Put "very" before that word "popular".

Almost everybody in Umudike, Ndioru, Amabo et al knew him from day one because of his talent. From ibeku high school to Govicollag(FGC) and other sec schools in umuahia, I dont think there is any ex student who never saw him play during sec school competitions and inter-house sports, thats why no sane person can come out to doubt his age. We sabi the boy well well.

wao, that's interesting

ChristoBam:
His agent has not disrespected Man Utd so far though. And why don't you guys get the situation of things during Ferguson's time and present time are so different.. But the fact is if we build that kind of team you're talking about, Pogba will definitely want to stay..

You said if we build a team like that of Ferguson era , Pogba will definitely want to stay.
I'll tell you categorically that you are wrong. If people like Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo left, despite Man utd even doing well than Real Madrid at that period, who says Pogba won't leave, even if we are winning the league back to back.

What man utd should do is continue to do what they do best in the time past, which is moving on and do well with or without the so called "big players" like we've done in the past.

terzurum5:
The way Chikwueze controls the ball even in the most difficult positions and situations, only Victor Moses does that among the Super Eagles players.

At one point his great sense of control caught the attention of the Camera man.

He was a delight to watch and a thorn in the flesh to he defense of the S/Africans.

I want him to do one more season with Villarreal before leaving to work with "jurgen klopp"

I swear, that guy's ball control is crazy. No matter how wayward or useless the long pass is, he always finds a way to control it one time

IamCharles123:
Funny enough, this thing happens in Nigeria water regularly.
Na now them dey wake up. Something way foreign companies don use chop Nigeria Taya.

It's seems the Navy are just waking up to their Job, or someone wasn't settled, hence they got arrested.

Goke7:
It's unethical to speak ill about the dead. This is wrong. The man is a national hero whether you like it or not. Let rohr even equal his record first before we compare

Speaking ill of the dead bawo?

The thing that people have been saying even before he died sef.

So his death automatically made him a saint or what?

Starboytwo:
any tactical sound coach like South African coach hak hak hak, I haven't read so much crap today....south Africa coach tactical sound, abeg swerve..and can you ease up on the bashing please...this same poor iwobi scored the winning goal against the defending champion...im sure semid4life is eyeing you somehow somehow...

You know, some people are crazy like that,
SA that couldn't even beat Namibia without penalty , the coach is now tactically sound all of a sudden.

Marjoribanks:
So South African coach is now tactically sound loll.
A team that didn't score a single goal from open play throughout the group stages.
These carpenter analyst self.

A lot of people no like Rohr, they just want to see him fail. That's long and short of the story

peterd53:
That Keshi do us strong thing oo
In keshi voice. iheanacho is too young............martins is too old.......Uche is indiscipline.

He deny us the opportunity to see Osaze wen he was blazing hot in d epl. He took Mohamed gamboling to d confederation cup as our top striker and made us to believe that agbim is the best keeper in d country

no mind them na

I just dey take corner eye to look at people saying keshi is better because he won Afcon.

Lemme give them another fact.

Do they even know that if Keshi was our coach,we won't even know the likes of Iwobi, Chukwueze, Aina , even their darling Osimhen and Onyekuru.

That is because keshi won't invite them, giving us different mumu excuse. Chukwueze that just played his first professional football won't even get into the provisional list sef, giving us reason that the guy does not have senior team football experience , or he's too young for African football, Chukwueze might have ended up with the U20.

he will only invite his goons from Kano pillar and co.

charlesemeka85:
oga it is evident that rohr's team displays better possession football and artistry than that of keshi. if keshi was as good as he made you guys believe why couldn't he sustain the team's success and build on from there just in the space of 1yr?

rohr's team is work in progress which is evident in the teams progression so far. all we lack is top players who can perfect it most especially in the midfield and attack. if keshi was still in charge i will bet my life that youngstars like oshimeh,chukwueze,kalu,aina,ebuehi,iwobi etc wouldn't have debuted for the team let alone making his afcon team with the excuse that they are still rookies and inexperienced in international football.

how em go give them chance when they are alot of bricklayers and carpenters in kano pillars,gombe united and co?

No mind them na.

Keshi would probably be saying Iwobi is too young or not strong enough, or Ebuehi no get international experience. Nonsense

All these guys that are just making light of the efforts of the super Eagles, saying that SA is this, SA is that, as if SA is a Brazil that we don't know about.

If Egypt had taken their chances, I'm sure you won't be saying all this about SA.

If SA is that fantastic, why were they struggling in the group stage and they had to wait till the last day to qualify. for the next stage.

Like what is wrong with you people gan gan. what do you guys want?

Before the Cameroon game , people were saying, it is our first real test, we beat them, now you are saying SA is our first real test. The same SA that could have been down by 2 or 3 goals against Egypt, no thanks to the wasteful Trezeguet.

It seems a lot of people want to see the team fail, just because of Onyekuru and Osimhen issue with the coach

femi4:
you ll even do more than that......every lady stands for her man when the love is real

Nobody is disputing their love. But in her line of work, it's dangerous for her business and that of her husband. Someone needs to talk sense into her though

Once Nigerians reason their matter ehn, that's all o

tbaba1234:
Did we struggle against Guinea? They did not create any chances in 90 mins.
I felt we controlled that game but lacked bite upfront.

No thanks to Mr Ighalo NEPA, on and off.
we should have beaten them by at least 2 goals to be fair

elyte89:
Same way leceister won d league...dey re pretenders, dey re pretenders, na so PPu dey talk ,dey will go back to deir normal position 15th/16th,na so dem talk,till e clear for deir eye one month to d title decider

Not in a Cup game. Croatia almost did it, in the world cup, but they got put in their place by a better side in France. League is different, moreover, the Leicester your are comparing them with was convincing , and they won with convincing results, not penalties like Croatia in the world cup, and Benin and Madagascar in this Afcon. The bigger boys won't take them for granted.

You think Algeria that spanked Guinea today was a coincidence? They have already seen that any complacency against the small sides can spell doom, so they attacked from the beginning to the final blast of the whistle.

Morroco got knocked out due to complacency, and not because Benin was fantastic,moreover , they could have won in regulation time if they had took their chance and converted that penalty.

Madagascar and Congo was an evenly matched game, it could have gone both ways. No upset in this regard , as Congo themselves have not been fantastic

Bunique:
I think they do o. they play good football and are clinical.

Pipe down on the Madagascar hype. One if Tunisia or Ghana will definitely put them in their place.

they have already over acheived by getting into the quarter finals. They will definitely be put in their place.

It's not as if the Congo that they beat via penalty shoot out have been fantastic in this tournament. Congo qualified as a 3rd placed team , so Madagascar realistically had a chance against them.

Anyone of Ghana or Tunisia will spank them in the quarter finals

darkelf:
And Madagascar gets to the round if 8 against all odds

No sensible team would underrate them at this stage

No team in the world will underate any team in the knock out stage of a competition, no matter their position on the FIFA ranking.

tbaba1234:
Nantes are interested in buying Awaziem permanently but there is also interest in Turkey. Hopefully, he overlooks money and does the right thing.

I hope so too. We need our players in good leagues as good as possible, so as to help their development

andrew444:
You can't take it away from ighalo

Of course na , the NEPA part was a joke na

andrew444:
So you expect pep to keep on playing a 32 year old navas when he arrived abi ?

Navas was not even regular in pellegrini last season and you want pep to keep on playing him

Moses is not a better winger than Pedro or Willian so wing back or no wing back those ones go start ahead of am

But we have never lost with Simon playing in the 4-3-3 so there is nothing to be worried of

So why did u bring up their names

Your response already confirmed that , a winger is more useful as an offensive orchestrator, rather than for his defensive abilities, let the wingers leave defending to the defenders

andrew444:
Now you are talking

Chuks did well but not as most people have hyped it

His contributions were majorly an indirect one, not a direct contributions like goals or assist.
Indirect in the sense that he opened up space for others to do the damage

Even though I felt He could have had an assist yesterday but, Ighalo na NEPA , always on and off with goal scoring chances

andrew444:
Chuks didn't do bad but you guys should cool down as I also watch the game

Almost all of you are trying to paint Moses Simon bad or turn blind to ighalo performance

Moses Simon will start next game and chuks will continue as super sub

I as a person acknowledge the contributions of Simon and Ighalo in the game. But some people just came out of nowhere to start saying Chukwueze had no impact in the game, that our scoring and winning was just a coincidence , that happened when he came in. We just wanted the notion.

andrew444:
Jesus navas says hello

All wingers and their style of play okay

Victor moses made conte team because he can defend

If you are a winger you cannot score much and assist much then you should learn how to defend unless you have no purpose in the team

And where is Jesus navas in Man City and Moses in Chelsea after a coach that doesn't need a wing back but a proper winger came into the picture in those teams, they became relegated to the bench.

I'm not saying Simon defensive ability is not needed in the team, but whenever we are not playing a formation that requires the service of a wingback, it will be counter productive to start him, cos the guy has lost his offensive prowess the we used to know in for, during the world cup qualifiers when Victor Moses and Simon Moses were on the wings wrecking havock.

Then his final balls and crosses were exquisite, but now, the guy is a completely different person

andrew444:
The guy no lie ,not that chuks did badly ,abi no be the same match wey I watch ?

Most people here don't want to give credit to ighalo ,person score 2 goals na the one wey no score anything dem dey praise

Smh

This is what happened when Chukwueze came in

Georges Makanjes was on a yellow card. When Chukwueze was introduced, it caused real concern on Seedorf's face. Watch the clip again and see how he went to talk to Kluivert about it on the bench. As a result of that substitution, see what happened:
a) Makanjes was substituted because Seedorf knew the chances of him being turned by Chukwueze was high. Makanjes would have had to tackle and he most likely would have been sent off. He was subbed for Aguissi who was a less effective marker.
b) Knowing that Aguissi was going to have problems marking a quicker, faster and more masterful dribbler in Chukwueze, an extra player was drafted to help Aguissi mark Chukwueze, unlike having just one defender in Makanjes who clearly marked off Moses Simon. Deploying an extra defender meant a distortion of the original defensive formation of Cameroon and this is what opened the spaces for Musa, Iwobi and Ighalo to start incursions from the middle. Led to our 3rd goal.
Seedorf showed clearly that he is still an apprentice coach. Gernot Rohr outsmarted him tactically.

So yes, chuks was definitely the game changer. Before his introduction, we had little or no space for ighalo, Iwobi and Musa to operate

Look at our equalising goal. The two guys were definitely on to Chukwueze, they were expecting Awaziem to pass to him so that he can do his trademark dribbles, unfortunately, they left an acre of space for Awaziem to patiently doing a beautiful cross into the box for Musa and Ighalo which led to our 2nd goal.

I copied this response from a thread when the author of this post below responded to someone who said Chukwueze had no impact in the game, that it was just a coincidence that we scored after coming in.
The post goes thus;

"Coincidence? You know nothing about football.

what do you mean by the bolded?

For instance can we say the same for chukwueze whose defensive contribution is poor? I mean if Simon attacked less and defended more, yet it is a poor game, chukwueze also attacked more nd defended poorly, why is it great Which Kain logic be that...

Both had their purpose their strong points, it was very evident in the match that chukwueze was needed, there's not much need for the defensive duties of Simon that awaziem cannot handle on his own...

As a winger , nobody will question your defending deficiency but question your attacking prowess, whether it is good enough or not. That is the point of complain concerning Simon. He offers very little offensively, which is his primary duty.

No club in the world will sign a winger because he can defend, but primarily because if his offensive prowess and how good he can wreck havock to the opponents defense.

Like the guy earlier said, if we are not playing a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, he shouldn't be starting, cos his club has taken away the attacking instinct of Simon we used to know. He plays more or less like a full back now

BascoVanVeli:
It was 100% Aina's fault. He slept off everybody in the stadium knew that the striker was going to win that ball but Ola failed to anticipate that and allowed his man to enter inside. Even the supersports crew said he was to blame.

Omeruo didn't miss the ball the striker was in front of him only a foul would have stopped him from heading that ball but who would expect Aina to sleep off?

The header could have gone anywhere.
He didn't sleep, it was a 50-50 thing . If you play football , you'll understand

darkelf:
Aina would have done better if he was physically as strong as Njie. That's the truth although if Omeruo had some the earlier Ariel battle, it wouldn't have come to that.

At that point , physicality is useless. The attacker was in his front, their is little he can do , except you are suggesting he foul the guy from behind, that would be worse, cos it's a red card and a penalty, which we wouldn't be able to fight back any longer

The last hope at that point would be your goalkeeper to save you or at least the attacker shouldn't finish the ball well

BascoVanVeli:
It would have been suicidal to close in on Basagog. Maybe Awaziem should have done better in not allowing the cross but this is football and stuff happens. As per weakest link if I am forced to give it it would go to Ola Aina. That second was too poor on his part and he switched off other times in the game when Omeruo had to save him.

The second goal wasn't Aina's fault. The moment omeruo missed the ball that went to Njie, there is nothing he could do as the attacker was already in his front with the advantage. Infact he was lucky that the guy scored cos he foul the guy but thank God he didn't fall down but went to score. If not, that would have been a penalty and a red card, because he's the Last man. That would be double jeopardy, meaning that we would have lost the game since first half

compton11:
OK why didn't they allowed the small children to wear hijab in secular government school?

Because they are secular.

There are Christian Govt schools and their are Muslim govt schools, established by the various missionaries.

The Muslim govt schools allow Hijab, while the Christian Govt schools does not.


And there are secular govt schools, established solely by the govt from inception, those ones are neutral and doesn't allow wearing of religious attires , except for some of them that allows u to wear whatever you like, with no restrictions.

There are a lot to chose from , that will accommodate you.

But some people still choose to go to go to the few ones that are Religion neutral and force themselves on them, and causing religious trouble in the process. It's very wrong

Lefty500:
Exactly, I remember when Android was still in kitkat version, people were rooting their phones, just to add themes, network speed and fonts majorly, but when Android added these features traditionally, rooting of android phone has reduced. Then, I couldn't use an android phone without rooting, it was just too boring, same way I can't go back to using the original WhatsApp.

God bless you my brother.

Rooting of Android phones is a perfect example.

Now most Android phones now come with features that you would have needed root access to aquire before.

people now change fonts , tweak their phone, add teams and almost all now come with OTA updates, so you don't need to root your phone any longer.

The practice of rooting Android phones died a slow and natural death.

WhatsApp can take a cue from that, not banning up and down, cos it won't work. Let them add those exciting features that makes those third party apps be in business, and those apps will die a natural death.

compton11:
the school was established by Islamic missionaries same as Baptist primary where they sing Christian songs,my own school was established by government not by religious body,so what the Bleep are u talking about?

I'm not disputing it.

I'm just trying to point out that the issue is a balanced one.

The way Muslims do in a Muslim school, is the way Christians do in a Christian School, whether they are Public or private .

The neutral ones like ISI try to be neutral by not allowing any form of religious activities or allowing a religious insignia, that is what you guys should try to understand that and not take everything as being an attack on your religion.

If you feel compelled to express your religion in an academic settings, their or a lot of other schools that will condone it.

compton11:
see hypocrite, when I was in government primary,we used to sing Christian songs from Monday to Thursday, we didn't complain and small children Wear hijab u are crying

My sister attended a Muslim govt school, Ansar u Deen Practicing school. They sing all this Muslim songs and prayers on the assembly every morning. That doesn't make her less of a Christian. So what are u telling me.

after the united states and huawei battles for data privacy issues.

WhatsApp have spend millions of dollars to developed Latest update to effect a ban on it unofficial app.

it seems that the end has finally comes for unofficial WhatsApp. despite the anti ban features from those unofficial WhatsApp and still WhatsApp is able to effect ban

And the developers of those apps are sleeping ba?

Banning people is not the solution, but taking away the incentives that make people go for those third party apps. People love to add themes, tweak their apps to their taste and so on. If Whatsapp can add even half of those features on their official app, people won't use the third party apps again.

So banning is just a temporary fix. The developers will always update their app again to bypass those banning. IT is such a crazy world. If they have your time, their is nothing you can do to stop it.
