The issue here is not about whether Lookman messed up the goal scoring opportunity that Osimhen had. It is about the reaction of Osimhen towards his compatriots or fellow teammates on the pitch. Everywhere in the world we've had instances where goal scoring chances were woefully bungled by players but that doesn't mean Osimhen should react in that unruly outburst to the extent that it looked like he was going to fight Lookman, haba mana Osimhen! Person wey assist you twice to score. Ok if that one na passion or warrior spirit as Mikel the cup mouth talk, next time make dem allow Osimhen make he carry Cutlass or matchet go play match since him be warrior.
Beside wetin kon concern naija own inside hin misbehaviour wey e kon de troway accreditation card, na naija no gree pass am ball. Osimhen gyara don Allah.

Which yeye warrior spirit is that, man?! Abeg, who cursed these people to always reason awkwardly like this?! Warrior spirit my foot! Osimhen needs to be told the bitter truth—if he continues with that kind of attitude, his downfall is imminent. He needs to be very careful.

Which goal did he score in the ongoing AFCON that Lookman did not contribute to? We are the ones hailing him, and if he begins to see himself as bigger than the team (the Super Eagles) and Nigeria,we will gladly put him where he belongs—a nobody!

Wetin dey worry that boy?! Shey Lookman wa kere ninu aye ni!

hmmmm vini is on another level,checkout vini outside boot assists...something demola can learn also

I will rather buy Lookman than Osimehin. Lookman plays like Messi. Osimehin like Remdel Falcao. Suitable for coaches like Jose Mourinho. But d two get anger issues.

Real Madrid should sign Lookman . He will bench that English guy and a will be another Vinicius Junior in making.

This is the same I said when Daniel Rhega posted about this on his FB page.

Oshimen is a fighter and a very aggressive football striker who gives his all while on the pitch.

Sometimes, we get angry on the pitch in circumstances like these.
But novice rushed and condemn the guy.

Warrior spirit until he beats someone up on the pitch one day...


Are we playing football or fighting war?

The aggression is too much. He must tame his dragon.

It's not fair on osimeh or his talent to encourage him to continue his "warrior spirit" especially considering how it has limited his career and cost him so far!

You're right here bro...

Osimhen's Ego is like the size of a Mammoth...

His temper is short-fused...

His EQ ratio is -10...

He knows we can't do without him that's why he walks with raised shoulders and growing wings...

But one day...

RichBoy247:
Why do these people never ever say the truth? I think it is in their ancestry.

Someone assisted you to score two goals, you still fought him for not assisting you more. I wonder how they manage their land

Which people?

Bini people?

Please do not bring "Ancestry" "Ethnicity" or "Religion" into the mix when talking about our National teams ....

I take God beg you.

The only factors uniting us should not be contaminated with bigotry.

The factors are; Sports,Entertainment,fine women,food and drinks; these five should be left out of politics,tribe and religion...

There's the only place we unwind in unity.

You wan spoil am for us?

Warrior spirit my a$$

Warrior spirit my a$$. Could he have tried that if Pep or Mourinho was coaching the super eagles....

Anyone that quote me unnecessarily now...

I'm blocking them off. That's my new Year resolution. I'm starting with you this year.


Calling on Seun to make the block button permanent!

Lol. Your blood too dey hot. The guy actually agreed with everything you said. The sarcasm in his post just flew over your head.

Olat4421:
Whenever i hear mikel speaks I just used to lolz like I thought dis guy grew up in jos, why is he speaking like he was born and bred in yankee

he don dey Jand over 15 yrs na ....na norms

This Mikel with his fake accent

He should grow up and stop pretending like he can’t speak like a Nigerian…
Smh

Starz825:
he don dey Jand over 15 yrs na ....na norms

There’s absolute no way someone who grew up in Nigeria would lose their Nigeria accent..

people that left Nigeria whe they were barely 15 have become adults and spent all their lives in UK, Nigeria , Canada can switch to Nigerian English and speak it perfectly even with pidgin

Mikel is definitely pretending

spencekat:
He later told him the truth. You didn't read all.

That is called double standards..... 2 faced talks.

Not like that
The more he hear them speak
The more he tend to speak like them

His own accent is special
A blend of Russian (his wife accent), English and Nigerian accent

Hehehe. Madrid and lookman should never be in the same sentence.

Lol, you really falling for this thing?

First, I’ve been living outside the country for quite a good time now.. though I can speak some American accents but doesn’t mean I can’t automatically switch back to Nigerian accents and flow like I never ever left Nigeria. I have my friends and families that have spent 20 years and more in the US and though they can speak American accent but they easily switch back to naija and pidgin and flow like they never ever left Nigeria .
Abegggi

What of davido, shey dem no born am for US ni? He no Dey speak pidgin?
What of Tiwa savage and the rest.?
What of the other football players ? What of Okocha? What of Kanu?
Mikel accent is not even pure sweet sef, na by force accent he dey speak

helinues:
The guys have moved on pass that.

Osimhen might have overreacted but it was necessary. It's the unnecessary holding ball from our wingers that cost us the world cup

What happened that day is an embarrasment to the nation

Something he cannot do at club level to the extent that it was the opposition player trying to hold him.

Anyway, he's got just 3yrs left with the national team

LibertyRep:
They won't tell him the bitter truth. What warrior spirit' makes you talk like that to your teammate and disrespect your skipo?

What's the 'warrior spirit' in demanding to be subbed? if the coach had not done his bidding, perhaps he would have walked away from the field on his own.

What's the : warrior ' spirit in not celebrating with your team after a resounding win?

Some even called it passion, sugarcoating a gutter behaviour with turenshi.

Shebi when he cussed and insulted Finidi, you all clapped for him.

Continue.

They're just lying to him and themselves. Nigeria made Osimhen, he didn't make Nigeria. He's been disrespectful and needs to be called to order. He should fear the day he'd be out of form. Pride goes before a fall.
