beckyomas: Gee! Guys, this thread was opened 4yrs ago...na wah o

Too much Garrium sulphate is bad for the eyes.

Look again, the thread was opened January 8, 2013 and not 2008

honeric01: you mean opposing 7 attacking our 3 right?

elampiro: Dike didn't do well against Catalonia. The only highlight was the goal. May be he will come into Eagles in the future.

The guys that played midfield against Catalonia should be considered for first 11. They held the ball really well that day.

Bros, how you dey watch your own ball sef? Bright Dike did not do well against Catalonia? Are you ph.uckin' kidding me. . . .

Bright Dike was one of the best players in the 2 games he featured for the Eagles

You rate a player for his qualities and what he does with and off the ball in matches.

He's a power forward & has pace. He packs a powerful shot in both legs and is an aerial threat. Positional play, off the ball movement etc were quite good too.

Against Catalonia, he ran and closed down the spaces between the Opponents Centre backs and made their build up from the back slower, he dropped deep into our half to collect passes and was the only one with the confidence to hold the ball in the 1st half

His transitional play from defence to attack in that match that resulted in the goal was awesome too. Watch the goal. . . he collected the ball in our 18-box, passed it to Onazi, ran forward without the ball into position (watch the replay. . .2 players dropped back and stopped running when Onazi collected the ball) and when Onazi passed the ball to him at the edge of the box, he still had the presence of mind to side-step a defender coming from his "blind side" and bury the shot with his left leg at the back of the net.

No talk am again, Bright Dike did well against Catalonia!

Jarus: Still on Dike, I honestly don't know what Ejike is doing on that list. Na by force to include a home based if we don't have quality ones. Dike is better than Ejike and Keshi included Ejike ahead of Dike only to be seen as developing home-based. To me, Gabriel Reuben, Agbim and Oboabona are the only homebased that have business in that team.

honeric01: It's very easy to know people who do not have any idea on what they're talking about from their comments, that's why i don't bother replying their post.

I also think we need to do something about our LB and RB, I believe Kenneth can really play that role (RB), as for LB, having just Taiwo as a replacement means we're in deep shit. Taiwo of today is no longer the Taiwo of 2005, hence the reason clubs are passing him around.


Does it mean that we don't have any good HB LB in our league? Echiejile is not that bad but very inconsistent.

Yeah, I agree Kenneth Omeruo will do well at right back and really stabilize that position. He's done well @ that position in his two games for the Eagles.

At the 2010 AFCON, Echiejile was a better defender than T.Taiwo and even benched him after our opening match against Egypt but since then he's been poo in the Green-White-Green. Always clueless, indecisive & hesitant, poor tackling techniques, easily dribbled, lack of pace. . .defensively & offensively he's also zero. At least T.T had pace, was a goal threat with his explosive shot, was an option for free kick & sure bet for PK

Me thinks something drastic needs to be done to fill some positions in the Eagles like the left-back after the AFCON. . . .maybe a special open screening exercise to find a good & reliable fit. We've been through so many players from Mutiu Adegoke, Valentine Nwabili, Juwon Oshaniwon and they all do not inspire confidence.

Also, keep it in mind that most teams have natural right-footed players and will most likely attack through that wing. Na only God go help us for SA.

honeric01: Heheh my brother, they're more than just 2 o, some people with sentiments.

Rabiu should concentrate on how to get a regular playing time, if i were him, i would go to a small club where i can play regular football. if you can't play regularly, you won't develop. infact he should go to Segunda division in spain, like Villareal B, Barcelona B or Elche, then build his career from there.

honeric01: Yet some people 12large and thegoodjoehunt were comparing Rabiu Ibrahim with Nosa Igiebor.

The latter is far far far more exposed/better than the former.

Jarus: To me, Taiye Taiwo is better better than Echiejile. I don't know why Keshi picked the guy over TT

ola pluto: Half time changes needed: Onazi out, Reuben in. V.Moses Out, IK Uche in. Efe Ambrose out, Kenneth Omeruo in. If not, we may concede 2 quick goals.

Ejovwoke: Who still dey watch local station?

Owing by the way Confederation of African Football(CAF) sold its TV rights,Nigerians might not be able to watch the 2013 African Nations Cup on terrestrial TV(local stations).

It is understood that the rights owners, Sportfive, are asking for astronomical figures,before local channels can beam live the competition,in the Nigerian terrain.

SportsFive are insisting on €6M fee,for Nigeria alone,which is a high figure for Nigerian TV stations to part with.

If the Broadcasting Association of Nigeria(BON) does not meet the financial demands,required for the acquisition of the rights,then Nigerians would resort to satellite decoders,if they wish to view the tournament.

Since CAF sold its TV rights to the current holders,Sportfive,Africans have been having difficulties watching their national teams.

For instance,virtually all the away matches of the Super Eagles of Nigeria,during the 2013 Nations Cup and 2014 World Cup qualifiers last year,were not shown on TV,here in Nigeria.

CFCfan: It's a long time since I've listened to Olu Maintain's music. This one aint bad tho.

Oga semid4lyfe, me and ijebabe dey do "colleague-level" relationship.

Goodluck Jonathan to you both

ghettodreamz: Who go read all these ? semid4lyfe....summary please?

Just read the highlighted parts. . .thats all.

I'll break it down for those who are either too lazy to read or read and do not comprehend.

The finer points

1. He's saying African Magic/Hi-Nolly were bad ideas as it has led to the demise of the "mushroom" (my words & opinion) film makers/producers & marketers like Bayowa Films, Remmy Jes, Kas Vid, Infinity Merchandise, P. Collins, O.C Affassons etc

2. No more job for the boiz as lots of actors like him & others were being patronized by these "mushroom" movie producers/marketers

3. Since the advent of African Magic, Hi-Nolly etc, the sales of DVDs on the streets has dwindled. . . .

4. African Magic is ripping actors and producers off. . . . .

5. Nollywood was put together & built by hardworking peeps like him but now it has been hijacked by some corporate foreign investors and they're reaping all the benefits

6. Nigerian movies are now being shown on DSTV not with the original soundtracks but South African soundtracks.

7. South African actors & actresses are being promoted at the expense of Nigerian practitioners. .reference to Jacob Cross & Tinsel.

8. The present DG of the Nigeria Video Censorship Board (NVCB) had a stake in HiTV. The TV houses lobbied for him to be appointed DG and cos of his "self-interest" he imposed a rating/screening fee of N5Million and this made the movie business un-lucrative for the erstwhile investors so they ran out of business.

Hin dey bitter and yarn plenty things but as I dey phone, make I SMS for here. Maybe, others will break it down better. . . .
