Nobody is talking of Sesko reducing his wages to make Man United move come through

Gyokerees did same for arsenal.

So those pushing the lame narratives that asking a player reduce his salary demands abit means he is under valued can now rest their head on a pillow
How?

Wrong analysis. Opposition votes will be further divided giving Tinubu a clear advantage
Don't mind him, same opposition sharing their votes. Just like the Oyo case in 2015 when Makinde (SDP), Akala (LP), Teslim Folarin (PDP), and Ladoja (Accord) all contested against Ajimobi, making it easy for the APC to win

Omo if Jonathan enter this race, Tinubu will be one term president.

If this is true , then tinubu is in a big trouble because Jonathan will destroy what is left of tinubu chances in the north which will pave way for atiku or Obi emergence as president .

This move could be atiku's game plan because it will favour him the most.
You forgot Atiku, Jonathan and Obi are all there to share PDP votes..Obi's SE votes is gone if GEJ should be on the ballot. Besides, it is a fake news.

Home based players no be am. The earlier we recognize this the better. Even as far back as 94 Westerhof's team was made up 100% or almost of foreign players. Granted that these players started from our local league but our local league had quality and also international football was not like today's game.

Today the league has tanked in quality and the gap between players groomed at home and international football is like an abyss.

The point I'm making is that we should drop all these confusing calls for inclusion of local players in the Super Eagles.

Let us focus on improving the league, improving football education, training, coaching and management.
Good local players are not in the league (NPFL), they are in the academies..

Nawa o, when no be today them begin win.

Is this the how this family made lagos?
This win is different because a record was broken and a new one set. No country had ever won the competition 5 times consecutively until now. Senegal previously won it 4 times in a row, a record D'Tigress equaled in 2023, and has now surpassed, with 29 matches undefeated in Afrobasket since 2015
These same players were previously treated badly after working hard to qualify for the FIBA World Cup, but the past administration stopped them from participating due to the leadership tussle between the Sports Ministry and the Basketball Federation.
They deserved to be celebrated and rewarded

Good we are winning
But if we must remain relevant in the long run

We must start developing the game from the grass root
Let's start
1.scouting for school girls
2. Develop academies to groom them
3. Invest in infrastructures playing Court and pitches
4. Expose the local lads by taking them to international tournament
5. Make or basketball and women football league professional

These and some other fees stuff can make us become the bench mark for both women
Basketball and football in Africa
Agreed. Most of the participants actually used foreign born players, so it ain't just about Nigeria. I want the team to be selected based on merit, not by allocating slots between foreign based and local based players. That approach is not sustainable, aforesaid, since it started with D'Tigers, the team regressed.

Honestly Nigeria is doing good

But

We must build our team from home
All the players basketball and football are speaking like Americans

We must start building our
Women football and basketball league to develop young talents back home to take over from this once

Let's dominant Africa completely
They are Nigerians and eligible. You go to war with your best soldiers..Since D'Tigers started using home based players, what have they achieved? They regressed rather, that was a team that once defeated USA.

He didn't promise them cash rewards in dollars, he said Naira equivalent of $100k.

He’s not playing God but stating d obvious fact except if u re just watching ball ..d same scenario is like expecting Tanzania 🇹🇿 to win the upcoming afcon…nobody will ever predict that.
In the 2015–2016 season, the odds on Leicester City winning the EPL were 5,000 to 1. They were not given any chance at all.
I am not saying Galatasaray will win the Champions League, but they are good enough to qualify from the group stage

The CHAN Eagles were held to a 2-2 draw by Zanzibar making it 2 draws against Zanzibar. Reports stated that the CHAN Eagles gave up a 2 goal lead.

I hope the team soars high when it really matters. Meanwhile how we go watch the games?
He started with his first 11 in first half and the report said they performed far much better and were 2 goals up. But he changed the players in the second half and they conceded two goals.

Yes it's business, but Atalanta is being greedy.

Inter is also being stingy. lol. Not sure why they have a challenge paying €50M for a player of Lookman's calibre especially considering the low wage request.
Very greedy. They bought him €10m but refused to sell for €43m. Even Retegui was acquired from Genoa at €20m but sold to Saudi at €68m.
I predicted earlier that it will it will be difficult for Lookman to leave, they can't afford to sell their best 2 strikers while they are competing in Champions league.

Galatasaray produces a set of Osimhen's customized kit box, independent of Puma, named the "Solo il Gala" kit box, which means "Only Gala" - a phrase Victor Osimhen himself coined after letting several clubs know he's only interested in playing for Galatasaray.

The kit will go for 9,999.99 TL (Turkish Lira), which converts to N376,522.98 in Nigerian currency. The kit box contains:

1 Osimhen's jersey (black and gold)
1 "Solo il Gala" headband (black and gold)
1 Osimhen's mask

The fans are also trending the hashtag "#SoloilGalaDay" and have dedicated the 31st of July of every year to celebrate the day in honour of Victor Osimhen... 🦁👑🇳🇬
According to report, Galasatary earned €431,000 from the live broadcast on YouTube of the striker’s arrival in Istanbul and they already printed 100,000 Osimhen's jersey.
They are targeting €5m in merchandise and ticket sales tomorrow when they play Lazio. Ticket prices have been increased

Good for him,he was in Ilorin recently with his Academy boss Kazeem Eletu,and it was like Milan don't want to renew his contract but surprisingly it's done now,two years contract,a new lease of life for Victor Eletu,hope he stays injury free.
I would prefer he goes to a league where he can develop, like the Belgian league. The agreement with Milan is to draft him into the U23 team, which competes in Serie D

According to a report on Gianluca Di Marzio‘s website, Eletu is ‘surprisingly staying at Milan’. The Nigerian midfielder, born in 2005, had his contract expire last month, but the club believe in him and has reached an agreement with the player over a new deal.

Eletu’s new contract will last two years and will have an option for a third. He will work with Massimo Oddo’s Milan Futuro team in the coming months to regain, after an injury-plagued season, the form he enjoyed two years ago.

$100k that's whopping over 150 millions or abi na mistake
The Super Eagles, despite not winning AFCON, received national honors, a flat, and a plot of land each in Abuja, that’s massive (considering the price of land in Abuja). So, it couldn’t have been a mistake. Even the Governors’ forum gave each Falcons player 10 million naira, totaling 240 million naira for 24 players. That made me believe the 150 million naira from the President cannot be for the entire team.
