Stars vs Team work, I would take Team work. Stars plus team work over team work anyday. But manu knows best because right now I believe he wants success over Germany more than anything and to him and his SUPER FLYING EAGLES I salute their courage and success will be theirs in couple of hours. Amen

Captainswag225:
thats wonderful, lets hope they all link up well, i jux cant wait to see iheanacho and taiwo awoniyi play together.

You are not the only one.
The devastating DUO

tbaba1234:
I just saw Iheanacho's spectacular goals. wow... In this form, the boy is unbenchable...

amazing speed, skills and cool left footed finish.

safarigirl:
walk into what? Bro, he'll still come on from the bench if he has to play the first game. Manu will not slot him in simply because he's had good games with City

This is the same team like two weeks ago that took apart man city EDS team 4-0 or something and he didn't play in that team.

[b][size=14pt]Kanu Advises Keshi To Use U20 Players[/size]



Former Super Eagles captain Nwankwo Kanu has called for the immediate integration of members of the current Flying Eagles team to the Super Eagles.

Speaking to SL10.ng, ‘Papilo’, as he’s fondly called, argued against the notion that the players are too young to play for the Super Eagles, and says the players are good enough irrespective of their young ages.

“If you see a player who is 16 years and you know he’s good, he’s good,” Kanu tells SL10.ng.

“Look at Wayne Rooney for example, at what age did he start playing for Manchester United? When I joined the National Team I was also very young, so the age doesn’t matter, but what the person can do,” he further says.

The former African player of the year goes on to counsel Stephen Keshi to give the players the needed exposure in the Super Eagles.

“The coach should use this opportunity to expose these young lads because the more they play with the experienced players, the faster they grow and improve.

“We don’t have to wait until they are 30 or 25 before they’re called to the Super Eagles because if they’re good, they’re good. You have to try them and if they are not good at least you’ve given them the opportunity,” he concludes.
[/b]

They should At least be taken to Chan. They should form the team to CHAN the majority that are still home base as they collectively defeated the best of the league in super six.
Papilo well said.

EagleScribes:



Bros, your point of view is subjective.

1) How many players from club academies if top clubs have become a hit like Messi since he graduated? What happened to them?

2) How many players from a country's U-20 are up to 5 playing top flight football today?

3) Iheanacho was the second highest goal scorer behind one guy from sweden. Pls where is the guy now?

4) How many stars from previous under-17 competitions are still top today?

5) Chelsea has the best U18 academy in Europe as we speak. How many of the players there will player first team football in the next 4 years? Will they be up to 5?

I can ask so many other questions.

Before you think of foreign coach,

How many standard youth set ups do you have. Or you think oyinbo man will come with his kits and simulation materials?

What is your local league doing about the development of these youngsters or will they be with oyinbo always?

How many of the youngsters play for development. Take it or leave it, they go for the money! No time

Please let's commend Manu Garba and hope for the best.

I rest my case

Am an advocate of quality coaching and I stand by my insistence on QUALITY coaches.
Most replying have not read my reply in full detail.
My suggestion is IF and ONLY IF MANU experiment does not work out should we sit and re-strategies and stop wasting our youths talent that would voluntry learn to be better just like many of you are in school learning to be professionals.

tbaba1234:


The NFF already have an Under 13 and under 15 programme throughout Nigeria.. That is what produced Chidera Ezeh and kelechi Iheanacho.

Germany has some of the best academies but they have never won the under 20 trophy.. So how does Nigeria not winning it call for foreign coach?

There are several reasons why we have not won the cup. The first is the use of overage players. until the introduction of MRI, most of our wins was through cheating and as a result, players do not develop. so by under 20, no progress is made... There are several examples of this.

Also, even when a player is genuinely young. They end up with slave contracts abroad that does not help their career growth. It is very difficult for African players to get decent deal abroad. Agent greed and the unwillingness of top European clubs to gamble on young africans is part of the issue.

The question is what is the value of so called youth coaches?
Teaching a 10- 13 years old soccer is different to teaching a teenager / young adult aged 18-21 what football entails.
we have heard of so many next Ronaldo and next messi and yet the original still does not yet have a clone.
Different players learn differently and coaches must understand what it takes to bring out that talent of tactical awareness and technical input out of a player.
Mouriho finds working with teenagers a headache but Guardola and van gaal would always go to the academy for full or emergency input.
When you watch NPL you would fully understand how technically inadequate our players are. when you play in an academy, a player package is total and complete from the academic point of view to all aspects of football and more importantly the player way of life point in case Morrison of westham or etim esin

[b][size=14pt]Is it time to find an ‘Oyinbo’ coach for Nigeria's youth teams?[/size]
A WriteUp by Prof Patrick Omo-Osagie



This is an undisputable football fact; Nigeria has the best youth programme in the world of football. We have won four FIFA U16/17 tournaments and we have placed second (twice) and third in the U20. So why are we finding it difficult to field a competitive Super Eagles team when we have such good competitive teams at the youth levels?

The answer by many football analysts is that these youth players flame out by the time they are ready for the Super Eagles because they were not of the proper age when they played in FIFA youth tournaments.

Another well used reason is that we do not have a continuity programme; many feel that the teams should be ‘shepherded’ along from U17 to U20 to U23 till Super Eagles for us to see results.

I cannot fault these reasons but I will ask this question; why do many of these same players who play for us at this level never really become good players even when they go play for clubs in Europe? They never become that great player we saw at seventeen; but I do have an interesting reason or in new sports language, I have a take on this issue.

Every time we have won the U17, there are always great expectations that we would win the U20 in the next go around, but this is yet to happen. The three previous U17 wins were followed by U20 teams that did not even finish in the last four. Maybe that is where the continuity argument holds, but not so for me.

I believe the problem is our lack of good coaching at this level; this is the level where all basic football knowledge is acquired. The use of sophisticated methods, drills and management are applied at this level and the results following our U17 success says that the teams are tactically unprepared and therefore out-played. The advantage we gain by using players over 17 in the U17s is nullified at the U20s, because boys of age 19/20 or men of 23/25 are physically the same, they are all in their physical prime.

We won the last U17 in 2013, we are playing in the U20 later this month, we are all very hopeful about this U20 team. Many are dreaming of the cup coming back to Nigeria, and I hope it does come to Nigeria. But if we fail as our records have shown, then I will be advocating for a foreign coach at this level and not at the Super Eagles level. This is where I believe we need help, real modern day football expertise, our players need this. They need it for their own football development and for a better Super Eagles.

There is a reason the present football federation is seeking Nigerians born and footballers bred outside our shores for the Super Eagles, there is a reason that the federation instituted a committee to find our young players at home and send them to foreign academies, the reason is that we don’t breed our young players the right or modern way. Our coaches are behind in the grooming of young players. We all witnessed the federation’s absurd suggestion to Keshi and his crew to go and get some coaching education and see how quickly it was rejected or ignored. The simple truth is that our coaches need sound and modern education in the field of player development and the U17 and U20 teams will be better served for now with an Oyinbo coach.

An Oyinbo coach at this level for us should be young, vibrant, full of ideas and cheap. He must come with an academy background from Europe and must have the ability to retain access to his academy so he/we can tap into their complete package of modern day football resources.[/b]

When I started reading ths article, a little groan escaped me and I said internally another arm chair but as I read on, his point became clearer.
Truthfully how well have we played at u20 level only to lose to teams not as gifted as half our teams in previous competitions.
Winning u17 agreed isn't easy but we have done it four times and yet not a single title at u20 level.
The most painful of this was the 2005 team where a tactically and later technical Argentina team defeated Nigeria against all odds with a future date maestro called messi.
And to prove that's its no fluke they did it again at the Olympic.
Before we allow emotions to carry us off and destroy our rational mind let's view it objectively. Nigeria was not defeated by a better team, we were defeated by a better tactical and technical team who knew they had a budding genius and they knew how to unleash him and ever since he has been our natural menace.
My point is I personally admire this coach called manu in so many levels and my personal wish is if we can have 4 of him why?
1 he learn his trade well under coach tella God bless his soul.
2 he has taken his time to sturdy it better by playing total football - mass defense mass attack, each player with multiple roles
3 he thinks on his feet and he encourages his players to do so likewise.
4 at u17 he lost to cote d'iviore because the team was tactical and technical, when he met Sweden he saw the same concept so he changed it round the next time he met this same opponents.
5 at the super six tournament he knew the games will be physical so he played his physical boys as against his technical ones. Hour repeated the same concept at Africa u20 because in Africa its all about strength. At the world cup it would be a mixed of his twin techniques
6 he is a natural talent spotter and immediately he knows where to use the player..
7. He learns fast and reads the game faster and as far as I have seen he has no room for sentiments he is all about success.
This are my points about him but the writer has a point also. Our players gets out there and they disappear and become irrelevant why?
Majority lacks the technical aspect of the game case in point Manchester united team inherited by van gaal, case in point how many Nigeria players are out there playing for top clubs and mikel doesn't count.
Footballers need to be well grounded in the basics of football and that is only done in academies not on playing field case in point Lampard at 17 was useless but at 24 he became the best of his English era.
Football foundation is imortant and all you have to look to confirm it us our local champions of NPL whom the u20 massacred at super six.
If and God forbids manu should fail, I think his suggestion is worth giving a try.

okay is this jealousy, at home she dresses any how ( not sexy at all ) but the moment she is about to step outside she transform into gorgeousness. so the question who is she dressing up for? me or the guys ( what is the word) that want "ogle" her?

can u imagine who would play God? who do u go for?

Nairaland is the best, there is just something for every body so far u know how to browse, its great to finally meet my people who loves "how I met your mother"

U guys should be called old school, The wire , Stargate Atlantis, God u need to reboot

Supernatural cannot end without God making an appearance because how long will his holiday last or is it sabbatical and the way those two spoilt brat (Lucifer and Michael ) are misbehaving God is bound to appear and I can't wait to see who would play his/ her character.
The show has always been crazy and I think those writers would push the envelope on God and not to forget this Winchester boys really believe they have a score to settle with him for allowing his brat to just toy with humans like rag toys.
The part that I can't stop freaking off about is writing out the concept of Jesus this show is crazy and it is the best.
I wouldn't be sup prised that one of the Winchester boys is the Christ those two boys have escape too many without being somebody, those boys make Angels tremble.

Any idea how to Ho about this process.

viazi:
U have a point there, but I strongly feel U've not used a tablet for long before. There is no way U can carry a Tablet around the way U carry phones. NOTE: A TABLET CANT ENTER YOUR POCKET, ITS ALWAYS IN YOUR HAND, PHONE ON THE OTHERHAND SPEND MOST TIME IN YOUR POCKET. I have the A1 and will buy the N9 this week too. We sure need the 2.

NOTE: A TABLET CANT ENTER YOUR POCKET, ITS ALWAYS IN YOUR HAND, PHONE ON THE OTHERHAND SPEND MOST TIME IN YOUR POCKET.
but it can enter either a male purse or male bag and there so many fashionable one's better than a back pack used for laptops. my brother open or imagination there is nothing sweeter than an open mind and am telling u this with my new N9 its sexy

I thought the power bank was going to be a standard issue with tecno knowing the power issue of Nigeria

viazi:

PHONE & TABLET different ohhh, F7 can be with U any where because it can enter your pocket and U can hold it easily but N9 is a Tablet which is not easy for U to cary everywhere. Tablet cant replace phone Bro.

Guys please let our imagination and sence of class flow.
The n9 as describe above is the best so far for its price a beast. So love-vendor it, get a Bluetooth ear piece so when u want to call u use that and u still use it for other things as u like, no stress.

What's with these Tecno treads that make some of you so antsy sef? I'm merely asking questions and you're flaring up like this...
As for your 'can't afford any' crack, I think folks who know me on Nairaland know I can easily afford to buy any gadget in the market.

Now, my point is, the most expensive Tecno phone now is the Phantom, and it's sold for 35k. Still uses the Mediatek MTK6577 SoC from early 2012...and that chipset has since been replaced by the quad core MT6589 series which brings in an upgraded CPU and a much improved GPU (SGX 544 vs the way inferior SGX 531). Phones running the 6577 chipset are now way cheaper these days, in the $150 range. I'd expect Tecno to reflect this in their pricing and leave the 35k range for their quad core series.

Then again, the Phantom's build quality looks nice, so I could be wrong and that's where Tecno is having to increase the cost somewhat.

I came in here with no intention of an argument...we're having a conversation on phones here. Please don't misconstrue my words, or assume you and I have the same financial challenges. Thank you

ur ego in speaking jargon is remarkable because u claim at being smart but u don't even have ur facts straight
1. this is an n9 thread not phantom A1/ f7
2. tecno knew they were going to enter the tablet market and they needed to do something different that would create the wow effect, so if f7 carried the quad core chip the tablet was going to struggle so f7 in all its glory got stuck with a dual core.
3. the market always determines the real price in the end and as long as free market exist different prices would always be found, the 35k was an intro price and as of last week before n9 entered the market I saw it for 32000 @ the village and now that n9 is out u can guess what it would be going for now, its market trend

texazzpete:

Nexus 7 16GB is sold for around 40k +.
Downsides? No rear camera, Wifi only (the 3G version is rare, may be around 5k more)
Upsides? Stock Android (so guaranteed updates from Google for years, faster processor, better GPU)



I'm not tackling anything/anybody. I think Tecno is ripping off its buyers, though.

no u are just a sorry ass of a human being that can't afford any and yet can wonder at how people are being ripped off and yet cannot provide a cheaper version except a mouth version

adegbem: review or no review i go buy this tablet i just need to see the product before letting go of my hard earn money.....abeg any body wey know where there selling it in osogbo or ibadan should let me know pls....

Come to computer village ur self, get the address here and buy then enjoy it trip back exploring the tab going back activating all applications

hopefully I would be able to give u guys a better review by next week

IAMBREEZY: the tab is 35k in

its 36k @ parktelonline but akin Akinsanya say with distributors its cheaper by one thousand

so to the non-professional happy go by movie browsing and memory junky it is a great product.
To the professionals that's all about specs well I can't say much because I don't know whether this product has a cortex A7 or A9 or whether it even run on cortex or on some other and with the great tablets I kept coming across Mali 400 which I don't know whether tecno n9 has.
so if a more technical servier person can help out it would be so highly appreciated.
most bloggers are just copy and paste bloggers, I read the same write-up almost all over which made me to end up being information Sterve

I have taking my time in deciding that tecno phantom 9 is worth the wait and anticipation.
Tecno actually took their time producing this product and its very distinct.
firstly from observation there are not many 8 inches tab out there most are 7, 9.1 or 10 inches
secondly, what an allfine fine 7 genius lack, that a pipo has, that an ainovo make up for and all do lacks is all imbedded inside tecno n9
on the outer surface the product combines all product enhancement all together

samwind1508@gmail.com

tonardo: Am enjoying this my china tab.,looks like nexus 7

what's the name of the product, the maker and it complete specs? Also where did u get it and for how much and any warranty plus basically just do comparison

Am not sure when they parktelonline added that its availability will be within 5-7 days so to start counting from possibly yesterday that is anytime from Monday it should hit the market
