Uhmmmm.... I believe centrally it is about making the next-next-next generation of Nigerian footballers more equipped for life after football.... our focus is on the kids of tomorrow to become better individuals as ex-internationals in the after-tomorrow.... For me, since I was growing up I was always in shock at how many of our ex-internationals live and try to survive Years after their retirement from the game. So the issue is not with our current footballers... it is for the kids who still have the chance to experience the best of both worlds. But ofcos... we know not all will become professional footballers and we wouldn't want those who won't make it as football stars (for whatever reason) to have nothing to hold onto as they grow up into adults.

Okay good. Your suggestion IF (Big if) it works in the long run does not still guarantee much. But I agree some footballers after their retirement will be better off through that system. I think what they really need is not jobs after retirement, but an entrepreneurship mindset which they should have even during their careers. But for those who fell by the way side. What will those who did not succeed in going professional fall back to? And how will their situation be different from our many graduates still looking for jobs? TheSuperNerd: |

Certitude: I am saying kids school should not finish secondary school? No. I am very much in support of every Nigeria citizens attaining secondary school education. Please, note that the age range for secondary school is between 11 - 17. It's expected that a good kid will catch the eyes at that age and they can't sign contract until they are 18 years. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 4:08pm On May 08, 2017 |
Yep.... the entrepreneurship mindset can be applied to even current soccer stars.... no need for schooling on that one. Those with eyes on the far future can be helped through good workshops, seminars or whatever to invest wisely with the income flowing in from football so as to have an empire to fall back on years after retirement.. C.Ronaldo, Zlatan, and a host of these guys understand this and are applying it already.... but we gotta enlighten our own current footballers about it. But that is on one hand.... the coach carter concept is about Kids who haven't started earning yet.... so entrepreneurship classes is easily included in the dynamic curriculum of their football-education journey.... Our focus in the CC concept is on the kids for tomorrow not on guys already playing the game at top levels. And let the results of the Concept applied be the judge of what level of guarantee we are talking about coz it has worked wonders to a strong degree at various places around the world...... and after all, All of Life is a risk..... but are we gonna fold our arms because there are no 100% guarantee or because risks are involved? Bottomline... go watch the movie but plss if you won't do it with an open heart and mind and keen observation..... then I pray thee.... just don't bother wasting your time.... ![]() Joebie: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:what are you on about? I mentioned UK because if any country has a stable enough educational system to implement that Coach Carter whatever, it is UK rather than Nigeria, yet they haven't..... Since you seem to hold westerners in high esteem, I mentioned the UK for you to know it may look good, but it is not necessarily feasible EVERYWHERE The fact that you think Coach Carter system is feasible in Nigeria currently just goes to show you are not aware of the realities in this country and you indeed exist in a parallel universe.

Well I think the system only attempts to address poor performance or provide better learning at the childhood stage, not necessarily solve illiteracy as it has to do with the Nigerian factor. I think Nigeria's problem with low literacy is poverty. Maybe I'm mixing up the argument. But I will wait to watch the movie. TheSuperNerd: |

Safari.... cool down. Looooooolllll... honestly nothing bad in saying you don't know the system. Only problem is you don't want to know or understand it.... what happened to being open-minded really? If this system worked on only white kids, I know the angle you will be coming from... but it worked superbly on black kids... and Nigerian kids are reputed for being very adaptable globally. So It is funny why you are so disgusted with a system that have been tried and tested and replicated in other forms across the world... Safari.... you need to really calm down and look at this....

Okay..... no Tammy Abraham for Fifa U-20 WC.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- England List Everton Lookman & Five Other Nigerians In Final Squad For U20 WYC ![]() The England U-20 team have listed six players eligible to represent Nigeria in their final squad for the U20 World Youth Championship which will be taken place in South Korea later in the month. Everton Ademola Lookman who was approached by Nigeria last month to switch allegiance, headline the Nigerians on the list which includes Liverpool duo of Ovie Ejaria and Sheyi Ojo. Ejaria trained with the Nigeria U17 team of 2013 but failed to make the squad for the World Cup proper, he broke into the first team at Liverpool this season after impressing coach Jurgen Klopp during pre season. Tottenham Hotspur Josh Onomah was also included while Chelsea teen duo of Dominic Solanke and Fikayo Tomori complete the list of Nigerians on the list released earlier today. **Michael James Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/05/08/england-list-everton-lookman-five-other-nigerians-in-final-squad-for-u20-wyc/ 1 Like |

Joebie: Ejaria as much as I like him, still has a long way to go. With or without the England call up, I can't see him staking claim for a spot in Eagles bench now, same with Kc Nwakali. Same would have been said of Tammy despite his exploits with Bristol city this past season, but we ain't that much stocked at the front as we are at the middle. I would rather Rohr gave a all up to Azu Okey than Ejaria. Onyedinma is good and ambitious too. He's been so neglected by England yet he keeps fighting for reckoning. |

But uhmmm.... some of these young lads that made it sef.... there are six of them right.... Possibly three of them will eventually turn out for us or even more than three.... who knows?

NEWCASTLE SET TO RIVAL EUROPEAN HEAVYWEIGHTS IN A 5 CLUB BATTLE FOR MIDFIELDER ![]() According to a report by Own Goal Nigeria, Newcastle United scouts were in attendance to watch Oghenekaro Etebo in action over the weekend. Newcastle scouts watched on as Oghenekaro Etebo’s Feirense beat Pacos de Ferreira 1-0 in the Portuguese top division. Newcastle were running the rule over box to box midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo, according to this report, ahead of a potential summer move. It is no secret that Benitez wants to add another central midfielder to his ranks to bolster his options alongside Jonjo Shelvey. Etebo has emerged as a top target but the Magpies face competition from some of Europe’s finest clubs for his signature. Premier League side Leicester City are also keen on the 21-year-old with Champions League semi-finalists Monaco, Turkish giants Fenerbahce and La Liga heavyweights Sevilla weighing up a move as well. The Nigerian international already has 8 senior caps and can also play as an attacking midfielder.

TheSuperNerd: Hahaha Nerd, I would say England just made it easy for us. U guys have thrown enough enticing punches already. I was tempted to join the argument but everybody really was making sense, so I decided to add to my knowledge my reading through every ink from the battle of the gladiators. That said, I stand with sir Icon4s "don't deny a kid with obviously talent the opportunity to play the game just because he cudnt pass a certain subject" but in truth, that kid needs atleast that secondary school so as to av options should he eventually fail with his football career. But already this is the trend in Nigeria, these days our youth players are plucked from secondary schools except maybe in the north... But it is really hard combining tertiary education with soccer in Nigeria but sec school and soccer really can work. To me, it ends there. 1 Like |

This is a very good news for Etebo and for Nigeria Super Eagles, if it happens. Ralph Benitez has what it takes to bring the best out of Etebo and prepare him to explode at the World Cup. There is no doubt in my mind that Etebo would be a success in the EPL. He's one of the hardest working players I know. And he's a utility player as well. Let hope the move materializes....fingers crossed! O pari TheSuperNerd: |

I think he's moving to a bigger club in the summer. He was just unlucky with injury during the last Olympics or else he and Ndidi would've been the revelations of this winter transfer window. Any team that snap him up would be happy with that transaction. And it's funny you'd say this because I made exactly the same remarks regarding the Barca scout team. In fact, I told 'em that they should fire their scout team and hire me because I can definitely do a better job than what they had done over the past few years. O pari Humility017: |
