Kon add Leon join.

Ekong should be the tallest since Etuhu i think.

Danielnino00:


Dennis is listed as 5'9 and Ekong as 6'3 Sha...

Danielnino00:


Funny enough, Maduka is the tallest guy in the team... Unless Wikipedia is wrong...

Kog45:
Sometimes you don't need finest to do it but real gidigbo player...check out Emeka Ezeugo under Clemens,Westerhof.

elyte89:



But seriously if Ghana wins and I am d deir coach..with dis statement,I would even make sure he doesn't support us from his living room let alone of making d team to d wcup

mostob:
I support you. Hope you know we have a similar situation here in Eze and Oliseh? What will be your decision on these two

elyte89:



Even though that might be deir intention too but making bold statement towards DT is a big slap on any nations face...its better one to diplomatic about such intentions Dan going out publicly to say such

yinkeys:

On current form, Nigeria will win against Ghana.
However it’s a pride match, so I won’t be surprised if a Ghanaian or two will prefer to get red cards than to let Nigeria easily get away with the win.
We might see some rough & determined footballers particularly in the 1st leg.
Could go into penalties in the second leg if our forwards don’t seal the win at Accra.

I don’t support the use of Abuja stadium
They’ve not played there for ages.
Thought they would have opted for Uyo stadium.
Not so familiar pitch, hope it doesn’t turn into 2 away games for us

mostob:
I agree. Dude is not even that good..he is just another Aba made Serge Gnabry

Oasis001:




No wonder Falconets beat Cameroon at same Abuja Stadium recently, coz they've been playing there for ages.

zuchyblink:
Okocha has spoken

charlesemeka85:
What if eze and olise makes it public that they will only switch to us if we qualify for the world?

TheGoodJoe:

.the do not have the mind. The people coaching us are not some boot lickers. If they try it, they will not get called up even if they win ballon d'or.

JohnBullMySon:
He made a rational decision which many of us will likely make too. But honestly he is worse than stupid to have said this in public, if he did.

I hope Ghana FA still has a bit of shame in them to stop running after this guy.

TheGoodJoe:


Terrible message from such a legend like Okocha. We need to keep working hard to improve as a team
That is how we can become a success in the long run.

Is Okocha asking us to park bus against Ghana
That is a defeatist mentality. We should go there with the mentality of dominating and winning.

Is it ignorance or is it delusional or even just a lack of basic understanding.

Corruption is endemic and institutionalised in our dear country. It's not about who is corrupt but who is not.

The EFFC, Nigerian Customs, to name just a few are endemically corrupt, it's not just institutionalised but long-standing generational, it's that bad.

Corruption is also accepted by most and almost IMPOSSIBLE as an individual to fight without grave consequences on you who challenges it.

NFF Coach Salisu was caught red handed and publicly disgraced and found culpable, blatant bribe taking. Some perfunctory sanctions were made against him as punitive measures. But it was more window dressing to appease public opinion somewhat.

Fast forward Salisu should have been banned and even imprisoned but he is now at the top of the pyramid in the NFF. That tells you the cultural of corruption still pervades at the highest level. I will not talk about SiaSia.

It's a reflection of just like many other government departments, agencies and or bodies in Nigeria. The NFF is no exception, it's endemically corrupt. Maybe you are blind to corruption but many here are not.

My former governor Ibori was discharged and acquitted of all charges of corruption at a Federal court in Asaba. He then pleaded guilty to very similar charges in British Court. Was convicted and given a 13 year jail sentence but served in prison for less than 7 years, returns to Nigeria, he is not arrested but literally given a red carpet state of welcome.

Ademola Lookman will watch the NFF spin a myriad of lies and untruths. If he wants to play for the SE he will say nothing because unless he want to face off with NFF and loose his place. He will keep QUITE and not in the public domain contradict the nonsense the NFF are putting out.

With regards to your request for a receipt ask Abba Kyari to produce a receipt for the thousands of $ he got from hushpuffi. And while your at it ask Ibori for a receipt for the $16 Million bribe given to the EFCC which is still in the Central Bank.

Uzoho is taller than Maduka.... Alampasu is the tallest SE player I've ever seen this era

zuchyblink:
Football is not like that,na man to man thing. Most times what makes the difference is your tact. We under rate teams too much. Nigerian fans have superiority complex. You vs Okocha it is Emotion meets reality

yinkeys:

Different competition level

chrisooblog:
Bring receipt you come dey type official memo.

TheGoodJoe:


Reality is that we need to keep growing as a team. With a mindset that we need to play ugly to win is a recipe to slide down in quality.

We need to keep improving ourselves by playing to the best of our capabilities. Negative football will not lead us to greater heights that we can achieve.

The Legendary Okocha is wrong here.

charlesemeka85:
hmmm our problem is superiority mentality which makes many to believe that even if we are facing the best in the world today we should beat them silly

A legend that hv seen it all in world football made a statement not based on emotions and sentiment but reality and facts and here you are disputing that by believing that we ought to spank Ghana silly next month

I pray and hope it doesn’t end in tears for us
