I am a Yoruba monkey!

Lagos and Cross River I understand. But Osun State ?!. What a ridiculous picture. That state is finished. They will die inside gbese.
Best thing is for Osun to change their name again so that the creditors will not know who to ask for money.

Ngokafor:
Only God knows what a State like Osun is doing with all the money she borrowed..inspite of the useless IGR she purpotedly generates,which is touted by on-line urchins to be bigger than the entire SE put together

Hate him or love him, PMB will shock his haters with a landslide victory in 2019 presidential election. He is still very popular and a very strong political force in the North and West

jayson87:
One of his laudable feat was the defeat of the loud mouth APC bigot called Fayemi, despite Fayemi having the support of Tinubu and all Yoruba Elders. Fayose to took him to the cleaners at the polls, Fayose understands the power of people politics and grassroot incorporation.

igbodefender:
I am very certain Omoleye Sowore is in Nairaland. You ask me why? I will tell you.

On a thread yesterday I made a comment and someone asked me how much I thought would be the right minimum wage for Nigerians, adding that their question was a serious one.

I gave my answer, only to see this announcement.

Well, nice one Mr Sowore, even though we are still campaigning for Buhari 2019, because he is the nearest route to Igbo Presidency in 2023.

We believe Igbo Presidency will fix Nigeria and give Igbos a greater sense of belonging in the Nigerian project.

As a result We advocate that Mr Sowore's voice be heard loud and clear in the hallowed halls of the Senate, advocating a better life for the Nigerian masses, and keeping the Executive on its toes.

Have they gone back to their keyboards after the fultile protest?

It is not compulsory to live in Lagos, London or Network..

I thought Finidi was rumoured to have been offered one of the youths jobs?

On Salisu, contrary to what peeps here are saying I trust him to deliver the goods.

A man that carried that very poor team all the way to the final needs commendation. Thank God there is an age restriction to this one so no imposing of Papa Alli, Osas Okoro and co on us.

What else can we do now but to support him.

All eyes are on the WC now. Let us face it. But after the world cup I suggest we revisit that youth players thread. The Olympic games are 2 years away meaning only players who would be 21 this year and less would be eligible. We need to focus on those players especially the ones with quality. Our comments here go places. Let us join Salisu and other youth coaches to unravel the talents that would wear our colors in the next youth competitions.

Just a quick one: Do you know Chidozie Awaziem, Victor Osimhen, Kingsley Michael, Taiwo Awoniyi, Musa Yahaya, Nura Abdulahi, Sincere Seth, Kelechi Nwakali, Samuel Chukwueze, Sadiq Umar, Ifeanyi Mathew, Steven Odey, Sunday Faleye, Moses Eneji, Ikouwem, Francis Uzoho, Maduka Okoye,and many more are all eligible to play in the next Olympics? We just need the right selection and that team would be explosive.

NFF Boss Backing Osimhen, Nwakalis, Ndidi, Iheanacho & Ebuehi To Be Picked For 2022 World cup

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/32465Ndidi.jpg


Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick is looking ahead to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
With the Super Eagles boasting one of the youngest squads amongst the 32 participating countries in Russia, Pinnick has predicted that the current squad will perform better in the next four years.
''It is not the number of merchandising, marketing or funds coming through sponsorship, it is the fact that we have a young team, we have a young team that can play two Nations Cup conveniently, we have a young team that can play two World Cups,'' said Pinnick to Channels Television
'' Look at Victor Osimhen, look at the Nwakalis, just look at those players, Tyronne, Brian lots of them, Kelechi and Ndidi. Look at the statistics, Nigeria is the youngest team going to this World Cup.

''I keep saying to my colleagues and we joke about it. That our team will be better prepared for the 2022 World Cup than this World Cup.

''I believe we are going to spring a surprise at this World Cup because there is one thing that counts for the Super Eagles right now, team spirit.''
According to Swiss-based independent study centre CIES Football Observatory, Super Eagles of Nigeria fielded the youngest team during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, with an average age of 24.9 years.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 125 days 4hours to go

Kai,Teslim Balogun,i did not watched him playing but read and heard a lot about him.On record he was the first Nigerian to play professional football with Peterborough and QPR in England.He was a leading scorer of Nigeria team known as UK tourist team captain by Dan Ayiam.

It was after UK tourist team tour of England that he signed a professional contract,very good striker according to history with powerful shot and good pace.There was this old fable that his shot ripped through keeper's stomach and came out at the back,just to tell you how popular he was and rated.

John Chiedozie remain one of the early Nigerian to play in Europe, he had his first professional contract with Leyton Orients in 1977 and played for clubs such as Notty county,Derby county and had a massive transfer of £375k to Tottenham Hotspur second to Justin Fashanu who was signed £1M and the first black player to be signed with a million pounds in the world.

He had nine appearanced for super eagles and scored two goals but find it difficult to dislodged Segun Odegbami who was a great winger and later Benjamen Nzeakor,Uwem Ekarika and Wole Odegbami to contend with but very talented winger.

John Chiedozie was one of the early Nigerians in English league cos at at that time we have Justin Fashanu Notwich and Nottingham Forest,John Fashanu Wimbledon and Asyon Villa,Remi Moses Manchester united,John Salako Crystal palace and Reuben Agboola Swansea.

He was a face of LIFEBUOYS SOAP in the 80s and was very popular on TV in one of LIFEBUOYS soap advertisement,conferred with order of Niger(OON)by ex President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Mudashiru Gbolahan Lawal named Mercurial by great sports commentator Ernest Okonkwo,he had his football career with Shooting Stars,Stationary stores,Abiola Babes and retired in his favorite Shooting Stars in 1991.

Muda Lawal had 86 caps and scored 12 goals as DM/CM for Eagles.He appeared in five Afcon namely 76,78,80,82 and 84.He was member of 1980 winning Afcon team captain by Christian Chuckwu.

Muda Lawal remain one of the best midfield player to come out of Africa especially Nigeria and till today it is an arguments who was better between him and Sunday Olishe but those who watched both always saying Muda Lawal was better but when we talked of modern day midfielder Olishe nick it.He was named Africa football ambassador by Nigeria government for his great contribution to the game and highly recognised by CAF.

Most of Nigerians midfielders in the 80s looked up to Lawal for inspiration.I remember Ademola Adeshina comprehensive interview on Nigeria football,he said Muda Lawal was the best midfielder to come out of Africa.He said when he got his first invitation to eagles through coach Father Tiko.He narrated how Father Tiko called him(Adeshina) and Muda Lawal to his room and said "look Muda i called this guy(Adeshina)to camp to learn from you not to displace you".As at that time most midfielders find it difficult to bench Muda cos he was a genius.

Muda Lawal die at the aged of 37 but was never benched in eagles colour through out his career than spanned 11 years.He remain one of the humblest Eagles player that listened to young Stephen Keshi 22 years at Afcon 84 when Onigbinde surprisedly named Keshi as captain.

On comparison with present Eagles,well am seeing Ndidi Wifred humble Muda Lawal and Sunday Olishe soon if he can maintain the tempo of his game and be disciplined but for now he has Muda Lawal's record to beat.
