kanu with that lovely , sexy penetrating through pass to Utaka

Brazil is always Brazil. In a friendly match to launch the 2003 newly built abuja stadium. Where we had an emerging talent in Ronaldinho. Don't forget they had just won the world cup a year earlier.

My God! I'm having goosebumps watching this. I mean most of them are not even Nigerians to say this. I sometimes worry that we are so patriotic here that it shrouds objectiveness. But hearing outsiders feel this way about Nigeria's true potential and strength if we qualify for a world cup is lovely . Because God knows if this group of boys get a good hand of a manager, he will craft out signs and wonders from them in the next world cup. Watch them at the next AFCON . All we need is another good manager because we got a team that will beat a Moroccan team on their home turf in the finals. This boys got experience.

I see that sparkles in Eguavone's eyes. And I have seen him looking confused lately. He can be timid. What we need is a coach with a decent amount of crazy sparkles to really tweak this team we got and we are gonna be world beaters.
I really pray we qualify for this world cup. I know it's so hard and tough judging by our current group position.

But then when we do qualify I'd remember this post again. And I really be grateful to God. Because the world cup isn't something to miss for the super eagles to miss twice.

Joezinho:
Your teammate won the Footballer of the Year award a year after you did. Yet, you haven’t sent him a public congratulatory message, even while being active online, posting as if you’re trying to show the world you’re present.

I know some may argue that you might have sent him a personal message, but not acknowledging this publicly comes across poorly and reflects poorly on your sportsmanship..

Gutter behavior.
I really think all is not well between both players. Perhaps one does better at masking his sentiment than the other. While the other may not know how to disguise at such.

No need for the fans to make a molehill out of such. So long as they have a working relationship for the national team they represent.

I want to ask if Ademola congratulated Osimhen last year openly? If he did so and the gesture is not returned then that's unfair. If he didn't and the gesture is mirrored back , that's ok.

I recall when both were leading the scorers chat in Seria A, Lookman had openly said he would catch up/surpass Osimhen in the top scorer race, but Osimhen will post a slightly cryptic message on Yoruba saying "iwofa lenu" I feel Osimhen's message didn't go down well for many neutrals like me who thought Osimhen shouldnt have said that if they didn't have that cordiality. Because I'm well familiar with yoruba customs and insult can be an integral parts of relationship.

Osimhen will end up as Seria A top scorer, league winner and best player. While after that incident Lookman couldn't score frequently as he had thought he would.

If Boniface won this. We know who will carry it on his head the most . It will be none other than Osimhen.

But since the "iwofa lenu" matter up to the Finidi George matter , up to what almost seemed like a shameful transfer saga. Osimhen has adjusted himself and I want to believe he is cool with Lookman but choosing not to post him is another miscalculation or wrong move. If Hakimi had won , chances are Osimhen will post to congratulate him for succeeding him as the African best, so why not Lookman?
