Oh, thank God for his mercy.
I will advise you Osimhen to turn down any invitation from the national team.
This is not the best time to honoured an invitation from the national team. The time will soon come that you will be available for selections.
You need a total concentration in your club.
Oga Rohr has so many options to choose from.
Please and please, be focused and never relents. Surely, the goals will soon come by God’s grace.
I love you so much Osimhen and Nigerians love you too. I know you love your country but this is not the time to honoured the invitation.
God bless you more Osimhen. God bless Nigerians and Nigeria!!!
Brazil vs France 98 world cup final, roland de lima feinted twice before the final. so omo9ja you be enemy of progress we know your type.
Who knows, this injury might have been fabricated by Napoli to protect their prized asset. 81.3 million euros is no joke.
Imagine a club sending a player they acquired for that sum out for national assignment. The player gets injured on national duty, and is shipped back to the club for treatment and rehabilitation. That is bad business for the club. They have to spend money to treat the player, and the player is not available for important games, while they are stuck paying his weekly wages. They are losing a lot of money, and it doesn’t surprise me that they are now taking measures to keep Osimhen away from national assignments. They will likely only be willing to release him for major tournaments. We might have to get used to doing without him for qualifiers.
The NFF is responsible for this situation. If we had better pitches to play on, good health insurance and health care for the players, prompt payment of bonuses, etc, clubs like Napoli would be more willing to cooperate with us. As it stands, cooperating with Nigeria is bad for Napoli football business. Napoli is not a charitable organization or a nonprofit. They are in business to make money. They will not allow NFF and their wahala to sprinkle sand into their garri.
@Omo9ja Your type feels if he doesn’t honour invitation Rohr will fail. So that you and your cohort can have the evil convention you have been waiting for lol
Are u attacking him because u don’t like his opinions?what he said now is the right thing for osimehn to do,what is he coming to do.we only need just one point to qualify and u want him to be invited because of one point.haba.he should stay and get himself back.
Hatred is worse than witchcraft, it swallows your sense of reasoning and leave you empty. @SD you need salvation.
I am absolutely appalled that all of this is happening to Osimhen after Gernot Rohr played him against Sierra Leone when we had Paul Onuachu. If Onuachu had been used, Osimhen would not have sustained the injury that kept him out for many months. Rohr needs to leave. We can no longer have a Primary School Physical Education teacher masquerading as the coach of the Super Eagles. I will be lobbying all my contacts in Aso Rock to help us get rid of this German Dinosaur. Ordinary Brazil he can’t defeat. Samson Siasia would have raised a team to defeat Brazil 4 – 0. Ordinary Ukraine he can’t beat. So why are we wasting our time. The coach of Eyimba will raise a team to win the world cup at the first attempt. The wretched man could not even beat little Croatia and Argentina. Are these ones teams? You can not trust this man to do anything. I am a true Nigerian, I pay my taxes. I will not receive lectures from Nigerians who have fled the country for greener pastures in Europe and America. These are cowards. I live in Okokomaiko. I had the chance to go to America but I declined in what is an act of pure patriotism. I love my country and I will not open my eyes and allow Gernot Rohr to ruin the legacy of greater coaches like Sunday Oliseh and Aigbogun. Rohr has failed. It is time to go to the drawing board and get a son of the soil. A Nigerian like myself who stayed behind to build this great country of ours. Arise o Compatriot, Nigeria calls obey.
OK, we will take your case to National Assembly… Mr patriotism
People that left the country for greener pastures in Europe and America mostly come back home to create jobs for people like you that the government can’t provide jobs for. You had the chance to go to America, but you turned it down that’s why you’re still living in Okokomaiko. If na Lekki or Banana Island you dey live now I for say Naija better for you wella. LMAO!! Keep deceiving yourself in the name of patriotism. The real patriots are the ones that went, saw and conquer and thereby creating jobs for ignorant people like you.
@Ay, I think he’s just being sarcastic. He’s pro-Rohr. Read his lines again – although I think he kind of muddled up his sarcasm badly that it could be interpreted either way.
You snitch…. Hahahaha.
Rohr leave Osimhen out of the upcoming games, let him rediscover himself. Dont add more pressure on him. Dont expose him to more potential injuries on our poor pitches. We have players who can win the remaining two games without Osimhen. Let the young man be
A clueless coach like oga Rohr can’t do without osihme, in fact he will use that as an excuse in case of failure.
I’m just waiting for his next list of invited players, so I can assess his decision making more fully.
Having a good pitch is something we really need to give priority in our football, otherwise we can’t get the best from huge talents we’ve got.
Hahahahah,……”A clueless coach like oga Rohr can’t do without osimhen”, but clueless fellows like you insult Rorh day and night for “doing without Osimhen” at AFCON. You really dey clueless sha…!
