My brother that land matter na another thing oh...These bad guys have insiders who work in the land ministry. These office insiders switch up the cloth copy of the original survey plan of the real owner there in the office, unsuspecting land speculators who come for verification will see the fake document, registered to the fraudsters name, then proceed to payment..... Even king Solomon will fall for this trick.

Doing business is very tough in Nigeria! If one is not willing to go all macavelli every now and then, you will be swallowed alive.

Look at MMM.... You will be amazed at the number of well informed and educated people who lost huge sums in that scheme.

I think Rohr should give Ambrose Vanzekin who was in goal for Nigeria at the 2005 FIFA U-20 and 2008 Olympics a chance.

The guy plies his trade at Warri Wolves. He is a great goalkeeper with a lot of confidence and experience. He has been up against Messi and Aguero twice.


Ambrose vanzekin is more into active football now a student of engineering in one of the Eastern university...

I partly agree that the 6 months of little action Kelechi had endured in Leicester has reduced his market value. Football is a funny sport. The overriding is all about 'what have you done for me lately.' But, having said that, Kelechi is young and wickedly talented ... he will resurrect his career. The cream always rises to the top.

However, I will advice Kelechi to fire his agent(s) if he doesn't get a contact this summer. With all the EPL teams struggling to scorer goals this seasons, there's absolutely no excuse why Kelechi could not find a team willing to invest on a young striker and a proven goal scorer. Take it from me, with good marketing, several football would be willing to offer top dollars for his services.

Well that no source at all, it is essential speculation and agent talk.

There are players that clubs are fighting to get Zaha, Mahrez, Ssegnon, Dembele, etc

And they are players you are trying to market and convince a club to buy and if possible take on loan.

In other words you are just marketing the player and exploring possible options.

Ighalo as it stands in my opinion is the best striker we havering in the current SE set up. I do not look at KC as a striker but a SS. Hee is also not too versatile for instance I wouldn't be very confident him playing on the wings.

YES!!!


Why do you think say so.

Beyond personal opinion but even if it's your opinion it's an open forum.

Explain attributes, etc. I may even agree with you.

Make a comparison between Iorfa and the German defenders in contention for instance Uduokhai. Or any other you choose.

To say YES is not enough. Educate, inform and advocate for your player with your reasons. That help everyone to appreciate the player as well.

Bia, did Rohr really say that?

Then I would ask him a follow up question. Who exactly are these players warming the bench in their clubs? Is it Victor Moses, Ndidi, Simon Moses, Mikel Obi, Etebo, Ekong, Shehu, Onazi, Onyekuru, Awazien, Ogu, Agu etc etc. We shouldn't let that ridiculous statement hanging out there. The man is already making excuses for failure in Russia shocked

As it stands, I am quite skeptical about our chances in Russia. We cant be heading to the congregation of the best athletes in the world with just 1 in form player (a 20 year old playing for a mid table English club) and expect magic.

Did anyone see the Gernot Rohr super sports interview where he called his players "average players warming the bench in their clubs"?
I read that and felt he was directly responding to the 94/2018 debate we had here last December. Lol

OMANBALA1:
The 2017/18 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season is three days away and one player who cannot wait for the games to begin is Plateau United’s Amos Gyang.

The diminutive winger is eager to get started because of his desire to prove doubters wrong. Doubters, in Jos, where Plateau United play their home games.



It is not an agenda of sorts but an opportunity for him to show Jos fans that he has grown from the little kid in the street who was called 'Mai Doya' (yam seller) because he hawked yams for his mother while playing in youth football circles in Jos a few years back.

Gyang, who joined Plateau United from former NPFL champions Kano Pillars told npfl.ng that his experience with opposing fans while growing up in Jos has been a source of motivation for him to show he can succeed playing football.

He was the butt of jokes not because his family was so poor he could not afford boots but chiefly due to the fact that he had a tray of yams on his head when he was not playing football in the streets.

A lot of coaches also had problems with his stature as they felt he could not cope with the physical demands of the game but he has been able to put all that behind him to play for the likes of Giwa FC, Kano Pillars and now Plateau United.

“It wasn’t easy for me in the beginning. A lot of people doubted me because of my stature. Some felt I could not make it in the game but I was willing to fight hard and tell them they were wrong,” Gyang exclusively told npfl.ng in Jos.

“I had a lot of difficulty at first because getting boots to play was an issue and my mother was too poor to afford them for me to wear.

“In fact, that wasn’t even an issue. The main problem was how to eat, how to feed the family. I had to hawk yams and potatoes to earn extra money for my family.

"We could hardly get three square meals in a day. We were schooling and hawking at the same time. During the mid-term break or long vacation, I usually join my mother in her yam business until school resumes.

"At a point, her business grew and she took us from a public school to a private one but that didn’t last long as the business collapsed and we were went back to a public school.”

That was not the only obstacle Gyang faced.

Gyang was also teased a lot especially by opposing fans anytime he scored or assisted a goal. It was a trying period for him but the barrage of insults and expletives hurled at him became a source of inspiration for him.

“It got so bad that any time I score a goal in a match around Jos metropolis our opponents will say ‘Mai Doya ya sha goal’ (translates to ‘Yam seller has scored a goal’),” he said.

“That was my nickname in the youth circles, I was called ‘Mai Doya.’ I felt bad about it because people were more interested in the fact that I hawked yams for a living than my football skills.

“It felt bad that one day when I got called names on the pitch I ran home to my mother and told her I will never hawk yams again.

“I was determined to change all that I promised myself that I will make it in the game to prove my doubters wrong and support my mother. I stopped hawking and concentrated on my football career."

That setback did not deter Gyang as he kept on playing in youth competitions winning titles and picking up awards within Jos and Bauchi metropolis.

A silverlining soon appeared as Saint Murumba College, famous for producing the likes of Segun Odegbami and Obinna Nsofor stepped up and offered him an opportunity to complete his secondary school education.

It has been a whirlwind of a career for the winger whose breakthrough into big-time football came when he was selected to represent Plateau State at the National Sports Festival in Lagos in 2012.

Gyang shone like a million stars as he emerged as the third best player in the football event and also scooped the second top scorer award.

A bevy of clubs was in the queue to sign him.

Heartland, Kaduna United and Dolphins (now Rivers United) all made overtures but he ended signing for Giwa FC where he cut his teeth as a professional footballer

"I had a good time with the team (Giwa FC) before I went to Pillars and now I’m back to Jos, where it all started. I have a mission to show my people that the ‘yam seller’ is back to his roots and hoping to create records with my home state team Plateau United,” Gyang enthused.

“Winning the league again is my personal target and I also want to help my team go as far as possible in the CAF Champions League.

“It is an honour to represent my hometown club and I can’t wait for the season to start so I can show Jos fans what I can do. The 2017/18 NPFL season will be tough because as defending champions, a lot of teams will want to beat us whether home and away.

“I can’t wait to get started, I’m excited the league is resuming. I hope to give the fans something to cheer and hopefully this time, the tag won’t be ‘yam seller.”



This is what I love about Nigerian league, its full of beautiful and inspiring stories. Mai Doya, I will be looking out for ya. I am hoping Plateau United didnt sell 80% of the players that won the league for them.





They retained 80% I think. Although some are with the CHAN team for now.
I think they managed to keep most of the first team and definitely the coach.

What is your problem You didn't buy my data and not even Seun who owns this site can tell me what to do.

What is wrong with making a suggestion. If you have anything against Vanzekin, just put it up. If Rufai could make the France 98 squad out of retirement, why are you making my suggestion look so inappropriate?

Yes, Vanzekin is a much more reliable goalkeeper than Akpeyi and Ezenwa.
