TheGoodJoe:As funny as it sounds. Scouting players for the National team is directly their job while youth development is not directly theirs. You can't tell them who or where to scout as long as the person in question is Nigerian. So as far as legality is concerned. They're doing nothing wrong. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

JohnBullMySon: They should go back to the way we used to handle our U17. Fund a comprehensive scouting and camping process. Give the lads exposure with games and continue the cycle. Nothing stops them from supporting a team B/team C friendly games to give local players exposure. Even a camping program for Academy players and organzing friendlies for them. These are more creative ways to scout players for the National team. Than hopping ont he plane to beg those who do not send us. |

COOL10: Ashleigh Plumptre made Nigeria her first choice... Nigeria educated their parents. Nigeria gave their parents jobs which their parents used to save up enough money to be able to migrate legally and seek permanent residency... Nigeria gave their parents a network of other Nigerians like them in the diaspora to relate with.. Nigeria gave their parents a stable life so that when they migrate they can also have a stable life there and avoid police troubles.. Nigeria ensured their parents were mentally stable and healthy to teach right from wrong.. How many Foreign Born Nigerian players parents call them out the same way Ainsley Maitland-Niles mother was calling him out in the media How many Foreign Born Nigerian players have you ever heard that they have been accused of rape or beating a woman How many Foreign Born Nigerian players have you ever seen their brother or relative recording them beating a cat that's due to their Nigerian parents upbringing.. 6 Likes |

JohnBullMySon: the sports ministry is a ministry for all sports not just football so football development is not business... their duty is to provide funds to the NFF and other federations to develop their sports... Unfortunately , most federations presidents are protected by their international federations so they can't be sacked or else Nigeria gets banned... In the end, its all politics.. |

JohnBullMySon: Are you trying to say that it's the clubs that are supposed to make the league profitable? Cus it sound like it.. Is it not the job of the LMC to source for sponsorships for the league? Most of these clubs are owned by the state government who pay treat the players like they are civil servants.. If there's no sponsorship and tv right, how can clubs make profit? |

Danielnino00: Nigeria is a basketball playing nation... In Universities and stadiums, people play basketball in their free time, even Lawn Tennis and Table Tennis.. Nigeria's major problem is creating and maintaining a league structure annually and the reward system... the reward system is important because it also affects our Football with players complaining about bonuses not been paid and some Nigerian officials who think and believe Nigerian athletes shouldn't be rewarded at all same reason Nigerian officials took phones and other gifts that Japan rewarded all athletes at the Olympics.. the reward system will be different in countries. If a University hosts a football competition and says every person who can make their Department team even those on the bench will get ₦1,000,000 everyone in the department will go for trials.. |

TheGoodJoe:U17 is the job of NFF. But how many players are trained in the U17? The U17 players are meant to be scouted from grassroot centres operated by clubs. Even if the NFF decides to train so many people, how many will they be able to train? The focus is on developing a good U17 squad and not on training as much people as possible. Without grassroot football you may still not get it right at under 17 level unless you carry overage players. Lastly, U17 is still not enough. They need to further develop to become good players and U17 doesn't mean you'll get it right at the National team. Most players in the English setup were trained by clubs in their locality and not by the English FA. They were only scouted by the FA. |

PurpleHouse: When you are turned down the first time, it could mean she's playing hard to get.. You can try again another time and if she says no, it most definitely means she isn't interested.. Why force? What if she later say yes to you out of pity? don't you think you will be making yourself look miserable??

JohnBullMySon: I did not say U17 is enough. I said we should tap the potential we gained from it. It is a process that has raised quality players for decades. If done right, we produce lots of quality players. I did not say it is the solution. There is still lots to do but we should not stop gaining from it. Next time and in coming times, make the process as comprehensive as it used to be. FINITO. |

Danielnino00:Where money comes from is broadcasting rights. I said two things. First we are not watching the league enough to make it profitable for broadcasters to strike deals with LMC. Secondly, clubs are not getting deals because of the first reason. The LMC has over tried in sourcing for tv partnerships. But the broadcasters keep pulling out due to this issue. Yet we blame them. |

TheGoodJoe: Our doors have never been closed to foreign borns. They're only required to work extra hard in the team especially when a local coach is in charge. That is a story for another day. My problem is the entitlement mentality. It reminds me of the same mentality most Nigerian women have even when they have very little to offer . Obviously youth development should be our priority but it isn't. Whose fault is that? The same Nigerians who feel entitled to the fruits of trees they never sowed. |

REMEMBERING WHY KESHI PICKED THE PHONE AND CALLED BALOGUN Dec 20, 2013 FROM Hycode: How about this guy Leon Balogun Fortuna Dusseldorf of Germany defender Leon Balogun has exclusively revealed to supersport.com his deep desire is to play for Nigeria I will walk to Spain, then swim across the ocean, catch a canoe just to honour the call. It will be the pinnacle of my career to represent the country of my father's birth especially because my father was always proud to be a Nigerian" Balogun told supersport.com Balogun was in the Dusseldorf side that were relegated from the Bundesliga last season where he started half of the matches.” "It was not a good feeling but Bundesliga 2 is as strong as many first divisions in other European countries and currently we are improving and hopefully should be able to bounce back." Back to his international ambitions. Asked on what he makes of those who say that he is hoping reap where he had not sown with regards to a world cup place. "Nobody called me. Nobody came to watch me play during the qualifiers. If they had, I repeat I would have jumped at it and would have contributed my quota to the course" One of the most fascinating things about Balogun is his fluency in English considering that he has never visited nor lives in an English living country. "I taught myself mostly because I have always liked to speak the language. I listened to music, I watched films and TV programmes and then added to the classes in school" The former Weder Bremen defender believes that central defence is his best position. "I have been playing most of my matches now as a right back for Dusseldorf but central defence is where I have originally always liked. However, maybe because of my speed especially on my offensive and my crossing have made my coach prefer playing me at right back" Balogun is a rare breed of footballers in his humility and even the car he drives "My parents taught me to be content with what I have and where I am. They grounded me properly so that material things are not so important" He does not have arrogance about him and explains why he never got capped by German youth teams "maybe I was not good enough at the time. I will never say that when I was growing up through the ranks that my game would have stood out enough then. Am not hung up on that at all." Many would have expected him to have moved away from Dusseldorf after the relegation. He sees it a bit different. "I play more now at this club. More than I did at Bremen so I will rather be playing football regularly at my age instead of sitting on the bench at a big club side." Final word to Keshi? "I will make the life of every forward that comes up against me miserable throughout the match. I will guarantee 100% commitment to the cause and I am firm believer in team work. Offensively and physically am powerful enough. I have the speed for the position. I will be honoured to be given just a trial." https://www.nairaland.com/1546396/list-uncapped-in-form-players-keshi/4#20349508 cc: chrisooblog, charlesemeka85 3 Likes

codemaniacs: I'm talking about us not being a basketball playing nation in the sense that it isn't a major sport here.. Basketball is a sport that requires special infrastructure to play.. Sports like football,table tennis, volleyball and athletics are pretty much easy to play because they don't require much infrastructure to use.. But that can't be said of basketball,hence it isn't a sport that's readily accessible anywhere... There's a basketball court at the school where I'm currently serving and I go there to play every Saturday morning. it's worn out and old looking,and I dare say the only one available within this LGA as a whole..But a lot of guys turn up there every Saturday to play..I've seen one who can even make it to the NBA if they find the means ..But where's the means? We don't prioritise the sport, hence we don't have the pool of talent to select from...Hence, we turn to America... I do agree with the other points you raised though... Sports is one of the few sector that has the power to lift the youths of this country out of their misery and reduce crime! it's unfortunate that our leaders aren't seeing it as such... 1 Like |

JohnBullMySon: We aren't watching the league from where please? In the stadium? Have you seen Basco's video? a lot of clubs in the league can fill up at least half of their seats during games... If that's not enough to secure a TV sponsorship deal, then the problem is certainly bigger than what you think.. Before the season started, I read somewhere that the league was yet to strike a sponsorship deal because members of the LMC were demanding for a larger cut of the money... No be juju be that? |

Are you fvvcking kidding me right now? Who are you trying to deceive? Do we look like ignorant people here? We're talking about one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. We're so holy but we're number two in the world when it comes to paternity fraud. We're so respectful but people still have the mind to rape women in God's church. We're so caring but we kill cats on a daily basis because we think they're witches and wizards. We're so honest but every year we pay for runs when our children want to write exams. We love to criticize politicians but we keep quiet when a family member becomes one. See don't even get me started. I don't want to derail this thread. |

codemaniacs:Oga their duty is to develop grassroot sports generally and development of young people. Check their Act of establishment and definition of statutory powers and duties. If you don't know the role of your government ministries you'll keep on blaming the wrong people all the time. The ministry doesn't fund NFF. NFF is obligated by FIFA to be self reliant so as to avoid government control. But due to inability to meet that. The Federal government gives NFF something called Subventions or Intervention fund. NFF sole job is to support and regulate the national team as well as professional football in Nigeria. Go and read your legislative acts your senators and reps wrote and amended. They're not there just to collect salary and share bags of rice in your village. |

Danielnino00:By members I guess you mean the clubs. It is a joint ownership with NFF. Yes infact, they should have 90%. NPFL clubs are seriously underfunded. Their financial wellbeing is much more important than the NFF's pursuit of financial autonomy. At least NFF has access to federal funding and the National team often benefits from donations. NPFL clubs don't have that privilege and State governments who usually own those clubs are hardly doing anything. 1 Like |

Danielnino00: Every nation, every man, every animal, is more concerned about their self interest. If you cannot trigger that "self interest" to tally with you/where you're going/ or your ultimate aim, you cannot win people over. I never mentioned force. It is called toasting. Some people have flawed Impressions about others. It'll take the right words and enough time to finally get them to see the light. You, as the one seeking to win them, have a lot of job to do. It is not begging. It is negotiation. As for Eze or Olise. We need them. But we shouldn't be desperate or beg them. Especially Eze. We should do our part, so that when the time comes, they'll not say we didn't reach out to them persistently. |
