I should not be saying this because I don't like putting a player down to praise another, but this guy is better than Igoh Ogbu, Awaziem and Ajayi.

ChrisKels:
Lookman is mature and cultured. Now we know why the childish one is playing in Turkey in his prime. He should be sent home.

Your striking partner told you to take things easy that you already have two goals and there was no need to be over stressing, and you started throwing stewpid tantrums as if he was competing with you for anything. Osimhen should be banned from the national team abeg.

If you never played this game, you will never understand how nauseating it is to have a player with Osimhen's attitude in your team. Such people make you doubt your abilities as a player with their incessant complains.

Goke7:
This is bulshit and very unprofessional from Lookman, let him try it against Algeria who can equalise the yeye two goals he was talking about. So it’s now a crime to be hungry for more goals because someone has two. Shebi it’s because it was Mozambique. Osihmen you guys are bashing is the one that’s more mature to know that after what happened against Tunisia it’s the wisest thing to pump in as more goals as possible. This gentle nature of Lookman that’s deceiving all of you, I will be here to mock all those that will complain again by the time the same Lookman starts playing like the way he was doing during the wcq and some were already saying he should be benched. You folks forget the past easily. Make una continue

ChrisKels:
Make dem send that boy home or bench him, after all he has already dropped his accreditation and said he wants to quit the national team.

In Igbo we say, "arusi kpakaria ike ka okwesiri, egosi ya osisi ejiri pia ya" = " when a deity starts misbehaving, we point the deity to the log of wood where it was carved from."

That way, you remind the deity that it can be abandoned for another deity carved from same log of wood if it keeps misbehaving.

No be by post, Lookman go do nonsense finish, come use posts and calmness dey blur una eyes. Na by posts?

I like Lookman, but make una dey use head sometimes, person go make another person vex, come dey do calm calm after the whole thing come make the other person look like villain.

Osimhen should retire after this tournament, whether we win or not, whether he breaks Yekini's record or not. The both are useless to me at this point abeg.

Everywhere go good.

One of the best AFCON quarterfinal matchups of the modern era:

MLI 🇲🇱 vs. 🇸🇳 SEN
CAM 🇨🇲 vs. 🇲🇦 MOR
ALG 🇩🇿 vs. 🇳🇬 NGA
EGY 🇪🇬 vs. 🇨🇮 CIV . Up super eagles .

BankyGee:
How person wan come dey take you seriously for this thread now? Believing clowns and agendists over thinking and analyzing. You're more of an agendist than a Super Eagles fan.

Odunayaw:
You refuse to add the context that he was asking the GK to return to his team's side of the pitch for training.

minfelix:
Ahmed Mido, as at Afcon 2006 was the star boy of Egyptian team…coach sub him, he started acting aggressively at the coach, na once Hassan Shehatta sent him away from camp, Egypt went ahead and won that tournament…..nobody have the right to charge and act aggressively on the pitch of play…it is unethical and unprofessional…..someone posted so many case scenario of team mates charging at each other aggressively on the pitch in a bid to justify that its not only Osimhen that has done such…..in those video i saw ref issuing out red card to team mates for fighting themselves…lets say Lookman charged back at Osimhen e sure me say Osimhen will further aggravate that scene and surely ref will send them off the pitch…so what is the point

ChrisKels:
Adegoke rest abeg. We were in control of the game. Yes, Osimhen was right to call for more goals, but Lookman wasn't wrong to ask to take things easy as the shout on Bruno was disrespectful, but Osimhen was totally wrong to have reacted childishly the way he did.

When he couldn't stand it that someone stood up to him and asked him to calm down by reminding him casually that he had scored twice. His ego was hurt and he asked to be substituted.

It was a culmination of three different run of plays where he didn't receive the ball that led him to yell at Bruno. Ademola didn't release the ball to him at one point which was similar to positions that ademola likes to shoot from, the next was Bright not passing to him even when it looked like Bright was in a better position to shoot. The third that hurt him the most was Bruno's own. When you watch the replay ademola also waved at Bruno for a pass and the pass didn't come too.

But the king took it to heart and poured out his emotions. The only person who had the guts to look at him squarely and asked him to calm down was Lookman. He was hurt by the audacity, immediately he will turn back again to meet lookman and tell him football is a team game , that is to remind him of the moment lookman failed to pass as well , and in lookman quick self defense he made him realize he has scored two. Let the others play . We are in control. He was hurt because the rightful person to say those words to him put it to him. His heart couldn't swallow it, he will signal to the bench and asked to be substituted. While we had two more attacking plays, he failed to join in the play .

Then comes the end of the game , he will walk straight to the tunnel, leaving the team , this is the MAN (not boy)talking about team play.

His emotions will get the better of him that he would leave the team behind and go to the bus. While the other guy who could be hurt will muster courage and speak no ills about him. Giving him praises and kudos like he loves. Posting him on social media to show oneness and unity.

But what he failed to understand was the gravity of his action and how Nigerians will take it, he saw that we didn't take it lightly with him. We didn't appreciate how he shouted at lookman. He equally realized how much loved lookman is without forcing it. He realized lookman' soft power over his.

Goke7:
I no go rest make Lookman try that shit against Algeria whether things no go blur for am. He suppose chop better slap for that yeye talk. I no get time. Where was the same Lookman when we played SA away in the wcq, where was he against Congo? If he no sabi talk make e getat.

TheSuperNerd:
No need for this @emboldened

Osimhen wont walk out on living his Super Eagles dream because of one night of misunderstanding.

I dont care if others dont see it or have lost sight of it. But ever since 2015, it was clear a true Super Star was born to us in the beautiful game. One who would go on to make the Super Eagles a feared name again. One who would bring so much fire, power, glory and pride to the Number 9 Jersey again.

Osimhen is the Pride of Nigerian football even with all the misunderstandings. Nothing can erase this truth... and I am sure he understands that his desire and love for the Super Eagles Colors is bigger than any misunderstanding.

So please, dont sound like this because of folks in here who are painting Osimhen as a Villain. Just ignore and dont argue much again. The Truth is like a Lion. It will always defend itself. This is something Osimhen and Truth have in common.

Odunayaw:
+1

Glory to God

M7even:
Lookman was out of form . Same way Osimhen was at the last AFCON in ivory coast where he scored 1 goal.

As a Nigerian striker in AFCON you should be scoring 4 to 5 goals in the tournament. Ighalo did it in 2019. But when you want to talk you'd say work rate. As if work rate is the primary obligation of a striker. Then you'd make room for excuses on his blunders and misses, as well as his offside awareness. Nobody is perfect including king Osimhen

Toylove:
Nawa o, it will take another 25 years to see another person like osimhen. When he is not Lionel Messi.

jihday:
I hope he’s a good player, we need to phase out Ajayi and Awaziem

do4luv14:
Phase out defenders for Midfielder

Clint02:
Omo. We'll flog Algeria.
Our defence just needs to be tight.
