Forgiveness, Komekn, Kog45........ food don don Agali is Eagles’ chief scout for Russia 2018 OKOGBA Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has listed former striker, Victor Agali as his chief scout going to the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia. ![]() Victor Agali Rohr who guided the Super Eagles to a highly successful qualification campaign told Nice news outlet Nice-Martin that Agali’s contribution to the campaign was priceless, hence his decision to retain him for the World Cup. Agali worked with Rohr throughout the qualifiers in the capacity of scouting opposition teams and helping identify Nigerian players abroad. Agali played under Rohr at French side OGC Nice in the 2004-2005 season, scoring six goals in 30 appearances. It is understood that Rohr is looking at the possibilities of engaging more ex-internationals to enable him build a formidable team for the country ahead of the World Cup in Russia 2018. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/11/agali-eagles-chief-scout-russia-2018/amp/ 4 Likes |

Kog45:Sighs. Thanks. Points noted. I will avoid making such interventions next time. I will learn to ignore. It's just that it's painful. Kog45 I hate tribalism with deep passion. I grew up on the Airforce Base cos my Dad is a soldier now retired. I grew up seeing all the ethnic groups in Nigeria live harmoniously. Till date because of that background I can tell where a person is from just by seeing the person's face and hearing the person speak. Our parents love each like brothers and sisters irrespective of tribe or religion(shey na when you dey battle front you go begin think of tribe?) and that same spirit is what we their children share. I grew up in the middle belt, went to university in Zaria, law school lagos, spent seven years in Akure. Every where I go, I look to see that same harmony replicated amongst our people just like the one I experienced growing up and in football I see it. So I find it disturbing when the San San of tribalism or subtle allusions in that direction is thrown into the discussions about the team. Like Segun Odegbami opined in his piece this team has a burden on it to prove that the black man can excel at the highest stage. We just have to rally behind the team. I am one who believes that our thoughts have the power to influence the team's performance. Let's continue channelling positive energy in their direction and who knows they might surprise us all. 16 Likes 1 Share |

MetalJigsaw:Don't mind the journalist putting a spin on what the young man said. Did you see the headline in the body of the article? In fact that he did that interview in Dutch to Ado den haag TV. The young man even sounds like one who is struck by the wonder of the opportunity he's gotten as a member of our team. In an interview he said when Troost first contacted him, he(Ebuehi) was surprised because we(Nigeria) have players all over the World. Does that sound like a player who would now be boasting that he deserves a place as that spurious headline seems to insinuate? So you don't know that on this thread we have evolved a principle of filtering information because we have discovered that most of the news are either false or full of misinformation. Joebie would say don't follow the headline. Follow the direct quotes in the article. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Africans are so petty, reason why they cant point to one single invention they gave rise to nor a developed country the Europeans didnt help them build. Always crying over stupid issues that never get us anywhere. Look at how sorry Nigeria is...It gives me the rage,I swear! I am a well traveled man and I have traded,worked and dined with people from all over the world and I can tell you from experience that African are weak in the mind. And education has nothing to do with it, its just a cover up. Go to business run by Africans in the U.S and see how deplorable they are. Sometimes I feel Africans are somewhat inferior to other race. I picked out a Cameroonian girl by her last name and she thought I was Cameroonian only to be disappointed when I mentioned NAIJA BOY. The first thing she said was I dont hang with Nigerians in the presence of my foreign friends who were shocked...lol. Little did she know that before the partitioning of Africa the tribes living on both side of the border were relations. Sad. 2 Likes |
