I don't think as a boy who grew up in a family that boast of the first Professor of Medcine, the first Nigerian to earn BA degree abroad as an external student in Nigeria, first Nigerian to open an Indigenous Bank in Nigeria etc is interested or believes in Federal character but I am humble and despite no one.

So you don't think that the NFF has a list of all the Nigerian players playing professionally overseas that they had supplied to Gernot Rohr? Oh boy, please give it a break! To hear you talk about Kayode, someone may be mistaken to think that you're talking about a Lionel Messi or something ![]() O pari forgiveness: 4 Likes |

lexyman: The core issue is not league but the issue of performance ability related to age. There are some here who are way to quick to dismiss players just on age. That's the question ❓ You are expanding the issue keep it in context. The issue of age becomes more contentious considering we do not have automatic birth data capture. So we shouldn't be bothered about having the youngest team. 1 Like 1 Share |

INTERVIEW TYRONNE EBUEHI: DREAMS OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL AND THE WORLD CUP Few players could count on as much attention in January as Tyronne Ebuehi. Would he or could not leave at ADO Den Haag? Despite great interest from Benfica, the right back still remained in The Hague. He is assured of playing time there. And that is important to him in view of the World Cup. It can go fast. Those words are absolutely applicable to Ebuehi's career at the moment (22). A year and a half ago, the Haarlemmer finally managed to play definitively in the ADO Den Haag team. A few months later his good play was noticed in the country of his father, Nigeria. After having been in the selection of the 'Super Eagles' for the first time in March 2017, Ebuehi debuted on June 1 in a friendly match against Togo. In November, the right back played his second international match against the Argentine powerhouse, in which he left an excellent impression. Nigeria even won 4-2. The stormy development of Ebuehi seemed to be rewarded in January with a transfer to Benfica, which eventually ended. Development Ebuehi is not the type to go to float after all those beautiful performances. But he can not deny that he has had a good time. "A year ago I did not dare to think that I would get the attention of such a big club and play in the national team, it could indeed go fast in football, I see it as a result of daily working hard to get better, that's already paying off, but I'm not there yet, I have to keep developing myself, I have not finished at ADO Den Haag yet. playing the viewer for the World Cup. " That opportunity had been considerably smaller if Ebuehi had already departed from The Hague during the last transfer period. There was no guarantee of a lot of playing time at Benfica. In retrospect, the Nigerian is also not very sorry that the transition is not (yet) ongoing. "It was not my goal to leave ADO Den Haag at all costs this winter, I am still young, my time is coming, I am just very happy that I am still playing here and the coach gave me that advice. 'Stay at ADO Den Haag, at least you can make minutes there'. " Last month for Nigeria preparations for the World Cup started with a practice match against Poland. In Russia itself the African country takes on Argentina, Iceland and Croatia. According to Ebuehi, what are Nigeria's chances in that pool? "That's hard to say, even though we won from Argentina in November, it's still a very difficult opponent, especially when Lionel Messi is competing, which was not the case for us." Also Iceland and Croatia have shown good teaming I think we will certainly win the next round, but then everything has to be right. " Dreaming Too much Ebuehi does not want to think about the World Cup for the rest. He realizes that he has not yet played a definitive part in the selection. That is why the right back wants to end the season with ADO Den Haag. And that is until now for the club and Ebuehi itself a great season. He becomes an increasingly stable factor in the team, and missed only two games, due to a suspension and an injury. Most important of all: ADO Den Haag is in a neat ninth place. "It's going very well, yes, we do not have to look down and everything is quiet around the club, which of course we are not satisfied yet. If we take the lead again after the loss against AZ, we can really have European football. it would be something, eh European football and the World Cup Yes, the dream would be complete.

Are u listening to what you are saying? I don't know how we rationalize things and I have no bias for any player. I say it as it is. How would you say Ajagun has passed his prime when his mates are still very much active in the SE and we are hoping they invite the other. Omeruo, Shehu, Agbo and Kayode are all Ajaguns mate but you insist Ajagun has passed his prime. Hmmmm God is watching some of us. Chrismario: 1 Like |

Joebie: I am very suprised at you making that kind of sweeping statement. See the bold. Tell me one nation in the past 40 years that has won the world cup that was not ranked in the top 10 ![]() Tell me one club that has one tye champions league that it's league was not ranked in the top 10. In actual fact in both permutations it's more like top 5 as opposed to top 10. Have no doubt top players will play in top leagues and top clubs eventually. Reality what is your reality. Tell me one not two just one please, player who has a rating that is not reflective of his standing that we have in thier current club. Your descriptive diction (most times) is very sweeping and totally misleading. You seem to have little appreciation of this science of football analysis. Of course there will be exceptions but broadly speaking rankings are indicative of the reality. That's why it's possible that a team that is ranked well below us can beat us and vice versa. After all what was south Africa ranking when they played us. 1 Like |

Martz101: Gbam. Bros, I said this before. But sometimes in this thread, when you air opinions, you may be tagged hater. The fact that the arrived in Europe is a big dream come true to them and many of them just relax and get carried away by the allure of it all. They aren't working hard to improve their game. And their agents aren't even helping matters by not speaking sense into their heads. They're only interested in the money Only a few of them has showed vast improvement. Ndidi, awaziem, John ogu (like his work ethic and passion for the GWG). Time Will tell. Hopefully, the new generation will approach their career with a different mentality 4 Likes |

by trash I was only saying he should not use that in this argument. Rankings is irrelevant in this discussion. Rankings can be used in other contexts as a reference. In individual sports rankings have a greater significance. In team sports there are many factors that are considered, which is why I cannot just do a player to player comparison purely based on club rankings (and that was the actual context. Komekn I can take u in this if u want us to apply that logic to comparing players. And we are going to use players that are not Nigerians. Let me know when u are ready. komekn: |
