I honestly wasn't expecting this many foreign pros to turn up but this is great.

The bolded is an insult to the Nation. And later somebody will tell you how they dominate the National team. Knowing fully well that it's never on merit but due to prejudice.

A non active footballer made captain of the a National team? What nonsense!

The second bolded explains everything.

Honestly, southwest is behind SE and SS when it comes to football...from producing the greatest soccer players this country boast of to club football. Be it the African champions league , the F.A cup and the league shield the southwest are ffucking behind. Stop hiding behind a single incident to propagate your ethnic prejudice.

Osimhen sustained the injury in Lille’s 3-0 home win against Girondins Bordeaux last weekend.

The 20-year-old was replaced by former France international forward Loic Remy in the 58th minute.

There were concerns that Osimhen will spend somw time on the sidelines following the injury, but Galtier has hinted that the former Wolfsburg striker is up and running again.

“Victor (Osimhen) is up and running. He has trained well throughout the week,” Galtier told a news conference on Thursday.

The Nigeria international has scored seven goals in 11 league appearances for Lille this season.

He was named Lille player of the month for September and also scooped the best Ligue 1 player award for the same month

Player wey never kick ball this season 4 em clubside. That's 9ja 4 u. We keep on pampering and accommodating mediocrity just because of past exploits and achievements. Sentiment aside Nwakali needs to be left alone from national team engagements until he starts playing and performing at his club side

The presence of Azubuike and Nwakali in u23 gives a glimmer of hope....winning the cup is not the priority but qualifying for OLYMPICS ....

OMANBALA1:
And all these people wailing and crying about the inclusion of K. Nwakali are not thinking straight. In every team there are core players the team is build around and this is usually because these players are the one that carry out the ideologies of the coach in the field. They are the one that spell out adequately the tactics the coach want to play and they are usually the leaders/captains of the team.
In the case of the U23 , the team is firmly built around Azubike and Nwakali because they hold the key to the coach's style of play. And ,so far , you cant say the team haven't delivered. So, whether you like it or not K. Nwakali will orchestrate the play from the middle while the general Okechukwu will play from deep....an unfit Nwakali is still better than iwobinho romario messi....chai, heart attack loading...lol

There is no sense in this comment.

If it is by population, Nigeria would be in the top 10 football talents in the world. There are nations with a population that is one-quarter of Nigeria producing better talents. Senegal that has the most expensive African team, are they higher in population or even land mass than Nigeria?

Dense comment. Let us try to apply wisdom when we post, not just post for the sake of savagery and likes.

Danielnino00:


later some people will come and tell us that the NFF are working and the coaches are the problem.. people accusing Manu of tribalism don't even know what really went wrong with the team selection...
The NFF are always interfering with the coaches work and thus frustrating them.look at what they did to Dennerby and the consequence..

The fact that Manu didn't even give the Bichi boy a place on the bench shows that he doesn't need him... Truly,the man has an eye for talent...

for now IMAMA have no excuse...
