Mickael2:My guy the simple point Icon4s is making is that irrespective of anything whether against Fleetwood oo or backwoods ooo, the young man played well and scored and hence he should be praised. Even his coach praised him. It's not until he kills a cow that he should be praised. Please beyond football remember you will have kids one day. Don't crush them with this high expectation syndrome. You will not praise until you are sure of 100%. No oooo. With your criticism the child might just give you 100% but he will hate you deep inside his soul. Encourage the child till he succeeds not when he succeeds. Truth is encouragement is a million times more powerful than criticism. In my estimation there's nothing like constructive criticism. All criticism is destructive. It's just that some people use the destructiveness to get better but it doesn't necessarily mean that criticism is by itself constructive. Encouragement says I value you as a human being and I believe you can do better. Criticism says all that matters to me is results, results and nothing more than results. Such an attitude is acidic, once it seeps into the psyche of a child it corrodes, it kills something vital in the child irrespective of good results. You kukuma be doctor sef, so I trust you know better on this matters in regards to children. Thomas Edison's teacher called him dumb. His mother removed him from school, taught him and gave the world a genius. It's on record that even plants thrive when they are spoken to lovingly. You are waiting for Nacho to be consistent before you praise him. But how can he become consistent if you don't praise him now. You are waiting for him to kill a cow before you become convinced But We should and we will not wait till Nacho kills a cow before we celebrate him. He kills an ant, we rejoice, he kills a fly we rejoice some more, he kills a chicken, ohhhhhh we can't hold it, he kills a goat, we throw a party, he kills a cow, we just keep silent because our mouths will be too heavy with Joy. I repeat: rethink criticism, don't go by the age old mantra of constructive criticism. That's a lie. Encourage, encourage, encourage all the time for encouragement is a million times more constructive than criticism. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Mujtahida:then we should stop accusing forgiveness of being sentimental or tribalism cos am beginning to suspect guys here especially with their comments on Nacho Fleetwood performance and the way they are mocking Kayode citing forgiveness as the reason,some even came out to rubbish Kayode saying his contract was terminated just to taunt.We need to put ends to it so that we can enjoy our good discussion here or we lose it. It's a pity that we are in a country where we are not secure as brother and sister and no thanks to our leaders who have used the power and influence to divide us in religion,ethnicity and tribal lines but seeing elites joining the bigotry tribals bandwagon always makes me sad,only God can save this country,seeing Funke Akindele dropped from hack AVENGERS casts and see how some were happy with the development and later replaced by Genieveve who was later dropped too,pls see happiness again,then why are we complaining Moses lost out in CAF recent awards,check it out north Africa voted Oshoala most in last CAF awards,if north Africa votes is removed Oshoala would have lost out and we w be here criticising CAF. I tire for Nigerians see how Uzoho was mock by the same Nigerians for saying he is 19 years,why for God sake. 10 Likes |

Leicester Boss Puel Showers Praises On Iheanacho After FA Cup Brace Leicester City manager Claude Puel is pleased with Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho’s performance in the Foxes’ 2-0 win over Fleetwood Town in Tuesday’s third round FA Cup replay, Completesportsnigeria.com (CSN) reports. Iheanacho scored a goal in each half to secure a fourth round place for Leicester City who will face Peterborough away in their next game in the competition. The brace took Iheanacho’s tally to three in 13 games in all competitions this season for Leicester City. “Iheanacho showed a good attitude, worked hard for his teammates and got between the lines. His first goal showed a lot of quality and the second was a fantastic move between him and Mahrez,” Puel said during his post-match interview. The 21-year-old Iheanacho also made history becoming the first player in England to be awarded a goal by video assistant referee (VAR) with his second strike on the night. “I was happy for his game. He played a complicated goal with quality. The second goal was fantastic, and it’s a good reward for him and the team,” Puel added. “We needed to manage the game and put things right from the first match. I was pleased with the players that came into the team – they played some good moves, quickly, especially second half. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/leicester-boss-puel-showers-praises-iheanacho-fa-cup-brace/ 1 Like |

MetalJigsaw:My man am not making any mistake cos i played the game and have been watching the game since 1980 so I know what am saying,if Musa makes WC with his present status then Rohr is biased. Pls do you think a fit and playing week in week out Musa would sit on the bench for Simeon Moses,NO but due to his inactivity he find himself on the bench for average Simeon who is having it every week in Belgian league,this is to tell you better to have playing time as a player. Do you think Rohr was joking when he said some of his players who are not enjoy playing time should sort their future this January,Kayode moving from Girona do you think is for fun,he already got the feeler that better to move or forget fighting for WC shirt.Mikel staying put in China or Ighalo staying put despite interest from EPL clubs is not for anything but WC,Ebuhei contract with Benfica and loaned back to Ado Haugen was to continue is first team starter. My man not playing regularly always have negative impacts on player development,check Mikel out at 2014 WC,a very abysmal performance just due to lack of playing time. 7 Likes |

Kog45: Oga Kog, listen here. This is not about Forgiveness. When he was on a roll, you never said that directly to him. When he came out with his seemingly tribalistic tendencies rubishing Iheanacho while using Kayode , you didnt say nada. Every little discussion and Iheanacho will be the butt end of it all. I am a Yoruba Man. Born and raised in the west. He gave yorubas bad names with his antics. Even went as far as saying Rohr is corrupt. Those who live in glass houses should remember not to throw stones. That our national team is full of a particular tribe to me is inconsequential. What matters is results. It is insecurity that makes us feel cheated. If you have the value, no o e will dispite it. Let us not mistake patriotism with tribalism. Constructive criticism has both damaging effects as well as uplifting effects. While encouragement will only give rise to upliftment. And if you observe, that has been the way I address this issue. I dont hold any brief for Iheanacho or any super eagles player. Tearing them apart from limb to limb is what I will frown at anyday anytime especially when their quality is not in doubt. (Not talking about Akpeyi here cos he has no biz in the team in the first place) Our choice of players is made for us according to the coaching crew. This is not Idols or America's Got Talent or Big Brother Nigeria where the audience get to vote who wins or gets eliminated. If it were up to some people, if you no get 6pack or as cute as Iwobi u cant be in the national team. Thank God its not done that way. Trust me at this state, I would be happy to take anyone who feels contrary on. Enough of tribalism talks and comments aimed at derriding other players so as to promote a supposed beloved player. Thank you 11 Likes |

Danielnino00: You earn the right to play by putting in consistent top performances. This is a great reminder of KC potential quality, now if he gets a chance in the first team he must improve and replicate the required standard of the EPL. He has to displace Vardy that will not be easy or be the first choice second striker. Finally, let's not get overly excited this is a league 1 side playing a EPL club in reality it should never have got a replay. Most EPL clubs will send thier U23's to prosecute this sort of game. Players who do well may get an opportunity for first team football. So there is still a lot if work to be done just now he has more than hope and a possible opportunity to prove himself in the first team. He has to take the next opportunity almost like a do or die game for him to progress. 3 Likes |

kennysville: I don't think some people's preference for Iheanacho over Kayode is due to tribalism. The thing is there are people who cannot see or say anything wrong about Iheanacho for various reasons. They will always prefer Iheanacho to any player. You oga Kenny for instance are a Yoruba and I know you as one of those strong Iheanacho fans. Iheanacho is like an idol to some. That's all. 4 Likes |

Pls you can go back and read my comments or discussion with forgiveness on tribal issue then you will understand better. On the same Kayode i put it straight to forgiveness that not getting national call was not issue of tribal but he just need to measure up,ask Mujtahida,so i have documented discussion and comments on tribal issues here especially on Kayode even citing Ogunlobi factor I'm not always happy seeing tribal colouration comments i hate it and i say it out i don't care who is involved,that has been my point and i w not relent. 2 Likes |

I congratulated Funke. In fact, when some were trying to play down on its achievement at the time, I had to remind them that Avengers:Infinity war will be one of 2018's best and most profitable movies financially at the box office, so being part of a project like that even as a cameo background character is quite an attainment. But now you speak of Nacho - Kayode.... please who castigated Kayode because of Nacho's performance yesterday? I think I only saw one moniker who did so.... Realpoacher. The guy is one that I know mentioned Kayode and to me, I was like... "not again ![]() But who else Elder Kog45 because I fear your accusation on guys who stand up for Nacho is totally misplaced. Iheanacho is the most vilified and most castigated player on this thread and in NL as a whole. The boy is almost always being put down by a host of people who feel he can easily be replaced despite his good run of form and records for the Super Eagles. And please don't forget where all this nacho-kayode comparison began. It began with Egbon Forgiveness... (Ehmmmm... Egbon Sir Forgiveness... abeg no vex... I just wan make point okay. Hope say u dey okay. I never see you for a while now sef.) Now, Egbon Forgiveness started it as a way of showing all that Nacho can be replaced and by who? Well , he brought up Solanke and then later Kayode as better options upfront. Now before this, There was no issues with anyone being tribalistic as regards showing support and love to one of Nigeria's Golden boys , Kelechi Iheanacho (take or leave it, you know he is one of Nigeria's most beloved players thus must also have the highest no. of critics). But when Egbon Forgiveness brought up this issue and was always persistent with it as regards Nacho being trash upfront and brimimg up Kayode or solanke (way back then) as a better option, that was when people like me had to step in and try to balance things by saying that he should not rubbish Nacho just because he wants to make a case for Kayode or any other. That it is not fair and it is unhealthy. Others got into the mix of the arguments too and as usual a mentality was formed for most. Someone even called Nacho useless as a no.9 (Sir Goldfish80 to be precise). Sir Goldfish80 also went on to make the bold prediction that Kayode will soon bang his first LA liga goal soon enough based on his attitude and dare. He said that as a way of saying Kayode will even get a league goal in Spain before Nacho. Look... guys, I don't forget things oooo... I watch and I take note. Now because of all these... it is not surprising to see someone like Realpoacher always on Goldfish80's and Mickael2's cases... but I must use this opportunity to finally call him out. Omo Sir Realpoacher... Abeg. even if you must tackle or oppose their views, don't do it in a manner that defames their character biko. Those guys are valuable members of the thread and have been here long enough before you showed up. So please accord them that respect even if you must oppose okay. Thanks man. ![]() Now back to the matter of tribalism.... elder kog 45. It is not as if anyone wants Kayode to fail just to prove a point. Nope... because from all I have observed so far, na only Realpoacher call out Kayode and obviously becos Kayode is always being used by Egbon Forgiveness and the other Nacho critics to run down Nacho and make him look like a lost cause. So this is the true angle. I do not support running down of any player to uplift another. Nooooooo.... but I pray that all desist from using a player to run down another. If you must castigate a player, then do so with care and love and not with pull down mentality. Iheanacho, it is not his fault that he is well loved in Nigeria and as well have more critics. It is obvious... he is one of our golden boys. See the views this thread got just because Nacho was in action and reviews of his performance were coming left, right and centre... iwobi, moses, and even Ndidi have never garnered such views like Nacho on this thread. Only Mikel rivals Nacho for such views sef but Nacho still edges slightly. You cannot accuse people who speak up for Nacho for tribalism becos from my observation, guys here who speak up for him and won't go down hard on him in a near destructive manner like The critics do cut across the length and breadth of Nigeria. All major tribes represented here have guys and laides who will speak up for Nacho. So the point of tribalism is absurd. Like I said, there was never a debate on players comparison until Egbon Forgiveness brought that in. So when people speak up for Nacho, it is to counter what Forgiveness have said to rubbish Nacho and praise Kayode or Solanke. That is the gospel truth. And it also leads to a psychological reaction to always praise Nacho's good moments in order to drown the earlier opinions of Nacho being trash and way below Kayode and Solanke. Egbon Forgiveness started the comparison and players rubbishing. He started that and we all cannot deny it if we are truthful but then I feel he was just doing it in the way he understood. He may not change but I have learnt to avoid towing that line with him now coz I am focused on the bigger picture. But what I have outlined is the truth. Showing Love and support for Nacho is not a case of tribalism but rather a case of a psychological defensive reaction against repeated comments washing down Nacho and making Kayode and Solanke gods over him in terms of talent and potentials. Biko... I know the tides here so I won't lie. Let us be careful and wish all our players well. But don't expect a handshake when you bash one of our best Players in the GWG in order to praise another GWG player who is still seen as a fringe player in the team. Kayode for now is a fringe player and one of our own. He is a very fine player but for the team's sake, he is behind Nacho in the pecking order. Bashing Nacho so that you can make a case for Kayode will only lead to people defending Nacho's relevance and pointing to Nacho's records for us and if you are not observant and careful, you will think it is tribalism. I repeat, defending or being happy for Nacho is not tribalism. It is only because he has been much vilified and insulted here and overly castigated. Itz a simpu sturvs rily.... ![]() Kog45: 6 Likes 1 Share |
