  • Ladan Boso, Please select the best leg.
    Don’t look at people’s face or try to please anybody.

    Nigerians are not happy with men football teams presently.

    Do everything in your power to restore the trust and hope of Nigerians in this team committed into your hand.

    God bless Nigeria

  • This is a ridiculous arrangements. NFF just putting up a team three weeks to major tournament taking place in Niamey Niger Republic. Somebody said the team has been training secretly which I did not believe and my doubt has been confirmed. I will always say it that the weak area of the Pinnick administration is the area of decision making. Very, very poor and this will never allow us to make appreciable impact in any competitions. Nigeria should just get ready for another disappointment. The group contain Nigeria, Ghana and Burkina Faso. This is indeed a bad arrangements and organisation.

  • Bosso Gambles With Division Two Players For Flying Eagles

    With a few weeks away from the WAFU B under-20 championship billed for Niamey Benin Republic, controversial coach of the Flying Eagles Ladan Bosso has tapped into the well of Nigeria’s division 2 league (Nigeria National League) to draw out ten players in his initial list.

    It remains to be seen how many of these players will make the cut when the list is further trimmed down.

    The Nigeria National League list breakdown has two goalkeepers, four defenders and four midfielders.

    This is a mammoth development for the league showing its meteoric growth, increasing profile and highly competitive nature in the last few years.

    Should Nigeria progress all the way to the world cup tournament proper – a big if as a large bevy of Nigeria fans have zero faith in Bosso’s coaching credentials – it will be fascinating to see how many NNL players last that long.

    But for now, they have to prove themselves. They have to show they have what it takes to rub shoulders in elite football. Already an unpopular coach, this gamble might yet define or defame Bosso further.

    NNL players Invited To The Flying Eagles:

    1. Jimoh Saheed (Goalkeeper) – Adoration

    2. Chijioke Aniagboso(Goalkeeper) –Giant Brillars

    3. Frederick Benjamin(Defender) –ABS FC

    4. Okoli Augustine(Defender) – Giant Brillars

    5. Gabriel Adewara (Defender) – Ikorodu City

    6. Uzochukwu Ezeobi (Defender) –Zamfara United

    7. Divine Nwachukwu (Midfielder) – Adoration

    8. Anas Hassan(Midfielder)– Vandrezzer FC

    9. Sulaiman Kirki (Midfielder) –Kebbi United FC

    10.Aminu Yahaya (Midfielder) – Nnewi United FC

    An army of stars led by a Lion will defeat an army of CHICKENS LED BY A RAM Any day, anywhere, any time

  • In the good old days, Nigeria junior teams stayed in camp for between 8 months to one year before major competition and you can see how well they have blended and understood themselves.3 weeks to a major competition, that is already a recipe for disaster.The coach as usual will take all the blame.
