Ezenwa's confidence was a welcome relief from Akpeyi's obvious shakiness. His confidence gave confidence to his defence. He did what he had to do well. Yes, Cameroon did not have many shots but Ezenwa passed whatever was thrown at him. As regards his 'showboating', he was simply wasting time. That could be vital in Yaounde especially if we have a slender lead. 3 Likes |

Rohr likes Mikel Agu. I think he is managing Agbo because of a lack of center back options. Aaron Samuel did not impress. 3 Likes |

The chances of his recovery are quite good based on cancer stats across various cancer organization sites for Ikeme's kind of Leukaemia being Acute Myeloid or Acute Lyphoblastic... not sure which but it is one of them... All he needs is our prayers. He seems very lively and positive himself (posted a tweet of himself changing medical wards for tests and he was like... "Hey! it is deadline day and I am doing my medicals too... hehehe" ) and optimism is a good factor that can swing the whole thing in his favor.... "Power of Attraction" ![]() So plsss... when you think of our Super Eagles just remember Ikeme and say a little prayer for him. It will go a long way. I believe he will recover... his chances are good. Mujtahida: 3 Likes |

Babangida: Eagles Must Adopt Safety First Approach Vs Cameroon In Yaounde By James Agberebi ![]() Former Nigeria international, Tijani Babangida has advised the Super Eagles to adopt a cautious approach in their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers second leg match against Cameroon in Yaoundé on Monday., Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Eagles blew away Cameroon with aresounding 4-0 win in the first leg played in Uyo on Friday to secure their third straight win of the World Cup qualifying Group B. The win saw the Eagles earn nine points after three games while Cameroon are third on two points. In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com, Babangida who was in the Super Eagles side that lost on penalties to Cameroon in the final of the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations in Lagos, advised Gernot Rohr’s team to be patient in their approach to the match. “My advice to the Super Eagles is that they should be patient,” Babangida said. “In the first leg, it was Cameroon in the first 10 minutes of the game, but the Eagles kept calm and warmed themselves into the game. “So in Yaoundé, I would want them to sit back and watch what Cameroon have to offer before making their move.” Following Zambia’s 3-1 home win against Algeria on Saturday, the Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold medal winner urged the Eagles to focus on their own games and not bother about how other teams in the group are faring. He added:”No team must be underrated because teams are improving. Who says Zambia cannot go to Algeria and get a win? But my advice to the Eagles is that they must not worry about what the other teams are doing, rather they should focus on their own games.” Source: https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/babangida-eagles-must-adopt-safety-first-approach-vs-cameroon-yaounde/ 1 Like |

Mikel: Hostile Cameroon Crowd Can’t Stop Super Eagles’ World Cup Mission By Nurudeen Obalola in Yaounde ![]() Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has claimed that there is nothing special in playing Cameroon in Yaounde, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Nigeria play the Indomitable Lions in the second leg of a World Cup qualifying double-header here in Yaounde on Monday from 6pm having won the first clash 4-0 in Uyo on Friday night. “There’s no big deal playing in Yaounde,” Mikel said in the pre-match press conference at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo on Sunday. “It’s no different from when we played Algeria in Uyo or Zambia in Ndola or even Cameroon in Uyo. “We play the same way we play, it’s the same players. “Our mission at the beginning of the qualifiers was to reach the World Cup. Our goal remains the same, playing in Yaounde won’t change that.” When Mikel, who was in sparkling form in Uyo, was reminded that Cameroon have not lost at home in years, and that he should expect a big, hostile crowd, he responded: “We’re ready for anything. Hostile supporters won’t stop us. We’ll remain calm and play our game, no matter what happens.” Source: https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/mikel-hostile-cameroon-crowd-cant-stop-super-eagles-world-cup-mission/ 1 Like |

Rohr: Super Eagles Ready To Silence Yaounde Crowd By Nurudeen Obalola in Yaounde ![]() Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is confident his team will post a positive result on Monday when they face Cameroon here on Monday night, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Nigerian side were devastating in Uyo on Friday night, defeating the Lions 4-0 in the first of a double-header. “My players will do their talking on the pitch,” Rohr said during his pre-match press conference at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo on Sunday, when told that Cameroon coach Hugo Broos had been boastful. “It’s understandable that after a poor result the losing team will talk tough. It’s natural they’ll want revenge. But we’re confident of a positive result. “Losing 4-0 can have an effect on a team and we expect Cameroon to respond tomorrow.” Rohr is aware that Cameroonian fans will attempt to intimidate his side, but he is not fazed. “We saw some of the Cameroon fans in Uyo on Friday, but they were quiet. We hope to keep them quiet again tomorrow,” Rohr added. “I have complete confidence in my team. The crowd will not affect them.” A win for Nigeria on Monday will virtually guarantee qualification, while the Cameroonians need a miracle even if they win.

goldfish80: they said it's acute leukamia, well it depends primarily on his blood group and how strong he is(his heart specifically), no need going deep, the report has it that Ikeme is a strong guy(I am guessing the strong guy means his heart and blood group makes sense) so he may play again, after more than a year of theraphy, I think he might even need a serious dose of psychotheraphy after that 1 year, making it to the world cup? 40% likely |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:11pm On Sep 03, 2017 |
Okay First of all... Leukemia is a kind of cancer. A cancer of the blood where the white blood cells are mainly affected including the bone marrow. The anormaly is that the white blood cells are produced in large quantities and most if not all fail to mature and this disrupts the balanced ratio of red blood cells (responsible for Oxygen carriage) to White blood cells (responsible for fighting infections). When this happens and infections and pathogens do invade the body, these immature WBCs cannot fight back. And when these leukemic WBCs accumulate beyond the normal, it interferes with Vitally precious organ amd system functions/physiology. It affects red blood cells production meaning oxygen carriage will be threatened big time. And also platelets formation will start reducing and without platelets there will be no clotting of wounds and bruises. So a leukemic person becomes vulnerable on the outside to any bodily harm such as bruises, internal or external harms such as bleeding and even more infections. So that is a start... yes it is terrible but medical science has made it possible for Leukemia to be beaten. And additionally like I told Mujtahida... it is acute Leukemia... not chronic. What I am not yet sure of is whether it is Acute Myeloid or Acute Lymphoblastic... but whatever the case his chances are quite good. He should only remian positive and so far he is doing a good job of it. goldfish80: |

CAMEROON VS NIGERIA: Ighalo Doubtful; Iheanacho, Nwakaeme Set To Replace Him By Nurudeen Obalola in Yaounde ![]() Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that Odion Ighalo is a doubt for Monday night’s World Cup qualifier against Cameroon here in Yaounde, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Ighalo, who scored the first goal in the 4-0 on Friday in Uyo before being withdrawn with an injury, participated in the first 20 minutes of the team’s training session at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo on Sunday evening that Completesportsnigeria.com was allowed to watch. But Rohr said the China-based striker might not play as a precaution. “Ighalo trained good but we’ll be monitoring him, we don’t want to take risks,” Rohr explained moments after the team finished training at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo main pitch, which will be used for Monday’s match. Rohr said he has ready replacements if Ighalo cannot make the match. “Kelechi (Iheanacho) or Anthony (Nwakaeme) will be drafted in if Ighalo cannot play. We’ll make the final decision tomorrow.” Iheanacho scored the fourth goal on Friday while Nwakaeme is waiting for his first cap.

TheSuperNerd: I would assume you are just giving him a background knowledge so I won't take up anything from here. However the main casualty here are the platelets, this is so because he is a sport man and they go get minor bruises. I have seen patients with red blood cell deficieny but they still survive well because blood can still dissolve oxygen, so that's apart. Lack of white blood cells is quite similar to what HIV does, and people survive with HIV, so that one is not the main problem. Stimulating his blood and marrows to produce platelets yet again is going to take more than 9months at least so all these talk about world cup seems highly unlikely, let's pray he manages to make it out of the hospital for now |
