Igbos should leave SS out of their rubish

The useless comments by Oleku,akpos1 etc in respect of supper eagles of SE&SS (Biafra) do not represent our own standing in SS, maybe it is that of their own SE (Biafra). Oleku, Akpos1, Otile etc please don't drag SS into unnecessary hatred and insult u're creating for urselves (igbos) from d rest of Nigeria. We want Naija to progress and if worse come to worst by breaking Nigeria into pieces, be sure that u ndigbos (SE) are strictly on ur own and d rest of SS also on our own.

The carelessness of the

The carelessness of the Ethiopians led to Keshi's interim joy. Ivory Coast will pay Keshi in hard coins.

Leave Keshi to do his job

Please Leave Keshi to do his job. Every Nigerian want to be an arm-chair coach. Tobi and co, which Siasia are you calling for, the one who could not qualify the Super Eagles for ordinary AFCON. I beg make una shut una mouth, if you have nothing reasonable to say. Even Christian Chukwu, Amodu Shuaibu qualified Nigeria for every Afcon, but Siasia could not, even for once and yet u call fo bring him back?

Igbos should stop demeaning SS

re

Mr SE/SS or whatever ur name is,where do U belong. SE or SS, u re too sentimental. Who knows if there is oil in ur community even.Do you think a country like nigeria can't survive without oil. In revenue today,lagos state puts more income into d federal reserve nd oil exploratoin will commence there by next year. There is oil in ogun state in addition to other resources they av including lime stone. Is ondo state also an oil producing state yet they don't make noise. U refuse to address d source of our problem which is corruption and illiteracy in many areas. All leaders in Nigeria are corrupt nd don't want d progress of this country nd even if Nigeria breaks up in to 20 God for bid,the problem will not end until we all change our mentality. God bless Nigeria.

Super Eagle with a wing

I do not have confidence in this Eagle as she cannot fly over Cote 'd Ivore. Keshi is not the kind of man to take us to final. Siasia is still the best. Anyway congrat to Nigeria for qualifying for the next round.

pls refrain from giving us a bad name

am sure it is not the same match we both saw but per chance it is, i want to say you are the biggest disgrace to the SE or SS. its your like that makes the rest of nigeria distrust us so much that they fear to allow the presidency come to us. and people like you are the reason Nigeria is in its present State. Am sure if Naija were a real being. it would have given you out for adoption.

SR has failed to make a new

SR has failed to make a new report on its web page of the result and the qualification of the eagles team. This act surely was done intentionally. SR reported the scoreline of the team past two games immediately the match was over but has refused to do same today. It seems today's scoreline didn't go down well with Sowore and his SR hence the reason why they decided not to report such. They will have only reported the game details if this boys didn't qualify. By now all blame will have been on Keshi's choice of selecting the best football legs in naija who happens to come from the industrious SE&SS region. Journalism shouldn't be sentimental but SR has failed to prove so today. How sad!.

Keshi is Not Fit fo Eagles: Siasia is still the Best Nig Coach

I am not sure how many people see the Eagles the way I do. Even if they win this Cup, they are a below average team playing in an average competition. The Eagles have no lethal striker. No creative midfielder. Two cheap goals via penalties say it all. Keshi was not sure Shola Ameobi was coming yet he allowed personal differences get between him and his job and he further reduced his firing power by dropping Osazeme. Which coach in his right senses does that? As ill-tempered as Mario Balotelli, his coach knows he needs his services and Osaze is no where near Mario.

Go Keshi, Go Go super 'Biafra' eagles...

Naijas should know the silverware era is right here again. With the way these boys played and moved the ball round the pitch and I can tell you that the elephants of cote d'ivoire are in big trouble. The 1994/96 days are back and naijas should be happy that atlast we have found that winning spirit. The days when Hausa-fulanis and Yorubas bribed their way into the national team is over. For many years naija national team has been full of heartbreaks, disgrace and shame. But Stephen Keshi has finally reformed the team and has made sure it's only those with character and brilliance who are giving the opportunity to represent us in the ongoing AFCON. No more nepotism and mago mago. Hardwork is the only criteria acceptable in getting a shirt to play in the field. With this current brilliant team made up of only SE&SS citizens one can only imagine what the rest of naija will become, not only in soccer but in all other spheres of life should we seccede from that shit country. Just imagine!

PERSONALLY I DON'T WATCH

PERSONALLY I DON'T WATCH NAIJA PLAY LIVE MATCHES SINCE AFTER ATLANTA 96 HOWEVER, WHO WILL BET ME WE ARE NOT GOING BEYOND QUARTER FINALS ?

Eagles should do more work

While i rejoice with the Eagles, methink they were largely complacent after scoring those two goals. they should have pressed for more goals. i also think they should do more work, i mean real work in view of the fact that they are to meet Ivory Coast. If this is the kind of game they will play when they meet IC, then am not sure we will pass that stage. God bless Super Eagles

Keshi Lacks Technical Skills

Technically, Steven Keshi is shallow. Most African coaches cannot read games which is actually what the job is all about. Nigeria needs a foreign coach, simple.

Am disappointed

I am disappointed, we are but failure in all ramifications not just soccer. May God Almighty help my country.

Keshi is simply technically deficient

Keshi and his crew is technically deficient. i don't think this is right coaching crew for naija.

PERSONALLY AM BEGINING TO

PERSONALLY AM BEGINING TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THIS EAGLE.
