SiMoses in limbo as klopp seals Julian Brandt's deal and his club, Gent declares him surplus to requirements for putting in a transfer request earlier in the summer.


I feel for the boy. I pray he gets French team to help him out in this dire period

charlesemeka85:
i don't believe this cheap propaganda. mikel and joel are not sibblings. joel is from imo state while mikel is from anambra

The part he linked this up with the Onazi beef..... how about that.

tbaba1234:


I do not take anything Laloko says seriously. Joel Obi moved to Italy with his family at a very young age. He played with Inter under 17 and was eligible to play for Italy.

Mikel's immediate family members are in Naija.

We know anyone can come up with such claim about where he or she grew up. VicMoses two stories is an example that any of the two can actually be the true story

Was this man not linked to the Academy that produce Mikel?

Grey areas plenty.

No one at Bills could even counter him. fear or stunned?

Questions dey o.

ChrisKels:


He couldn't back up his claims with facts. This to me, is a big lie though Joel's true identity has been somewhat enigmatic. Dude is said to have both Ivorian and SA roots.

You See...


I have a friend that runs a cyber cafe years back. his younger brother is 25but looks so 17, no beards or hair to sell him off. He eventually with my friend's help went to Ivory Coast to play football with the u17age


He was so successful and I when he came back, I saw some paper work that will prove he has played for a naija division 1 team when in actual sense he hasn't even been to the state.

He wanted to process some form to take him to Italy (dunno why every easy way out plus fraud for Nigerians is always Italy)

I haven't heard from him. Cos he was actually successful.


Which means that if he blows or make it and media attention is into him, he will sell that bull crap story to the media. Might come up with cock and bull to prove he's an orphan or not. Cos What he filed was accepted by the foreigners. which means there was some paperwork that fitted in...


Now imagine thousand more smarter guys with same scenario.

Phew.


Yeah they are footballers, but I have this part of me not ready to just believe their background story since 2002 WC.

Victor Moses is a totally different story..

Humility017:

Pinnick and co will be scared to sack him now...save they wanna replace him with a northerner....because the current government won't tolerate that...
should the info gets to the presidency that a northerner was sacked and replaced wit a someone from another region I beleive they will be in serious trouble....

currently we are having the most nepotistic government ruling US.

very ignorant statement

BascoVanVeli:
Honestly I think Saudi is a better league than China. For one Saudis are better footballers so the foundation of their league is stronger but that said I hope Musa refuses the temptation and push to become a legitimate star in Europe. At 25 he has time for that later.

do you really think he is 25??

About last two years he had 2 kids and one was at least 8-9

EmmGee:

.we know he's not....but on dis thread even if buhari claims 40year old as his official age,we would still av some ppu here who would back his claims with THROWBACK PICS wyle he was a young officer to support his claim.so anything concerning players age here,u believe what u want to believe

EmmGee:

very ignorant statement

it is ignorant because you've not been in this country...of late probably in mind and body.

only someone not well informed will attest ignorant to my lady assertion especially the latter part.
moreso, the giwa and pinnick tussle being championed by dalung...hope you won't tell me that my claim that giwa is being backed and motivated by the sport minister is not ignorance as well...because some of you here have lost touch wit the Happenings in this country.

Ahmed Musa has joined AL NASSR of Saudi Arabia on a 4 year contract.

BascoVanVeli:
Obinna makes an assist.

Nwaneri or Nsofor

Bolowolowo:
These are some of the stadiums that folks on here are clamouring for us to use in case we host AFCON. I just dey cry

This should be Lekan Salami stadium. It is different from Obafemi Awolowo stadium.

Infact, Morocco's stadium are not different from those 19 century stadiums we have in Nigeria but peeps here think Morocco can host Afcon. Mtcheew!

ChrisKels:


The bolded is the only reasonable thing so far from the bunch defending Nigeria here, now let me use the right word, we "complement" each other. If the closed their boarders, we might go naked bkus of lack of okrika wears, carless because of lack of "Belgium motors"

Okirika true, but motor parts lies

I've always been skeptical about why Mikel carries that face always on national duty. And for years.

Guys I dunno how true this is, safarigirl, pls come and scrutinize o, cos if what this Kashimawo Laloko said is true, then I guess I'm not surprised....


https://footballlive.ng/laloko-drops-bombshell-on-mikel-obis-name-and-true-relationship-with-joel-obi/


I always love true inside camp gist actually. Cos I know footballers are just "professionals" that do well for the camera.


Pls let's scrutinize

Did anyone hear this on Brilla?

This guy owns/heads the Pepsi academy Mikel came if I'm not mistaken?? How come Mikel didn't push for his Invitation much much earlier?? Remember it took a while for Rohr to give Obi an invite despite being in great form. Would Mikel not have been pissed when Chidibere Nwakali was invited over him??
Not too much is known of J Obi's past sha. One thing I've learnt in life is nothing is impossible. Wouldn't be in the least bit shocked if this is true.

Let me be a conspiracy theorist in peace...

Oasis007:


This Stadium ain't Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, rather Adameisigba Stadium, the Home of 3SC. The Turf is artificial, not natural as some Folks are saying.


We ain't ready to host any International Competition especially AFCON 2019, except TBS turf is replaced with natural Grass and the Onikan Stadium is completed as scheduled.

Abuja Stadium only requires little touches. Uyo Stadium is ready same as Adokiye Stadium. Also I read it somewhere that Udom is building another massive, world standard Stadium in Akwa Ibom, Eket Town precisely - if it's true and can be completed by December - then we are good to go!

However, if the Eket Stadium ain't gonna be ready before December, then Sanni Abacha Stadium should come to the Rescue - turf only needs to be replaced. The standard is OK!

Akwa Ibom - 2 Stadia
Portharcourt- 1 Stadium
Lagos - 2 Stadia
Abuja - 1 Stadium.

Do you mean Obafemi Awolowo stadium's turf is artificial?

Tesilm Balogun stadium has been approved for renovation and change of turf to grass.

Eket stadium construction is on course.

tbaba1234:


NFF crisis is still on. Dalung utterances of recent show that he is backing Giwa.

This is serious.

I hope they don't use their selfish interests to jeopardize the future of our football.

tbaba1234:


Yes, any moment now..

can't wait to hear the deal go through...

At the same time hope no be person wey go turn ball boy for bench.

Moussa Wague already in the city for his Barcelona medical. Soon he will put pen to paper as a back up to Nelson Semedo. He will shuttle between laliga Barca and Barca B to aid his development as he is just 19.

Forgiveness u said Shehu was better than this boy as a right back in the world cup

AIG07:

My guess is Samuel Kalu as a back up to Mbappe.

Shehu did ok in his game, the problem was that Nigerians didn't know about Perisic then. Shehu and ViMo did the best job on him through out the world cup.
The young man from Senegal is not in the clear yet because Sergi Roberto can also slot into the right back position leaving him as third choice. But I liked what I saw in the world cup and I pray he does enough to banish Sergi from this position cuz I don tire for the guy sef.

Mikel’s brothers are Ebele Obi (Heartland fc keeper) and Patrick Tochukwu ‘Edgar’ Obi (entertainer). Siblings share some resemblance, as you will be sure to find when the three pose together, but there’s not an iota of resemblance with Joel Obi. I warned laloko not to change his weed supplier

Let's just wait because if Giwa accepts to withdraw his case Nigeria would be the biggest winner because apart from helping us to avoid a ban it will bring back a much needed private club. Tbh the Giwa ban left a bad taste in some people's mouths especially the how the club got taken out of the NPFL.

It is all but confirmed that Ola Aina will be farmed out on loan by Chelsea before the transfer window closes for business, with manager Maurizio Sarri omitting the Nigerian defender from the last two rosters for games against Inter Milan and Arsenal.

As reported by Football Insider, West Brom are in the market for a right-back after missing out on the signature of Yeovil’s Tom James and have switched their attentions to Ola Aina.

The Baggies are preparing to lodge a loan bid for the Chelsea fullback and they need to conclude negotiations before the next six days as the transfer window in England will close on August 9.

Aina impressed during his first loan spell away from Stamford Bridge, making 46 appearances in all competitions for Hull City, including 44 starts.

The 21-year-old was given false hope that he was in the plans of Sarri after he traveled with the first-teamers to Australia for a friendly against Perth Glory, but has been training with the 'loan group' since the squad returned to the United Kingdom.

Central defenders Kenneth Omeruo and Fikayo Tomori are the other players of Nigerian descent linked with a temporary departure from Chelsea this month.

Nwobodo.

Was Joel also in that academy? If so, then we have to get to the bottom of it. This is a big allegation for someone like Laloko to make Why is this report not also on other media outlets? Let me check.

Modified
That story is only on two lesser websites. Looks like fake news to me. Or did anyone listen to Laloko say it in Brilla? Is the story even on Brilla fm website or on ther Twitter page?

Yes Shehu did his bit but it is atrocious to say that Shehu was as good as Wague was at the world cup. About Roberto, he is destined for the midfield, main reason Wague is coming in. Wague will be even better than envisaged for FCB. He is that good, he put in spectacular performances for both country and club before we sounded out his camp for a possible transfer. I'm so happy we gonna have yet another African in my team even though I wish it was a Nigerian coming in.

It’s not a matter of whether Joel merited it or not. The allegation is a weighty one. I think it’s fake news after all.
