Bro,
Ever since Mourinho converted Mikel to defensive midfield @Chelsea, Mikel has always seemed out of position when in the National team...

He has always been the cause of experimental formations just so he can be accommodated.

Out of sentiment he was dubbed to replace JayJay Okocha but he never stood up to that expectation till today.

Always lacked pace, good passing and tackling but lacked the spark to wear the iconic 10, not a goal scorer, average set piece ability, till today can't determine his best position.

how do people sit somewhere and dubbed someone the next Jay Jay...mikel is best used as defensive midfielder...
let iwobi play AM simple...mourinho got the best of him and it paid off for him...
na play out of best use make ihenacho node team so he was converted to a full striker and it has Neva worked...
bale was once a defender he was converted to attack
ndidi was a defender converted to DM
this obsession of 2005 should end Mikel was Neva a fast guy...his strength is holding play break play and can give some nice passes

Skseries:
that's what we keep getting wrong, I feel the idea of deploying onuachu was for his height, he his tall so in can get into crosses, but that will have only worked if we had good crossers of the ball, how many crosses can we say was perfect yesterday? So I don't blame the guy, ighalo onuachu and osinme all have a different style of play and give flavour to the attack, I expected ighalo to start yesterday and mayb Paul in second half or osinme but then am impressed Rhor is bold enuf to tweek things now

when last did we play crossing football...how do u twerk things in tournaments...wen you should do that in friendlies... Rohr made onuachu a minus yesterday.. Mikel was in effective too... iwobi should have done much better as AM...not on the flanks

gbosaa:
In terms of football, Uganda is one of the most improved countries in Africa. I wonder why people underrate them. They beat Nigeria by 1-0 in 2015, played draw with the Eagles last year in Nigeria. The beat Egypt 1-0 in Kampala during the World Cup qualifying and in the return leg, Egypt with Mo Salah could only manage a 1-0 victory in Cairo.

Uganda had beaten Ivory Coast before coming for this tournament.
People should appreciate and respect these so called ‘small footballing nations’.

thank you Uganda are one of the dark horses to win this tournament aside Senegal,morroco,Egypt,nigeria,ghana

LegalOpinion:
Referring to me as stupid rather than contest my assertions just shows how poorly educated you are. Your parents are entitled to all the money they spent on your education until you dropped out of school.

And if you think Pinnick can't influence players selection in the national team, then the generational stupidity in your family remains incurable. Little wonder your parents ended the way they did. Orue.

you are foolish animal...displaying crass stupidity on a public forum

LegalOpinion:
Akpeyi is the worst goalkeeper in the Super Eagles today but he is unsurprisingly our first choice. That is just a reflection of how corrupt the Nigerian system is. Because he is Amaju Pinnick kinsman, he must be the number one.

see u stupid reasoning...u left the white man who made him number one...why una de yarn dust every time...even ezenwa and uzoho are not any better than akpeyi self...if only rohr pick afelokhai of enyimba..

legitnow:
Media Abuse.

Ighalo score goal, yoruba leave Ighalo dey hail Aina backheel.

Nigeria media is lost in their hands.

u de craze...

GodSaklek:
Many small teams a playing a surprise game against big teams, Zimbabwe heroic displays against Egypt,Uganda perfect performance against Congo,Burundi fine display against Nigeria, and now it's naby keita's Guinea 1 - 2 Madagascar, wonders shall never end,what concern me is that Rohr should bench mikel and always introduce him into the game when we have already won the game,and when all the players has already got tired,mikel should never be a starter for eagle anymore, akpeyi should never start for eagle again

Uganda is not a small Team now oga.. de have the best African goal keeper now Dennis onyago...Rohr should get his line up good play iwobi as AM...ighalo and musa should start... osimhen is better than onuachu...

kokan:
will there not be trainings for him? We clubs see him do well in his country they will buy him. Since his good, he should have been put online

national team nobe trial ground...ur pick your best on good form simple...thats why ihenacho is not here

kokan:
Alampasu that is far far better is no where to be found. Nigerian and politics eeeh, even football politics Naa waa

wer is alampasu playing football...or you think national team is where u invite anyhow...
a theophilus afelokhai of enyimba would have done better...

prinsam30:
you guys blaming Mikel don't know football at all, you guys should blame the coach for this useless formation... iwobi is not good at that left front, etobo and Ndidi finds it difficult to playmake Mikel, that coach needs to revert back to a 433 with musa coming in and get that Paul out for igaloh

you sabi ball oga gernot rohr formation is bad...how do u play iwobi on the wings...keepin musa on the bench...leave ighalo on the bench too

Generalpatton:
I dont see the comparison here.buhari proclamation letter stated 10am and it started exactly at 10,almost all members of nass were present.were these obtainable in the two states? There is nothing wrong in a governor or president having a favorite but going about it the right way is the issue

they should go to court...then you have a point though but quorum was set even if na ungodly hour

Generalpatton:
You are a self acclaimed democrat and non partisan and must always abide by this ideals.though we dont practice democracy fully,we must continually strive to do the right thing legally.in democracy,everyone has a say or a choice or fundamental human rights including the president and the governors.they have a right to support anybody they want to head the legislature,you cannot deny them.it is legal.it is only when they use force or extra legal means to achieve this as seen in those two states that we must resist.
In all states,the assemblies are completely in control of the governors especially when majority are in the same party with the governor.even the lgas are under the control of the governor.therefore at the federal level,the president must at least prefer someone within his party which is in order.
What is happening in edo and bauchi is purely illegal.no matter how you are pained by the happenings in the recent nsss polls,everything was in order.they kept to time and everyone was present and voted,nobody was coerced and no complsimts from the losers.therefore,same should happen in edo and bauchi.at least a simple majority of all the members elect is what is needed not all members.you can see what happened in sokoto and adamawa.
Based on the above assertions,i urge you to align with my opinion and consent this illegal acts

you post speaks of double standards...if it is logical for Buhari to have his preference then gorvenos to can...the thing is some persons want to undermine the gorvenors in those states..

Racoon:
Well, his father the then Col.Sanni Bello was an exceptionally bold, courageous & brilliant military officer which the then COAS-Lt.Gen.T.Y Danjuma was so scared of him that he retired him prematurely from the army for being bold to challenge him.

Sanni Bello was in the same intake with the future Heads Of State-Babangida/Abdulsalam Abubakar @ the Bida Middle School in the 1950s.They all enlisted into the Nigerian Army together.He was so outstanding that he was simply the best in Mathematics far above others in that set that also includes the likes of Gado Nasko, Sami(Future Brigade of Guards CO),Garba Duba Mohammed Magoro etc.

Bello was also to play a dramatic role in saving the life of his fellow ADC colleague-then Lt.Andrew Nwankwo when the late Maj.Gen.J.T.U.Aguiyi Ironsi was being killed alongside Fajuyi somewhere along Iwo Road in Ibadan during the northern counter coup of July 28-29 1966.

The murder party includes the like of Lt.William Welbe(Gen.Gowon future ADC), Maj.T.Y.Danjuma, Lt.Daida Paiko, some NCOs from the then notorious 4th.Battalion @ Mokola Barracks.

importance of history education...

tuniski:
They are legal. The controversy is in whether the timing of inauguration was appropriate, good faith and duly communicated. Once such conditions are met, it is immaterial whether quorum is form or not. Those present at inauguration will simply elect the leadership via simple majority.


Anyway, let the matter goes to court and deepens our jurisprudence.

abi na... quorum was formed but timing is the issue...those who supported Buhari and presidency interference in legislative matter una see what executive influence can cause...
no come de shout Buhari no impose they were voted...these ones were voted too...

Generalpatton:
Guy,be reasonable.buhari didnt force or impose leaders on nass,he only suggested plus all of them were present and elected their leaders.this wasn't obtainable in edo or bauchi.in the eyes of the law,there is no speaker in edo or bauchi

the president doesn't even have to suggest in the ist place so if president can suggest then the gorvenos can to..
why is that the party and some persons want to undermine obasaki in edo state... is it not double standard unlike Buhari with nass??
what is the business of former bauchi governor with the house there if not to cause trouble for bala and pdp he should focus on tribunal if he feels he has a case...rather than galvanising lawmakers to repeat how balarabe was removed in 1979 as kaduna gorveno when he was prp and the house was npn...
if we follow democrat tenets from top to bottom in Nigeria all this noise no go de...

ORIENTATION101:
don't worry the pdp governor will be dealt with. I hope ur pdp sympathizers will not wail

na who go deal with am??
if Buhari can pokenose to nass affairs then bala can to in bauchi house

so what's is the former governor own in this matter?? Nigeria self...

who is oshomole to issue order to IGP... the aggrieved guys should go to court...
na because we play bitter politics na im de cause all this nonsense so...
yes apc are majority in bauchi but if the pdp gorveno sleep the lawmakers fit use am shine...
if Buhari can pokenose for nass why not the gorveno in bauchi and edo state...??
in the US both houses are not dominated by republican which holds executive ace but no issue dee here we abuse things
why did bauchi gorveno no learn from sokoto who manage situation apc dominate but see how apc speaker and pdp deputy in sokoto...

Charmingrascal:
What I don't understand is when I was young and in Secondary school we were told that a male can only impregnate a girl at the age of 18 and a girl can only be pregnant at the age of 16

Was my teacher wrong or computer age is also influencing fertility?

your teacher na fool when 11-13 year old ladies de get pregnant...once puberty set in anything is possible...

some these teachings are so illogical...at this Age so a man is financially ok and marry and something happens finance node the woman should run abi... what happened to love and mutual respect or is there anything wrong if a woman foot bills in the house...
anyway let everyone believes what work for him or her...naso some people say person wey de earn 50k no supposed marry like say na everyone de earn millions...nonsense

nobody is protesting Now oooo... but if na irrelevant things some so called youths will protest

tbabs10166:
football is not based on mathematics, if Germany flogged south africa 4-0 doesn't mean they'll flog us too. I agree our players are not too fantastic but we can still put up a good fight against germany

of course but saying the Germans will under pressure is nauseating... the Germans are clear favorites with falcons underdogs if they can defend well used the few chances from counter attacks well then we have a chance

oloriooko:
How dare you compare Falcons with those secondary school Thailand girls
The Germans will go into this match watchful of the damage an African side can do to them

damage my ass...the same Germans whooped South Africa 4-0 which we couldn't score even one against in two matches last awcon... am patriotic but reality should not go down that we ll be under pressure simple

yinkus6750:
NASS leadership shouldn't really be determined by role of opposition party.
They have the right to choose whom to lead them.
Were they expecting a repeat if 2015?
Saraki was a member of the ruling party then, only that he revolted against party choice and had to collaborate with the opposition hence they were compensated with Ekweremadu as his deputy, which was a very wrong arrangement.

you are as wrong as secondus...nass leadership is the business of nass members sorely...party can influence simple...saraki won cos he was supported by majority...ekwerenmadu won cos the rest apc members went AWOL that day to meet with president when they ought to be in the hall....with pdp having more members then were u expecting them to support ndume over ekwe den...

respect80:
No wonder some said he was obviously backed by the presidency to become the SP because he would be easier to manipulate due to his indecisive characteristic.

His action in this matter has obviously uphold those assertions.

He will now feel the heat of the seat and come to realization that being the SP isn't as easy as it seems...

It's a position which directly places someone's integrity and intellect on a public scale for all to see.

At the end of this administration, it will be very difficult for him and APC e-rats to reconcile with their conscience for the misfortune they have caused this country. And that's if they still have their conscience intact.

if he carries that kind attitude to lead senate...it ll backfire for him...apc would certainly need pdp for sm critical issues

oloriooko:
Its fight to finish, Nigeria has nothing to lose so the pressure is on the Germans knowing for sure that the Falcons are the underdogs

like the pressure was on USA when they thrashed Thailand 13 0 and beat other guys in their group conceding none... the falcons are under pressure we are defensive and rely on our fast attackers like asisat ordega and oparanozie...if we crack against France how much more against a formidable German side...Just pray we don't concede much....falcons are out already

oloriooko:
Germany will be a tough opponent but beatable
Our girls must be sound and determined to do the impossible
Wishing them the best

we couldn't beat France na Germany... man those guys ll beat us let's Just hope we don't concede to many goals...it's like expecting the United States not to make at least the finals...we have reach the last bustop

Blainz:
Impunity breeds anarchy

This is what APC should do...encourage the cheated lawmakers to cause crisis in the states...declare state of emergency and remove the governors.

Since it's about who smart pass right?

lolzz instigate fire... declare emergency for where... you no well

buharitill2023:
I hope you wil follow obaseki to beg for his return ticket, the same way idiotic pigs follow ambode to begged

you must be a clown to compare Lagos to edo state...if apc deny obaseki his ticket pdp ll take over cos apc ll cracked there...pdp is hugely strong in edo state so stop this nonsense of ambode...ambode lost cos Lagos is a one way traffic state and he didn't manage situations well...obaseki has some apc people on his side...ambode case everyone was against him...use ur head not ur shit yansh

respect80:
They have forgotten already that it took both PDP and APC lawmakers to vote him as the SP

lawan failed his first test of standing his ground... let's see how he conduct himself

highchief1:
oshiomole is not tinubu.tinubu does not make noise his actions speaks

edo state is not Lagos mind u if apc do not trade carefully pdp ll take over so leave that yeye tinubu osho comparison or ambode nonsense treatment

Esji80:
My brother ,go and find out what happened in Sokoto.

The APC member elected Speaker is Tambuwal's boy ooo

He contested against the preferred candidate of the APC. Just like Saraki version 2.0

and so what his colleagues voted for him simple... which every member participated...unlike the controversy in edo and bauchi...
