his excitement is refreshing and he has a great smile

When he said "I'm originally from London" in my mind was like Osapa London, abi where? Ain't nobody from London bearing Osaze Urhog......

Lol, his English has Nigeria written all over it

tbaba1234:


Dropped by Aigbogun and Imama.

Wow, maybe he didn't MEASURE up

Do not misrepresent. When and how did Imama drop him?

jihday:

Disregard that post.

Here is what the boy had to say about his experience in camp of the dream team and the reason he had to leave

ChrisKels:
Before some misguided fellows come here to claim he was dropped by Imama bkus of egunje:

Osaze Uroghide - “When I went to the Nigerian camp, it was a nice experience,” he recounted.

“Coach Imama Amapakabo has a lot of experience in coaching obviously with the Super Eagles and the Nigerian Professional Football League.


“The training was very intense when I went there but unfortunately, I didn’t get to play in the games, I went home early because I fell ill.


“Hopefully, next time I can show coach Imama I deserve a place in the starting eleven.


“I will continue to work hard to get back into the national team. Hopefully I can get my first cap.


“I will be looking forward to that and the work never stops.”

I'm getting too busy

I think I have to fully focus on my 'work' so as not to be an internet 'beggar'

Byebye to Andrewbaba44 and Charlesemeka85

My apologies broda, i meant no harm ooo

I wish you the best

Subzero047:


You don't see away wins in top leagues, abi dey don't travel?

Away wins is what tells if they play actual football and don't rely on home 'advantage' and intimidation to play football

as regards the traveling, I'll really say it's a serious issue. That Lokoja-Ajaokuta road isn't motorable at all and this is the same route these players will ply to play and that on it's own is a disadvantage

I don't know if they still did the abridged league like last season where they're in 2 groups of 10 or so and the top teams from each group play on a neutral ground to decide the overall winner. But in all most of these roads is injury on its own waiting to happen

ChrisKels:

He was ill..

They never measure up. To be fair, he was ill in Imama's camp. Aigbogun dropped him.

I am impress with the results from the NPFL this season. There seem to be improvements

Almost 3 months after the U-17 WC, no club is talking about any of our players, that's a damning indictment on Garba and says alot about the quality of players we paraded

The captain and midfielder, Samson Tijani has apparently signed a pre agreement with RB Salzburg. Will move when he turns 18 later this year. Aside from him, I don’t think any other players got any moves

Aina clocked in 89 minutes in Torino's victory against AS Roma

Read it earlier but surprisingly no statement of confirmation from Salzburg

He only officially signs at 18.

Subzero047:


Home win is a tradition in Nigerian football, forget excuse

Why do they still fail to win away in continental football and local derbies?

Guy forget even in top leagues there are weeks we don't see away winning oooo

andrewbaba44:


We all know he will score goals a gala, i wont see that as a bounce back because i believe in what he can do

My problem is why do you make an ambitious move to Monaco just because of little challenge you ran back to turkey?

To make it worst Monaco got a new coach he can impress seems the former one doesn't believe in him

Is he scared of fighting?

If e come face wetin iheanacho face for england nko

His transfer decision was already taken a month ago before the sack the coach. Moreover its a loan deal for just six month with no option to buy for gala. I believe he will use that to get a better playing time and boost his confidence

Danielnino00:


I thought the Bichi boy had joined a laliga club?

Heard the same but very unreliable news. He did not make any appearance for Golden Eaglets, so I am not sure why La Liga club will sign him

Big amen to this

do4luv14:

It takes some to break a man, for him to lose focus

yet its another thing that will make a man to gain direct and focus,


i pray for Success to rediscover his dircetion and focus

He is definitely a Pogba/Yaya Toure kinda player. Ebere on the other hand is an Okocha kinda player.
Ovie is coming into the Eagles Fold soon. This 2020 may just be it.

For Ebere, we may wait a while longer. Time will tell.

He has played more games adaptably as a LWB for Torino so far this season compared to his natural role as RB and RWB. He's played LWB 8 times, RWB 6 times and once at proper LB.

Aina is the allround fullback who can play on the right as RB & RWB (His natural roles) and as LB/LWB (his adaptable roles).

Yesterday in that major adaptable role (LWB) of his which is now his main role at Torino he excelled in his side's 2-0 away win at Roma. Saw most of the game and he was really solid. Marshalled his wing superbly.

Kbs468:

Is that his natural position for Torino?

Or

It's just a make shift role for him versus As Roma

Yeap... He plays left for Torino

okay

Nigeria: Siasia Resorts to GoFundMe to Raise Money for His Appeal At CAS


6 JANUARY 2020 This Day (Lagos)

Former Super Eagles forward and coach, Samson Siasia, has started a GoFundMe appeal to raise money to fund his case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in order to overturn the life ban slammed on him by world football governing body FIFA.

Siasia, who scored Nigeria's goal in the 1-2 defeat to Argentina at the country's first appearance at the World Cup in 1994, according to Opera news, had the appeal created for him three days ago and is aimed to raise $250,000.

"Samson Siasia was alleged "to agree to collect bribe" in relation to a football match. He was subsequently banned for life from all footballing activities, without the benefit of defending himself.

"The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has now accepted an appeal from Samson on FIFA's ruling.

"Legal cost of defending himself is needed for him to clear his name," observed the statement attached to the GoFundMe appeal.



Siasia, a member of Nigeria's famed 'Class of '94 Eagles,' was handed the ban by FIFA last August for allegedly agreeing to "receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches."

A statement from the FIFA Ethics Committee at the time stated: "The Ethics Committee has found Mr Siasia, a former official of the Nigeria Football Federation, guilty of having accepted that he would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics."

Siasia was banned "for life from all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level." In addition, a fine in the amount of CHF 50,000 (US$50,000) was imposed on Mr Siasia.

However, further probe revealed later that Siasia was banned after failing to respond to, (or appear) email requests from FIFA to appear before the Ethics Committee to present his defence.

With the decision, Siasia's next recourse was to head for CAS, but to file an appeal required the former international to pay $100,000 excluding his legal costs.

Close associates of the former Nigeria coach revealed that Siasia has been in depression for the last few months.

Apart from the case with FIFA/CAS, his mother was kidnapped and was with the criminal gang for months before allowed to go after a ransom was paid. It was the second time the 76-year old lady was taken into custody by the kidnappers.

Siasia coached Nigeria's Super Eagles between 2010-2011 and returned for another spell in 2016 and also served as coach of the country's Under-20 and Under-23 sides at different times.

But the FIFA indictment did not state if it was during either of these periods that the alleged infractions was committed.

Siasia has continued to protest his innocence, saying he had no recollection of ever agreeing to manipulate any football match and has also said in previous interviews that members of the Super Eagles team he played with have not offered him the kind of support he needed.

"But I will fight to the last to clear my name because I know that I did nothing wrong.

"I only heard about all of this for the first time just like everybody else on social media and then I got a call from (NFF President) Amaju Pinnick asking me if I had seen any letter from FIFA.

"I said no and he asked me to check. That was when I checked my email. But I know that I am innocent and I am asking everybody to help me raise this money to clear my name."
