Zaragoza fans hyping Igbekeme on his debut.
My Spanish friend has been raving about this guy. Thinks he's better on the ball than Ndidi and should be a starter for SE in no time.

Does this FIFA ban has any implication on Nigerian players all over the world?

Remember, the last time we were threatened with a ban. FIFA stated that all football activities both locally and internationally will be halted and Nigeria players will not be able to feature for their respective clubs too.

If Onyekuru was eligible for another country like Belgium, this wouldn't even be an argument. You never value what you didn't fight for.


Better than Moses by a mile, tested in 3 leagues and yet still 21. Furthermore, he is ready to fight for the national jersey, immediately Galatasaray signed, his first statement was: "I want to break into the national team".

No argument bro. Onyekuru is the best Nigerian winger home and abroad by a century mile. Moses who? As a winger, Moses was and is still a big failure from stoke to Liverpool to westham to Chelsea to wigan but as a wing back, he was and is our best.

I won't say Moses was bad, but he had too many excesses detracting him. Onyekuru on the other hand has been phenomenal and as shown astuteness in his play. His rise has been so meteoric that Everton fans fear that he will never play for them.

It's no news that the national team cannot survive with fullbacks or wing backs, they are a team of wingers, something they have in loads.

Look, I don't wanna drag this into a ground that waters down Moses' achievements but let me make one thing clear.

Okocha was not among the leaders of that 94 Squad. And for crying out loud, that was our Bloody Golden Generation led by Keshi, Yekini, Iroha, Rufai, Eguavoen and co.... With talented youngsters like Oliseh, Okocha, Amokachi, Amuneke.

Have you forgotten that Yekini and Keshi were there and failed to qualify for the 1990 WC? Does that make their other achievements null and void??!

Mikel was part of our failures in 2015 and 2017. And so was Moses too in 2017 especially as he was the culprit for missing a clear chance created by Iwobi in kaduna that would have buried the game for good but he squandered it and The pharoah of Egypt, Salah went on to punish us for it with a late equaliser. Moses was part of our downfall Egbon. He was there when we failed and also when we soared. So stop your childish exemptions of him from our failures only to include others like Mikel and co.

I repeat, Moses was not the alpha and Omega of the Super Eagles and is also not the best Super Eagle in his era. He was one of our most outstanding during his time with us, YES! But that is where it ends.

Take a look at the future of the Super Eagles on the wings today that showed us a super sweet glimpse of what is to come in the coming months and years in the GWG. Henry Onyekuru's Awesome Audacity and Wicked Finishing in front of goal... Samuel Kalu's Awesome Wing plays, runs and crosses... Iwobi's MOTM-like showing for Arsenal... Etc... Our future with Moses would have been tastier but even without Moses, it still looks so good and hopefully, the FIFA hammer won't fall on us... Today, it is expected to fall but I trust all will be eventually sorted. Even DSS Operatives were (or are still are) at the NFF glass house to ensure that no invasion comes through from the Giwa camp.

Nigerian football is experiencing that new dawn I foresaw that inspired the title of this thread. smiley Just give it time... wink


Jab doesn't make ones argument intellectually better rather makes the argument loose credibility.

Eagles need reinforcements, bar our home grown kids doing well in Europe and are on the fringes of the national team for now, I recommend these few stars due to our needs ;

With Moses gone, I suggest we re approach Ademola lookman especially now that he is so neglected by England at all levels. He and Onyekuru should be supported to make our right wing more menacing.

With our lack of creativity upfront, I also suggest we bring in Ebere Eze . He is ripe and has been doing well in the championship as an attacking midfielder. He will give us something better than Etebo has been dishing out. Both play in the same league but av been enjoying contrasting fortunes.


Philip Anyanwu Billing also should be capped because we dont have any capable hand to back up or take over from Mikel yet. Next is Josh Onomah , also as an understudy to Mikel.

We should also relaunch our bid to have both Uduokhai and Akpoguma to help increase our pool in the defense.

Special mentions are Deji, Ehizibue and Ikouwem . If Deji starts playing for Frankfurt this season, he should be brought in to compete with Idowu who has been a bench warmer for Locomotiv Moscow. Ikouwem should also be given a chance. About Ehizibue, with Ebuehi out injured, we need a better back up to Aina, sorry but I dont think Shehu can fill in, hence, I suggest we give Ehizibue a chance to show wot he's got.

Gabriel is a prolific striker and has proven himself everywhere and babatunde is very creative and and experienced. You need to watch performance against Memolodi Sundowns in CCL. Wydad Casablanca is currently the highest rated club in Africa. Babatunde is currently their hit man.

The Babatunde that I have been following his game in the CAF champions League? E never even reach 10hrs wey just finish watching their game with Mamelodi Sundowns and Dude was crap. When he got subbed out in the 65th minute, even the commentators (T.K and the other guy) were wondering how he made it to the world cup in 2014.

Bros abeg did u mean Azubuike abi Gabriel Okechukwu? Neither of the two is worthy of a mention please. Both plus Babatunde aint super eagles quality. We talking about reinforcement (improvement), u dey mention people who are worse than the ones we have already. Nawa oo

same thing you guys said when I suggested 3-5-2 for world Cup. Bet me before the end of this year One of will be invited. You guys don't follow African football. You think that African football is like NPFL? Africa has left Nigeria in backwardness. South Africa defeated us in Uyo with 80% home based players. U need to start watching CCL.most leagues in Africa are better than some leagues in Europe.
