Good for Chuks... But sorry, the super eagles hasn't degraded to the extent that we will be calling up players from division 4 leagues...
that guy is something else
sometimes I wonder if he applies sense to some of his post....
so the super eagles should call up a waste pipe in league 4?
I don't know....sometimes he will start calling prejudice while he is the chief of what he accused others of.

Once again the topic of Chuks Aneke has come up. Why ❓ outstanding stand out player in club and league.

Chuks Aneke voted best player in league two for the month. He us supposed to be an AM but it seems he is being played as a striker quite a often. Can he do it a higher level, I don't know, I think he us not fast enough, I guess it's a question of opportunity. But the quality is not in doubt

League 2 is too low. He needs to move up the ladder a little bit

Eagles know how to beat Bafana Bafana -Omeruo

Kenneth Omeruo has assured fans that the Super Eagles will triumph over South Africa in next Saturday’s crunch 2019 AFCON qualifier. The Leganes defender hinges his confidence on the better head-to-head record Nigeria have over their opponents. Although the Eagles will be away at FNB Stadium, Johannesburg, in the Africa Cup of Nations decisive qualifier, Omeruo, who played for Nigeria at the 2014 and 2018 World Cup tournament is staying upbeat for maximum points. Omeruo, who is on loan at Leganes from Chelsea, said the Eagles’ technical crew, led by Gernot Rohr, has given them enough clues of how to beat their hosts.

Omeruo recounted how South Africa handed Rohr his first defeat as Eagles’ coach, while also notching their first ever victory against Nigeria during the first leg in Uyo, but stressed that the story would be different next on November 17. Charting a course into the match at Soccer City, Omeruo stressed that the Eagles would win in Johannesburg to reclaim pride after losing the first leg 2-0 at home in June last year.

Omeruo declared: “The game against South Africa is a very important one because it’s a game we have to win, not just for our pride, but also for the country and to put us back in the Nations Cup come next year. “The technical crew provide us with more than enough to know our opponents very well – how they play and how they move around. “We have capable players to win this game; it doesn’t matter where we are playing, we are going to give everything to get maximum points.”

says a player who gift the southies a goal 3 years ago in UYO.
he should just keep quiet and do the talking in the field of play...
I hate all this mouth making...

Very impressive by these guys. Shows great commitment. Is it possible we see Kc start against SA again especially as Iwobi will be the creative midfielder as it seems the two have built a great rapport even on the field.

OPPONENT WATCH

'We do not fear Nigeria‚' says Bafana coach Stuart Baxter ahead of Afcon showdown
12 November 2018 - 17:10
BY MNINAWA NTLOKO

Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter says he holds no fear over facing Nigeria as the countdown to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) showdown against the West Africans at FNB Stadium on Saturday continues.

The Briton said he expects the visitors to have vengeance on their minds when they arrive in Johannesburg this week after unexpectedly going down 2-0 to Bafana at home in Uyo in his maiden match in his second stint at the helm as coach in June last year.

‘‘We do have Nigeria first‚ in the small matter of an African Nations Cup qualifier‚” the Briton said on Monday.

‘‘Everybody knows the list of injuries that we have had.

‘‘Everybody knows what I said in the first press conference (a week ago) that despite that (the injuries) I want to speak about the players that we do have because even though we respect Nigeria we do not fear them.

‘‘I think we have still enough talent‚ enough desire and if we can structure a game plan in the next three or four days‚ I think by the time we run out onto the FNB Stadium we would be confident‚ we would not be complacent‚ because Nigeria have just come from a (2018) World Cup (in Russia).

‘‘They are undefeated since we beat them the last time (in the first qualifier in June last year) and they will certainly want to wreak their revenge.

‘‘So‚ we will be ready and I still believe that we have a very good chance of getting the result that we need.”

Baxter revealed that Bafana had injury scares to Holland-based midfielder Thulani Serero and SuperSport United goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.

‘‘The ultrasound did not find any tears but it will take him (Williams) I think 24 to 48 hours for it (slight knee strain) to settle‚” he said.

‘‘So he won’t be training with us for the 48 hours and we hope it (the injury) will settle. So that is a little bit of a scare but we will not call in a third keeper and we will keep Ronwen because I think he will be okay.

‘‘The second one is Thulani Serero. We did not receive anything from the club about Thulani but through media reports in Holland.

‘‘They said he had an ankle injury. We knew he was on the plane but we did not know anything about the injury.

‘‘So we held or breaths a little bit.

"When he got off (the plane) he said had a laceration‚ five stitches and a gash. The stitches should come off (on Monday)‚ easy training (on Monday) and he should be okay for full training (on Tuesday).

‘‘We did after that get a doctor’s report from Holland. So those two are not okay (on Monday) but they should be okay in the next 24 to 48 hours.”

Bafana have a tough schedule in the coming days as after hosting the Nigerians in Johannesburg on Saturday‚ they will then travel to Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium to welcome Paraguay in the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Tuesday.

Actually pretty good. It was an interesting match even though it ended 0-0. I would like to see some NPFL teams give some of them a try.

especially NACHO,

good to have you back sir

With better wages and playing conditions.. we can keep our best legs in the league from going to obscure leagues in. eastern Europe..

Its either Udoh, Oshaniwa and Theo can't get offers outside Nigeria or Akwa united have offered them good money.

You live.in Uyo I assume...do u know how. much Akwa united pay their players ?

Last season I was told that the highest earners made from 200 to 300k a week but I am not sure what Mfon would earn being that he is a known name in the league. Then again he might give them an home town discount.

stop twisting the truth bro. You keep harping on “three season” when ever you wanna downgrad the lad. Let me ask you one simple question.. how many match has he played all through the season? You forgot he was injured for months and at a time went back to Spain on loan. Anyway just answer that simple question. Thank

Why was he classed as indisciplined and unfit when he arrived.

Why was he ignored as a wasteman by two consecutive managers.

Why did he end up in the most disgraceful off the field events.

How did he get overweight, even when he came back to Spain was classed and unfit.

This is the first time he has woken up now in his third season. It's good that he is getting games but for a player who cost £12 plus million. However, it's simply not good enough return on investment.

It's a reflection of how low we have dropped in our standards that a player who has scored 1 or 2 goals in the EPL in his third season. Is considered good quality for the SE.

Godwin Obaje earns 500K a week at IUFC. Rabiu Ali should be around 350. Enyimba and Rivers also pay well. But the rest including Akwa mainly depends on the Governor in charge.

It is his biggest dream to see our national team filled up with English born players... I've never seen him advocate for the inclusion of foreign born players from other countries. . he'd rather praise his foreign born boys who haven't even played for us yet at the expense of our own home grown players.. See the effort he is using to bash Isaac Success....
Funny enough,he won't recommend these foreign born players for our acre grade teams. its straight to the super eagles...

You probably don't like the Chuks guy like I do, but playing in the league2? come on.

If he can't play his way to the championship, let him forget about national team football.

He should have answered Siasia's call, he refused now look where he is.

Don't tell me you know more about the situation than I do, if you're not willing to tell me what you know.

Actually this season he almost went on strike because his club refused to give him a transfer.

A number of Championship clubs were interested in him but MK Dons need him desperately. And this is his first season back after near two years of serious injury.

I say it again without prejudice.

I would rather have a Lion in a lower league than a mouse in a top league.

Firstly, Chuks was wanted by a number of clubs see link below.

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/08/02/por-chase-on-for-mk-dons-ace-aneke/

I would like you to consider were did Dele Alli go from straight to Tottenham ❓ and then in the same season to England senior team.

You should take q look at him and tell me if your opinion doesn't change.

Which elimination plan? So Americans were planning also when slaves fought for their freedom in their civil war? You don't have to look outside Africa to know what genocide means and what happened in Argentina was not that. There are still black people residing there in their communities so I can't agree with any of the mass killings talk.
..




I'm talking about what happened in Argentina, you're bringing up America and I don't understand why.

Who's talking about the genocide in Africa?

In your earlier post, you brought about the roles the Africans played in the slave trade, and I ask where is this coming from?

Want to know how effective their elimination plan was? Then cast your minds back to the level at which slavery was practiced in South America, the amount of black people dominating these countries and now ask yourself how many blacks reside currently in Argentina when compared to other south American countries.

Seems we're finding it very difficult to understand ourselves, so let's end it already.
