Commemting on social media does not mean, he does not train.

you don call am blockhead already na

Reasonable point, but he's in a 4th-tier team bros, Sevilla B was in the Segunda division when Ondoa played for them. But how can you convincingly argue that Maduka is better than Akpeyi when his team is placed 15th in the 4th-tier. That's blasphemous.

edi287:
Osimhen and Samu are confirmed SE players. Are they the only U23 players around? Would Rohr have called up Bonaventure if Imama invited him to the U23? What stopped him from inviting Okereke, Nwakali, Ejuke and many other talented U23 players we have? Is it Rohr's job to unearth talented U23 players or the other way around?

mostob:
I know bro...that was just a dig at someone and she unsurprisingly didn't disappoint. she served her BILED words already.

BascoVanVeli:
Samuel Chukwueze and victor Osimhen belong to the system what are you talking about? After you people will cry that we are hyping players when you don't want them to go through a growth process. They are in the age bracket and they should be with that team slugging it out with their mates.

tbaba1234:
What growth process? If you are good enough, you are old enough. Chukwueze is already becoming a regular fixture in the super eagles and Osimhen is likely to take over from Ighalo.

There are still enough talents who have not established themselves as part of the super eagles.

BascoVanVeli:
So would you pick Dennis over Osimhen? The question should always be about him then we can go from there.

He could have had only a certain number of foreign players to invite. The NFF would throw him under the bus if this was really his complete list.

safarigirl:
the fact you continue taking a stale dig shows you're the only one filled with bile.

Continue taking the dig, it will not remove Okoye from the list and it will not elevate your status enough for your opinion to matter. Why will I disappoint a fan?

pray Barnes step up to edge Tammy out or even someone else self

Joebie:
Osimhen is clearly the top CF in the Super Eagles since Ighalo's retirement. Rohr invited Osimhen for the Ukraine friendly and also stated he didn't invite some others because of the U23. My question to you is who would rohr have invited in Imama's list?

charlesemeka85:
Belong to which system? They are so many untested players who if given a chance will do very well with the current u23. Because Sancho is 19 abi 20 why England no dey use am for their u21 team instead he is an integral part of the 3 lions team now.

Oga u no get yarn abeg. Imagine the likes of Okereke, Dennis, awoniyi, Ejike, Michael, Orji, gong, zubairu, Nwakali just to mention a few and here u re crying about not having chukwueze and oshimeh in the team? Mk una fear God ooooooo

Who was better than Okocha in 96? He still played on the dream team

jihday:
did he play the qualifiers too? when it's time for the Olympics you'll see Osimhen and Co that's if their clubs will allow

Sevilla B is in the 3rd tier. Not a very high level either.

Let us not forget, Ondoa was not even playing at the time. Maduka is playing regularly, he is young and will improve over time. I have no problem having him as 3rd choice until he is ready.

BascoVanVeli:
Fine. Then don't ask for our best legs.

benji93:
Sevilla B is currently in the 3rd tier, but while Ondoa played for them they were in the 2nd tier. I will give you the argument that he wasn't playing regularly though. Like i said i am not overly concerned about this call-up since he won't play as the first choice goalkeeper, except that the call-up is kind of suspect, given that the guy is german-born. I understand that it's hard for goalkeepers to move up, and doing well for the national team sometimes provide the boost, but i still believe he should begin from the under-23 team, then moved up if he proves too good for that level. But i beg you gotta stop your "he plays regularly" cliche. There have been 6 games so far-excluding the last one, let's just say he was getting ready to represent his love, Nigeria, hehehe- but he only featured in two. He is competing against one Jannick Theissen. He is not as regular as you make it seem. Abi na which stats you dey check? Fear God ooo.

Taliban:
Okocha played the qualifiers before the 1996 Olympics sir.

tbaba1234:
In the 2016-2017 season, Sevilla B just gained promotion from the 3rd tier and they are back there now. The season before Ondoa only managed 5 appearances in the 3rd tier. When they got promoted to Liga 2, Ondoa played only 2 games all season.

Yet, he was first choice and led Cameroon to the title.

Maduka is first choice for Fortuna B and barring injuries, will play several games this season. He can only improve by playing games.

Maduka was injured at the start of the season and missed a few games. Theissen only played when Maduka was not fully fit and today, because Maduka has left for National duties. When both players are available this season, Maduka has started.

I watch their games and follow the team, i do not just follow stats.

benji93:
Your argument for Ondoa sounds reasonable, except that Onana refused a call-up, cos he preferred to seal a spot at Ajax when Cillessen left. If you can present facts pointing to the fact that that there were other goalkeepers competing in the first and second leagues of top European countries in the period leading up to Afcon 2017, then perhaps your argument can be taken seriously. If you check the other invited goalkeepers, one was playing for Coton sports in Cameroon and the other Ajaccio in Ligue 2. I could have considered the latter a better option for a starting role, but the fact that he currently plays for Tours FC in the fifth division of France shows he wasn't regular

For the bolded part, i honestly hate it. You are not being truthful. I am not even sure you watch the matches. Below is a picture of a matchday during which they were both available but Theissen was selected over him. I have two other pictures, one for matchday 33 last season and the other for matchday 1 this season. I don't know your agenda here. Unless you are disputing the posted line up or he had malaria on those days, you need to present a better argument why this guy deserves a call-up. I could argue that Maduka featured only when Theissen was injured or not fit, cos for every game Maduka featured Theissen was never on the bench.

tbaba1234:
See Maduka fixtures below: You can see clearly that a surgery kept him out earlier in the season. And for the last game he had already joined up with Nigeria.

Maduka is coming in as third choice. Plus it is a friendly. He will not see any minutes most likely.

Ondoa was first choice for Cameroon playing for Sevilla B with barely any game time and gave a good account of himself.

tbaba12345:
What exactly is Nigerian football culture?? Bribery and corruption??

If a player is good enough, eligible for Nigeria and willing to play, the he can be invited to the senior team.
