I have done my analysis of many years here on CE and I know you have seen and read it many times. The bottom line is we should not be neccesarily picking players becuase of ethnicity and that is how they are selecting some players on the team.

You are basing your percieved inferiority of Nigeria to small european countries based on what exactly ???

anything that will make us sneak into SA next yr

What analysis. No evidence is here. All you can offer is a simple brained list of hometowns. Performance is what matters. Assess it.

Nothing perceived about it. It is factual. Deal with it. Did Nigeria appear in the last world cup? Nope.And how did the SE fare in the WC before that with your tribesman, the dinosaur Onigbide, in charge? Tell us please.

If you are attributing Nigerians failure in 2002 WC to Onigbindes becuase of his tribe...this the why ths isssue needs to be addressed in Nigerian football...this is why the NFA makes sure everyone is included so that people like you are not accusing them on ethnic bias...

Do you want to count how many people are in Germany or Netherlands and then compare how many times they have reached the WC finals or semi finals vs ZERO times for the 150MM "strong" nation of Nigeria? Hell. never mind that - just count QF appearances, of which we have exaclty zero.

You said Nigeria is inferiorto small European nations....i assume you are talking about more than soccer...Germany is not a Small European nation...and these guys have been playing organized ball for centuries...we are the new kids on the block, so the difference in achievements in understandable...however this does not mean we cannot ask all the questions about thats holding us back.........

however you said we are inferior to them,,,,period...are you now saying you only meant in soccer ??

So you claim to be a "realist" exposing supposed tribal bias, yet you are wallowing in denial that Nigeria is a perennial underachiever in football. These days even the likes of Ghana and Cameroun and Egypt and Maroc, all with smaller populations, are doing better internationally than Nigeria.

Your population does not determine how good you are in soccer..otherwise India and China should be winning everyworld cup...

Dey there rolling around in tribal obsession..........

You have failed even the most basic command of logic. I didnt attribute his anything to his tribe. But you inferred a negative bias by the fact that I detailed his tribe and yours.

Ziontrain...your train is about to derail here... I have never said i am the same tribe as Onigbinde...as a matter of fact i am not !! Chew on that !!!

Yet while detailing tribal orgins without even providing any assessment of performance, you yourself continue to claim that what you are doing is a "positive" contribution to the country - hmmmm......

Again I have detailed in the past issues with our player selction policy...All the players on our National team are mostly southerners...why is this ? arnt there kids in the north whocan play or would loe to learn ?? These is a failure in our football administration to adequately address the issue of ethnic groups and tribes in our football.


As for Germany they are 60 million. And no i dont know how many east germans are on their team. Most people dont. maybe you can take a hint.

First of all people from east or west of germany are all white and from the same ethnic stock as far as I know so why would they need to differentiate them.....however, in Gernamy the inclussion of Asmoarh and some turkish guy was widely reported in their media and all over the world....if it doesnt matter, why would they report it ?


As for inferiority or superiority - its down to performance. Why dont you take a train ride in Munich and then go down to the motor vehicle dept to get a driving licence. Then do the same things in Nigeria and tell me the experience was the same. They are not.


You feel inferior to Germans becuase of the thier Motor veichle systems efficency ????
I got my first drivers lincense in Ibadan in 1986..No one asked me for money...i took both the written and driving test, I passed they handed me my lincense....and only paid the required $15 Naira fee them

You know as well as i do that you are skating on very thin ice here on the inferiority thing ....what you need to do is simply appoloize for that point and move on...!!!



Again you can dey there walling in denial while counting tribes. Counting tribes is precisely the distraction that allows the failue to go on.

I means was it tribal quota that caused Oliseh and Okocha to allow baggio to score in 1994? Nope.

Was it tribal quota that caused the entire team to go mentally awol vs Denmark in 1998? Nope

Was it tribal quota that caused Rufai to let in soft goals in 1998? Nope. Just incompetence and lack of depth behind him.....

Was it tribal quota that caused Ortega to rape Babayaro in 2002? Nope.

All the reasons we fail in football are unmotivated players who cannot focus on the real task and issues at hand. They get far too easily distracted by money or ashawo or clique warfare. Just like you.....hey, hey, watch your tounge over there my friend.....Only Asewos distract me...ok !! ........Btw, those countries that are doing well, their players too chase money and ashawo and have cliques too....this is not a uniquely Nigerian phenomenon...so u are going to figure our another reason why our players are not top of the heap

Count on man. While you are counting tribes and microdissecting hometowns and mother tongues i am sure the dutch will count yet another QF appearance at least, that Africas largest nation will not. Hell the belgians too will probably outperform us.

Those 2 countries have their own issues with race and ethnicity too....btw if Belgium out performs us...we need to give up on football.....


Actually, YES they should. The 150MM in brazil punch their weight for real. Why not the larger nations. And no there is no excuse for us in Nigeria either.

But I am sure you will find more excuses to indulge in masturbatury excercises over tribal orgins. Get real man. Move on to something productive.

You are joke men...you are still hanging on to your population theory....look at 10 largest countries in the world and only 3 of them have a credible football program..The corrolation between popuplation size and fooballing performance is not very significant......I am sure you have been told many times...its not about quantity, but quality

The current starting line up will be mostly Hausa + Yoruba

You communicate like Trump, attention seeking and using controversy and bold colored fonts to force your backward ideas into relevancy.

Wise people dont need to be told that less is more.

Personally I never voted in your fake poll but, count me as one of those that do not want any ethnic breakdown of our National teams any sort. We have enough reasons for some deplorables to foster divisions between us based on ethnicity, religion and other fake criteria.

We are Nigerians, plain and simple. Its time we should start thinking as such.

I think you should bring it back but i would prefer state break down, while i was in Ondo i was wondering why we spent millions on football and we have not produced a player since Oboabona. What is the pathway for kids in Ondo State and no support even to push them into the national team
