Playing for Super Eagles, a dream come true By Osita Duru Ado Den Haag defender, Tyronne Ebuehi, has said his decision to play for Nigeria and not Holland will boost his promising career. Right back Ebuehi has won two caps in friendlies against Corsica and Togo for his father’s native country and he is now in the frame to make his official debut against South Africa on Saturday in Uyo. He also had the option to play for Holland, where his mother hails from and where he was born. “The opportunity to play for Nigeria is a big step in my career. I am just 21 years old, I have just started,” he said in an interview with the official website of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). “For sure, 100%, it was the best step to take. “It’s something new being an international, something every player dreams of. “I’m just blessed and really happy to be a part of the team.” He further revealed that Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong, who could also have opted for Holland ahead of Nigeria, helped him to decide on his international career. “William (Troost-Ekong) convinced me to come and play for Nigeria, he told me a lot of positives about the country and the team,” he revealed. The young defender also expressed confidence that the Eagles will get off to a winning start in the qualifying tournament for AFCON 2019 against South Africa on Saturday in Uyo. “We need to start strong and so we should win the game, We have all it takes to win the game against a good South Africa team. I have a good feeling about it. http://www.thebreakingtimes.com/playing-for-super-eagles-a-dream-come-true/ 1 Like |

safarigirl:Safarigirl this is not a man to woman relationship na. When it comes to things like this (particularly something that has been so integral to a man's life) men are so loyal to a point you might not understand. How many times has Messi hung his boot and returned despite the avowals not to, I think even Zidane came out of retirement to lead France to the finals of Germany 2006. Anything is possible. If the guy was wasted and if we had solid back ups for Ikeme no one would call for Enyeama. But look at us now, look at the goalkeeping position. |

Nigeria coach steps up the mind games and describes Bafana as "the best" in their Afcon group www.nairaland.com/attachments/5466344_bafanabafana_jpeg86bdfe3f1069a911df4d3d77e3cd6fce By Nick Said Nigeria have been talking up the quality of South Africa ahead of their African Nations Cup qualifier in Uyo on Saturday‚ with German coach Gernot Rohr describing Bafana Bafana as “the best team in the group”. Rohr has been with the team since August last year and despite having already led the side in qualifiers against Algeria and Zambia‚ and a friendly with Senegal in March‚ says this will be his toughest test yet. “They are the strongest opponent I will face so far as [Super] Eagles coach because they have not lost a match over a long time‚” Rohr told reporters. “I am also aware that they stopped Nigeria from getting to the Afcon in 2015‚ and that this match is very important to Nigeria. “The game will be difficult. It will be a big challenge to beat the South Africans. "It will be difficult with the young players that we have. Our captain‚ [John] Obi Mikel and our first choice goalkeeper [Carl Ikeme] are out of the match [with injury]‚” he added. Aside from the valuable three points on offer in a bid to reach the 2019 Nations Cup in Cameroon‚ Rohr says they have a more personal reason for wanting to do well – to honour former coach Stephen Keshi‚ who passed away exactly a year ago today. "We will dedicate our win over South Africa to Keshi to mark the one year of his death. The boys will play this game with all their might to ensure we get a win in memory of the former coach of Super Eagles‚" Rohr said. "Keshi was a committed person as a player‚ I played against him in the French league while he was with Strasbourg. He was a good leader and good coach. We will play for him." Meanwhile‚ Turkey based midfielder Ogenyi Onazi says he will be spurred on by the memory of the 2-2 draw in Uyo in 2014 that ended his side’s chances of going to the Nations Cup finals in Equatorial Guinea the following year. “We remember that it was in this stadium that we missed the opportunity to play in Afcon 2015‚ when we drew with South Africa. It is still in our hearts‚ we have not forgotten it‚” the Trabzonspor star said. “Though it is not a grudge match‚ we are approaching it with all seriousness. We expect to win the game. It is not going to be a do-or-die affair‚ but we are here to make up for the past.” - TMG Digital/TMG Sport http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/sport/soccer/2017/06/07/nigeria-coach-steps-up-the-mind-games-and-describes-bafana-as-the-best-in-their-afcon-group 1 Like |

Nigerian-Born Winger Who Played On Same Team As Arsenal's Iwobi Wanted By Premier League side Watford Premier League side Watford are being linked with a move for Nigerian-born winger Fred Onyedinma, according to reports from England. Onyedinma will walk away from newly promoted Championship side Millwall as a free agent at the end of this month if he doesn't append his signature to the new deal that he has been offered. Apart from the interest from the Hornets, Hertfordshire Mercury says the 20-year-old is also on the radar of Queens Park Rangers, Brentford and Hull City. The highly-rated starlet has been on the books of Millwall since the age of 12, though he spent a portion of the 2014-2015 season on loan at Wycombe Wanderers. Onyedinma played on the same team, Blackheath district, as Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi before he was spotted by a Millwall scout.

Nigeria/South Africa: Ndidi - We Will Give All We Have Against South Africa Bafana Bafana (file photo). Leicester City forward Wilfred Ndidi, who played a crucial role in Nigeria's triumph against Togo on Thursday, has said the Super Eagles will give their all to come out victorious against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday. He will be among the squad to face South Africa in Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo on June 10. The Super Eagles will be hoping for a winning start in their quest to book a ticket for Cameroon 2019, after missing the last edition staged in Gabon. Speaking with Brila FM, Ndidi has revealed that he expects a good game on the 10th, as the players will give all they have. Ndidi also highlighted the match as must win, as he wants the team to do everything in order to emerge victorious. Kelechi Iheanacho alongside Arsenal young sensation Alex Iwobi, Kenneth Omeruo, Elderson Echiejile, Ogenyi Onazi, Simon Moses, Leon Balogun and Arsenal target Henry Onyekuru are all set to be in action. Zamalek defender Maroof Youssef was handed a surprise call-up with Dele Alampasu getting the nod owing to Carl Ikeme's injury. Nigeria will face Bafana Bafana of South Africa at Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday. http://allafrica.com/stories/201706070971.html 1 Like |

ChrisKels: Lots of impressive insights in your post. However, it seems Rohr considers Onazi an asset and if Rohr goes with Onazi then Ndidi has a big role to play in instilling discipline in that midfield. |

safarigirl: Ngwas aren't short, dark skinned and ugly as you have described. It is a very wrong misconception that I can't just swallow it down my throat or pretend not t, see it. Ngwas are the most reasonable and most hospitable set of people across the Niger. That is why an Nwaga dashed people lands to develop their city. Forget about the marginalization that brought ruins to their city, education, business etc There are many things to say about the Ngwas. They have turned Aba to a city known for large scales productions of shoes, bags, belts, suits, etc mention it. Now that you know, I suppose we return back to discussing football. 2 Likes |
