Any Super Eagles player who is not ready to bleed for the green and white should kindly excuse himself from the National team.

He should kindly retire from International football or decline an invitation.

Most of the pitches in Africa are substandard and not upto par.

We should pass the following players in the November window.

Akor Adams
Wilfred Ndidi
Chief Stanley Nwabali
Tolu Alukodare
Bruno Onyeamachi
Osayi Samuel
Moses Simon
Frank Onyeka
Onyedika Raphael
Taiwo Awoniyi
Chukwueze

SACK COACH ERIC CHELLE NOW....
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by SolaFide(m): 7:32am On Sep 30
Coach Chelle is too one-dimensional. He is obsessed with the 4-4-2 diamond and reverts to a 4-2-3-1 with a double pivot when chasing games. Even the Moroccan coach said that as long as you isolate Iwobi and cover the middle holes, the Eagles have no other plan for penetrating a low block team. We are the Chelsea of Africa!

Chuks4041:
Nwabali for whatever reason should not near super eagles or preferably relegated to the bench. For crying out loud , the four goals scored against him ,he never attempted to even dive. Similar to the goal scored against in the last afcon( Tunisia). Then he was complaining of injury? Is he still injured?
It is only Nigeria that a player playing regular football in Italy will be benched for a Chippa United player. It's well.
Okoye would have solidified his place as number 1 but he threw his chances away by coming late to camp.

Arthur Okonkwo should be in goal against Russia
Sports › 7 Things Eric Chelle Must Do To Get Our AFCON Campaign Back On Track by SolaFide(op):
1. Coach Eric Chelle must ditch his diamond formation. Chelsea played with this formation and won the Champions League in 2012/2013. To deploy this formation, one needs players like Mikel, Miereles, Makalele, Ramirez and Kanté. Ndidi has spent his prime at Leicester, as he can no longer do the tackles and cover the ground as he used to when he was younger. In the future, we should utilize the 3-5-2 formation, as ex-coach Gernot Rohr did. Eric Chelle must be flexible with his formation.

2. We need to integrate young, budding defenders like Benjamin Fredrick, Ryan, Nwaiwu, Igoh and Fernandez. Bruno, Zaidu Sanusi and Osayi are unreliable. Osayi has been piss poor for his club; same with Bruno, who sits on the bench at his club.

3. In midfield, we need young, energetic midfielders like Nnamdi, Akinsamiro, Samson Tijjani and Yusuf. Onyeka reminds me of Esiti and Fegor Ogude, all brawn without brain. Onyeka has no business getting invited to the Super Eagles. We should also move past Ndidi. Ndidi hardly plays for Besiktas. He has only played a game. Onyedika flatters to deceive; he is not Super Eagles material. I would rather have Etebor back than Onyedika and Onyeka in midfield.

4. Call up only 3 attackers in this order: Osimhen, George Ihelichana, Gift Orban/Rafiu Durusimi. Based on current form, I will pick Iheanacho over Akor Adams and Taiwo Awoniyi.

5. Call up young and electric wingers: Femi Azeez, Oseni, Zadok Yohanna to bring up competition in the role. Simon Moses should be phased out. Chukwueze can play sometimes. I was laughing when I saw Simon Moses step up to take that free kick because I knew it would be wasted. When last did we score from a free kick? Do we have a dead-ball specialist in the team at all?.

6. Nwabali should not be our number 1. Okoye does not look too committed to the team based on his body language. Arthur Okonkwo should be given a chance in November. Nwabali made no attempt on the four goals we conceded in the last two games. He was caught ball-watching in all four goals we conceded.

7. Scout for players who can improve the team immediately.

WHY DIDN'T NFA COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BAD PITCH?
IT WAS THE REASON AINA REFUSED TO PLAY. HE STILL REMEMBERS THE LAST WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA IN A POTATO FARM.
NFA DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO COMPLAIN TO CAF BECAUSE THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF BAD PITCHES IN NIGERIA

In the future

Aside Iwobi

Ndidi, Onyeka and Onyedika have no business donning the green and white green

We need a total overhaul in midfield.

Ndidi is a tired war horse.
Onyeka reminds me of Esiti, Fegor Ogude.
Onyedika is not SE material.

We can still manage Alhassan in midfield.

Do you know someone who wants to quit drinking beer? Or maybe you want to stop drinking too.

Wash potato peels thoroughly and dry them in the sun. Make sure they are completely dry. Grind them to make a fine powder.

Add a pinch of the powder to their beer every time they drink. They will start to dislike alcohol for good. Just do this for 1 week.

Gift Orban eligibility dispute: No Verifiable Records Show That he Played For Togo National Team With Different Name and Age

There are no publicly verifiable records showing that Super Eagles-eligible forward Gift Emmanuel Orban represented Togo in a CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier under a different name and age, despite an eligibility allegation that has followed the striker since 2023.

The controversy resurfaced recently after reports again raised questions about Orban's eligibility to represent Nigeria, following his impressive start to the 2026/27 season with Turkish club Amedspor.

The allegation dates back to 2023, when the Togolese Football Federation reportedly questioned Orban's eligibility for Nigeria and claimed that he had previously represented Togo in a CHAN qualifier using a different identity.

However, the reports that have repeated the allegation have not publicly identified the alleged alternative name, date of birth or age.

OwnGoalNigeria reported in November 2023 that Togo claimed Orban had played for its B team under a different name and identity and that documents supporting the claim had been forwarded to the Nigeria Football Federation.

The report did not publish the alleged name, age, or documents.

A subsequent OwnGoalNigeria report published in June 2025 described the allegation more specifically, saying Orban had allegedly represented Togo in a CHAN qualifier under a different name and age.

Again, however, no alternative identity or match documentation was provided.

RSSSF records provide no evidence of an Orban appearance

A review of the available RSSSF records for Togo's 2020 CHAN qualifying campaign provides no evidence of Orban playing for the country under his known name.

Togo faced Benin in the first round before meeting Nigeria in the second round.

In the first leg against Nigeria on September 22, 2019, RSSSF lists Togo's starting XI as Abdoul Aigba, Klousseh Agbozo, Abdoul Bode, Kossi Jean Ozou, Messan Toudji, Gnama Akaté, Junior Akakpo, Koukouvi Amekoudji, Yendoutie Nane, Ashraf Agoro, and Marouf Tchakei. Orban is not among them.

The return leg, played in Lagos on October 19, 2019, also has a detailed Togo line-up in the RSSSF archive.

The listed players were Abdoul Aigba, Abdoul Bode, Kossi Jean Ozou, Kangnivi Tchoutchoui, Messan Toudji, Gnama Akaté, Koukouvi Amekoudji, Yendoutie Nane, Ashraf Agoro, Kossi Koudagba, and Marouf Tchakei, with Ismail Ouro-Agoro and Kparo Ahoro introduced as substitutes.

Orban is again absent from the record.

Togo won the tie 4-3 on aggregate and subsequently reached the 2020 CHAN tournament.

No alternative identity established

The central issue is that the allegation concerns an alleged appearance under another identity.

Therefore, the absence of the name “Gift Orban” from the match records cannot by itself disprove the allegation.

A player using an entirely different registered identity would not necessarily appear under his known name.

However, no publicly accessible record reviewed for this report identifies the supposed alternative name or age.

That means there is currently no verifiable basis for publishing a specific name or date of birth as the identity Orban allegedly used.

The distinction is important because repeating an allegation does not establish the underlying event.

Orban has denied representing Togo

Orban has consistently rejected the allegation.

Recent reporting by Afrik-Foot recalled the dispute and quoted the striker as saying: “It’s false, I have never played for Togo.”

The publication also reported that the Togolese Football Federation had contacted the NFF after Orban's first Super Eagles call-up and alleged that he had appeared for Togo in a CHAN qualifier under a different name and age.

Orban's publicly recorded identity is Gift Emmanuel Orban, born on July 17, 2002, in Benue, Nigeria.

Transfermarkt and BDFutbol both list the same name and date of birth, while FIFA also identified him as a Nigerian player born on July 17, 2002, in a 2023 profile.

Nigeria had already called him up

The Nigeria Football Federation officially included Orban in José Peseiro's squad for the September 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against São Tomé and Príncipe.

The NFF's announcement, published on September 3, 2023, listed Orban among the forwards invited for the match in Uyo. It was his first senior call-up to the Super Eagles.

Orban did not make his senior international debut in that match.

The eligibility controversy subsequently became part of the discussion surrounding his international future.

Previous reports claimed the issue was settled

There is another important element to the story.

In November 2023, OwnGoalNigeria reported that sources within the NFF considered Orban free to represent Nigeria after the eligibility issue had apparently been settled in his favour.

The report described the alleged Togo claim and said documents had been sent to the NFF.

However, that report did not publish an official CAF ruling, the alleged Togo documents or the supposed alternative identity.

Consequently, the report can establish that such a claim was made, and that sources said the matter had been settled, but it does not independently establish the alleged Togo appearance.

What the records establish

The available evidence therefore supports several points.

Orban was officially called up by Nigeria in 2023.

The Togolese side reportedly challenged his eligibility and alleged that he had previously played for Togo in a CHAN qualifier under a different identity.

Orban denied ever playing for Togo.

RSSSF's publicly accessible records for Togo's 2020 CHAN qualifying matches do not list Orban under his known name.

Most importantly, the reviewed sources do not identify the alleged alternative name and age.

Therefore, it would be inaccurate to state as an established fact that Orban played for Togo under another identity.

The story remains an eligibility allegation

Orban's current club form has brought the issue back into the spotlight.

He has scored seven goals and provided two assists in six Turkish Süper Lig appearances for Amedspor this season, according to Opta Analyst.

His performances have renewed interest in whether he could eventually receive another Super Eagles invitation.

But the available evidence does not establish that he previously represented Togo under a different name and age.

For a definitive answer, the relevant football authorities would need to produce the alleged CHAN registration, match sheet, player identification documents or an official eligibility decision showing the name and date of birth under which the player was registered.

Until such documentation is made publicly available, the claim that Gift Orban represented Togo under a different name and age remains an unverified allegation, rather than an established fact.[color=#990000][/color]
