Why do players keep on rejecting Nigeria?

[Otuoma Wuon Ogolo]

The most famous was the Bakassi native who has since resigned to a fate of spending his playing years at Inter on the bench. Now Owomoyela rejects Nigeria ! A country can only take so much rejection. Airwolex or SUYA, what's up with that?
Does Owomoyela know that the Germans will reject him? Does he not know that he is an Auslander in Germany?

Apparently they don't want to be associated with all the pains and pangs of the SE shirt.......

There are many advantages of having a Country of virile males and greast population - for every Owomoyela there is an Ordiah or Abbey. You will notice that nobody is even upset about the development. If Oliech defects right now it will set an already moribund Kenyan football back by 50 years.

We don't need them. Omoyelawa can play for Germany of he likes. That is his choice. I don't care because we will find better players. Good riddance.

Airwolex,

This is not a population contest.

Abbey too? that clubless 4 div. player. na him you take to replace Owomoyela?. That's the more reason why you needed Owomoyela even more than you realize...

Muoko; did Shaeffer not cap a division three Chinese league player?

Otuoma; it is not a population contest but it does help that there is a steady production line of horses waiting to fill any position!

Wrong question. The issue is, you are dismissing Owo's turning down of Nigeria as a non-event but lining nobodies as fitting the shoe....

Gentlemen,as you can see by your membership of this site discovering new talents is not a Nigerian problem.I truly dont two hoots or a toss whether Owomoyela comes or goes.We'll find a player of his hue or better in a week or less if we set our minds to it.Nigeria is not missing the 6 that chose to play for Benin or the likes of Emmanuel Adebayo and Adekanmi Olufade of Togo who both hail from Ejigbo in Osun state of Nigeria.Of course,you know that Owo is not in the class of Adebayo.We are not missing carlton Cole,Ugo Ehiogu et al.So,let Owo go.Fare him well!! He will be back abegging.Ask the Fash!

HOW MANY PLAYERS HAVE REALLY REJECTED NIGERIA?

[Senator WIRES]

This one is not JONGO UGALI :oops:with SPINACH HABARI AKO?

[ola34]

HOW MANY PLAYERS HAVE REALLY REJECTED NIGERIA?

If you play in the senior team of another country you cannot play for another country again for life.

[Fourteen]

They reject because:

1. They don't understand the NFA "politics".

2. They are scared that they are not good enough to remain in the
Nigerian team for any period of time.

The second reason is why they use the threat of playing for Nigeria to raise thier profile, and then jump at the next offer that comes thier way.

I just saw a clip of the news on SABC. The clip was about the Kenyan communication minister canceling the license of the Econet. They went on to show mobile handsets on display in some shops.

I was shocked when they showed on of the Motorola used in the 80s as a new model. The Ariel was so long. You will think they are trying to receive signals from mars.

Thank you my brother, i was about to say the same thing. Most of this foreign born players are not interested in playing for Nigeria. But they can use Nigeria as a means to attract attention from their country of birth team coaches. Genius! I will do the same thing!I have three nationalities and will call useless CCC to declear my intention to play for Nigeria! He probably has never heard of me but knowing him, he will include me in his next list of players invited for the Eagles next match!

Otuoma, how come Kenya long distance runners keep rejecting Kenya?

[SUYA]

#$% FYI when Germany came calling.....I picked Nigeria. So not all great players pick Europe over Africa. Pls use me as an example when another of your runners tries to defect just to get 3 square meals.

Kenya got wired long before Nigeria. When Naija only had 10,000 land lines in a population of 135M strong, Kenya had over 50% of our tiny population covered.
We were the 2nd most connected or digitally aware country in Africa after South Africa. We still retain that position with pride.
Cell phones or Mobiles just recently went to Naija. Before then, it was frustrating making any phone call to anyone. Only 419 calls seem to get thru somehow.
Please respect African countries which have are leaps and bounds ahead of you in other areas. We all understand the difficulties Naija has gone thru. But how long will we give OBJ to deliver so that Naija can quit being a sleeping giant? Us Kenyans will take matters into our own hands if Naija keeps on coming short in areas that matter.

SUYA,

When is the last time you touched a football? Let us keep this thread truthful.

[SUYA]

If u must know approximately 12 days ago when I blocked Adus sizzler with 1 hand while hanging out with DC United.

Meanwhile your last success with anything round was when you chased a slippery caterpillar accross your plate with a ball of Ugali.

You pulled a "Kaluysha" in DC? Great!

Owomoyela is not Maradona. He is just a decent professional, so there is no need shedding tears.

Still .... no offence, but I am tired of our boastful "we have abundant talents" talk. At the end of the day, it is either Sodje (and Sh1ttu) at the World Cup (and no bench to speak of), an unfit Isaac at the Nations Cup (because we had only 2 CBs), or an ad hoc squad for qualifiers if 8 first teamers withdraw.

All I am saying is we need as many "good" players as we can find. Even if we have X of them, it would always be good to have X+1. There is no point to acting as if we have enough players that we don't need any more.

East Africans will not eat anything just for the heck of it. We choose our foods carefully.

Dude, sukuma wiki grows wild, and is munched on by the occasional goat. But then again, you wouldn't know that because you are not Kenyan.

[SUYA]

Is that what they call caterpillars in Kenya.....shrimp? Please dont make me post a certain recipe here for a certain soup that was served by a certain country during Wold Bank Day here in DC - nearly causing her to be expelled from the OAU.
