Mujtahida:
I don't just talk oo. 👇👇👇Expressing the same sentiment as I did this morning on Ghaddafi. Please you guys should also go and read about how Ghaddafi intervened last minute for Libya to host Afcon 82 after Ghana pulled out for financial reasons

Partially you're right but I hope you know that Libyans hated Ghaddafi to the core? Even till date.

Yes he was a true pan-african but not a good nationalist. Most pan-african leaders end up loved by other countries and hated in their own country. Thabo Mbeki, Kenyatta and to a lesser extent Obasanjo all suffered the same fate as well.

Ghaddafi bleeped up when he became too pan-african and aloof to his own country. When the Arab spring caught up with him, he tried to brutally crack down on it, which failed because NATO started backing the uprising that eventually killed him.

Point is, his own people killed him because he became more of a globalist than an actual leader. Forget all these crap about one Africa and all that, Africans generally are very tribal and nationalistic people.

I would be awaiting his statement, my dear Haram Route 1 Coach Elyte. The Libyans' haram cannot match up in class to your haram.
Right now, I look forward to hearing the team has touched down safely.

It is well.

elyte89:
My lawyer(Mujtahida) will release a full statement about the incident later today.Thank you for concerns.

Kog45:
Thank God the boys are coming back home safely…..Ekong did yeoman job and kudos to him for leading the team very well but my man Goke7,are you saying Christian Chuckwu,Stephen Keshi and Sunday Oliseh of old eagles would have played the match and even beg NFF? capital NO…..Keshi especially always supports his colleagues in any situation and Nigeria appreciated him more for that….In this situation,I don’t see any captains that would tell his colleagues to go ahead with the game

Egbon all those players you mention dem no be butty o, they endured harder times and things for this country, remember their fortunes and livelihood were more tied to the national team than this generation that won't be bothered much if they don't play for the country. That allowee dem na the koko o, it's much later players like Oliseh and co after many years in Europe that made them more comfortable. A generation that cut their tracksuit trousers into shorts to play. Those men different o.

The Libyan hate on Ghadaffi from within was also American-fueled but this is all I will say on it. I wish not to discuss further to avoid digression.

Spot on
Same thing happened here with the American inspired hate of GEJ
But like you said, let's not digress

Pls go and read about Stephen Keshi….Keshi single-handedly sacked very strong Alex Akinyemi as Sports minister….cutting tracksuits was to safe the country from CAF hammer,not that they are lily livery.

Make I borrow Libya small sense, they messed up by delaying the players at the airport. All they needed to do to collect whatever revenge was not to delay the boys at the airport, First they already had that isakaba bus already, make sure the seats are not even enough make the eagles lap themselves and take them to a yeye hotel, then off light by midnight make the boys sweat small, then carry them go yeye pitch to train and to play the match.

The idea is simple, once the players are already in the country they have no choice but to play the match but once you held them at the airport you gave intelligent and oyinbo folks like Ekong to shout hostage situation and no European club will never want to hear that their player is being held unecessary against their will. Libya no get sense. Better luck next time. phew

at least they cared about CAF hammer, these ones nko

Goke7:
@M7even this is what am taking about ok?

Leave all this. So when they finished the match in uyo did their plane pick them from uyo port or they still traveled back to ph. if they traveled back to ph and under what circumstances, was there proper security and logistics.

It's a case of do me I do you. But they underestimated the power of Nigerian cry. For a country that has been plagued with many years of civil war, whatever goal they have for international acceptance as a peaceful and progressive society have been scruffled by Nigeria's social media power

Goke7:

It was a very different scenario…..at home the curator forgot the shorts and compare to a place they are held hostage

typicalgamer:
These guy needs a better technique coach
Which can improve his productivity because all these talks about dribbling na for him pocket only stats that matters is G/A nothing else

Make we stop to they hype the man abeg so he fit increase his productivity

Or we have a 5 star ⭐️ dribbler on our hands and we’re ok with him just dribbling wtf 🤬

Bro should learn synergy with his teammates and become either an assist merchant let top 9 have the finishing touch

Or be a cut in and strike like robben

Wtf is dribbling compared to the talent he has at his disposal his productivity is very very very very poor
And that’s the truth

He became Europe's top dribbler playing for Sevilla.
And he is their most creative outlet.

Don't ever think he is not productive.
Don't let a poor study determine your conclusions.

He should have had three goal by now,
I saw those goals.
I have also seen his shooting.

His goal chances creation is not poor.
I have seen his team.
And I know the quality that surrounds him at present.

Don't let a poor study determine what you make of him.
He has always been a fantastic dribbler, but became Europe's best, playing for Sevilla.
Improve the quality around him and see him shine the more, football is team sports.

And finally...

Don't think that his branding as highly technical has got only to do with his dribbling skills.
His shooting, his passing, are also included.

I hope you remember Enyeama was booted out of the team for standing up for his players' rights. The same Oliseh was even coach, I bet you if Eguavien was not the level-headed type we may be hearing different stories today. The Eagles have survived similar situations in time past and gone ahead to play even hours to the game.

semid4lyfe:
That Ekong, I posted after the AFCON that he's a potential Super Eagles coach.

Excellent on the pitch, and very measured, speaks so well and does not talk recklessly off it.

Fantastic guy.

I loved how he handled everything, also keeping out an eye around him while his guys rested. He can never go wrong imo going forward. The Libyan but more than their tiny mouth could chew

Odunayaw:
Motsepe is very incompetent

Man is begging the offended to play instead of talking to the offenders to do what is right. Im pissed. If na SA will he be begging the Safa boss? That man has debted whatever he has left of his tenure.

You can say it is American-fueled because it served America's interests. But the truth is that there are always bonafide issues behind any uprising.

Your eyes are only on America because you didn't live in Libya to experience the actual issues that caused them to revolt. Generally people like leaders that have a nationalistic appeal, if you don't have it, it won't belong before you find yourself in hot-water. The only thing that might save you is if you have a politically divided country with a set of people that will always back you.

This same phenomenon caught up with Obama himself which made Democrats to lose in 2016 to Trump with his 'America First' campaign slogan. Even the Democrats are starting to throw out some of their long-held policies like immigration and foreign assistance. Americans as with everyone else generally are moving away from cosmopolitan ideologies.

Let CAF go ahead and do their inquiry and let us know the entire truth. Let the Libyans tell us how many hours they were held hostage in Nigeria

I knw even understand wetin him mean by saying that Ghadafi was too pan African 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like say if the late Libyan leader was European em go send nations outside of his continent? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

No be the same seed of hatred they planted against Jona who was wise enough to leave the seat of power for buhari if not Libya for better pass Nigeria by now

I repeat it,the Libya situation is different…I can’t remember any similar circumstances that we are held hostage,not able to train for a match.

My point no captains will beg his players to play in such extreme conditions.

Libyans over did their own abeg. To a point I was praying that they don’t even dare go physical on our players because those Arabs are capable of anything evil especially when majority of our players are Christians

i saw a documentary on what the americans and Brits did to Iran and immediately as i watched on, i was seeing same playbook in Nigeria despite being 60years apart. Evil powers

TBH, Musa ought to have retired by now, if not for selfish reasons. The team has moved on. We have Lookman who is a Musa pro-max. Ekong on the other hand is doing an excellent job as a captain.

Charles baba,very terrible and terrifying situation for any ones to witness,like war

Libya is a shithole.

From their antics in the last match, I already imagined their way of life...

I rightly and permanently added them to my black book...

I have a bossom friend in Libya (till today won't understand why Libya of all places, but he say hustle)

He already downloaded all the atrocities of Libyan nationals to foreigners expecially blacks. I already know their way and when I saw their football antics I understood better who they are.

Although, na my brothers and sisters dey use their leg Waka go there. So anything dem see, make dem manage, but the tales I've heard about the doings in that desert, no Nigerian should even be passing in front of that country...

A shame they have brought themselves. A national and international disgrace...

I spit on libyans. Tueh.

TheSuperNerd:
....Ekene Ezenwa, Joetex Frimpong, Michael Ochei (scorer of the winner in the semis vs USMA in 2003), Romanus Orjinta, Onyekachi Okonkwo, Yusuf Mohammed (#7), Ajibade Omolade, etc.

Their names are etched forever in my head. Heroes eternal for me.

Modified: How dare I forget to include Dele Aiyenugba? Ahhh forgive me history.

You forgot Vincent Enyeama

You tell us. Since you already have a conclusion that it was retaliatory. You should answer your questions
