I can't just believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heartland played a champions league match during the weekend and Kickoff Nigeria of all websites did not write anything concerning the match. Collins Udoh, please stop embarrassing us!!!!!!!!!!!

Freeman: 2010-08-31 10:34

@Flex, actually it was posted. You have to go to KickoffSouthafrica to see it.
I think the headlines read something like this "Heartland restore hope" or something.
But as I said, it was on kickoff southafrica not kickoffnigeria.

For the love of the game!

Azubuike: 2010-08-31 10:41

@Freeman, yes it was posted on kickoff southafrica and will be posted on kickoffnigeria at least a week after as usual.

Should Eguavoen perform wonderfully well against Madagascar, the NFF will be much willing to offer him the SE job - Yes, at a much lower rate. No one should be deceived, Eguavoen is a willing horse and will accept it.

Siasia should be considerate and allow logical reasoning prevail over short term material greed without being inadvertently expensive. This is his opportunity but anything can happen in Nigeria and if he (Siasia) loses the SE job, the heavens will not fall. afterall,
1.Amodu was sacked few weeks to the WC
2.Lagerback came - stayed effectively for just 4wks & was paid $1.5m
3.Sanni Lulu and Ogunjobi left
4.The Presidency wielded the big stick- later made a volte-face
5.Maigari won a verbose election
and Now....ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN...Siasia needs prayers to get this job!!

Weather is SIASIA or Eguavoen any of them can handle it.Some times you can not blame coaches because if coach teach another thing players play rubbish and you blame coach.

Thank U

@Felix, @Freeman, @Azubuike
This is how to know journalists who are Anti-Fans of a coach,club,or country


I experienced this twice when i watched Man U match, the first was when Man U defeated chelsea at the recent comunnity shield, the sports moderator of HiTV station was a chelsea fan all the highlight he showed was onnly on chelsea attempts. he never showed one bit of United attempts only one goal was shown



another experience was from sky sports3 where ManU drew to Fulham on an away match. The sports moderator whom i knew was working with NTA has been an anti United Fan, it was even clear in his highlights where he only showed Fulham attempts and neglected that of United, the only highlight about United he could show was the foul commited by a United defender on a Fulham player in United 18-yard box



Another ugly experienc was from The south African TV station "E" television. when Nigeria Under 17 won the FIFA world cup and such news or commentry was not mentioned in all there football TV programs and sports news of that week, even a caller from Zimbabwe called in one of there programs and accused them for not speaking any thing on there fellow affricans recent victory but on other football news

@Billion
It will be the highest stupidity and foolishness of the highest order if NFF gives Eguavon the Super Eagles job for just winning Madagascar.

Winning Madagascar does not even need a coach to do that, even 9 men will be enough to beat them, so i think it will be political reason to appoint him as coach for just winning Madagascer.

On the side of Amodu, if Mai-Garri should appoint him as coach i think it will be the same ethnical reason wich Sani Lulu used to make him coach even attempting to retain him after his poor coaching perfomance at this years African Cup of Nations

@ billion,am having problem understanding what this line means, "Siasia should be considerate and allow logical reasoning prevail over short term material greed without being inadvertently expensive".

@Billion,
am shocked to hear you say it is wrong for a black man to demand what he thinks he needs to do a good job? Our last two western coaches where given all the support they needed and paid handsomely, now Siasia want some money so he can hire the best hands which will enable him do the best job he could, He wants the same total support giving to the last two western coaches, he thus not want a situation where he will have to run back to the NFF all the time when he should be on a practice field with his player, he thus not want the ineptitude of the guys in the NFF to hinder his plans for the eagles, now Billion said, Siasia is not considerate, for what? I don’t know, Billion now said Siasia no get common sense, and that Siasia is after short term material greed, why is that? Because he wants a flat to leave in, a cook to cook his food, I think his family is in USA, and a car and a driver to travel the length of our great nation in search of quality players. Whet is material greed about that? Do you want him to cook for himself, and then drive to Kano from Abuja, from there back to Lagos, Asaba; he will be too tied to work after that. Mr Billion may God give you the fortitude to know your worth and the wisdom to know what you need to do a great job without distractions and hindrance from left and right. Siasia is not expensive my brother, the old NFF always complain about lack of fund, now did you not see the numbers of hidden bank accounts with all the Naira`s and dollars. And again if Siasia did not get the job, that’s not the end of his life.

Really nice of Danny ****tu, to come up with this idea. Enjoy!


Nigeria defender ****tu plans for Nigerian youngsters

Danny ****tu says he wants to give back to the Nigerian youth
Nigeria defender Daniel ****tu has set up a competition that will see one lucky Nigerian footballer win a year's contract with a top Belgian side.

The Soccer Star Project will consist of regional trials throughout Nigeria from which one winner will be chosen.

****tu, who is on the books of Bolton Wanderers in the English Premier League, says he wants Nigerian youngsters to fulfil their ambitions.

"I'm only interested in seeing people live their dreams," he told BBC Sport.

Open trials will be held in Enugu, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and Lagos with ten players aged between 16-24 years chosen from each region.

The 50 young footballers will then head for a final round of trials in December from which one winner will emerge.

The lucky youngster will be given a one-year contract with Belgian first division side Royal Charleroi.

Two other players will win football scholarships to an American university.

According to ****tu, who was in the Nigerian team at the World Cup in South Africa, the idea stems from his desire to give something back to the Nigerian youth.

"Those of us that play for the national team are not necessarily the best players, we are just the lucky ones," ****tu said.

"I know how hard it is to earn a place in Europe and because of this many youngsters haven't had the opportunity to show [what they can do].

"I was rejected five times when I was growing up myself so I know how it feels.

"This is not like any other academy or game show, so only hard work and ability will influence the scouts," he continued.

****tu says he also hopes the trial will lead to more youngsters receiving educational scholarships.

"There is also an opportunity for some people to earn a four-year scholarship at an American university or college," ****tu said.

"Scouts will be coming from the USA for the final trial and if some fail to make the football grade then their educational intelligence could land them scholarships.

"We are not just looking at football ability but also at character, attitude and sound educational background."

Each of the top three players from the final trial will also get a cash prize of about $700.

The competition will run from October to December.
