Those same guys who beat Brazil in 1996 lost to Togo in the last game before that Atlanta 96 tourney. Nigeria also used to struggle to qualify for World cup and African nations cup then, infact they missed 2006 world cup to Angola, they almost where looking like they could missed 2002 world cup to George weah Liberia until the final qualifier game. The 2002 team was disbanded as they lost to Senegal that played with 10 men for most part of the game in the African nation cup Semis. The records and stats will show that what you feel and reality are not necessarily the same. Most African football teams have also stepped up their quality than it used to be some 20-30 years ago when compared with the Nigerian team. The disparity of experience foreign based players amongst Nigerian team and many other African teams is narrowed.

This current set of SE Players came second at the last african nations cup and have not really been at any other major tourney apart from that. It is the reason i am pained we won't be at 2026 world cup just like we missed 2022 world cup. The current SE players are just a bunch of average and few exceptional players which was not necessarily different from what we had in those years. I bet we probably have it better now in terms of quality individual players , what i believe is worse now is the quality of playing as a team, the SE are quite below average as a team, it shows in most of their games, they are not team centric and the understanding amongst themselves is weak. The turnover in the SE team is higher than necessary is a big reason. In today's match, i see no reason why a first timer in the team like Osho should be starting a game, that is pure folly from the coaching crew. I see you are flowery with the quality of the old team, that is what Nostalgia does. It elevates the value of a thing beyond the true market value.

Is our standings that bad ? … that we can’t qualify for the 2026 World Cup?…they have only played 4 times…there are 6 more times to play … as long as they win at least 5 out of 6 of the remaining matches

chinchum:
Not necessarily true, that is the reason why i said nostalgia is deceptive.

We create an idolised version of legends in the very old players and begin to downplay their failings. If someone is presented with stats. like Kanu Nwankwo was in like 5 African nations cup and 2 worldcups, but did not have a single goal they will almost argue because it deviates from the image they have of him on their head.

Kanu was hardly playing striker roles tho … he was more of an assist king … that’s why he was recognized twice as African best

Ten06:

Quelme:

City ...it isn't funny anymore. Liverpool is running away with the title

That was how it looked like last season … Liverpool were topping for almost 2 months

Kobojunkie:
So, a vice president is to collect salary without any work to show for all that money and time spent occupying that seat?

The way you are attacking him .. one would think he was the President and Buhari who makes most of the Decisions the vice

Kobojunkie:
You dey mind am? Those are 8 solid years this man could have spent working on planing and implementation a National Food bank and Food Voucher system which would have come in handy with the announcement that the Subsidy had been removed. But he did none of that and now pretends he can come lecture Nigerians on what exactly?

lol … I didn’t know Osinbajo was the president

ofwest47:
The so-called English Premier league are sub standard to the European league operations systems.

lol because of this loss? … they have had a team in the ECL semi final or final in the last 4 seasons

Lithiumite:
This would have been the faith of the naira if tinubu hadn't taken those hard decisions.

You spend more than you earn .
You are overtly dependent on imports with minimal export.

Nigeria would have been bankrupt by 2027

Story… na now he know say Naija need to take hard decisions… when he disrupted the Jonathan administration with protests … he didn’t know then

[quote author= post=132718944]South Africa na your mate
Do you know how many Nigerians dey go there go hustle?
Thousands upon thousands.
Google is your friend,
Go check how much is 1 rand to naira.[/quote]The way you are mentioning the thousands … one wud think Nigerians living there are up to 5 million … not knowing they are not even up to 30k

ednut1:
Nawa. But let’s be honest here if a Nigerian with South Africa origin was found to have used fake documents to get Nigerian citizenship. Same treatment would be meted on her.

Nonsense… they shud go and attack the Mozambican woman … not chidinma

fnep2smooth:
That is why education is the key..... The almajiri boys are not educated and can't have a logical thinking of what they are doing during the protest. The northerners brought this upon themselves.

But the president should have known that these children are not that wise to know what they are doing.

lol same Almajiri used in winning elections

RandDigital:
Comment on things you know about. They're being investigated for identity fraud.

Even it were to be true that her mum committed fraud .. why is none of you attacking her mum who is from moz , that commited the alleged crime?.. Did chidimma participate in the alleged fraud when she was an infant?… you can see why everyone else who thinks with their head knows it’s just your normal pure hatred for other Africans unfortunately

Pochettino:
We women are for sale to the highest bidder

Just imagine women that claim to be the prize jostling to be a rich man's 6th wife and others are waiting to join too.

lol … you have been lied to all along … Men are the Price

thesicilian:
Nice one.
But you can support African movie industry from anywhere in the world.
Except this is an attempt to prevent being the next R. Kelly and Diddy.

Did u ever hear Idris doing any shit ?

blacknp:
The greatest advocate of the New Testament was Saul the Persecutor turned Paul the Advocate, Just hope in fear that Tinubu will not employ him, which is impossible, his boss Jonathan hasn’t asked Tinubu, or may have already, he has to wait, there are others in line b4 him, but definitely something will enter his hand.

No permanent enemies in politics, Tinubu needs everyone on his side to win the 2027 election, na 2nd term people dey chop money pass, not your first term.

If Nyesom Wike can work for an APC Government, Reno is a no brainer, it is inevitable.

Obviously… I wish more pain and hardship on the foolish Nigerian people allowing these politicians to take them on a ride

godofuck231:
its clear they want a world war , and the want to provoke the beast and blame the coming of the beast

lol which countries are the Beasts in this instance ?

uunwanaobong3:
ARSENAL WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE TOP.


THEY ARE A MEDIOCRE TEAM AND A LAUGHING STOCK TO SERIOUS TEAMS

Are you an arsenal fan ?

uunwanaobong3:
ARSENAL WILL NEVER WIN EPL TITILE.. NO BE ARTETA AGAIN?

INFACT IT EASY FOR TEN HAG TO WIN EPL THAN ARSENAL.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, MANCITY WILL MAKE IT 5 TITLE ON A ROW..... 5 PEAT IS LOADING.


MY ADVICE TO ARSENAL:
IT IS NOT BY USING ALL YOUR STRENGTH AND ENERGY TO PARK MOURINHO'S BUS IN ORDER TO PLAY MANCITY DRAWS BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SMALL TEAMS, YOU LOST.

3 POINTS VS MANCITY IS THE SAME AS 3 POINTS VS BOURNEMOUTH.
IF YOU WANT TO WIN LEAGUE, YOU MUST BEAT EVERYONE, BIG OR SMALL ALIKE.



Arsenal is a failure and will always remain a failure...... MOURINHO describe them better "SPECIALIST IN FAILURE"

E don do eee… them lose one game… epistle don start .. are they supposed to win all their matches ?

DeLaRue:
In the future, people will look back to a time when we had a particular President who took certain difficult decisions, which though not popular at the time, set the country on an irreversible trajectory of economic growth and development.

lol Naso … in Nigeria ?…every progress made we be looted and relooted?… forget it …abeg just work on yourself and family … Hoping on the govt will leave you in eventual pains

Love800:
Why will he throw away nepa light. Wont the solar use inverter?

Not if the solar is working at maximum… the solar panels can be charging the inverter

nlreserve:
I know I'm not the only one passing through this. So, MOD, please endeavor to take this to front page for wider viewing and responses.

Why not do 2M solar and throway Nepa light

Angelfrost:
Mtchewwww.... On which strike? Dem get union?!!


When you and your greedy agents were pegging and demanding ridiculous and insane wages, I never saw clubs going on strike.


Play or take massive pay cuts!

The balance go reach una clubs sign up more players to properly and fully rotate the squads for fixtures.


Why should a top team involved in multiple competitions and fixtures not have massive squad depths to choose from?!!


You players, coaches, and club owners need to have a word with yourselves.


Maybe it's time to actually give youth academies a chance!


There should be players for certain fixtures, and others for other fixtures!

It's as simple as that!!!

Or maybe All the clubs should sign more players whilst reducing the exorbitant wages of these players

DeLaRue:
It makes over five trillion naira sense.

That's how much it cost every year for NNPC/Nigeria to subsidise in order to keep petrol price at around N600.

And it was borrowed money that future generations will have to pay back.

Remove all petrol subsidy and let us pay the market price.

Mr Jonathan or Mr Buhari removed kerosene subsidy. People wailed that heavens will fall. It has not fallen.

Either Mr Buhari or maybe it was Mr Jonathan removed diesel subsidy. Businesses wailed that heavens will fall. Heaven hasn't.

If petrol subsidy is removed, and the country stops the bone-headed, stupid borrowing to pay for subsidy, it will be to the long term benefit of Nigeria. And heavens will still not fall.

Infact, I suspect heavens will smile and say, finally, sense got to these ones.

lol nonsense… money that will be wasted and looted … keep hoping on Nigerian politicians

Antoeni:
Peter Obi had majority of the vote in the South even Fraudulent INEC results confirmed it while Atiku had also Majority of the vote in the North also confirmed by fraudulent INEC in the last 2023
presidential election.

Now Imagine Atiku/Obi 2027 Colabo.

Atiku shud just do VP for Obi for the next 4 years … then when power returns to the North … Atiku would easily win… but I am not sure he has thought of that

OriOko88:
You lied! There's no way a cedis would be 90 naira in 2012. A naira was about 140 to dollars in 2012, infact our naira was on par with Japanese yen ,and South Africa rand in 2012. A dollars to yen then was about 135 yen.

A cedis to naira then was about 5000 naira,while a CFA to naira then was 10000. I can remember vividly

lol did u mean a Naira then was about 5000 cedis?

heykims:
I don't know why all of una just dey criticise Mike when he talks.
Just to be clear, he's no more an active footballer and he now earns money from talk shows and podcasts. Simply put, Mikel now talks for a living and he's been doing well.

E nor tire you ?… Like he doesn’t have the right to talk again
