Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

He was called up by previous managers. He was even in our AFCON 2021 squad and played in 2 group stage matches. He also payed at the FIFA U20 World Cup where he would have been seen by plenty agents.

Re: Will this justify calling Bameyi to the SE?

We are still waiting to see Bameyi’s record. How many games played, against who, number of goals scored, number of assists etc.

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

The NFF didn't hire a coach until 1 month before the start of the tournament. All the CE members looking for excuses for them is part of the problem. You are a major problem to discussions here but you don’t know it. Aren’t you aware that there was already an U17 team before Manu was appointed? Tha...

How often has the Federation fired a foreign coach (I can remember only Bonfrere). How often has it extended a Nigerian coach? The answer could be telling.

You remember Bonfrere but not Rohr who was the most recent FC to be sacked?

But we’ve been told that his real name is Amuneke and Amunike came about by some typo in his name many years ago. And he just adopted it, similar to John Mikel Obi.

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

Every year, there’s a new article about how 50% of the incoming eaglets have failed this MRI test. You would expect the failure rate to trend down every year as more and more potential players planning to cheat realize there is a high chance of being caught and the coaches make them aware of this. ...

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

NFF mandating these kids to do their own private MRI test send one kind. How do they expect them to pay for it and how reliable would it be? Also, they already had a team that played in the qualifiers in February where 3 failed the MRI tests. So we can conclude that the team has not been hurriedly p...

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 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 teac...

Re: U17 team crisis- Manu Garba having problems

Is this about the NFF or the endemic corruption of Nigerians? More than half the team failed the MRI. These are 15, 16 yr old kids already misrepresenting themselves. You’ve said it all. Some of those kids would have presented forged school documents. I know a guy who is well above 30 but his passp...

Because the NFF wanted him to choose one of them and he said No.

Re: “There is still bad blood” – Amunike makes first comments since losing Super Eagles job to Finidi

Amuneke can be given the U20/23 Job, both categories have been stinking up the joint lately. He gets to prove himself in an U-20 World Cup or the Olympics, both of which are World standard with good exposure and perfect for CV building. He must not wait for the SE! Good points.

INTRIGUES ARE NOT LIMITED TO NIGERIA OR THE NFF It's in everything worldwide, not just sports. We don't know if there's any in this case and if there is, it's not necessarily ill-motivated - there may be legitimate reasons to pick one person over another, especially if only one can be picked.

He and other regulars didn’t have to start in the friendly matches. The issue was Finidi not giving some of the others any minutes over the 2 matches.

Plan B (partial use of home based players) has being activated. And he has to hold a full camp to identify the players that should replace the &qu...
