Loool, this is ya 2nd time. I don't even know ya handle but I applaud ya bravery albeit it's suicidal. At least you're brave enough to challenge me to a fight, even if it's on the internet...unlike the other miscreants who chat shiit on here, especially the ones who claim they live in the UK. grin

Come get these hands whenever you're in London Town...these itchy knuckles need to get busy after 2-3 years of weekend boxing and muay thai training for cardio/conditioning. If you beat me or don't get knocked out cold - I owe you £500. Deal or no deal?

Regardless, naij needs to stop populating the Super Eagles with low football IQ having Igbo players. Based on what I've seen, these guys are basically farmers who're just big/athletic for nothing. Footie isn't just about raw power/skills/strength - you need high football IQ as well. That was also Jay Jay's biggest problem despite the fact that he's still my favourite naij footballer ever based on pure talent. Imagine a Jay jay with a high football IQ - he would've been one of the top-10 greatest footballers ever. And that's what lacking in Nigerian teams. Put some Yoruba players in there and mix the whole thing up.

Anyway, this my Yoruba starting 11:

Tosin Adarabioyo
Alaba
Ola Aina
Fikayo Tomori

Tosin Kehinde
Dele Alli
Ademola Lookman
Sheyi Ojo

Olufela Olomola
Dominic Solanke

4-4-2 - Lookman and Ojo are going to operate from the wings. All the players are below 21, save for Alaba. And this team should have no problem smashing the Nigerian senior football team. grin


And if you want basketball - my starting Yoruba 5:

Giannis Antetokounmpo (PG)
Semi Ojeleye (PF)
Victor Oladipo (SG)
Bam Adebayo (C)
Rasheed Sulaimon (SF)

Res (my two young bulls):

Simisola Shittu
Ayo Dosunmu

This team should smash the Nigerian basketball team to bits. I'm going to play a small line-up similar to last year's GSW, with Ojeleye playing the Draymond Green role and Sulaimon's going to play a role similar to Iggy's. grin

Get proper talents!


I don't box but I believe the match won't end like Magarito vs PacMan fight.

The nepotism in our system is hindering proper talents from representing Nigeria at sporting events it's based on your level of connections before talent. Sport is 70% intelligence and 30% physical condition, but in this part of the world except you're looking like George Elekobi you won't be looked at. Our football lacks flair and artistry

Lol, are you Yoruba? I thought you're Igbo cos these eboes are always the ones running their mouths and I won't mind knocking one of them out for the culture, just to show the "Yoruba cowardice" they always allude to lol.

Yes, you're right - sport is 70% intelligence and skills and physical attributes make up the remaining 30%. And nepotism and excessive reliance on physical attributes ruined Nigerian sports. Every time I get to watch the Super Eagles, I always shake my head in disgust cos most of those players have low football IQ.

I'm Ebira and trust me you won't want to have a beef with an Ebira, because when he feels cheated or insulted he will be on destruction mode. Super Eagles is populated by mediocre players vast majority of them won't make a D-team of an elite footballing country.
