Heading into the UCL Knockout phase, no player has more POTM/MVP awards than Victor Osimhen

The content creators and influencers with insiders at FIFA, February 16 has come and gone without any verdict.

The NFF and their agbado lawyers should continue disgracing themselves

Na the people wey put mind for this FIFA verdict I just dey pity. Right now, my mind is on Women's AFCON.

It’s always the same people who don’t like anything positive that rush out to talk first. The moment a date passes without a verdict, you crawl out just to mock as if football cases are decided by your personal calendar.

Seeking redress when a country believes another fielded ineligible players is not a crime. It’s the proper legal process. Nigeria and the NFF are not the first to file a case and won’t be the last. Plenty of cases have been filed before, some won, some lost.

Because February 16 came and went, you suddenly found confidence to talk. Relax. When the final verdict comes win or lose, the process itself will make FIFA pay closer attention to national laws on player eligibility and strengthen the system.

Until then, go back and sit down. Stop behaving like someone waiting only for bad news to celebrate. Hide again and let serious people discuss football properly.

Is he a CB or RB

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are the biggest content creator. You should be really perturbed that the decision wasn't made yesterday. That would have tilted it to Dr CONGO.
FiFA still delaying this decision means that Nigeria presented a very strong case against Congo. It even solidifies the fact that is unlikely in Congo's favour. Just pray Congo is not banned sha. This case will open up a lot of things about players nationality switch in Africa.
Keep dreaming content creator

Franktom247:

he is a central back . I am also expecting players like Jayden meghoma and Gibson yah(though he is currently injured).

Looking at the performances of both countries during the qualifiers, do we truly deserve the ticket?

Oga dis question is stale already ..we know we played badly and our nff is shit. However a football game is won off and on the pitch ..if truly dr Congo used ineligible players as alleged by nff in their protest letter den Dey must be punished.Y re we making it look like we re doing something wrong when it’s obvious if it was the other way round ,it’s we the fans that will be calling for nffs head for making such a terrible mistake..


Besides this is not the first time we will be missing out of the World Cup,when Ghana 🇬🇭 won us in 2022,did we complain or filed any protest? No because Ghana qualified on a clean slate..Deres a reason a football game is termed “fair play” ,As a team you must win clean and square

If nff feels we deserve to file a case for an “obvious “ cheat ..why not ,I support them 💯

Osimhen...

lbrichman2:
Osimhen...

Where and when did Osimhen say this?

Your relevance is in being contrarian. Just look at how happy you are

FIFA GAME IS FAIR PLAY🙏❤️

Stale or not, it's still valid.

Make una move on.

Nobi only una Dr Congo played against all through the qualifiers.

Didn't Dr Congo get beaten fair and square by other teams in the Nations Cup with their so called 'ineligible' players.

Abeg make we move on and start winning games when they matter.

Then proper tournament football came(Afcon) the so called DRC vanished when they met stronger opposition…

Nigeria came second in their group losing one game to Benin, DRC also came second in their group losing 2-3 at home to senegal, none is more deserving than the other in the qualifiers, playoffs came to separate both teams…one lost on penalties while the other advance with case of ineligibility

it clearly shows you are allowing sentiments to becloud your reasoning . It also butteress the fact that you just watch only football without understanding the rules . That something is wrong doesn't make it right due to longevity or people falling to reveal the obvious.do you know the story of EMILIA NSUE(though not similar to this case)
If Dr CONGO isn't finally sanctioned (which I doubt), it doesn't take away the fact that countries will not learn from this case. It's not about Nigeria , it's about wining both in and out of the field. Beside it seems you are not comfortable with doing things right .

Galatasaray - Juventus Şampiyonlar Ligi maçı öncesinde, Victor Osimhen'in 2023'te Juventus'a karşı sergilediği en iyi performansa bir göz atın. Yarın Ali Semi Yen Spor Kompleksi'nde aslan yeniden kükreyecek! İnanın! #UCL #GSvJUVE pic.twitter.com/vxMX6uvYRK

You really think Nigeria is the only country on the planet, that's the sheer arrogance of some of you, like the several content creators with insiders at FIFA who had already made a decision February 16.
The bad news already happened when they lost 4-3 on penalties, yet the NFF and their agbado lawyers are looking for free qualification money from FIFA to loot.

DR Congo and other nations that have successfully been completing nationality switch in Africa but for some reason, again the arrogance of thinking Nigeria presented a strong case because the several content creators said so.

I have nothing to pray about DR Congo not getting banned because similar cases have been thrown out at FIFA as nonsense

Mr Intelligent, did you also predict the verdict yesterday?

Look at you, comparing Nsue's case to Congo

Sentiments?

Okay..

minfelix:

Did they become ineligible after playing against Nigeria or all through the qualifiers?

They beat serious teams to win the world cup ticket.

Why didn't we win those yeye teams they gave us during qualifiers?

this guy , you are truly funny. Its clear you didn't understand what I was pointing you to. Anyway I can't engage you. You have already made up your mind to follow status quo. If there is one thing I will appreciate about this NFF, Is that confidence to take the risk .

If Nigeria win this case , this guy fit die 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is severely pained . So sorry about that.
