Famocious:


500£ a day is likely for specialists especially the surgeons.

Hard to get into a training program in UK for non citizens though areas like family medicine and acute medicine are relatively easier.

Sorry for the digression

It is not hard, it depends which area of specialisation you pursue. There are areas of specialist medicine with acute shortages.

OMANBALA1:


I am not here to compare anybody to the other....I am just saying that the northerners rarely produce midfielders in the mould of Oruma,Okocha,Okwaraji,Etim,Oliha Henry Nwosu and Mutiu. You don't often find these type of players in the north.
Garba Lawal is not a typical attacking midfielder. Khadiri Ikhana is from Edo,Otolorin and Alabo though I don't know them sounds Yorubaish....We know what I mean by northern players....like Niger and Chad kind of north.

Again I am not comparing regions because I can see you throwing your brothers names around....Forgiveness brother...lol

To what purpose is this observation, does it increase our understanding does it add value to the discourse.

CERTAINLY NOT.

It does the exact opposite, tribalism is at the heart of the Nigerian multi faceted problem. Tribalism has caused death and untold hardships.

It causes suspicions and disunity.

It is of no purpose to this thread.

I was born in the UK, visited Nigeria for the first time when I was 11 finished high school here and then left to study in the UK.

I speak Igbo, working knowledge of Yoruba and my own Uhrobo / Isoko. But I am totally DE- TRIBALISED.

Nigerians To Watch in Today's Championship Fixtures:


TIME: 7.45pm NT (All matches)

Barnsley VS QPR
QPR captain, Nedum Onuoha will not be involved as he is not expected to return from injury within the next 3 months.
However, Bright Osayi-Samuel is available for selection for QPR's matchday squad today. Hopefully he finally gets the nod to play.

Bristol VS Bolton
Derik Osede will not feature for Bolton as he is still out injured.
Bolton's Sammy Ameobi also have been out due to injury since early August. It's unclear if he would return tonight.

Hull VS Preston
Hull's duo of Fikayo Tomori and Ola Aina will most likely start, as they entertain Preston.

Ipswich VS Sunderland
Dominic Lorfa is expected to maintain his regular appearance for Ipswich as they welcome Sunderland.
Tom Adeyemi is also available for Ipswich, and could likely start as has clocked 90 minutes in their last two matches.

Millwall VS Reading
Millwall welcome Sone Aluko's Reading. Aluko is expected to start.





Can I add

Burton Albion Vs Aston Villa

With two Nigerian midfielders, Tega Onomah and Hope Akpan who play almost the same roles for thier teams.

I haven't seen Tega live for some time I may consider going down to watch the game, but not sure yet.

Also Fred Onyedinma at Millwall, I really expected to see him in the premiership suprised he is still at Millwall.

Reading Fc have the unimpressive to me Ilori but the up and coming Gabriel Osho both if them are defenders , however, I can't say much about Osho never seen him play.

We expect the U20 World Cup winner with England to at least hop off Aston Villa's bench.
We expect the same for Akpon

Nottingham VS Fulham
Sheyi Ojo's Fulham travel to Nottingham.

Barnsley VS QPR
QPR captain, Nedum Onuoha will not be involved as he is not expected to return from injury within the next 3 months.

Fred Onyedinma's Millwall welcome Sone Aluko's Reading. Both players are expected to feature prominently.
Tiago Ilori who started from Reading's bench last week may feature again in a similar capacity.
Reading's CB, Gabriel Osho together with teammate Ademola Shokunbi, were on for Reading's U23 side yesterday in their 2-2 draw with Norwich U23 (which paraded 17 year old defender, Mark Odusina ). Hence, both will not feature.

Tosin is with Man City's U23 if i'm not mistaking. I've been particular about the championship.

Kog45:
The fact remain Echiejele is an average player with good packaging and very good agent,we must respect him for that,he moves out of any club either on loan or transfer d moment he discovered his starting is not guarantee,this has been his unique selling point.

This has been a plus for his ever presence in d national team and we must give kudos to him,his best form was 2012/2013 season and afcon 2013,since then no remarkable performance except WC qualifier against Algeria.Let wait and see may be he w prove us wrong against Zambia coz sometimes he rose to d occasion.

Pls Jobie is Tosin Adarabioyo of man city not a Nigerian coz i don't see guys talking about him on this thread,even thegoodjoe of man city.

Jobie,pls what can u say

1)Alampasu as standby from main squad.

2)Also Ebuehi from main squad to standby

3)Afeez Aremu good for him to have d experience,also good for Ifeanyi Ifeanyi for making d standby again

4)Iwobi definitely a class that no coach w leave out.

5)Omeruo just need to regain his form back or else he w not be in Russia,Oyekwuru his time w come, Muzzam just need to settle down in his new club,Stephen Eze,how i wish he make d standby but Rohr want Adeleye who injury rule out.

Good list.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 9:09am On Sep 26, 2017
1. I think Rohr has seen much of Alampasu. I'd like to say Ajiboye is still under watch. And Akpeyi is considered the 1st choice of the quartet.
2. The demotion of Ebuehi does not come to me as a surprise. I think he has not been useful especially against physical African oppositions. He will definitely get another look in, maybe against Algeria or for our future pre-World Cup friendlies.
3. Aremu another training material. Rohr's pick of the lot that lost to Ghana. Ifeanyi is trusted.
4. Back from injury
5. I agree with your observations

This is a match we need all experienced players to execute. Once we win this match, Rohr should be ready to use the last match to cap all the newly invited players. Everyone of them must play the match against Algeria. I think it would be fair this way.

Seriously I'm getting tired of seeing Musa on the team. We have Onyekuru, Bonaventure, etc playing well and we keep picking Musa because of "experience". I don't know what he brings to the table that we can't get from Kayode, Onyekuru and Bonaventure

Seriously I'm getting tired of seeing Musa on the team. We have Onyekuru, Bonaventure, etc playing well and we keep picking Musa because of "experience". I don't know what he brings to the table that we can't get from Kayode, Onyekuru and Bonaventure

Time Will tell bro... Let us qualify first and see what the trio can achieve at the end of the season..

Dey just dey give musa chance not because of experience alone but cos he is one of the leaders in the house... Musa is like PHCN... He can explode anytime

This is a match we need all experienced players to execute. Once we win this match, Rohr should be ready to use the last match to cap all the newly invited players. Everyone of them must play the match against Algeria. I think it would be fair this way.


If you can observe Rohr very well... He's not taking risk at all or very little risk... All he want is result and result... Thats all

It's so painful, Rohr doesn't rate Onyekuru that highly. I would pick him ahead of Musa, while the later takes Aaron Samuel's place on the standby list, I would also make a chance for Kayode on the standby list. It's his call at the end of the day and that was just my 2cent.

You don't know Onyekuru and Musa better than Rohr.

Some of the rudiments of coaching:

1. You don't change a winning formation.
2. You don't change a winning team.

And that's what matters, no room for experiment at this stage. Once we are able to seal the world cup ticket. He can start playing the new legs. We have enough friendlies and nations cup qualifiers for them. I'm okay with the list.
