[b]First, the news is a rumour and I was sad at how quickly I saw people tore into the young man without even asking how true the story is. It was not until I wrote of my reservation of the accusation that those antagonistic to him started using the clause "If it is true" in their comments. It shows some are nursing hatred for the man beforehand.

Second, Success should not be blamed AT ALL. If anyone has anything to say, let it all be directed to the NFF. It is this attitude of asking players to 'sacrifice' that has held us back for so long. How far would we have gone in the Olympics if instead of asking Siasia to sacrifice, we had put fire on the clueless Pinnick? Look at the World Cup, with the little support Keshi got, look what he did. What would have happened if instead of looking for his faults, we had taken swipe at the Federation.

I for one, will actively support it if all players refuse to fly until their monies are paid. I know some people here will blame them and call them unpatriotic while leaving the old-for-nothing men at the NFF alone. That's why we are where we are, not just in our football but in all areas of our national life. We accept a few lording it over the rest, and exalt mediocrity.

I repeat, sacrifice is not telling someone that is being cheated to accept being cheated. By doing that, you ACTIVELY encourage corruption on the part of the cheat.[/b]

It is not just a rumor but a false one. Though sir Joe is making sense as well as every other person, my anger is the way Success got torn to shreds without looking deeply to know the truth before the bashing.

REVEALED: ROHR FACING SELECTION
DILEMMA BETWEEN MOSES & MUSA, DUMP
4-3-3 FOR NEW FORMATION





Gernot Rohr has one major selection dilemma
ahead of Nigeria World Cup 2018 qualifiers tie
against Zambia on Sunday, even though he has
settled for a 4-2-3-1 formation.


The team that prosecuted the second half against
local side Plateau United are heavily favoured to
start on Sunday against Zambia, judging by the
various drills and tactical sessions witnessed by
Owngoalnigeria.com.


In goal Carl Ikeme will start in goal with Musa
Mohammed and Elderson Echiejile occupying the
full back position while William Troost Ekong will
partner Kenneth Omeruo in defence.


Just in front of the back four Eddy Onazi will get
the nod ahead of the inform Anderson Esiti due to
his long term national team partnership with
captain Mikel Obi.


Kelechi Iheanacho will play as the third man in
the middle for Nigeria but a little bit advanced
just behind Brown Ideye who will start as the
arrow head of Nigeria’s attack.


Arsenal teen star Alex Iwobi will occupy same left
spot from which he dazzled against Plateau
United in Wednesday’s test game but the right
side of the team is where the competition is in the
team.


Rohr initially settled for Moses Simon but his poor
abilities in tracking back to help out in defending,
especially on the right flank where Nigeria
appears suspect could see Ahmed Musa nick it
ahead of the Gent man.

Musa will provide coverage for Musa Mohammed,
whom the manager feels could be a target for the
Zambians due to his lack of experience.

sir joseph1013. I don't think anyone here is having any personal grudge against success. From what I have been reading here, everyone was happy he was finally called. My concern is how this act might affect him in future. Sometimes, this players need the national team more than how the National team needs them and will need to put up with those excesses. I feel success is comfortable for now. That is if there is any truth in the story.

Seriously, if someone told you that I have an atom of hatred for Isaac Success, will you believe, let alone utter such?

I am an Isaac Success fan. I have high hopes for him. When I drew my formation for this match, I put Isaac Success as the Left Wing forward. In my dream Super Eagles strike force, Isaac Success is there, alongside Iheanacho and Osimhen. It is pathetic you use the term nurse hatred.

Please, It is not you who made me use the if it is true. It was a comment on CyberEagles where someone said that it seems there are people in the NFF who do not want Success on the team because why was the news only about him.

well said, cos I wass wondering why would someone have grudge against Success, when no one spoke against his invitation to the National team, I personally want Success to get integrated fast into the team cos Oshimien-Iheanacho-Iwobi-Success & Nwakali will make the fulcrum of our golden generation. If any should "acted that way"(story might be false) I think it should be Iwobi.

I learn chess weekly and set aside time to improve regularly... You wanna grow really fast. Then don't be scared to take on "the best". You'll be humbled but you'll grow fast... Also add a few personal targets like studying Chess via the internet and much more.

[size=14pt]Dalung says Buhari has approved funds for Super Eagles’ World Cup Qualifier[/size]

The Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the funds needed for the Super Eagles to face their Zambian counterparts on Sunday.


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/dalung-says-buhari-approved-funds-super-eagles-world-cup-qualifier/

I do not know who is worse. Dalung or Pinnick. How come it is few days to the game that the Minister got funds available? If these men are not ready for the work, they should step down.

How come the Sports Minister and the NFF President do not share information until it is too late?

Don't be dissapointed if you just jumped to read this post due to the caption. You see, that's what your over dependence on certificates instead of skills can do. A well packaged Samsung or Lebanese, Nigerian or other nationals or company cellphones support office would send out adverts like this caption, and young people would rush in applications in millions. But some, in fact many in that group have the capacity to learn and set up a similar outlet, making multiples of that same amount they expect to be paid! Why? 1. There, the company would give him an identity tag for his role that may not be tagged "phone repairer". So he feels 'cool' working there even for 50k. 2. He conditions his expectations to a guaranteed price tag at the end of the month. 3. I don't just know ...really But you can make your own money! Train hard, work simple and smart!

Which kind words without pay? The Super Eagles team is not their regular job. As long as others have sacrificed and are in camp, then Success should have helped.

I repeat, if the news is true, then he is not ready for the challenges of Super Eagles.

I never encouraged corruption and you attributing that to me is very low. I must say.

I wish the Federal Government can fight the corruption in the NFF. However, FIFA tagged that interference. So do you advice players fold their arms, deny themselves a chance to play in a World Cup because of some corrupt officials?

It is not every job you collect wages. Some players donate their national team earnings to charity. A lot of people do charity work. It is not always about collecting wages.
That is not an excuse for your NFF to delegate the responsibility of footing flight tickets to the players.
