@basco and @charles....na una two correct.. Its okay

anybody can claim they ask them for bribe just because we know its a common thing here but when you keep hiding the culprits names, then you have actually said nothing!


If you won't mention the names, why bother us?

What should we do with your coming out if you end up hiding the koko of the matter?

if you are afraid of the names involve, then shut up because its as good as saying nothing!

Tolulopefinest:


This is backwardness

Quite true

BascoVanVeli:



When we talk about Keshi's successes u people will ask where his PLAYERS are today. Well where are these people u mentioned above? U people are never content unless there is chaos.

What sort of lame excuse is this? Are you saying Uchebo and Gabriel have had better careers than Ike Uche, Martins and even Sone Aluko?

Stephen Keshi(God bless his soul) was not clean! What Obasi said is nothing new.

charlesemeka85:
Its dishearting and shameful to see few shameless fans here barking down on the claims of sarki and obasi with regards to their interview on ex eagles coaches demanding for bribe from them before before they will mk the super eagles team.

Its was obvious and glaring to every real soccer fan prior to the 2013 afcon and 2014 world cup. Obasi in the second half of that season was a regular figure in schalke who were in the champion league that season. He was miles better than uzoenyi, uchebo and nwofor.

A certain gabriel reuben who didnt play a league game all season in lowly rated scottish side kilmanock made the world cup team, same with uchebo who had only 6 goals that season in the colors of cercle brugge whereas imoh had over a dozen goals with sizzling performances in the same league.

Even osaze odenwingie who was doing well in the epl then was forced on keshi whom have already pencilled him down to be dropped. The likes of ekwuekwe and one other local based defender that i cant remember his name made the list at the expense of heereeven's young cb then in the person of otigba.

After the 2013 afcon triumph i was happy but wasnt satisfied with the way selections were made and i knew that in no distance time that "fowl yarsh go blow open" which started immediately after the 2014 world cup.

Its only a myopic mind will stand and boast that keshi isnt the most corrupt coach ever to handle the super eaglez

Players who keshi denied deserved places in the 2014 world cup were

Obasi- schalke 04
Obafemi martins- seatle sounders
Imoh ezekiel- standard liege
Ike uche- villareal
Abdul ajagun- panathinakos
Kenneth otigba- heereveen
Sone aluko- hull city
Taiya taiwo-dynamo kiev
Brown ideye- dynamo kiev
Haruna lukman- dynamo kiev

Took Rueben Gabriel based on "potential" and to make matters worse, dude wasn't even fit.

charlesemeka85:
nemesis

Are you insinuating his wife's cancer was judgement on Keshi? I really hope you are not, otherwise Charly that was a really bad statement from you.

Which is why I said we have to wait until Billing plays for Nigeria. It can go either way. No be by club comparison.

andrewbaba44:


I get your point he won’t be benched

Billing is no threat to ndidi

Only a player playing for top club can be a threat to ndidi bro ,billing is playing for Bournemouth for crying out loud

Guy ive been saying the same thing here. It’s on record. Never suggested otherwise.

daveP:


Let Billing prove in the GWG atmosphere first na. Naso we talk Brian Idowu till now.......

I think sometimes you have to put things in perspective before you talk. How about if he had said the Culprit was Stephen Keshi? I believe the same people clamoring for him to reveal names who accuse him of defiling the name of the dead!

BascoVanVeli:


2014=PDP
2020=APC

Wat are you really talking about? EFCC is even looking for this type of case. Lets think for a second na

LOLLLL
You mean EFCC is looking for ganduje file?

ohh the APC you mentioned there...is it the one that managed the rigging of elections in kano and Kogi

Oga Basco please don't let me spill much this period even as at now they're busy stealing left right and centre

"I was told to pay €10,000(N4.8M) if I want to be invited"- Sarki on why he dumped Nigeria for Haiti
opera.com May 9, 2020 11:33 AM
By Hassan Odunayo Ruth


Ex Chelsea and Nigeria youth international, Emmanuel Sarki has made a stunning allegation against the former coaches of the Nigerian National team, claiming he was asked to pay a sum of €10,000 before he'd get a call up to the team.


This allegation is coming few hours after former Super Eagles winger, Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke in an Instagram live chat with Kelechi Bernard claimed he was asked to pay a bribe if he was to make the squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

It'd be recalled that Emmanuel Sarki featured for Nigeria's Under 17, 20 and 23 teams and most notably scored two goals as Nigeria finished runners up in the 2007 African Under-20 Championship but failed to play for the Nigerian senior national team as he switched allegiance to Haiti.


Speaking to Mohammed Suleiman of Liberty Radio Sportshow, Sarki has backed up the claims made by Obasi stating he was also told same at around the same time, he said:

"While I was in Poland with Wisla Krakow, my club president spoke with the national team coaches inviting them to come and watch me. He was asked to pay for the air ticket and other expenses which he accepted. I was now called by same people my club contacted and was told I should pay €10,000 if I want to be invited that coming to watch me isn’t enough. At that point my club president, Mr Bernard felt really bad just as me".

Sarki, though he has managed just 4 Caps for Haiti since 2014 revealed he has no regrets dumping Nigeria for Haiti:

"My choice to play for Haiti is one that I have no regrets about it because I have found peace and also professionalism where I am right now. This issue of bribe for spot is not something that people will say they don’t know. So Obasi is right".


Though both players failed to mention the name of the coach or coaches that asked them to pay bribe, but it'd be recalled that late Stephen Keshi was the manager of the Super Eagles at that time.

Oga goan seat down, the truth is you were not good enough for the SE. Even Haiti sef only 4 caps. Otu oshi

Joebie:
No, not yet. May be due to how Rohr is using him. But which player(s) belong to that class as it stands at the moment?

Iwobi, Collin, Ekong

elyte89:


Its only on dis thread I c fans saying a certain player who hasn't won a "spoon" is bigger Dan a club...I knew some will.say chukwueze is bigger Dan Nice..awever,its a fallacy..I would support him to any club where he would enuf chance to play and grow rada Dan sit on d bench all in d name of playing in a big club

Even on that twitter post some ignorant ones are saying Man Utd, Dortmund. I think Nice will be very perfect for him he can build his career from there

Blueelf:


I agree with this statement. It is too far-fetched to expect any European team to build itself around an above-average player like Chuks.

What he needs now is a coach that can guide his development. Just like Klopp.

Not unnecessary pressure. Build a team around Chukwueze? Very Laughable

Why not? I think if he join a club like Nice where the pressure to succeed is low he can actually be a key player there

Firstly, I’ve never used the word threat here. I’ve only said I expect Billing to compete and not just be a push over. It’s not like Ndidi is miles ahead based on every club stat. So let’s wait and see.

Danielnino00:


We can't separate club from country in this context because Billing hasn't played for the super eagles yet.. you are just assuming that he will be a threat to Ndidi in the national team because Ndidi hasn't performed up to expectation..

So we will just go with the more reasonable criteria for rating both players which is their premier league stats..

Iwobi because of a lack of AM, yes. Collins, though a natural LB, isnt better than Aina.

jihday:
Iwobi, Collin, Ekong

Joebie:

I think you guys underrate iwobi alot, I hope we'll get a new AM soon una go see. I think Rhor prefers a natural LB that's why he seem to like Collin

charlesemeka85:
remember the law of karma, what u give is what u receive. Its natural and not connected to religion nor belief

Guy you need to start toning it down on keshi it's beginning to look like a personal vendetta

He is an untouchable because he is unchallenged. Until he has competition then we can have that conversation. It’s not underrating

barackodam:
Abeg, davep and anybody, who's this flavor nabania y'all talking about.

I can't unravel the player. Wetin be im name gan gan?

Dem don help me answer.


Na dat uchebo wey no even do tiki talkless Akiritikata.

That list alone was a Merc's list.

elyte89:
@basco and @charles....na una two correct.. Its okay

Guyyyyyyyyyy

Basco just no wan accept reality. See Gandollar there.


The thing is we know how evidences are treated in naija.


Lemme rephrase


We know how concrete evidences are treated in naija


Swept under the carpet in the name of photoshop...


If Obasi comes with substantial evidences, i can bet in a week, twill all be trashed out with one silly excuse or the other.


He is smarter than that.


The fact that Keshi won is one side. Another is Integrity.


See Sepp Blatter for one corner


Even the Jack Warner that helped our ministry too.


So we should just look on and conclude that Obasi is lying?

Joebie:
Guy ive been saying the same thing here. It’s on record. Never suggested otherwise.

Till then.


I hope he has a good debut like Aribo and Maja.

Iwobi needs to improve in some areas. If he can he will proove a massive steal from England

jihday:
Many think he's not good enough

Abeg, iwobi is an average player. He is okay and that's all. He is not really world class. His ability to control the midfield is limited when he comes up against a highly technical team. Nigeria vs Algeria in afcon 2019 comes to mind. Ejaria or someone better might bench him as time goes on

How many games has Haiti played?

Did you factor that?

Even Nigeria plays mostly one games during breaks, except qualifiers.

And Haiti don't have the financial power to be organising and taking part in friendlies

Billing can also play alongside Ndidi when Rohr feels like being hyper conservative.
But yeah...Billing will push him for a place.

Sometimes, names need not be mentioned o.

He said he was asked to pay to get into "2014 WC squad"

Question is, who was our head coach then?
Who is tasked with inviting and naming players for competition?

The head coach or physiotherapist?

Or NFA(F) president?

You know who that is, only one person can draft list and include or remove anyone.

That's the person he's talking about

Iwobi is an average player. Yen, yen, yen

Tell us which player(s) in the entire Nigerian football realm, cap and uncapped(but still eligible to represent us), that is World Class.

Biko, start naming.

Any small thing, una go dey say Iwobi is an average player, like we have World Class players.

abeg make we see road jorrh
