safarigirl: My point is simple. We have been disgraced several times before international tournaments. During the last world cup, the story of our unpaid bonuses was on CNN? One of my colleagues here, asked me about the African country that had bonus issues during the world cup? The shame was that it was Nigeria. This one too, will be resolved but let us not pretend like it has not happened several times before. I agree that the Minister at the moment has no clue and that is an indictment on the government but there is no government that has not had similar issues. 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: Your news was completely false, i just caught a repeat of Africa Sports On, on supersports. Do u know that Pinnick and Dalung were with the super falcons upon landing? Do u know that paracetamol had a banquet for the team upon landing in Nigeria and it was attended by Dalung and Pinnick? All talk about chartered flight is false i saw with my own eyes Pinnick carrying his own luggage walking with the team at the airport, so there goes ur they left them in Cameroon arguement. Be on the look out they will air it again this weekend. |

They were with the team upon landing in Nigeria NOT with the team after the trophy presentation till departure from Cameroun. That's my point. So pls don't twist things to favor your beloved Dalung. The players made their complaints because they had a hard-time making it home from cameroun. They had to sleep at the airport before departure for Nigeria. Abeg tell me Dalung slept with them too.... You're trying too hard to defend that man. The truth cannot hide brova. And yes they were hosted and given about 50,000 or so each by a sponsor who hosted them in lagos. BUT WAS ALL WELL?? NOOOO... The players played along and decided they will make their stand when they are settled in their hotel. Being hosted by a sponsor is nothing. It hasn't settled what the ladies want. Their pay! Biko don't bring me back to this issue... Dalung is the biggest mistake in the history of Nigerian sports. A man who is two-faced and cannot hold his tongue or better still cannot find a wise way to communicate his words. Pity...*smh* BascoVanVeli: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:If u knew all this then why didn't u say so before? U r making things up as u go my brother, u are the only one twisting things to favour himself. How can u agree they landed together but yet u are making up a story about them being stuck at the airport before take off. If Dalung just ran along and left how do they land at the same time? Are u saying the girls caught up in the air? I am not defending Dalung but i am against using false stories and dubious understanding of his words to bash him. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 11:32pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
Did you read my reply at all?? I never said they landed in the same flight... I never said they travelled together. Dalung and co had the chartered flight. The Falcons slept a night at the airport in yaounde before departure. Also, I said they (the super falcons team) were received at the airport. Dalung didn't travel with the team. Period! @bolded.... Na so... Something you've been doing since morning. Make I hear word joor. Looll l Dalung's words are his doom. Understanding him is very simple. He's careless and unreasonable in thinking and with words. It's a pity he's sports minister really. P.S: I know these details and many more because I followed almost every update of the Falcons from various news sites like Africanfootball.com, allnigeriasoccer, Owngoalnigeria, theguardian, thepunch.. Etc... I didn't like what I saw and only posted the ones I could on the falcons thread coz I couldn't stand the nonsense brewing anymore. Some of these stories are now deep into those sites' archives. So if only you had keenly followed the matter like I did, you won't be here telling me what I say is "fake". BascoVanVeli: 1 Like |

Arsenal Loanee Kelechi Nwakali Scores His First Professional Goal Nigeria U20 international Kelechi Nwakali scored the first professional goal of his career as MVV Maastricht defeated De Graafschap 2-0 in the Dutch Eerste Divisie on Friday night. Thomas Verheijdt converted a penalty in the 31st minute to make it 1-0 in favour of the home team, before Nwakali ensured the three points were safe with his maiden goal for MVV in the third minute of stoppage time. Nwakali has started the last seven matches contested by Ron Elsen’s side in the league, and bagged an assist against Fortuna Sittard on November 18. The Flying Eagles skipper penned a five-year contract with Arsenal in August, before he was farmed out on loan to MVV Maastricht after failing to secure a work permit. After 18 rounds in the Dutch second-tier, MVV occupy the third position with 36 points garnered, two less than VVV Venlo who lead the way.

Liverpool Star Matip Refuses To Play For Cameroon Ahead Of WCQ Against Nigeria Liverpool defender Joel Matip has refused to return to the Cameroonian national tam ahead of the African Cup of Nations and 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria. Cameroon coach Hugo Broos had contacted the Reds star to change his decision not to play for the Indomitable Lions but he decided against it, opting to remain with Liverpool during the African Cup of Nations. German-born Matip has not defended the colours of Cameroon since 2015 after criticizing the Cameroonian Federation and he was expelled from the team. The 25-year-old has twenty seven international caps for the Indomitable Lions and has scored one goal. Cameroon will face Zimbabwe in an international friendly at Omnisports Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium in Yaoundé on January 10. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=21352 1 Like |

'I'M TREATED LIKE A KING!' - IWOBI LOVING NIGERIA FAN ADORATION The Arsenal youngster explains how Super Eagles fans are much louder than Premier League supporters and describes the crazy scenes on his debut Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi says he's treated "like a king" in Nigeria having pledged his international future to the country. Iwobi, 20, grew up in England after moving to the country from Lagos, Nigeria, when he was four years old. Even though he played for England's Under-16s, Under-17s and Under-18s, Iwobi swapped his allegiance to the Super Eagles in 2015 and has gone on to make seven appearances so far. Iwobi was shocked by his reception when he arrived to play for Nigeria and says supporters in the African country are more likely to ask for football boots and money, rather than autographs. "Everyone appreciates you [in Nigeria], you’re almost like a king!" he told the Guardian . "When I arrived at the airport I thought, I’ll just have my earphones in, but everyone was like ‘Iwobi! Iwobi!’ Oh gosh. Hi guys! "I didn’t know what to expect. It was just mad. I always go with Kelechi Iheanacho. When we go we get escorted. Because I’m not used to the Nigerian culture as much as they are, they do help me with it. "I can’t really speak the language that well. They help me with the fans. The fans are very different there. They don’t ask me for autographs, they ask for boots, money." Iwobi described the crazy scenes on his Nigeria debut and suggested fans in the country of his birth are much noisier within grounds than their Premier League counterparts. “At my debut we played in a stadium that holds 30,000 and there was 60,000 – I don’t understand how. People were standing on the floodlights, on the scoreboard," he added. "I was thinking, ‘What? This isn’t even safe!’ "But people there will do anything to watch the match. Sometimes in a Premier League game the fans are a bit quiet but in Nigeria you just hear trumpets, everything. The atmosphere is so different compared to England.” Iwobi, who's scored one goal and assisted three in 2016-17, is competing for a place in Arsene Wenger's starting XI to face Stoke City on Saturday. He won't take part in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations as Nigeria failed to qualify for the tournament.

Rohr’s best Eagles coach in last 15 years— Kojo A former boss of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Kojo Williams insists that Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr is a class above other coaches, who have handled the Super Eagles in the last 15 years. Gernot-Rohr Speaking to Saturday Vanguard Sports, Kojo, who believes Eagles are looking good to qualify for the next FIFA World Cup in Russia, wants the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to keep Rohr for as long as possible to enable the team imbibe the new coaching culture that has gotten the team soaring again. Eagles are the surprise pacesetters of the proverbial group of death, comprising three former AFCON winners, Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia, having won all two of their matches to scoop maximum six points, four more than their closest rivals, Cameroon, who they play next when the the qualification campaign resumes in August 2017. An ardent critic of the Eagles before now, Kojo said he has been impressed with the passing game, fitness level and tactical display of the current squad under the direction of Franco- German coach, Rohr. Speaking for the first time since Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Algeria, rated as one of the form teams in Africa, Kojo attributed the improvement in the Eagles to Rohr, who he dubbed as knowledgeable, intelligent and tactically sound. According to Kojo, “I see improvement in this team and it is down to the coach. He has clearly shown that he knows what he is doing with the team. He knows what he wants better than anyone of those coaches I have seen with the team in the last 15 years. He is better than all of them and that is the truth”. Advancing reasons for his view, Kojo said, “considering where our football was before he was signed, the team have improved in their passing game, they look fitter and purposeful with the ball. They are quite good and the results are there to see. “Algeria are a technically and tactically good team, with talented players but the tactics of Rohr were so good that we contained them. We would have scored more had we created more intensity when attacking, an area that he must work on. “He is barely about four months on the job, so I don’t expect a complete side overnight but the improvements I have seen basically show that the former coaches, local and foreign had no business managing our team. He is better than all of them. “It is not as if he has the best players in the world but he knows how to use them to achieve his aim. He is tactically sound and I am impressed with what he has done within a short time. “We are loving the team again. But they have to work harder, but from what he has done in the last few months, it shows that he is working hard on them. He is an intelligent coach. All that we can just hope is that he gets to stay with us for more years, so that his work can truly reflect in this team and our football will be better for it”, added Kojo.
