Are you sure. can you come out with substantial evidence to support your claim. I mean give me concrete examples and logical arguments. I want an explanation i am not saying you are right or wrong

kellycute:
Osimhen is better than Tammy and have what it take to single handedly win game for his team. Osimhen have incredible mental strength and appetite to win game. Tammy is ok but he doesn't have the "fear factor" and doesn't have the mental strength to single handedly win a game for his team.

Pinnick should try and contact a player like Alhassan Yusuf in sweeden if eze keeps snubbing him. I am not saying he is better but at least, he is available and decent. i read he is the best player in the sweedish league and he is only 20. We should give him a chance and let him prove what he can do instead of chasing shadows

Kbs468:
"Talks are on going but the player has requested for the chance to continue to focus on his Club career which is going well so far and that further progress Will be made in due course"

For goodness sake, can't we focus on the Players that are also doing very very well and are ready to done the GREEN WHITE GREEN colours of NIGERIA rather than going after people that are not ready for Us because of some certain supernatural privilege of birth?

When others are yearning for the opportunity to use the SE exposure to booster their Club career and ego?

Anybody that is not self-submitting to get SE Experience, exposure and fame should be let alone and no hatred should be extended to them over their decision Period! Rather than subjecting us to mockery amongst the committee of footballing Nations

You are right. I think Uzoho is a star in the making. He even has international exposure. Making good saves against the likes of Messi, Gabriel Jesus and Aguero. Uzoho may be a prodigy compared to the upstart called Ejimadu. I think most people are the fans of foreign born players and assume they are better.
Uzoho is pure quality and at a young age he is making amazing progress. Ejimadu is nonsense compared to him

Kbs468:
Which Ejimadu is better than UZOHO in a US division 3 club?

Which kangaroo award by Fans in division 3 in only 12 Matches under his belt? Hasn't he been conceding Goals at all?

Please just check the below for yourself.

PHILIP EJIMADU

Ejimadu played in the youth academy of Nacional Atlético Clube in São Paulo, Brazil before returning to the United States to go pro.

He signed with Major League Soccer outfit, Los Angeles FC on February 21, 2019.

On March 29, 2019, Ejimadu went on a season-long loan to third-division, FC Tucson.

The next day, Ejimadu made his professional debut for FC Tucson starting the entire match in a 3–1 victory at Orlando City B.

International

Ejimadu is eligible to represent Brazil, Nigeria, and the United States on the international level.

In 2018, he was called into the training camp for the United States under-20 national team.


FRANCIS UZOHO

Born in Nwangele, Uzoho joined the Senegal branch of Aspire Academy in 2013, aged 14;initially a forward, he was converted into a goalkeeper after being deemed "too slow" at the age of 12.

In 2016, after impressing on a tournament in Barcelona, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña's Juvenil squad.

Age rules meant that Uzoho could only become available to sign a contract with Dépor in January 2017;[6] shortly after signing his contract, he started to train with the first team.

Promoted to the reserve team ahead of the 2017–18 season, he made his senior debut on 10 September by starting in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against Real Madrid Castilla.

Uzoho made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 15 October 2017, starting in a 0–0 away draw against SD Eibar.

At the age of 18 years and 352 days, he became the youngest ever foreign goalkeeper to debut in La Liga, and the second-youngest player to appear in the league during the campaign, only behind Real Madrid's Achraf Hakimi.

On 24 August 2018, Uzoho renewed his contract for three seasons and was immediately loaned to Segunda División side Elche CF for one year.

In February 2019 he moved on loan to Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta, in the search for more first-team football in the run up to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

After making his debut for the club, concerns were raised about his health certificate.As a result, Anorthosis Famagusta were deducted 9 points, which they appealed.

The club's deduction appeal was rejected, although Uzoho's appeal against his personal penalty of a one-match ban and €1,000 fine was successful.

In July 2019 he returned on loan to Cyprus, this time with Omonia. He said he hoped his return to the country would be positive.

International

Uzoho represented Nigeria under-17s at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Aged only 14, he was an immediate backup to Dele Alampasu.

In October 2017 Uzoho received his first call-up to the Nigerian senior squad.He made his full international debut on 14 November, replacing Daniel Akpeyi in a 4–2 friendly win against Argentina.

He was named in Nigeria's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. By that time he was considered Nigeria's first-choice goalkeeper.

He withdrew from the national squad in November 2018 due to injury.

He was a squad member at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Francis Uzoho was in goal for Nigeria in the 3rd place match against Tunisia.

In October 2019 he suffered a ligament injury in a friendly match against Brazil, and underwent surgery in November 2019.

there is a trophy attached to it with the advent of Big Brother Africa. That is why i am against that programme. We should stop showing programmes that promote immorality. It is giving our youths the wrong impression

maximusprime2000:
youth nd sex dis days is getting overrated as if a trophy is attach to it. girls are losing Virginity at age 9, 10, everday..on d rampage. dis is becoming unbecoming. Ao do we get here.

even if she goes to court, what is the evidence that she did not consent to the release of the video? Was their any written evidence, she did not want it to be displayed?

The school CANNOT support her in anyway as sexual immorality is not part of the aims and objectives of Babcock.
The best the school can do is reduce it to a one year suspension instead of expelling her.
She only has herself to blame

Babcock is a brand for academic excellence. She did not make scientific discovery or achieve any intellectual excellence in any endeavour. If the school does not punish her it means they support immorality

Maybe she can go into pornography or act big brother the girl herself is stupid

philip0906:
How exactly did she drag her school name to the mud? By having sex?...Everyone in Babcock uni, has sex.

The video that was put out, was not released by her, so she cannot be blamed for that. In this case, she is the victim.

So exactly how did she drag her school name to the mud? Don't students, the VC & lecturers have sex?

I THINK ROHR SHOULD STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP.
THAT WAY HE WILL BUILD A STRONG TEAM
HE HAS TRIED AND HE AT LEAST HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER
WE SHOULD JUST WORK ON THE FACT THAT HE SHOULD LIVE IN NIGERIA
AND TRY AND USE HOME BASED PLAYERS.
LET US LEAVE HIM AS COACH
I WANT TO KNOW PEOPLE'S OPINION ON THIS.
SHOULD ROHR STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP OR LEAVE NEXT YEAR
I PERSONALLY BELEIVE HE SHOULD STAY AS THE ADVANTAGES
ARE MORE THAN THE DISADVANTAGES.
HE SEEMS TO BE BUILDING A STRONG TEAM THAT CAN DOMINATE AFRICAN
AND WORLD FOOTBALL FOR SOME TIME TO COME

Tomori is finally cup yied. Came in for england against Kosovo a few minutes ago

Ronaldo has scored 99 goals for portugal. Will soon reach 100 goals and break Ali dae record for international goals

Rohr has taken us to 55%. What we need now is a coach that will take us to 85% and above.
What I mean is winning the nations cup 2 or 3 times and getting to tje semi finals of the world cup. Players like chidera ejuke and Alhassan Yusuf should be invited to see what they can offer. We need to take things to the next level.

Imama is a horrible coach. I was scarred when he was appointed coach of the Olympic eagles and my fears were confirmed. He is a serial looser and his teams play horrible football.

Rohr is just average but an average student with 55% is better than a student who scores 10%.
Maybe Amunike should have been tried with our youth teams. At least Rohr has built a decent team. Anybody that succeeds Rohr has little work to do. HE has laid A GOOD foundation. The only thing that is needed in the super eagles are a good left back and a good play maker.

By the way Imama should be banned from handling any Nigerian team. It is unfortunate Siasua has problems with fifa but he is good with youth and home based teams. Siasia could have done a better job

That is the problem. These foreign born or European players are overrated and simply have more opportunities. The Zambian team we defeated had higlly rated players in these Leagues. Abeg make we hear word. For example, someone born in Ajegunle might be more brilliant than a Harvard graduate, he might just need a chance.

Are you sure this your Mwetu is better than Kelechi Nwakali or Taiwo Awoniyi?. It's all a question of perspective. The problem is that normally, a player is expected to peak from the age of 25 and so players develop at a different rate also some players are simply not given a chance to express themselves. For example, Kelechi Iheanacho scores everytime he plays, yet the coach benches him. Being in a good team or league is sometimes about luck.

andrewbaba44:
You and this your english league one hyping

Can you listen to your self saying most u23 players in africa cant cut it in an epl academy

If i combine players that are under the age of 23 from naija ivory coast and co you go begin find excuse

Zambia has scored
Zambia leading by a lone gosl

The nff should act fast before we loose this boy to sweeden. He should have been invoted for the Olympics team. We are running after eberechi eze while alhasan yusuf is slipping from our fingers. I hope we dont regret tjis. The boy is a star in the making with perhaps prodigous talent


[quote author=charlesemeka85 qpost=83933482]Agents and their tactics


SCORENigeria can exclusively reveal that plans are now underway for Sweden to give Alhassan Yusuf citizenship so that he could now play for them and not the Super Eagles. The former FC Hearts midfielder, 19, has been the biggest revelation in the Swedish top-flight league this past season.

And this fact was underlined by the various awards he has so far bagged – Young Player of the year award in the league and the best player in his club this season

‘Hasse’ scored two goals in 27 league appearances for IFK this past season, but he has yet to represent Nigeria at any level. “The plans are now on for Alhassan to play for Sweden and not Nigeria,” a source close to the IFK Goteborg star informed only SCORENigeria “First, he has to get a Swedish passport and then he could play for his adopted country. “But in the end, it’s the personal decision of the player himself.”

Earlier this year, his club refused to release him for the FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland despite sustained pressure from the Flying Eagles.[/quote]

The mri scan machine has reduced age cheating. Sice 2013 when it was introduced our youth players do not fizzle out like vefore. more of our youth players are still relevant
Osimhen iheanacho uzoho chukwueze even nwakali is still relevant. FIFA
has forced us to stop age cheating and it is helping us

RTSC:
There are
so many. genuine u-17 players playing good amateur football all over Nigeria.

Just a trip to any community stadium or field in any town in Nigeria and you would find them.
Those are the future of Nigerian football.

This urge to win at all cost is bad.

Victor osimhen won a red card against valencia a Valencia defender brought him down and the valencia player was sent off valencia were reduced to 10 men and this made lille win the match
So his general contribution was very good even if he didn't score. It show he is hardworking and coaches value that

[quote author=wayodude post=83304105]Why would Rohr be worried by the possibility of a better player coming on to displace an incumbent and by doing so improve his results and ratings?

Surely any coach, army general, tradesman etc will want the best tools available to him right?

So if Rohr has overlooked even extending an invite to his guy all through his tenure when he has called up players who were almost totally unknown to the average naija fan like sareren bazee, ebuehi, maduka, semi ajayi and most recently Solomon otabor that should tell you that whilst his selections are largely on merit there are still influences at play. We can call this the 'Nigerian Factor'.

Having said that Eze will be called up if not in the next squad it will be in the following one.

I won't argue with anyone comparing him to Iwobi at this time. Simply not worth it.

[/quote

Kelechi nwakalu is better than eze. He does not have a good agent to get him a good club. It may sound far fetched but that boy needs help as he is very good

Awoniyi played 45 minutes for mainz today

Victor Osimhen could make it at Manchester United. They are in desperate need of quality players at a cheap price. They have spent so much money and it has not gotten them anywhere. Rashford is not a goal scorer though a very good player. However, he might not be ready for English football. Only time till tell

andrew444:
Thank you bros, you dey reason well bros

If i dey tell them say some players no get chance for Barcelona/madrid some of them go attack me, someone was arguing with me that a certain adeyemi will play for barcelona, na laff i just dey laff

That is what i was saying. It is not every player that plays well for their club that will play well for their country. Some players just don't suit a certain pattern. That is why judging a player on club form is too simplistic and has limitations

drDoom3:
Simple! Because the current SE philosophy does not suit his style of play. Onuachu is a player that thrives in d possession-keeping team against team parking the bus. He is the kind of player you use against teams like Burundi, Madagascar, Lesotho, Benin etc. That is why he has been largely successful in Europe, because all the teams he has played for are table toppers in their leagues.
In a team that has a defensive style of play and thrives on the counter, Onuachu will flop helplessly. He does not have the frame and energy to continuously mark and chase down defenders.
Onuachu is not a bad player, just that he doesn't fit the current SE style of play.

The super eagles need creative players in midfield but ironically, our most
creative players are not playing in good clubs in Europe. We should ignore this
fact and invite players like kelechi nwakali, rabiu ibrahim and lukman haruna.
If they can offer creativity in midfield, then we are good to go.
If an Ahmed Musa who plays in Saudi Arabia or Ighalo who plays
in china can be part of our team, then rabiu ibrahim who plays in slovakia and
kelechi nwakali who does not even feature for his club in the second division
of the spanish league should be considered.
You cannot allways use club form to judge a player. It is simply too simplistic
The problem is we do not have a natural attacking midfielder playing in a good club
If kevin de bruyne or christian eriksen were Nigerian then we have no problem
We can even try chukwuka onuwa or plays for enyimba
WE NEED CREATIVE MIDFIELDERS AND PLEASE LET US GET THEM FROM
ANYWERE AS LONG AS THEY CAN PLAY WELL FOR US LET US FORGET ABOUT
THIER CLUB FORM. IN FACT, BEN IROHA DID NOT HAVE A GOOD CLUB CAREER BUT
PLAYED WELL FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM. CLUB CAREER AND NATIONAL TEAM CAREER ARE
NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTLY RELATED.

tbaba12345:
Nah, Iwobi is critical to how we play. We have no other creative midfielder.

Even though, he had an average game against Brazil, he still created the best chance with Osimhen in the first.

Earthquake1:
Rohr prides himself on developing young talent and says the NPFL does not good enough talent

Why not try a potential in the NPFL, you have one more fit player, you invested in the NPFL. Win Win

Chukwuka Onuwa is a creative midfielder/playmaker who plays for Enyimba yet our coaches keep on ignoring him. The home based coach (imama) or whatever he is called is simply a dummy and totally incompetent. Onuwa should be given a chance. Perhaps he can solve the problem of lack of attacking midfielders in our national team. As bad as our league is, even the good players there are not invited to our national team.
The players being used for the home based team are NOT THE BEST PLAYERS IN the league.

I don't know what is wrong with our coaches. The young man is the best midfielder in the premier league according to local journalists and he has even received player of the year. Our coaches might have something wrong with their brain. Maybe the young man neeeds to grow abroad before we recognize him.

charlesemeka85:
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has admitted it would be difficult to invite Arsenal rising star Bukayo Saka to the national team because he has competitive caps for England's youth teams.

The Hale End Academy product was there for the taking until he became provisionally cap-tied to England after featuring for the Young Lions at the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and has also played competitively for the U19 squad.

It took a long while before former England youth internationals Ola Aina, Victor Moses and Sammy Ameobi were able to switch nationalities, and Rohr fears Saka would suffer the same fate if he decides to play for Nigeria.


The Nigeria Football Federation have attempted to woo Chelsea duo Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori and the English Football Association quickly stopped them in their tracks by handing call-ups to the Chelsea duo for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

''On Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, it is not easy to invite players who has played already for England or other countries in the U-17, U-18 and U-20 categories,'' Rohr explained to Sporting Life Nigeria.

''It is very tedious and requires long processes to do so. I could remember that it took us one year before Ola Aina’s issue was resolved before he was cleared by FIFA and was eligible to play for us.''

The 18-year-old Saka has played eight games for Arsenal's first team since his debut in November 2018, scoring once and providing three assists.

CHIDERA EJUKE IS A BETTER PLAYER THAN BUKAYO SAKA. HE IS ALSO A WINGER AND PLAYS FOR HEERENVEN IN THE DUCTH LEAGUE. WE DO NOT AND I REPEAT WE DO NOT NEED THESE FOREIGN BORN PLAYERS.
IN FACT CHIDERA EJUKE IS CALLED THE NIGERIAN INIESTA AS HE IS VERY SKILLFILL. WE NEED TO START APPRECIATING OUR HOME GROWN TALENTS IN OUR YOUTH COMPETITIONS AND ACADEMIES. IT IS RIDICULOUS SCRAMBLING FOR FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS. THEY SHOULD BE AN AFTER THOUGHT AND NOT THE MAIN THING
WE HAVE PLAYERS AS GOOD AS MBAPE IN LAGOS, POURT HARCOURT AND ABUJA BUT IN OUR STUPIDITY WE WILL REFUSE TO DEVELOP THEM

We live in a society that is not enlightened and so we are so ignorant that we think introverts are not normal. Nigerians need orientation on how to understand human nature. Introverts are generally very intelligent but most people simply
Dont know. Introverts think a lot and are very intelligent but our primitive mind set is a problem

Mansurah Abdulazeez discusses how her visionary plant research could help in fight against tumours

In her own words
"We have screened and confirmed the cytotoxic activities of extracts of the drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and soursop (Annona muricata) trees as well as the native Nigerian shrub Peristrophe bicalyculata on cervical carcinoma and fetal lung carcinoma cell lines. We also studied what anticancer mechanisms these plants exhibit. We found that these plants act in the body through a variety of mechanisms — there is no single mode of action for all plants."

Mansurah Abdulazeez is a molecular biologist at the Center for Biotechnology Research, Bayero University Kano, Nigeria. Her research aims to identify potent anticancer agents in African plants. Last November, the government of Spain awarded her their Science by Women Fellowship. And in June, she won a Nigerian National Research Grant of N31 million (US $86,000) from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund. The journal Nature asked Abdulazeez about her life and research.

Osimhen reminds me of patrick kluivert

It seems lille have finally won the signature of young, eciting striker (Victor Osimhen).
He has agreed personal terms with lille.
I beleive that Victor Osimhen will win the African footballer of the year in less than 5 years.
His talent is underrated and he seems to me a more skillfull version of Rashidi Yekini or maybe more
of Patrick Kuilvert. He is strong, tall, skillful, intelligent and fast.

Moses simon is actually better than we think despite the criticism against him.
He is good at crosses and corner kicks and up to a year ago (just before the world cup) one of our best players in attack
Even Okocha said so. In fact, he allready has two assists in this nations cup.

Former captain of the senior national team of Nigeria Austin Okocha has praised the abilities of Super Eagles winger Moses Simon when it comes to delivering corner kicks into the box.

The Levante man has provided two assists for Nigeria at the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with the last one coming in the game against South Africa where William Troost-Ekong netted what ended as the winner from his delivery.
Okocha while speaking on the talent in the Nigerian team said it’s nice to see a player who can whip in balls into the box for players to meet before mentioning why Simon takes corner kicks that are hard to defend against.

The lineup of the Super Eagles for their quarter final game against Bafana Bafana of South Africa has been exclusively revealed

Gernot Rohr maintained the 4-3-3 system that turns into a 4-2-3-1 when they are defending. However he has made two changes to the starting lineup.
Jamilu Collins is back in the squad and will play his first game after recovering fully from the groin injury that has kept him out of the team. He will take the place of Ola Aina in defence.

Aina is the only change in the back four with the trio of William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem keeping their spots in front of goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi.
In midfield, Rohr maintained same trio with Wilfred Ndidi playing as the defensive midfielder and Oghenekaro Etebo will occupy the central midfield role just behind Alex Iwobi who will once again play in the number ten role.

In attack, Moses Simon who started in the win over Cameroon in the round of 16 makes way for the man who substituted him in the game in Samuel Chukwueze who will operate from the right with captain Ahmed Musa keeping his spot on the left.

Lineup :

Kenneth Omeruo
Oghenekaro Etebo
Wilfred Ndidi
Alex Iwobi
Samuel Chukwueze
Ahmed Musa
Odion Ighalo

1. Bassogog And Njie Swapped Places

The duo of Christian Bassogog and Clinton Njie started on the right and left wings respectively but later switched places as the left footed Bassogog had difficulty dealing with Nigeria's right footed left back Ola Aina.

The Nigerian defender was primed to deal with his shifting of the ball to his dominant foot.

The switch seemed to worked a trick as the Eagles were troubled.

2. Sloppy Defending By The Eagles

The Eagles were put under tremendous pressure by the Cameroonian attackers and that forced some calamitous clearances by the Eagles' defenders.

3. The Wings Remains Nigeria's Best Option

The pace of Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon, and later Samuel Chukwueze, proved to be a huge advantage for Nigeria.

It proved that the Nigerian team have many match winners and having nine attackers might be blessing in disguise despite criticisms from some Nigerians.
