Chuba Akpom and Middlesbrough fell 1-0 at home to Coventry to lose out on a ticket to Wembley.

Coventry and Luton Town will battle in the EFL/Skybet Championship Playoff final for a promotion ticket to the EPL.

What a story. Sad for Akpom. Sad for Coach Michael Carrick.

Akpom has done well enough to get a good premier league team or any good team from anybody the top five leagues to sign him up.

That said, against Coventry in the playoff finals, I will be rooting for Luton because we have a potential centre back option - Osho in their ranks.

Yeah. 3 Anglo-Nigerians actually. Elijah Adebayo and Gabriel Osho are regulars while Fred Onyedinma is a benchwarmer.


Fred Onyedinma is not a benchwarmer , although I haven't talked about Fred Onyedinma for some three years plus or more.

Your prejudice has made you become befuddled and duplicitous with your denigration of Fred Onyedinma who is way better than Midfield maestro Nwakali. Who will soon be relegated to another level of oblivion.

Fred Onyedinma had been injured for long periods this season and had only just started coming back . But he is a game changer and crucial player for Luton.

Gabriel Osho has played 28 games and Fred Onyedinma 18 , but only been benched 5 times this season and was unavailable to play for 27 games due to injury. That's not a benchwarmer.

I'm not interested in the other two since they are neither midfielders nor Centre backs. I only have my eyes on the centre back, Gabby Osho, and he is the reason I want the team to succeed

This city team is as good as peps Barca with the added benefit of being more physical and durable

So city wins but Messi will be an X factor

You're mixing things up. That something could happen doesn't mean it did. I'll give you an example of one that happened.

Glory Alozie once represented Nigeria and won the African championship and commonwealth games gold medal for Nigeria. She also won Silver for Nigeria at the Olympics and World Athletics Championship. She however switched to Spain in 2001 and went ahead to win goals for them at the European championships. Such things exist, but with Tobi's case I expressed doubt that it happened.

The reason is simple, Tobi's record prior to that Diamond league in 2021 or so wasn't seller. Of course she was winning the African and Commonwealth games but US athletes had way better time. She wasn't podium worthy at the World championship and the Olympics. Her best time I think was 12.68 or so. It was when she hit the 12.42 at the diamond's league that things started looking great. She even almost quit cause of not making the podium.

And for the WNBA, you're making my point for me. The WNBA has a maximum of 144 roster spots. Just this year, they've cut numerous no 1 draft picks, that's how competitive it is. So if you don't make that cut you obviously wouldn't even remotely considered for team USA. It's why I'm hoping Arike switches to Nigeria cause they have 10 people who can take a spot and they'll still be elite. But Nigeria is obviously not her first choice, it doesn't mean there aren't persons who right from the start will chose Nigeria. They are just very few.
Beyond that Tobi 's case was different, from her secondary school days in Ogun State she was a prodigy the state government and federal government played a key role in her sport scholarship to Texas. At that level it makes the thought about a nationality switch complicated. And that should be how the sport ministry should capture young chaps who excel in sports from secondary school, they should support them and grant them scholarships to the USA to facilitate their development. Many Jamaicans and Caribbean athletes are on scholarship in the USA too.

I spoke a bit more about Tobi in a later post, but your assertion doesn't quite capture it.

The government didn't discover Tobi, the story of her discovery is public knowledge. Government's role primarily is the platform provided for her to compete at the National Sports festival and the All African games. It was clips of those events her coach saw on YouTube and brought her to UTEP. Government had nothing to do with it.

It wasn't until recently when the current Minister of Sports launched the "Adopt an Athlete" initiative that the Ogun state governor adopted Tobi. She was already out of the University then and had gone pro. The closest to government support the Athletes receive is training grants which most have to even hustle for and very few get. Outside that there's little or no governmental support for athletes. It's why you'll see Tobi do a run around when asked in interviews about government support.

*Yawns* πŸ₯±πŸ₯±πŸ₯±

Lying and twisting as usual to save the face of his under average Joes.

Fred has played 17 Championship games. Started only 6. Subbed in 11 times and been totally benched 6 times without coming on at all.



Came from the bench in the first leg of the Semis playoff and got BENCHED for the 2nd leg.

That's a total of 18 games with 13 from the bench.

In the FA Cup, he came from the bench in 1 out of 2 games.

A grand total of 20 games with 14 from the bench

Fred is not a starter. He is either coming from the bench or not coming on at all. He is a Benchwarmer, injury or not. E.O.D.

Truth is, Nigeria is just too poor to adequately finance and sponsor athletes. It cost between $50k- $200k to train an athlete for the Olympics. It's why the UK athlete is primarily funded by the National Lottery. Nigeria can also go in that direction for our sports. I saw a figure yesterday on twitter that Nigerians spend 1.3 Billion naira daily on betting. A fraction of that money should be taxed and devoted solely to sports and youth development. It will solve to a large extent the funding problem with our sports.

Another thing we should do is primarily discovering talents and positioning them for scholarships in the US to get trained. The US obviously have the best training facilities and like you rightly mentioned, even Jamaica takes advantage of this. We are beginning to do that lately anyway. Majority of our top athletes now are currently in a US university and compete yearly in the NCAA. All our Top sprinters (male and female) are in US universities. We just need to dig out potentials, the US will develop them for us while we seek to get out house in order.

All this is misrepresentation and disinformation it's simply not true......

....And you are saying he is number 5 in the Segunda division among Midfielders. He gets benched in his own club regularly.


Kelechi Nwakali - 35 games played. 29 starts. Came off the bench 6 times. Benched without sub-in ONCE.

Fred Onyedinma - 20 games played. 6 starts. Came off the bench 14 times. Benched without sub-in SIX TIMES.

Messi will be the lone diff. If he catches those City defenders alone, he will dribble them and still have time and space to think of dribbling Ederson and end up on the touchline and pass to an onrushing Villa or Pedro to tap in.


Even if twas the MSN, it would still be Messi making the difference between both teams.


I also doubt the Barca backline can cause Haaland issues. Pique can't stop Haaland. Na foul las las.
