Lolz.. The Southey hate us so much. They can't even hide it anymore

Osimhen was the lifewire of Gala in this match.. but Supersport, somehow, finds JOY using Sanè in the highlights thumbnail.

When you're Big you're Big

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. FIFA placing it there means they acknowledge the "good works" done by the NFF. Are you not aware FIFA is synonymous with Corruption as well?

Just, save your hopes for the Super Eagles' playoffs quest. Not this NFF issue.

Hmmm. Issorite. More grease to the hairless heads of Infantino and Pinnick.

lovewins:
This wouldn't bring any change, at least not the way most assume. The only way the NFF changes is by good people getting into the mess and changing it from the inside out. And the only way good people can get in is to change the voting composition of the NFF to wrest power from the cabal cause right now only 46 members vote for the NFF board and at least 37 of them are politicians. The goal is to dilute their voting power by increasing the number of delegates allowed to vote to at least 100. (The composition of the extra delegate makeup is another conversation all together). This is the only way to effect change. But it's naive to think someone is coming to save our football, nobody is.

Please what do you mean by good people? Do mean people who will not 'chop' or people who will chop and still work?

Because - make una no vex - I don't believe that good people as people who are incorruptible exist in naija oo. They might exist when outside government but once inside, na choppings oo. So goodness will be a matter of degree of the choppings.

Prosper Obah scores. LNZ Cherkasy leads 1-0. 74mins played.

Wait ooo. Where is humility? It's been long since he posted. I hope he's fine. He's a staunch and regular member of the thread.

Ovie Ejaria makes his 2nd la Liga start for Real Oviedo away at Girona.

Victor Orakpo on the bench for Montpellier vs Nancy in Ligue 2. He started their last game and assisted.
Naija lad, Jimmy Evans on the bench for Nancy.

First, good people exist in government, maybe not in the majority but they do exist. That's however wasn't my focus. I personally believe government should largely divest from sports in Nigeria as I believe it's the only way we'll see any meaningful progress. I have spoken about this before in details and will probably do more in future should it be necessary.

By good I mean people with a stake in the football ecosystem in Nigeria. If I were to suggest, I'll probably give votes to sponsors, increase the vote of media, referees association and players association. Our current model adopts State chairman as statutory members currently, I'll lobby owners of private clubs in the NPFL to get votes too. You can give every living Super Eagles and Super Falcons captain a vote. These are just examples of how we can fill up the voting block with persons who have a stake in seeing football in Nigeria succeed and not just politicians who are waiting for the next FIFA grant and FG largesse to share.

Your first line. They do exist but like you said, rare species.

Well said.

Maduka Okoye 2nd start since return from ban. Starts for Udinese vs Lecce in Serie A.

No be lie o 😂 you’re only good when you never see govt money

Mujtahida:
Chelle should invite this boy instead of Alhassan who has not played a single game under Chelle but is always making the team list.

Even Chrisantus is not getting enough game time

Alhassan came in as a sub against Rwanda in Kigali o. And yes, the boy should be invited.

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey start for Fulham away at Newcastle in the EPL.

Chukwueze still out injured with a calf injury picked up in the first half vs Benin. Main reason he had to be subbed at HT for Olakunle Olusegun.

There are fears he may miss the playoffs as well. Time will tell.

Bringing this back if FIFA's attention must be utilized well

No one is coming to save us

But it's naive to think someone is coming to save our football, nobody is.

With Samu's absence vs Arsenal and now Newcastle, it is obvious his calf injury is more serious than feared and his comeback time is potentially late november.

With Lookman back, I hope Chelle is not gonna move Simon to the RW. That would be atrocious. Move Iwobi to the right and let him cook. Put someone else, someone tactically valid in the middle.

Chuks' injury is coming at a really bad time. Just when he is connecting with Osimhen again onfield. Arrgggghh

Goke7:

I dey tell you oo. In my line of work I don see things oo and I know it's not unique to me. Any one who is in government or deals with its agencies or officials can testify.

So I often say that the Nigerian who preaches against corruption and I will believe him, is the one who has gone there and comes out with his integrity intact.

Any other person, na theory you dey oo. I go just dey look them dey laugh. Country wey 9 out of ten times, if your phone fall inside car or just miss, e don go be that.

"I watch all the players the world gives me and try to analyze"

If you want to play you have to be better than what we have. He said it all.

Maduka is just 45 minutes away from another Clean sheet.

Chai Bassey o

victornoah:
Maduka is just 45 minutes away from another Clean sheet.

Berisha:

Meanwhile that was really careless from Bassey. His third error leading to a shot on goal from the opponent this 25/26 season. He got lucky the first 2 times but isnt 3rd time lucky coz Murphy scores.

Bassey careless and casual leading to the goal against Fulham, that was horrible

QueenJazz:
Is a storm brewing? 👀

Honestly I hope so, if it means we're going to rejig the entire football association.

Lol, It has nothing to do with NFF. From the perspective of a regular European, that picture is a pretty depiction of FIFA's rural outreach projects. FIFA is likely very proud of that image FYI. The way you guys see things is very different from how Europeans do.

Btw, 1.2 million actually within budget for that pitch, if it's an actual FIFA standard synthetic pitch and not some substandard crap. Google the price of professional synthetic pitches.

Yes oo and that's a good criteria. He said that they have a data base of at least 500 Nigerian players. That tells us that most of the players we talk about here are known to the coaching crew.

It was an insightful exchange. Loved where he said he wants our players to have a warrior state of mind.


The man like Nwabali oo.

Watching this Parma goalkeeper... All I can say is Nigerian dey try.

BTW, this Okoye can't push Nwabali.

That’s why you will see so many critics of govt just go quiet of all sudden 😂 na that time you go hear e don collect one govt job or contract Dey clean mouth. You no go hear pim for their mouth again

Maduka Okoye concedes again with the last kick of the game. Udinese 3-2 Lecce.

3pts gained. No Cleansheet. Still seeking his first cleansheet since his return from the ban.

Interesting interview so all of Una wey no wan see Nwabali again coach say make Una take Una time o cos he doesn’t want nice guys as his players but warriors who are ready to die on the pitch and if possible beat the hell of any opponent wey Dey misbehave for pitch. He even said he’s ready to get on the pitch himself if possible to slap any anybody that touches his players, Chelle no Dey play o! I say make I warn Una 😂

I actually admire the way he stands by his players!

Zion Suzuki. Ghanaian-Japanese. Not Naija related ooo 😁

Anyway, he's an impressive young GK too. Not surprised he is Japan's #1 now.
