Dude lemme say this here. Even if England does not want this guy he is never going to play for Naija. He doesn't feel Naija at all. You only just call his name cos you feel like. Deep down you know he will never play for us. It a like toasting a gal. You tend to know who'd say yes to you. forgiveness: 7 Likes |

chrisooblog: England have changed policy in player recruitment into the 3 lions set-up. When the legislation for payment of developmental compensation as proposed by the Montagliani lead Committee see the light of the day, they will have all the cards. The black man in Africa should continue living in foools paradise,thinking the oyibo man will do the heavy lifting, scout and develop your players just so you can use the same players and knock them out of the world cup. 2 Likes |

kennysville:Yea some of us actually did. Generalizations such as these are weak and mostly borne out of reluctance to truly see things from the other side of the divide. Yes, we are mostly corrupt. Anybody denying this is living in fool's paradise, but that doesn't mean we tag everything we do not understand 'corrupt' as it is been done here. Over the past weeks I've read these corruption charges flying around and while some are truly genuine, others are purely because we do not understand the standpoint of those we are charging. Guardiola, for instance, sold the best player in Africa for who? A player from freaking La masia, with very little big game experience. Many people just could not grasp their fingers around that decision, but many years later, we are all hailing busquet as one of the most technical DMF of his generation. In Nigeria we would tag that decision as corrupt. There are many of such instances in football and indeed other aspects of our daily lives. Corruption is deeply ingrained in the fabric of our society, that much everybody agrees. But if you would just take a moment to see things from another man's point of view, you'll realise that some decisions are purely harmless human choices and though some may be wrong, it has nothing to do with corruption. 3 Likes |

Thank you brother. This thing is making me ewar to use a baton and bash someone's head. I swear if this was a bar and this nonsense is being discussed they for don break person head. I'm just going to do a head count on these players they are parabulating about. This is as at 8.42am Nigerian time: Solanke is in ENGLAND's under21 camp being considered to be uprooted to their senior squad; Tammy Abraham is with ENGLAND's main team; Onomah and Lookman are in ENGLAND's under 20 or 21 squad (saw it on IG); Tonorarigha was on the bench yesterday for GERMANY's under 20 team. These guys are not in NIGERIA's camp. I just checked their bio to make sure tmof their declared FOOTBALL nationality, at no time did any website categorize them as Nigerians.when they change their mind and decide that they want to party for Naija, they know what to do. Enough of this noise. We have gotten the ones that opted for us. Humility017: 7 Likes |

Tammy Abraham snub is a valuable lesson By Oluwashina Okeleji, Contributor 10 November 2017 | 3:57 am Tammy Abraham is one of the Europe-born players being courted by the NFF. The drama around Tammy Abraham over the last fortnight or so has been impossible to miss. The Swansea man has been called up to the England squad on the back of some fine performances in the English Premier League, and that announcement in itself ought to have rested the narrative around Nigeria’s interest in the player. Except that, to expect that is to misread the Nigerian personality. For all its foibles, its citizens are a proud people, and no one likes to be turned down. Suffice to say that, if Abraham goes on to make a successful international career with the Three Lions, he will be doing it in spite of a generous chunk of negative energy stemming from the country of his ancestry. Some of that though is to do with the fortunes of those who have chosen to spurn Nigeria over the years. There is even a direct parallel with Gabriel Agbonlahor, whose introduction in the Premier League back in 2007 was more eye-catching than Abraham’s now. Having tied him down, England never had much use for him afterward, and his career promptly diffused into thin air. Patrick Owomoyela and Sidney Sam with Germany are two other pertinent examples; the usual approach is to immediately cap them once Nigeria begins to sniff around: an old trick, but a very fair one, making them forever inaccessible. This has fed into some of the gloating and sour grapes that is in play among Nigerians regarding the youngster, and while it is entirely possible that he flunks out like all the others, this is a highly talented footballer with a whole lot of development ahead of him. We cannot begrudge him a chance to pursue what is evidently a dream of his. He seems genuinely excited at the prospect of representing England, and has been relentless not only in posting pictures and tweets, but in stating that in spite of Nigeria’s best intentions (we were willing to roll out the red carpet, apparently; what that means in concrete terms is not hard to imagine), he never really considered us an option. Obviously, this is a slap on the cheek, but only in the sense that we exposed ourselves to it. The unvarnished truth is that Abraham does not need Nigeria, and Nigeria does not need Abraham. A fascinating consideration: had he consented to play for Nigeria, would we get the same level of enthusiasm as he is now displaying? That is doubtful. It seems that there was a lot of fanfare for a footballer who was not overly interested to begin with, and this makes a mockery of those who genuinely have an interest in representing the Super Eagles. To see the President of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick, bend over backward in this fashion, time and again over foreign-born players, can hardly be encouraging for locally-based players, for example. While the national pool should be open to all Nigerians born everywhere, it would be best to single out those who indicate a definite interest, a desire to be a part of the project. It does not mean that every foreign-born Nigerian footballer must play for Nigeria. Increasingly, it is looking like that is all it takes. The manner in which it is being pursued also leaves a lot to be desired; whatever the motivations, going so hard on Abraham off the back of a single meeting and a photo op was heavy-handed. Arguably, this brash approach has only reaped reward in the case of Ola Aina, and that was helped by the fact the player’s father himself was eager that the then-Chelsea youngster represent Nigeria. In the cases of Sone Aluko and Leon Balogun, to name two, we have seen how a pre-existing willingness can and does lead to greater commitment to the cause. To them, it was not so much about convincing them to play for Nigeria, as it was presenting them an opportunity to do what they always wanted to. That really is the biggest lesson of this entire episode. If a player needs to be convinced, then he is not really doing what he wants. Rather than chase shadows, we owe it to ourselves to preserve our pride, and reward those who genuinely desire a chance to pull on our national colours. 2 Likes |

It's high time we get over this Tammy breakup, I don't understand why the nnf dont scout these guys before they get into limelight, there some bright enobhakare playing for a highly rated wolves where he is impressing , there Maja who if not for inguries would have arguably been Sunderland first team striker, there Ike ugbo, ebere eze whO are open to playing for us, we really need to follow up these players coz all they need is to feel wanted. Iwobi, Moses, Ola aina, ebuehi, ekong let's not decieve ourselves if thier bi country called them into thier respective national team they would gladly want represent them because they are a big footballing nation. Nigeria showed more desire and got them you can't expect players born In England to Nigeria parents behaving like Nigerians it's rare, except those who parents had a lot of influence on his love for Nigeria like ainas father. The problem is that Nigerians are one of the most sentimental and proud country, but will now for a boy to play for you who was born in Britain and totally British, let's not deceive our self the pinnick boasting on Tammy turns out to backfire to show that thier Nigerian mothers/fathers have little or no influence on thier international career decisions. To be sincere Tammy is a very talented player, but he's not the only one. Umar Sodiq of Torino is almost a carbon copy of Tammy, he was the lead striker for the under 23, so what's the hype we have capable strikers when are hungry with quality just believe in them, instead we want Tammy It's not like we don't have excellent talent for the future so why the hurt shey nah all thier top young stars una wan steal finish..we have hungry talented strikers In my opinion Tammy will not be missed. |

komekn: Yeah, of course, the coming of Rorh won't just halt the corrupt practices going on in the federation for decades. What I'm saying is, at least for now, we can predict at least 96% of SE players to make the list, that hasn't been so in recent years. Concerning Onomah, I've seen him play for Tottenham last season, dude was pretty impressive, tireless, brilliant, technical as well. If I were to pick between him and Winks, I would definitely go for Onomah. But glad he's having a good time at Villa. Based on personal preference I'd take Chuks instead, I like them midfielders in the mould of Yaya Toure, Moussa Dembele for Tottenham. His physicality is a plus to his overall game. |

enomakos: How can you make such conclusions?? And what parameters informed this position we've taken. The term "overhyped English players" is getting cliched already. If Osimhen isn't good enough to make match day squads or just good enough to make the bench in his team or make a couple of cameo appearances in a season, does that makes him the best player?? |
