2022 World Cup: Babayaro names two people responsible for Nigeria’s failure to qualify


Former Nigeria goalkeeper, Emmanuel Babayaro has said current goalkeeper trainer, Alloy Agu, and the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick are to be blamed for the country’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

The Super Eagles lost out on away goal rule, after drawing 1-1 at home with Ghana on Tuesday.

Babayaro, who won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, said, “For me personally, I will lay the blame on goalkeeper trainer, Alloy Agu. He has been the goalkeeper trainer for many years and has failed to bring any improvement on any of the goalkeepers. And also, he has not brought up a new goalkeeper into the fold. So, why is he a goalkeeper trainer?”

He added, “Football has a lot to do with psychology. Uzoho after conceding that goal was shaking because it was a flop for him to allow that ball to go into the net. It takes a lot of character for the goalkeeper to come back better after such a goal.”


The former Super Eagles goaltender also laid blame on the doorsteps of Amaju Pinnick.

“There is no teamwork among Super Eagles and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) because in a situation where only the President is in charge of everything. The President of the Federation is the Chief Scout of Super Eagles. He has been the one traveling to Europe to convince players who were not born here and don’t know much about Nigerian football to come and play for us.

“How can you bring strangers together and expect them to do the work of brothers? They cannot play with that urgency because they don’t know the history and the rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana and what football means to the average Nigerian,” he concluded.

The entire board of NFF should resign, that's the moral thing to do, they failed disgracefully... #resignPinnick

Up to 95 percent of people on this forum celebrated the sack of Rhor and appointment of Eguavoen as coach. Yet the same percentage are the ones lambasting him for not qualifying the super eagles to the world cup.

Don't mind the hypocrites...

I understand you bro. but we don't want your cultural identity or your land, all we want is just your oil don't worry after the world leaves oil and switches to natural gas or we find enough oil in South West or North then y'all can have biafra, and also una girls fine too.

No you want our land;
This is Ruga (Buhari gave Uzodima $120 million dollars for our land in Imo state).
The Federal Government has graciously included Imo State as a beneficiary of her special Agric Processing Zone Project for Livestock and out of the seven States in the country that the Federal Government is billed to spend $850 million, Imo State is Number two and will get a whopping $120million.

“Besides, the Governor told an elated congregation that the Federal Government under the leadership of President Buhari has secured $1.4billion facility from the World Bank for Urban and Rural Water development and that Imo State is one of the States approved from the Six geopolitical zones in the country to benefit from the programme, representing the South East Geopolitical Zone.”

Reason ;why Uzodima started killing Chiefs ;kings; and burning down villages that opposes it;He tag them IPOB or unknown gun men killing.
Imo State Communities Reject RUGA


Sep 10, 2021 | The Nigerian Voice


Resolutions Reached At The Crucial Stakeholders' Meetings Both At Home (physical) And Virtual And All Traditional Rulers And Presidents - General Of Town Unions In Agwa In Oguta Local Government Area, Imo State On Monday, 6/9/2021 And Wednesday, 8/9/2021

Following the recent disturbing and nightmarish aerial surveillance and confirmed search on some parcels or portions of farmlands belonging to Agwa, Ejemekwuru, Akabor and Izombe (Ohaoma axis) known as "BENCOV AREA" by a delegation of the Imo State Government led by the office of the Deputy Governor and the Interim Management Committee Chairman of Oguta LGA, Hon. Emma Mazi, who came with the spurious claim of trying to acquire the land for the purposes of Integrated Agricultural Project which is highly suspected to be a subterfuge for the implementation of the widely rejected "Rural Grazing Area" (RUGA) in Nigeria designed to forcefully allocate people's lands to the Fulani herdsmen for their cattle businesses with their concomitant wanton destruction of farmlands, property and gruesome murder of innocent citizens in the herders' grazing areas, the above stated meetings were convened to help the Agwa people appraise, review and take informed decisions on the subject matter and speak in one voice under a common platform.

RUGA: They want to take our land — Fani-Kayode

First, it was political sharia. Then Islamist Boko Haram. Then terrorist Fulani herdsmen. And now Ruga cow settlements. Nigeria has become the biggest shithole on the African continent. We are like an open public toilet that has never been flushed. Everything about our country stinks! The Buhari administration has said they want to establish Ruga settlements all over the country for the Fulani and their cows?

Fani-Kayode My question to them is as follows: is cattle business government business? They have taken everything from us: our nation, our dignity, our identity, our future, our self-respect, our destiny, our lives, our liberty, our faith, our hope, our resources, our substance and so much more. And now they want to take away our land! Well, I have news for them: this will not happen without a fight! It can only happen over our dead bodies!
The gloves are off now and they are brazenly baring their fangs. Ours is a government and a nation of the Fulani, by the Fulani and for the Fulani. This is an incontrovertible and indisputable fact. It is self-evident. More importantly, it raises a number of fundamental questions about our supposed unity and so-called nationhood. Are we really one nation? Were we EVER one country? Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, raised this question in his famous book,
Paths To Nigerian Freedom”, as far back as 1947 and his answer then was a resounding “no”. 72 years later I have to say that I agree with him and that he has been vindicated. Nigeria is not one nation and I do not believe that we ever were. We were just pretending and lying to one another: publicly professing love but secretly hating.

Whichever way you see it the following deeply profound and philosophical questions must be answered. What does a compassionate, gentle, refined, beautiful, reticent and kind-hearted bird like a flamingo have in common with an aggressive, repugnant, violent, greedy, loud, flesh-eating and ugly winged-beast and bestial creature like a crow? What does a peacock have in common with a vulture? What does a kiwi have in common with an ostrich? What does a penguin have in common with a quail?

What does the noble, courageous and regal eagle have in common with a heartless chicken, a singing partridge, a humming pigeon, a red robin, a caged and chirping budgerigar or a cuckoo out of hell? And what do a refined, civilised, noble and well- educated people have in common with ignorant savages and bloodthirsty barbarians? We flow best and fellowship with understanding and commonality of purpose when we do so with our own.
And when I speak about “our own” I am not necessarily referring to those that are from the same race or share the same religious faith as we do but rather those that share our values, standards, ethics, etiquette, heritage, culture and civilised worldview.

Anything less is a clumsy and oftentimes dangerous attempt to have fellowship between light and darkness which always ends in catastrophe and chaos and which is expressly forbidden in the holy scriptures and by the Word of God. They say birds of a feather stick together. It follows that anything and everything that falls short of that is a match made in hell.

And as it is in the bird and animal kingdom, so it is in the world of independent countries and sovereign nations and in the land of men. Strange bedfellows coupled together against their will never excel and rarely can they find happiness or know peace. It is for this reason that many stand against the concept of the hybrid mongrel state and the man-made, artificial contraptions that the disciples and prophets of globalisation seek to establish, engender and foist on an increasingly sceptical world. The Lugardian formula of a forced union and amalgamation of ethnic incompatibles and different and conflicting races, religions and cultures in one national super-stratem always results in a depressed, decaying and dysfunctional nation where mutual respect, love and trust has no place. Permit me to be specific.

Let us consider Great Britain. I believe that BREXIT is the best thing for the United Kingdom and that is why I support my old friend Boris Johnson for the position of Prime Minister. I do not see anything wrong in people trying to take their country back from foreigners and aliens. Again I do not see anything wrong in rejecting a model, association and system of government which takes your identity, power, self-respect and dignity away from you and allows your nation to be controlled and your fate and destiny to be determined by a small group of unelected faceless officials and technocrats who reside at the heart of the European Union in Brussels.

A people and a nation ought to control their own destiny and not conceded that right to others. And of course, this is what we need to do in Nigeria. We must take control of our destiny, free our people from bondage and slavery and wrestle control and power back from those who worship cows, , who relish in shedding blood and who came to our land from distant shores.

We MUST get our country back! Failing that we must march out of this illicit, godless, accursed and unsolicited forced union and establish our own new nation. The concept of the multi-racial, multi-cultural, hybrid, mongrel nation-state has failed in Nigeria and resulted in nothing but Fulanisation and Islamisation. We cannot bear it any longer and neither should we have to. The British that forced it upon us long ago and that put us in this unworkable, evil contraption without ever even consulting us have themselves rejected the concept of a multi racial and multi-cultural society and are no longer prepared to accept it in their shores.

BREXIT presents an eloquent testimony to that and there is plenty more to come. You can call me xenophobic, racist, nativist or tribalist, I really do not care! I am proud of my history, culture, heritage, racial stock, religious faith and who and what I am. I can trace by bloodlines and lineage back to five generations and that is deeply gratifying and inspiring to me. It is from there and the Spirit of God that I draw my strength.

I know the values and virtues that my forefathers cherished, fought for and lived by and I intend to inculcate such values and virtues in each of my sons and daughters. You cannot expect me to jettison all that in the name of misguided liberalism, leftist dogma and political correctness. You cannot compel me to accept your vain notion of a multi-racial melting pot where my racial and religious identity is sacrificed on the altar of “one Nigeria”.

For the last 59 years of our existence as a nation, we have tried to live together in peace with those that consider us as nothing but vassals, subjects and slaves and that regard themselves as being divinely ordained and born to rule and it has been disastrous. When this notion was forcefully and legitimately challenged in 1967 by a proud, strong and noble people with an irrepressible republican and Christian heritage known as the Biafrans, it led to a barbaric civil war and the genocide and ethnic cleansing of 3 million of their civilian population, including 1 million children who were starved to death!

And since then millions more from all over the country have been maimed, disfigured and slaughtered by those that have been doing such things to others since 1804 when they launched their first jihad in what was to later become known as northern Nigeria. For the last 105 years “One Nigeria” has resulted in nothing but misery, suffering, subjugation, slavery, war, conflict, dissension, contention, strife, failure, terror, mass murder, genocide and ethnic and religious cleansing for the millions of sad, traumatised, brutalised, impoverished and beleaguered people that live within its sanguine and blood-drenched borders. What compels and constrains us to continue to accept such an arrangement and state of affairs and what makes us want to silence and destroy all those that challenge it? Are we under a spell?Have we been charmed and bewitched? Is that why we accept the abnormal as being normal and the unacceptable as being acceptable? Is our quest for freedom not a natural and noble thing? Is our quest for liberation and our desire to be treated with dignity and respect and to be regarded as equals unreasonable and unacceptable? Surely not! Why must we continue to live together in one country with tyrants, vandals, Goths, Visigoths and barbarian conquerors who regard us as nothing but sub-human vassals that deserve to be slaughtered like flies at the top of a hat? Why should we continue to accept the notion of “one Nigeria” if our story is one of master and servant, slave and slave-master, horse and horserider and constant humiliation, persecution, marginalisation and mutual suspicion and hate?

I totally reject the concept, ethos and notion of multi-racialism, multiculturalism and globalisation. I am proud of being a nationalist. I am proud of being on the far-right. I am proud of being a Bible-believing, devout and conservative Evangelical Christian. I am proud of my Judeo/Christian heritage and education. I am proud of being a southerner and I am proud of being a Yoruba. May the Lord shame and destroy our enemies and may He preserve our people and our race. Permit me to end this contribution with the deeply insightful and profound words of Mr Nur Miracle. On 25th June 2019, he wrote the following on Facebook. “Forget about civility, democracy and everything that goes with them. And I am not discounting the importance of abiding by them; so, don’t get me wrong.

But, the truth is that this world is about conquest, displacements and subjugation. Life in itself is brutish. It’s about the survival of the fittest. Think about the British and European conquests and colonization of everywhere they colonized, to understand my point. It took the decimation and near extinction of indigenous populations for the Europeans to be able to own the Americas, Africa, parts of Asia and places like the US and Canada. People were killed in their millions for them to achieve this, and the memories of those annihilated are long forgotten, while the Europeans took over, and everything is now normal.

Today, people struggle from around the world to secure visas to go and live in the U.S, Canada or similar ‘white’ countries. But, do they know that beneath the foundations of these so-called ‘civilized nations’ are rivers of the blood the indigenous people? My point is that we see the same pattern of conquests shaping up in Nigeria, by , but it appears that we don’t recognize it. Everyone should wake up to fight and live or risk being annihilated .That’s just the truth!” Mr Nur is right and I concur with all that he has said. Finally, consider the words of Mrs Shola Salako. On 26th June 2019 she wrote the following on Facebook: “This is how it works! Informed sources tell us that across the Middle Belt, our internal colonial masters the Fulani foreigner and her puppets accuse indigenous communities of having weapons. They then send the Army, Police etc. to raid people’s homes, even taking knives. A few hours after they have taken the weapons the Fulani terrorists arrive, rape, steal and kill the indigenous people.

They will also burn down whole villages making many homeless. This is what they have done most recently in Taraba, Benue, Adamawa, Plateau etc.. The owners of the land are then placed in Internal Displacement Camps. The foreigners then take the land claiming its theirs. Another trick that the imperialists use is to send a senior army man to say he wants to speak to your youth. The youths gather and are arrested. Shortly afterwards with the youths out of the way, terrorists arrive to rape, steal, kill and destroy. Note they used it effectively in Taraba recently. See why Danjuma says “they collude?” Hopefully the South are awake to these tricks”. Shola is right. Her analysis of the modus operandi of the cowardly terrorists and the support that they get from the establishment is accurate and valid. I can confirm that.

Permit me to conclude with the following: Fulani radio station approved. Fulani can continue carrying their AK 47’s. Fulani are NOT terrorists even though they are commiting genocide. Fulani settlements are to be set up all over the country. Non-Fulani are to be disarmed. Honestly I weep for this country. Is anyone surprised that millions of people from all over the south and the Middle Belt believe that it is time to BREXIT from Nigeria? In 1958 Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Leader of the Yoruba, said, “We would rather die than prostrate before the Fulani”. Awolowo‘s words give us strength and act as a reference point and reminder of who and what the Yoruba are. On 27th June 2019 Aare Gani Adams, Field Marshall of the Yoruba said, “Our land is not available for Miyetti Allah. I am a warrior and I am not afraid and the Yoruba are not afraid of any tribes who are giving us problems.

I can still roll out one million Yoruba people”. Adams’ words give us hope and serve as a reminder to both ourselves and our enemies of what we are capable of doing when pushed against the wall. The biggest mistake that the Fulani can make is to test our will, underestimate our intelligence, dismiss our resolve and mistake our liberal disposition and accomodating nature as weakness. The Yoruba are slow to anger but irresistable in battle. We stopped them in 1840 and we shall stop them again.

Foul, foul. Problem Eguavoen is not a coach. He messed up in 2006...he doesn't progress when he meets real challenges. He doesn't have a plan b. All the 94 set are still stuck on 4-4-2. The only formation they know.

Shouldn't have sacked the former coach

Amotolongbo:
The goalkeeping department is a shame. After Vincent Enyeama, we had Carl Ikeme but illness didn’t allow us to enjoy him. Since then, nothing again.

The last time we didn’t qualify for the world cup (2006) since our first appearance in 1994, Austin Eguavoen was an assistant coach.

But Enyeama made us not to qualify for 2006 world cup when he conceded a cheap goal against Angola in Kano.

Rhor shouldn't have been sacked. Period

That is just guesswork
Even if Rohr was not sacked and we qualified it would have been luck
On the other hand we could have been lucky and qualified under Eguavoen. That too would have been just luck.

The problem is nothing to do with coaching.
The players individually are not good.

The only good player there is Osimhen

So the ultimate responsibility has to be with Pinnick who has been there long enough to make a difference

To focus on Rohr or Eguavoen is to show only a superficial understanding of Nigerian football. Yes results matter but results come and go. What is important is the structure.

We do not have intelligent players in the defence, the midfield or wingers .
There is a way we play football in Nigeria and Rohr does not understand that.
Let us remember what Keshi did to win the Nations Cup. He brought in a few home based players who beat the likes of Toure and Drogba.
Some of us remember how Westerhof started. Westerhof was sending players from the home league to Europe whereas Rohr believes that only Europe based players are good enough.
We should forget about results and focus on developing local players .

What we must ask is Why and how did Musa and Ighalo enter the squad?
Without wingers or quality midfielders we were left to playing the long ball
We saw defenders who did not know what to do when they had the ball and the same with the wingers .Ghana was not under pressure at all.All our moves were predictable. Low quality players.

Pinnick is responsible

Rhor had a better understanding of the team. He helped them make the playoffs.
The fact is we over rely on these foreign players especially the ones born abroad. This is not good for Nigeria football. Many of these players will not even make England D team. We need to start looking beyond players in Europe. Most North African players are home based. Only a handful of them play overseas. We need ambitious players that can respond in tough times. We were one goal behind against a very poor Tunisia team in the nations cup and failed to a create moment of magic. That Ghanaian team will loose heavily to England C team. For Nigeria to succeed, we need a high profile foreign coach that will be allowed to do his job without political interference else, things will get worse.

That picture is of Celestine Babayaro, not Emmanuel.

lexy2014:


Rohrs sack was in order but not sure how u arrived at 95%. If eguavoen didn't do well, then he deserves the lambasting. Am not sure what celestine wanted from alloy agu

Maybe you were not on this forum where the entire front page was agog at the announcement of Rhor Sacking. Everybody was excited saying it was overdue. Infact could have been 96% if you are one of them.

That minister is another badluck, any team he visits, the spirit of buhari failure, follows him.

I respect your opinion but I do not buy it.
Sorry
There is no basis to compare Eguavoen to Rohr
So to say he had better understading does not make any sense.The circumstances are very very different
Rohr was there for years and Eguavoen has had two camps with them. He probably did not choose the players .Why were Musa and Ighalo still there?
I am not rooting for Eguavoen but there is no basis for comparison. Eguavoen came in at a bad time so he cannot be blamed

We have to compare Rohr to the likes of Keshi. That is a more rational comparison
When Westerhof arrived he did not start off winning. His beginning was poor but the NFA was patient and that paid off.

The point is Rohr has got to the peak. There is nothing more he can do even if he had qualified for the World Cup we would still achieve nothing.
We need to forget about the coach and look at more fundamental issues
Like the role Pinnick is playing and the role of the NFF
We focus too much on short term issues .
What is important is our structure in Nigeria and development of a local league. Do we have any ambition or plan for a local league .
Besides that . Do we have any ambition or plan to develop Nigerian coaches
Italy are the European champions they too have not qualified but they will be back why they have the league they have the structures
We do not need foreign coaches to succeed that is nonsense. Keshi won the nations cup against all odds.
What we need now is not to focus on winning but on the long term. Let us develop our own coaches even if we win nothing for 20 years I am fine with that.
Nigerian music is doing well today we should understudy that.
Structures are more important than results. We need a Nigerian football economy/industry that generates money to sustain itself and not depend on government

How on Earth can any country sack Rohr and replace him with Eguavoen?!!! That doesn't even begin to make sense...

I thought they already got a certain Portuguese guy to take over. There are even local league coaches who would have done better.

Rohr! Rohr! Rohr! Damnit!!!
What has this Rohr ever won in his entire career?
Eguavon is a bad coach doesn't make Rohr a good one either.

Winning trophies is a short term perspective.
We need to focus on the long term .If it will take 20 years to develop our own coaches that is a worthwhile sacrifice
Anyhow Keshi won the league so from a rational and logical perspective that (foreign coaches) cannot be the issue. Remember he defeated Ivory Coast with Drogba and Toure and many foreign coaches at that competition
He was not there for as long as Rohr before he did that . How did we pay him?
There is no sign that the team was getting better under Rohr since the last World Cup

The issue is more than the coach. In fact that is probably the least important issue.
Senegal the current African Champion has a Senegalese coach
Our grassroot football development has gone backwards.

Also the way the NFF works and how out of form or aged players like Musa and Ighalo always make the squad.

Winning is a short term thing. We need to focus on a 20 or 30 year plan to develop our own coaches and league. That is more important that qualifying for the World Cup and that approach will most likely lead to winning the World Cup.
Long term strategic thinking
The NFF should be looking at funding coaching scholarships and exchange programmes to develop our own rather than paying for mediocrity because they are "foreign"

When we been dey tell dem say jubilating over Rohrs sack go come back to hunt naija, Una dey speak English upandan. Same problem I had with my guys because of the sack of Ole at man utd. Rohr qualified Nigeria to 2018 world cup in a group that had Algeria, Zambia and Cameroon without any permutations. He also qualified us for afcon without stress. Una start to speak English say he is not tactical. Same words they used against Ole. Them bring gegen presser. Now to qualify for Cl for my beloved man u dey in doubt. Something Ole does effortlessly

You're absolutely right babayaro

Athemisia:

Rohr! Rohr! Rohr! Damnit!!!
What has this Rohr ever won in his entire career?
Eguavon is a bad coach doesn't make Rohr a good one either.

Please, read to understand sir...

Rohr had to go. His time was up! I am not holding brief for the charlatan.

However, if you have to sack a German clown, why replace him with far more clueless clowns?!! How does employing Eguavoen show seriousness to qualify for world cup??! That's my grouse.

TOPCRUISE:
Up to 95 percent of people on this forum celebrated the sack of Rhor and appointment of Eguavoen as coach. Yet the same percentage are the ones lambasting him for not qualifying the super eagles to the world cup.

Remain blessed. We warned them but they didn't listen. Let me look for my screenshot to vindicate myself.

We cried and warned that Eguavoen was a disaster and that Rohr needed just a technical assistant to help him but it fell on deaf ears.
