Martz101: MISINFORMATION Aluko played with Hull in the EPL. He didn't like the style of play and went to Fulham although in the championship a much bigger club with more money. The lure of more money took him from Fulham to Reading unfortunately Reading have lost thier way multiple management changes have not helped. 1 Like |

TheLoneCitizen: TheLoneCitizen: thriving at the highest level has nothing to do with the national team you play with so the issue of using unilag and Harvard in that analogy does not arise...also 'being very satisfied at being 2nd choices' is a funny statement that arises from inferiority complex 4 Likes |

TheLoneCitizen:You won't see me castigating these young boys. Matter of fact, I have always maintained that we'll be the 2nd option for most of these foreign lads, especially as most of them have close ties to those foreign countries than with Nigeria, that is very much understandable. What I'm against, however, is komekn and others making it sound like we never made any attempt at iorfa and that he is being exempted from the national team due to corruption and other malpractice. I'm all for actions and consequences. when you make a decision in life, be man enough to face the consequences of your actions, do not blame others. Iorfa wasn't straight with us, tammy embarrassed us. These actions have consequences and they should face them. Even in Education, not all universities accept 2nd choice candidates. 5 Likes |

asha80: Give me your honest opinion on this. You were born in Kenya, you came to Nigeria to ply football in the NPFL. After attaining great heights Nigeria doesn't call you up, but Kenya comes, what will you do? For there is a difference between patriotism and greener pastures. |

komekn:National team participation is part of professional career progression, so they are one and the same. I don't know why NFF went back for Torunarigha, his position on the issue has been straight from the beginning. That is the difference between these English kids and Germans. While the Germans tell you straight up that they are waiting on Germany, the English kids will lead you on, give you hope and then embarrass you. Tammy has done it, Jordan has done it. Iorfa was doing the same until he realized he didn't have a future with the 3lions. 5 Likes |

SerVik:the issue is this there is a serious crises in the way we run football at home that is why it is like we go cap in hand to beg FB to play for us(especially those who do not have affinity for nigeria except their surname)..i do not see brazillians crying about thiago alcantara(whose father was a bonafide ex brazillian international) opting to play for spain for he grew up there. |

komekn:It's bizarre you keep mentioning Aluko, go check his files, he was part of success story of hull city coming to EPL, but what happened..? They dropped him, he went to Fulham, what happened again? He was dropped... Now plays for Bolton or even reading.... If he was that good you claim, many clubs should have been coming for him.. Good players even expecting to SE after world Cup are the likes of young and skillful Kalu and Esiti of Gent... Not Aluko.. He has tried 1 Like |

asha80:That is why we must stand firmly against what this current u20 coach is doing. If we take over aged players as our u20, a time will come when we'll need them to step into the SE, at that point, they'll be very old and won't be able to carry the burden of our national team. That is what we faced when players like kanu and okocha retired. If we do not fix this, they'll be a huge gap in the future. 7 Likes |

Humility017: How is Kelechi Nwakali who was not good enough to play in the Eredivise as at today play in the Championship? Kelechi Nwakali is currently playing in the Jupiler league which is the second division of the Eredivise but he is not pulling strings there as we speak. The league he is currently playing is not in the standard of league two in England not to talk of league one. He doesn't not deserve to to wear the shoes of Mikel Obi as we speak now. That's an insult upon injury. I am not putting him down but I am stating the fact that as it stands he doesn't in anyway deserves to be called to the national team ahead of better players in better leagues. He needs to prove himself in that lowly and move to a better league where he must also prove himself there to attract the attention of fans and the coaching crew. Anything otherwise breeds mediocre and that ridicules and bastardise the reward for excellence. It's corruption. Now, this is what I call being objective and not being subjective in reasoning. Therefore, I am of the view that everyone be left at his own liberty to state his opinion without attacking the persons personality. Now, if you think the bolded should be the norms then why are you pointing accusing fingers at Komekn for stating his own opinion? Is that not double standard? Anyone, at the corridor of power and benefiting from the larges from illicit and shady deals will not criticize, accuse or blame the Government of the day. To such person the government is right and spot on. Does that means the government is not corrupt and should be absolve from scrutinuty, crititism and accountabilty? If you have blamed, critizied, accused, demented etc any past or present President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for corruption, nepotism, sectionalism, or if you have at anytime called any former or current president of Nigeria corrupt, bias and sectional in appointment of government officials, what makes you different from others blaming the selection of players players, coaches and NFF politics? Are the coaches and NFF board members, in your own estimation superior to the President of Nigeria hence be absolved from any blame? If you have at anytime or in anyway guilty of these, then are you not guilty of the same accusations you are pointing fingers at others? I think this is the height of hypocrisy. 2 Likes |

asha80: Greener pastures comes in the case of national football when a specific country gives you better opportunities. I find it hard to conceive that someone who migrated to the UK at age 6, will opt to play for Nigeria over England without a third party intervention. I'm not against my country, but I put myself in the position of these young men and realize I would make a decision not far from theirs. It still boils down to the fact that the devil you know, who might never give you a chance is better than an unknown angel, with open arms. 2 Likes |

tbaba1234:Exactly. Rohr should start experimenting in the second half when we might have been leading, when some of the starting players are not doing well or when a player is fatigued. Balogun and Ekong's partnership should continue to blend the more. Ebuehi should get a chance to confirm his importance to the team going to the World cup. Joel Obi should get another chance to prove his capability as our AM/CM after Mikel. Same as Idowu at the LB position And Ighalo should get another chance from the start. He's our number one striker. ( I think the 4-1-4-1 suits him as Joel and Ndidi will be playing behind him. Ogu at DM is a good idea. Ndid should support him . |

MetalJigsaw: Actually it was 3 teams but I am not condoning this I'm just saying it does happen. The replays will be out so lets just wait. Also tbh some away teams deserve those calls because when they score instead of playing football they start time wasting. Some clubs start during the first half and that is not football |

TheLoneCitizen: if that is the case then they should choose those countries upfront and not waffle about it and live with it..it is that simple. you might also need to define opportunities here because just because you have committed for England is no guarantee they will take you to an euro or a world cup let alone winning it 1 Like |

asha80: Opportunities draft into club level cause being an English international gives you better chances rather than an INFERIOR country. Alex Ferguson, for instance, refused to sign African players. It's a no-brainer to me, it's not even arguable. |

Danielnino00:My chairman you are not getting my point. OK tell me the difference between the German guys like Patrick Owomoyela,Dennis Aogo,Sidney Samuel and English guys like Onuoha,Agbonlahor,pls tell me cos they all rejected Nigeria with the same attitude. I think Amaju went too far on Tammy,hope you know Rohr too went personally to watch Akpoguma live or you are not aware. What is the difference between Uduokhai and Ibe statement towards Nigeria. Really surprised that we are now trying to differentiate German boys from UK boys. How many German guys have showed commitment except Leon Balogun and may be Maduka and tell me how many English boys. OK let me tell you English guys who have played for Nigeria,hope you know Tunji Banjo of great 1980 team,John Chiedozie in the 80s,Reuben Agboola,Efan Ekoku in the 90s,John Shiitth,Dickson Etuhu,Sone Aluko,Hope Akpan,Efe and Sam Sodje,Abbey George, Victor Moses,Alex Iwobi and now Ola Aina. Only Leon among German guys,the rest like Uduokhai, Akpoguma even a WC slot given by NFF or Rohr was rejected by Torunarigha and this is not insult abi. Imagine someone trying to downplay Aluko picking Nigeria over England during U 20 days,no let just say it the way it should be and better for the thread. It was on this thread they are trying to rubbish Kenneth Otigba who rejected Hungary euro team waiting for Nigeria call endlessly till he later opted for Hungary. I have said it some comments centred around personal issue and am not for that but to talk football if Rohr like he should bring players from NPFL,no issue,results is the main thing and Rohr is doing well,hope to see him shaking the world at Russia 2018. 2 Likes |
