forgiveness:We can't call everybody, maybe an Aluko though, but Ademola's position is a competitive one in the SE at the moment. He can only be called if he is clearly better than what we have already. I agree we need Aluko though cos we need more creative midfielders. 1 Like |

I hate to go down this road but I have to: Amaju Pinnick is from Delta State, the first vice president of the NFF S. Akinwummi as well the NFF media officer Toyin Ibitoye are yoruba. The second vice president is Shehu Dikko from the North. Rohr has three Nigerian Coaches Salisu Yusuf from the North, Amapakabo is an okrika man, Alloy Agu is Igbo. So if a Yoruba man is crying that yoruba players are not given a chance(and it's so clear now to me that that is what it is) does he know better than S. Akinwummi and Toyin Ibitoye who are in a position to influence things? We have the strange case of Uche Agbo who has been invited for almost a year now without even a single game time. Nobody talks about him. Even the press is silent about him. Yet it's like the guy is a patient man waiting for his opportunity. Rohr doesn't invite Kayode, wahala. He invites him even more wahala. It makes me sad when accusations of tribalism begins to be made against this team. If the teams likes let it be populated by gworo chewing abokis. Just play good football and win games. To hell with whatever tribe. 13 Likes 1 Share |

tbaba12345:It's a shame. Real shame. Uzoho was called because of how his debut for Deportivo brought him into the limelight. Alampasu has not had such debut. It's only reasonable that Rohr should call Uzoho since we are seriously in need of a good gk. And the Alampasu himself has said he would be patient for his time to come. I detest it when people are never satisfied and look for reasons to complain needlessly. Forgiveness I have defended you in times past against those who label you a tribalist. I don't make judgments hastily but it's obvious you like reading things through ethnic prism. You disguise it so well but I see that this is what it is. How come your facts always slant in the direction of ethnicity? Not even Keshi could be accused of tribalism how much less Rohr? I don't know much but from what I have seen I think Rohr is concerned about performance more than any other thing. 4 Likes |

kingphilip: Invitations of Kayode, Onyekuru and Agbo are justifiable because they distinguished themselves among their peers. Though that is not the case with Agbo but he was once a la liga regular and a consistent player in Belgium league. So, if they fail to impress, it is their own palaba and everybody moves on. ![]() |

Icon4s:It's so terrible, this thing. Our society is one that is riven with ethnic bigotry and division. Football and sports generally is the only save haven. I like watching football in viewing centers. Last week when we played Argentina, Hausa, Igbo, yoruba, Igede, Ijaw, Igbira, Nupe, Bassa etc all United to support the team. It's our team. It lifts us beyond tribal sentiments and we love them because the team embodies our highest ideal as a nation. Interestingly, after we defeated Argentina Zambians, Cameroonians, Ethiopians were congratulating Nigeria for doing Africa proud. And here we have forgiveness fighting for tribal representation. People are thinking at higher levels, from deep historical perspectives on our team. I have not read anybody making this kind of tribal calls so consistently as forgiveness in my estimation seems to do. This thing is bigger than Nigeria not to talk of your tribe.

Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders.... He is good but who is he gonna displace? Each time I read this line I feel a bit of disappointment. Prior to the match against Argentina, that line kinda worked perfectly. Then came the 3-5-2 formation and then suddenly the regulars can actually be benched. Wow! I never thought I would see the day. This is why we should not get ahead of ourselves here. There can only be one captain of a ship.and so there can only be one technical adviser/coach for the super eagles. All our speculations on what our starting 11 should always look like is getting flawed day by day. We should leave that to Gernot Rohr. He is the leader of the team and he is the one with direction we are heading as a team. He alone has the road map to our destination. Wresting leadership from his hands is tantamount to chaos and the moment a leader cedes destination over to his followers, there is bound to be catastrophe. Rohr knows the people he wants in his team and what he wants to achieve. The best we can do is support him. If Rohr decides to invite one backwater league player to the National team, it is because he sees something in the player which isnt obvious to us. This talk of who is he gonna bench should stop. Bottomline is any player can be started and any player can be benched. This is what gives rise to quality performance.So long as the coach does the right thing at all times and he gets the right results, then we should relax. I am not saying that Rohr gets it right all the time but my argument is any player can be started and any player can be benched. Period! 1 Like |
