tbaba1234: Those two has registered their name very well in the team. Besides Ebuehi has always been there, just that he wasn't given enough time to prove himself. When the opportunity came by, he proved everyone that underated him wrong. 1 Like |

safarigirl:yeah they've under-performed so consistently over the years but this year has really been a good year for England. since 1966 they've not won anything not even at the youth level but all that changed this year. they won four youth tournaments including the world under 20 and 17 and that wasn't accidental; they've made huge investments at the national football center at St.George's park. so perhaps in the next few years they might do something noteworthy at the senior level. remember that Spain were perennial underachievers before the burst of glory that lasted from 2008-2014 as a result of well structured youth systems in place and even after the shocking group stage ouster in Brazil they have quickly rebuilt their team and are on the ascendancy again. same thing Germany did after the WC in 2006 and they reaped the fruit in 2014 and are in strong contention to retain the title in Russia. even Nigeria is towing that path even if in a haphazard sort of way cos the current super eagles team is dominated by the Manu under 17 and 20 boys. the just concluded nff/zenith bank future super eagles tourney is commendable. we just have to plan and not leave this things to chance. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mujtahida:Queen Amínä may resonate with the Super Falcons, but not the Super Eagles I can't think of any great Nigerian mythological characters if any....don't even know if there are origin stories for gods like IFA, Amadioha and Sango I read one about Osun though, a goddess. Funny enough, saw it in a story by an American |

Mujtahida: what of mai idris alooma or ogedengbe of ilesa, queen idia is a good one too. due to the nature of our nationhood you would hardly find any that would resonate across the nation. |

More importantly, I'm glad someone listened to Shehu Dikko. Hope to see more of this young man. Merry Christmas! 5 Likes 1 Share |

tbaba1234:it did. involved lots of sacrifices to the gods on mount olympus, reading of auguries and entrails of birds in short divination in the mystery cults and the temple at delphi. But its all a matter of perception: a thing might be true but it can be perceived as false. someone reading what i just wrote agreeing with you that greek mythology involved fetishism might still not perceive it as such but when i say our myths involved fetishism it would immediately resonate in their minds; thoughts of juju and babalawo would possibly float across their minds. its perception. for example many people are hardly aware that the nations of europe were once steeped in idolatory and are in fact going back to their pagan past and thats why festivals like halloween are becoming mainstream. but we are all too aware about our own pagan past. |

Mujtahida: It is simple, these stories have been romanticized for modern public consumption but they are still steeped in Idolatory. In the centuries of brutal colonialism, Africans were told that they had no history and no civilization. The mental slavery still exists today. People actually believe in their hearts that a white man is better than them. The Benin wall according to some historical records was longer than the wall of China in the 16/17th century. We had books of scholarship in Timbuktu, Mali, black people built in pyramids in Egypt and Sudan. Today, the treasures of the Benin kingdom are still in European Museums. Africans have not told their stories, they have not looked within for solutions. Several of our problems can be resolved by looking within. We can not keep looking for aid money that is designed to help European and American contractors. The same thing goes for our football. A holistic approach is needed to revamp our football and make its model for Africa. The talent is there. We need to take bold steps to change things. 6 Likes |

darkelf: What gets you noticed is continous top class performances, that is the consistency vthat creates top quality. Omeruo has had good games for Nigeria but I wouldn't call him exceptional. He has played in the Championship, the Eredivisie and now the Turkish league. He has not been a stand out exceptional player in those leagues. And you think he can just jump to Chelsea and perform. I like your optimism. |

tbaba1234:your are so right. the solutions to our problems must be home grown and while not trying o simplify our problems solving them be easy because we have the whole world to pick inspiration from. regarding our football do we even have a distinctive Nigerian football philosophy?i read in that fifa article that one distinct feature of the Iceland team is that the coach visits fans in the pubs and explains and discusses tactics with them. |

tbaba1234: If we do not improve our economy and actually be reckoned with our stories wont sell either here or outside. if we are at pace with the rest of the world no one needs to be convinced that we are all equals, it will be glaringly apparent. Our christian nd islamic beliefs has made everything associated with our herioc past a no go area for us. Of all our past heros or mythological past i think Sango is the one that would probably cut across, its well known here and also outside the shores of Nigeria, mortal xombat even has a shango character. And as god of thunder, thats a fearsome character and it has a staff like thors mijr hammer |
