safarigirl: The thing is some peeps here are very confident that Kelechi Iheanacho would become a 'world beater'. They call it "The Nacho Project". They have become so committed to believing in that project that they would always comment and make defense for anything that has to do with Iheanacho. They have made it seem as if Iheanacho is the only promising talent we have in Nigeria. Well, ![]() modified: I wonder if some1 like TheGoodJoe would still be a City fan if "Nacho" moves to another club. Just reminds me of my Love for Kanu Nwankwo. I could not bare not supporting Kanu in any game he played. So when he went to Arsenal I became an Arsenal fan. He left Arsenal to Westbrom but common I cannot be a Westbrom fan na. So I stayed put with Arsenal till date. ![]() 1 Like |

Chrismario: Because our system appreciates forwards more than defenders. In a typical match situation, no matter how good the defenders turn out to be, the strikers mostly take the praise for the end results. Very few analysts keenly pick on quality displays of defenders. The defenders only get noticed when their blunders lead to defeat. It is always the Strikers, Goalkeepers, Midfielders before defenders. 1 Like |

Considering the comments of Icons, I wonder if Kelechi was not at City would he be given all this attention. You don't have to be great to look good at city with the number of quality players around you. A real test is to play in a team with lesser talent, now this could work positively or negatively. I watched how Benteke at Villa was the focal point and there whole game plan was to get the ball to Benteke. To a lesser extent the same thing happened to Berahino before he fell out of favour with Pulis at West Bromwich. This allowed these two strikers to excel and develop thier game to become excellent players. What about our players who play in less glamorous teams in the premiership who may not be given consideration. I do belive that some leagues are considerably superior to others, and as such your ability to score for instance in the Austrian, Ukrainian and or Belgian league may not easily transfer to the premiership comparatively speaking. |

Looking at Etebo and I have for some time, I would like to see him in the premiership as an attacking right side midfielder possibly as a winger. Preferred team for him would be AFC Bournemouth for him to excel. |

Icon4s: I was a big City fan long before Iheanacho and I will remain a big fan if he lives for another club. So my love for City was long and way bigger than Iheanacho. Also, I have seen some promising talents fail, most recently, Giovanni Dos Santos was a genuine talent. However, he did not reach the pinnacle. Another was John Mikel Obi who was one of the best young talents I ever watched. He did not reach the height I expected. That does not mean we should not believe in Nacho reaching the top height of the game, giving him immense ability. It is a project and I believe the dream will yield fruits. |

komekn: Iheanacho showed promising talents from his early teens when he raked awards and City begun watching him. From the U17 to his early days in the City academy, he stood out. So his brilliant form was before his City time. In a lesser team, Nacho will stand out because of his Superior ability. |

Siasia laments he's jobless because he failed to qualify for 2017 AFCON ![]() Siasia Coach Samson Siasia has lamented that he currently unemployed after he failed in a rescue mission to qualify Nigeria to next year’s AFCON. Siasia was appointed in caretaker capacity to lead the Super Eagles in crucial AFCON qualifiers against Egypt in March after Sunday Oliseh had quit the previous month. Egypt forced a 1-1 draw in Kaduna before they won 1-0 in Alexandria to go on to qualify for the 2017 AFCON in Gabon. “I do not have job now because I did not qualify Nigeria to the AFCON,” regretted Siasia. “It has shown that anytime I have taken a point midway, I do not do well. “When I have started a job, I have always finished well.” Siasia was linked with a lucrative offer in Qatar after he led Nigeria to third place at the Rio Olympics in Brazil. However, nothing has since been heard about that deal. His contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as Olympic coach ended after the summer games in Rio. He has previously handled the Nigeria U20s, the Flying Eagles. http://africanfootball.com/news/671677/Siasia-laments-hes-jobless-because-he-failed-to-qualify-for-2017-AFCON |

Sunderland 0-1 Chelsea Victor Anichebe missed out on this tie with a suspected knock for Sunderland, who also had Nigerian wonderkid Josh Maja on the bench for the entire duration of the game, meanwhile Victor Moses was once again among the top performers for Chelsea, even though he picked up a booking and got substituted in time added on.

Widely tipped as the replacement for the suspended Sergio Kun Aguero, he failed to live up to expectations in their 2-4 loss to Leicester City and watched from the bench as goals from Pablo Zabaleta and David Silva game them a 2-0 win. For Watford Odion Ighalo was reinstated into the starting line up by coach Walter Mazzari but fired blanks, including a clear chance to draw his side level while Isacc Success returned back to playing coming on after an hour, a sign of the fact that he has shaken off the injury that has kept him away for two months. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/14/eagles-watch-iheanacho-benched-victor-moses-put-up-man-of-the-match-performance-ejaria-wins-with-liverpool-ighalo-success-returns-for-watford/ |

BELGIUM CUP – Ndidi Stars, Strongest Nigerian Player Esiti, Simon & Rabiu Ibrahim Taste Defeat ![]() Bar the club of Joseph Akpala, Nigerian players playing in the Belgium Cup suffered defeats with their respective teams in the various games played yesterday. Akpala was an unused substitute as KV Oostende send Gent packing from the Cup with a 1-0 win despite the presence of Anderson Esiti widely regarded as the strongest Nigerian player at the moment. Esiti nicknamed “The Tank” by the press in Belgium for his physical attributes was on for the entire duration of the game, while his fellow Nigerians at the club were introduced as substitutes at different intervals. Moses Simon was introduced in the 74th minute while Rabiu Ibrahim came on in the 81st minute, but both of them fail to inspire a comeback for Gent. Leicester City bound Wilfred Ndidi once again showed why he is so highly rated with a workaholic performance in the midfield for his team Genk although they fell 1-3 after extra time to Charleroi. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/15/belgium-cup-ndidi-stars-strongest-nigerian-player-esiti-simon-rabiu-ibrahim-taste-defeat/ |

We Want Ebuehi But We Can’t Force Him To Play For Nigeria – NFF ![]() The Nigeria Football Federation says although they are keen on having Dutch-Nigerian Tyroone Ebuehi play for Nigeria instead of the Netherlands, but they can’t guarantee if he will play for Nigeria or not. Ebuehi turned down an invitation to join the Super Eagles during preparation for their last World Cup 2018 qualifiers, insisting on focusing on his club career at least for now. However manager of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr confirmed that the 20 year old who plays for ADO Den Haag in Holland will play for Nigeria, when next he is called up. His confidence appears not to be on same wavelength with that of the NFF, who are skeptical about the chances of the full back swapping Holland for Nigeria. “It’s Ebuehi who will decide the country he wants to play for,” Spokesman for the NFF Ademola Olajire said. “According to FIFA regulation, no FA can force any player to play for a particular country. “Ebuehi will decide the country he wants to play for and I believe he will play for Nigeria.” http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/15/we-want-ebuehi-but-we-cant-force-him-to-play-for-nigeria-nff/ |

REVEALED – The Five Nigerian Players Gernot Rohr Adviced To Switch Clubs In January ![]() Owngoalnigeria.com understand that coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr told five current players of the Super Eagles to secure move away from their current teams in the January transfer window. Rohr reportedly told captain of the team John Obi Mikel to secure at least a temporary move away from Stamford Bridge, where he has been frozen out of the first team setup by coach Antonio Conte. The coach also advised William Troost-Ekong who is back at Belgian side Gent after a loan spell in Norway with FK Haugesund, to move to another team if he is not sure of getting regular run of games with Gent. Same advice was given to Musa Muhammed, who lost his spot in the team after the dead rubber AFCON 2017 qualifiers tie due to his inactivity at club level, where he has only played a combined total of 20 minutes this season for Istanbul Basaksehir. Even goalkepper Dele Alampasu was adviced by the manager to move to another club, preferably higher than his present Portuguese third division loan side Cesarense, while Godwin Obaje was also advised by the gaffer to engineer a move for the betterment of his career after emerging as top scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/15/revealed-the-five-nigerian-players-gernot-rohr-adviced-to-switch-clubs-in-january/ 1 Like |

Moving To China Is Not A Bad Move For Mikel – Rohr ![]() The proposed transfer of Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel to China is not a bad move according to coach of the senior Nigeria national team Gernot Rohr. Mikel has been frozen out of the first team set up at Chelsea by manager Antonio Conte, in what is his 11th season at the club. A record which makes him the second longest serving player in the team behind captain John Terry. Despite links with several European teams including some English Premier League team, Mikel is closing in on a move to China as exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com few months ago. ” Mikel to China? Not a bad move, he need to play games and you can’t fault the level of the Chinese League any more. You have players moving from Europe to China at every transfer window, so it’s not the worst of all places to play football”, Rohr told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” It’s unfortunate what has happened to him at Chelsea, but we all know his quality and as a former club coach, I understand some of the intrigues involved in managing players at that level”. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/15/moving-to-china-is-not-a-bad-move-for-mikel-rohr/ |

Wilfred Ndidi Should Pair Mikel In Super Eagles Midfield Not Onazi – View From Belgium ![]() As Nigeria gear up for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers game against Algeria in Uyo, a game that has been termed the sternest test yet for manager Gernot Rohr. The coach has been urged to play Wilfred Ndidi in the middle alongside Mikel Obi. Ndidi was played from the right full back position in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over Zambia in Ndola, but Belgium based African Football expert Willy Musonda believes the 20 year old is under utilised. ” I saw the game between Nigeria and Zambia and I think Ndidi didn’t play up to 50 % of his abilities. In Belgium he is about the best defensive midfielder in the country” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. “His passing range and his success with tackles have been one of the strength on which Genk have been building from since last season. He has added goals to his game as well, something you hardly see in defence minded players. ” It’s a no brainer, for the amount of space he covers against Algeria, I expect the Nigerian coach to play him from the middle, he could be the link between defence and attack. ” He doesn’t commit foul around the edge of the box or in dangerous position and his recovery rate is second to none. Rohr should be brave enough to drop Eddy Onazi and play Wilfred Ndidi in the middle”. *First published on the 4th of November. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/12/15/wilfred-ndidi-should-pair-mikel-in-super-eagles-midfield-not-onazi-view-from-belgium/ 1 Like |

Five things to know about soon-to-be Leicester star Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi By Colin Udoh www.nairaland.com/attachments/4612588_indidi_jpeg2e77dd649565828e95816f1a361be027 Wilfred Ndidi looks set to join Premier League champions Leicester City in January. Early this week, Genk midfielder Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi passed a medical at Leicester City and is now set to complete a five-year deal initially worth £15 million. The deal could rise to as high as £19m, depending on add-ons. But who is this talented 19-year-old who has enjoyed a breakout season in Belgium with Genk? Here are five things you need to know about the future Foxes star: 1. Nurtured by World Cup winner Ndidi started out playing organised street football in the barracks of Lagos under the tutelage of Nigeria Under-17 World Cup winning captain Nduka Ugbade. He showed so much promise and potential that Ugbade, then the assistant coach of the Nigerian U17 team, took him along to the national camp. He eventually failed to make the cut. 2. Played at Copa Coca Cola under Victor Ikpeba His first major tournament came under another World Cup star. Former Nigeria and Monaco striker Victor Ikpeba led a team of youngsters to the Copa Coca Cola tournament in South Africa in 2010-11, and Ndidi was one of the standout players. "I was really impressed by him," Ikpeba told ESPN FC. "Once you see him play, you just knew he would go places." Such was the impression he left with the former Super Eagle that Ikpeba took him to Nath Boy's, the club owned and run by Yemi Idowu. 3. Serial winner Ndidi has enjoyed the feeling of winning many times in his short career. Playing for MFM FC, a church side in Lagos, his Ikeja beat the Headquarters team in the final, with Ndidi standing head and shoulders above the rest. With Nath Boys, Ndidi helped the club win the Lagos Junior League, a competition for players in secondary school, three times in a row. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4612589_indidi2_jpeg0a829bc4dc78673220ce83f9b76d6e40 Ndidi has agreed to a five-year contract and has been earmarked as a long-term replacement for N'Golo Kante. 4. Can play multiple positions This is no secret to those who know him in Nigeria, but Ndidi is a very versatile player who, in addition to his midfield roles, can play anywhere across the back. With Nigeria struggling for a reliable right-back in their opening World Cup qualifier against Zambia, Ndidi was drafted to fill the role. One match later, he was a late substitute for Chelsea's John Mikel Obi in midfield. "He is a great player to have because you know he can play in multiple positions," Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr raved. 5. No red cards For a midfield player with a high rate of interceptions and tackles, Ndidi has yet to pick up a red card in his playing career so far. It is a statistic he is very proud of, and he remains keen to preserve it, even in the high intensity league that is England. "He is a remarkably clean player who plays more with intelligence than with strength," Ikpeba said. "That's why you hardly see him get into trouble." Leicester will certainly be hoping he can translate that to their midfield http://www.espnfc.com.ng/club/leicester-city/375/blog/post/3020168/five-things-to-know-about-soon-to-be-leicester-city-star-wilfred-onyinye-ndidi 1 Like |

Cote d’Ivoire scored first in the first quarter, Nigeria equalized few minutes after. The Ivorian team scored again in the second quarter, while Victor Tale rallied to level scores for Nigeria towards the last minute of the second quarter. As usual, Cote d’Ivoire scored again to restore their lead, but Abu Azeez responded with a powerful strike to put Nigeria on level terms. It was a moment of relief as Nigeria for the first time in the game confirmed supremacy by scoring their fourth goal. The celebration was short-lived as Cote d’Ivoire came from behind to score the equalizer as the game ended 4-4 at regulation time. But soon after, the game entered into the penalty shoot-out and Cote d’Ivoire scored their first kick. Nigeria couldn’t make use of the advantage, losing their own first penalty kick. The penalty shoot-out ended 3-1 in favour of the Ivorians and the Sand Eagles fans were left disappointed after the team lost the opportunity to advance to the next stage and would not be among countries representing Africa at the 2017 FIFA Beach World Cup in Seychelles.

Icon4s:Man U is in a big dilemma of selection right now, even Mou himself is still confused. it's high time we refuse all these deals that doesn't benefit our players career. I prefer he watches Vardy and Mahrez and get 20-25 mind play, than be another Pogba or Mame Diouf cos it's a big club. For now, I'm just waiting for the Nigerian that would break into Real Madrid.... Leic aren't bad for his switch to English football. |
