What a player. A deadly striker in front of goal.
A goal puncher. Very intelligent and a quick-thinking striker.
Why has Dessers not been given another chance in the green-white-green colour?
This Dessers is very consistent in every game.
Apart from Oshimen, Kolawole should be in second position. Boniface has been missing a lot of chances. Nobody talks, but just because Kolawole missed a chance, he’s a bad striker.
I know in a few days, Eguavoen will release his Afcon list. Is he going to ignore Kolawole as usual? Let’s wait and see. I’m proud of you, Desserts. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
I used to regard Boniface very highly, but these days he looks overweight and uninterested.
If it is to sit down with comedians and be making jokes, ehen, na dat one e sabi. Until I start seeing the old Boniface, I think we should keep him on ice for now. A fit, hungry Boniface is always welcome in the team, but this Boniface of nowadays no be am at all at all.
For now, I think we should focus more on the likes of Ilenikhena, Orban and Akpom. These are the guys along with Osimhen that I think deserve places in the SE.
If Solanke is willing to switch allegiance, that’s another top option for us.
As for Kolawole Dessers, I want him to keep pushing, keep working hard. He disappointed a lot of people with his performance the last time he was invited, so he has to earn it all over again. But he’s on the right track! If he stays consistent, then other SE opportunities may be on the horizon.
He has been consistent but he really messed up the last time. But I also believe if Boniface gets called up then he deserves to be called up too.
### THERE SHALL BE A REWARD OF INVITATION FOR REGULAR & CONSISTENT PLAYERS INTO THE SUPER EAGLE SQUAD.
* BUT IN A COUNTRY WHERE PROFESSOR/PHD HOLDER IS DEPUTIZE TO NO-WAEC HOLDER.
* A COUNTRY WHERE INCOMPETENCE IS BEEN CONSIDERED FOR COMPETENCE. THEN, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT.
### Is it not a sentimental curse???????????
AND LATER RUN, WE WILL BE BEGGING GOD TO COME & HELP US, WHERE AS GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDE A BETTER PLATFORM (in a class of Dessers, Akpom,Orban etc) FOR US TO HELP OURSELVES.
*** IN OTHER TIME (against Benin & Rwanda), DUE TO NATION SENTIMENTAL CURSES, WE INVITED IHEANACHO(irregular/inconsistent player), AWONIYI(just recuperated from injury), AHEAD OF TOP FORM PLAYERS LIKE AKPOM, ORBAN, DESSERS. WE NEED TO TO HELP OURSELVES IN THIS COUNTRY AND DESTROY SENTIMENT IN OUR MINDSET. LET
GIVE HONOUR TO WHO HONOUR DESERVED
*** DURING GERNOT ROHR’S TIME, HE ALWAYS BASED HIS INVITATION ON CURRENT FORM, IN RESPECTED OF AGE, EGO, SENIORITY OR EXPERIENCE.
