I DID MENTION MIKEL AMONG ROHR'S FEW UNTOUCHABLES RIGHT NOW.... ....................................................................... Rohr Explains Why Mikel Will Keep On Playing For Nigeria Despite Lack Of Game Time At Chelsea Head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says captain of the Nigeria senior national team John Mikel Obi will keep on playing for Nigeria, despite his limited playing time for Chelsea. Mikel is yet to play a competitive game for Chelsea under new manager Antonio Conte, but in that same period of time. The 29 year old has played twice for Nigeria. He even refuted Conte’s claims that injury is why he isn’t playing for Chelsea, and went a step further by starring for Nigeria in their 2-1 win over Zambia in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers game. However Rohr who warned players of the team to sort out their club forms or forget playing for Nigeria, backtracked on his captain insisting he is an exception to his rule on club form. ” Mikel brings a lot of to the team. We have a very young team. He motivates them on the pitch, his work ethics is an inspiration to the young players in the team. Such players can’t be left out of a national team” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” As long he isn’t injured and trains regularly, am okay. For now he is one of the most important player in our team”.

HEIR TO MIKEL'S THRONE RISING STEADILY... ....................................................................... Super-Sub Arsenal Loanee Nwakali Inspires Loan Side To Victory In Holland On loan Arsenal midfielder Kelechi Nwakali came off the bench to help his loan side MVV Maastricht pick up a hard fought 2-1 win away to Jong FC Utrecht, despite playing with 10 men towards the end of the second division league game. The highly rated 18 year old, who joined Arsenal in the summer is on a season long loan deal to the Dutch second division side, as part of the Gunners plans for his development. However, since joining the Dutch side, he has been restricted to making cameo appearances as he settles down to life as a professional footballer, after his heroics at the last U-17 WYC where he led Nigeria to glory, and got voted as the Most Valuable player of the tournament. He made his impact felt the most, this time around coming on earlier than in previous games, as he replaced Ricardo Ippel in the 66th minute with scores at 1-0 in favour of his team. Nwakali started the move that lead to Patrick Nkoyi increasing the lead for Maastricht to 2-0, before slotting into a more defensive role after Steven Pereira was sent off with four minutes left to play. Dani van der Moot pulled a goal back for the home side on the dot of regulation time but Nwakali and the rest of his teammates hanged on to pick all three points.

Someone (can't recall who) on this thread already cited this but I wanna do so in full... ....................................................................... Liverpool Legend Praises Iwobi – “He Has Traits Hard To Find In English Kids” The rise of Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi at Arsenal in the last six months has won him praise from all quarters, with Liverpool legendary midfielder Dietmar Hamann, the latest to join the list. Iwobi has made himself a mainstay in the Arsenal line up at the age of just 20, a feat which is more remarkable following the dearth of players in England progressing from the youth ranks of teams to the main team. Hamann largely respected by fans of Liverpool, where he spent 8 years and played a pivotal role in their comeback UEFA Champions League win over AC Milan in 2005, praised Iwobi in a TV programme monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com. ” People don’t really know what he adds to the team of Arsenal, he is very calm, comfortable on the ball and plays without fear despite his young age. He has traits hard to find in English kids” He said during his preview of this weekend game between Arsenal and Middlesbrough in a Premier League TV show called Match Pack. ” He is very hard to keep out, he is quick when he wants to, and can play others in as well. One of the player opponent need keep an eye on in games against Arsenal is him”.

I read that Nedum Onuoha is interested in Nigeria (even though he does concede that the chances of a call-up might be over). He said he was only invited once (we know how that ended).. He talks about watching the boys at the Olympics. My man was holding out for that England invitation that never came.. Given our RB issues, should Nedum be called? He is playing regularly and he is very experienced.. What says the house? 2 Likes |

I read every comments on the last 4-5 pages that i was not part of. Some I laughed out loud and some i shook my head. Drama all the way. I remember my last post was trying to seperate the then pending war between TheSuperNerd and Forgiveness. But well..... No matter what we are all still friends. Each of us had been on different sides of an argument on several occassions. Infact some of us have never agreed on one issue. But that doesn't make us enemies. This is even a very friendly thread. Those of us that were part of KickoffNigeria and Kickoffghana would attest to that. Where other nationals would be calling u names like "drug lords", "evil doers", "super chickens", "most hated people in the world". Forgiveness and other guys here would attest to this. . God forbid that we lost a game to Ghana or South Africa then . O my God. Anyways, our major goal here is to contribute our quota for the benefit of our national teams. Solanke, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Success are all our boys. We dnt need to bring one down just to praise the other. I am of the opinion that Solanke should be invited and be groomed with our other young players. This will bring in more competition in the team. Our opponents will pee in their paints when they see our line ups. I have said it here before that most of u guys dnt know how far our comments here and suggestions go. I once told u that the chief Press officer of one of our recent youth teams in 2015 was frequenting this thread. He is a person i know from childhood. He told me. I also suspect one of our current SE coaches. I dnt know which bt it seems of recent some1 has been "listening". Note that the arguments are good bt when it assumes ethnic dimensions it becomes smelly. We are all one Nigeria. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:It is very annoying to see someone shouting ''facts and stats'' up and down only just to intimidate people while the same people start becoming biased to the same facts and stats he so claim to honour, especially when they do not favour his position. Page after page you see him exhibiting this same unusual behaviour. All I know is that your favourite players must not always be in the national team. All Nigerian foreign born footballers must not play for us. The NFF and the Coaches will always decide. Whether their decision favour us or not should not become a topic of discussion to spew trash here all the times. Sir forgivess makes it look as if some members of the forum are responsible for the absence of his more prefered choices. There is no page you will not see him doing the same thing. Why must we continue wasting so much energy to explain basic things to people all the time, thereby ignoring the most important things that bind us here? If you know any player that is doing well, bring him to the notice of the members of the threads concerned. Trying hard to make us look dark just to promote a player is dam bad. What notion are you trying to plant or promote in the minds of majority of people who follow our sense of discuss both home and abroad. What about those yet unborn, who may one day stumble over such writeups? 3 Likes |

Odubajo is out for six months yet again. Ebuehi is a young super potential like Musa Mohammed (who isn't seeing gametime at club level). It won't be so bad to call him (Nedum) up as he is vastly experienced but then what message do we send out to the others? **hold out for England for as long as you want, then when you're 30 or so, with no England call-up, turn to Nigeria??** #FoodForThought Well, as Oga Experience, Sir Icon4s pointed out, "If we can give Shola Ameobi a chance (after doing similar thing), why not give Nedum a chance also?" tbaba1234: |

Sir Justiz5, Good morning. Honestly, I understand your disappointment. Sir Forgiveness have been making a particular statement for a while now since the U-23 thread ABOUT EXPOSING CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO SPEAK WITH BIAS. I have ignored those words for a while but now I ask... Who are these people? He says he came online to "show the way" and "heal the broken-hearted" and "set the records straight with the anointing power of facts and stats" **just sounding philosophical but HE DOES SEE HIMSELF AS A CRUSADER ON OUR THREADS.... So who is the crusade against?** There are reasons why I associate him with the name "Troll" because it's clear he came on NL sports to launch a crusade. HE'S ALWAYS SAID, "I WAS SICK OF THE BIAS SO I REGISTERED ON NL AND CAME ONLINE AND ONE BY ONE I WILL EXPOSE THEM ALL" *smh* Facts and Stats indeed..... If only Man knew the depths of wisdom as regards "shouting stats and facts"..... Whoever kills with the sword shall be brought down by the sword too one day..... So whoever uses "facts and stats" as a weapon of choice should also know that the same weapon of facts and stats is available to all..... I rest my case........ BUT, *smiles*... I WON'T STAND BY AND WATCH "AN ELDER" ABUSE HIS "OLD AGE"...... Not ON NL SPORTS... I have to protect the passion and true enthusiasm that is attached to feeling Proud of our OWN. justiz5: 1 Like |

Some sins are unforgivable, this is one of them. No matter the dearth of RB in d SE now and how dire we need a proven RB, I would rather use a makeshift or call up young Tyronne and Ebuehi than turn to that sell out from Nkpa abi Ovim called Nedum.

Thank you so much Sir Chriskels.... This is why I ask, "What message do we send out?" Ignoring Nigeria and waiting on England for so long only to now Show sudden love for Nigeria because The England call never came?? Everyone here may think "saying no" to his invitation means we don't stand with the foreign-borns. *laughs* BUT I SAY A HUGE "NO" TO NEDUM ONUOHA. THE SUPER EAGLES IS NO DUMPING GROUND FOR ENGLAND REJECTS. WE REFUSE TO BECOME SUCH.... This is my own stand. Honestly, I feel we made a mistake calling up Shola ameobi after he did exactly what Nedum is trying to do. THIS IS A SPORTS FORUM AND WE MUST SAY IT AS IT IS....... Maybe una dey look Forgiveness..... Looolllllll Abegiiii ignore that Troll.... The Super Eagles is a super brand. An England reject, no matter how experienced, is not "truly" welcome in my books.

Hmmm.... Someone didn't like what Amokachi said..... ........................................................................ Ex- Nigeria U-17 Coach Fires Back At ” Sick” Amokachi- We Collected Bribe To Produce Iheanacho, Success & Osimhen? A national youth team coach of Nigeria has reacted angrily to statements credited to former Nigeria captain and coach Daniel Amokachi, that players of the Nigeria U-17 team are made to pay more before they are selected. Amokachi made the statement, in an interview three days ago, while speaking on corruption in Nigeria, in the wake of arrest of alleged corrupt court judges by the Department of State Services, (DSS). “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.” He said. However, one of the coaches who have been part of the last two set of Nigeria U-17, tha t have conquered the world, say Amokachi has no basis for making such allegations base on the success of the team and their players. ” He is obviously very sick to make such comment. I think he is looking for attention or he is envious of the fact that other coaches are contributing more to Nigeria football than he will ever do in his lifetime” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” In the last two years our U-17 teams have conquered the world, producing the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Isacc Success, Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Nwakali, Victor Osimhen and more. You can’t produce such highly rated players from a corrupt system. Amokachi is sick to have suggested that. ” The last two coaches of the U-17 Manu Garba and Emmanuel Amuneke have turned children of poor Nigerians into billionaires, owing to the success of our U-17 team. Ask Amokachi where children of poor men will get N250,000 to bribe coaches” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/22/ex-nigeria-u-17-coach-fires-back-at-sick-amokachi-we-collected-bribe-to-produce-iheanacho-success-osimhen/ 1 Like |

Oasis007: I am heart broken because you mistakenly mistook me 'a troll'. Really, I don't think we all agree on one thing because we are different but we can foster understanding after a long interactions. Before I recommend a player, I have always tried as much as possible to monitor his progress and ascertain that he is good enough for the National team. I don't just call names. You will be shocked that I was one the first person that hammered on playing regularly for your team before getting invitation into the Nigerian national team but if you see the way some people here went about it, you go fear. Apparently, it didn't favor some of their choice players hence the attack. One of them even claimed an established player in Portuguese, Spanish and French league is inferior to a bench warmer in Belgium Pro league. Another claimed that it is better for a player to be a bench warmer in a big Club as long as he trains with the best in the world. What an irony. The truth is, I am using their words and philosophy against them but I am surprised how they became furious to what they invented. I only pretended to repent from my philosophy to theirs but instead of commendation I am receiving condemnation. I believe in giving players to prove themselves afterall we have failed to qualify twice for the AFCON with some of these lots. False 9 no go work and I think Iheanacho should be used as second striker. We need full backs. 1 Like |

Last I checked.... Musa Yahaya was indeed promoted to train with the first team during the international break in september but he's still with Porto B sub-majorly as he just joined in the recent summer window. There are news feelers of his possible debut for the first team soon in the cup competitions perhaps but it's not certain. He's been doing good for the team (Porto B) and even scored in their 2-1 pre-season win over moirenense (I think?) before the season began. So summarily, he switches between training with Porto's first team and then training with Porto B. His rise at porto was so meteoric that he started training with the first team 3months after he arrived without playing an official game for porto B before the sept. International break. Specific Info on Yahaya is not so easy to come by but will always try to keep tabs on him as with many others. ChrisKels: 1 Like |
