Was he part of 2015 team that failed to qualify? Why didn't you agree you just realized he was not part of that team for the first time after many years of believing he was ?
Prior to the Egyptian game, we already played two matches but the result wasn't good hence we were desperate to beat Egypt in the first leg. Despite this, Moses sat on the bench until 72 minutes.
How can I say he was part of the team?
Forgiveness, this was you accusing Keshi of being part of the failure for our inability to qualify for 2017 AFCON, even though he was coach for only one match - which he won.
komekn: Latvia league is a very poor standard league to use as a launch pad to EXPLODE as you put it.
Any player looking to move will have to be outstanding in the league and the very best in that league to get a move to top 6 league.
Football academies in Nigeria are just as bad as the agents they even practice TPI. And once you are signed to them you literally signed away your life they own you.
Well I don't know about you, since you didn't grow up in Nigeria, but many of us can tell whether a Nigerian is still a teenager by mere physical appearance and be right most of the time. Just like I am sure you don't always need an "automatic birth capture" document to tell in a general sense, the age of people you interact with with a high degree of accuracy
sheyishemba: Ya cracking me up big time the same Cameroon almost beat up in AFCON they were leading before the comeback Ivory coast has name but to build a team is damn easy all they need is good coach and watch them wallop us Algeria dominated that match and deserve the win It is really dishearten as good as our player be who know even get person wey sabi take set piece even Madagascar dey score Free kick
Results of the last 4 Nigeria vs Cameroon fixtures
komekn: One big and humongous difference between Nigerian origin players in Europe they do not need the SE to further their careers.
As a consequence they are not desperate to sign up with preferred agents of NFF officials and do not understand the language of pecuniary appreciation for selection.
That's what you don't want to accept.
This suggests players like Aluko, V.Moses and Iwobi signed up with NFF preferred agents and gave some pecuniary appreciation to the NFF for selection. Ejaria may also start doing the same in the coming months and Abrahams would have gone the same way, if England did not come calling? Is this what you are suggesting?
kellycute: they refuse to acknowledge the video because they prefer to dine and wine on the table with their master komekn. "nacho always pass the ball backward and sideward when in front of a defender". Smh.
okay man, you have and will always be free to make any conclusions about "they"
TheSuperNerd: Lol. Look man. Feel free to fan whomever and whoever. Afterall, every moniker or guest here had a certain moniker that really got them interested in the thread. So feel free... Don't even think I am gonna give you knocks for that. It's fine really. Lol
But... Uhmmm... It also means you might need that "release".
Gotcha.
I actually need a release from his spell, so I stop licking his a** too
TheSuperNerd: Lol... How do you know I am not even saying you are a fan of mine?
See? Hahahaha
you got a point. but seeing that you asked if I was among those who supported him earlier, I thought my secret admiration for him was becoming too obvious
kellycute: the people under komekn spell are those who still support his lie after been debunked by fact. They have eyes but they can't see. An erroneous statement posted by komekn was debunked by video evidence and yet this set of people are still mastubating on his lie like their life depended on it. Like I said, they should emancipate themselve from komekn lie and see the light.
masturbating on his lie or their own lie?
Them: I refuse to acknowledge the video posted You: They don't have a mind of their own. This must be about komekn
TheSuperNerd: You modified your comment late. And I already have responded.
And I speak in defence of those you say are bewitched. I believe you really have it upside down. The real ones bewitched are those who say "Yes Sir", "Yes Sir" to every post Komekn makes which normally would contain some half truths and then some absolutely ridiculous claims. Those are the ones really under his spell. Cheers.
The people under Komekn's spells are those who validate the absolutely false and rubbish talk of "Iheanacho would always pass backwards or sideways when in front of a defender" or that Gabby J will score loads for Leicester when Vardy is around.
I just used a video clip to debunk the nonsense about Nacho never beating a man.
So those who support such ignorance are the people in need of serious help. Or is it also possible you are among them?
This is what I am reading here
X: I believe Nacho is a very poor player, nacho is sh*t, nacho is bad..... Y: You are under Komekn's spell
btw, just in case you thought this was about you....I have never seen you call anyone here an a**licker of komekn
If that is also your view as suggested by this post, ride on ...
It appears komekn visits a few people here in their dreams . Calling anyone who shares a similar viewpoint with him an a** licker suggests that you think he has a special kind of a** that needs to be licked in the first place and herein lies the problem.
Throwing his name around for clout doesn't validate your view. It comes across like you are either irritated that he is here and can do nothing about it or you have an unhealthy obsession with him.
You people should learn to address him directly like TheSuperNerd does.
@komekn i beg you, please release these people from your bewitchment
lol @komekn, like a world leader we all know is becoming the master of "Illusory Truth Effect": believing that making a false claim over and over again will make that claim true
komekn: Vardy earned his game time by performing consistently and continously.
KC simple after three seasons of impotency last season 30 games and 1 goal. He has done nothing to justify more game time.
And now he is getting games and he has done a lot better than last season. But his so called improvement is simply not good enough.
You think that is biased, plane facts have become bias.
Benteke moved to Crystal Palace for £27 million. Liverpool sold him knowing he was off the boil.
After all his pedigree Benteke is essentially dead Crystal Palace keep playing him because they can't afford to bench him. He also is impotent and dead.
No matter the minutes or games Benteke plays he will not be prolific and the same goes for KC.

There is far more to offensive play from a striker than goals. Watch the clip below and look at the split decisions, the dropping deep to build play, covering multiple offensive positions and how Kanu brought the other offensive players into the game. Finally, watch his gifted techniques on the ball.
Joebie: He no talk say he go ignore too? He has met my other side.
Joebie, you don't need this. You fall my hand big time. No one can determine for you what or whom you love, so why bother derailing the thread cause of the writings/claims of someone you have never met or had an interaction with beyond the pages of this thread?
Your contributions to the thread have been top notch and some of us are looking forward to you reviving your weekly review of Nigerian players. Please let it end here
Kelvin30286063: It's a good development. It happens in advance countries so why should we be different. If a police officer stops you either on the road or the walkway (in US and Co) the first thing they ask is 'can I see your ID please?' They expect that you must carry an ID which will serve as your first way to defend yourself against mistaken identity and the only way to confirm that you're actually who you said you are.
komekn: Who would not be confused with the confusion coming from the NFF two years plus and still waiting for a call up after training with the first team.
Is that not CONFUSED CONFUSION from the NFF.
It seems you are always set on blaming the NFF irrespective of whatever is done. I bet if Tammy himself had not openly declared that the NFF rolled out the red carpet for him, you would have claimed that no approach was made or worse still that a bribe was demanded.
What you never do is to admit the player's responsibility in determining who they want to represent. Why is it a problem to admit that the temptation to play for England is hard to resist? Will many of the home bred players not embrace the opportunity to jump boat if they could just like we see in other sports (track and field in particular)? Haven't you also stated this yourself? But no, the NFF has to be dragged into it.
The biggest gesture was made to Eze over two years ago when he was a nobody, by extending an invitation to him to train with the national team. You were unequivocal in stating your displeasure about this gesture. The player is apparently considering other options now that he is on the ascendancy and yet it is the NFF's fault? So you wanted him to have been cap tied when his prospects for regular international invitation was low so you can come here to regale us with how the NFF used and dumped him because he didn't offer bribes.
Confusion my foot. Why was Tammy not confused by the almost 2 years gap between invitations to the 3 Lions?
Self appointed clan defenders. When you are done with denigrating the achievements of your illusory enemies, maybe you will still have some energy left to actually do something that will meaningfully impact the lives of your clan members so they can recognize your efforts
OMANBALA1: Abedi Pele won the AFOY in 1993 not Yekini.
Oga , Yekini won the inaugural CAF African Footballer of the Year in 1993. What Abedi Pele won was the France Football awards. If you don't recognize the CAF awards, how come you stated earler that Amunike was once an APOTY winner. At least be consistent.
Icon4s: Oga, let's stop all these tribal accusations.
I don't think you guys know the weight of responsibility on these coaches. Why would they want to chose their tribes men as players at the expense of their jobs? Think about that.
Even though some of us expect a kind of balance in the ethnic composition of our national teams, sometimes they are balanced and at other times they are not.
Yes, a coach might chose a couple of players based on certain sentiments which could be ethnic, religious, political, economic etc. But be rest assured that the majority of players especially the key men in the team will be selected based on merit.
For those accusing Manu of ethnic or religious biase look at his 2013 team. Is it not the team that produced likes of Iheanacho, Nwakali, Mathew, Ndidi, Ezeh, Nwobodo, Obasi, Uzoho, Okon, Just from off my head.
How can we come in 2019 and accuse same man of ethnic or regional biase?
And even for those accusing Amuneke of same in 2015, things like this happen where most of the best players that emerge will just spring up from a certain region which was the case in 2015 and now in 2019.
Do you know there was no Yoruba player in Fani Amun's 1993 Golden Eaglets team?
Do you also know there were not more than one or two Igbos in Yemi Tela's 2007 Golden Eaglets?
But sometimes too, we have a mix of ethnicities like the John Obu's era of U17 and U20s.
Things like these happen. It switches sides and then balances again. But the most important thing is that they are all representing Nigeria and we have to support every of our teams irrespective of the ethnic composition.
forgiveness: Religion is when you think you can turn your cheek after receiving a dirty hot slap. That's self righteousness based on the law. I don't practice that.
It's a simple thing. He that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. He was glad at a player's downfall.
The difference between religion and Christianity is that religion is about man relying on his efforts to fulfill God's word but Christianity is about relying on God's word to fully his words.
You may be right but you are totally ignorant about TRUE Christianity.
True, I am ignorant about Christianity because I am not one. "Christian" was a term used by unbelievers to mock the followers of the Christ. The followers of Christ didn't address themselves in such terms. So I will give you that one
(Before you bring it up, Peter was the only apostle who used it in the context of disciples not being ashamed if they suffered for being seen as "Christians"
chrisooblog: Sorry my Standard is the Bible and not the opinions of apostle forgiveness continue to be stubborn it's between you and your God
Chris, no need for argument, you will just be going round in circles. remember, By their fruits you shall know them
You shouldn't be surprised to see people wish bad on others, declare or act on it and use scriptures to defend their point of view and I have seen that happen not only with forgiveness on this thread. They will not quote the portions where they are commended to turn the other cheek when they are slapped but quickly justify the use of words that are far from what you will regard as "seasoned with grace". It is called religion.
The same ideology inspires suicide bombers, crusaders, Jihadists, cults and other extremists who have used sacred texts to justify heinous acts and cuts across all religions(Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism etc). What's more, the arrogance with which they dismiss any contrary interpretation as thoughts from an ignorant person betrays their underlying delusion that they are the mouthpiece of God!
Icon4s: The team has done the most important thing by qualifying. Recall Amuneke's 2005 U17 finished 4th at the CAF U17, losing 3-1 to Guinea in that 3rd place game. Yet they went ahead to win at the World stage. I so much believe in these 2019 Eaglets.
Wow! Have we beaten Guinea in any male competition in recent times (U17, U21, CHAN, Super Eagles etc)? I can't recall any result that has gone in our favor. Looks like they might be our bogey team
forgiveness: Besides, there was never a time I called anyone who regards KC as a quality player tribalist. It's other way round. Spare me the false accusations.
I may be wrong, but the bolded part of the below quote supports that sentiment
forgiveness: Are all those people that adjourned Iheanachonaldo world worst XI striker of last season, world worst striker of the world cup and worst XI EPL striker of last season, tribal bigots too? Smh
The reason you and your cohorts can't accept the facts stirring at at your faces is because your are from the same place Iheanacho comes from. Yes! Because I perceive most are Igbos. Yes! Nothing more, nothing less.
What can be more tribal bigot than this?
Unfortunate, the world doesn't revolves around tribal sentiments reasoning. It is way beyond that and their verdicts have been given. These alone has vindicated my postulations.
Afterall, no bi me the so called Yoruba gave the verdicts. Deal with it man. Kiss the truth.
BTW, calling a fellow human being an animal because you disagree with them isn't something to be proud of neither is eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (You know my reference for that).
Again, it will be of good benefit to your well being to disabuse your mind from imagining that your fellow forumites are the basest of humans because they disagree with you. And don't use the excuse that they are doing the same as justification for your actions (Again, you know my reference for that).
forgiveness: What makes a man differ from an animal is his conscience. Man has conscience but animal doesn't have.
With this, they can decipher btw good and bad but if they can't decipher btw right and wrong then they are animal.
forgiveness: Do I have any problem debating? Not at all.
But when you see his debate, what do you think?
I think he has baited you by using the same approach you take to question Kelechi's performances in the EPL. He borrowed multiple pages from your book and I am therefore surprised at your insinuation that this is an attempt to bring down Kayode while your comments on KC shouldnt be seen as such!
I will suggest you compare his comments with the ones you have made in the past to present Kelechi as a less than average player and no longer worthy of invitation to the national team. Also consider that you tend to suggest that KC isn't good enough if he doesnt get game time or fails to deliver on goals. However, if someone brings up Kayode's performance from last season, you come up with reasons that range from his teammates selfishness to him having to compete with players KC could never dare to polish their boots (I know this is an hyperbole...but you get the gist).
*What I am asking you to do will only make sense when you have the time, are in a good mood and not hell bent on finding reasons why you are right and every other person who regards KC as a quality player is a tribalist*
forgiveness: Now, the bias once will not see this but if I begin show that facts about Kelechi Iheanacho, they will be crying and calling me hater, tribalist etc.
If any mofo comes here and start shouting blue murder here, I go remind am dis post and ask why he no tell Chriskels the reason he is trying to bring down other to promote his? If I hear....mtchewwww
You are surely not suggesting that Chriskels is trying to pull down Kayode with the comments he has been making? Think well before you answer this question oh...you should know where I am going with this!
