Na so. E for be planet Mars.

Couldn't have said it better Elder Sir Kog45....

Kog45:
Mikel Obi d new big boss,d dude always remind me of Stephen Keshi.Keshi was instrumental to mass exodus of Nigeria players to Europe in d late 80s and early 90s and was highly respected for showing others d way out.

Mikel has been so influential that most young players always pay tribute,player like Ndidi who said he always happy watching Mikel when he was growing up.Remeber Leon Balogun that he was a great admirer of Mikel even before he got invitation to eaglessame thing Mikel Agu.

Also Brown Ideye who said Mikel made it possible for his mega deal to China,ditto to Vic Moses who said Mikel told him not to go on loan again.Haruna Lukman said Obi Mikel my role model.Now Aina said Mikel made it possible for him to commit himself to Nigeria.

This is a good sign of a leader who want d best for d national team.

Icon4s:


See how Algeria can still qualify:

Algeria Vs Zambia. Algeria wins.
Cameroon Vs Nigeria. Cameroon wins.

Cameroon Vs Algeria. Algeria wins.
Nigeria Vs Zambia. Draw or Zambia wins.

The final fixtures:
Algeria Vs Nigeria
Zambia Vs Cameroon.

Going into the final fixture, from the results of round 4 and 5 matches Nigeria could just be 2 points ahead of Algeria.

So if Algeria wins against Nigeria they qualify for the World Cup.

The Algerians would have also done this their best case scenario calculation and so will aim at beating Zambia. This could work things out better for us if we beat Cameroon tomorrow.

I'LL also love it to be a win +3yellow cards for Ighalo, V.Moses and Mikel so that they don't carry the bookings into World cup proper.

Russia 2018: Super Eagles Storm Yaoundé to Ensure Qualification
By Duro Ikhazuagbe in Yaoundé





After demystifying African champions Cameroon in Uyo on Friday with the resounding 4-0 defeat of the Indomitable Lions, the Super Eagles are scheduled to storm Yaoundé this morning for the reverse fixture of the World Cup qualifier.

According to the programme rolled out by the Nigeria Football Football (NFF) yesterday, the 80-man Nigerian delegation is scheduled to fly out of the Akwa Ibom capital by a chartered Arik Air flight into Yaoundé before noon.

Eagles are aiming to do a double on the Cameroonians by picking all six points in the Russia 2018 double header between both countries within a space of four days.

With Zambia’s 3-1 defeat of Algeria in Lusaka yesterday in Group B’s other match of the qualifiers to move up into the second spot, the Indomitable Lions were further pushed down to the third position on just two points from three games.

Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, allowed his wards the luxury of recovery from the bruising battle with Cameroon on Friday with just light workout.

While the wounded Cameroonians returned to full training almost immediately on reaching their base, Eagles took time out to watch clips of the game all over again and made corrections in areas the handlers considered not in line with the game plan put in place by Rohr.

A top NFF official told THISDAY in Uyo that the players are in high spirit and believe that they can repeat the feat in Yaounde tomorrow.

“The players have regained their self-belief and are now set to prove that the feat in Uyo was no fluke. They are aiming to pick all six points from the Cameroonians by also winning the second leg,” stressed the top football official to THISDAY at the Ibom Meridian Resort in Uyo last night.

Captain of the team, John Mikel Obi, was full of excitement when asked what to expect from the reverse fixture.

“I have no doubt in my mind that we are going to consolidate on our leadership of the group come Monday in Yaoundé. We are going there to improve on the game we played at home here in Uyo when we take on the Cameroonians again.”

The Super Eagles and the Nigerian delegation is scheduled to leave straight from the Omnisport Stade Ahmadu Ahidjo to the airport for the return journey to Abuja on Monday night.

I will personally report the Super Eagles to FIFA for Match fixing if they loose to Cameroun. No way you will beat a team 4:0 and go down to the same team with the same players 72hrs thereafter.

Danger Looming: Super Eagles Stars Import Girls Into Their Hotel To Celebrate Win Vs Cameroon

Danger Looming: Super Eagles Stars Import Girls Into Their Hotel To Celebrate Win Vs Cameroon

Danger is looming ahead of the Super Eagles match day four World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in Yaounde on Monday.

Some Super Eagles players were excessive in their celebrations after 'importing' girls into the Le Meridien Ibom Hotel in the wake of the massive win over the Indomitable Lions on Friday.

''The hotel was full of girls in the night after the game, the Nigerian Federation could not do anything about it as they don't own the hotel,'' a top source who witnessed the scenes that took place told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''It's more embarrassing that the players were not discreet about it, the girls come to the hotel lobby and the players send their personal assistants to bring them inside.

''Players were partying in the club at the hotel and these girls were there. They purposely switched off the lights so nobody will see them, though I understand lights are dimmed in night clubs''.

Nigeria lead Group B of the World Cup qualifiers with nine points after three matches, but Zambia can cut the points deficit to two if they beat Algeria and the Super Eagles lose to the Indomitable Lions tomorrow.

They looked very much sober as at yesterday. Na small boys abeg, they earned their partying on Friday, some people will not allow boys be boys.

VICTOR MOSES AND JOHN OBI MIKEL PROVE THEY'RE STILL KEY MEN FOR NIGERIA'S FUTURE
By Kunle Fayiga (correspondent)





The duo put in a sublime performance against the Indomitable Lions to reaffirm just how central they are to the Super Eagles' success


Nigeria thumped fierce rivals Cameroon 4-0 in World Cup qualifying on Friday evening to take a commanding lead in Group B of 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

The dominant display from the men in green was made possible partly thanks to Victor Moses and captain John Obi Mikel .

The duo returned to the side having missed the previous game against South Africa, but returned to end any potential doubts about Gernot Rohr's tactical nous with a pair of commanding performances.


Mikel may be 30, while Moses has been in and out of the squad in recent years, but the two players-who were central to Nigeria's success at the 2013 Nations Cup-once again demonstrated the kind of influence that no one else in the squad can match.



Mikel had been ruled out for more than three months with injury and there were doubts earlier over his fitness before the game, but the former Chelsea man showed no signs of rustiness; bossing the midfield, linking up well with the attack and showing the leadership skills he’s known for.

He delivered a superb pass to Odion Ighalo for the game's opening goal, before tapping home the second from Moses’ corner. It was an all round masterclass from the Tianjin TEDA midfielder, whose qualities don't appear to have been diminished at all after moving to the Chinese Super League.

Moses has irked fans in the past for allegedly snubbing the national team deliberately, but that wasn’t the case in Uyo where his pace unsettled the Indomitable Lions, and no one could question whether he 'turned up' or not!

He was lethal from set pieces, and while Ighalo was flagged offside from his free kick, his corner found Mikel for the second goal before he netted the third himself.




Mikel and Moses have often turned it on in the big games in the past, and both delivered this kind of performance in the 3-1 victory against Algeria last October, where they were also on the scoresheet.

Without them it could have been another struggle, as Nigeria fans witnessed against Bafana Bafana.

However, with these two former Chelsea teammates back in the side, there’s calm once again, and their influence clearly extends beyond the pitch.

There’s confidence in the team and appears to be an assurance that the World Cup berth is guaranteed as long as both men make the starting XI.

Nigeria visit the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium on Monday and with the belief that Rohr’s charges can get all three points which would ensure they finish atop of Group B, we can expect another big performance from the Premier League-winning duo.

Don't tell me you don't know about home advantage in football.

Besides that game might be replayed in Uyo and the result may not go in our favor.

This is football for you.

it is NATURAL for boys to be boys, you cannot stop them.

I don't see the issue, I know many will, but I wholly expected this of them. And most people criticising them would do same if in their position, what do you guys expect from a bunch of 20-24 year olds? Are they monks?

This is Mikel's last world cup if we make it. We do not have any clear replacement.

That's not the point. Discipline is a virtue..And there is time for everything

Well.... I don't think he is being isolated. I do see him in the campany of one or two players when following team news leading up to a game.... Ebuehi is Part of the family. Just yet to play a competitive game that's all... Besides he is still taking time to adjust... just give it time and understand that he may even be an introvert.

Introvert ke?? I doubt.

I watched his dance moves at his initiation, dude could only have learnt that at the club.

I'm sure he'd settle in just fine.

So introverts don't dance or what? Hahahahahahahahaha.... na wa ooo....

Being introverted doesn't make someone unable to do some things done frequently by extroverts. Also some introverts can act like extroverts sometimes... they are called Omniverts but are essentially Introverts at the core.

you are not saying anything that hasn't been reiterated on this thread multiple times. I expect this from you and most people who will frown at this.

I did not say their actions were good, I am saying, it is easy to talk when you're looking from over the fence.

That is the point.


And once again, they seemed fine on Saturday, if not for this news, I won't even know they partied. If they partied yesterday now, I would have said something, but on Friday? Abeg! If say I dey Le Meridien sef, I for personally arrange girls for those boys for that performance that night.

Safari abeg ignore ANS.... those fellas dey form too much for reports.... no other media carried such news butvna only dem.... Bad news mongers... looooollll.... they want to paint a bad picture of the team's focus.... Kolewerk!

which dance moves? Dude dances like a white boy, anybody dancing like that at a club must not be getting any girls

Oga, I am an introvert and I dance better than most supposed extroverts. It means nothing, you don't haved to relate with people to dance...in fact, you dance better with minimum interaction with people.

Tyronne does look isolated sometimes, but there will always be people who prefer their own company to that of others

You trying to attack my person, but I won't fall for that. My point is there should have been some camp rules to prevent this occurrence esp between the double header. Let's keep this discussion around football matters

Uhmmm... Sir Joebie... ANS wanna make this an issue but Sincerely speaking... I don't see any issues at all. The team is focused... Rohr gave them a time off on Saturday... some decided to have light fun with it... well... I am not saying I support the importation of girls (if that's true) but I feel ANS are blowing this thing way out of proportions with their silly "click-bait" headline Bunch of laughables.... lol


Abeg ignore ANS ameboism.... I saw that news but I chose to ignore it... because I know that is not a true picture of the team's focus on the return leg. ANS blowing things out of their actual shapes.

Whether the story is true or not is inconsequential, they earned the right to party and nobody should question that. When you no kick ball, you wan question people wey work, let ANS go and flog them for partying now.


Rubbish

Peeps who stream with mobdro...like how many mb does it take to stream a whole match minus halftime analysis. .

Cos I want to try it out with this second leg. I don't like the timing of the second leg by 6pm

I don't care.

Abeg ehn.... Sir Tbaba.... it is true we have no clear replacement but that is why we have to cast our net further to also bring in that one player or two who can be groomed in Mikel's shadow for a while before Mikel finally leaves the scene. Russia 2018 may be his last world cup but will not certainly be his last tournament... mark my words.

Mikel will be at Afcon 2019 leading this team. #100% Certainty. He is just 30.... I predict he has 3 more years at least to give to the Super Eagles.


As you are already well informed.... Kelechi Nwakali of Arsenal on loan at VVV Venlo now is one candidate in Mikel's mould. He is a player with the potentials to grow into a midfield general. We need to begin his grooming as it seems there are no better super talented candidates in sight for now.... I am not limiting It to Kelechi Nwakali... anyone else can emerge... but We need to begin his own apprenticeship under Mikel.

tbaba1234:
This is Mikel's last world cup if we make it. We do not have any clear replacement.

Yeah.... party on friday... well still not an issue. They just won a game same friday and had a light workout on Saturday plus time off to chill and relax... ANS eh... their ameboism+aprokoism is too much... wanna distort the picture of the team's focus by using the silly click bait headline reading "Danger looming".... mehn... I just dey look them...
