Osimhen made it through an open screening. He did not even make the first cut. It was an assistant that intervened and told Amunike to give Osimhen another shot and Amunike watched him closely and saw his quality.

If it is with this bent system, Osimhen won't go near.

Recommendation is not a free pass into a squad. It is to join the screening process among the selected ones.

In this case, even the coach did not select the players. Let us call a spade what it is. This is wrong and terrible. We have suffered recently in the U17 because of stopping the open screening process. It is the key ingredient that makes us stand out.

By the way, this is not about recommendation but a corrupt selection. The NFF should openly defend the selection process or hide their heads in shame.

Finito.

Fun fact did you know our 2019 u-17 main team

Lost twice to a group of players from delta state that came for the u-17 trials but in the end none of those players from delta state made the team 🤣

Some of the players were carried along to Brazil as fans i nearly faint

typicalgamer:


The best players don’t have transportation and hotel money to come to Abuja for trials

Not to mention the resources it’ll take to joining a top academy and have a slim shot at trials

Our future in youth football is not bright at all

The only player Yekini had real language understanding with is Amokachi and it’s Hausa language.

Yekini speak Hausa better than Yoruba,cuz of it he was more closer to Amokachi,so Amokachie was not beefing Yekini then but I can say Siasia fall out with Yekini after Cote d’voire match cus Yekini took it personal.

Siasia lost his position to Amokachie due to that missed,not due to his overall performance.Keshi was like no it happened in football and why Siasia should be turned to villain.After this the team camp broke into groups and Westerhoff saw it and called a meeting that no Siasia I did it for football reasoning.

Tactically Okocha was sacrificed for Siasia during US94 but things went soar before Italy match,Siasia had training bust up with Oliseh which made Westerhof to axed him from starting line up,some players are not happy with that decision.

Nigeria missing 96 Afcon,saw another strong group of players emerging from Atlanta 96 and did all they could do to block US 94 players from forming new nucleus of eagles.Checking out 98 WC team,injuries and poor friendlies matches brought Rufai,Yekini,Eguavoen,Okafor and Iroha back.

If you check it out Amokachi stabbed Keshi at the back during Afcon 2013 and stabbed Siasia on under 23 job….Oliseh love criticizing Keshi and Siasia at any given moment.This is to tell you the beefing in eagles.

I just hope they all support Amunike this time around

Na wa he don select players when them agents don drop alawee again lol nigeria my country

The NFF has a functioning under 15/16 team since Amaju era. The team is made up of the best young talent across the country. They were recently denied visa by Spain for a UEFA under 16 tournament. Read the news to know whatz up, not everything be fraud. Rest!

jihday:
you people should try to act reasonable na, there’s a tournament in few weeks time but you are here asking the coach to do open screening. There are academies scatter all over the country, Garba is a coach with plenty experience at youth level so you think unless egunje he can’t assemble 50 players ?

jihday:
I hate this thing Nigerians do, they see a headline and just conclude it’s definitely fraud at work. Never seen a bunch of people who hate their country so much like Nigerians

TheGoodJoe:


Some people's boys were left out and deal cancelled. That is my suspicion. Kwarapt folks everywhere I turn.

It is to shun football and focus on mechanic things. 😂

Marjoribanks:
I believe the NFF withdrew it based on Manu Garba's recommendation cos of the upcoming under 17 WAFU B.

typicalgamer:


You must be silly for saying this

If you took your son to the trials and they turned you back that the team is full

Same team that was claimed to be assembled few days ago then you wouldn’t be saying this

Amedino99:
it was a week long competition and it was for our u15. If they went for the tournament they would have been back and it would have been good preparation for the WAFU B and besides Manu's work does not extend to the u15 as they have a separate coach named Patrick bassey. There's another reason for it and knowing the NFF, I'm not sure we will hear the reason any time soon.

TheGoodJoe:


This time they did MRI screening before appointing coach.

typicalgamer:


You should act reasonable

We all know in 2026 there would be a World Cup in June

So you’re telling me nff knew about this wafu B u-17 tournament last week ??

You must be high is cheap ogogoro

jihday:
and you are very foolish for spitting rubbish, why will I take my son for a nonexistent trial? Do England or Spain do open screening or they just pick players from clubs?

jihday:
you were talking about Manu now you’ve jumped to NFF I’m sure now you know the drunk person

Yeah. Mourinho was more interested in three points, why we (City) were more interested in growing. Look at where Mourinho is today and look at what Guardiola went to achieve after some years. That is the answer. That is why we don't fret when we don't get results because we know along the way we will recoup success.

And it's same thing Madrid did to them, they controlled ball for more than 90mins, Yet Madrid took the win and marching, while they went home to dream again,

E b like say dis 94 set na enemies full dere,d only difference was Dey played for d badge ..dere was no unity among them


A top journalist just revealed now on Twitter space dt one of d reason y we lost the ticket to Ghana was because immediately amunike was introduced to d coaching team,eguavoen became scared and started fidgeting as if amunike was after his job…even on d match day against Ghana 🇬🇭,a certain a line up had been agreed by d coaching staff not until die minute ,Dey started cin anoda line up been paraded



If amunike / finidi wont cooperate and work for the team as one,Dey should not be given d job .

Why do we hold open trials for the best sprinters and Olympians all over the country to attend

But once it comes to soccer the coach knows best

TheGoodJoe:


The era is gone because of corrupt people running the system. It is now unfair and not balanced. The open screening can still be done and discover better players than those in academies. This is crap and I can smell it from miles away. Manu Garba did not assemble that team. Who did?

Did you even consider the time factor before going on 'rampage'?

Like we have a tourney soon and you want him to throw open the screening exercise. You should blame the incompetent people rather than Manu.
