While we all celebrate Moshood Abiola for his achievement ; I just want to remind everyone that June 12 was not an exclusive event that fell from the sky

Something led to June 12

This administration is choosing to engage in “Selective Historical Symbolism”

The story of June 12 1993 started in December 31 1983. If Buhari and his cronies did not truncate democracy and oust Shagari may be there will be no June 12.

So if Buhari want to reflect on our history he should start by apologising for that 1983 coup de tat.

And for our brothers in South West this move by the Presidency is not about you. It is about Buhari. He wants to gin up votes for himself in Yoruba land while also reminding us of IBB’s failaure.

The problem is Buhari has no moral right to reflect on our past history of democracy if he will not apologise for his role in 1983!

We can also invert the triangle in the midfield by asking Etebo to play box to box and join the attack leaving Ndidi to sit and provide permanent protection for the defence

3-5-2

Ebuehi RWB
Moses LWB

Those 2 will provide width

Etebo, Ndidi and Mikel to give a nice balance of brawn, energy and guile in the midfield

Omeruo, Ekong and Balogun to provide experience and youth in a solid back 3

While Musa and Simy provide pace and height and interlligent runs upfront

Let’s get back to basics, African football is about energy and pace because we will never out-pass or out-organise the Europeans

You can not make up allegations and hope that you will cow the honourable President of Senate to resign

If anything Buhari should be the one to resign

In a sane country a man who goes abroad every 3 months on health ground would have resigned

A man so incompetent that invaders from Lybia are killing his people and he can not do anything about it would have resigned

There will be no election in 2019

Buhari will remain in office

Anybody who wants Buhari out might as well start planning a coup

Buhari has no interest in fairness or justice

Ibrahim Idris IGP is in office still because of his 2019 rigging value. Remember how he rigged Kano 2015 and burnt the INEC commissioner and his family? Nigeria will be served worse in 2019.

He needs to start Etebo alongside Ndidi and Mike in midfield

Victor Moses and Ebuehi as wing backs

Ahmed Musa must start upfront

With that we have a chance, otherwise forget it

IGP Idris has been pencilled to lead the rigging of 2019 election so Buhari will not remove him

He has done it before in Kano and he will do it again in all of Nigeria

Saraki resigning will mean surrendering to impunity

Saraki is being blackmailed so he will resign

It will be victory for impunity and politics of bitterness if Saraki resigns

Please stop benching the following players

Musa, Etebo, Ebuehi

I seriously forgot that Fayemi is a minister

Alex80s:
I don't understand the combination of Idowu and Ogu.

Maybe we are playing 3-5-2

Yes they have changed to 3-5-2

That’s our best shape for the World Cup

We should start games with this shape but Omeruo should be playing in the back 3

Simy for score that heading

prinsam30:
I said this same thing in our last match against England but one of these indomie generation said I'm watching the back of TV

Ezenwa is lucky to be a professional goalie

He is no where near as good as Uzoho or Akpeyi

Gernot Rohr does not know his best 11

Etebo, Omeruo, Musa, Ebuehi are all in his best 11

Possibly Simy Nwankwo self

Too much loyalty to the guys who played qualifiers

It is getting boring

Kenneth Omeruo should start ahead of Leon Balogun

Gernot Rohr should bench Moses sometimes

He is not as good as he thinks he is

We are still struggling with corner kicks

jtwest:
Courtois wears number 13, same thing with oblak, jersey number no really matter. That ezenwa cannot be in goal for the world cup, I will even rate akpeyi over him.

Exactly

Akpeyi is a better goalkeeper than Ezenwa

This is waste of friendly

We only played friendliy games before the World Cup as far as am concerned. They are Argentina, Poland and England

DR Congo and Czech where we are the hosting team are crap

Uzoho looks better in black and looks more serious

dumo1:
Minister of defence and chief of defence staff, what's the difference. Aren't they both playing similar roles. Military people in the house pls enlighten me.

If you live in the US

Minister of Defence is equivalent to Defence secretary and runs Nigeria’s defence Ministry. He is simply a cabinet member and could be a civilian. Key activities include setting defence policy and procurement of military resources and services.


the chief of defence staff is the Nigeria equivalent of the Chairman of Joint Chief of Staff in the US and is usually a ranking senior Military officer from Army, Navy or Airforce.

What is going on now is why IBB removed this fool from office

Go look for that IBB coup speech once again

Wherever you see nineteen eighty something replace it with a more recent date starting from 2015 and it all looks like Dejavu

IMO, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi should follow suit

They must respond to this with the vigour with which they proscribed IPOB!

Ladies and gentlemen
This is the consequence of one single point of view in the National Security Council. The views of trespassing Fulani herdsmen/Libyans has become the number 1 priority of Nigeria’s security chiefs. This is why we warned when Buhari was appointing only his kinsmen to top security offices.

Plans

Etebo needs to be the box to box midfielder with his energy

Ndidi needs to be our destroyer and defensive midfielder

Mikel and Iwobi should be our creators from midfield

Iwobi and Iheanacho can sub the strikers or wingers or attaching midfielder depending on the game

Simy required in Iceland game to defend and attack aerial balls during set pieces plus be an effective goal poacher

So professional footballers are putting their victory at risk over a religious rule that came into existence when there were no professional footballers?

Why can’t people think outside the box?

The Qur’an makes concessions for travellers breaking fast early simply because when the qura’an was written travelling was one of the tedious task of the time

Why people can’t understand that if professional sportsmen existed when the qur’An was written they too would have had a concession Beats my imagination

Magjoel:
Uzoho is trying, I think we should give him more time, apart from that goal, he was brilliant.

Apart from that goal he was good

But he needs to go check how Pickford caught the attempt by Moses

That ball should be an easy catch

imamtobi:
please

Lol you obviously went to check your own source and realised it’s fake

Ali was born in England to an English mother

selemempe:
u should complete the bolded if u want to be sincere. Players are booed because they left a club for another...not because they are yellow, white or black.

He left nigeria to play england hence the booing by nigerian supporters. End of story...his race is not in question here

He has never played for Nigeria

The fans refusal to accept he is as English as everyone else just because of his heritage is RACIST!

bedspread:
I hope it was the Fasting... From wat am watching now, from the 1st Minute, Iwobi was the one falling back to play 2

Professional footballers need to stop fasting really

When the qur’an was written there was no professional footballers

So those who want to be professional footballers need to be pragmatic

Qur’an only gives allowance to long travelling as the genuine reason to break fast. But that’s because that’s the only hectic activity that existed at the time

Think outside the box people

Please let’s start with the green on green jersey against Croatia please

We have lost twice and drawn once with this jersey

But won against Poland and Argentina with the green on green
