Mickael2: I don't get you I have watched over 70% of Chelsea's match this season in fact part of the reason why fabregas often does not get start is because of matic defensive qualities matic has not played anything this season forget the goal he scored the last time...against Sutton ndidi will score 5 of that being that Chelsea create a lot of chances... I tell you ndidi can offer more upfront and as well cover up side by side with kante... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mickael2: I have not said education is not good but it should not become a tool to stop a child from playing ball. A child who can not do well in school (note we have high school drop outs in America and England) but can play ball well is in a better position than a kid without something else to hold on to. If a child does not meet up in school, one way or the other, there are kids with vocational skills who have made something out of their lives. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: Which kind of talk is this? When should they learn how to manage their time, when they are old men. Boss I am a young man and I can still relate to teenagers. U don't always go against the grain. I remember u making these same type of fuss about the 3-4-3 and months later even ur club has used it. U don't always have to be right, in fact we can't always be right. |

Icon4s: Answer the question, what makes u special? Are u saying Okocha couldn't have achieved what u achieved even if he tried? School is all about focus, anyone who puts in the work will make it. If u want them to continue being olodos then u are just trying to keep them under u. This is what the colonials did in order to hold us back, we can't turn and do it on ourselves. We need to use football to educate the masses and bring Nigeria out of intellectual poverty. |

Okiki is looking for a club, icon4s Fit-again Afolabi Okiki resurfaces in Dubai Former Sunshine Stars striker Afolabi Okiki has resurfaced in Dubai with SCORENigeria gathering that he is completing his rehabilitation there after undergoing a knee surgery. Sources close to the big striker further informed SCORENigeria the player has been to Turkey apparently in search of a club. He is also working with a new agent after Marcelo Houseman first took him to Argentina. Okiki was one of the leading scorers in the NPFL last season with Sunshine Stars before he moved out to Argentina. He will later try to join top Malay club Kelatan FA, but the move was aborted due to a knee injury he was nursing. He will later return to Lagos quietly and then his knee was later operated in Dubai. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/05/06/fit-again-afolabi-okiki-resurfaces-in-dubai/ |

Mickael2: This is where the problem is. You think paper certificates are the only channels to success in life. Besides, even if one at the age of 40 wants to obtain O/Level Certificates u do not need to attend secondary school. There is an exam called GCE naaaa. There is even GCE WAEC and GCE NECO now. There is no age limit for education my brother. The more atrocious act is to deny that boy that chance to become a professional footballer because he cannot pass his academic tests. 4 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: You asked me if I finished secondary school. I tell you I no even attend primary school. No be answer be that? And What makes me special is I am who I am. Talking about Okocha I never came across him when I used to play football. He didn't play in Lagos. Amuneke was my senior in the game but Taribo and I played for the same U12 team in Ajegunle under coach Ibe. At Navy town. My Dad practically dragged me out of football and set me on the academic path. I had to concentrate on my studies and that my football talent died. One of my friends that later went to play for Jigawa Golden stars by name Ify Onuora told me I was better than Tijani Babangida. Ify IMO too was better than Tijani Babagida. Taribo also confirmed this. Nigeria lost a football talent in me. Taribo, Okocha and Babangida went on to be part of the 1993 U20. Now back to Okocha. I can tell you that he could not have been able to achieve what I have achieved academically if he had combined it with football. Secondary school education is basic but tertiary education? Combined with professional football? Bros u have to chose one. 3 Likes |

BascoVanVeli:some are not slow learners, they are just NOT INTERESTED in learning. Kpomkwem. Reality is that NOT EVERYONE will embrace formal education, all this go to school talk is honestly boring. No be everybody wan go school. I attended a public secondary school and let me tell you that I knew guys who would never pick up a book, but give them a ball and watch the magic happen. They passed fine and good, but na other people brain dem use Passing exams also does not mean someone is LEARNING, believe it or not, many of these boys will find shady means to pass and these academies could take them in courtesy of falsely gotten good grades. Is that helping anybody? Getting a formal education does not and will never equate to learning. Learning can only be done where there is an actual interest. So, while this method may have worked abroad, you need to realise that what works for America may not work for Nigeria 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Icon4s: My Uncle used to play football too. He was really good and was playing with Sunday Oliseh (in his early days) and co around Festac axis. My Dad (his elder brother) did not like it and stopped him from playing to focus on his education. You know how it was in those days. Perhaps, he could have become a superstar. 1 Like |

Icon4s:another point I wanted to make. I have seen so many talents die out because of this cursed formal educatiom of a thing that just sucks out everything that makes one human. Formal education turns you to a robot, restricted only to whatever books tell you, it rarely allows for flexibility. You cannot serve two masters at the same time, either football suffers or academics suffer. Even the America that makes players combine the two, most of those guys graduate with extremely average results. Nothing spectacular, and even to get those, they have to stretch themselves thin. Many of them drop out of college once they get snapped up by professional clubs. Honestly, formal education is overrated. Talent will get you success and greater sense of happiness and fulfillment over something in a book. Some people just have talent with books, hence their success with it...such people are rarely ever good at playing any sport to be honest. Why don't we also make athletics a mandatory requirement for book smart people, we'll see if they excel 3 Likes |

tbaba1234: Yes. Many parents/guardians stopped their boys from playing football. There were these two other boys that played for a local club in my area then called Hungary Lions by names Duru and Atine. Emma Amuneke was in that team. These two boys play pass Amuneke. Who amongst us here grew up in Ajegunle, Orile, Amukoko and environs in the 1980s you'll know those boys. They suffered similar fate as I did: Parental influence. Not to ridicule him but Emma Amuneke no sabi book so his parents just allow am focus for ball. You could not have forced someone like Emma to read book. You just dey waste your time. 1 Like |
