We are products of our environment.

We worship the gods of money and we do anything to get it. Look at what people are prepared to do for money in Nigeria. Is there anything too low.

Football is simply a stepping stone to make money. Do they have true passion[b][/b]❓ Its open to never ending debate.

Loogan:
This guy bring a unique feeling of pride to me everytime hes talked about.
tactical intelligence.. technique.. Awereness/use of space... Strength... Unselfish... Ball retention. He has it all, This guy is getting better stats than pros.

Princezibk:
Exactly what am saying, all i care is for them to keep searching for this talents and nurture them ehn... we need our names on global maps biko, am tired

darkelf:
Word bro.

Even with all the money between now and the WC, we will still bear witness to shambolic performance.

That was how they started throwing money to the Super Eagles with humongous sponsorship deals here and there but we all know how it panned out.

Truth is, you don't expect to change your football overnight when other countries have been growing for years and expect to be at par with them during major tourneys. You reap what you sow. If you didn't try to build your football from the grassroots and improve your league, na last you go still carry for world cup. If you like, organize all the friendly matches till thy kingdom come.

No. Iheanacho can't go as a ball boy, he won't be able to trap the balls that go out of play na.

Maybe he can go as a cheerleader. Since his mouth is always open, he might well make good use of it.

BascoVanVeli:
Puel about Iheanacho

“I think in his last game he was available between defenders a lot and he made many good runs behind the opponents’ line without receiving good service,”

“We need to improve our play between the attacking players and the midfield, to give a good pass in the right moment.

“For an attacking player or striker, they need good service. We can improve in this and we have progress to make.”

Curtisaxel7:
This is the exact type of mentality our players have. This "I cannot kill myself" kind of mentality. And that's what's ruining them. While thier counterparts from the rest of the world work thier socks off and push themselves through sweat and blood to the very highest peaks of football, our boys are content with getting a bench role at a backwater team in Europe, managing to score a few goals and then rushing off to China and Arabia the first chance they get. And what do we the fans do? We applaud thier meager achievements and encourage them to remain perennial underachievers!.

And that's why we are where we are today.

I believe in demanding the best from our players. AT ALL TIMES. If a player does badly, I wield the big stick. If he does well, I commend him while reminding him that there's still more he can achieve. Only by doing so can we really be true fans!.

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you for this. It takes a foreigner to point this out while a lot of Nigerians spend time castigating instead of noting the challenges the young man is facing because of the system he is playing in.

If I was the one who stated this, many would be attacking me.

junnyjake:
I saw your question, and knew he was gonna take the bait.

He's predictable like that.

Joebie:
Nigerians, firstly, have to compete FAIRLY within the country for us to be able to compete well internationally. If we don’t get things right at the home front we will never get to see our true potential.

Every state should make effort to PRODUCE and MOTIVATE athletes and show how much they have been successful at the NSF. Delta should be emulated.

There is no short cut to international success.

komekn:
I would say it's reverse bait.

Iwobi started reception in England that's essentially pre- school. Which means he was barely 4 years old and in the data systems of the UK.

One of the things you find in Western Europe is that everything is documented in multiple official sources. Your Gp records, your school, your dentist, medical all converge to corroborate.

Then his entire football history from grass root on documentatated to when he got into Arsenal football academy.

With regards to Iwobi his authenticity isn't based on personal integrity. It's easily officially corroborated at multiple official government sources.

I have actually lived in Benin before, and played informal football with quite a few former internationals.

And NO I will certainly not tell you there names.

I choose not to talk about VM my choice, just like I will not talk about Enobakhare another Edo born boy.

Let other Owie Edo boys talk him matter not me.

But the principle remains particularly as we don't rely on personal integrity to substantiate Iwobi age. It's all substantiated by official sources over the last 18 years.

Bro if you watched the leicester vs tottenham game , in the first half kelechi made several run-ins but maddison was giving way too much side-ways pass and i tot the coach saw it and would address it only to change formation to 4-4-2 and make life easy for tottenham.

if i were claude puel i'll always play a classic 4-3-3

U c...u re already taking it personal...abi sir Andrew Don dey lecture u ?

Danielnino00:
But Iwobi was also born in Nigeria where there's no automatic data capture at birth...

So why don't u doubt his real age??

edi287:
Has there been any rumors of Iwobi being an age cheat?

Diavolo:
ure still a comedian, just still not funny.
Going by ur usual logic, iwobi was born in Nigeria with no automatic birth capture records, but moved to the UK at a young age, meaning his age could have been reduced at the point of leaving for whatever reason by his parents, so making all the official corroborations in the UK wrong since it was built on a wrong info.
U say iwobis age isn't based on personal integrity, but since there are no automatic birth records to support his age as declared by his parents , so what is it based on??. Or u think because he left young his parents couldn't have been lying, and if you think so that means ur basing it on the personal integrity of his parents. You see ure the one that fell for the bait now.

Danielnino00:
Have u heard any??

My question was directed to him cus he claims that any footballer born in Nigeria must be an age cheat cus there's no automatic data capture at birth...

When did l say ❓ Any footballer born in Nigeria is an age cheat

Diavolo:
no actually, and no one is doubting his age. He was only trying to point out the fallacy in komekn theory of every Nigerian player is an age cheat.

komekn:
Sometimes l wonder d kind school were some people go. Because it is quite obvious that they have. But then again you wonder.

Please no vex, quote me verbatim not by your self birthed perception or by conjecture.

When did l say ❓ Any footballer born in Nigeria is an age cheat

Let me be intrinsically clear, what I have said is, Because there is no governmental official structure for AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE it impossible to officially substantiate and or verify age in Nigeria

You have to rely on the integrity of individuals, that's the undiluted fact.

Attention to detail is imperative before making a substantive deduction and or allegation. U just deh talk anyhow haba !!! .

Where have l said, the bold anybody born in Nigeria is an age cheat. ❓ please quote me.
