Nigeria and entitlement sha... Why is this even news. They choose the country that bred them and nigerians dey run riot here. They don't owe nigeria anything. Moreova we have players,which one is nigeria is bigger than any player. E no concern you, we never call the ones wey dey here finish. |

Reference: You're talking of age category? Tammy and Tomori can't possibly come and play in any underage category now. Now, at senior team level, England is better rated than Nigeria and they both have more chances at world cup than Nigeria. Besides, playing in Euro is more prestigious than Afcon. Would you compare afcon which just ended to glamorous euro? England is a better choice for them, provided that they will be in competitive good forms to continue earn call-ups. Sterling is a Jamaican, yet has had more caps than Victor Moses who is a full blooded Nigerian and opted to play for Nigeria. How many caps did Abbey George have for Nigeria before we left him? What about Leon Balogun that being forgotten now? Being regularly called up to national team depends on the form, if they are out of form and and they choose Nigeria, Nigerians will call for their exit in no time also. Ighalo, our top scorer in recent years, at afcon qualifiers and afcon tournament was frustrated out of national team to retirement. Victor moses was our top scorer for world cup qualifiers, had bad world cup and Nigerians were calling for his head, the guy had to retire. To Tammy and Tomori, england is more homely to them than Nigeria. It was expected for them to choose England over Nigeria unless england didn't call for them. 1 Like |

Jaqenhghar: *edited* Be careful of who you talk to NL. It's a faceless forum but it can make or mar you. Trust me. I got my first ever Contract here on NL ...*edited*. I am not joking. I know you a young man trying to make a living or possibly understand your chosen direction in life. Now if I may ask, young man, where else have you been just within the shore of Nigeria aside the state you were born and possibly state of origin. Let's start from here first...be honest. |

Angelfrost: You're quick to name those that failed because they weren't good not because of their origin. Sterling is from Jamaica, yet plays regularly fro England. Walker is also from Jamaica. Dele Alli was playing regularly for England until his recent drop in form. He could have continued been playing if he was still in form. Jordan Ibe wasn't good enough. If had played for Naija also, we would have forgotten him by now. Tell me his exploits at his club? Every country drops out of form players. Where are Anichebe for Nigeria now, Joseph Makinwa, did Isaac Promise make it to Super Eagles despite playing for Nigeria and captaining them at U17, U-20 and 23. There are several other players Nigeria have also used and abandoned. Where is Victor Moses, despite being top scorer for Nigeria at world cup qualifiers, he was derided and hated for poor WC outing till the poor boy had to retire. How many caps did Abbey George have for eagles? Is Leon Balogun in SE first team again? Where is recently capped Brian Idowu who also had dual citizenship with Russia or so? He has been forgotten after the world cup also. Both Tammy and Tomori would be forgotten in Nigeria also if they eventually aren't good enough for Nigeria. It is about player's form that determines being called-up. |

peeps4u: I agree with you... But, we are talking about getting into the first team. At least the names you mentioned got the opportunity to show whether or not they had what it took to go the distance. What opportunity did Jordan Ibe get??! Did he ever stand a chance to begin with??! |

It's their decision and I have to respect them got it If I may ask, what was Nigeria's contribution to where they are and who they've become ? If they had grown up in Nigeria, would they have had those early opportunities they had in GB? Let's work on ourselves as a nation and such people will beg to play for us. |

Angelfrost: Ibe was never at a time good enough to earn england callup sincerely. He was overlooked, not be cause of Nigerian factor but because he wasn't good enough. If Dele Alli could earn call up when he was in top form, why didn't he? Being dropped has nothing to do with nationality. Look at Walcott, Welbeck, Wilshare today, they've all faded out because they aren't inform and wilshere and Walcott are full blooded English men. If they were Nigerians that opted to play for england and forgotten now, we would be saying because they were Nigerians. I believe if sterling, a Jamaican and black race, could earn callup and even be one of England's key players, any Nigerian that's good enough would also break in. I quite agree any player will have more chances of playing time for Nigeria than england because we can't compare the calibre of both teams, but I don't agree Tammy and Tomori will be forgotten soon even if they continue to give top performances for clubs and country. They can only be dropped if they flop just as they can be drooped if they flop for Nigeria. 1 Like |

geosegun: Bro we are not arguing abput where you have been to. You keep missing the point perhaps you have comprehension issues. Abeg gget someone to explain |
Re: Kanu Reacts To Tammy Abraham And Fikayo England Call-Up by geosegun(m): 12:37pm On Oct 04, 2019 |
Jaqenhghar: So where did this emanate from? read your comment below? "Who say the grass is not green? I bet you have never been anywhere"...and ...."Stick your lying words up where the sun don't shine." Despite the fact that you use an uncouth language. I decided to ignore and explain further but you still went ahead to say something worse? I can bet you lack home training. I am sure if we meet one-on one. I will I will be so disappointed in my person and regret, ever responding to your comments, for the rest of my life and hence I will let it be now and allow you to say whatever you deemed necessary. I have forgiven you. You are free to believe and say whatever you want, young man. This will be my final response to you. NB: I will edit the places I have been as I am not the type that brags. I Just want to prove your assertion wrong. |

Nigerians are comedians. Why is it that all you guys want is to reap from where you refused to sow?. England invested in these boys. They painstakingly established and nurtured a very effective youth football system. It is this same scheme that produced these lads that some of us are here foaming in the mouth about. Will you be surprised if you read that these boys parents subsided on state welfare payments at some point to stay alive and help them get to where they are today?. What has your pretty Nigeria ever done for you that these fellows will need to kill themselves for Nigeria?. Your Nigeria has never, and probably will never take the pain and discipline to stand anything on its feet, but will greedily open its hands to receive. Until this country, and I mean the individuals therein, learn and begin to hold the system responsible for their behavior, do not expect any sacrifice from people who have battled their way through life to serve your benefit. The entitlement mentality in the Nigerian society just plain stinks. If Mr Abraham and Mr Tomori were domiciled in Nigeria, your government and society at large, having not done anything to further them, and having applied every wicked and selfish scheme known to man in furtherance of their diminish and dehumanization agenda such that happens to every Nigerian youth of today at every turn, will ultimately badge them lazy youths. In their heart of hearts, these dudes may want to file out on the play field proudly wearing the Super Eagles Jersey on their back, but given what you and I know about Nigeria and it's ways, common sense will instruct otherwise, even at the risk of less play time and stiff competition at 3 lions. Lastly, I believe that their decisions were dictated to them by a nation that has refused to grow, and that which lack a care or reward culture for which it's future generation can proudly hold on to, even in hope. |

geosegun: Oga this is not about how much is in your account or where you have been. You said something along the lines of grass not being green on the other side which is not true and I said if it is true that the grass is not green, why are people still queuing up in different embassies and cant wait to leave this dump? You started going off into your travel logs. When you see me you shouldnt be surprised because I havent told you anything about myself nor have I tried to make any impression. You accuse me of using uncouth language but you were the person calling someone a fool for expressing himself. I know in Niggeria its a taboo to disagree with wealthy people but I wasnt raised that way. Your having miney does t mean we should nod everytime you speak. 1 Like |
