Wahala no dey finish!
Speedy recovery.
I feel very sad for Frederick’s, that the dynamic, field marshall of Defence will miss both Afcon and the World Cup in his prime. He has been a great revelation by Chelle, who should try and get more fitter and younger talents into his aging, slow pace and tiring squad- paticularly in the midfield and even the defence- with Frederick’s absence.
Speedy recovery Federico Benjamin.
What’s wrong with this team and set. I hope I am not thinking some strange things.
Oshimen missed about four matches due to injury during the qualifiers. That ensured we did not qualify form the group.
Ola aina has a long term injury
About two years ago we thought these two bright lights like orbam and Boniface will come good for them but no. After they dazzled in Europe, they are no where to be found.
Ademola lookman is supposed to do the magic in oshimen absence but he is inconsistent.
Iwobi has really caused the team more damage than the good he has done over the years.
A captain in troos ekong that is always filled with mistakes. His mistakes and oshimen injury helped us to miss automatic qualification from the group.
I am sure oshimen will likely miss Afcon
And now funny and also strange, Frederick of all people.
And we want to win Afcon.
This set needs our prayers. This may just be a wasted generation.
They have missed two world cups back to back.
They have not won Afcon.
Some of their best legs may not likely play in the world cup.
And yet the team has one of the best strikers in world football today..
He will be available in Jesus name CS stop your ill wish campaign. What a disgusting headline!!!
For the past couple of years,our bests never available whenever we need them.
To be candid,since the unjust sacking of Rohr,we keep having bad luck…
I am gutted if this is real news because he is our best defender from the blue. May God help Nigeria, we need to start praying for our nation because this is painful. Our defense and midfield is our headache in Nigeria.
