ok, but from my close observation ehizubue is more robust and physical than ebuehi and also is versatile as you said (naturally was a winger before been converted to a right-back/right-wing back) .pls who is chinweizu?
ChrisKels:


Ebuehi is slightly a better RB bro. Ehizibue plays more as a winger/wing back.


Another good news is that Chinweizu has also said he's open to representing Nigeria when the time is right. He's equally a great prospect (20yrs old now)

All dis guys claiming to watch and comprehend what's going on in a match baffles me

I was in primary 4 when Brazil and France played in 98 world cup grin grin,na small remain make we c ,I was 9month old when amokachi scored a beautiful goal against greece grin grin,trying to clinch on d oldies cool grin cool

I no sabi as una dey understand dis games o,at Dt tender age...I bet most of u at DT age bracket watched replay and not d real match grin grin,make una no dey whine us for here


Aw primary 4 piking of DT time comprehend each persons name, position, style of play as at den smiley,me I no believe o angry grin grin,kids I.Q den where not as high as today's kid,a kid of 3years can operate i-pad conveniently cool.


I knew what was football during Atlanta 96,though I can't really comprehend d rules and regulation @ age 7

I didn't watch most games,because I was too naive to understand d rules,d game time wereearly part in d morning,games where played around 11pm,12am,1am,2am.d rules den for kids generally was to sleep after dinner,Max by 9pm,I dey bed
Only my my siblings who re older would go out in d middle of d night to watch games at a popular joint where dey own a generator set...generator set den was very expensive and not to popular among d masses

So abeg in a nutshell,if u re not up to age 13-15years during 94 world cup and 96 Atlanta tourney,stop analysing matches for us grin grin
I was in primary 3 when Nigeria played Angola and I remembered the match even though I wasn't a football fan. It was from that day I heard Sam Okwaraji name.

Daman miracle was still in 89. I didn't watch it though but I was caught up in the excitement. I will never forget how barrack boys were shouting and singing: our goalkeeper na Magnetor, goalkeeper, Magnetor, goalkee, goalkeeper, Magnetor. Fact is I even remember things sharply from my childhood than now. If I take you back to my primary school I can show you where I sat from nursery one to primary six. I still remember almost all my nursery rhymes. I know many people that can still recite word for word English lesson texts like Edet lives in Calabar...

And I do not agree that the children of this days are more intelligent because they are more adept in operating ICT tools. On the contrary too much television destroys intelligence. We didn't watch too much as compared to now but what we watched we remembered. I was not even up to five years old but I still remember the names of the wrestlers before hulk hogan came, purely from memory.

Atlanta 96 was the first tournament that kindle my interest in football. with the celebration after nig -bra game I thought it was the final and Nigeria won the World Cup.
for France 98, I could only remember baby dancing below the TV screen after France won the final.

NTA studios did a wonderful job covering France 98, especially showing the games that were not televised live during the breaks in the afternoon.

That dancing black baby with pant was hilarious and brought a lot of laughs to people in the country. So hilarious and matched the celebration. John Fashanu was also in the studio. Do you remember Ronaldo colliding with Barthez was another dark night moment, giving Ronaldo collapsed that day before the game. Nice one.

No bro. Ebuehi's success has made him have a rethink plus Dutch FA doesn't rate him as one of their top prospects. They rate Ebuehi rather. I guess u don't know the names coming through that Dutch RB?

I was sixteen during the 98 World Cup. I watched almost all the matches of that tournament and followed analysis in the local and National stations. The fever pitch of France 98 was insane. What I am talking about is not replays. The memories of that tournament is still fresh in my mind like I watched it yesterday.
Even going back beyond that time I still remember even if I cannot remember specifics but I remember somethings like for example I remember Christopher Ohenhen and Henry Nwosu from Saudi 89 and Andrew Aigkomogbe abi wetin be him name. I even remember that Saudi goalkeeper with his long pants.

I repeat. In Port Harcourt, Multichoice was rampant. A lot of people in my neighborhood had it and were following foreign leagues regularly. By 1997, people were hacking Multichoice devices and watching without paying subscription. That year, cable satellites beamed free to Air channels into people's homes. There was a large following at that time. Most bars in hotels showed these leagues regularly.

So people claiming to follow top leagues in the mid to late 90's was true.

Late 90s yes. But mid 90s, not likely.AIT, the first private TV station was opened late 1995.

I was 9/10 years old in 98, I knew names but I don't know position or tactics, so the games I watched in 98 I still remember some of the scorers and scoreline
It was on this thread that I was educated as to tactics. Wetin concern me with tactics before. Then once I identify the gk, the defenders, the midfielders especially the number 10 and the wingers and strikers I was good. 4-4-2, 3-5-2 etc, diamond shape, double pivot na goodjoe teach me for here

if they rate ebuehi why wasn't he capped in any of their youth teams? ebuehi came to prominence after joining up with the super eagles which helped his confidence to notch out superb performances in the colors of ado which made the dutch FA to notice him but it was late. ebuehi, aina,iwobi and ekong are case study for the nff. they mustn't wait till this foreign born kids rise to stardom before approaching them. once any have been noticed as a top prospect they should be approached and integrated to the teams set up before their country of birth comes calling. if such measures was taken a talent like lookman ademola would have been an integral part of our world cup team

He has long rescinded that decision bro. Remember he shares same agent with Ebuehi who said he wouldn't block his clients from representing Nigeria because it would provide them with more opportunities at the International scene as the competition is so stiff in the team. But that can change if Ehizibue moves to the Bundesliga and holds his own, hence we better cap him before he starts shining

You grossly underestimate the power of the memory of children. I remember so much from my childhood. Television shows, movies with names like hammers house of horrors, silver bullet. I remember so much. We didn't have too much television. The drama of daily life was our television.

Once again stop equating ability to operate ICT gadget with intelligence. I've seen children of this age and I have not seen the high I. Q they possess.

Many people from 35- above can still quote from memory passages from Shakespeare from memory. My lecturer did it when I was in the University, Mr Bisi Kolawole a press adviser to Gov Mimiko did it when he came to do attachment in my office back then in Akure.

Even here you can't even remember somethings about football three seasons ago but oga Kog45 even remembers across decades.

Go online, type "what do the Dutch FA, team coaches and legends think of ebuehi and ehizibue?" This season ebuehi was rated the second best, if not the best RB in the Eredivisie while ehizibue came fourth abi fifth sef.

Yes ehizibue came to prominence before ebuehi and he is also a year or two older than ebuehi. But he ain't no better RB than ebuehi bro, maybe he is a better winger/wing back. I have seen both play in different matches and against each other, ebuehi always came out tops and unscathed.

Na only when i hear news say we beat Bulgaria, and Greece I come believe say something good can come from Nigerian football. That was when I started reading Complete Football and getting to know the players. Na Atlanta 96 I start to watch Nigeria match.

Prior to then Na only WWF and video game I sabi.

wwf was the in thing for the kids around then, we used to swear at the tv whenever we are expecting our favorite program and football match pops up. Watched the semi/final of the 96 Olympic after I was woken up by the shout of neighbors, watched all Nigerian and other matches at the mundial in 98. But that semi final was the deal breaker, I followed the Dutch players like beckamp& overmars to Arsenal and started watching the premier league on tv every Saturday. The good old days when local stations air live matches every weekend
