Yes Okoye is getting good reviews in seria A but NOT BETTER than Nwabali….Nwabali came in and nailed it at once for eagles but Okoye despite the packaging failed to convince us for once in eagles.I watched Okoye last season and watching him this season he is not in anyway better than Nwabali,yes Nwabali is in South Africa league.

Since Ivory coast put zaha in his place are they not a better team ? They now have better winger (Adingra) than zaha

Una carry Aboki go put as NFF chairman and now we're about to lose George Ilenikhena to France, as shaky as Pinnick was, one thing I'll always miss about him was how he was proactive about approaching our dual nationals during his stint. George Ilenikhena was easily the one player we could have gotten without the least worry and hassle with split commitments and nationality switch process wahala. I mean what would it have cost NFF to actually invite the guy against Libya and give him a cameo appearance at the 80th minute off the bench to officially cap-tie him to Nigeria? Fucking low IQ idiots, but if it's to invite league 2 benchwarmers with ties to political godfathers to the national team, they won't disappoint with that one.

Eguavoen should beat Libya home and away most likely, but that is merely papering over the cracks cause this NFF have shown themselves out as utterly clueless and short-sighted. I feel bad for the likes of Arokodare, Chuba Akpom, Dessers
and Akor Adams who are all having great seasons at their clubs but don't have the option of switching to another country that is actually serious.


We don’t need George Ilenikhena cus he can’t bench Osimhen and Boniface

As for Akor,Tolu,Akpom and others they re not needed too when we have experienced heads like Iheanacho and Awoniyi

Experience is key to the foundation of every national team. We ought to be clamouring for the recall of Musa,Ighalo and Efe Ambrose instead of relying on greenhorns

As at 2017 was Eze better than the aforementioned players. Or Mikel should have been dropped for Eze 🙄

As at now, is George Ilenikhena that people are advocating for better than the forwards we have presently? I don't think so.. maybe Iheanacho and Awoniyi..
But why are we advocating for him? Is it not for the future?

Mind you, in 2017, barely anyone paid attention to Eze.... Me included... It was after the 2018 world cup that it was clear we needed midfield reinforcement... Mikel retired in 2019, yet Rohr didn't seem it fit to call up Eze

Oga Charles easy nau,since yesterday you just dey para and you even para to the extent you forgot it was legendary icon4s…..getting George is good but am seeing him in France national team.The moment he signed for Monaco I asked Chriskels is the boy playing for us?

Coaches normally worked with players they needed,sincerely I wasn’t expecting Iheanacho and Awoniyi to make it.

Boniface hasn’t delivered for eagles despite the ratings no goal in 8 matches .Awoniyi too hasn’t been convincing enough,2 goals in 9 matches,only Iheanacho has the good goal ratio and with absence of Osimhen,better for a coach to list Iheanacho…..just check it out listing Boniface,Akpom,Akor or Tolu,honestly it will take a very bravery coach to do that in a competitive match,yes it’s Libya.

The team list has been drawn and players are in camp,let’s see what will happens against Libya

Good point from you though regarding the call ups

Rohr na tozo. His team needed creativity but he kept on stockpiling carpenters in our midfield leaving out the few creative ones. This werey kept on calling Uche Agbo and Mikel Agu just to have them on the bench instead of giving a chance to a younger and more creative Eze. At a point, Eze and Etebo were in the championship and Eze was clearly outperforming Etebo, yet Etebo was still selected ahead of him. Rohr na chaff

Wow! One of the Current Nigerian U20 strikers. I understand he had a knock in training but will be ready for the Wafu b championship after their final training camp in Ikenne is done.

Charles Agada also shone at the Viareggio Cup for Mavlon FC where he bagged 7 goals. And was part of the last U17 side under Ugbade. He wore #11.

Fine prospect with a bulldozing approach.

Rohr never cared about creativity.. this was a man who proffered Shehu to Aina for the simple reason that Shehu suited his defensive style of play better than Aina... I knew the man had lost it when he benched Aina who was one of our best player all tournament for Jamilu Collins who just returned from injury in that 2019 AFCON semi final game against Algeria...
Beats me how some folks here are still attached to him..
There was one squad list he released where only 3 midfielders were included and Ebuehi was listed as a midfielder

Pls,if we want to get maximum points from Libya in both games, we must start either Simon or Ejuke.Most preferably Ejuke as an AMR/RSS just behind Boniface and not on the wings.

Chukwueze should come from the bench, as he has not been starting games for his club.

I expect Egu to start with his 2 man midfield and most likely Ndidi would start. Eguavoen likes Ndidi for many reasons, physicality and his build. The person to pair Ndidi is what I don't know. I don't think he fancies Iwobi in my opinion, based on the nation's cup AE coached and the last game against Rwanda. But I would love Iwobi to start alongside Ndidi and either of Onyeka/Onyedika in the midfield (however, I doubt this). Hopefully we get the needed results in this fixture and see what the future holds.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles B have been drawn against Ghana in the qualifiers for the African Nations Championship, CHAN.

The winner over two legs in December will qualify for the tournament meant for players in the African leagues, hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
