My brother the matter tire me ooo. Is traore even better than deulofeu?

I am suspecting this move.

Does not make sense

When talking about best 20 under 23 players, will he cut the rank?

jihday:
Traore agreed to play for Mali on Wednesday, now Spain have called him up for their upcoming qualifiers

Spain of all people

is he that good to bench spanish players littered around the world?

Humility017:
you just type anyhow...if you've been following this award stuff since last year and safarigurl post imploring icon to come on board you won't have spill those words...


sorry to say this....u know I have always talk this always with you... you barely consider other variables while putting up yr words...


many here including me was thinking Icon and Andrew had automatic ticket into the committee reason why I didn't bother vote him....

he initiated this and last year he planned it...I remember how he severally called up the committee members last year especially komekn who forgot his responsibilities....

Icon4s carried everything on his head....


if you are a good student of politics...you wi understand that one of the demerits of democracy is that the best does not always win some times.... the majority choice may not always be the best....

next time ask for an explanation prior you start accusing some members here of not practicing democracy we have little knowledge about.....

I'm talking logic here not emotions.

I have made my point and moved on. not like I've any stake here.

Just stating the obvious.

Let democracy be democracy.

Made my point as usual.

kapish.

Kbs468:
I want to believe that it's not everyone that has access to this particular thread before now usually comes around everyday like others do,

Hence the inability to vote as at when due just like you are doing now by responding to a post that it water had already past under the bridge as the issue of icon4s is a forgone conclusion

Again, I for one never knew anything about this thread during the voting period as I just recently came across this thread few days ago too.

So, I wouldn't have been expected to vote rather than liking the post for his inclusion actually

That you got to the voting booth late does not mean the rules should be changed for you.

We are our own problem.
I keep telling my mom that she is wasting her time going to Urhobo Progressive Union meetings. The kind of politics dey play there just to vote American chapter president, and even the president at local level eh.. it's crazy at every level it's the same mentality. na so so wayo dem dey do to vote.. That's why we cant stand against what is wrong in this country because in our very little ways we are the same.

I was thinking exactly the same my bro but I didn't want people to start having a wrong impression, so I just kept quiet.

I respect Icons for not falling for this.

Na real was

Most Nigerians are like their politicians jare

TheSuperNerd:
I agree... Let's carry out a survey abi...

Okay... Let's check something...

Click like if you want Chief Icon4s on the committee

AND

Click share if there's no need for it...

Why did they not vote for him during nomination?

You guys can't even practice Small democracy here but are quick to insult real politicians.

All the 13 people that liked this comment had the opportunity to vote for him but didn't, now trying to break Democratic rules.

If he's not there or not really available, won't life continue?

Make una respect una self jare.

na una b d suffering & smiling type

even if the local brand is ok, the price too is ok??

That is the Nigerian effect for you

They exploit eachother or do you want govt to start fixing prices for items like the old military days?

omoola007:
I don't have a lot of issues with the boarder closure as long as it is temporary and when reopened it is well equipped to follow the set out rules by Ecowas convention. There needs to be a round table too discourage Benin, Togo and Ghana from allowing indiscriminate importation of goods that are clearly meant to be dumped in the Nigerian Market. That goes for every good not just Rice and Cars. I am surprised that frozen chicken and Turkey has not come up in the discussion.

Since we are taking about boarder closure to enhance the local economy, I would like the presidency to consider taking his 15 day vacation in Ogudu or Tinapa or any other resort in Nigeria rather than taking our hard earned Fx to London to rest. That too is as bad as importing RICE. Mr. President took power as a sick man and thank God he has fully recovered after spending probably what Ogun and Enugu states spends on its entire population's healthcare needs in hospitals in London where his money is not needed. Yet in 5 years, they cannot build a clinic (Not even hospital) fit for followup treatment...... Thousands of Doctors have fled Nigeria for greener pastures because the government continues to fail them.

Mr. President rides in Mercedes S class (German) with Land Cruiser Escorts (Japan) Why can't Innoson or Peugeot be commissioned to build a presidential fleet that will use Nigerian labour to build thereby building skill and expertise. Once again you say I should eat local rice yet you are driving foreign car.

Customs boss is happy the boarder are closed good for him, but have we heard that anybody has been disciplined or sacked for allowing full container loads of contraband pass through the bad roads that lead into the country (I say bad roads to emphasise that nobody speedily sneaks a 40 ft container into Nigeria you have to go slow and pass several custom checkpoints where palms are greased to ease movement), somehow nobody customs has been arrested or persecuted for taking the bribes... Before Alhaji Alli takes the spec out of our eyes, please tell him he has a big broom in his eyes.

Leadership is by example. Same way your children imitate you. Give us something worthy of emulating and watch Nigeria become a real giant of Africa.

Did they stop anyone from using sea and Land borders?

Did they stop you from importing any brand of cars or shoes through these medium?

Humility017:
there is need for comparison Mr.
have you heard comparative government and politics...

you compare and contrast... you can't say or link the corruption in European or non Africa countries to the ones prevalent in Africa...

you can't get a complete perfect system...but still that's not enough reason to rest on guise that being that corruption exist everywhere let's continue to tolerate ours....

only a man who aim not to make progress think that way....

I doubt the cadet team coaches in England would engage in the measure of corruption practised by same coaches in Nigeria....

even with their strict technological measures to abate corruption few cases are reported abroad...let alone Nigeria with inept technology and more cases are reported.....

corruption is the bane of our football growth

A sin is a sin oga

I don't have the power to argue online for long sir.

komekn:
I do.

Essentially because l personally know the European based agents some of them use.

Watch as they doubt this open truth

TGM2015:
Are you telling me that, those that are not working are not using their membership status to look for job and take up some little accounting/auditing work?

Did they not pay huge amounts in the first place to get the cert?

Why bill them that much again yearly?

ikorodureporta:
When good quality rice is N9k, you pay subsidy to yr croonies to produce above N20K of a lesser quality that you can't even export due to price difference...& you still pay for fertilizer subsidy....
I see una sense

Even if you want to start massive rice production, all states shld have plantation & processing facilities b4 this nonsense

Senseless govt. Why don't you leave the edibles at least. People can't buy fish, rice, but yr cows still roam freely across the borders

We have mmore than 15 states producing rice and more than 18 different brands of local rice.

oga pick another excuse or use the airways or seaport Mr importer

BlackfireX:
One man nearly killed his chicken for wasting the left over rice he poured for chicken to it....




Next hunger.

Can an hungry man feed his chickens with rice?

Hungry people don't even own rice not to talk of chickens.

safarigirl:
Nothing here is in any way prejuducial in the malicious manner a lot of you have put it. Not just that, but it is clearly hearsey, because he didn't hear it first hand, but was told by someone. if someone tells me something, it is not fact, unless coming from an original source.

Bear in mind, logistical costs is a valid reason at times. It is the same way, when we had a friendly recently, only those based abroad were invited, because the friendly was abroad and NFF didn't want to spend money on travels.


There is nothing here to prove that there was malicious intent to his exclusion, and there is nothing here to even say with certainty, that Alaba was dropped because he wasn't a local player.

Hearsey is generally, an inadmissible evidence.

Palm oil dey your head jare

edi287:
BAYERN Munich youngster, David Alaba, says he should have been playing representative football for Nigeria but was denied by stringent eligibility rule by football officials in the country.

Alaba, whose father is Nigerian and of Filipino mother, plays for Austrian national team but only after he has been turned down by Nigeria.
The defender said he actually planned to join Nigeria's cadet team which won the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship at South Korea but words reached him of his ineligibilty.

''I wanted to play for Nigeria but I must confess that there was no formal approach for me. A scout actually discussed that with me. I was excited because of my dad, he was a fan of Sunday Oliseh when Oliseh played for FC Koln. As a kid, I loved to watch Victor Agali in the jersey of Hansa Rostock,'' he told an Austrian news medium.

However, Alaba was shocked when told by the scout that Nigeria had plans mainly for its home-grown talents.
'' I got the information that Nigeria will only consider those who were in the country perhaps because of travelling logistics and that is the end of that."

Perhaps because of traveling logistics as stated in the article.

Is it normal to still be vomiting in 3rd trimester?

naptu2:
You should know that there are people that do not deserve a response. That's why I did not respond to her post.

Okay sir

chigoziri2403:
seems you are a novice, just put two pillows under her, it will give her traction, then you put both fingers, try it

Did you see any 2 pillows under her in that picture?

iSlayer:
The answer is none. Now compare that to your Local Coaches - Manu, Ugbade, Aigbogun, Keshi, Siasia etc etc

Corruption is corruption be it big or small, so no need for comparison.

The foreign coaches do theirs like it's part of the job. You can sometimes mistake it to be legal unlike the local coaches who do theirs without tact.

Another point is that most Nigerians don't see the corruption in foreign coaches handling the national teams due to complex.

komekn:
The only difference between Nigerian coaches and the European ones.

Is Nigerian coaches dont do thier corruption with coded discretion, just blatantly.

I thought I was conversing with a lady with home training.

Firstly, what would a road safety be doing on a high building?
Secondly, he already stated what the man may likely be but I won't dignify you with listing what he assumed him to be but the man is CERTAINLY not a firefighter.

Naptu2 does not work for the fire service, the government nor you, so he does not own you any answer neither do I but your myopic view won't let you get the point he raised in his comment.



Now have a nice night and let's end this here.

bilulu:
Thought you said he revealed the man’s identity. Like I said that uniform looks like that of road safety. Until you ve a counter claim..... shut dat mouth up

Is this the purpose for the creation of youth tournaments by FIFA?

tbaba1234:
Nope, under 17 is for your best talents at that age group. What is the point of showcasing inferior talents if they will still not make it out.

If we get the right blend, there will still be enough local talents, who will make it. The national team is for your best talents.

To boost Grassroots football, improve your league. League teams must have proper academies. The league teams are supposed to expose their kids to local and international competitions. The best ones will get picked.

How can you be in a woman in this position and still be able to finger the woman? Oga, are you a virgin?

chigoziri2403:
Wow, that's my favorite xxxxxxx style,
Just finger her join, and she will be off in no time

How will you know if they are of international standard? Because we didn't do well this year automatically means we don't have good legs here?

Remind me again, what is the purpose of the U17 tournament according to the originator (FIFA)?

jihday:
So if we invite the abroad ones they'll be better than the home based? That means you want us to go with players who aren't up to international standard, and when we fail at international tournaments we will start wondering what went wrong. Isokay

Is corruption only about money?
Have they been 100% clean including Rohr?

iSlayer:
Did they put money over merit?

U17 is for growing raw talents not for showcasing your best talents.

Most of the U17 abroad of Nigerian heritage already play in established club sides (Either main team of their academies) but in Nigeria, most are in school, academies with no transition to main league football. U20 and 23 are better-off used for these set of players if they eventually remain consistent while mixing them up with the best we can unearth from the U17.

If we don't do this, our youth football in Nigeria will go into oblivion because the foreign academies and clubs produce more.

Even European countries mostly favor their home breed (Youth) first before foreign, it's not sentiments but the right thing to do to encourage your system!

tbaba1234:
Choose your best players home and abroad. If we can get top European prospects of Nigerian origin to pay for us as youths, we can boost their careers and there is a good chance that they will play for us in the future if they reach their potential

Our goal should be creating the best national team players in the future. Open the floor and let the players compete. Then, make your selection fairly and without bias. That way, we lay a good foundation for the future.

The best local lads will make it and so will the best foreign lads.

You boost your odds for future talents. There should be no room for sentiments.

You self no say none of them is a saint, both home and foreign coaches.

Not when Nigerians are the ones running the NFF and employing these coaches.

Mujtahida:
Bro I no get the answer to this question oo

It is only when it's not a white coach that this accusation starts flying around like say we don't see what happens during the tenures of foreign coaches.

komekn:
You should know nobody wants to hear or admit to that bitter truth.

Please help me ask am o. Sometimes to reply some of the things I read here na serious headache. Too many emotional comments of recent.

Subzero047:
How is Lagerback ahead of Rohr?

Because one of the teams he handled didn't do well, he's suddenly mediocre. Some people are better off in Pammy joint discussing the cost of carrying an asshhy

BascoVanVeli:
Only a big fat clown will call Manu Garba mediocre or average. I don't even want to read the rest of your nonsense after that.

I should not put them there because they performed fairly in selections and tactics or in the caliber of players they invited to the national teams during their tenures?

Some of us don't have short memory o.

iSlayer:
Granted they did not succeed. But I can't see why you put Lagerback there or even Dennerby. Forget performance though, the context is this: How many out of those 3 put money over merit like Manu and the likes?
