Flying Eagles and the curse of the white jersey.

All their uninspiring performances have come in the white jersy.

Ah!!!

So only Nigeria from West Africa is going to the world cup?

Egypt Qualifiers for Semi finals

Egypt 5-4 Ghana (penalties)


Egypt booked their place in the semi-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF U20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2025 with a nerve-shredding 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Ghana after a pulsating 2-2 draw in regulation and extra time at the New Suez Stadium.

Hope Ghana can still qualify for the world cup.

Shebi it's 6 representatives from Africa?

Gentlemen and Ladies
Our Flying Eagles will be facing Senegal U20 in the first quarter final game of the U20 AFCON in Egypt. This match will determine if we qualify for the world cup in Chile or not.

Senegal beat DR Congo 2-0 to qualify as runners up in Group C. Ghana beat CAR 1-0 to top their group.

Can the Flying Eagles deliver on 12th May? Senegal has always been a thorn in the skin of our age grade teams. We keep our fingers crossed and see what Aliyu Zubairu and his lads can do.

Senegal has never been a thorn in our flesh at any age grade ( or any level) of football.

elyte89:
Omo e go tey die b4 we fit reach World Cup quarterfinals mehn let alone of winning it…although it is a club football but look at d intensity at wc d two teams played ,super eagles no go survive am at all …

Yinmu.

So the likes of Morocco and Turkey that got to the semis hv 2 heads abi?

We should even be ashamed of ourselves.

Imagine a country like Costa Rica always doing well at the world cup by regularly getting to the quarter finals but somehow that seems like rocket science to Nigeria.

I don't see how this helps,.

what if I'm viewing nairaland as a guest, will I not see the posts I'm not supposed to see?

Wrexham promoted to the Championship.

I believe a Nigerian plays there as a goalkeeper.

Sangoamadioha1:
Determining the longest-serving monarch in Nigeria requires looking at the coronation dates of various kings. Based on available information, here are some of the longest-serving monarchs ¹:
- *HRM Obi Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor II*: Crowned on September 6, 1959, as the Obi of Owa Kingdom in Delta State, with over 65 years of service.
- *Oba James Adelusi Aladesuru II*: Crowned in June 1959 as the Onigede of Igede-Ekiti.
- *Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona*: Installed as the Awujale of Ijebu Kingdom on April 2, 1960, with over 64 years of service.

Given the coronation dates, *HRM Obi Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor II* and *Oba James Adelusi Aladesuru II* appear to be the longest-serving monarchs in Nigeria, both crowned in 1959. However, without exact dates for Oba Aladesuru II's reign end or confirmation of his current status, it's challenging to definitively declare one monarch as the longest-serving. Nonetheless, HRM Obi Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor II's 65 years on the throne make a strong case for him holding this title.




☝️ Quoted from Meta AI

100% correct!

The Onigede of Igede Ekiti is the longest serving monarch in Nigeria.

Woke football fans of this Era be demonizing players with dribbling abilities.

They see players that can dribble as inefficient and ineffective yet ,dribbling is part of a player's creative abilities. That is how they hv demonized Ejuke as useless simply because he dribbles.

Back to Okocha, not only does he dribble,, he had other special skills too in incredible measure.

Short ✔️
Long ✔️
Set pieces ✔️
Vision ✔️
Long throw✔️ He's long throw led to our equalizer against Brazil at Atlanta.
Shot power✔️
Shot accuracy✔️
Tackles✔️
Impact on a team✔️

He is almost a complete player even without the dribbles.

Samueltemi337:
Uche with another assist
Omo we need this guy in our midfield

To replace who?

Zonefree:

It's a huge lie. 7Billion in 1995 is like 700Billion today. The singer should be arrested immediately for telling useless lies!

Maybe he meant the equivalent of 7B in today's money.

mekabuachi:


As long as CAF president is South African
My dear if I hear say them give them additional 3 points for playing an ineligible player... I go believe ooh 😂

Rules are rules doesn't matter if it's Infantino's home country.

Imagine if Nigeria fields an over aged player in a youth tournament and the evidence is overwhelming, will it matter whether our opponents petitions or not before we are sanctioned?

mekabuachi:
Lesotho abeg na 😂😭

Beg wetin?

All those are just straws.

Somebody already explained this is not a court case that needs a petition, once u break the rules the sanctions apply.

In retrospect, the information about the South Africans' yellow card issues came too early. It allowed them not to play the culprit yesterday.

How I wish the information had come out after yesterday's match, South Africa would hv lost six points due to carelessness

How did we suddenly lose our invincibility at home? Teams come to Nigeria now hoping to pick up points, the fear factor is gone.

And no, this is not just about the Uyo stadium. We have tried Benin, Lagos and Abuja in the last couple of years and we have struggled.

This WCQ campaign we hv lost 6 points at home against teams we have always been comfortable playing against.

If we had gotten those 6 points, we would hv been top of the table by now with SA having 12 pts.

How the tides hv turned.

Personally, I wasn't even watching out for Chelle's tactics in his first match but his man management skills.

I wanted to see if he would be able to psyche the players up back to a winning as it was obvious the players are low on morale and seems to have lost their winning mentality.

I think Chelle excelled in this aspect.

joelsteron:
Who observed that we don't have a right winger yet. Moses simon can't play there while we pray for chukwueze to rediscover himself.

U guyz hv funny reservations about Ejuke ni.

Super Eagles abeg ooo.

We saw what happened to Benin yesterday.

phamarsenal:
That midfield of iwobi and ndidi looks very thi, i hope chelle has a clear plan on how we would defend when we dont have ythe ball else we would be over run in that aspect of the game.

U give the Rwandese too much respect, they don't have the caliber of players we hv in the midfield.

But why do u guys keep saying Rwanda will be defensive?

They are t top of the group ( ok 2nd ATM) and they defeated us at home just a few weeks ago, that is enough motivation for them to go for a win.

Seems we dodged a bullet.

zicky:
Spain won the world cup and Euro Cup at one time,and none of its players were considered for World best or ballon d'or. Meaning world cup and Euro is not a major tournament. Make we all begin reason anyhow.

And Weah won the same Balon dor without even playing at AFCON.

Weren't peeps on here mentioning Pitso, Aliou Cisse and that Morrocan coach as suitable and potential Super Eagles coaches?

Why do they suddenly hv problems with Chelle?

I'm indifferent about the Chelle guy but our fate is tied together so we hv no choice than to him.

We've had unknown quantities deliver for the Super Eagles in time past.

Westerhof was an assistant coach with feyernord before been appointed the Eagles coach and he led Nigeria to her first world cup appearance and the first AFCON glory outside Nigeria. He is often touted as Nigeria's most successful coach.

Also, Jo Bonfrere was just a physical trainer to the Super Eagles but was appointed as the successor to Westerhof and he won us our only Olympic gold till date and a second place finish at AFCON.

Conversely, we've hired top coaches who flopped with the Eagles.

Thijs libreght qualified Holland for the 1990 world cup but was poor for Nigeria.

Bertis Voght won the Euros with but was a disaster for Nigeria.

Lars Lagerback took Sweden to the world cup but was poor with Nigeria.

Nothing is cast in stones in football.

Welcome Mr Chelle.

Funkyswagzz:


Bro you clearly got ripped off.. I have an inverter that goes for 200k that is more efficient

Please how much is this?

What are the specifications?

I want to get one for my grandma for DC TV and DSTV.

Why Edo queens fall hand like this? This was theirs to lose. Mazembe is very beatable na.

I hope the champions league jinx that has bedeviled Nigerian male club is not about to follow the ladies as well.

With our dominance of female football on the continent, this competition should just be a walk in the park for our girls.


This thing pain me o.

opes:
NFF should better get Pedro Gonçalves, He is the best coach in Africa presently.

I don't know why this guy is so highly rated on here but if u guys are sure he's the best man for the Eagles job just shout it from the rooftop.

Let the social media space be awashed with is name till it enters NFF's consciousness just the same way u guyz wanted Renard.

ChrisKels:


If there was an end of the year award for the most stupid member of this thread, you would definitely win with a landslide for making such a stupid post.

But that was real.

It's being over the social media space this past week.

Peeps on here don't need to get triggered whenever positive reports about Nwakali is mentioned here.

The guy that dropped the report on Nwakali yesterday already said he's retired from clamoring for his call up to the National team. He made that clear.

To be fair, the same guy usually drops report from even unknown Nigerian players from the Finnish, Moldovan, Cypriot and Latvian league all the time without people getting triggered.
