ISAAC SUCCESS GIVES BACK TO HIS COMMUNITY TEAM



Benin City fans were yesterday treated to scintillating football at the BJ Foundation academy ‘End of Year’ match, as former and current BJ FC players locked horns.

The match, which kicked off in the early morning at the Arinze Primary School playing field, ended 2-1 in favour of the ex-BJ players.

Isaac Success of FC Granada, Spain (who chose to play for the current BJ team) won a free kick midway into the first half just outside the edge of the BJ box and rose up to fire home a brilliant free kick to put BJ ahead.

After the game, awards were presented to players of the current BJ team who had distinguished themselves in 2014. The awards were presented and sonsored by two former Under-17 players, Isaac Success and Dele Alampasu.

Isaac Success later hosted fans, coaches and friends to a sumptuous lunch at his residence in the Dumez area of Benin City.

joseph1013:
thegoodjoe, this is Isaac Success doing charity. I hope you understand what you talk about what you criticize these players unfairly next time. These players sacrifice a lot and continue to sacrifice

joseph1013:



You cannot say he is not ready for the challenges of the Super Eagles when you cannot show that you can work without pay yourself. Stop encouraging corruption and incompetence.

joseph1013:


Is this suppose to be how you support what the NFF is doing? Players should pay for their flights because others are doing a lot of charity, and NFF can keep siphoning their money?

Wait...who told you Nigerian players don't do charity? Have you seen what Mikel, Musa, Ighalo, Success etc do to help the poor neighbourhood they come from and the less privileged? This is a new low from you.

Certitude:

I go with oga GoodJoe here. If the story is true, then success is not ready to face the challenges of the super eagles. No one is saying the NFF is right but we know how it has always been and it won't stop anytime soon. If success isn't able to stand this, what other antics of the NFF will he be able to withstand. Unpaid match bonus? Flying Economy? Being stranded?... Let's start with those who can cope first.
As to working without pay. I can't, depending on what is obtainable. Since I can't, then I am not ready for the challenges of the Job.

TheGoodJoe:


Did you post that article for me or for yourself? I already know players do charity ad sacrifice. The question is, do you? Your the one who came here talking work must receive pay.

If the news is true that Success refused to pay his bills to fly to camp, then he is not ready for the challenges Super Eagles players face.

TheGoodJoe:


I think this is another statement that shows proves my point, rather than disprove it.

I said, Super Eagles players make sacrifices to meet the challenges. So telling me players do make sacrifices proves my point.

We have a big corruption issue in the NFF. It was there during Westerhof time. Super Eagles make sacrifices to succeed. That is not supporting the NFF. That is determination to succeed.

joseph1013:


There is work and there is charity. Stop obfuscating issues. If like you, the NFF thinks the Super Eagles should be a charity affair, they should tell the world so that everyone can know what's up? You cannot hide behind charity to justify why players should not be paid.

Success does charity. That does not mean he should not be paid for his flight.

TheGoodJoe:

joseph1013:


And this right here is the problem. You lot think nothing can stop the NFF and this is what we will continue to have so players should just take everything the NFF throws at them. What a mentality! I'm not surprised you support him.

What do you think will happen if all the players refuse to come until the FA pays their monies being owed? You think Siasia was dishonest when he said the FA intentionally refused to pay his players their bonuses, and that he is not ready to work with them again?

You want the players to continue the suffering and smiling pattern? Na wa

TheGoodJoe:


The Corrupt officials do not want the progress of Nigerian football. That is why people like Siasia sacrificed a lot. From their careers as footballers to their time as coaches.

If we allow the Corrupt ones, they will gladly watch our football rot. Look at where we were under Westerhof until now. Look at how the NFF watched our junior teams get eliminated from the qualifiers. They do not care.

It is up to the players to sacrifice to make something of their careers.

TheGoodJoe:


Charity is a form of sacrifice. That is why I pointed at Charity when you made it look as if all work must give financial gain. I did not call the Super Eagles charity or condoned corruption. I wonder where you drew that from.

We have a challenge. Massive corruption in the NFF and FIFA made fighting corruption in the NFF close to impossible. FIFA will suspend young Nigerian players from representing their countries to protect the thieves in the Glass house.

That is not my fault.

The players sacrifice to keep the team going despite the corruption. They will not sit down and allow Nigerian football suffer. Playing in tournaments boost their careers and names.

So the players sacrifice, go through challenges to keep the Super Eagles alive and challenging for trophies.

If the news is true and all players refused to fly to camp, we would talk of ban and not preparation for the tough clash.

joseph1013:


It is the same Siasia you are talking about who says he understands if any player does not want to be treated shabbily. Do you think he does not know what he is talking about? So instead of criticizing Success, why don't you leave the young man alone and concentrate on NFF. It is unfair to keep telling players to make sacrifices as if sacrifices means being cheated of the fruits of their labour.

TheGoodJoe:
That is why the Japanese Billionaire rewarded the footballers financially. Before our Olympics team arrived Brazil, they were already heroes. They sacrificed a lot to get there.

He recognized these were heroes.

joseph1013:


So let me ask you: If we get banned because the players refuse to fly as a result of the NFF not paying their tickets, will you blame the players?

TheGoodJoe:


I am not criticising Success. I said, he is not ready for the challenges. Siasia understands the challenge, faced it and conquered many times. If he tells stories of his battle with NFF for the 2005 WYC, we will marvel.

If Success is not ready, then he can focus on Watford. My heart stays with those who did not object to fly and arrived early for the training. No matter the challenges the Super Eagles face, they want to win.

TheGoodJoe:


I will not blame the players. However, I respect players who will prevent such catastrophe by sacrificing for the team.

joseph1013:


So stop saying Success is refusing to sacrifice. If your employer refuses to pay you your salary over and over again, asking for what is yours and refusing to do his work is not lack of sacrifice. It is fighting for what is rightly yours.

TheSuperNerd:
....... Fighting for what is rightly yours... Yes... But to the detriment of achieving Glory?? To the detriment of him beginning his legend in the Green-and-white??

Like I said... It's the Nigerian f**ls federation that should be the focus here. Not Success. He's not to blame at all... Not everyone can cope with this nonsense.

BUT THEN.... WE MUST LEARN TO PICK OUR BATTLES AND WHEN TO ACTUALY FIGHT THEM SO THAT WE DO NOT LOSE OUT ON OUR DESTINIES.... Success' international career is now under threat. He's right to demand his right but he should have been wiser and mastered the law of right timing.

AND YESSS... I WISH NOT FOR THE NFF TO BE LIKE THIS FOREVER.... GOOD CHANGE JUST HAS TO COME AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL COME. BUT FOR NOW, COPE WE MUST..... For the greater glory that lies ahead. The players must learn to look beyond the NFF's state of nonsense and focus on their own destinies in the Green-and-white... It's their names and lives... And careers on the line when they are out on the field of play NOT THE silly NFF.

joseph1013:

Certitude:

The players need the world cup more that the administrators whose only concern is the paper. With the immunity against government interferences granted to this NFF by FIFA, how do we stop this corruption now? Do they boycott matches and stay back in their various clubs because the NFF refuses to pay? Others will happily grap the opportunity.

joseph1013:


[b]First, the news is a rumour and I was sad at how quickly I saw people tore into the young man without even asking how true the story is. It was not until I wrote of my reservation of the accusation that those antagonistic to him started using the clause "If it is true" in their comments. It shows some are nursing hatred for the man beforehand.

Second, Success should not be blamed AT ALL. If anyone has anything to say, let it all be directed to the NFF. It is this attitude of asking players to 'sacrifice' that has held us back for so long. How far would we have gone in the Olympics if instead of asking Siasia to sacrifice, we had put fire on the clueless Pinnick? Look at the World Cup, with the little support Keshi got, look what he did. What would have happened if instead of looking for his faults, we had taken swipe at the Federation.

I for one, will actively support it if all players refuse to fly until their monies are paid. I know some people here will blame them and call them unpatriotic while leaving the old-for-nothing men at the NFF alone. That's why we are where we are, not just in our football but in all areas of our national life. We accept a few lording it over the rest, and exalt mediocrity.

I repeat, sacrifice is not telling someone that is being cheated to accept being cheated. By doing that, you ACTIVELY encourage corruption on the part of the cheat.[/b]

joseph1013:


And who told you they cannot get the World Cup and much more by boycotting the matches thereby forcing the administrators to do the right things? In fact, just five key players is what it takes for a revolution to happen in the NFF.

Do you play Chess?

Man City rival

The Arsenal midfielder joins Manchester
City striker Kelechi Iheanacho for a selfie.





Alex Iwobi was all smiles with Manchester
City striker Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of
Nigeria’s 3-0 win against a local team ahead
of their next World Cup qualifier against
Zambia.

The Arsenal midfielder has been in excellent form for Arsene Wenger’s side in recent weeks and he scooped the man of the match award for his performance in a 3-0 win against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium last month.


The 20-year-old has made three assists in five
Premier League games so far and the Gunners
reside in third place in the table behind
Iheanacho’s City and north London rivals
Tottenham Hotspur.


The Nigerian striker has scored two goals and has made three assists in five Premier League starts despite being behind Argentina international, Sergio Aguero in the pecking order at The Etihad.

And Iheanacho appeared to be in good form with Iwobi as the Premier League pair posed for a selfie with another Nigerian team-mate ahead of their 3-0 win in a friendly ahead of their trip to Zambia on Sunday night.




Iwobi posted the above photo and wrote on his
Instagram page:

“Matchday Selfie Against The Local Side Today
