bigbrovar:
I just knew u would ignore the part of how you new coach used the same formation with Amodu

As soon as you own up to being wrong about the formation Largerback used, i will.

bigbrovar:
Anyway like I said Amodu is not a saint. He has his fault, It would have been nice like u said if he had brought in more fresh blood to the team why I didn't (or couldn't we would never know) Some coaches love to stick with players who have distinguished themselves. If I were do choose a coach for Nigeria I would pick siasia who seem more enterprising and adventurous a coach who knows what he wants will not take BS from any player and a someone who is disciplined. This are not characteristics I would attribute to Amodu but this does not make him as bad as many portray him to be. There is no luck in football But anytime Amodu wins it is luck (or the players individual skills) and when he loses its all his fault, see how he is in a no win situation? Amodu would have won the nations cup and Nigerians would still have hated him and called him incompetent. People say oh it was Mozambique that qualified us for the world Cup forgetting that Amodu's team did not lose at home, A feet the Tunisians were unable to achieve in even all they needed was a draw.

It would not have just been 'nice'. It would have been extremely good. It would have been doing what any good coach is supposed to do. it's not the option, the luxury people like you try and make it out to be. It is a neccessity to keep the team competitive. And Amodu failed us in that regard.
I'm interested as to how you're so convinced that Siasia 'will not take BS from any player'. The man has been a youth team coach for Nigeria - he has never had to contend with the oversized egos and the 'mafia' and 'cabals' within the team. As Junior team coach, he has not been placed under the same pressure from the NFF as Amodu was. I'm not saying he's not all you describe him as, but the man has not yet gone through that baptism of fire.
What i find funny is that in your own words, you admit that amodu is not very enterprising, adventurous and is somewhat susceptible to player influence. Is this the kind of coach you as a self-described Eagles fan would love to see coaching Nigeria?

And yes, luck does exist in football. SOmetimes you make your own luck, like the US yesterday sending waves of strikers up front at the Algerians, exerting serious pressure until they scored. But sometimes you're just plain lucky. Take a look at the South Korean players and coach's faces when Yakubu missed that ball that even my 80 year old grandmother will score. Against Mozambique away, we were repeatedly torn to shreds and saved by the bar on more than one occasion. I will not dwell on this point. Suffice it to say that the Eagles under Amodu stumbled their way to many undeserved wins and draws. And that is no comfort to true fans.

bigbrovar:
Nigerians should try and be Objective, Before u criticize a man try and walk his shoes. How many can work in a Condition where you allowances was not being paid, where even though you delivered people always criticized you? where even your employers looked you in the face and said whether you perform well or we are still going to replace you? I mean how many people can work under such situation and still win something? Amodu is not responsible for the rot in the Nigerian league. Did your white man coach take any Home based players to the world Cup? At least he had Amokachi (the coach of the home based Eagles) and Other Nigerian Assistance in his coaching team who could have helped him in his picking someone from the Home based. Putting into consideration the condition that Amodu had to work in I would give say he did a great job as no white coach would ever ever work in such a condition.

Forget all the hype; Amodu's allowances were being paid. Perhaps sometimes not as promptly, but they were being paid. When you're the coach of your national team and you're reasonably well off yourself, pride and patriotism is a good enough motivation to get you through. I'm not suprised you're descending into melodrama; No one told Amodu to his face that they were going to replace him even if he did well or not. And i do not imagine that stumbling to a third place finish in the Nations cup was 'doing well'. The World Cup is where the real deal is at. Go ask Egypt - they'd have gladly traded places with Algeria. We just could not trust Amodu with doing anything good with the team at the world cup, not after their poor displays at the Nations Cup.
Stop swallowing Amodu's FUD about his 'work condition'. He was given a job to do and paid to do it. if at any time he felt that he was not being well rewarded for his services, the honourable thing to do would have been to quit. When you stay on a job on which the hopes and dreams of Nigerians rest upon, you damned well better do the Job. Of all the excuses you've given, this is the silliest.
I hope you're this generous when doctors, police, teachers and firemen give you for rendering poor services to you.

bigbrovar:
Same Osaze had something to say about your new white man's method. And how is he a decent coach? what has he achieved before coming to Nigeria? remember he failed to qualify his own country to the world cup and really wikipedia this guy and tell me what he has achieved? Amodu has more laurels than this guy (yeah even if he is a bad coach, he has won league titles with BBC Lions, El kanemi (On many Occasions) and even won the CAF Cup winners Cup. Outside the shores of Nigeria he performed very well in Orlando Pirates in South Africa and has had like 2 Bronze Medal effort in African Nations Cup. This are not the best of CV for a coach but really there are not the CV of a bad horrible Coach. You white man does not even come close to this.

Yeah, local coach, local methods. Unlucky for us that FIFA lists other members apart from African Nations.
Shebi Osaze confessed that Amodu had NEVER used game videos as part of their training program? remember that these are not the words of an embittered player, so that's much more likely to be an honest statement.
The taste of the pudding is in the eating. And when entrusted with the Eagles, Amodu made sure he was responsible for the future decline of the team.

bigbrovar:
From the looks of things the way the world cup played out Lars Lagerbäck is definitely not the messiah we need. He lacks complete lacks of understanding of Nigerian Football, (maybe he needs time) But playing Kaita as 7? i mean (wtf?) we lacked width in this team and yet we had someone like Utaka on the bench. U need to hear what Osaze said about his tactis. For the sake of consistency I would say keep it and give him time. But we have to admit his first report card is an F9.

'Someone like Utaka'
When last did Utaka turn in a decent performance for club or country? After seeing his shitty display against Chelsea, i wanted no part of him. You'll find that most SE fans were even questioning Utaka's inclusion in the squad sef.
Your comments about Kaita are valid opinions, but the same Kaita had been glorying in the attention his position on the right got after the Colombia match. Supersport reported that his teammates were thrilled will his performance, dubbing him the 'new finidi'
http://www.supersport.com/football/article.aspx?Id=351446
Kaita himself was so thrilled, he put this up on this Facebook page as 'Link to article calling me the new Finidi'

So for all intents, kaita had an 'outstanding' game on the right against Colombia. Why is Largerback now being reviled for playing this same fellow on the right?

Osaze's comments are not to be taken seriously, and anyone who does so needs to be seriously ashamed of himself. This was how Yekini came out blasting Westerhof after we narrowly lost to italy, claiming his teammates were instructed not to pass the ball to him.
If you believe Osaze's comments, why not also accept Yekini's silly accusations against the likes of Siasia and Westerhof (our most successful coach ever)?

bigbrovar:
see him calling himself real super eagles fan. I don't need to show my barge and no need to bring in sentiment. Be objective, most of your Argument (as always) are never based on facts. You are yet to state how a coach who even though in one of the easiest groups in the world cup manage to grab just one point? lost to greece? I mean Greece beside Nigeria were the weeping boys of out team. Yet we could not beat Greece. And we lost to S.Korea even though we had the game in our hands. I mean back me up with facts and stop being emotional about this. I rather be a sensible thoughtful Minority than be in a reactionary Mob

Our group was relaitvely EASY. Why? because it contained Nigeria. On any milestone, any scorecard or any yardstick, we were always lumped among the weak teams. When people start blabbing about our group being 'easy', i wonder if they realise that Nigeria in there serves to reinforce the 'easy' tag. To South Korea, our group was 'easy' because it had us and Greece. ditto for the greeks. I can bet they would have been far more scared of drawing Cameroun or Ivory Coast.
That is Amodu's legacy - we are now a weak, third rate team. Sure, we can hold our own in Africa (for the smaller teams), but even then i'd be extremely apprehensive going up against the likes of Egypt, Ivory Coast, Cameroun and Ghana. Hell, we look more shaky than the South Africans.

That is Amodu's legacy. And Largerback (Or perhaps Siasia) will have their work cut out for them to lead us out of this mess.

bigbrovar:
Again u ask as silly question. I was not referring to any coach, in fact my point is that the problem and the rot in nigerian football goes behind just coaching. we are nolonger producing the quality of players as we use to before. what progress has we made in the last 8 years? The last time we were at the world cup we lost our first game ( to argentina) 1-0,  lost the second game (after going ahead) 2-1 and drew out last game. even then we were coached by a Local coach who was under a much more difficult situation then nigeria is now. he raised a team almost from scratch like 1 month to the world cup. and we were in the group of death them (Argentina, England, Sweden) Fast forward 8 years and nothing as changed even with a white man in charge. How many players do we have playing in Top teams? There was a period when our players got the african player of the year award 4 times consecutively now we dont even make the 10 ten. The only Nigeria player playing for a top club is Mikel but even he is not a super regular he is more of a squad member than a first 11.
.   You can not give what you dont have. I dont think I Amodu is the best coach in the world but he is not as bad as many Nigerians make him to be. Yes is his not Charismatic but this guy has records that speaks for him. Twice he has Qualified the team to the world cup. Twice he was sacked and replaced and twice his replacement got let the world cup with a single point. Through out the last time he was coach of Nigeria he lost only one game. Just one game and he was fired. This guy took so much BS from Nigerians and our FA and yet he never complained. His allowance was not paid, he was even told while in the nations cup that no matter what he would be replaced whether he does well or not. How many people can work under such conditions? yet he still got the nation a bronze medal. our last white man coach got us nothing in the last nations cup remember? Fine Amodu is not a Good coach yet your white man coach used this same squad he too to nations cup to the world cup. used the same formation he used. and Nigerians are now saying he should be retained? where is the consistency? if he had been amodu we would have hung him . we would have shouted oh why didnt he use Utaka? why did he play Kaita on the right of midfield? The lack of consistency is what hikes me the most about the whole situ.

Utter balderdash from you as usual.
The job of a coach also includes rejuvenating the team, bringing in fresh players with new ideas to replace the ageing team members. Amodu has had extensive experience in Nigeria's local league, yet even with that local know-how the fellow could not blend in any decent regulars from the local league. Instead the porky fellow preferred to allow the team stagnate, allowing our 'Golden Generation' to become the 'olden generation'. And this fellow had the opportunity of numerous friendlies and the Nations Cup to find new talent.
Our world cup qualification was fraught with poor football and an overreliance on pure luck to qualify. Only luck sustained us against Tunisia and Mozambique, and in most cases our goals came from rare flashes of individual brilliance by some players.
Yes, he qualified us to the world cup, but he mortgaged our future. It's just like Otto Rehhaggel won the Euros, but destroyed the future of the Greek team by refusing to change the same old players for many years. At a point you really have to make a hard decision for the best of the team. And we did that for Amodu.

The problem with Nigerian football is threefold : Coach, Players and NFF. Now we've solved the Coach part by hiring a decent coach, so we WILL see some improvement going forward. All we need now is new players, we're NEVER going to solve the NFF issue. Under Amodu, we would have had a mediocre coach (please re-read Odemwingie's comments about Amodu's coaching methods), bad players and a bad NFF. And that's just unacceptable.

Real Super Eagles fans like myself will support Largerback. People like you and Osaze will rather focus on rewarding a few individuals rather than the collective joy of millions of Nigerians. Luckily, you're in the minority.

1. There's really no conclusive evidence that the child has been sexually abused, but if it turns out that has happened,
2. The husband may be a rapist, but that doesn't mean that he's a pedophile.

I suggest the OP CONFIRM if the child has been abused first, then keep an open mind about who it may be if that turns out to be true.

bigbrovar:
Osaze just confirmed what I have always said about the Eagles, The problem is not coaching. At least if anything Nigerians Got the foreign Coach we wanted.  Did he perform any better? He took the same boys Amodu took to the nation's cup and even played the same 433 formation amodu used. All this goes to show one thing. Amodu was just a scape goat for the deeper decay which is Nigerian Football. we have not made any progress in 8 years we are now bottom of the barrel and lack the players to bring us back to the golden days.

Sure you watched the World cup? Largerback employed 4-4-2, not 4-3-3.
You're whining about the 'deeper rot' and 'lack of players'. Who was the coach in place for much of the last 8 years you're referring to?
Ask yourself why a coach Amodu with a wealth of experience in the local league would fail to bring in any decent talent from the local league to bolster the team. Scapegoat my butt!

Odemwingie criticises Lagerback




Nigeria's Peter Odemwingie has lashed out at coach Lars Lagerback after Nigeria could only draw 2-2 with South Korea, eliminating them from the tournament.
Osaze Odemwingie claims Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback made mistakes. (GettyImages)



Odemwingie criticised the coach's tactical instructions and claimed that Lagerback didn't give him enough playing time at the World Cup.

"Three games, three losses," Odemwingie told KickOffNigeria.com. "I think a few things he did were big mistakes, such as telling two strikers not to participate in defending.

"I think that is a big mistake with Nigerian football when we have one defensive midfielder and one creative in front of him. All our middle was open and that was the problem we had against Greece.

"Today the instruction was that three people did not have to participate in defence. I think that also was a big mistake."

Odemwingie was reported to have erupted in the dressing room after the Greece loss, and explained that he had good reason to.

"Yeah, I said to him that there are some key players in this team that he didn't give enough playing time. And I was one of them. I said to him we have been here for a few years and we have qualified this team for the World Cup and he was putting us aside and it's not fair.

"Some of us like myself and Martins are leaders in this team and we have been making the difference for the country and we needed to get more playing time and more chances to play."

Odemwingie added: "They should not have fired [Shaibu] Amodu. I think that was a mistake."




Pls there is some sence in what he is saying.

Osaze is basically calling for a PDP arrangement in the National team - where 'leaders' and 'oldies' get the most play time. In short, it's demanding for a return of the Eagles 'mafia' and you're saying there's sense in what he's saying?
Thank God Osaze has confirmed my thoughts on the matter: Lars Lagerback is not a malleable pawn like Amodu who will be bent to the wishes of his players. Now i am even more keen on Lars retaining his job.

kingrhirhs:
"Three games, three losses," Odemwingie told KickOffNigeria.com. "I think a few things he did were big mistakes, such as telling two strikers not to participate in defending.

Two losses and a draw, Mr. Osaze. So even a member of the team does not know the match results? What an unserious twit!

PS: @kingrhirhs
you really should know how to spell the word 'sense'.

FL Gators:
Ouch, damn! So much for respect. Ahaha, now these looters knows their worth. A common proceeding, dem get denied.

That request should never have been made, it was probably made for public posturing. if the trial proceedings are completely open to the public, what are they requesting for?
Abeg, let them save the money they are spending on this lawyer and use the dough to organize a reality show 'Nigeria's Next Soccer Striker' make we get person who fit score goal.

Yes, i'm still bitter over last night.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=466124.msg6263729#msg6263729 date=1277230965]i didn't say he was happy. I just said that the smiley face was out of place.
the existence of this topic by itself should tell you how most people would interpret such a smile.
in my interpretation of the pic, he looks embarrassed to be part of the team.


read other ppls posts too and stop picking on mine.[/quote]There were several other dumb posts on the subject, i admit, but i had to pick one. I chose yours.

I can only see a few people reacting to his smile the way you did, so i don't know where you got 'most' from. This is a still frame, you don't know if it was transiting into a wry smile, a grimace or even a rueful smile. Making a mountain out of this (and discussing his suitability for the SE job from this) has to be the most silly thing i've heard all day.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=466124.msg6263622#msg6263622 date=1277229935]the smile is very out of place. and looks very bad for the team

even if it was a forced smile, the fact that he could still force a smile means to me that he doesn't care about the team as he should.
keeping a straight face would have been more respectful.[/quote]At your age, you still imagine that smiling = happiness?

keep a straight face, right? So someone like you will come and accuse the man of being uncaring.

[quote author=Striker ! link=topic=466124.msg6263484#msg6263484 date=1277228048]But I don't understand how a white dude who knows little or nothing about our culture, traits and behaviours can coach a team of mostly players who started out as proper ghetto players !, can't see how he could relate to them to ginger or motivate them, not to talk of the other aspects of coaching !, they need one naija guy with strong eye make e dey slap their head when dey fu.c, k up ![/quote]Football is 11 men kicking a ball around the pitch. Wetin concern culture for this one?
If you want uniform culture, traits and behaviors in our team, then all the 11 members of our team have to come from one tribe.
To be honest, i find your comment to be rather brainless considering the fact that these same players have no issue being coached by white coaches in their respective clubs in Europe.

mens dept:
Yet there are those signing up to support Lagerback for another 5 years of "Come chop Money"

For once, we have a decent coach. That's something to celebrate. You were never going to see that money anyway so i'd rather we spend that dough on a good coach than pay a fraction to that incompetent Amodu.

amedhmd:
there is@ texazzpete

There is none. How many times do I have to tell you folk before you get it?

Paypaller:
Its funny how people dont read simple instructions or dont use their heads. I expect a serious person to send me a mail telling me what they want and how prepared they are and not dropping email addresses here. I have already found a good number of serious people who have taken innovative steps to reach me, establish a business relationship and we are moving on. They didnt drop their email addresses, they sent me mails telling me what they wanted and wanted to if and how i can help. Thanks for dropping your emails though. I just dont know what U want me to do with them as i have nothing to tell U and for christ sake what do i do with your BB Pin, what is that?

And it's amazing how YOU sound. You didn't provide any contact information apart from asking people to Google you up and add you on Facebook. Why would someone who takes his privacy serious want to do that?
Every single person who has replied you has the right idea. You're the one in the wrong, and you come across as an 'unserious' businessman.

ziddy:
see what abokis did with niger delta money lol.

Nice. Now show us what the niger deltans did with niger Delta money.

@Texazzpete, i'm patiently waitin for your help

You'll need to update to 3.1.3 firmware (just so itunes doesn't prompt you for any more updates in the future).
I'll see what i can do for you. Expect an answer tomorrow. I have a soft spot for corpers

You apparently also need an English tutor ASAP.

IBEXY:
I agree most of the problem was from bunkering but these big firms drilling oil owe it to the communities to clean up the spillages because of the massive profits they are making daily.

I wonder where the Nigerian govt. comes into all these. They've left it to the millitants to fight for the collective survival of the Niger Delta.

And this is where you guys get it completely wrong. The Nigerian Government gets at least 75% of the profits from the crude oil production. They are the main party making these 'massive profits' you speak of, not the IOCs.
Sadly, this isn't a well known fact.

Welcome development!!
in 5 years plus, all the local coaches with their wealth of experience in the Nigerian local league have failed woefully to upgrade the roster with fresh, young and hungry talent. our local coaches so far have been incompetent. Amodu was just the tip of the iceberg.

let's welcome a decent coach and give him some time to rebuild the Eagles. If we don't, we'll remain mired in mediocrity for ages to come. the likes of Etuhu and Odiah cannot be entrusted with the future of Nigerian football.

cvibe:
I hope the Nigerian leaders are learning from the BP example on how best oil companies operating in Nigeria should pay up for clean up in the ND.

Yes, they should clean up oil spills caused by defunct equipment, leaking pipes etc.
But is it right to compel IOCs to pay for spills caused by sabotage, bunkerers and oil pipeline vandalisation?
And if they shouldn't, who then should?
Those are the questions that need to be answered.

SapeleGuy:
Don't pretend that JTF are protecting the interests of Niger Deltans. We all know different.
Anyway, if JTF is a good thing then may they reign over your people for at least 1000 years.


First of all, environmental damage from oil exploration predates MEND. Ogoni youths bunkering The sad truth is that FG officials are the ones bunkering.

Lets assume we go with your outlandish position, how does sharing the blame clean up the environmental damage?

My position is not 'outlandish'. Do you really know the meaning of that word? And if you believe FG officials are the ones carrying out the bunkering, then you're woefully misinformed. Or you're just being economical with the truth. At least thank God we all have seen the proof that the likes of Ateke Tom (affiliates of MEND) were running oil bunkering and refining operations.

SapeleGuy:
First of all, environmental damage from oil exploration predates MEND.

When we're talking about environmental damage, the most important thing is the magnitude, not which factor predated the other one. And in recent years, the most damage has been due to sabotage, pipe vandalisation and oil bunkering.
Tell me, when a pipeline filled with oil is cut and stolen, what do you think comes out of the severed pipe? Coconut oil? When MEND blows up a producing oil pipeline in the creeks, what comes out?
The original article talks about oil spurting out of old wellheads. that's almost impossible without external interference from bunkerers.

SapeleGuy:
Lets assume we go with your outlandish position, how does sharing the blame clean up the environmental damage?

And how does indicting the JTF clean up the environmental damage?
As long as the erroneous belief that the oil spills are all the fault of the oil companies is perpetuated, greedy youths will continue to vandalise, harvest, sabotage and bunker, spilling thousands of barrels of oil into the creeks unabated. Instead of pushing only for condemnation for the IOCs, you can also do enough to sensitize your youths on the damage their criminal activities are causing to their own environment.

Damage has been done. Damage will still continue to be done unless you face up to the hard facts.

Silly people talking about paedophilia being a 'Western' thing. Paedophilia is legalised in the North, isn't it?
Let them deal with Yerima to serve as a deterrent for others.

Kobojunkie you are definitely a FOOL. A big fool!

Beaf and others who pointed out the errors of her ways, do not waste your time.

I am tired that my region is continuing to be plundered while our environment is being degraded. I support MEND and any other group that will battle the FG. It doesn't matter if you are from Ondo State to Abia State. Our land is being destroyed by these cockroaches!

Of course some of the posters whose land is being polluted will be passionate. Screw any Nigerian not from the Niger Delta. You cannot relate to us.

And when I say Niger Deltan, I am talking about Yorubas from Ondo State, people of Edo, Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Rivers etc. You know who you are.

Except that the likes of MEND are a major reason why the Niger Delta is this polluted today. Illegal bunkering and pipeline vandalisation from groups affiliated to and protected by MEND have spilled millions of gallons of crude in the creeks and waters of the Niger Delta. Incessant bunkering by Ogoni youths have caused massive spills and wellhead leaks in the past couple of years.
Unless the environment and the fish can distinguish between the oil from the Oil companies' decaying equipment and the oil spills from these 'freedom fighters', the blame must be shared!

There's a phone number in this ad. Did no one think of calling this fellow to set him up?
I'm beginning to see Onwan's point and perhaps I owe him an apology. The alleged victims themselves are not acting like people who lost any money at all.
If I was in their shoes, his nuts would be hanging on my wall as I type this.

Onwan:
Its a very big shame.

Most of the posts and new threads with funny accusations is beginning to look like they have some kind of angles to them. Check this new thread for instance: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-464665.0.html

It looks more like the poster is simply trying to discredit nairaland or make it loose credibility and then advertise the website he carefully displayed in his signature line: http://www.naijacardeals.com/

What has this got to do with this case? Stop trying to muddy up the waters.

Onwan:
@Volvoman
Please do not insult me. Whatever I tried doing initially was basically out of thinking the "fraud" was real and that the people involved are real, later I found out from what I was reading online that its all just a bunch of user IDs, no real names, pictures , phone numbers - even of the "victims". I pay for internet access, not to waste my time or be insulted BUT for value.

When stories are not straight and it appears I cant put a handle on even the "victims", I think its simply best to walk away.

It doesnt have to take all of nairaland to tell someone who claims he lost millions to report to the appropriate authorities, also it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that for any commitment above 100k, there has to be some sort of agreement and at least a flow of reference NOT FROM WHAT YOU SEE OR READ ONLINE but from your own evaluation of the individual on or after a meet.

IF I see anyone scammed by PT Consult and the person is forthcoming, then there are channels like the Police and EFCC that should be able to advise on ways.
So, Volvoman, I dont know you or your sex or where you are BUT its very important I warn you not to insult me again. Whatever detail was used to contact the PT Consult person was provided by other people on nairaland - NOT EVEN BY THE "VICTIMS". Im a real person, and not an ID, so please do not insult me.

PTConsult has been linked repeatedly to other scams going on in Nairaland, and enough accusations have been made here. Why do you need the victims to post their real names, phone numbers and more 'evidence' before you understand?
I don't believe you're in cahoots with the scammer - that's absurd - but you're burying your head in the sand. And I cannot also understand why the alleged victims spent valuable time pandering to your demands for evidence here instead of heading to the Police or EFCC.
