Who is Jose peserio,our new foreign coach according to owngoal ?

Pinnick is just a politician that barely understand and knows football

He does not even know how to look out for a coach with his assistants and technical team instead he went to Mouriho to recommend one of his country men for the super eagles. He didnt even meet renowed football consultants or interview array of interested foreign coaches

And "They all wanna make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here''

Honestly! Do the hard work of properly scouting and identifying a coach to match your style no. It's to calling Wenger or Mourinho to say ''how far you sabi this pesin well?

he is no attacking midfield. Study which image?

How do you define an attacking midfielder?.

lakesidepapa:
Emmanuel Udom is one of the best thing that's happening to Akwa Ibom, His administration is another level.

That stadium looks good.

Honestly that's Akpabio's baby. Julius Berger have been in charge of maintenance since the beginning. Udom is just lucky to have come after Akpabio

Kwale is not Igbo and if you speak kwale an Igbo man will not understand the substance of your conversation.

Actually, in mainland Europe to be educated is synonymous with speaking 2/3 languages. In all these Scandinavian countries from my personal experience 80% of people speak English fluently and probably better than the English people themselves. Yes, l have used my English language in Scandinavia, even in Lithuania, to answer your question.

Spain and France probably about 30% much more depending if you are in a Urban setting or Rural one. So really your not talking to from knowledge but asdumptive misled and misinformed notions.

There is no one singular language that you can use to communicate throughout Nigeria, that's my assertion. You are not making SENSE.

Kwale is a town and not necessarily a language or even tribe, Ukwuani would be more representative term. They have origin that relate to the Benin and are not entirely Igbo derived. But that's not important.

The one language that you can use in general throughout Nigeria is pidgin English. Any other languages is about location.

The most international Nigerian language is probably the Yoruba which is spoken in West Africa as well as Brazil and Cuba.

Finally , who is the big DUNDEE UNITED ❓❓ English is not spoken in the Scandinavian countries CHEI ,

Please no vex go and ask for refund because, the school were you go them cheat you, teaching you nonsense.

This is not true

And if you want to make this claim, if you speak my dialect, Arochukwu, the average Igbo man will also not understand you, because it sounds more like Efik.


My point? There are different dialects of a language, and some of those dialects are far more complicated than others, but it does not mean it will not be understood.

The same OwnGoal that reported that Dennis said he won't be available for us in AFCON?

Is that a credible source of any news?

What baffles me is that same method he adopted while recruiting rohr...with what we got from rohr it means the system is not a complete success despite been recommended by Renowed Wenger why ply same route again this time around

Keep doing something over and all over again and expect a different results
Wish we can have an unbiased and corrupt free indigenous coach which is also ambitious...there will be no need for foreign coaches

He says a lot of things that are well and truly ridiculous

My mother is from Asaba, I have met people from Kwale and they do not speak any variance of Igbo that an Igbo man cannot understand the substance of.

He go just come here dey talk like say na small children he dey talk to, or as if he is the only one familiar with Delta state.

Well if I were to b pinnick I would av chilled till after d afcon tourney and c what d coaching crew can offer,style of play and d likes...if dey re convincing with deir style of play and pleasing to d fans..I will give eguavoen a two year contract,however pinick is not ready to gamble on DT,cos DT might dashed his wish of employing a foreign coach cos he knows dt if d team does well Cameroon,it will b too difficult on him to impose a foreign coach for d eagles

This reply goes to komekn , the quack historian. I advice you stick to football for now and not delve into issues you know absolutely nothing about.

While Kwale identifies as a separate tribe they ,however , speaks proper Igbo an average Igbuzor , Asaba , Ogwashi Ukwu or Iselle Azagba man can understand. In fact , both culturally and socially Kwale is very Igbotic. I lived with them is Bini for over 5yrs.

Their social hierachy is set up like a typical Igbo village...I know them inside out but I respect what people show to identify with. So , there , if you dont know anything about language classifications I suggest you do a little research before you go public because Kwale/Ukwuani( an Igbo word meaning southward lands or foot of the land). Again , today , many of them dont consider themselves Igbo while others like Osita Osita Emordi are proud Igbo. Don't confuse the Bini attires you see on their traditional rulers ,which was borrowed from Portuguese Rev father's cassok.

Furthermore , I , an Anambra person understands Ukwuani better than Owerri. Shocking eh!

Thank you

Most words in kwale like bia which is come ,efere which is plate,ngaji which is spoon and many more are same with igbo

I know there is a strong Igbo denials in Ukwuani , but your language is very Igbotic....I dont want to go into origin because that will open a debate none is ready for. Many communities in Anioma are ancient Igboid groups who have their origin in earliest Igbo arrivals to the Niger Delta , some were migration from a lot of Anambra and Imo villages , some were from neighboring Anioma towns and other are very little migration from Edoid tribes. You wonder why Igbo language survived 100% in that areas, despite Bini overwhelming influence in the 1500s.

Hmmm

My language is very igbotic and that’s fact

You are right .

zuchyblink:
He didn't condemn foreign based players,the point is that foreign based players are over-rated. Cameroon's first two were mainly home based. Cameroon's and Africa's most dreaded team to the world cup(1990) was 50% home based. You must not argue everything even from a tactician who knows African football like Pitso. More African based footballers have touched international laurels more than foreign based players in Africa

Would you please speak louder.
I am sure he didn't hear you.
Or maybe he doesn't want to hear

jihday:
whoever wrote this is heavily biased, mentioned Senegal and Algeria but comfortably forgot Cameroon who always win with their foreign based players

Last I check, Cameroon reach the quarter final of the world cup with home based players in 1990
Cameroon had a good performance in 1982 as well with home based players only.

But ever since Cameroon started to rely on foreign based players, they have nothing to show for it in the world cup stage.

Nomyth:
Hmmm

What if Eguavon wins or get to the final of afcon with impressive performances
and some of the players are selected in the team of the tournament.
At this point nobody will care about this new foreign coach with a mediocre vc.
they should not sign any agreement with him till after afcon.
It should be a pre contract
and the contract should be scrutinized by a Lawyer and the sports minister
If we decide to sack him or not employ him at all we dont want to pay him for a year
while he is not working for us all because of the contract he signed.
He is not even familiar with Nigerian or African football and his track record is even mediocre.
If it was ten haag the coach of Ajax at least we know we are having a young, dynamic coach that
is full of ideas whose football philosophy matches our own (Westerhoof is from holland
Let us sink and swim with Eguavon
foreing coach should be after the world cup

Mujtahida:
1990? How many professionals did any African countries have playing abroad that they could have 50% foreign based players? At that time, it was 80% local, 20% foreign based. Do you know what football in 1990 looked like? Have you seen footages of matches played then? The pitches and all? In the whole of English football, how many foreign players were there?

There's nothing to this argument. It's empty sentimental talk. Correlation does not mean causation.

Watch Cameroon beat Argentina in the world cup 1990. Tell me if the football in 1990 is different from the one today.
How old are you by the way? Do you think 1990 is the stone age ?

Guys guys, i want to know, who is the greatest nigerian player ever? I'm doing a research. Andrew and co i greet you all

Ppogbae:
This world cup cycle, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso were eliminated. Last cycle, it was Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Algeria that were booted out. With our limited slots, we unfortunately have to deal with the elimination of countries that could otherwise compete on the world stage.

They have been competing in the world cup for ages with nothing to show for it.

Na wa o, make I study image to know Ademola Lookman is not an attacking midfielder

A little late but I did MFM vs Remo Stars highlights. First game of the season, nice football played


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDt_ZnJPeeY

Mfm doing like they aren't at the echelon of local league football in the country. No defensive structure. While Remo barely looked like they came with any formation.

Either way, Akwa Ibom is blessed with good leaders.
