ok, but from my close observation ehizubue is more robust and physical than ebuehi and also is versatile as you said (naturally was a winger before been converted to a right-back/right-wing back) .pls who is chinweizu? ChrisKels: |

elyte89:I was in primary 3 when Nigeria played Angola and I remembered the match even though I wasn't a football fan. It was from that day I heard Sam Okwaraji name. Daman miracle was still in 89. I didn't watch it though but I was caught up in the excitement. I will never forget how barrack boys were shouting and singing: our goalkeeper na Magnetor, goalkeeper, Magnetor, goalkee, goalkeeper, Magnetor. Fact is I even remember things sharply from my childhood than now. If I take you back to my primary school I can show you where I sat from nursery one to primary six. I still remember almost all my nursery rhymes. I know many people that can still recite word for word English lesson texts like Edet lives in Calabar... And I do not agree that the children of this days are more intelligent because they are more adept in operating ICT tools. On the contrary too much television destroys intelligence. We didn't watch too much as compared to now but what we watched we remembered. I was not even up to five years old but I still remember the names of the wrestlers before hulk hogan came, purely from memory. 2 Likes |

zicky: NTA studios did a wonderful job covering France 98, especially showing the games that were not televised live during the breaks in the afternoon. That dancing black baby with pant was hilarious and brought a lot of laughs to people in the country. So hilarious and matched the celebration. John Fashanu was also in the studio. Do you remember Ronaldo colliding with Barthez was another dark night moment, giving Ronaldo collapsed that day before the game. Nice one. |

if they rate ebuehi why wasn't he capped in any of their youth teams? ebuehi came to prominence after joining up with the super eagles which helped his confidence to notch out superb performances in the colors of ado which made the dutch FA to notice him but it was late. ebuehi, aina,iwobi and ekong are case study for the nff. they mustn't wait till this foreign born kids rise to stardom before approaching them. once any have been noticed as a top prospect they should be approached and integrated to the teams set up before their country of birth comes calling. if such measures was taken a talent like lookman ademola would have been an integral part of our world cup team ChrisKels: 1 Like |

tbaba1234: He has long rescinded that decision bro. Remember he shares same agent with Ebuehi who said he wouldn't block his clients from representing Nigeria because it would provide them with more opportunities at the International scene as the competition is so stiff in the team. But that can change if Ehizibue moves to the Bundesliga and holds his own, hence we better cap him before he starts shining |

charlesemeka85: Go online, type "what do the Dutch FA, team coaches and legends think of ebuehi and ehizibue?" This season ebuehi was rated the second best, if not the best RB in the Eredivisie while ehizibue came fourth abi fifth sef. Yes ehizibue came to prominence before ebuehi and he is also a year or two older than ebuehi. But he ain't no better RB than ebuehi bro, maybe he is a better winger/wing back. I have seen both play in different matches and against each other, ebuehi always came out tops and unscathed. 2 Likes |

Joebie:wwf was the in thing for the kids around then, we used to swear at the tv whenever we are expecting our favorite program and football match pops up. Watched the semi/final of the 96 Olympic after I was woken up by the shout of neighbors, watched all Nigerian and other matches at the mundial in 98. But that semi final was the deal breaker, I followed the Dutch players like beckamp& overmars to Arsenal and started watching the premier league on tv every Saturday. The good old days when local stations air live matches every weekend |
