Abeg, I will prefer we call up Obasi ahead of the other two, and Ogu too, if we won't invite Success I don't care, with Obasi we would have five good wingers so it would be better In fact, and then invite Adi to make it 4 strikers

Yeah, u remember masters sports with Paul Bassey, Chris Eseka and co. 1993-1994 best football moments of my life.

Icon4s:


During Atlanta '96 i was on semester break from the University

Anyways, the young shall grow.

Talking abt Obasi, i dnt think he can flow with the rythm of Iwobi-Mikel-Iheanacho. Moses may try but Obasi? I doubt. I would prefer we pick Adi instead.

Larry Echiele of Brila sport promoted most of these names.

I recall things like *in larry's voice* "The Attacker called Utaka!", "Dodooomayanaaa!", "The pastor called Taribo West!". "The weapon of mass destruction, obagooaal!". Bimbo Adeola aslo spoke like Larry.

Hmmm Glory days of Nigerian football. When i would wait to listen to bournvita sports special on OGBC2, with Larry Echiejile, 7:45 - 8:00am, before going for lectures. Then he had not started brila radio.

Plsss contact Yara Yara for your "super plank" wants... He's also into "brain-resetting" planks sales. A section of my labs have produced planks that send signals to the dentata hippocampi, prefrontal cortex, the limbic system and a few other brain areas...... To reset moods and memories and make "right decision-making" easy.....

I call it, "the Plank-neourolyser"




We also have plank-deneurolysers...

[b][size=14pt]Corruption killing sports in Nigeria, Amokachi alleges [/size]

•Says Coaches demand N250,000 from young players



By Chris Ochayi ABUJA—

Ex-International, Daniel Omokachi, yesterday, opened a can of worms in the nation’s sporting arena, alleging that Nigerian youths cough out as much as N250,000 each to get into the U-17 team in Nigeria.

Amokachi spoke when he joined forces with coalition of Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, operating under the aegis of National Support Groups for Good Governance, NASUGG, protesting in support of war against corruption in Abuja.

Amokachi who hailed the Department of State Services, DSS, over the arrest of alleged corrupt judges, in Abuja, described the sport arena as den of corruption. Amokachi, while addressing Senators Barnabas Gemade and Ovie Omo-Agege, when the group stormed the gate of the National Assembly, said corruption is endemic in sports.

According to him, “My name is Daniel Amokachi. I have said I will support the movement, because in my field which is sports, corruption is endemic.

“Corruption has invaded sports so deeply that even in FIFA headquarters in Zurich, we saw how the world stood up and said “Enough is enough!”

We saw how the president, Sepp Blatter was not spared. He was removed from office because integrity matters when it comes to the constitution.

“President Buhari is one who doesn’t take nonsense when it comes to fighting corruption. I concur with everything he says.

“For instance, in Nigerian football today, the youths, when invited to the national team, a coach will ask them to bring N250,000 each to get into the U-17 team when he already has the talent. If a person has talent, he should be allowed to showcase what he has in the interest of the nation.”

“A small team cannot win the Nigerian league because all the people in Nigerian football are corrupt. If a referee is bribed and a match is won here, the match cannot be won there.

“The judiciary is not above the law. Mr. President is on a good path’’, he said.

In his reaction, Senator Barnabas Gemade, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Housing, corroborated Amokachi’s position on the rot in the sports sector.

He said, “I’m very particular about your comment on football because I’m one of those who love football. And I started a club called BCC Lion, which you know.

“And I have witnessed all that is happening in the sports arena. And I know that corruption is killing it just as it is killing all other aspect of our national life. We must fight corruption’’, Gemade assured.

Hmmm..... Hameed Adio. I know this name...

I still met him when I started following the beautiful game.

He always wore a cap, a caftan-like gown, wore glasses, and had this nice smile... Hope I am right? *scratched head*

He sometimes anchored one sports show on NTA every saturday that aired from 3pm to 6pm or so... *memories jumping into my mind*

Referee Papa Gassama

you are right that is mr adio

What an innovative research to make the work of pundits and analysts easier. These NFF men tire me. I knew they must show their talents when it concerned interfering with the coach.
