Can't you imagine captain Akpors! Just when I feel keshi was stupid playing him in critical matches during nations cup. He's not even good anymore. |

Naija pipo always leave the fact; Yobo is a captain. The coach dont run this team alone. Nothing stops the coach from calling his captain and discuss such issues of excluding him in the team. Let's not forget how Keshi behaved during his playing days ! Naija i hail thee ! |

Yobo, you've been fantastic for Naija, always ready to answer the call to play. 3 gbosas for you. after all said & done, it's best to leave when the ovation is loudest. if i were you, i would have annouced my retirement, rather than coming across as a bitter captain. ![]() |

Jay jay, kanu and co all retired honourably from SE so why can't dis yobo of a man undstnd dat his time has passed nd shld respect it himself. By the way, must Keshi pet him like a sucking baby or make him realise he shld retire as a hero. Does he not have his senses wit him? Abeg dis yobo talk is becoming anoying and if he's disgraced out dat will serve him right. He need to take his drugs |

This is the reason why Kanu remains a Nigerian hero and model in football. He was always committed to the Nigerian cause and was very respectful of authorities, even when he was not fit to play. I can't understand the arrogance of these players. I agree that NFF is always a big let down for these players and Nigerian football in general, hence their need to speak out, but they just don't know how to package their concerns. Yobo has been a faithful member of the eagles and should be recognised as such but he shouldn't allow moments of emotional rush to make him lose all that he has done for the Eagles. |

Kulas: Lets all be sincere in making comments. For me,Keshi is very wrong.Truly many Nigerians including me have seen that Yobo is depreciating going by his poor performance in the last AFCON and young players like Kenneth Omeruo and others performed far more than him and are no doubts a good replacement for Yobo.I agreed.Again,i see it that Keshi is finding it difficult to tell Yobo openly to go and rest,ie that he is no longer needed in the SE.He would have summon courage as a man and told him in a respectful way that he is no longer needed as he has found competence replacement for him which i believe most Nigerians will support him(Keshi) because we all see that Omeruo and co are far better than Yobo.If keshi had done it in this mature way,it would have given much respect to Yobo considering his position as Captain of the team.Like i said,i support that Yobo retire from SE,but let it be done with respect and not in a disgraceful way.[b] and what happens to yobo's common sense? ok, he wants the coach to spell it out for him that he is now useless and shld retire from the national team right? wasn't he a part time player at the nations cup? he is a big fool for taking side with keshi when osaze voiced out and now its his turn and now understood properly what osaze was talking about abi? no wonder he was described as a coward captain who have watched things go wrong for decades and all of a sudden osaze now thought him how to be bold enough to speak out and not to be a perpetual sycophant just to be called a good and loyal captain- nw edon back fire. u told osaze that we cant continue to pamper him and that he should grow up and move on, im using same words for u now mr yobo,we cant continue to accommodate your mediocrity and school boy errors ok- thanks for everything and the trophy-less years you have captained this nation not until nw were u lifted the trophy as a part time player. its time for u to move on. goodbye yobo. its our duty to retire you by force from the national team since you don't want to retire.[/b] 2 Likes |

Yes we won afcon but that pair remains untested let's stop blsting yobo. Yobo is our most experieced defender. Good coches would still take at least 2 or 3 experienced papas to the world cup talkless of naija. We are not exactly spain, germany or brazil but here we are making noise about oboabuna and omeruwa. Ha! Jungle go soon maature. Yobo and osaze were always our loyal and darling players, very dedicated. Osaze even won the ait player of the year for his commitment and loyalty. Something went wrong along the line. As for we nigerians we are here siding with keshi, his own day of yabbing is around the corner. Which coach wey we never yab for this country? Osaze and yobo couldn't have become the devils all so suddenly all of us would behave like our typical nff and president in positions of power. |

We don see omerua and oboabuna yobo don become scrap! In some civiized society the coach would even TRAVEL, NOT CALL BUT TRAVEL to see yobo and have a discussion with him. And here we are blasting yobo. In this country our super eagles get injured and are abandoned, they retire and die of neglect and misery. So why am I even surprised about this issue? |

Goke7: You've made a lot of sense. Its usually hard for a player to swallow it when another younger player is replacing him. Yobo should understand and he shouldn't be hasty to go to the public. Fact is that Yobo being on the bench in the tournament was the best decision Keshi made. And if Keshi has found some1 better, shouldn't Keshi play him ahead of Yobo? What Keshi did also happened to him. The last time SE lifted the trophy, Keshi was on the bench. Keshi didn't play much game in the USA94 world cup. What I understand is that players would always have egos. May be Keshi should carry them along, but that shouldn't stop him from doing what he ought to do. |

Am surprised that Yobo could complain of respect when he refused to respect elders before him. Whenever Kanu comes as a sub, Yobo will refuse to aknowledge him or even handing over d cap band to him. Kanu will leave him and focus on winning matches. Kanu is a hero anyday anytime. Yobo is just lucky to be allowed to lift d trophy he refused letting his team mates touch. He has lost the captainship long time ago when he couldnt coordinate the defense in our first game in afcon. |

They won nothing in their time, so there's no reason for us to feel beholden to them, especially now that they're past their prime. The Super Eagles are bigger than any player.

Re: Joseph Yobo Uncensored! I Can’t Be A Part-Time Eagles Player by dabossman(m): 7:23pm On Apr 05, 2013 |
Have we even stopped to think that maybe Keshi is giving Yobo enough room to call time on his international career on his own terms instead of being told he is no longer needed like a discarded tissue paper? Would Yobo have preferred a phone call that goes like this: Keshi: Hello. Joe? I called to inform you that you are no longer needed in the national team. I only took you to the Nations Cup out of respect for all the years of sacrifice you made to the nation. I'll be naming Enyeama/Mikel as my new captain. I will be giving a press conference tomorrow to make this announcement. Thanks and bye. I bet if that had happened Yobo would still be here complaining that he was used and dumped by Nigeria. Dude, just honorably retire from international football and take you place alongside the greats like Jay-Jay, Kanu and co. You've earned it. Go out on a high if you truly have a reputation to protect. And to be honest, I'm yet to see where it is stated that a coach must call every player to inform them they won't be playing a game. National team players are selected from a pool, and no one has a permanent spot in the team. It's painful, especially when you want to play for your country, but sh*t happens. 2 Likes |

Re: Joseph Yobo Uncensored! I Can’t Be A Part-Time Eagles Player by andyanders: 8:18pm On Apr 05, 2013 |
Yes, Yobo has tried during his time as a player but then, he should be respected by Keshi telling him straight that with his present form, that he is no more relevant with the present youthful team. With the way things went through during African Nations Cup, Yobo was supposed to have thrown in the towel because he is old inwardly as age is not on his side because no Nigerian player plays with his true age, unless Osaze. All our players and both junior team and senior teams players falsified their ages, that we know. To this issue, if Yobo is wise, let him go and allow Keshi play his tricks because everything in Nigeria is politics. By Yobo trying to be a good boy by ranting on the pages of newspapers, he is doing more harm to himself and career. That is why I will respect Kalu Nwankwo and J.J Okocha. |

People, athletes especially, should learn that their personal egos and aspirations can NEVER be placed above the team. Even if your country is akin to a den of thieves, Playing for your nation should be a thing of pride, a call to service. It is a duty you owe to your country, not a duty owed to you! |

On the breach of communication aspect, I blame keshi for that, he as the leader should communicate with his players from time to time, for the way he treated yobo, I also blame him for that, keshi should have held a meeting with him been the skipper of the team, he has to be given that utmost respect. But yobo was also wrong for coming out to voice his view, he should have called the coach and ask why he was left out. Three players have complained about the same thing, so my advise is that keshi should get down on his high horse and stop all this bullshit that's rocking the african champions camp. |
Re: Joseph Yobo Uncensored! I Can’t Be A Part-Time Eagles Player by siaindeed: 9:24pm On Apr 05, 2013 |
Though Yobo is ageing, he knows what he is saying about the Super he has been with, particularly under the coach of Mr. Keshi. You guys, who told you there is no corruption in NFF/Super Eagles? Probably, that is what the guy is trying to let out of the bag, but he finds it difficult and childish disclosing on air of such. No wonder he is not interested on twitter account. You guys, a lots are happening as most of my friends are footballers and we hear issues of atrocity in Nigerian football everyday on field before and after training match. Lastly, you can only know about things you are involved in or things your people get themselves involved in. |
