Chukwueze >> Lookman. Sam had better bond and chemistry with Osimhen than lookman does. Lookman likes to hold on to the ball unevenly , is selfish and wants to be a headliners hero. That hat trick was a year ago , he better step up or step out . Players full Nigeria home and diaspora

Arokodare 2 - 2 Akor

Both have scored one of their goals in similar circumstance -- a gift

Akor seems like a better partner to Osimhen as is stands, but the long battle continues. Onuachu, Sadiq, Awoniyi, Dessers, and Moffi on standby as it stands.

Lookman was immense against Gabon, provided several passes to Osimhen. But there is just something about his passes, maybe a little heavy, maybe a little out of position than Osimhen is used to.

kai.. i dey enjoy your imputs. i'm learning

So Tiv people would problably have given us Dominic Iorfa jnr if he didn't stall when we wanted him.

Mujtahida:
No. Simon is Idoma. Amokachi is mixed. Idoma father and Tiv mum. Tiv people have given us the Kpakor brothers (Moses and Terfa) , Barnabas Imenger, Edward Anyakegh (Oman 95 u-17 tourney), Dominic Iorfa.

Francisca Ordega, the Falcon player is Tiv.

In the 90s BCC Lions and Lobi dominated in the Nigerian league.

But my people, nothing nothing. E dey pain me.

AFTER 4 YEARS, Boniface wedding plan COLLAPSE 👇

💍 🇳🇬 Victor Boniface was about to marry Norwegian Rikke Ermin, but the wedding collapsed after a major dispute.

🇳🇴 Ermin insisted on getting married without a PRENUP, which meant that in case of divorce, everything would be split 50/50.

😎 Boniface didn’t object, because he simply doesn’t own anything in his name. All his assets are registered under his mother’s name!

😱 When Ermin found this out, she decided to back out and cancelled the wedding, ending a 4-year relationship.

Yes ooo. I was born and brought up in makurdi. So I know a little about these things.

After Atlanta 96, a street in makurdi was renamed Daniel Amokachi Street.

Tiv people are usually strong. Very good farmers.

He really tried to make a goal for Osimhen but his play lacked smoothness but I see him being pivotal tomorrow.

Chukwueze unlike his game against Benin returned to his old pattern of trying to do too much instead of keeping it simple.

and longevity of strikers
I think this is actually closer to the truth. For example, Ndidi has been in the NT since 2015 and has 70 caps. I don’t think we have any current forward with even up to 30 caps except Osimhen

See how Akor Adams sneaked in and claimed the role of a supporting striker. 3 games, 2 goals. And he's never invincible. He's an Eagle.

He's pushed Tolu to the bench and made us forget Dessers and the rest.


What a dream for him.

Somehow since Amokachi, Idoma people have consistently produced top players for us:
Onazi
Moses Simon
Now Akor.

I'm from the middle belt but my ethnic group has never produced one player for Nigeria although I'm hoping that this my son who is just less than two years and is always holding ball in his hands, fit come become goalkeeper for naija ooo. 😂😂😂
I thought akor Adams is from Niger state? Although his name does sound Idoma🤔
I'm from the middle belt too (Idoma).
permit me to ask, what tribe are you sir?

Omo. Nwabali fit no start o.

I know I get beef with am because of certain antics of his, but hmmm. I hope Okoye won't get jittery again if he has to step in.
If my memory serves me right, I’m not sure Nwabali has faced serious shots in recent times. The goals he conceded were mumu goals which he could have done better

He was limping for some part of the match with Gabon after one of those his stunts I even thought he will be subbed. Won’t be surprised if he doesn’t achieve full fitness. That one na self harm for himself cause no body send am message to dribble anybody

He actually refused to be subbed in the Gabon game perhaps seeing the risk to his starting place

Ndidi does not have 70 caps and Iwobi does not have 90 caps.

Look, the NFF can flunk certain records, but I expect this thread to continue to shine as the standard bearer for "setting the records straight".

Everything don turn system.
I just dey imagine Pep turning Roberto Carlos or Marcelo into inverted full back. Football fans for miss alot
There's a video of Henry where he said that while he was at Barcelona, he was not getting joy on one wing, so he switched. He said immediately he did that, Pep removed him.


Maybe under Pep, that kind run Benjamin made will not be permitted as everybody has their place and space

Lookman was not selfish in the last match. He laid it nicely for Osimhen but Osimhen fluffed it.

That's an Idoma name. No Niger man bears Akor. Once you see Akor, it's either the person is Idoma or Igala.

I doubt you are Idoma. How can you say you are Idoma and yet say that you thought Akor is from Niger.

As in if an Igbo guy says that he thinks someone bearing Eze is from Akwa Ibom, you'd surely doubt whether that person is really Igbo

Do you know Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi made their NT debut on the same day, in the same game vs DR Congo way back in 2015?

Same opponent that marked the Super Eagles debuts of Wilfred Ndidi and Alexander Iwobi stand in the way of our WC ambitions.

We lost that day under Oliseh. 2-0 in Belgium. But it was just a friendly.
Tomorrow, we play a high stakes game and the debutants of 2015 will be Nigeria's battle hardened Midfield duo come sunday itching to lead us to victory.



Current Super Eagles players who also featured in that game are:

- Moses Simon (his 5th cap)
- William Troost Ekong (his 4th cap)
