So what are you arguing? I said we should build our youth development structure.

So what is your problem?

TheGoodJoe:


We did not beg. We called them to CONVINCE them

Pure begging.

Pinnick: Please now, play.

Olise: No.

Pinnick: Consider us now. Ah ah. We are a great side.

Olise: No.

Pinnick: What can I do for you to help you change your mind.

Olise: If you qualify for the world cup, I will go.

Thunder fire your world cup mouth.

Bros how else do you want them to show this passion by getting nailed on a cross?

Balogun has suffered countless injuries playing for SE yet he's ever committed.

Aina was crying hot tears after our loss to Tunisia.

Aribo always committed as well.

Ebuehi despite not being in the original squad for 2021 afcon didn't pull diva stunts when he was called up as a replacement.

Even the local ones how can you measure their commitment and passion? Players we have to beg and pamper to show up for a match. Ordinary bench that Dennis was sitting for Moses Simon he was giving rohr attitude. Aina and Tyrone that were ignored a lot of times in favor of shehu still showed commitment to the team.

chrisooblog:
The same way we ''begged'' Victor Moses that year and thankfully we have an AFCON title to show for it.

TheGoodJoe:


Have a policy of them reaching out to us. Nathan Tella is a recent example. He made it known that he has a desire to play for us. We did not need to convince him. He is passionate for the team. We saw same with others like Balogun.

Have an open policy for them to reach out to us when they want to play for us.

Finito.

charlesemeka85:
if you like cry if players like adarabioyo,billing and eze who hv dribbled us a lot rescind their decision the nff will give them a big welcome party to the team

Someone like you will even prefer obinna nwobodo in the national team to billing

Na sentiment and bias keep 9ja the way it is today

charlesemeka85:
and those born and bred here wey no get passion for the team nko?

The likes of osimehn,Dennis and ighalo wey shun afcon she’s dem be foreign born kids?

Abi almighty jay jay and others that shunned invite for friendlies during their time in the national team dem born them for America abi?

Balogun reached out to us because he realized he wasn’t good for the German national team. Em eye open on time

Same goes to ekong

charlesemeka85:
reaching out to us is applicable as same as reaching out to them as well

Those we hv in the fold today how many reached out to us? Tella reaching out to us is because he knows he is not good enough to make the 3 lions squad and doesn’t hv any cap for their cadet teams

I hv watched him severally and I bet you that if brought to the team he has nothing to offer because currently redundant kalu and underperforming onyekuru are miles better than him

TheGoodJoe:


This was Aina before the call up to the Super Eagles sending his old kits to Lagos to help kids and young players.

He has a passion for us.

Kog45:
Thank you Charles,Stephen Keshi made a phone call to Balogun prior to 2014 WC and later played a friendly, got injured in that particular match.

Oga Charles beg or no beg,eagles need to quality players to enhance our performance.

TheGoodJoe:


You are just talking. You do not know how Tella will fair with us.

If you have to reach out to them, they likely have no passion to play for us.

Finito.

charlesemeka85:
akuko the same aina that it took time to accept to change allegiance to us?

Oga forget this your passion nonsense because it comes naturally when these players makes up their mind change allegiance to us

Once they accept the fact that making the snr national team of their country of birth is an uphill task they passion swifts to their second option so free this ur passion jargon

charlesemeka85:
I have seen him play loads of time for the saints and must confess without mincing words that he is the poorest talent wise from the bunch we re eyeing currently

Make em shine wella from now till the end of season with truck loads of goals and assist and England calls him up mk I see am decline the call up

TheGoodJoe:


Billing does not send a welcome party with the NFF. He has no passion for us.

TheGoodJoe:


Let him be the poorest. He has the passion to play for us. Than giving red carpet to Maradona that has no passion to play for us.

chrisooblog:
Balogun never reached out. Leon himself confirmed Keshi called him up to ask him if he would be willing to play for SE. Vicmo was definitely spoken to as well before he decided to rep the GWG. Reaching out doesn't mean you will be perpetually going after a player if he says no. It's about letting them know that if they change their minds the door is always open.

Tobias that initially said yes changed his mind heaven didn't collapse. Lookman that categorically said no he's now in the fold.

charlesemeka85:
passion and dedication no go replace talent if a player is deficient of that oooo

If u like carry national team matter for head if u good u good

TheGoodJoe:


This was Aina before the call up to the Super Eagles sending his old kits to Lagos to help kids and young players.

TheGoodJoe:


Balogun already had an interview where he declared his eagerness to play for us before the Keshi's call.

I don't remember us begging Victor Moses hut still he lacks genuine passion for us to the best of my understanding.

dkay51:


Wait...is Rohr still in Nigeria this one he has time to be commenting on any and every issue concerning Nigeria.

JohnBullMySon:
Lol. Ebere Eze has been doing the same. Same guy we have been on his matter for 5 years

Sey na passion we dey abi international titles?

Funny thing is a ''passionless'' Victor Moses was our best player in the last decade apart from Mikel.

TheGoodJoe:


When he is ready, let him reach out. Stop the red carpet treatment. I have nothing against him. He is not ready.

Invite those that have reached out.

Finito.

Alaba that recently donated outdoor toilets nko no be passion be that?

You guys make funny comments. What of Emenike, Ambrose, Onazi, these guys were pillars to our success then.
