Daninya11:


Sir, with all due respect What makes you think I am a nobody I will take no exception to such allusion. I strongly opine that you choose your words carefully next time when addressing People or issues.

I don't recall forcing my opinion on anybody or dictating to Sunday Oliseh. What makes Nigerians think we can defeat the Pharaohs of Egypt with this disorganized and disjointed team. Let's see how the team fare without mikel in the heart of midfield.

We have tried rookies in the absence of mikel and they have all failed woefully. As it stands for now, he remains our best bet in the heart of midfield. Where are the likes of Gabriel Reubens nicknamed Mikel clown?? Lukman Haruna Rabiu Ibrahim?? Ramon Azeez etc. When Mikel successor appears, it will be glaring for all to see..

My opinion is mine and I am free to Air it out.

Daninya11:
Take it or leave it,Mikel remains our best Midfielder after the exit of our midfield maestro, Jay Jay Okocha.
We all know that he is slow so what??... Every player has a weakness no matter how good he is.
It is left for the coach to play him to his own strength.
Was it not the same Mikel who performed incredibly well in Afcon 2013 If you want him to play to his strength give him cover with the right kind of midfield combo of and I bet you, he will perform.
We have had instances where he dictated the pace of a game in the favor of Nigeria.
I believe Oliseh distorted the Swaziland game plan by not fielding Mikel.

I insist that Oliseh twerk the Eagles midfield to accommodate Mikel...

How right you are. I am the "Big Zero"

B- Better

I- In

G- Greatness

AND

Z- Zealous

E- Enthusiastic

R- Respected

O- Outstanding "Oga"

Thanks Sir. Such a pleasure. *smiles*

**now run along ok..... Je suis enchante**

TheSuperNerd:
Onazi switching positions doesn't make him all of a sudden AN ATTACKING MIDFIELDER. His "PRIMARY" role is "defensive/central midfield".

So what are you talking about?? *smiles*

Ok..... Enough of this...... I recognise an "attention seeker" and "subtle ignoramus" when I see one.

**so just run along now**

TheSuperNerd:
Haba!!!! Him again...... *smiles*

Na wa o!!! *smh*

It's obvious you got poor understanding of the game.

Onazi an attacking midfielder??

Hmmmm...... Haters everywhere. Pls, visit the Super Eagles thread before you embarass yourself ok.

You termed me a "sadist". *smiles* Well, that just shows you got no clues to whom you're referring.

**smiles**

Just check out the sports section and see for yourself before "IGNORANTLY" giving people names.

TheSuperNerd:
Well.... It's obvious you don't like Mikel.

Did you watch him against DR Congo and Cameroun??

Can Ogude and Esiti boss a midfield like Mikel does in the Green and White??

It's not a matter of "Pah!"

**smiles**

It's a matter of facts. Esiti is good but can't play the central midfield role the way Mikel does. Mikel is leagues ahead.

TheSuperNerd:
Sorry Sir. Mikel's position isn't under any kind of threat.

OUR MIDFIELD DIDN'T CLICK TODAY AGAINST AN ORDINARY SWAZILAND TEAM.

No one there could dictate the game's pace or distribute the ball properly. Onazi tried but mehn!!!! Even he fell short.

The only reason Mikel may keep being benched will be due to Oliseh's "I-wanna-prove-a-point" tactics which may be our BANE by the time we come up against stronger teams. Oliseh should stop being stubborn and quit toying with our national team.

I like Oliseh. He had good tactical ideas. But his "wahala" is getting too much. Left out Mikel, left out Iheanacho, left out Oboabona, left out Echiejile...... Oliseh is toying with the team's core and the team's future core. He should stop it coz it's not working.


No senior midfielder in this team can boss the midfield or play the central midfield like Mikel.

That's just the sad truth.

kannymoore:


Bros..

I'm 95% certain you didnt watch today's match!

You call Swaziland ordinary ba?

A country that trounced djibouti 7-1 aggregate..innit?

Please, kindly remind me the last time our Super eagles team beat a minnow by that scoreline in very recent history

Instead, you peep, find out its 2-0 and scoff.


Nonsense!!!!!!

As for mikel sitting on the bench; if the coach says he should then let his decision stand!!

Afterall, mikel played the first leg and had very subpar performance that almost cost us two goals!

Naaah!... if Mikel or any player isn't prepared to sit up and release balls faster to other players then he should sit his buttocks down to the bench!

Oliseh seems to have an idea of how he wants his teams to play and i'm buying into his idea.
Nigeria has speedy players, hence our game-play needs to be a bit faster and purposeful than the snail paced fotie that has bedeviled ur game-play for over a decade now. Oliseh wants our CM's t release the balls faster to our attackers especially when we're on a counter instead of jogging and ball-hogging until our opponents regroup, ence, blunting our attack.

And as for results, Oliseh has my Back.

I think he's won 4 games 3draws 1 loss with 9goals and 7clean sheets!

I can't remember any Nigerian coach in recent times that's beaten this statistic... especially as it's coming from a "rookie coach".

Mehn... oliseh's brand out Super Eagles footie trounces almost every brand of football that we've played for the past decade and a half save Siasia's brief spell.

End of story.

Long story short.. everyone should learn to support the team.. and the coach too. He has his shortcomings as with everyone of us but alas, HE'S THE BOS and the players and us followers should learn to support and appreciate his decisions...even when we sometimes think we know it all.


Ps... i pray I never get to write and epistle like this again. I hate epistles!

Meanwhile, how's school by the way?

collinsVP:
oliseh's performance is analogous to an undergraduate who lobbyed his way to make first class and could not defend it in application.

it is easier said than done.

bettermike:

Rabiu Ibrahim should not even have been called up. But then, I think it was a political decision. The northern quota had to be maintained. His game in the last friendlies showed his poor class especially when Mikel was on the pitch with him. Inferiority complex perhaps.

I think you got it wrong here. Martins was not brought to strike. He was meant to replace Mikel which I think was a good decision because we began to see the opponent goal more often. Mikel sat too deep but martins spent more time in the opponent half of the pitch. Another good decision by oliseh. Also rememering that Mikel was about to cost us the match.
Also if you follow martins in the mls, you should already know that he is no longer new to such roles.

Iheanacho tried. Needs more playing time.

Oliseh, to me, is my man of the match. If not for the poor officiating, Nigeria would have won comfortably.
It takes courage to realise that you have made mistake and correct it immediately by removing a player you brought on. If that player was left on, you will be the first to come here to scream like a new born baby.

What I took out of the match was simple. Now we have a coach. He saw that the wings were blocked and changed tactics swiftly. That is the hallmark of wisdom. All we need now is patience and some luck.


Am happy.

Jarus:
Rabiu Ibrahim
Came in, played for few minutes before being yanked off again. Meant to assist Mikel in the midfield but nothing was seen of him. 2/10

Obafemi Martins
Mikel was, IMO,wrongfully removed and Martins deployed to play in the midfield, when Mikel should be retained and allowed to feed Martins who should have replaced Musa or Simon. He showed his fighting spirit and did well trying to mark and distribute ball to the strikers. A decent return. 6/10

Kelechi Iheanacho
A debut the Man City youngster will like to forget in a hurry. Gave ball away, no accurate passes. Lost at some other times. 2/10


Oliseh: Did well by recalling Martins to SE team. I think removing Mikel was not optimal. For not winning this match, I'm rating him 4/10.

Lalasticlala: 10/10

Jarus:
Ahmed Musa
An off day for the skipper. Not sure he has the charisma to carry this team. Hugely talented, but today's game is one reason why pundits often use him and inconsistency in the same sentence. No good runs. No good pass. A bad game. 4/10

Moses Simon
He failed to live to expectation as the star of the recent victory versus Cameroun. Made made flashes of brilliance, but no result. 4/10

Odion Ighalo
Not much was seen of him. It appeared there was a disconnect between midfield and attack. The highly rated striker did not live to billing. 4/10

Jarus:
It's been a while I did player rating for Eagles matches, but I'm deciding to do for this match.

Yet again, the SE struggled against an unrated African opposition. But for the for the wastefulness of the Swaziland team, they could have actually gone ahead as they had more scoring chances.

Carl Ikeme
Not tested much. No fantastic save to remember. He spent too much time dressing ball and sometimes killed tempo of game when he should have released the ball faster. Appeared composed nonetheless. 6/10

Abdullah Shehu
The right back was aweful in the first half. He didn't do much. He set too many feet wrong. He needs to work more to be rated as a professional that is capable of donning Nigerian national team jersey. 4/10

Efe Ambrose
Mr Cut. He appeared confident at the back with his signature cutting. He is becoming predictable and some opponents coaches may train their strikers on how to collect him from his cut. He also made an attempt to score from his trademark header in the second half. 5/10

Godfrey Oboabona
This guy returned to SE to have one of his worst games. His past rating has continued to wane and that may explain he is stuck to backwater club in Turkey. His passes were as poor as his defensive ability. A bad game. 3/10

Elderson Echiejile
The Monaco has toned down on his attacking style. He didn't link up with attack as he is known for. He could have done better. 4/10

Onazi Ogenyi
Hardworking but no sense. He plays in a world class team and much was expected of him. He needs to up his game. He gave away ball too easily. 4/10

Mikel Obi
Well, well, he may not be living to expectation but it was still glaring that he was a class ahead of his peers. He made flashes of passes - some accurate, some not so. He fell down too easily and also gave away possession a couple of time. Yet, it was glaring he was our best player. Removing him was a tactical blunder, IMO. 6/10.

He who has ears let him hear..... Flee from them just as Bible asked us to flee from temptation.. They are the real temptation talking from experience.... Flee and don't look back....

The Word was a god indeed .. Very funny set of people.. Day time cult

Again I say flee please... God bear me witness that I have warn people about them every where I go . Experience is the best teacher

Lothbrok:



Now I know your are really sick. . For making this statement.

I remember when I was younger. . A Jehovah Witness told me that Jesus was hung to a tree to die. . . not in a cross form. .



The hands were not spread apart like the cross sign, but. . stretched above the head. . What a sick doctrine. .
!

Lorax:
Their magazines are awesome, no doubt. I've lived with some of them and I have them as friends.They are wonderful set of people though. Let's be honest, they are biased in many ways.
1. They don't sing any other Christian songs even hymns and they expect you to sing their's.
2. They claim their magazines are free but when it's given to you, a donation is expected and if you decline you are given this evil look. I've seen instances where you won't be given any if you won't donate.
3. They have ridiculous rules.
4. They read the Bible out of context.
5. They claim to know the number of people that will inherit the earth.

You are deluded and if u are not careful, you could be sued for libel and defamation of character without any substantial and reasonable evidence
if i ask u to prove in the law court, how a secret cult operates, can you ?
be careful what u wish for, brother . . .

mitchyy:


You point has been heard. The fact that our numbers keep increasing despite the widespread is more than enough proof for us that we have Jehovah's backing.

NB: We do not sing hymns. So tell whomever gave you this false info to adopt and spread, that it didnt work

Pauloves:
JW to be sincere it's a very intrestn denom...i hav learnt a lot of virtues frm them thru dere hom study moreover they re well groundd academically they share the gospl wit a sound gusto bt where i tnd to disagree wit dem is there notion of christ divinity...howevr i urge them to keep on wit d pace at which they evangelise...less i frgt anothr beautifl thng abt JW is dere pacifism a prfct exemplificatin of christ meekness....

Anamachi3:




What is a Secret cult? Can u pls tell us all in Naira land what a secret cult is? Jehovah's witnesses are not a secret cult because all our beliefs based in the Bible are clearly exposed and can be found at our Unique and official Website(JW.ORG). We don't do things secretly
Our meetings being held at our Kingdom halls are always open to millions of people to attend free of charge without any collections. Our larger gatherings such as our Conventions and assemblies are always open to all and sundry including press to enjoy with us with spiritual program and wholesome associations.
So think Bro before u lay misqguided accusations on us.

bettermike:


Ask yourself one question: When was the Las time you heard any dirty story regarding the jw church? I bet none.
This is because they are a cult like group that have very dirty rules about protecting their dirty dealings. When I say cult, I mean cult!

Now lets continue...

6) Their women can be hellish. But the husband is only allowed to leave her on grounds of adultary alone. Any other case is not acceptable for divorce

7) Husband is not allowed to work far away from home such that he will not come back home for days. Same for marriage partners who intend to travel abroad, if he cant secure papers for both at the same time, he must forfeit the opportunity.

When sick, they are advised to endure the illness rather than go for treatment. If they die in the process, its better because heaven is sure for them. Pity.

bettermike:

More to come

bettermike:
As I was saying.... People, run away from jehova wickedness. You have been warned.

Let me share some of their dumb doctrines with you.

1) They are not allowed to marry non-jehova witnesses. Any member that marries an outsider will likely be ostracised and discriminated.

2) Any member that breaks their rules will be ostracised! Yes, no one will be allowed to talk to such member for a long time. Speak to such outcast member and you stand the risk of being outcast too

3) A televised broadcast information must not be shared with outsiders

4) They have a group of church elders in each of their branches that sit upon disciplinary cases.

5) They have an assasin-like group of youths that are ready to go to any lenght, even if it means hurting you, just to keep their secrets secret. What this means is, if they see that you have evidence of information that can tarnish their church image, they will bring you down! God help you if you have no strong security backing.

Is this not the same thing that cults do?

Sarang:



I am surprised.

But it happens.. people are sometimes like that. Heresay.
