Re: Amaju Pinick on Arise News
FIFA exco elections is next year There's no time. Not like APC/PDP stuff Visited 6 countries to seek support Once you visit a country and they accept you, other candidates don't go there. FIFA exco is intimidating. Not easy to talk there but don't allow anyone to talk about Nigeria anyhow. Once I fl...

Advocated for Finidi but not involved in his appointment
For seamless transition due to his involvement with Peseiro
Finidi is a leader and humble to a fault

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems
The MRI test is not 100 percent correct all the time. There are false positives. The blame is on the NFF. Appointing a coach 1 month before an event. Waiting untill the last minute to do MRI tests. Normally the MRI tests are done much earlier to get eligible players for campaign. It takes time to t...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
The downside of that was that we have often made irrational, knee-jerk reactions after bad results. In 1998, after those failed friendlies, holidaying and unfit Peter Rufai was forcefully conscripted into the team because Abiodun Baruwa's gaffes knocked him off. The other goalie, Christian Opara wa...

Make I post a link to another old video. Some of us might never have heard the late scion of June 12 election, MKO Abiola, speak. Here he talks about his deep involvement as the proprietor of the defunct Abiola Babes. It's a collector's item of an interview. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Kz1yz7Hv...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
I remember watching that friendly and having low expectations as our payers could barely touch the ball. They also played a few Swedish club sides prior to that match. Their style of play attracted a lot of Swedish admirers. One of them was a young teenager by the name of Johan Allard. This boy was...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
Did the ‘94 or ‘98 team win any friendly? We were never good at those friendlies. We also lost 2-0 to Romania. Our prep for 1998 was even worse, losing 3-0 to Yugoslavia and 5-1 to Netherlands but we always sort of turned things around. Meanwhile, when we had better friendly results, we most didn't...

We lost 3-1 and it's like we used some players who didn't eventually make the WC.
Is Joseph Odegbami same person as Wole Odegbami?

The central midfield came to haunt us eventually. Interesting that some of you folks sarcastically tried to redefine what central midfield is.

How Many Penalty Kicks Did Enyeama Save Vs Tunisia in 2006 AFCON?
Quarter Finals
1 during the game and 3 in the shoot out.
Williams may have saved 4 in a shootout but he's not the first to save 4 in a game.
Enyeama already did that.

Re: Argentina and Nigeria friendly in China cancelled after furious Lionel Messi fallout
This argument does not make sense, so I refuse to buy it. What has an international friendly got to do with an Inter Miami game? If two FAs have signed a deal, you cannot just wake up and cancel the game because you are unhappy with a player. The host of the friendly, which is neither Argentina nor...

Re: If We Win AFCON, Who Lifts Cup?
Ekong or Musa? I've met Musa before, he's really a nice guy but, for me, it has to be Ekong for all the hard work and leadership on the field. He appears to have become the face of the team. In fact, I have a feeling, Musa will support Ekong to lift the trophy. It doesn't bode well for Musa who has...
