Afam4eva:
I still keep asking myself how this guy made it to the team. is it because he was half caste? How can someone that was playing for a street team in England make the national team of Nigeria. Who was even coaching us then?

Afam4eva:
Some people actually thought Oruma was better than Okocha. To each his own.

Smartsyn: this list is not complete..



Where is Ifeanyi Udeze...

UnknownT: Did you forget PHILIP OSONDU?

jibbish: Onigbingbe.... D seller of Snails don kom

Afam4eva: There was another flop by the name of Chukwu Ndukwe that was called up by former SE coach, Christian Chukwu. I don't know how on earth that guy found his wat to the team. He probably was Chukwu's relation. That guy had 100 chances and was only able to convert 1.

Around that same period there was a guy named something Ekwueme that played 11 for us. He was not as bad as Ndukwe but was not what we needed.

chucky234: Udeze kept Babayaro out of the team and made CAF AFCON XI at the 2002 nations cup in Mali, he was never a flop.

WildChild00:

he last played for Nigeria in the Saudi 89 Junior world cup, he did well, but he signed a life contract with a beligium club, so I heard, and the club hardly release him, wen invited to play for Naija.

UnknownT: lol! What I heard, he was signed by anderletch, he was being fed but he was only 'growing' on d tummy . It was then discovered that he was WAY above the junior team he played. Ended up as a janitor in an airport (wat I heard oh, not sure)

Hemanwel: How on earth would anyone here not remember Manga Muhammed??
That dude chases the ball,catches it,and leaves the ball behind.

Syenite: 1) Efan Ekoku: Widely tipped prio to 1994 AFCON to be better than Yekini.Only game he played was against Zaire in Qfinal where he missed a very glaring chance. He was subsequently returned to d bench and fastened with a seat belt. That was d only game he played for Nigeria even though he made the party to 1994 world cup.

2) Jonathan Akpoborie:The 1985 U17 winner, managed to break into the Super Eagles in late 1990s. He den had to contend with our then inform striker, Victor Ikpeba.Akpoborie saw few games and never really lived up to his rating. Things got worse for him with the coming of Julius Aghahowa and Ikpeba's former U17 team mate, Benedict Akuegbu. Akpoborie lost his place in d Super Eagles.

3) Victor Agali: Nigeria's 2000 Olympics hit man when he paired with Aghahowa, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Pius Ikedia. Yekini left a very big shoe to b filled and Nigerians believed the huge striker was d man. He did feature in 2002 AFCON bt was sent home due to disciplinery action after first game in 2004 AFCON after we lost our opening game to Morocco. Agali and Babayaro kissed good bye to the Super Eagles after dat incidence.

4) Batholomew Ogbeche: One of d greatest errors in Nigeria's world cup selection history. The then 18yrs old Ogbeche had just entered lime light after a one season performance at PSG. A bicycle kick that saw d ball hit d cross-bar in a pre-world cup friendly against Scotland was all Coach Onigbinde saw that made him include Ogbeche in d party to 2002 WC and d rest is history.

5) Christian Ndubuisi Obodo: Fondly called bundle of skills was Ogbeche's team mate at 2001AYC. He was seen as a likely replacement for JJ Okocha. He hardly lived up to the expectations from Nigerians and was dropped from Super Eagles.

6) Joseph Akpala: Emerged highest goal scorer in d Belgian league for 2 straight seasons. He finally got a SE call up after so much pressure on d coaching crew. He did not leave up to his ranking and so was dropped only to b recalled for the 2013 confederations cup in Brazil. You and I saw his performance at dat tourney.

bigass: There was this guy that people thought could replace Okocha. He wears 10 plaits his hair. he became so fat. i have forgotten his name

Dear family and friends, as i am writing just know that all is not well.
I woke up this morning only to discover something is after me. this thing has being ongoing for almost a year now. Anyways just last week i decided to make pancake, only to discover the pancake was awful, i checked my self well only to find out that THEY haven't stopped chasing me.
