there is nothing to compare between Ighalo and kanu...
kanu was a player who always come alive when it matter most....
I still remember his assist to utaka during the afcon 2004...Match wit Cameroon...
also him coming to get us two goals...against Gabon in worldcup/afcon qualifying match in river state....that match was heading to a draw....this and many more we see kanu rescue this super eagles in dangerous times...

he was a player whose passes the team always count on when it matters most...

can Ighalo do same?
that's the question you and sir kog4 should answer....it's not about records of goals scored compared to kanu....... even in the goals ratio Ighalo is not even faring better...I doubt kanu was ever played as a top 9
Good Mujtahida has answer you.I did not compare Kanu and Ighalo but telling you to balance things up like his stats with eagles and let reason with your submission,saying Sadiq,Dessers are better is not the issue cos it's your opinion and I respect it.

Coach Who Discovered Shehu Abdullahi Tells Rohr – He Is Better As A Holding Midfielder Than Right Back
April 2, 201806

Coach John Obuh who gave Bursaspor of Turkey and Super Eagles ace Shehu Abdullahi his breakthrough at national level says the 24 year old is better as a defensive midfielder than at right back.

Abdullahi has played most of his senior international career at right back for Nigeria, but at club level he has turned out as a defensive midfielder, and that is the role he is currently playing at his Turkish team.

Obuh who was the first to play the former Kano Pillars teen prospect at right back during his time with the Nigeria U-20 says Abdullahi can do more for Nigeria if ‎played from his original role as a defensive midfielder.

” He came to me as a holding midfielder and was very good in controlling the ball under pressure but he was very fragile and slow in recovery, but very good in passes and long kicks. So I needed such at the right back, hence I converted him”, Obuh told Owngoalnigeria.com in an exclusive chat.

DONT MISS ==> Eagles Coach Rohr Rules Out Onyekuru From Russia World Cup 2018
” I think he can do better in the holding midfield as it is today”, the coach who recently resigned from his role as coach of Kwara United concluded

Shehu will make the 23 man squad barring injuries he is a very important player and would play him as a DMF

I believe this too...

Tosin Kehinde (19) on choosing to play for Nigeria:

"Nigeria has always been a part of me. I was born there. My whole family are Nigerian. I come from a very strong Nigerian background so the influence has always been around me. When you are growing up, when you see players like Jay Jay Okocha, how good he was and the current crop of players such as Alex Iwobi and Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, the desire to get the opportunity to play for Nigeria has always been there really."

Coach Obuh, we know this.

But the thing is we have numerous options at the Defensive midfield position. We need him more at RB.

what makes you think...rohr resorted try nancho as a top 9 against Algeria and the likes.....

Sir let's put the record straight,against Tanzania Ighalo led the attack but missed Zambia match in Ndola due to his Father's burial.

Iheanacho led the attack against Algeria and South Africa but due to his performance Ighalo was brought back as a leading striker against Cameroon both home and away and against Zambia

Due to injury Ighalo missed Algeria and Argentina match which gave room for Nwakaeme against Algeria and Nacho against Argentina until recently Poland and Serbia match that he came back into the team.

Honestly i wasn't surprised with criticism that trails his performance against Poland and Serbia cos Iheanacho had similar criticism after Algeria and South Africa match.

One thing is glaring our strikers will always find it hard with what our midfield displayed against Poland and Serbia,check it out,why are we always struggling without Mikel,against South Africa,Poland and Serbia and we keep on blaming our strikers.

Pls go and watch these three matches again and look at it critically may be our strikers are the issue.

I would love him to go to Liverpool. Arsenal has a way of making good players look like trash. Their fans are toxic too with their comments when you play badly. I don't want such a great prospect to be in such environment.

the problem I have with you guys clamouring for martins is that you guys seems not to know...that your world best central forward...had passed his prime...

not same way he was when at inter Milan...
the earlier you guys wake up to reality the better it will be...

presently...I will rate kayode, nancho, ahead of him...if i am opportuned...I will even play young dessers and sadiq ahead of him....



Please educate me what do you mean by a player has passed his prime

This player that you say has passed his prime can shoot with both feet, is still faster than probably all our forwards, has been the most consistent striker over the past decade. Can i ask you to look at the links below down load and upgrade your thinking.

Let me add that Ighalo should get at least 50% credit for converting.. it was still a half chance.. but great pass from Mikel


That goal showed exactly what Ighalo has to offer, positional sense, strength, skill and finishing.

I have asked this question before , never got an answer beyond the usual emotive ramblings birthed from negative dislike.

Is Uduokhai better than Dominic Iorfa and how objectively.

Dominic is a CB and a RB but with a preference for the CB position has won in the past best young player and MOTm when he was at Wolves and played over a 110 games in the Championship. He is still signed to Premiership bound Wolves he is on loan at Ipswich.

Second Question, we seem to be creating a different set of rules for German Nigerian origin players recruitment into the SE particularly considering they have made public statements that they are more interested in waiting for Germany.7

See who is hating you make such a biased prejudiced deduction and you call some one a HATER.

You move away from the factual substantive deduction to one based on your personal pre-conceived unfounded assumption of HATER.


You evade the facts and can not deal with the facts or even contend with them , and end up with the notion HATER , I clap hands for your objective informed non-biased inference.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 7:17pm On Apr 02, 2018
Firstly, Uduokhai has been clocking minutes match after match -- over 1200 minutes with a goal -- in the German Bundesliga.. That a alone trumps all of Iorfa's achievements in lowly Championship. Iorfa's affiliation to his parent club which is at the moment still a championship club like Ipswich is inconsequential.

There is no double standards here. Uduokhai as it stands is still open to Nigeria. And we are looking his direction because his currents stats is impressive. However, Iorfa declaring for Nigeria is just one thing. The other thing is that he has to play his way into SE minders. He is not one of the best CB or RB in the second tier currently.. He should keep working hard. He is young and he will get his time maybe when he starts to play for Wolves in the EPL (if they eventually get promoted of course )

FOOTBALL LEGEND KANU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IN 2019

Football legend Kanu to run for president of Nigeria in 2019
Nkwankwo Kanu
by Austin Ditlhobolo

Monday Apr 02, 2018. 16:00

Nigerian football legend Nwankwo Kanu has been inspired by Liberian icon George Weah’s feat.

The former Arsenal FC and Inter Milan forward has announced he will run for President of Nigeria in 2019.

Weah, who had a very successful football career in Europe, was elected President of Liberia in the 2017 election, defeating the incumbent Vice President Joseph Boakai, and sworn in on 22 January 2018.

“My presence here today is about the future of our country and the happiness of our people,” Kanu said on Goal.

“The last 18 years of leadership has witnessed a decline in all critical sectors of life in Nigeria, plus general insecurity in the land.

“Also, I’ll do all it takes to wrestle corruption which has become blatant and widespread. The rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption," Kanu, who also had a successful career in Europe, added.

“If I get your mandate, I promise to do things differently and restore honour and integrity to public service by keeping the best and attracting the best.

"George Weah's victory in Liberia is a pointer that this dream is very realistic with you all on my side."

Kanu, 41, will be hoping to unseat incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari during the Nigerian general elections which will be held in Nigeria on 16 February 2019.

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi plays down transfer speculation

Ndidi brushes off transfer rumours
By Giuseppe Labellarte, Reporter
Filed: Sunday, April 1, 2018 at 14:16 UK
Updated: Monday, April 2, 2018 at 11:28 UK
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has brushed off speculation about his future amid reported interest from the Premier League's big guns.

The 21-year-old has made a name for himself as one of the brightest young players in the English top flight since his January 2017 move from Belgian club Genk.

As a result, Ndidi has been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal, but the player himself is focused on helping the Foxes back into Europe.


"I don't think about this," the Nigerian told The Sun when asked about speculation regarding his future. "Any move to a bigger club will take care of itself if I keep doing my thing.

"Claude [Puel] is always making sure everyone knows what their target is and what we have to do. As quiet as he is, he knows what he is doing.

"He is not just talking to us on the pitch, after the game we have to know what mistakes we made and what we should've done.

"Anything is possible with Leicester, even qualifying for the Champions League again. Why not? We won the league, so anything is achievable in the minds of the players."

I share this same opinion bro.

That is why I do not trust players who are only tested at youth level.

That is why I called him a PROSPECT for POST-2018WC and the 2020 OLYMPICS.

My philosophy is players should prove themselves at senior club level before getting a call-up to the Super Eagles.

Kanu Nwankwo will have my support if he develops an economic team that will provide economic strategies that can pull our nation out of that financial crisis we find ourselves. Come up with ways to manage our resources and reduce wastage in the NNPC.

It is a noble gesture to want to run for President to set things right but the task ahead is too big than just having a good mind to make things right.

Good luck Papillo.
