chrisooblog: The seeding I shared here sometimes ago was fake then... though many sport websites carried it.. Seems like caf gave us more point for winning the afcon in 2013 and also cus of our FIFA ranking... maybe the ranking carries more point cus I don't get why CIV aren't in pot 1 . |

Bolowolowo: We may not realize it now but this is a very serious matter. There is already the impression among FB's that our national teams view them as outsiders. First it was Alaba getting snubbed, then Amokachi snubbing Beyreuther despite the latter's impassioned plea to the NFF to consider him, then Sophia Omidiji being snubbed for the women's AFCON despite doing quite well for her club,.... the list is endless. I am not saying FB's should get automatic shirts, but we must handle this matter veeery delicately and diplomatically. I would advise the coach to make a public statement commending all the rejected foreign born players for thier patriotism and giving some reasons why they were dropped as well as expressing hope that they will maintain thier allegiance to us in the future. Publicity can make or mar any organization. 4 Likes |

Curtisaxel7: If they see us take Ekong, Balogun and Idowu to the World Cup and still feel marginalized, then it is not our fault. If they do not want to play, it is not by force. We will scout and keep raising talents that will fight for us when it matters the most. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Curtisaxel7: How about Balogun, Ekong and Ebeuhi? These people need to understand that they cannot all be there. First of all, there are a lot of Nigerians. Secondly, there are other FBs who made the list as well. I know in the past we haven't always done things properly, but like you said being foreign born does not mean you get an automatic shirt. I can understand with Sophie and Deji because I don't know why they have not been called up, but Lateef is still eligible for the next U17 World Cup and he can still try again. Manu Garba imo is probably one of the fairest coaches (at this level) that we have and someone mentioned that he had a pool of 60 boys to choose from. Like elyte said, what of those who were in camp, impressed the coach, and MRI didn't let them through despite being within the correct age bracket? Let these foreign borns also understand. We don't want them to feel like outsiders but we can't give them preference over their colleagues born here either. Everyone deserves a fair chance. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Paul Onuachu is currently getting all the accolades when Nigerian players playing for Danish side Midtjylland are talked about and rightly so because of his impressive form in front of goals the past three seasons. Onuachu’s form has already earned him a first senior cap for Nigeria but if he maintains his current form it won’t be long before another Nigerian at the club Frank Onyeka get the recognition his form deserve with a national team call up. Still only 21 which means he is eligible for the Nigerian Olympic team, Onyeka has won three straight man of the match award this season and he capped his fine season with a wonderful goal in Midtjylland’s 2-2 draw away to Esbjerg four days ago. Already a winner of the Danish Superliga last season, the midfielder who already has three goals from 15 league games this season, one less of his total from same number of games last season is tipped for a summer move to a top league. Quick, strong, skillful and with an eye for goal, he has been a revelation this season in the midfield alongside 28 year old fellow Nigerian Rilwan Hassan who has been at the club since 2010. |

Though I wish to see him [Lateef] in GWG, but I trust the Decision of Manu Garba and kudos to the NFF for not forcing Lateef on him. Lateef needs to calm and wait for the future. I understand his Temperament, he's young, did everything to don the GWG but feeling dejected and rejected for not making the final List. I will rather advise him to keep it cool, up his Game, who knows he might be on Board to the World Cup. 1 Like |

Oasis007: After all he played the U15 tournament, is that not also GWG?. The boy is still young to play U17 abeg. He should wait for the next crop. There are so many U15 talents discovered from that U15 tournament not just Lateef. He should wait and play with his mates in 2years time. |

Omidiji is human first. So the frustration and disappointment ain't strange. I trust Manu's selection process beyond doubt. The boy will need to put in more effort if he is to play for any of our age grade teams or wait till he turns pro. No homegrown kid will ever allow such opportunity of making it big to slip off to the FBs so the reason for high competitiveness in camp. Finally, I must salute the two FBs for putting in great shift to make the cut. It's aint easy competing against hungry boys. They've made history as the first set of FBs to make it into the u-17s. 2 Likes |

That said, Most people in here av talked the talk(berating CIV), I wonder why they are now so scared of walking the walk. About SA, I just want their runny bucalcavities shot for good.
