With osimehn as our top 9, we failed to qualify for the World Cup.

without Osimhen as our top 9, we exited AFCON at R16 failing to score a depleted Tunisian side who finished 3rd from their group with their stronger squad.

With ighalo as our top 9, we qualified easily for the World Cup. With Emenike, we won an ANC. The top 9 is open for anyone

Another interesting appointment is that of Nduka Ugbade. Strictly from a philosophical perspective. Over the years, there are things about him that made him look like a promising manager for the Super Eagles. I will share a few that caught me over the years.

We taught them the science of football...Nduka Ugbade
This is one quote from Nduka Ugbade that really thrilled me. It was short but says a lot about him. He believes there is a science behind tactical decisions and believed the 2013 U17 set gained from this knowledge.

Nduka Ugbade made me a toughie...Wilfred Ndidi
Nduka Ugbade was the academy coach that discovered and nurtured Wilfred Ndidi. He found him a smallish, slender-looking kid and horned him into a monster.

Ndidi is one of the toughest playing midfielders in Europe and he points at Nduka Ugbade being key to him developing that way.

Leicester City Have Not Seen The Best Of Iheanacho...Nduka Ugbade
“Those of us who know Iheanacho understand that he is not a fast player but a highly intelligent player, trust me, he will continue to improve and score goals if he gets regular playing opportunities.”
So deep were the words of Nduka Ugbade about Iheanacho. Pointing out that most managers do not know Iheanacho as some of them (Amunike, and Manu Garba) coached him to perform excellently in the U17 which attracted the eyes of Manchester City.

Nduka Ugbade hopes to work with Iheanacho and co. who he taught the science of the game, to consolidate what he started.
I also found this so deep and interesting. He believes he still has more to pass to the 2013 U17 winning squad which makes it impressive.

I hope Nduka Ugbade has sufficient time and support to work with this next u17 to develop a good number of quality players that will fly with the Super Eagles. I also hope he goes back to the process of thorough screening of players around the country.

Wishing him the best.

am happy with nduka's appointment but the problem here is that how did ladan bosso retained his position after failing with the last wuruwuru under 20 sqaud, and salisu Yusuf alone having 3 positions to him self while he isn't even the best local coach here in Nigeria not even in the Npfl well some of the committee members actually used style to let us know they where just there ceremonially the decisions where from the oga at the top and the rogues in the white house

TheGoodJoe:
I think I will call my departure from here a sabbatical and I think it was worth it. Personal apology to Stormtrooper11, you made valid point but us failing to pick the qualification ticket rocked me to my marrows. We have lost a lot but theri was something about this one. It was a ticket that looked easy to me for us to pick but it was clear case of sabotage.

I think it is something I will look past but still in shock from it.

This World Cup non qualification is very painful simply because we lost to an inferior team

Sunday Dare should let the Nff appoint whom they feel is good for the job, not telling them to go for this or that.

And when it backfire like AE own he will now come and blame Amaju lead Nff,


somebody should tell him to take time ooo
