This is funny. Also very childish and a lame attempt to call everyone else st*pid. So the video posted of Maduka's blooper against Algeria's Team B after the one vs Tunisia at Afcon 2021 was nothing?? Was that not proof of Maduka's struggles in the role in the GWG? Maduka was rightly criticised as he hardly inspired confidence and composure in the role. It is well documented.

What good looks?? You are stressing it so much as if we have not had guys like Abbey George and Osaze Odemwingie in the Super Eagles. Maduka is not the first light-skinned with good looks to dorn the jersey.

Exactly, Nwabali has considered cheaper goal, recently against same Tunisia 🇹🇳. I feel the guy was just being criticised for nothing(his good look also playing a factor).

Thank you so much. Silly of me to have even forgotten "Light-skinned" Carl Ikeme who was so impressive in goal for the Super Eagles. Were Nigerians insecure because of his good looks as a standout light skinned dude?? Did not his GWG Performancss speak for him? Has Maduka Okoye even impressed as half as Ikeme did in the Super Eagles?? So what is all this childish talk about good looks? Again, Thank You Elder Kog45. Beautiful reference.

Sad. Really sad. Afcon Winner in 1980 as the youngest guy in the team (about 17yrs I think).
Afcon Silver medallist in 1984 and 1988 losing both to Cameroon. It was his goal in 1988 that was also incorrectly ruled out, if not Nigeria could have won yet another Afcon post-1980 in Nwosu's time.

He was a brilliant midfielder. R.I.P legend.

Banky, do you recall that the pic below was taken in february 2021 after a Napoli vs Juventus Serie A game in which Napoli won? Yep, the day Osimhen met CR7 face to face in a closeup manner.

Osimhen met one of the GOATs and the greatest jumping athlete in football in 2021 and ever since then, him jumping power just dey go up and up. His first na 2023 vs Spezia, next was 2025 vs Fenerbahce and latest na 2026 vs Liverpool.

Are you pondering what I am pondering? grin

If you're talking league form yes I get the logic, but in terms of how the SE plays Moffi is a better fit for our set up as it currently stands and is why he will be ahead of Onuachu in the pecking order.

I think it's Onuachu before Moffi as it stands now

He was given a chance vs Russia recently. Also kept goal in our 2-1 home loss vs Rwanda. Fact is Okoye is your pick but it is clearly a dishonest one based on the question asked and the flimsy points you are making.

Point of Okoye shaking like a leaf in Super Eagles Colors are well documented. He has to convince us he is no longer that person. Remember he was shining bright in Eredivisie as one of the best GKs while he had constant shaky moments in the Super Eagles so be not deceived. We need to know for sure else na another bad de ja vu.
That's the thing, he can even shake like sands 😉 n GWG, buh that doesn't take away my points, wether flimsy or not OKOYE for me,


Again who taking about dishonest here, if am be dishonest with my choice, what about you and others still backing Uzoho??

You all are being honest right??😁😁

Lies. Maduka was first choice during the 2022 WC Qualifiers. He was also first choice at Afcon 2021. He got his run and dropped the ball. Dont lie to twist historical facts.
Why should I lie because of a player which I'm not a fan of none but support because he's a Nigerian.
That being said, for me I still feel he was never really our 1st choice, He was considered to mount to goal for a short time, for me at that time the SE was still trying to get a 1st choice. Just like when Ejide was used at the 2026 Afcon over Eyeama. We all knew Eyeama was our no.1

Don't be to emotional about this, it's just a debate which you drop. You don't expect everyone to go for one person. ☺️
Let's be real, Maduka had a good look (not light skin), that drove so many female fans crazy. His look and physique was a talking point in that Afcon which none of Osaze (another sweet boy) or Abbey (nothing special 😂) had.
