Sir Chriskel and Elyte89 don de form bad ass partnership for their comedy show.

Thumbs up to Sir Gbosaa for taking it lightly.

Ebere Eze scores the winning goal for QPR in the Championship, First start... Biko, we should keep a close eye on this boy... Talent!!!

Honestly that Mbaise boy dey ball. I took time to see few of his games the other day and I was wowed by his level of improvement.

If he maintains this growth, he would find himself in the EPL soon. He is doing exactly what Gray was doing at Birmingham before Leicester snapped him up.

Nigeria has too many awesome kids coming through. I must commend Pinnick for his insights

forgiveness:


There is defenders and goalkeeper crises because of the actions and in actions of previous coaches.

We had Kenneth Otigba and Gbenga Arokoyo who played consistently in the Eredivise and Turkish league btw 2014 - 2016.

Now, there's is one Junior Udeme Plus in the Portuguese league with Tondela and Jacob Adebanjo of Victoria Setuba who are both defenders.


I hope Rohr monitors themselves after the WC.
So we now have defenders crisis because of the actions and inactions of our coaches in not inviting Otigba. You don mean it? Tell me more

And did the outcry stop you from complaining about some of your favorites? in life, things cant always go your way bros.

we have thousands of players and no matter who's picked, people will always complain/cry.



I can categorically tell you that 89% of the players I clamoured for, that are qualified and credible enough to play for Nigeria are in the team but I am still pressing on until we get there.

What's Iheanacho's best position on the pitch again?

Honestly I saw a glimpse of Iheanacho of 2013 this evening. Threading good passes in the midfield, assisting and scoring.

Some people won't like his grin

if you ask me it is just behind the top striker..i have never fancied him as the top striker as that hides his other talents

Rohr is a blessing to Nigerian football.

Look at the moves of Nigerian players, this winter..

Shehu Abdullahi moved to a better league
Musa back to Russia
Ideye, Etebo, Success, to la liga
Kayode left where he was not playing
Elderson found a new club where he can at least play

Everyone is looking to get active. On of the best transfer windows for Nigerian players.

In 2014, we carried a Rueben Gabriel who had not played football for 2 years to the WC. This is the difference between local coaches and foreign coaches. The coach pushed them to get active before the WC.

He is on Rohr's radar already... His fine performances won't go unnoticed for too long if he keeps this up. On a personal level, I hope he keeps getting even better and make the step up even. Bright talent. smiley



Yeah, Rohr saw him in London. The youth team coaches should take note. We should not lose this kid. great with both legs and constantly improving

I listened to a radio analysis program on Nigeria info in Port Harcourt two days ago and one of the panel of analysts criticised Rohr inclusion of Nacho in the friendlies list when Nacho is yet to score a Premier League goal.

What a timing of Nacho to score an EPL goal two days later.

The Humble Pie that analyst ate today is as big as Jumbo size burger.


Looolll.... Look at his line of argument. Did he forget so soon Nacho's last GWG performance?/cheesy That guy needs a lobotomy procedure...

Nacho's involvement in Leicester's last game saved them a point. His movement and passing did cause some problems for Bournemouth and was no surprise it was after his introduction that Leicester stood a chance of getting a goal and that they did when Nacho was fouled in a dangerous area around the box which led to Mahrez's moment of brilliance from that freekick (a frekick I trust Nacho don learn from him teammate ahead of the mundial... grin )


Now fast forward to today's game... Nacho only needed two mins to again show his growing influence at Leicester and agaim his true class... What a beautiful clipped pass to Mahrez for that goal that made it 2-1... And couple of moments later... He makes it 3-1 with a header thanks to Chillwell's cross...

Nacho has scored with his head, left foot/leg and right foot/leg this season... Just like he did in his first season at Man City in 2015/2016...

I think Iheanacho is picking just the right time to grow into dangerously fine form for the World cup moments... This is the Iheanacho that Man City put a buy back fee clause for. wink

Let The Nacho show continue...


I didn't see the full match. I only saw the goal and assist.

What position did he play?

On a personal note, I wish Kenny Otigba the best as he begins his career with the Hungarian National team. His dedication and passion to represent us makes him a hero to our flag in my heart.

Shine young man.

Iheanacho, one of the top performers even though, he did not start.

As usual, Ndidi leading in the tackles department.

Nacho is getting is touch(the touch that brought him to limelight) back. I 've always said this: All he needed was time and patience. That was why I wasn't in support of another move.

So much of his game was left undevelop and left to regress during his later days at city. The major focus then was on his finishing ability...

He is beginning to rediscover his old self but SLOWLY. So I won't want us to place too much expectation on him now.

One thing is certain, he'll get back to his best-
the very best we've always known him for. But we(his club, his coach, and the fans) must exercise PATIENCE AND GIVE HIM TIME.

Was Nwakali getting game time?


I think they are two different situations.

OOne didn't see game time at all while one though saw game time but was not statisfied hence the move to a bigger club that believes, he got the talent.

l would say that lhenancho gets limited when he plays as a lone striker in a defensive or 4-5-1 formation. He performs way better when playing as an attacking midfielder behind the no 9.

Unlike u controversial biased guy, I love English bred Nigerian stars as much as I love their counterparts all over the world. I just hate it when u and komekn put down the locally bred stars just to make ur English boys look like demigods.

I'm following most of these anglonigerian kids possibly better than u do. I must say, Onyedinma has impressed me, Bright Enobakhare too but u won't see me here over hyping them like u do. I can only report of their progress as I report of ipalibo, chukwueze etc. I was so hapi Ademola left England for Germany too bkus I blv leaving his comfort zone(England) will give us a chance of capping him.

I can go on and on...
