I am unable to understand your position.

Ngolo Kante a few years couldn't even get a club so he played 3rd tier, then 2nd tier before primotion to French league 1. In all this time he was a million miles away from the French team.

Walsh at Liecester City and his scouting team identified him as a prospect. Paid the modest £5 million for him. From there he set the premiership on Fire then got a call up to the French National team.

He was not called to the French team when he was at Boulogne or Caen. It was after he was proven and tested in the EPL that he got his first cap.

So can you explain how this journey of Kante and or Mahrez has any relationship or similarity with Nwakali.

All players start somewhere either at the top or the bottom. Each level you play is a test, which will if you perform propel you to the next higher level. Where you start is irrelevant it is how you progress.

If you are cutting it week in week out with consistent top quality outstanding performances, no matter the league you will get noticed. Then you will progress, but you will not remain in the backwater leagues unless you are not truly good enough.

My view he has not progresed enough to for a call up just in the same way the bench warmer at lowly Wolfsburg Osimhen. For any of them to be called to the SE

Are they better than the hundreds of Nigerian players in far better teams playing week in and weak out.

You earn your call up to the SE by the consistent performances that put in at your parent club. Not because the scouting crew think you are good. If you are good prove it in your club performance Finito.

youve always dodged my question of who should be called up know their place

National team is not dumping ground for every d...h....it is for those who have distinguished themselves among the rest. As it is Chidiebere Nwakali is not qualified to be given any chance ahead of those who are doing well better than him. They didn't get to where they through magomago way like chidiebere is about to do.

He is not the best in Norway neither is he considered for any award because he is not pleasant to behold even in the low low lowly Norwegian league. Sorry.
have you Ajagun and Ilori distinguished themselves among the rest?

Three youngsters to keep an eye on

Ebere Eze.. (trained with Nigeria in London but has dual citizenship, currently on loan with Wycome wanderers from QPR, has scored some terrific goals this season)
Chidera Ejike (Valarenga)
Nura Abdullahi (Roma)

I believe these three players will be quality.

You have just finally come out with the problem you have with Nwakali's invitation.
we have always known what forgiveness is about.

The issue is not that Rohr called up someone, the issue is that Rohr calls up someone name CHIDIEBERE, not a Kayode or Taiwo like he would prefer. If it was even some random Femi from one league in Kazakhstan, he wouldn't have complained this much

I see nothing special about this Argentine squad to say the least. Just check out the defence, old and gone. i can only reckon with their attack and believe me, that alone can't win you a tournament.

Aguero, Higuain and Di Maria put together have contributed 0 goals for Argentina in the last 11 months. Our defenders should draw strength from this stat and wage them off.

Aguero is not one to score for Argentina. If it's Man city ehen. I guess his goal tally will not be much for Argentina

From what I deduced from this is that few individuals have personal interest in the super eagles and at the same time there is personal vendetta against some set of players by these few individuals which as result, is at the detriment of National interest.

Can you please explain what played out against these set of players that didn't get invitation to the national team as at that moments they played for bigger clubs or in a better league?

Why was Gbenga Okunowo never invited to the national team during his time at Barcelona despite been part of the team that won the league that year?

Why was Lukeman Haruna ignored for two sessons during his time at Monaco? We know he was called for a friendly which he only played for 12 minutes. The world cup he went to was due to the injury mikel substained else he for no smell am(arrange thing). Why was he still ignored after the world cup despite helping Monaco to get to the final of Coupe de france? Why was he ignored despite playing regular with a top club like Dynamo Kyve that was regular in champions league and Europa league for 3 good seasons?


Why was Some aluko never invited when he was obviously the best player for Rangers in the Scottish League? With all his exploit he has not been capped for more than 5 times.


Time will not permit me to to mention all the players they allowed to fizzle out for players like Chidiebere Nwakali.

Please kindly explain. Thanks

If i can understand you very well you believe one section in this country were being treated unjustly when it comes to invitation to the national team.I just guess,so am not tagging you a tribal guy because you are expressing your view.

I don't think there is anything like that and if you want to look it at critically,truly invitations to national team should be based on merits but sometimes we see a player in the team that warrant question,my man it happens and only coach can explain.

Good you mentioned Gbenga Okunowo case when he was doing well at Barcelona meaning you want us to go to memory lane to discuss this issue.I can tell you a lot of players that find themselves in such situations in national team, some find their way forcefully some couldn't get invitations.

1.I believe you remember Richard Owubokiri, this was a player that paint Europe with goals,highest goalscorer in the whole in the whole Europe but find it difficult to get invitation. He was forced on Westerhoff against South Africa and in that match he had a goal.This great player was substituted and never get a call up again.

2.Mike Obiku was a very good player doing it well with Feyenord in dutch league scoring goals but couldn't make it to the national team,his exploit in dutch league can only be rival by Finidi George but this guy was not given chance,may be few caps.

3.Chris Ohenhen was one of the greatest Nigeria striker in LA liga history scoring goals for compostella every season but find it difficult to get invitation made just few appearances for Eagles, the rest is history.

4.Godwin Opara was a very good CB playing in French league for Strasbourg later PSG but did you know Godwin forced his way into the team prior to France 98 after being denied the opportunity for so long with Nigeria preferred using average CB like Uche Okafor,Isaac Semitoje.

5.Karibe Ojigwe was a perfect DM/CM having a good time then with Karlsruhe later Bayern Leverkusen but did you know what,this guy was denied invitation despite doing well but a very average player like Garba Lawal was getting invitation with coaches telling us he was playing to instructions.

6.James Obiorah was a mercurial player,marvellous to watch,very skillful and highly rated youngster who was denied invitation when it matter most.This guy saved Nigeria qualifications to Atlanta 96 with stunning free kick just two minutes to the end of that particular match i can't really recollect the match.

Did you know Obiorah was forced to be invited for that match but after the match no invitation again until a Jamaica match prior to France 98,he put on a superlative performance but was dropped. It was this frustration that forced him to make a confession prior to 2002 W/C that national team coaches are collecting bribes, he came into the team and displaced Wilson Oruma.

7.Benjamin Nzeakor a very good winger in his days but couldn't get the call when necessary one of the very few Nigerians to play in Brazilian league.

8.Uwem Ekarika good winger in his days but couldn't smell national team like others who are not better than him,very few caps.

9.James Etokebe a good winger who was doing well but not giving much chance in eagles to impress.

10.Kalu Uche the senior bro of Ike Uche find it so hard to break into Eagles,though he later did but that was at the later end of his career.A lot don't know that Kalu was the best player at COJA but was denied invitation despite doing well every season in Europe until he find his way and appeared at 2010W/C scoring two goals.

11.Ajibade Babalade had a great appearance at Senegal 92 paring Keshi at the CB better than Uche Okafor but after Afcon he find it difficult to get into the team .

12.Chidi Nwanu was doing well in Europe and was the best Nigeria CB playing for Anderlecht but Westerhoff denied him invitation preferring even player like Isaac Semitoje,he gatecrashed into US 94 when it was obvious that his presence was needed in the team.

Honestly we have a lot of them and is not based on where you come from,it happens and only coach can gives reasons because sometimes is a puzzle for fans seeing certain player doing well and not getting invitation.

TheGoodJoe:


Your stats are based on players from different coasts with different factors. Not a true yardstick. The best yardstick is the coach identify specific qualities that shows massive potential, inviting him and watching him closely. Then Rohr can make his assessment.

I bet you were among those who fought with blood against Awaziem's call-up because he was not in love with the Queen.


Don't compare Awaziem with a player in obscure league with a relegation threatened club.

Awaziem played his way into the National team on merit because we saw him played for Fc Porto. No lie give me chop.

Never assume everyone wanted Tammy. Some of us really did not care about Tammy until the whole Pinnick fiasco.

And yes, we have, NFF just don't want to call them and the public isn't hyping them because they are not playing in England.
