forgiveness:


Raheem Lawal was the best Nigerian player and best player at the U23 Africa cup but still no better chance. His current form speaks for him.

Kayode? I have not clamoured for his invitation yet but if he keeps performing well, why not?

Ajagun; 3 years with Panathinaikos-fc with laurels but no invitation yet but some without a club are busy wearing the number 10 Jersey.

Now in Holland after been mocked.... we will observe.


Oshaniwa; If Madu could be called from one obscure league to the national team why not Oshaniwa?


Now, let us know yours, sir. Abi make I epp you?

For Osimhen, everybody knows he is one for the future, it’s not to his best interest if he is once again called up and later dropped from the match day squad. He will definitely be involved with the team in subsequent games but for this tie, we need players with big game experience.

Awaziem is another for the future, the dicey nature of the clash against Zambia made his omission a no brainer. Kenneth Omeruo took his place. You can’t place them on same level when you are talking experience

Is Rohr the white version of Icon4s?

Ooooohooooo! Na now una know wetin be 'enemy of progress' ba! when I said d same thing about Ajagun when the new coach sent him on loan and eventually released him, nobody gree remember 'enemy of progress fa' Una say 'if he is good enough' kai!

Maybe na new addition for una dictionary ba or una just dey see am, ko!?

I know 'enemy of progress' tey tey but I think say as una no know am make I no ku ku ma think.

We can now see that what goes around comes around. Na draw.

D same Ajagun some people mocked is now playing in the Eredivisie. Such is life na.

We must play by the rules. ..'if he is good enough, Musa Mohammed would have been playing regularly ' Chai!

AF Nigeria 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers FC Porto
Jamiu Alimi talks up progress after he's picked ahead of Awaziem

Kano Pillars ace Jamiu Alimi has said he has made progress in the game after he was considered for next month’s World Cup qualifier in Zambia ahead of foreign-based pros like Chidozie Awaziem.


The likes of Awaziem, Victor Osimhen and Imoh Ezekiel made the squad for last month’s AFCON qualifier against Tanzania in Uyo, but have been left out of the latest call-ups by coach Gernot Rohr.


“Picking me ahead of Awaziem of FC Porto is the coach’s decision, not mine, and I hope to justify my selection," Alimi said.


“The coach has been telling me about what I can do. So calling me back again after my invitation to the AFCON game against Tanzania in Uyo shows that the entire technical crew is pleased with my development.


"Now I wish to come to camp and be part of the success of our first World Cup qualifiers in Ndola.”


However, the former Shooting Stars ace, who has posted brief stints in Belgium and Ukraine, will not crown a great year with a major trophy with Kano Pillars.


“I do not regret joining Pillars even though we will not end the season with a trophy,” he said.


“Pillars remain a great club with rich history and super fans."

Revealed: Why Watford Big Money Buy Isacc Success Was Called Up By Nigeria
Watford of England forward Isacc Success was handed his maiden call up by coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr, much to the surprise of all.


However sources close to the coach have revealed the reason why the former Granada man was handed his first call up.


Success has been sparingly used by manager Walter Mazzari of Watford this season, as the coach is gradually easing him into the demands of English football.


Some Nigerians have joked that his call up was inspired by his strong showing last weekend against Manchester United , where he made mincemeat of highly rated defender Eric Bailly.


”It’s funny when Nigerians discuss issues , how can he be called up because he dribbled Bailly? How funny?. His call up was based on uncertainty over the fitness of Moses Simon, who is yet to fully recover from the groin injury he picked up few weeks ago” the source said.


”He earned his spot in the team based on Ogenekaro Etebo’s absence plus the Simon’s case I talked about earlier. You can’t doubt his talent. He will add pace, strength and experience to our strike force.


”You need to watch him at Granada. He has been unfortunate not to have been called up in the past. This is his time to show Nigerians what made Watford splash big on him in the summer”.

Rohr: Why Rio 2016 Hero Etebo and Golden Boy Osimhen Were Dropped For Zambia Tie

Coach of the Nigeria senior national team Gernot Rohr has revealed to his close aides and associates on the reason why Ogenekaro Etebo and Victor Osimhen, were dropped from the list of invited players for the World Cup qualifiers tie against Zambia.


The duo alongside FC Porto Chidozie Awaziem joined excused Watford star Odion Ighalo as the major absentee from the list of players excluded from the team, who were part of Rohr’s last squad for the Tanzania tie.


”Etebo was not listed because people tend to forget that in the last two months he has only played once, no thanks to fitness issues. Too heavy a risk to take especially as we have lot of options in his role. Aside that he has issues regarding hs work permit in Portugal” a source told Owngoalnigeria.com.


”For Osimhen, everybody knows he is one for the future, it’s not to his best interest if he is once again called up and later dropped from the match day squad. He will definitely be involved with the team in subsequent games but for this tie, we need players with big game experience.

You will not say that when the club released Ajagun that most of us said he would easily seal a deal with another club.

You make it look like the writings were all negative. My main guy Aluko who two weeks ago was in the Championship Team of the Week is not there. I did not complain.

I am a supporter of Oshaniwa but I did not complain. I believe the coach and his team will look into all and select the best that suits him.

Napoleon55:

In other words he is not good enough u think,well think again. cos he is real top quality. If an obscure club in turkey decided to destroy one of our promising talents, we r not going to allow that to happen, we will continue to invite him until a good club that appreciate quality found him. That journalist should stay off our team biz and focus on his career.

I hope Osimhen developes fast too. I believe he is the last piece of the puzzle of the League Of Extraordinary Hitmen.

...........................Osimhen(CF)
.........Success(SS).............Iheanacho(SS)
...........................Iwobi(AMF)

I see this as the future of the Super Eagles by 2018. But, Osimhen has to pull one hell of a season at Wolfsburg to make the 2018 team. A tough task but he can achieve if he works really hard.

I was part of that crew. I became more frequent here after KON was closed down.

I will never forget the Nigeria vs Ghana, Zambia vs Ghana, Nigeria vs South Africa bashing and quarrels. The Ghanaians and South Africans hatred for Nigerians was too much.

There were times I would avoid that site if results didn't go our way. It was crazy menn...

I was not the one behind that moniker though I was active there before it closed. In fact, na wetin make migrate come here be that. But I didn't participate or engaged in those fights.

Alright bro. Nice to meet here again after the closure of kickoffnigeria.

I was one of the warlords fighting SAs, Ghanaians and some Ethiopian wannabes. It really was nasty but fun then. Oh! How badly I miss those days. Collynzo2 and I even took it as far as Ghanasoccernet.com bashing Ghanaians when Iheanacho and Co were dismantling teams enroute the UAE.

At a time, the Ghanaians left and Ethiopians took over. A particular Ethiopian guy made a total nuisance if himself shortly before the site was shut down.

Bros, I no be Ijesha. I am a typical diehard naija boy. Let us just leave it at that.

Besides, I don't know the geopolitical zones of these players.

Example, I don't know where Simon Moses, Ezekiel Imoh, Isaac Success etc (though he bares a westerner name) come from before I clamoured for their inclusion in the Olympics football game or National team.

I am not against Isaac Success invitation but I said it must be based on merit.

Isaac Success was not playing regularly when this discussion came up. I insisted you can't drop Ighalo or Brown Ideye for him because they are playing regularly and inform.


That is just the point.

You wanna know why this issue is still being dragged on?

It's because of the Other half of The English media who praises anything Manchester Utd.. As man utd is more of a traditional club in England than Manchester City.
