yes it is the reason Nigeria is the way it is but Nigeria's case is different partially because in Nigeria's case every ethnic nation has free access to move into another ethnic nation territory without border checks because there are no borders and ethnic nations who did not grow their indigenous ethnic economies just "flee" into another ethnic nation that grew their own ethnic economies even though we use the same currency..

if each ethnic nation stays put in their territory then Nigeria won't be the way it is today..

In Nigeria, we largely stay put where we are oo
Kano is mostly hausa dominated, same for the West, East and other geographic regions.

The point is that even if we move around as we do to a certain degree, I prefer homogeneous societies because of the cohesion that it gives. Inikpi the beloved daughter of Attah igala was sacrificed as a guarantee for victory demanded by the gods when Jukum people attacked my people.


I ask myself will our Attah had done that if we were a mixed multitude? He will not. He will most likely act the way we do today - as in shift the responsibility to others.


I hate DEI oo. I really hate it. It destroys nations.. It's worse than atomic bomb.

You can't understand until you truly live among them bruv. Humans are migratory and no one should feel apologetic about advancing their human potential wherever they found themselves, the same Europeans migrated years back to South Africa and all over Africa to seek the same opportunities blacks are now seeking in the West same thing they did in North America, Australia, and others. So they took multiculturalism to other places including here in Nigeria and they even divided Africa among themselves back then so how has it become now a sin to have the same in Europe?

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.

been born in Wes:tern nations' or carrying Wes:tern nations' passports does not make the person ethnicity to become European or scot or english or welsh or german or italian e.t.c..

it is not subjective.. ethnicity is very important..

Ese. This is my view. It's this idea that nationality is determined by citizenry that turned the French team into a mash up of black and white. In fact the whites are now on the margins of the French team. I keep asking myself how is Saka an English man, how is Kante a Frenchman? Having one, two, three or four blacks in the team, that's fine but to have almost the whole team black, is something I find jarring.

codemaniacs:
E:urope have to put their people first, it is not marginalization for them to put their people first..

African coaches and players should come back home and open football clubs and academies... the African coaches are not as rich as the players so the coaches should not be the ones with the responsibility of building academies..

let African coaches and players and wealthy Africans work together and build academies and football clubs and use their knowledge to create jobs in the sports industry in African countries.

I don't understand how black people cry for space in white man land and when they don't get it, they start crying racism all over the place. I can understand if its America because of their peculiar history but Europe, mbanu. European people - just like any other people - owe themselves a duty to put their people first and even last.

That's how Larry Madowo, the Kenyan CNN reporter went to Argentina and started complaining that he did not see any black man. Haaaa so have you seen other races complain of not seeing their people in Africa? Where did the idea come from that black or brown or white or yellow people belong just about anywhere on earth?

If there's one thing I hate, it's DEI, multiculturalism and every other woke nonsense that panders to the idea of making homogeneous societies less homogenous. I look at the present French team and I feel sorry for the French people.

Look at England. They basically have tribes now: black tribes, brown tribes, Muslim tribes (I have nothing against Muslims, I'm just stating a fact and England is a Christian country). They have become a mixed people.

And that signifies that they are going down. Because I feel one of the reasons why Nigeria is the way it is, is because of the mix of over 300 ethnic groups. It's literally babel. So if Europeans allow themselves to be bludgeoned and surrender to DEI, they will become babel.

humility33:
Sorry not to make an exception because they're some like Seyi that developed himself and now working with Chelsea FC

The question how many of them have obtained the required license to make them relevant and at least push for this jobs?

Mikel that is a former Chelsea legend is busy doing podcast Seyi that never played for Chelsea got a job there before Mikel. That's because he developed himself.

The last time a Nigeria was coaching the US under 20 team, that applied for the super eagles job

This issue of lashing our ex - Internationals appears forced to me. They have the choice to go into coaching or not. Globally sef it's even very few players that go into coaching and this player to coach transition picked up in the generation of players that straddled the 90s and 2000s. In that generation, only few like Ancellotti, Rijkaard, Vialli, Conte, Machini, Zola, Deschamps, Vierra, Gaurdiola, Zidane, Simone, Inzaghi, Klopp are recognizable names in the world of coaching. The vast majority are just enjoying their retirement just as most of our ex internationals.

We cannot hold them by the scruff of the neck and demand that they must become coaches as a mark of self development and hard work.

Odunayaw:
We must not forget to take keg of water for every match o

Ki gobe ma lọ chelle

Given our comical nature, I presume that if we win matches under Chelle pouring water on his head will form part of the celebratory rituals

Goke7:
I will help you say it, may tiki-taka perish

😂😂 Forever

elyte89:
What do u think about Eric chelle?

😂😂😂 Na jazz? Same question has been on my mind.

humility33:
Oga stop all this

Amunike is not fit for the super eagles job

Let him prove himself somewhere even now at Heartland where is he on the league table?

Abeg shift with your amunike advocating

Ehen. What do you think about Chelle?

elyte89:
Heard chelle is looking at anjorin in empoli ;hopefully against Rwanda 🇷🇼.if true ,dis is a good news ,it shows he has. Been scouting our team and he knows d dept to fortify

If I heard him correctly, he said during the unveiling yesterday that he watches every SE match. That he followed our matches in France 98.

Goke7:
The kind of goals these players even score in the days where dangerous tackles were a norm you hardly can see with the eagles of these current era.

I watched some 90s football clips yesterday. See shot upon shot. From outside 18 oo. Chai I feel like saying it shall not be well with Guardiola but I won't say it.

Napoleon55:
Uncle Sege is very skillful I must confess.
The video clip I watched he was even more mesmerizing.

When I update my list,I will see where I can put him.

If I touch that list na 5 or at most 10 names go dey there

villagereporter:

One chill Goldberg for you this sunny afternoon I would have bought it sùgbón emilokan has rendered me jobless

Gbewa

zicky:
😂 you are right. But for Finidi I was against heis appointment from the start, his speech just added to my conviction. I love Enyimba as a club so I do watch some of their matches and what I saw with Finidi being at the helm of affairs I knew he wasn't ready for SE job.

He was not ready at all. Total lack of confidence.

AndSunGorilla:
Can't remember why his career was shortlived though. Ogbeche was another skillful player. Bartho made à name for himself unfortunately he also didn't last long.

That Ogbeche sangalo against Paraguay in the friendly we played.

minfelix:
no, Rohr’s first match was a 1-0 win against Tanzania 🇹🇿, have you forgotten that Iheanacho’s goalazzooo in that dead rubber afcon qualifiers

.
I mean WCQ. His first was against Zambia. We won 2-1. Iwobi and Iheanacho scored and Carl Ikeme pulled several saves to keep us afloat.

zicky:
After many years of following the SEs, all this speeches doesn't move me, I just want to see him do the talking on the pitch.
Im neither for nor against his appointment, just want to see our SE playing good football and winning games. I wish him all the best.

Speech might be commonplace but it is very important. It was from his speech that I began to fear for Finidi. In the beginning was the word! After Rohr breezily qualified us for Russia 2018, his speech became diffident and full of excuses.

If the word is not right, everything is likely to go wrong. But I understand that you want action to speak louder than voice.

But like Bishop Fulton Sheen once wrote: speech is the summation of a soul:what it was, what it is and what it will be.

I wish Chelle all the best.

elyte89:
No worry na , normally na my official statement you for Dey read today if not 4 my lawyer wey no do well 🥹

Hmmmm okay na. Job that nearly gave me bp. See Oga majoribanks pursued your job till today, we have not heard from him.

Joebie:
I like the passion and belief. Looks like a guy that will not give excuses like "we are a young team' etc. the likes of Rohr, Peseiro had a "humble" approach. This is a breath of fresh air and we want to see it on Matchday one.

I just pray for luck. If he wins his match against Rwanda, that's the omen I'd be looking out for. When Rohr was appointed, his first match away was against Zambia. He defeated them 2-1. That victory set him up so nicely. Chelle needs that kinda charm.

charlesemeka85:
Hwfa Tonga coaching job contact wey I give u since last year?😏

😂😂😂 This man

Philosopher1979:
He has the westerhoof vibes

You too like scope. The man do use sweet mouth collobi this one 🤣🤣🤣. You don fall yakata

semid4lyfe:
Pick one target for the Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle

1. World Cup Qualification
2. Win AFCON
3. World Cup Quarter Final
4. Win CHAN 2025

Which would you choose and why?

World cup oo. Jara Afcon

Samueltemi337:
Why are you not saying same for Tarila Okoronwanta who Boniface already has more caps than

I didn't even see that one's name. That's to tell you how insignificant he is.

Napoleon55:
Chidera Ejike is definitely among the top 20 if not the top 10,I totally forgot,I should replace Friday Ekpo with him.

Apart from Segun Odegbami, Sam Okwaraji,Tarila Okoronwanta and Henry Nwosu,
I watched the rest of the players,
Tijani Babangida, Victor Moses and Wilson Oruma are definitely better dribblers than some of the players but I don't think they can replace the names on the list based on skills.

So which four names do you think should be replaced with Odegbami, Okwaraji,Okoronwanta and Nwosu?

Chidera Ejuke and Boniface have no place on that list. How many caps has Ejuke and Boniface to the point of being in any list at all. Boniface? Dribble? Which match? Abeg ooo. Remove him name sharperly. He's not in any way worthy of mention as far as Super Eagles is concerned.

elyte89:
Bro d only reason we might be patient with him is if and only if he wins d game against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼…cos I c no reason y we shld stick with him further Dan dt,na to scatter everything,arrest d nff president join ..his fate is tied to dt World Cup qualifiers hence d short term contract

I pray he win those matches so we can have reason to be patient with him. The truth is that patience is tied to results. I was patient with Boniface but not anymore. Not necessarily because he hasn't scored but because he's totally off.

Kog45:
The dribblers are Okocha,Etim Esin,Segun Odegbami and James Obiora....Skills I gave it to Samson Siasia and Kanu Nwankwo

Thank you baba. I watched a clip of all Kanu's 44 goals for Arsenal. I was stunned. Between Kanu and Okocha, I'd say Okocha is my favorite but as far as skill is concerned, he's more skillful than Okocha.

Joebie:
Thats saying things as it trully is. Most of what i see is PR stunts. If you support a specific candidate, say why but dont and sugar salt and all kind of spices.

I'm actually okay with Chelle if we are going to be patient with him.

Your last line is the main issue. Can we be patient? Nigerians are typically an impatient people always wanting quick fixes and quick results.

Tessyy1701:
If its by the love for SE, Elyte name would have been in the mix

I can testify that no coach loves SE more than my ex client. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the funds to actualize his dreams.

Joebie:
If we are truly patriotic and we belive our nation is a big nation at least in football then we should demand someone befitting. We can't watch and see other African nations employ proven coaches yet we say we can't afford it. Can we truly not afford proven coaches, put together a long term plan etc? Aren't we Nigeria?

Modified

They tell you they don't have money and we suck it in like a simp. Whereas people are sharing salary.

Someone befitting guarantees nothing. It only gives comfort. Like you said earlier, only results matter.

Napoleon55:
Okocha is unarguably the Nigeria's most skillful player of all time.

Obodo and Yahaya probably might be more skill than King Kanu,but let me just rank him higher on this list.

Top 10 Nigeria most skillful players:

1.Jay Jay Okocha
2.Kanu Nwakwor
3.Christien Obodo
4.Musa Yahaya
5.John Utaka
6.Rabiu Ibrahim
7.Chidi Ordia
8.Etim Esim
9.Samson Siasia
10.Osaze Odemwingie

Did not watch Etim,but made the list for his popularity.
Musa Yahaya and Rabiu Ibrahim might not have made it to super eagles, but they were very skillful.

Completing the top 15,
In no particular order are:

Samuel Chukwueze
Victor Boniface
Solomon Okoronkwo
Pius Ikedia
Chinedu Ogbuke

The list excludes players from early '90s down

Best dribbler, that is Okocha but as far as skill is concerned Kanu tops

Goke7:
Then we should have continued with Finidi and take risk cos we saw some beautiful football too

Nothing to redeem Finidi. He was an unmitigated disaster.

elyte89:
Truidstarr and goke ,no need to argue ,I knw u guys were really disappointed as I wasn’t given the job ;same as many out dere..but nevertheless,lets join hands to support chelle..my time is coming too .cheers 😎
