I am a Bonafide Nigerian and I love the Super Eagles

In the beginning, I had doubts about this team but they are gradually winning me over with their attitude on the field of play

But I know one fact; everybody cannot say positive things about the Super Eagles all the time. We are created different and we think differently.

Hence, it only makes sense to respect the opinions of others no matter how silly they may sound.

Granted, we give each other a hard time here by yabbing and making jokes about our wrong predictions and what nots but this should never degenerate to insults.

Some of us here have a hard time swallowing the opinions of others and cannot make intelligent arguments without insulting the other party. Times without number, I have called out some of these people. While some apologize and retract their statements, others remain adamant and choose not to admit their wrongs.

I want to believe we all possess a level of intelligence to converse on this thread and what differentiates the mature minds from kids is the ability to question opposing arguments with facts and without rude remarks.

I am calling on us especially those of us who are elders to act accordingly:

You don't have to reply every rude remark.

You are not in control of the other persons thoughts and opinions; positive and negative

I also want to believe that you (the agggressor) don't feed the aggressee neither do you clothe or pay his house rent . So the person can oppose you when he wants albeit intelligently.

This is one of the most laughable....

Komekn stylishly hyping a bang average Solanke all because Origi was loaned to Wolfsburg keeping Osimhen on the bench whenever the lad was fit.

They say Osimhen is inferior to Solanke all because according to them, Solanke chased Origi out of Liverpool.

Same Origi who returned and have chased Solanke out while Osimhen went on to prove himself the real deal in his first full season without injury palava.
What did Solanke do with his Liverpool time? 1 goal in 27 games.... What about his time at Bournemouth? Nothinh to show for it...


Yet in Komekn's eyes, Osimhen is well below Solanke. How he chided Osimhen was another evidence of stinking selective bias.

The enlightened Greeks bestowed their knowledge on the barbarians such as the roma people, and it took centuries but the romans learnt and used it. The barbarians took over Rome again and the centre of civilization and development shifted to the east, the Islamic caliphate, while Europe was basically in the doldrums, the dark ages before the knowledge was repatriated back and led to the renaissance and later the industrial revolution.
I can posit what happened to us but it will just be my theory on it, I do not believe there is something wrong with the black man

Guys .which midfield combo is better?

Mikel/Onazi (2013)

Ndidi/ Etebo (2019)

Just when I believe we are winning AFCON, OGA Mikael2 started bringing out bad bad history .

Why can't Rohr start Ighalo and substitute him at 70 mins to enable us see what Onyekuru offers?

Afterall, Ighalo has been given lots of opportunities in the GWG that is making Rohr and other Nigerians feel "we don't have options".

In the game against Cameroun, it was clear to all that he was effective in the game, but same can not be said about the South African game.

My problem with Rohr is his inability to make changes when it's due.

Ighalo was not having a good game against South Africa, as it normally happens in football. Why not try Onyekuru or Osimhen? It's either they

perform or they don't perform. Ighalo was not performing, so the "risk" ( quote and unquote) was worth taking.

The Asians have never been behind us for thousands of years, that is a great delusion. Go and study Asian history and technology, they were never ever our mates...at least for the last 2000 to 3000 years

Abeg, let our boys avoid taking pics with Drake ooo

Even if he enters their hotel some way, somehow, let them lock themselves inside the bathrooms in their rooms

Make him no go Jinx our chances

andrew444:


Una must always find something to use complain

We won the game with Moses Simon changes which nobody wanted so why complaining about ighalo ?

You guys should be happy that chuks is now starting and he did so well against SA and was given man of the match ,chuks will also start next game

Make una leave ighalo abeg ,I am not sure if osimhen will play or ighalo will be subbed out for him ,please save your self the stress

They are black blondies

Onyekuru as a false 9 is going to be explosive. Imagine Musa, Onyekuru, Iwobi and chukwueze in our attack

just want all the players to have a taste of the afcon

Mikel/Onazi (2013)

BascoVanVeli:


Onazi was a right back at the nations cup if I am not mistaken

Gentlewarrior1:
For those people saying chukwueze us iverhyped


Simply go to youtube and type best of chukwueze

Or better still chukwuze vs realmadrid or vs barcelone

See where this boy dribbled Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos and Casemiro. He repeatedly dealt with Marcelo a world class player


The boy is a gem and needs a serious coach like guardiola or klopp to develop

forgiveness:


The black man cannot aspire, lacks adventure and the will to invent.

You should read about black race before you make such statement next time.

andrew444:

I got your point

You should know that I am an Henry fan

But with the way I am seeing him I am not sure rohr will even use him or osimhen ,don't be suprised that if anybody will comes in for ighalo it will be onauchu
