my blood is just rushing as if these matches are next week…guy calm down calm down abeg…
Let me do small jigijigi pre-match march analysis 😀

March day 5 March 2025
1. SA v Lesotho(kai SA go too beat those guys like tiff) but i just wish Lesotho can hold them to a draw..as for them beating SA in johanesburg 🤣 its like telling me to walk on water..i just need anything that can help reduce that 4points gap those 3guys are having(Ben,Rwa,SA)

2. Zim v Ben(can this Zim boys just turn to coconut head and beat Genort rohr or better still hold them to a draw afterall they also need to move away from the bottom spot) just do anything to prevent Benin from attaining a 10point


3. Rwa v Nig (our away match to Rwa at the afcon qualifiers showed that if we needed a result we will go for it…we pushed them hard in front of their president that day, even with Lookman’s clean header goal that was disallowed, still dey pain me, a determined 9ja guys suppose go there and pip these guys 1-0, jus the way Amodu did in 2010 WCQ against a stubborn Kenya side(Kenya 2-3Nig,Martins late goal in Kasarani)..and also the way Keshi did in 2014 WCQ against a stubborn Kenya…(Ken 0-1 Nig, ahmed Musa goal in kasarani stadium)

from first game in march on paper,SA will likely extend their point to 10points…Lesotho no follow jare, but it will be a very very huge miracle and favour to 9ja if Lesotho clip them, aah e don b for them b that


Second Match day 6 March 2025

1. Nig v Zim(thank you Zim for helping us hold benin to a draw or possibly winning them, oya collect beating for uyo, sharp sharp no time!!


2. Ben v SA(this match will give Nigeria a huge hope, either SA draw or loose to Benin at the Felix Houphuet stadium) Benin and Rohr will sweat to either win or draw this match, remember Zimbabwe pour sand for their garri in match day 5…so they wont wanna looseguard against SA

3. Rwa v Les (chai, Lesotho atleast them this one no b SA or Nigeria…just go to kigali and park the bus🤣 and survive with a draw)


if result go this my jigijigi way🤣🤣..Nigeria will likely be trailing anyone leading the group with either 1 or 2points

its getting hot 🥵 🔥 🔥

Egbon there was assist against CIV at the 2024 AFCON, it was too beautiful!!! I think it was Iroha with the goal. Also Yekini's assist to Siasia against Argentina at US 94. Not rating them but just remembering them.
Yes that assist to Iroha was a master class,against CIV semi final Afcon 1994.

Watch Nigeria vs Cameroon
swears, it was the next i switched to watch after the angola/9ja highlight…i went for those extended highlights…this game for end 3-0, ajayi goal ruled offside really gave us this sense of “we can finish this cameroon team”…bassey was so solid in that match meehn…
after that i switched to the 9ja/SA highlight…omo make i no lie Nwabali saved us big time against SA..those guys would have been up by 2-3 goals against us in the first half…so many point and kill shots but Nwabali was calm…if na Uzoho or Okoye, forget those first half rush would have freaked us out…one thing this SA has always been using to egde us since 2015 till date is 1-l/2 short passes to destabilize our midfield.

Afcon 2019 Qualifiers SA 1-1 Nig(watch that build up to their equalizer omo e b like where pain dey knock us
Afcon 2019 qualifiers Nig 0-2 SA same tikitaka short passes and knocking of the ball
Afcon 2015 qualifiers Nig 2-2 SA, same knocking of the ball they gave us.

Thats what we should expect from them in september oooo

I doubt we can beat SA in Joburg, at least à draw. The last games we played with them including at the last AFCON were very close to call.
we will need VAR in these games, our last away match in SA, with the presence of VAR,suppose to have ended SA 1-3 Nig…. musa and Isaac success canceled goals were huge fraud…

The AFCON 2019 qualifier that ended 1:1 was a robbery. Isaac Success scored 2 good goals that were both ruled offside. The referee apologised after the match anyway.

We don't want any apology this time around.....VAR should be a must but CAF reasoning sometimes get as ebi o

Beating Rwanda in Kigali and South Africa in Johannesburg damn important....that 6 points na the koko
The coach and the boys have to try hard and beat Rwanda to boost our confidence in winning SA in their home.
We don't need draw against Rwanda, but draw against SA is ok.

Na Peseiro style of play at AFCON make SA believe they are going to win us when next we meet,but thank God we have a new coach.

It's Jay Jay Okocha's assist to Iroha equalizer against CIV semifinals 1994 AFCON.
One of my best assists.

My best 3 assist I can easily remember :

1. Kanu's assist to Utata against Cameroon.
2.Okocha's assist to Iroha against CIV
3.Mikel's assist to Ighalo against Cameroon.

Cameroon and CIV seems to always make super eagles to dig deep.

Outside of African,
Ronaldinho's assist to Rivaldo against England 2002 world cup remains one of my all time best assist.

I don't know for you all but I personally prefer to play SA in SA than playing them here in Nigeria. I'm more confident of beating them in their beautiful stadiums because our boys perform better there than at home.

I would like him to stay and at least keep Heartland relevant in Nigerian football. Normally Heartland would be getting ready to go back to the NNL but now they are putting hands and feet on Enyimba grin

BTW i don't understand why Siasia doesn't have a job in the NPFL. That's just ridiculous

Amunike is damn GOOOOOD, in just short time and he get this boys playing beauty football with sexy penetrating passes and orgasmic dribbles! Kudos to Him.
He n his team were unlucky vs My darling Kwara United team @Rashidi Yekini stadium Ilorin some weeks back, they also outplayed Kwara United.

Are you Ilorin based man cuz I don dey follow Kwara United tey tey o.....from Water Corporation as a kid with my papa to Kwara Utility fc,later Kwara bomber then we are landlord in division two for years.

Facts we are not able to secure promotion until we bought Exide fc of Ibadan slot and changed the name to Kwara United to make it to division one and Kwara Star fc a private owned by Olusola Adekanola bought Kwara bomber place in division two......this led to fierce rivalry between Kwara United and Kwara Star,also we have NIPOST fc and Doyin babes owned by Chief Samuel Adedoyin.It was fun then watching NPFL in Kwara Mini stadium which was later remodeled by Bukola Saraki to modern main bowl stadium but now Rashidi Yekini Main bowl but the stadium is now George Agbazikah Innih stadium complex.

Kwara United had his best years between 1996 to early 2000s with CAF confederation cup participation and lost out to Zamalek....this team produced good players......the first eleven players are as follows

1.Yakubu Haruna.. Goalkeeper
2.Friday Ejedegba...RB
3.Monday Obaze....LB
4.Sani Abacha.........CB
5=Alphonsus Ezimoha...CB
6=Oluwole Johnson.......DM
7=Sunday Johnson.......RW
8.Tony Alegbe.......AM
9.Christian Okonkwo....CF
10.Seyi Olofinjana....CM
11.Gabriel Melkam...LW

We also have Victor Gbenebeche a solid Keeper,Tolagbe Alanamu,Olu Adewumi,Kazeem Ahmed,Saheed Adeyinka,Rabiu Antiga,Waheed Olagunju,Anayo Onyenekwe,later Lati Alanamu,Balance Inawole,Taofeek Babatunde,Eniola Aiyejuyomi

Yes I watched Kwara United and Heartland when I was in Ilorin.I gave it to Amunike,good performance from away team.....I received Heartland team along Saadu Alanamu road at Abdulrazaq junction GRA and led them to Rotana hotel.I had bit talk with Amunike who is a friend to my bro a FIFA licensed agent.

Do not worry we go connect bro.

🔴⚪️ Kelechi #Iheanacho could still leave FC Sevilla in the coming days. He has inquiries from teams in England and other European clubs.

… but he will not join Venezia.

28 y/o striker with a contract valid until 2026.

Amunike needs some glory. Hesrtland won't give him that. Maybe Federation Cup. He needs a big team with pockets.

Siasia ought to be in the league mann. Could pick Bendel Insurance

The attitude towards that rwandan loss should never ever happen again. Infact if these guys can't spell rwanda in their home, then i won't consider them a serious contender for the afcon. If na morrocco jam that team na 5-0 in 1st half. Cos that is class. Anybody that wants to cook crappy excuses should be beaten with cords cos they did it at our backyard so we need return the favour.


Big margin
Clean sheet

I dunno why setting such goal is unrealistic to many nigerians when such is all about motivation and utilizing potential. Attitude killed that game totally.


Rwanda needs the Sao Tome treatment. That loss was embarrassing cos of how guys like Osayi and co behaved
