komekn:yes o, Ekong that was dropped when Oliseh was coach, resurfaced thanks to his uncle Pinnick Ebuehi's uncle, was also instrumental to his making it on the list. And let us not forget how Leon Balogun's uncle also influenced Rohr to put him in. And the biggest one of all, Idowu, that one's uncle, Segun Odegbami, is the reason he is going to Russia If only Hopr Akpan, Sone Aluko and Aina had uncles in the NFF. Oga Komekn, next time, please, restrict your cries to your overrated English players cuz everyone else is having a blast in the Super Eagles 17 Likes |

Again, you got it all wrong buddy. It doesn't matter how well you can perform in your football club, if you can't replicate that form in the green and white then you don't belong in the Super Eagles. It's as simple as that. Secondly, based on my little experience in coaching, I know that a good coach has to consider several things in selecting his team: including experience and balance. The current Super Eagles team is a very young team. How many of them have played in the World Cup before? So why would a serious coach sacrifice experienced players and leaders like: Onazi, Echiejile, and/or Musa, just so he can put in the greenhorns (Aina and Agu) who are not even marginally better? Trust me, only armchair critics and armchair coaches like y'all would do that. O pari komekn: 5 Likes |

Some people just want attention but I am not ready to give it. People brings lies everyday here to justify the exclusion of players but when you debunk such lies they begin to call names and going unnecessarily personal. So, I should be intimidated to submit to lies without asking questions or answering questions because I must have the same view with everybody here. A player was dropped, you say na because he did it in an obscure league and current performance matters. Now, a player from an obscure league is picked ahead of a player that did better in a better league but we are hearing another story with different dimension that the player in an obscure league has ability than the one in a better league and they are telling us that the one in a better league is not good enough. We dey ask question why the teaches they contradict themselves in a subtle way but all we dey here is..... keep quiet ...you are a wailer. ![]() My friends, the sea is big enough for wales and sharks to live in. Make you pass if you no dey intelligent enough to decipher. It is not as if one wan make dem drop Ogu but their wayo and fish brain must be shown to dem. Enough said. 5 Likes |

komekn: There are other factors that have prevented Ogu from playing in a top league. When he was younger, Ogu signed a deal with Almeria then in La liga after his time in Slovenia but he got into a transfer mess with another club in Belgium who had his ITC. When that was sorted, he failed the Almeria medical because he picked up a knee injury whilst trying to keep fit. He moved to Portugal after this. In Academica in the portuguese top flight, he had a problem with the coach for honoring a call to Nigeria and was benched as a result. He was then out of contract before the Israeli call came. I do not think, he needs to teach anyone anything but he does have a good shot on him. 4 Likes |

Martz101: Actually everybody knows Mikel is dead slow. Without the ball.his contribution is let's say not great. His closing down almost comical. However, very very big however, when he has the ball he makes things happen. |

Martz101: Please, you are contradicting yourself. I would have no problem if Onazi covers the backline. That is even my complain. My problem is him going forward and exposing the backline he is meant to protect. I do not hate Onazi. He is a National hero. Gerrit? |

Martz101: Onazi should learn to shield the defence or step down for another to do the job. How come Ogu, Agu, Hope Akpan get it right and a highly experienced defender like him gets it wrong repeatedly. He should do the job or step down. |

Martz101: I believe he was injured that's why he wasn't invited for Algeria and Argentina game. Against Cameroon he grew into the game and was impressive in the dying minutes so was he against Zambia. One thing to take is that Agu has never started any game for Nigeria and has not played enough minutes to be given proper assessment. |
