After the playoffs, we need a few friendlies to try out new legs. Orban is definitely one to consider. For now, we have many strikers, but only one consistent scorer. Orban just might help solve that problem.
Right again, Pompeii. Wisdom is your wife, knowledge is your girlfriend.
Heaven bless Pompeii and all smitten keyboard warriors. Lols
Hahaha,, Igbekun!
From Arara to Tarara. Parara, parara!
I see you’ve obtained a new identity. The multiple identity warrior marches on. It must consume a lot of your time and energy maintaining all these identities, around 20 or more now. You even have a conversation with yourself at times. Some would call that insanity. Well dome ehn. I wish you well as you persist in this bizarre personal crusade of yours.
@Pompei, Gift Orban’s case is actually a nationality issue. That’s why he wasn’t used the last time he got invited. Togo insists he’s already cap-tied to them, but the boy has repeatedly said he’s eligible and willing to play for Nigeria. This is something the NFF needs to sort out quickly.
Orban is a top talent — one that should be central to the next generation of Super Eagles players. But Togo hasn’t given up on him, and if we don’t act fast, they’ll swoop in and give him the international football he’s craving. NFF needs to move now before it’s too late.

Papafem, I don’t know why it’s taking the NFF so long to sort this out. This is something that should have been done by now.
The player has chosen Nigeria. He doesn’t need convincing. Or are they waiting for brown envelope? IS this another David Alaba situation in the making?
Most of our strikers are of a similar type. Orban, with his stickiness, close center of gravity and trickery, brings something different. With the Osimhen/Arokodare combo not working as expected, pairing Osimhen with Orban could be a more viable option. Strength in depth is what makes a strong squad. Nothing wrong with having Orban team up with Osimhen , Akor and others to give us more attacking options.
Lol, meant to say stockiness, not stickiness.
