Re: Golden Eaglets’ 19-man squad revealed for WAFU B U-17 championship
Wow, what's happening with all these names....Abdulganiyu....Karshe Cletus...Abdulmuiz....Qurib...Vowero Arierhi? Are traditional names evolving in Nigeria, or are these just editor's typos?

Re: FINIDI GEORGE, SUPER EAGLES COACH: FOOTBALL IS HARD AND TAKES IT'S TOLL
Finidi’s temperament is similar to that of late coach Amodu, he doesn’t get too up or down, he’s even tempered but deceptively extremely focused and ambitious. A lot of other coaches would’ve been happy earning fx in Spain and stuck it out with Mallorca youth teams hoping some day God will bless th...

Re: Inside story of why NFF picked Finidi George over Amuneke for Super Eagles job
Why do people insist on calling him Amuneke? Am I missing something? 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. Ok O! Its not “okay o” at all. He actually came out publicly to c...

Re: The NFF should give Finidi a contract that will end after the WC 2026
I agree that a semi final clause is stupid. But YOU SUPPORTED IT when it was for Peseiro. Should there be a benchmark? If so, what should it be? I think it should be more subjective. Ie. Are we playing well and making satisfactory progress ? For example suppose Aliou Cisse was under such a contract...

Why not Finidi George? He is in the running for back to back npfl titles. Has anyone else accomplished quite as much in just three years of npfl coaching in recent times

the responses so far are exactly why we need a coach that counters the Nigerian element of oddities.

If anyone dares to suggest or entertain the preposterous idea that it's somehow acceptable for Nigeria to miss out on qualifying for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, despite earning only 2 points from 2 matches out of 10, they must be unequivocally labeled as adversaries of our beloved country.

I have said this before; I am less interested in the dichotomy of local vs foreign coach or Oyinbo vs non-oyinbo. I think this too unintelligent (as I weary of using the word "dumb"). My yearning was for us to hire the best coach that we can afford. I did state that there are ONLY a few N...
