This guy has shown consistent integrity from day one making it clear that he wants to play for Deutschland and not Nigeria.

However, we have consistently bent over backwards publicly and behind the scenes. He has refused but nobody is asking for his head and calling him unsavoury names. Smacks of a double standard seemingly, I wonder why ❓ Particularly seeing the extent of hate speech Tega got.

I know some will not like this. I am not convinced that he is better than Dominic Iorfa.

My side far from any viewing centre and it will be too late walking about by that time.

I think we need to go back to memory lane to talk about FB who willingly made themselves available,those that rejected us and those we rejected.

In 1980 we have a FB named Tunji Banjo who came all the way from England and made 1980 Afcon winning team.He was the first FB to play for Nigeria and had a memorable tournament with the likes of Christian Chuckwu,Segun Odegbami and Adokiye Aimesemeika.

John Chiedozie made himself available and had few caps for Nigeria in 80s

I remember we later had Reuben Agboola who made Senegal 92 team and had a good tourney.

John Shittu had a wonderful experience with Nigeria with Afcon and WC experience.

Abbey George also had afcon appearance for Nigeria

Efe Sodje had World Cup appearance with Nigeria

Sammy Sodje too had few caps.

Hope Akpan had few caps.

Sone Aluko too had few caps even represented Nigeria at U20 WC.

Good recently we have the likes of Vic Moses, Leon Balogun,Alex Iwobi,Ola Aina,Ebuhei, Brian Idowu and Ekong Troost doing well with eagles presently.

Justin Fashanu was a very solid striker who never identify with Nigeria like John Fashanu.He was the first black player to signed a £1m contract in the world though never get a call cos he was not even willing.I remember he came down to Nigeria with John for the first time in 80s through MKO Abiola and Sebastian Williams Father to Kojo Williams.

Remi Moses was an ex Manchester United great midfielder who played between 1981 - 1989 as a regular but still surprised nobody knew he was a Nigerian and no approached from NFF.

John Fashanu rejected us and had two caps for England in friendlies.He tried to get his way back after our qualification for US 94 through Chief Akinwunmi the father of present NFF vice President but outcry from fans and press stopped him.

Gabriel Agbonlahor rejected us but later came out and said he was never approached to play for Nigeria and he had two appearances for England.

Nnedum Onuoah was a solid player that was given a wild card to represent Nigeria at 2014 WC but turned Nigeria down,waiting endlessly for England invitation.Later regretted his action and his mother didn't help his situation cos she insisted that her son want England.

Ugho Ehiogu was never approached so i cannot really blamed him but he should have been a great Eagles defender if we approached him.

Carlton Cole was willing but the rules at that time ruled him out.The rule stated that a player that played official youth match is not allowed to play for another national team and Cole was ex England youth player.He came down to Nigeria with Okocha and Kanu believing they can turned things around but the FIFA laws was cleared.

Cole went back to England dejected and following week he got England call and made his debut in official match but funny enough the following week after his debut FIFA changed the law that youth players can changed nationalities,no way for him again though he had few caps for England.

David Alaba was ever ready but his agent didn't help his situation.He went through third party who know nothing about NFF and was told U 17 is for homegrown.[/b]A very strong member of Austria team,honestly a great loss.

[b]Dele Ali to me never a Nigerian though his real root is Nigeria cos he never see himself as one,nothing to say on a player who don't really reckon with his parents.

Manuel Akanji truly identified with Nigeria through his Father Murphy Akanji,a good CB who but funny enough he was never approached by NFF before he made his official debut for Switzerland,another loss.

Kenneth Otigba waited patiently but never get a call until recently when he was named in Hungary team,painful,Otigba refused to honour Hungary euro invitation cos of Eagles.

Oh Emma Olisadebe really wanted Nigeria but NFF didn't see him as someone that can compete with the likes of Kanu,Aghaowa,Yakubu and Agali until he naturalised and turned out for Poland.

Truly those who rejected Nigeria never had a good national team career.

Modified... Efan Ekoku was another FB who willingly turned out for Nigeria and he was member of prestigious 94 afcon winning team and also US 94 squad.

Dickson Etuhu had great time with eagles especially at Afcon and WC,he turned out for Nigeria with no hassle.

Joebie:
I dey ready my hand to clap until he mentioned Sone. Can't we just talk about this team just as it is based on the players in camp? Lol

You can't always have what u want

Mujtahida:
Failure or success: I stand with this team.

TheLoneCitizen:




An X factor which Hazard gives to Belgium, which Salah gives to Egypt, which Neymar gives to Brazil, which Messi gives to Argentina. We don't have that currently.

andrew444:


Dickson etuhu has 33 caps for Nigeria

So, Onyekuru can give us the X factor ahead of Mikel and Moses, ba?

DrKlever:
. lemme hear word! Some monikers here were against the ideal of Joel Obi's call up for several reasons. Some team cohesion and chemistry, while so many others for injury. I can remember someone saying Joel Obi can even get injured in an airplane on his way to russia. some others caller him waste of slot. although nobody denied that he is not good but sir you never said Joel Obi is our best midfielder. so he's now better than Mikel abi. Why are you pained if you ain't part of them?? I'm even sure you're among! you think i have the time to be digging out old comments, when I'm still struggling to catch up with new posts.

Kog45:
Thank you for this comment.

Do we need to argue Joel Obi invitation? NO or do we need to castigate the school of thoughts that always have reservation about his injury issue? NO

Pls let us ask ourselves simple question

What has been Joel Obi hindrance in National team for past six years?

(A) QUALITY. (B) INDISCIPLINE. (C) INJURY

I think answer to this should end the arguments.

'I’ve been in Poland today to check in on Nigeria’s World Cup preparations.

They’ll be the youngest squad at Russia 2018... Spirit/unity in the Super Eagles camp seems like the best it’s been since I’ve reported on the team.'






interesting

somehow:
Probable lineup according to Murphy

MetalJigsaw:
the code please

Joebie:
You are as good as your recent stats. Stop looking for excuses. Later u will shift goal post for another player who plays outside England. Is Iorfa among the best in the Championship currently? Capital NO.
Aina is, and he is in the SE set up.

We reward performance.

I don't think it works for all Sims though. I think it works on old sims. But I use it

tbaba1234:


It is easy to see the spirit and unity even from far away... Maybe because of the youth in the team

Danielnino00:




First pic of Echijele so far, but y is he looking so gloomy? Has he finally interpreted the handwriting on the wall ?

Yeah, that's true. Didn't work on my sim...like how many MB would one expect to use? Considering subscribing for GoTV (which I am sure I won't watch after both games) or streaming on Modbro.
