Nice list...omeruo is still a problem there...
that dude was someone I looked up to several years ago....to become the chief super eagles defense minister....
I will even prefer efe ambrose to him..presently....base on club form...afterall...efe rarely makes silly mistakes..like omeruo...
I won't want any rookie in his place....

the young ones that wanna play for us should await after the world cup...

omooba969:
You're yet to answer my questions.

omooba969:
I got that part but this is slight deviation from the agbada thing.

Kindly explain those two pictures(Bàtá drummers) I posted & their connection with Senegalese agbada?

You also need to let us know what the Yorubas had before their own agbada... simple?

omooba969:
In essence the red colour is only peculiar to the Igbos but not the cap itself.

Interesting!

omooba969:
Kindly shed light on this explaining its origin?

And don't forget that hat that complements the agbada?

omooba969:
The agbada = west african attire

But the red cap = ibo cap,

Why is it not West African cap?

I clearly understand your sentiment, no shaking.


You need to let us know what the Yorubas had before their agbada quoting the time/age/centuries?

Because in Nigeria the red cap is only consistent with Igbos. The Igala and the Housa wear a version of it but that very particular color and its variants are strictly Igbo and it comes with responsibility. Its an nze na ozo cap and not for fashion. However, today, every Igbo person find in convenient to wear it, but in Anambra only ndi nze na ozo wears it. They even have a female wearing okpu nze which is why Anambra people look down on a lot of Igbos because they have no respect for our culture

Ayam waiting.

omooba969:
So you sef notice am, our Yoruba agbada with their red cap.

The two don't even match.

Omo Òodúà tòotó nimí !

Christiana Adelana, née Egbo. Always have been beautiful, always a drama queen.

I remember that day, when she was rude to a teacher and he gave her a portion of grass to cut on the school field as punishment. She had barely spent five minutes on the field when she dramatically 'fainted' like an ogbanje having a seizure, only this wasn't a seizure but a gimmick to avoid cutting the grass. Of course the whole school erupted because the 'mighty' Christiana Egbo had fainted.

She was rushed out of the field to the sick bay while the teacher who gave her the punishment looked on with bemusement (he knew she was pretending). After 5 minutes she was 'revived' and told to 'rest' for the remaining part of the day.

Yeyenatu

Good to see her doing well for herself. Another bun is also in the oven after a long while. Thank Jesus!

I for say make una go him page go tell am for IG or Twitter, but Kelechi no dey get contact with outside world, so he no wvwn know wetin dey happen for internet.

Humility017:

enomakos:
julius berger were one of the top teams in their day
if i can remember correct they once play in the final of the cup winners cup now called caf confederation cup

Humility017:
the matter tire everybody......
because this French coach don't have any utter regard for him and musa.....
the man is blind to nancho abilities and same wit musa....

any club coach...like westham, Bournemouth, Brighton etc will play him....but this very coach have no regard for him....

let's be optimistic...Leicester was never the best option for him....their style of play never suits him........

I understand a better world cup performance will push his stock....but he need to be playing competitively until then...

jihday:
late nineties to 2000-2001 I think they were part of the top teams in the land

jihday:
I disagree, till the early noughties Julius Berger was one of the best teams in the land

realpoacher:
He was one of our creative playmaker as you rightly said, or so I thought, until we met a formidable team and unfortunately he couldn't measure up. Obviously as a player he is below average.

On his chapter, I am forced to want to agree with @komern that levels exist in football. And that is why a player playing and performing in top leagues (which translates as top level) is far better than a player in lower/poor leagues (low level).

I watched Imoh Ezekiel run rings at the earlier stages of the Olympics and was in complete awe of his performance. His runs, dribbles, cutt ins, and decisive crosses into the box was an art to watch. I daresay that most of our wins were inspired by him, he tormented the oppositions 2 and 3 no matter where he played between 7 or 11. He was a joy to watch, several times he left the defenders panting after turning them inside out coupled with his pace.

But there was a big BUT!.. When he jam him level in Germany, he himself know how far. Dude couldn't complete one successful dribble. Heck! I could count the number of times he was allowed to control the passes that came his way. All he could do was to pass sideways or backwards all through the semifinals against Germany.

I was slighted, what the hell. We were 1/2 goals down and each time Imoh Ezekiel got the ball, he lost it, he couldn't even beat anyone of his German marker.

That match confirmed my research postulations about football that "once you no reach, you no reach" there is absolutely nothing you can do once you are not good enough against your opponent.

Eg: Chances are that arsenal will lose 8 times out of 10 to Barcelona, why?.. Because against Barcelona, Arsenal no reach! Simples.

The truth is that the teams we played against enroute the semifinal were wacky, and when we came up against a better side in Germany, Imoh Ezekiel entered "ghost mode", not just him but many of the them that day including Nura Abdullahi who was faced one on one with the German keeper but fumbled.

Now going into the world cup, we are going to be facing top sides right from match day one, do you honestly think that Imoh Ezekiel can deliver better than what we have on ground presently?... The current players delivering for us are at best average. Imoh Ezekiel to me is not even average but below average, especially considering his current form. Canvassing for such a player right now is a disservice to football as a whole.

At this stage of our preparations towards the world cup, if you must suggest a player be sure that such a player is above average atleast before we can start even analyzing who he is going to displace from the current team.

Icon4s:
What?!!!!

That can't be true Naa.

Kog45:
Suck?Nawa o,pls tell me the best keeper in Julius Berger history and if you can convince me no issue,I will gladly accept.

safarigirl:
Meanwhile, our dearest beloved Tammy has finally exhausted his chances and the coach has dropped him to the bench for failing to score a goal in 10 games

Kog45:
Oga icon4s pls do not justify Ezenwa invitation, it was pure injustice for a second keeper in domestic league making national team and Dosu Joseph was never a bench warmer talkless of third keeper as at 93-96 in any club sides in Nigeria.

Kog45:
My man pls go and check archives.very well Dosu was never a third keeper at Julius Berger.He remain one of the best keeper to come out of Julius Berger.As at 1996 he was a super regular deputised by Victor Gbenebechie.

Humility017:
me wont even take both.......they don't worth it.

I rather take oshimen or kayode instead....

Humility017:
what did agu prove against Zambia?

please his position In that team is up for grab....let any of sokari, Joel obi seize it....

Humility017:
in that attack role...please add ogbeche to it...and also dessers.....

oshimen is just a mile away from making the world cup squad...the boy really need to put some hardwork.....
get a trainer and do extra work.....if he must get it right in his club....being that rohr likes him alot...he needs little conviction to make his team.....

Mujtahida:
wait o,I'm just watching highlights of the Leicester/man United match. was it not Ndidi that hurled that long pass to Mahrez?

tbaba1234:
Those 'Agali reports' were false. Agali himself said that he did not give interviews to the press.

There have been recent reports in Tunisia that Sokari has been called by Rohr for the March friendly. That is what started the discussion on Sokari.
