Anonymous said...

@mistr Tee: Moron!! Who told u Keshi is from the South-East? U represent that breed of Nigerians that needs to be annihilated if Nigeria is to make any progress towards achieving her full potential. Instead of commending his use of home-based players, all ur stupidity could afford u is to say that they are all from a certain region of Nigeria rather than asking whether they are the best players the NPL has to offer? SMH!!

How many of those foreign base players actually play a 90mins match in their various clubs, some of them have not kicked the round leather except in training, we shall be watching and wishing them well. Nigerian football has taken a downward slop for over a decade.

Mister Tee, who told you that easterners don't play in Kano Pillars and Lobi Stars?? Since the history of Nigerian football began, hasn't it been obvious that the east producers the majority of quality nigerian players??? Kanu Nwankwo, Christian Chukwu, Jay-Jay Okocha, Stephen Keshi, Emmanuel Emunike, Ben Iroha...the list goes on! Stop hating and support the national team!!! Unless you are from Mali!!

Taiwo said...

hisss. no single yoruba boy there and we know all those muslim yoruba boys are the ones who have ever put naija on the map as winners. E.g Rahshid Yekini, Peter rufai, fatai atere, odegbami....All muslim YORUBA boys. I am not from either of these tribe nor religion but use your head coaches....

This selection is trbal based. Almost 98% of the players are fron the East. Why coach. Nigerians and their mentality even with all his exposure. Its in the blood.

Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa, I've got no issues with the Nigerian squad so long as selection has been a fair process and we come back with 1st, 2nd or 3rd position. I wish them all the luck in the world. Abeg let's leave tribe out of it. This is one time all Nigerians are UNITED :-)

All these comments just proved that the average Nigerian is a pessimist,all they need is ur support,and if u can't do dat go to the mortuary and take some seats,what should countries like Egypt and cameroun do for not qualifying for the previous AFCON and dis one.una go just open una dirty mouth dey talk rubbish.

YORUBA PEOPLE AND TRIBALISM. MAYBE THERE ARE NO YORUBAS ON THE TEAM BECAUSE THEY CANT PLAY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. THE COACH IS NOT IGBO YET SOME OF YOU ARE FOAMING FROM ALL SIDES OF YOUR MOUTHS.

@HISS...ITS OBVIOUS YOU ARE YORUBA AND ALSO A MUSLIM TO BOOT SO STOP SOUNDING STUPID. YOU CANT HIDE YOUR HATRED FOR THE IGBOS BUT BEST BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL KEEP SHINING AND RISING ABOVE THE REST. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE IGBOS THE WINNERS AND Y'ALL THE LOSERS BECAUSE YOUR DAYS ARE NOT COMPLETE IF YOU DO NOT MENTION THEM. JEALOUS MUCH. BITTER PEOPLE.

ANY CURSE SENT MY WAY WILL GO BACK TO THE SENDER AND THE SENDER'S LINEAGE.
