The likes of Finidi and Amokachi were given a chance, the HB are not even given a chance, that´s the crux of the matter, because the NFF believe, if you are in the league you are not good enough for SE.

What's the proof that the HB are not being given a chance bros?

My position has absolutely nothing to do with where players are BORN, but where they are TRAINED. I am not sure why we act so confused by this premise. It is a no brainer that a young footballer schooled in a more stable environment with top notch coaches, facilities and nutrition will 9 times out of 10 develop into a BETTER footballer than a player (who might be more SKILLED) without access to the same standard.
It goes back to my example about a LUTH trained doctor versus a John Hopkins trained one.

If you look at our current SE roster top to bottom, a HUGE MAJORITY are foreign trained. 99% of our team have never played a single minute of NPFL football, and most got their start in professional football abroad. Our entire back like. Our entire attack. Any player worth his salt is discovered at a very young age and quickly whisked away to be developed abroad.
Can you even compare the level of Iwobi's vision and passing to his "naija peers?" In the first half alone, his passing could have led to 3 goals!
To learn to pass under the football tutelage of Wenger is light years ahead of learning it under some local academy coach. That is just plain FACT!

The wind of change is blowing. Each time we get to the world stage, we lose! Our world cup record is shambles! And instead of embracing NIGERIAN kids trained under the same conditions as the foreign players who regularly beat us, we insist on some yeye national pride?

Let us bring in EVERY SINGLE foreign trained NIGERIAN player we can find. They are the future. They are our most VIABLE chance to compete with the best in the world. Its as simple as that.

Every once in a while, we go thru this grand standing about how we are neglecting several Okochas hiding under the bridge!

But in reality its a lot of horse manure!!!

Look at the players in our youth teams, 95% of whom are home-based players. Look at their quality and understanding of the game- NOT the talent. Just look at their overall understanding of the game. Almost to a man it is based on self-help....

The peeps here jerking off about HB players in the SE, WE CANNOT find a decent goalkeeper for the SE, and had to use a player from the reserve side of a Segunda B team.

And you are telling me about reserving spots for HB players? What a retarded thought!!!!!!!!!!!! Just stupid!!!! Stupid!!!

You have to look deeper at the issues, the root cause of the problem I have said it here for years that the Nigerian domestic game is not developing players. Every time I raise it up folks who don't have a clue start giving irrelevant examples...

To reverse this trend requires the kind of systemic effort we are incapable of in Nigeria.

Yes, Pinnick deserves blame for not leading on this issue; he has overall responsibility for development of the game in Nigeria and thus deserves blame; but it goes way beyond him.

To expect any coach or NFF in this circumstance to not focus on the one area where our football is growing- the diaspora, does not make sense. It amounts to tying one hand to the back and expecting to win a swimming contest!

The world is changing, and so is football. The sources of players for the NT today transcends our international boundaries. There is a Nigerian diaspora football like we have never had before.

Peeps need to get used to it. People need to understand that the nature of citizenship has changed.

It's not a choice between Oloye's son (hoping he doesn't inherit those slide tackling skills ) and Ikpeba's. That's not how to look at it. Neither is it about creating artificial quotas. Where does it end? A quota for starting shirts?

There is a legitimate, BUT SEPARATE issue about development of the local game. That is a major issue that requires to be addressed by itself...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

I see two questions here:

1. The development of home-grown players
2. Fielding overseas-born players (or those who started their development overseas) in the national team.

These are two separate issues.

I wouldn't have a problem if Nigeria fielded a team which consisted of players born in Europe - provided they were chosen on merit.

At the same time, I would like to see the improvements in the local game - playing (technical), coaching, and off field activities.

You are definitely playing to the gallery with this 'emotional' accusation you're making.
What is "emotional" about the points I've made?
Just stick to the topic, abeg.
It wasn't me bringing up 'wowoisms' and 'Oyibo na oyibo' abstracts into a factual debate.

Both of you are in a self-congratulatory dance of self-delusion. See how you no even see the strawman Wanajo is putting up there and you are accusing others of being "emotional".
I say stick to the facts and stop arguing on feelings.

This is what Yoruba people call 'Ai tete m'ole' - you accuse me before I accuse you.
Emotional ko, devotional ni.

You miss the point. Its not about the "wideness" of the gap. Even if the foreign trained lads are onlu 0.1% better, it still means they are BETTER and should make the team. The SE should represent the BEST NIGERIANS available, and those invariably are foreign trained. Its not rocket science.

I challenge any of the pro-home based dudes here to mention 3...JUST 3 players from the local league right now that are GOOD ENOUGH to walk into that SE team, maybe apart from the Enyimba GK who is hit and miss, I'll be waiting to see a list.

You go wait tire.
Then they'll deflect the matter by accusing you of being "emotional".
Bring facts to support your argument nah.....they start going menstrual.

Idiots like Kongi and Fabio cannot name any Local based player good enough to walk into the Nigerian squad but they will push against Nigeria getting QUALITY players of Nigerian decent to play for Nigeria. Look at how the likes of Ekong, Iwobi and Balogun have improved the NT. Look at how well they have personally improved at footballers. Compare and contrast to the likes of Egwekwe, Mba ,Ogboabona etc who are MIA. I am glad Pinnick is aggressively pursuing these foreign born players. I hope in the next few months the likes of Lookman, Tomori, Eze and Ovie come on board.

Of course you didn't disappoint

When we talk about these realities, they call us enemies of Nigerian football, arse kissers of anything foreign blah blah blah blah, we just hate when we are told the truth... it's a innate flaw in an African man! I've challenged the emotional blockheads to name just 3 local based players today in the NPFL who can make the bench of teams even in North Africa, South Africa and other decent leagues in Africa... much more the SE.

So the “bush” in your moniker refers to your mentality...smh

Suffice it note my eternal delight that you are one of those “flawed” African man (explains a whole lot), and would also have loved to point out all your progenitor and progeny (if you happen to be so lucky wrt latter) that are similarly “flawed” African males, but do not want to risk a ban by partisan moderators.
