tbaba1234: This is a very great news. I av always wanted the best for this guy. Dude already said he wants to represent Nigeria. He was very good before the unfortunate injuries and its relapses. Come next season in the championship, dude will be taking his place as Aina must av been long gone and playing probably in the EPL (I envisage South Ampton). Hopefully, Hull doesn't get relegated to league1 this season. Post the world cup, the right back position will be about the most competitive position in the Super Eagles. Ebuehi, Aina, Shehu, Nura, Odubajo On the fringes (prospectives) ; Ehizibue, Egbo et al |

We have so many young players.. Post world cup will be hot. Watch out for Etebo today vs Celta Vigo. We ask Heaven to give us a good coach...or Rohr continues to do well..when i look back at all junk Keshi took to the world cup. I shudder. 7 Likes |

Bia stop being so modest about Moses Odubajo biko. He is actually a top-rated fullback who for me is premier league quality. His quality is above Championshio quality. Very very very good player. He is the one we were rooting for to come solve our right back issues before the rise of Shehu and now Ebuehi. He is still very much welcome to our team. We need the bad-ass super quality competition. ![]() forgiveness: 2 Likes |

Ahly Star Ajayi Gets Super Eagles Call-Up For Poland, Serbia Friendlies By Johnny Edward ![]() Al Ahly’s Junior Ajayi has been handed a debut invitation to the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming friendlies against Poland and Serbia later this month, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Gernot Rohr’s men face Poland on the 23rd of March in Warsaw, Poland before taking on Serbia four days later at the Hive Stadium in England. Ajayi has been in great for Al Ahly this season, scoring eight goals and assisting nine in 23 games for the Red Devils who are closing in on a 40th Egyptian Premier League title. “Junior’s invitation to the Super Eagles will be a great addition, he has been doing well with his team and let’s see if he can translate that to the senior national team,” a top Nigeria Football Federation source revealed to CSN. The former 36 Lion Shooting Stars Sports Club and CS Sfaxien winger was part of Nigeria’s Olympic team that won bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil. Ajayi has won the Egyptian Premier League title, Egyptian Cup and Super Sup since joining Al Ahly. He also led the team to a silver medal in the 2016/17 CAF Champions League.

It is true he has been out for too long but his class and talents cannot be denied. What he needs do now is to get down to business and start working his way back into top form, keen fitness levels and the right physical conditioning. I know it is a whole lotta work but with his talents, I wanna bet on him trying his best. Let's give it time. He is not gonna be called in just yet into our Super Eagles. He must utilise his comeback to get back into top gear and I believe he can do that. Yes, there are chances he may never get back to his best level preceding the injury but at least, we can take solace in some others who bounced back from a long lay-off to still play good/brilliant football before their time was up. Let us just believe with him shaa.... his comeback is a welcome development but much more work needs be done no doubt to get him back to top level. tbaba1234: |

If the exploit of Junior Lokosa in the 2018 NPFL season is a fluke then, it has been 11 weeks of flukes. The Kano Pillar forward has gotten to the back of the net ten times in eleven NPFL games thus positioning his team temporarily at the top of the table. Not much is known about his age but one thing is certain, he has an ability to deliver in front of goal. The possibilities are endless for Lokosa if he can manage to show consistency till the end of the season. Now with the current form and statistics, he may as well end this season with about 30 goals in the NPFL and well close to 35 goals in all competition this season. His technical ability is somehow in question as he did not make it to the CHAN tournament and for obvious reasons may not also make it to the world cup. http://www.hemmssport.com/2018/03/junior-lokosa-possible-record-for-kano.html?m=1 1 Like |

The same league that produced strikers including Ahmed Musa that painted Russia and Europe green with goals? That Odey is struggling after shining a bit in Switzerland means others shouldn't be given their own honor when due? tbaba1234: |

isan: I saw the assist(replay) It was beautiful. I started watching from the 75th min. The ball seemed to be running away from Etebo. I didn’t see him make contact with the ball though he was running up and down the field as usual. The match is like Police team vs Barrack boys fc. They just wouldn’t let the ball settle on the field before sending it up in the air again. It was bad to watch. The stand out guy was one ugly black boy for Celta Vigo that look like Taye Taiwo’s uncle. Etebo should be happy to have done well against Barca. If I was Rohr watching him for the first time, I’ll blacklist him. Dude was running upandan like a gala seller in a busy ojuelegba traffic. |

Who's over hyping who here? For someone to score 11 goals in 10 matches, so he shouldn't be talked about? You sound like NPFL is a league where easy goals are scored. For your information, we have never had anyone score up to 25-30 goals in a season in the NPFL , that's to show you how difficult it is scoring goals in this league. So he doesn't have to go to Costa Rica to prove to anyhow he scored 11 goals in 10 games. Hopefully Kano pillars will keep him for next season so that he can repeat the feat again because I believe he will score more. If Odey likes, let him score whenever he is, it has nothing to do with this young man, their destinies aren't tied together. Switzerland is now a higher level goal wise? Switzerland that goals dey fly up and down? You make it sound like Odey is the only NPFL player to leave for Europe, that he's even scoring much now doesn't mean he's a bad striker, some players aren't that fast in adapting to newer environment. Let's cut Nigerian players from the NPFL some slacks meen! Hian! tbaba1234: |

somehow: I have read online comments suggesting that Rohr calls him up. That is what i mean by hype. It does not mean he will not become a great player in the future but we should wait for that to happen first. Let him show himself at a higher level. The NPFL is not a high quality league. And yes the swiss league that you describe is of higher quality comparatively. It is not the players fault that the league quality is low. 1 Like |

somehow: Bros the quality of football sucks in NPFL!! How do you want to score 25goals and beyond in the league with little quality coaching, no proper set plays on how manage and execute games.. Stop hyping players from NPFL, their level of football education is at best level of primary school kids...they just have the raw physicality/speed and that's just about it... Most of our players when they go abroad have to be re-educated on how to play the game..so abeg until npfl understands football has gone past kicking the ball around to a well controlled and executed set plays in diff part of the pitch.. HAVE YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF WHY FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS SEEM TO HAVE MORE QUALITY THAN HOMEBASE?? |

bengine: The same league won CCL back to back Some of its clubs got to quarter finals of CCL and semi finals in recent times. Some of the players go to foreign clubs to become stars there. You can bereat the league whichever way you like but it won't add or improve it a dime. If you so much hate what is going on in the league, why not step in to correct it? Shehu Diko and Irabor didn't sit somewhere far away berating the league, they came and contributed their quota, they don't have 2 heads, you can also come and change the league to eldorado overnight. We are waiting. 2 Likes |
