What makes sense to you, is subjective. I am not religious, it makes sense to me and I don't need to explain what I mean to someone on the internet, and I will honestly never be able to explain it to anyone.

Liberal Christian seems like a stretch to me, what exactly is a liberal Christian?

I'm a moralist, but not religious.

Nigeria was 63rd in the world and 10th in Africa when Rohr was hired.

Nigeria is now 31st in the world and 3rd in Africa. We would be higher if Imama could coach.

Nigeria had failed to qualify for 2 AFCONs back to back.

We are now qualifying for tournaments with ease.

Westerhof became Nigeria's coach in 1989, his first trophy was in 1994 and he inherited a team that had just won the AFCON silver in 1988.

Rohr's side is starting to peak. The team is only Nigerian team on the rise. Let us not destroy the momentum. We saw how other national teams performed this year.

Many of us know about Nigeria players than some of the local coaches. Employ them and expect to see the likes of Nwakali who has not played club football in more than a year and Iheanacho who is struggling for game time back in the team.

We will start to see more inexplicable invites and wonder how they made the team.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have moved up the ladder in the latest FIFA Ranking for the month of October released by the world soccer governing body earlier today.

Nigeria moved from 35th position to 31st in the world moving up by four places thanks largely to the back to back AFCON 2021 Qualifiers win. Nigeria defeated Benin Republic 2-1 before seeing off Lesotho 4-2 and both wins have catapulted them to their placement in years.

However the country is still third in Africa behind Senegal who are the highest ranked African nation in placed 20th in the world and Tunisia who are 27th in the global ranking with African Champions Algeria rated below Nigeria in 35th position.

Morocco is ranked 43rd in the world and fifth in Africa with Ghana the sixth best placed Africa nation as they are ranked 47th in the world. Egypt in 51 position, Cameroon in 53rd, Mali in 56th position alongside Congo DR completes the list of top ten ranked African countries.

Globally, Belgium still remained the number one team in the world with World champions France in second position. Brazil, England and Uruguay complete the list of top five ranked football nations by FIFA for October.

have we really? the african especially the nigerian still does things that if a foreign invader from europe or asia wanted to attack your country they wouldn't need to lift a finger. people wilfully sabotaging your countries economy, acting as local fronts/spies for other countries enforcing laws that degrade humiliate your citizens list is endless

If you are "not religious", that would mean you do not belong to any religion. And that would automatically make you an atheist. You either believe in the existence of a God or gods, or you don't (unless you're agnostic). If you do believe in God(s), then you are religious, if you don't, then you're an atheist. It's that simple. It totally possible to be an atheist and also have moral standards.

A " liberal Christian " is one who forms his worldview based on a flexible interpretation of the Bible to accommodate social and scientific trends rather than on rigid biblical commandments. For example, Liberal Christians may support gay marriage rights, feminism, evolution e.t.c though these are in direct contradiction with the Bible.


P.S: I realize your religious beliefs is your personal business and I would totally understand if you choose not to further this discussion. I'm just curious that is all.

Taliban:

You forgot to add that in 90 westerHoff won silver with a team no one gave a chance as most of the 88 team pulled out for whatever reasons. And yes Rohr should be retained if possible.

forgiveness:


And you and the millions are still writing in Queens language?

Who are the owners of Nigeria? Why don't you learn from the Algerians and Ethiopians, instead of insisting on ownership of Nigeria that doesn't exist?

tbaba1234:


I am aware of that but that is not my point..

safarigirl:
I already told you before that when I say "I am not religious" I mean "I am not a fanatic"

I Told you what I meant by it, but you want me to change the English to how you will understand it. I am not mandated to tell it to you as you want it, but as I see it and as it pertains to me.

And learn the difference. I am not religious, at best, would be, I am agnostic. An agnostic believes in God, but does not believe in the religions like Christianity and such, not to be mistaken for an Atheist, who does not believe in God at all.

I like plenty talk, but I hate when people want me to go round a circle or want to corner me to say things as they want.

Taliban:


My point too is that your write up makes it seem Westerhoff inherited a great team in 89 and didn't achieve anything worthwhile until 94 which could also not reveal a full picture.

Anyway Happy Thanksgiving sir.

i just can't wait to see Nigeria in top 20

tbaba1234:
We see how money selection has permeated through all the national teams. It would be a disaster if we give the super eagles back to agents who just want their players in the team so they can sell them. Many of the people who want Rohr gone have selfish ambitions.

tbaba1234:
If Pinnick's NFF decide to let Rohr go then a quality replacement who has integrity must be brought in. I can not even trust the NFF to do that going by their coach choices in other national teams.

Imama, Aigbogun and Manu still have jobs.

charlesemeka85:
good coaches don't come cheap. rohr was a gamble that worked for the nff so far so it will be ignorant of them to let him leave.

U live in it.

It belongs to the west.

that why the so called football enthusiast and media are bent on spewing propaganda just to get him sacked because if they re truly lovers of the national team they won't allow their selfish intents blind them from the progress the team have made so far since coming of rohr.


Building a national team takes time, it begins with trial and errors until the right tactics and players are mastered and groomed to understand each other. it took westahof 4 years to put together the most successful team we have ever had that went on to qualify for their first world cup outing, winning the afcon and ranked fifth by fifa in the whole world.

Rohr has his flaws and short coming but with the work he has done so far with the team which is positive so far it will be disastrous to let him leave.

from his statement so far he wish to continue with the team but demands that his contractual agreement with the nff must be respected in terms of payment of his allowances and wages while the nff as well invite him for talks on renewing his contract. if truly rohr wish to abandon a team he nurtured from scratch to one of the best in the continent currently he would have left immediately after the afcon.

chrisooblog:
your second paragraph is the heart of the matter. even in club football where their is less patience especially with top sides club owners (who are not perez of real madrid lol) are wary of getting rid of coaches just because they haven't won a trophy especially when they see progress in quality of team play and results. progress which you rightly said could eventually lead to trophies. examples of this abound joachim loew gradually built the germans from 2006 until they peaked in 2014. liverpool under kloop, man city under pep.

you will also notice that such club owners don't hesitate to sack such managers when they see a drastic drop in quality of team play and results even if the coach won a trophy the previous season. that's why raneiri, di matteo and even our legend late stephen keshi got the axe because their teams were showing decline in output.

with rohr i'm seeing steady progress and improvement. people might argue that he is just a klismann or luis aragones type to act as a bridge before a better fit comes in but with the current nff's poor record of choosing adequate coaches i concur with you that we stick to the bird in hand for now

'We have world class players, Rhor is holding them back he needs to free them so we can be beating teams by 5 goals minimum. If only Rhor played attacking football we'd have been world and African champion by now'
