Why are u referring to Finidi as abiku?
why do u like to throw every words that comes to ur mind anyhow?

Abiku basically means predestined to die no matter what, in Yoruba belief,
a spirit child who died young to be reborn by the same woman over and over again,

"In vain your bangles cast
Charmed circles at my feet
I am Abiku, calling for the first
And repeated time"...
- WOLE SOYINKA -

are u thinking that, no Matter what, Finidi will fail?
.


Baba have you read the one by the late JP Clarke of blessed memory.

Then, you will know that "abikus" are very precious to their parents.

So in this case, at this moment our coach is precious to nff

Messi and Aguero are exceptional players,both taller than Chukwueze and Moses Simon who is just an average player,yet selected by Nigerian coaches.

But me as Nigerian coach,
I won't be looking out for short players unless they are above average or exceptional,
because we are not known as people of short races,
unlike countries like China,or in Argentina which u would not be taken serious if u are tall



Who told you Argentines are short?

Nigerian coaches mind set needs to be changed. Such conception deprives exceptional players from getting a look.

FIFA provides VAR for all the 2022 world cup qualifiers over 2 legs in second round not Ghana FA of NFF
.




Africa’s football governing body, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has revealed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will not be used in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers across the continent, Platinumnewsng.com is reporting

CAF announced on Wednesday that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will not be in use for the round of world cup qualifiers.

The reason for this decision remains undisclosed. However, unavailability of the VAR technology in some match venues to be used across the continent is a major cause of concern.

Nigeria, one of the participating countries, is set to kick off the qualifiers by hosting Lesotho’s Crocodile at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo before facing Mozambique.

So it is not the duty of NFF which I erroneously interjected as NFF fault. Very bad oversight on my part. Apologies

This SA knew what to expect from Lookman and they executed well doing very well to block his shots severally. With Osimhen in Finidi’s set up, we would have destroyed SA.

My top 5 striker.

1. Osimhen
2. Awoniyi
3. Boniface
4. Elija Adebayo
5. Terem

Solanke and Samu Omoridion should be considered.

Solanke with 19 goals shocked shocked shocked
omoridion should learn how to score first before we can call him. Third most big chances missed in Europe.

You want NFF to provide VAR , should NFF also provide match balls and officials ?

Nonetheless bro, when you read this article you will understand that FA of countries are not bar from using VAR for their matches if they can afford it.

Where it struck me most "in my countries VAR is used for the leagues" .Does that means that NFF cannot afford VAR.

And Huumo Books should have the VAR to thank for not losing that match, because there is no way VAR wouldn't have reviewed that tackle on Fisayo. .

A father will correct the child whom he loves. I don't know what you hope to achieve but such action portrays you as being petty, childish and struggling with basic literacy. You're a young man not a kid again. You don't know how much damage you're doing to your personality. Someone was kind enough to correct you yesterday when you referred to Finidi as Abiku. You need to do better.


Baba, dis is a man am not even worthy to lace his shoes! So what is d heck of playing with his name behind his back when he was part of d parasites that collapsed our football pedigree.


Well, hmm las las nothing scrap, scrub on nail his heavily bearded face🤣😂😅

I think finidi needs to experiment with iwobi, onyedika and ndidi/Onyeka in midfield

Onyedika should serve as the cdm, ndidi/onyeka b2b and iwobi AM

What about your most creative midfielder outside of Iwobi the goal 🥅 scorer Fisayo.

Nobody Dey talk abt how awful Ihefu fc was yesterday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If I talk then go say HATE .

I said years ago KC can never play wing he is too.slow and doesn't have the technical ability and or skills to play wing.

I've said several times he had been out of form for over three seasons. He should not be in the SE .

He was an embarrassment yesterday.

At least he is better than moses simon. KC has been our hero in matches we nearly lost. He has a deft left foot to put the in the back of the net. You don't know anything

Lol. Everybody getting emotional here. But the truth remains that non of these local coaches can take us to where we should be.

NFF dey gba but na this finidi gba . Just watched his post match interview and all I can say is , we better go warm eba chop.
At this stage this talk about foreign or local coach is the same as the conversation on foreign/local players.

Those distinction don't matter. We need quality players, we need quality coach. What matters is quality not origin. Simple

I have not seen any exceptional short players that Nigerian coaches has failed to select in the past.
However,a Nigerian team team should not be made up of more than 30% of short players,especially in defense and midfield,
otherwise we would be bullied by other African teams.

Most of Argentine greatest players are short though.

With the way Iwobi is playing now (as a playmaker) I only see Kelechi Nwakali as a potential back up. The latter is a better shooter though.
