Villarreal striker Ikechukwu Uche has denied the accusation that he demanded an apology from Stephen Keshi before he would agree to return to the Super Eagles.

Uche was dropped from the Nigeria squad to the Brazil 2014 World Cup by Keshi after the striker and the coach fell out.

But Keshi claimed he would have recalled the former Getafe star for the AFCON qualifiers against Congo and South Africa but for the player’s demands.

However, Uche has insisted he is always ready to play for his country without any conditions.

“It’s an honour to play for Nigeria,” Uche tweeted on Wednesday night. “I don’t expect to be begged or given special treatment. I’m available when/if considered for selection.”

The Eagles face Congo in Calabar on Saturday and South Africa in Cape Town next Sunday.

i know this will someday happen but not in this present day and age, government is racially institutionalized. See how popular the EPL is but one could hardly find a Black manager or in the FA not talk about ruling the nation. Most kids are taught at home and then grow up here with the idea that they are superior to the black man, it will take generations and time to change this mentality, and that is even if it will ever get addressed.

Good old memories!!

This is the first site i always visit when i step into the office;(


please can someone tell me which other site one can go to for Nigerian football.

A Colombian lawyer is suing Fifa for 1bn Euros for moral damages caused by the refereeing at the World Cup.

74-year-old Aurelio Jimenez claims he was taken to hospital with cardiac and respiratory problems as a result of Colombia's 2-1 defeat to Brazil in the quarter-final - a match in which Colombian defender Mario Yepes had a goal disallowed and James Rodriguez was booked.

Jimenez says: "I decided to sue Fifa because in the World Cup there were many wrongdoings related to referees who damaged many countries , among them the Colombia team that suffered the corruption of referee Antonio Velasco Carballo, who annulled a fair goal of Mario Alberto Yepes.

"I felt very bad, I was heartbroken, my cardiac rhythm was altered and my relatives took me to the Emergency Room at the Hospital. I was surrounded by my grandchildren who were crying a lot."

if only we have good governance Naija would have been the best country to live-in in the world!!

When we dey prove say we sabi too much, no tranparency and accountabilty for all the funds and aids previously received. if our economy was well managed we should be the ones dishing out aids to other counties, money miss road na im be out Story!! Well done Obama, Hope the UK follows suit!!

This is digraceful!! So what is all this story we keep hearing about how Fashola is effecting changes in Lagos and yet a mainstream location is in such a state. i havent been to Naija in a while but my Mrs just been and lamented at the state of things in Lagos apart from the Lekki area, so is all the heaps of Praises on Fashola Political or what??

No be only Zobo na jedi jedi, what a lame excuse for their lackadaisical attitude. it actually shows how in-capable these guys are, could they not have done their own preliminary test, i even doubt if the athletics fedeartion of naija have the necessary tools to carry out these tests.
