TheSuperNerd: *Home again?* *Why are the lights still out? where is everyone?*
*walks in with a torchlight and goes to nearest switch to turn on the lights*
First of all, before anything else, I just wanna apologise to the family of this thread for my long absence no thanks to the big issue of last time. Truth is, I should have made my return after we beat ARGENTINA in that top class friendly but I couldn't because I was so caught up in the business end of my scholarship studies for the year ending period of 2017. Aside that also, I was so locked up in some project plans and some more engagements. I just couldn't make out time for Socials anymore.
Thing is, I'm pass that dark issue now and I am back to say "It was a pleasure walking with several of you in 2017, I know the value of life and what it means to wake up everyday and still be alive. It is a miracle and a Joy that before I left back then, I had not witnessed the death of any one member. But from a quick scan backwards on this thread, I understand that lovely folks like Sir TheGoodJoe and one more moniker (was it Sir Do4LuV14? Please forgive me, I am not sure) lost their fathers. Please accept my condolences even though they come very late. And Sir TheGoodJoe, I am sorry that you had to go through that and I was not even around. I am sure your father was already proud of the fantastic, super intelligent and awesome man you have become and are still growing into. It is well Sir. And to the other fellow who witnessed same loss, I have no true words to say but it is well. Be strong. Make him smile even in his sleep with how you live and how you run this race called life. Just make him proud. All is well."
So yeah, to some who may be shocked to read my comments, I say, deal with it *Winks* *smiles* *rubs palms*
Sir Joseph1013, I got your mentions Sir. Please take very good care of you outside the shores of Nigeria, wherever you are. Without your threads discovered in 2015 by me via google, I would not be on NL. Thanks for your mentions and for somehow not judging me when I do get really pissed at some happenings here. When I walked in here, I address every one by the title of Sir because where I come from, it is a mark of respect not minding if I may be addressing my junior or senior. Well, how do I know? I am 25 now... lol To think I was 23 when I walked in on NL... cool memories.
Chief Icon4s, at least I told you something before. I told you that in the end, The passion and drive for the GWG won't keep me away for so long. But I really needed that break. But it is good to still see you and some beautiful others still digging it strong here on NL's best thread.
Sir Mujtahida, I got your mention(s) too. Thy poetic ingenuity mixed with the knowledge of one so versed in the words amd dynamics of history and world affairs make you one to always behold in writings. I told you when you walked in here that I could spot already thy poetic magnificence. Well, now that is super obvious to all. You nicknamed me VicMo of the thread one time. But with my absence and using Sir Komekn's analysis of a few months being like a year in football, then I wonder if such nickname still holds true.
Sir Joebie, My Joebie... Where is Madam? Gosh what is her moniker again? I call her the "My Joebie" Moniker. The ladies' man. Happy new year Sir. Read earlier this morning where you compared me to Vincent Enyeama.... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... and Sir Kennysville was like, "You never see anything" loooollll
You guys are fucking crazy I swear! Hahahahahahahahaha.... Me I no be Enyeama oooooo. For me, the whole is more important than the glory of one. I hope Enyeama can understand that. But somehow, when I was away, I had a hunch that soon someone may compare my absence to Enyeama's matter. Chaaaiiiiii... plssss oooo we are not on the same page.
To Safarigirl, NLSports' first lady. An Amazon in the midst of Men. Happy to see you alive and kicking well in 2018 too. Remember what I told you when I first met you? Okkkkaayyyy.. don't worry, that's for the closet.
To another beautiful mind on here... Maybe it is because his comments are not a as regular judging by what I have read in the past few pages this morning. Sir BascoVanVeli still remains of the most favorite persons I always wanna see comment. Funny how going by nominations I am seeing now that many do not seem to remember that BascoVanVeli is a champion for he homebased. Infact, one of the thread's undercard debate matches is most times between The amiable and Legendary Sir Tbaba1234 and Sir BascoVanVeli (Master of the sarcastic )
I just dey look una.
Sir Tbaba1234, Tbaba12345, should I add 6 & 7? Happy new year to you too. Still dropping those one or two lines as ever huh? This legend is super consistent.
My Happy new year messages go to you all.... I could write on each and everyone here. But please understand why some just have to get very special mentions.
Sir Terzurum5, Creator of NL's finest sports thread.
Sir Orkpekyandega, Where have you guys hidden this dude?
Sir Icon79, Sir, I think you Berra add "Not Icon4s" to your moniker to "dis-confuse" the newbies and some others still left on limbo on who is who between you two. looooll. Calls me nerdie. Hahahahahahahahaha...
Sir Omanbala1, Gosh... I just saw your post on that little thread of mine. Well, thing is, I have been away. I had a very very busy end to 2017 with all I was engaged with. And it was for the greater good of My Life Vision and all. But I just could not stay away from spending the new year with you guys after missing Christmas and after missing The Argentina game which was the perfect opportunity for me to nail the coffins of some negative monikers here always pulling the team down.
Sir Forgiveness, You ehn!!!! If I catch you ehn! See Baba mi.. Egbon Sir... Berra go borrow vest from Batman oooo because Ilẹ ti malu kan ko ni ibamu fun oju-ẹja ti ẹja.
Happy new year Sir Forgiveness . Missed you like kilode... Hahahahahahahahaha
Happy new year to you all.....
The Ever optimistic AIG07, The Prophetic Napoleon55, The Lovely and caring Madam Confun, The Ever Critical Sir Goldfish80 (one time he really hoped Mbappe played for Cameroon so that we may be sent to the cleaners! looollll... yes he is ever critical but maybe na him way of gauging against unforseen heartbreaks. But he and his super critical crew should always learn to give credits when our boys actually rise up to the occasion. Biaaaa Sir Goldfish80, this 2018 ehn, Make I no talk ), ehen uhmmm.... still on happy new year roll call....
Happy new year to....
The guy always playing the role of my antagonist... Mickael2 Lol, humans sef , the one and only Elder Sir Kog45 (One of the guardians of the lost-but-found classified trolls of Nigeria's Football history), the One called SoetanOreoluwa (I no go lie, your name hard me first time I see am..), the ever super critical master of The borough club located with headquarters in London and branches scattered all over UK, Sir Komekn himself
Happy new year also to.....
Sirs: Dr.Likita (I thought I saw "m" before "f"? :-/), Chrismario, Chriskels, Jihday, Do4Luv14, Jarus (So the big guy finally came here... lol. Good to see he is also "very critical." Lol), Mikron, Kennysville, Certitude, Taliban, Elyte89 (funny dude! Wetin be your own sef? Almost every mention from you is "I hope this won't turn out like TheSupernerd scenario." Abi you he history police? ), Maidaboi (This beautiful guy. Where are you? I've missed you) etc etc (Please, I have been away for long, recalling all monikers here is a big ask... gosh! plsss pardon me if I never mention your name),
Madams: Eseose9 (a ghost reader in 2017, biaaa upgrade in 2018 ooooo), and all female ghost readers like her.
And a big shout out to the all members of the Notorious Gang of silence upholding the flags and etiquettes of Silence and Stealth. #TheSilentCrew Una well done! Happy new year to una. But this year some of una must upgrade oooo. Haba! Silent crew for 15 years?? Nooooooo we cannot take this!
From TheSupernerd, loved by some, hated by some, and just not gotten/understood by a few others. To most, he is just TheSupernerd.
Choose love over hate. It makes you live longer. Happy new year to you all. I know there are a few here who would have love to hear my analysis on how I would have broken down the physics and magnificent angles to the execution of Iheanacho's freekick against World Class Argentina. Hey! I know okay. Deny it but I know
But in all.... what is this thread about? It is for the progression and the Glory of Nigerian football through all the seasons of the good, the bad and the ugly leading up to the transition from the maggot/caterpillar stage to the stage of the beautiful butterfly.
We are a team in evolution and we are young and threatening. I believe in this team and I know what our teamwork is capable of producing. So you can keep castigating and you can keep defending your favorite players but what truly matters is that this team grows into a formidably powerful force as a team.
The Super Eagles gave me cause to smile a lot last year and in Russia, I dare say you all (except a few) will be in for a shocker on what this team will go on to achieve. I just pray we maintain our rise and positive transformation.
It is finally here. The year of the big baptism of Nigeria's next golden generation.
Happy new year once again.
*And no apologies for the long essay. I will never change*
welcome back bro this year will be a blessing to Nigeria in Jesus Christ name
hardeycute: You don't have facts to dispute him rather you termed the question foolish. Who is the unreasonable one here?
Apart from M.derby,Bournemouth and an F.A cup games,your MCM is always on the field to run against tired legs and be at the right place to rebound or tap in(commendable for good positioning)
FOA Your MCM is a age cheat!He can't hold up play,plays side and back passes,no risks and adventures,someone once said he palys 'MAJEKOBAJE' football.Your MCM is undecided about his position.
Nairaland pundits you know?The analysts of the Nigeria unProfessional league?or Your campus journals? It is only a mumu that is given a job to prevent the team from relegation would want to experiment with a player that he is not confident about his ability or because a certain fan girl wants to see him play You MCM stats does not represent his overall play and ability and it is senseless to degrade and disrespect a reasonable and innocent question because it doesn't fit your fûc**ng narrative
Humility017: good for him.... he is fast becoming a German international... i watched serenren bazee play on YouTube yesterday...I think rohr should quickly look for ways to cap tie him...he has iwobi kind of skills and techniques
If you read that Croatian forum posts, they have Ayo written all over them - all the way down to his 10 pointers. And I am willing to make a bet that it's him. He does that all the time .... anytime we're in a tournament, he would dig up the forums of our opponents and go there to taunt them.
Icon79: I think I can guess whom the SuperEagles person is: based on his style of writing and the method of argument. Those of you who have been to the Cyber Eagles forum (not sure whether it still exists), you might recall a guy we call "AyoAkinfe". I can put my money that the SuperEagles poster is the same AyoAkinfe guy. The writing style and the argumentative circular reasoning ... down to the 10 pointers (we used to call Ayo Mister 10 Pointer) all betrayed him on that post.
O pari
yes it still exists some even call him OGN reporter
Joebie: I had already made my opinion known. I voted Victor Moses because he was the better player in season 16/17. Salah is the better player for 2017 calendar year IMO.
So when you say he deserved it from what angle are you speaking?
goldfish80: Exactly, trust Nigerians. If Ebuehi fumbles, God forbid. The manner Nigerians will turn on him will make you wonder if it wasn't the same Nigerians who are loosing their minds after his Argentina cameo. Our people are so fickle and very forgetful. The harsh weather conditions in the sub Sahara sometimes affect our emotions, in my opinion.
Joebie: A moniker told me It should be based on 16/17 season. But hey rules don’t apply when people vote. I think Moses was the better player in 16/17 season. In fact I voted for him for that reason. But hey Mo has been firing all cylinders even after the shortlist was announced. That will surely sway some voters. I think Salah is the better player for this calendar year. And to your point we are actually the most biased and sentimental. I strongly feel Mo won beacaiae Egyptians (football fans or not) voted for him overwhelmingly. He is revered in that country.
goldfish80: Lol.. I voted Salah. I'm neither sentimental Chelsea, Liverpool nor Arsenal Brit. I'm just an unbiased bystander who believes Mo deserved the crown. Better luck next time to Vic.
only in nigeria we have unbiased non sentimental people if we swap there country moses would have won cause Egypt will support there own
Let us not harbour any personal vendetta against the boy or any of those boys that latter resended on their decision to play for us. After all, Vicmo also shunned us many times before but now he is our best player.
I rate Iorfa and Tiago Ilori highly than Felix Ukpobai.
and you worth a hut LOL On a serious note if mbappe is worth £100m don't you think onyekuru is worth £50m? OR don't you think he is halve good as mbappe? Hahahaha see them say i am hyping him now
MetalJigsaw: Henry Onyekuru increased his goal tally to 9 goals in the Belgian league today as they unfortunately lost at home to Royal Charleroy. 1-3 was the score line.
Onyekuru is now currently the leading goalscorer in the league as a result of his goal tonight for KRC Anderlecht.
if we talk now they will say we are hyping the boy this boy is worth £60m take it or leave it
nelszx: Reading news from ANS and OGN can be annoying with their God knows from where terms they use in describing a player. "New Mikel", "Nigerian Neymar", "New Messi", "New Okocha" players just to make news.
they have two Nigerian players they call neymar one is called "Nigerian Neymar" the other is called "Norwaygien(spell?) Neymar" really annoying
ChrisKels: Wow!!! Now this is the Forgiveness we av all been yearning for. See how polite, humble, rational and mature you dropped your opinion unlike your usual taunting to get people riled up. I must give you credit for this improvement and I hope this ur new version lasts longer here.
I'm sorry for the harsh words and derogatory remarks i aimed at you few pages back.
The new you is highly welcomed and will be highly respected by me.
Kog45: Mujtahida you belong to a class here so don't join all these roforofo fight,leave them to sort their issues out.
Pls let's talk football, anybody that want 11 Yorubas or 11 Igbos in the XI should go ahead,there is no short cut in football cos players were always expose.
I can tell you we have some bleeping tribal guys here but you just need maturity to get along.If you have third eyes you w know them,they hide it but they are real sectional.
I hope this thread w not be turned to political thread were you hear zombie, wailers,afonja,ipobs.This is football thread and we are all here for a purpose, the growth of super eagles.
Let me tell you basic fact a TRIBAL man we always identify tribalism, so if they like they should keep on mentioning Kunle,Gbenga,Abiodun, Bola etc or Ebere,Chukwu,Chidi, Chukwudi etc the best w always play for eagles.
Icon4s said he has learnt to ignore comments that w not yield any result than for one to make a statement out of annoyance that one w be regretting later.
Petrobas was force to make a statement you HATE IGBO cos he cannot ignored, better for us to learn how to ignore and move on.
Let me tell you basic fact about me if i quote you and I see that you are not the type i don't quote again. If am wrong i apologize immediately, am not here to win trophy but to share ideas and learn.
Forgiveness is free to say anything as far he didn't disobey the rules of the thread,the best if you cannot have healthy arguments with him you move on.Let him name any player it's his opinion he can't force them on Rohr and is free to criticise him,nobody business.
Remember have come here several time to analyze factors that can be responsible for players invitations and you make your own contribution, so what is big deal in what Forgiveness is saying regards player invitation.
I have some monikers i take delight in having discussion with regularly,some very rear,some i don't quote cos it w end in insult.If i quote and i noticed our discussion is losing basic respect i cut off i can even say am sorry or OK just to end it.
Mujtahida,Jobie, tbaba1013,Junnyake,four of you belong to a class here if you don't know and you guys are too big for this distraction cos we source a lot from you.
The fact remains FOOTBALL belongs to the IGBOS no debate on it,any tribe feel marginalised w just be wasting their time.

Joebie: 5 STORIES FOR NOV. 21, 2017 1. Golden Eaglets (2015 Class) forward, Orji Okonkwo pulled Bologna level with a header in the 74th minute to help them seal an away win at Verona. Final Scores: 2-3
2. OGN reports that Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr is set to hand Joel Obi a recall to the Super Eagles for March friendlies. 3. Speculations that Kevin Akpoguma has already turned down Nigeria is premature. The former German U21 captain revealed his connection with Nigeria in an interview conducted by FIFA back in 2015. The player attributes his athleticism and his social nature to his Nigerian heritage, and has even travelled twice to Nigeria as his grandparents reside in Benin City. His decision will be made known soon as Rohr is expected to put a call to the 22 year old defender soon. Akpoguma can play all positions in the defense-line. 4. Emem Eduok was adjudged the MOTM with a rating of 8.24, courtesy of statistical football website, WhoScored. Emem got rave reviews after scoring Kasimpasa's winning goal away to Karabukspor. The one-cap Super Eagles forward had 3 shots on target out of an attempted four. He made 2 successful tackles and won an aerial duel. He completed 23 passes out of 29 attempted, and had a total of 57 touches for the over 90 minutes he spent on the pitch. Compatriot, Kenneth Omeruo had a WhoScored rating of 7.79 for keeping the opponent quiet all encounter. 5. If you don't already know, former Hansa Rostock forward, Victor Agali, has been appointed by Gernot Rohr as an official scout.
orji okonkwo don overtake victor osimhen see life
Emem Eduok that guy that score against ghana in uyo first match

When I walked in here, I address every one by the title of Sir because where I come from, it is a mark of respect not minding if I may be addressing my junior or senior. Well, how do I know? I am 25 now... lol To think I was 23 when I walked in on NL... cool memories.
