Guess who,Awo with his old Agbo Oba area friends during his twin sister engagement in Ilorin....this boy too humble
It's like he doesn't have luck with national team. Even if he is invited, he feels like an outsider. Same thing is now happening to Aribo

Tell him to go to Arsenal
Boy will flourish there
He’s the missing piece
Isak may be more expensive
He should forget Chelsea
I swear, he'll turn tables upside down there.

Nigeria would’ve won 96 or 98 Afcon if not for our useless politicians
That’ 90’s generation could’ve won 3 Afcons

I know what unity cup is and I Obafemi Martin's playing in the 2004 one, my point is that it doesn't make sense to use majority of home based players for the tournament only for them to be discarded.

Taminu was getting regular call ups from Tanzania only to be ignored since moving to Crawley where he barely makes the team.

Bameyi can only leave Yum Yum FC to Bayelsa despite taking spots that quality players would have taken advantage of.

The likes of Lesotho, Rwanda and Benin won't callup their equivalent of Taminu, Papa Daniel or Bameyi in their national team as they will select the best players.

I know it's a fun tournament but It doesn't make sense to me to have players we don't plan to integrate in the national team as the moment they sign for European clubs they are no longer considered for future callups.
If I give you the list of Lesotho players you will be surprised,Tanimu will make Lesotho team with ease.

My point our stars will not be available for Unity cup so what do we do

Kanu's heart surgery issue raised his profile and popularity astronomically because of the miracle of his coming back to the game after such an incident. Remove that, and I agree with you that players like Odegbami, Siasia and even Amokachi were way higher than Kanu in of impact for the Super Eagles.


Kanu performed exceptionally well in his football career, still remain the most decorated Nigerian footballer. The only club he played for without winning a trophy was West Bromwich Albion, he won almost everything in club football.
For Super Eagles, he was just not fortunate to win AFCON.


He!!!! Kanu did Yakubu here..lol

Leave them
Let them keep arguing
We saw him at Arsenal for 5 years & how he made most West Africans love Arsenal
He won everything in club football
He won u17 World Cup & Olympics with Nigeria
Portsmouth haven’t won another FA cup till date
Henry even stated he’s one of the most technically gifted African players he’s played with
Nigeria can’t even qualify for Olympics these days
Kanu’s 1999 hat trick against Chelsea is unmatched in his set
Lookman comes close against Leverkusen
Some of us do rate our players performances relating it to super eagles,not even under 17 or Olympics but Super eagles.

We are not saying Kanu is not good,talking club career he is our best till date.

Aina played as RB throughout Afcon. But we have watched Bruno. He's better on that left than Osayi is on the right.
No o,he also played as LB with Osayi on the right,Sanusi was rested by Peseiro.

Yekini is my best Nigerian player until another player sur his goal record. He even scored more sef but not all those games were recognised by FIFA.

He better come to Nigeria , the earlier the better. He will be second choice to saka at arsenal. Saka in England is not a constant but still ahead of Ethan. So the earlier Ethan realizes this the better.

Last call ups, we ignored in form midfielders like Crisantus uche, dele bashiru and onyeka for some backwater league guys like papa daniel, alhalassan etc and we’re busy pursuing ethan nwaneri. We’re not serious in this country

That’s why we love osihmen who has done it both at underage and the Eagles

Many people forget the same olympics Atlanta team paraded many 94 afcon winning players so what are we going say about amunike who scored in afcon 94 final and the 96 olympics finals with goals too in the World Cup in 94. Abeg we need to be careful with this best Nigerian player thing

That Zimbabwe draw caused it. We would have moved from 44th to 40th if we won that game, but drawing made us move just one spot up because we lost coefficients.

Update: Ekong Was Not Fit For Super Eagles... My Son Is Angry He Didn't Get Even One Minute - Ojokojo Cries 🇳🇬🦅

Father or Super Eagles defender Jordan Torunarigha express disappointment over his son's inability to play at the world cup qualifier fixtures against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Speaking to Blast FM and was quoted by SCORENigeria the ex international said...

“Ekong was injured, he only played because he was captain.”

“Unfit players should be kept aside.

“Were he fit, we would not have conceded the goal against Zimbabwe.”

"He(Jordan) is bitter he didn’t play, he’s not happy at all because he did not play even a minute. But I have tried to encourage him, told him to keep his calm, I talk to him and he listens."

Do you realize the importance and legacy of osimhen g for a big club like united? As in Generational legacy and God willing, if he performs just believe that, doors will be opened for Nigerian players in the future.
