Former Super Falcons forward Desire Oparanozie has questioned the decision of the center referee to disallow Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman’s goal against Libya in yesterday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.
Recall that the Atalanta star netted the opening goal in the 83rd minute when he exchanged a one-two pass with AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze. But the center referee, Godfrey Philip Nkhakananga, disallowed the goal for offside.

A replay of the action shows that Lookman was actually onside even before the ball was played to him.
Reacting to the development, Oparanozie, via her X handle, criticized the referee’s decision to disallow the goal.
“No VAR in Uyo? There’s no dent on Lookman’s goal,” Oparanozie wrote on X.
“Poor officiating,” she added

They always do this but a certain Egungu doctor said ref are rather on our side and I’m just making up excuses for a team that we always scold on CSN. Thank God I’m not the only person who noticed this particular incident.
You surely have a serious mental problem….LMAOoo
I am sure Dr.Drey torments you even in your dreams. That is why you can never make any comment without throwing shades.
And when I start with you now you will start coughing out blood and laying empty curses…LMAOoo
You will tell us where you and Dr.Drey ever had this conversation and he said referees are always on our side.
Senseless fool.
Just to set the records straight, the only things I have ever said about poor officiating is that it’s a general african problem and not only targeted at Nigeria alone as you always lie. Left to you, when it’s not FIFA that is against Nigeria, it will be CAF. And When it is not CAF, it will be WAFU. All across the continent, many people are already calling for the use of VAR in qualification games….simply because of poor refereeing decisions. But you will rather open your own filthy mouth and lie that it is only Nigeria that suffers poor officiating. African referees are bias against Nigeria only, according to a fool like you.
And because you are seriously looking for attention, Dr.Drey’s assertion translates to referees are always on our side….just because you are desperate to make him look bad and stupid like you……LMAOoo
Senseless idiot.
Illiteracy is indeed a disease. Anyone who thinks otherwise should come and observe Chima Eberibe Samuels on CSN.
I just hope you will sieze this opportunity of your stay in the USA to get some quality education…..that is if you have managed to offset all the debts you incured to fund your voyage.
Sick crackhead
Hehehe an illiterate is calling someone illiterate. What I said is very true at least I am free to translate it into what I wish and for the public to know about you and how you always twist things with lies and contentious denials to words that actually came out from you. For someone who’s quick to intentionally lie about someone’s intentions to certify his usual garbage. Kiddo like it or not you’re a weirdo, and a nobody that doesn’t exist in any decent record so get your self-esteem checked once again so you don’t think more than you ought to but try to improve your real life. Once again start defending your lies and don’t be like a female menopause pretending and never accept truth that implicates their rot. Abeg run fact is I don’t even have this time I’m affording you!!!
In his mind he has made sense….LMAOoo.
Pls someone should tell this slum dweller to stop disgracing himself.
Grown up bedwetter just muddled words into a heap of crap and thinks he’s just dropped a comment….LMAOoo
Kiddo….Weirdo….LMAOoo. You forgot to add Olodo, that you are.
Shameless lying hypocrite always does not have time once he has dropped a lie and cannot substantiate it….LMAOoo.
He runs away like a hungry street dog that he is when it’s time to talk intelligence because he’s got none.
You should look for a better lie to tell people other than claiming Dr.Drey said Referees always favour Nigeria.
No wonder Nobody takes you seriously on this forum….LMAOoo. Even when you throw tantrums threatening to leave thinking people will beg you not to, nobody gives a hoot till you always shamelessly drag you pig lips back here in shame…LMAOoo. You know why….cos you are of zero value to CSN. You worth not more than a used diaper.
A lot of people would be better off and rather prefer being my type of a nobody than being your type of a somebody.
Ref bet Lookman not to score
He didn’t want his ticket to cut
Corrupt Ref!!!!
Nff should please write to caf, Lookman has been rub twice by referee. We don’t want this to repeat again
Exactly we would have defeated Rwanda if Caf official didn’t cancel Lookman’s goal away from home as well. It’s crazy how they get away with these atrocities yet dumb NFF like a certain weirdo has nothing to do in addressing this syndrome.
Soke match officials are meant to be dismissed not only the REF. The stupid linesmen also raised the flag to spot an offside. NFF no go kuku complain until it come to hunt us. They denied Lookman goal due to a bad REF decision in previous match, now they have done it again. You don’t try such shit with a reliable football body like the Northern Africans, South Africa, Senegal even Ghana self go write to CAF and lodge complain.
But our own Football association are clueless, theirs is to embezzle money meant to develop our football. Very rubbish FA.
Lastly CAF should be ashamed of herself cuz why play qualifiers without a VAR in this modern era ? Very annoying. That was a beautiful goal and assist for God sake
Both REF, Linesmen and the entire match officials should be suspended for real. Why raised the flag for a goal that is not even close to an offside yet he’s standing exactly at the spot of the action.
You dare not try this with those Arab Morth African teams, South Africa, Senegal and even Ghana cuz their FA are responsible and will definitely write to CAF to petition those clowns they called match officials but Naija own is always different. The NFF is as useless as FG. They’re only interested in embezzling funds meant for the development of the game. A time is coming this non-challant attitude of the NFF to things like this will come to hunt us. The Coach himself said nothing about that, very crazy.
Those corrupt fools ruled out what would have been a beautiful goal for Lookman and assist for Chukwueze just like the did in our previous match.
Lastly CAF should be ashamed of themselves. A whole Qualifiers and yet no introduction of VAR. Even friendly games in Europe are officiated with VAR. What CAF is doing simply implies that the qualifier is not important so that means the tournament itself is not important
Alright, gentlemen, Dr. Drey and Chima E Samuel, let’s hit the pause button on this ongoing heavyweight bout. I swear, if this were a pay-per-view event, we’d all be broke by now, constantly buying tickets to watch you two duke it out. But here’s the thing: this is a football forum, not an underground fight club!…..LMAO
Now, Dr. Drey, you, my good Sir, could probably teach a masterclass in sarcasm with all the flair you bring to your responses… LMAO. I mean, are we even sure you’re not moonlighting as a stand-up comedian on weekends?..LMAO….The way you throw those sharp one-liners, you could cut through steel, I swear…smiles…. But hey, maybe we could direct that wit towards dissecting actual football instead of trying to dodge virtual haymakers.
And Chima, you’re the real “man of the people”—never shy about saying what’s on your mind, and always ready to jump into the fray. You’ve got this “no-holds-barred” style, which we all admire, but sometimes, my guy, it’s like watching you rev the engine of a Ferrari just to win a bumper car match. You don’t always need to go full throttle, you know?
Now, here’s the funny thing: between you two, we’ve got enough football knowledge to out-coach an entire national team! But instead of pulling in the same direction, you’re out here playing verbal ping-pong, and trust me, the ball is getting scorched. Everyone else in the forum just wants to enjoy some good old-fashioned football debate without having to wear protective goggles to avoid the flying sparks.
Let’s be real: this forum would be a much duller place without both of you. Dr. Drey, with your encyclopedic knowledge of Nigerian football history and Chima, with your unfiltered takes that keep everyone on their toes. We need that balance of brains and brawn, facts and fire. But how about we turn down the heat a little? You know, give each other some breathing room before we start needing referees for these exchanges!
So here’s my proposition: let’s call a truce. Picture this— Dr. Drey and Chima E Samuel teaming up like peak Xavi and Iniesta, combining skill and passion to dominate the conversation. Instead of exchanging jabs, you could be exchanging insights. Instead of roasting each other, you could be roasting poor coaching decisions, questionable tactics, or the state of our football administration. And hey, imagine all the fans here who would finally be able to scroll through the thread without feeling like they’re in the middle of a Twitter war!
Think about it, fellas. At the end of the day, we’re all on the same team—Team Nigerian Football. There’s no need to turn this into a never-ending rivalry. If Messi and Ronaldo can shake hands, why can’t Dr. Drey and Chima E Samuel let bygones be bygones?
So how about it, guys? Let’s put the gloves down and pick up the banter again—where it’s all in good fun, and no one’s leaving with bruised egos. I mean, who knows? We might even end up with the most dynamic duo the forum has ever seen.
And P.S.: If this détente works, I’ll personally nominate you both for the “Dynamic Duo of the Year” ij the inaugural edition of CSN’s award….LMAO…. I’m not even kidding. Let’s make peace and keep the football talk flowing. Deal?
This is the worst insult I’ve ever received on this forum. You would have done better by calling me Stupid, Bastard etc.
Mentioning my name and that of that emptily arrogant illiterate dunce in the same sentence is the worst way anyone can insult me.
Save your energy Papafem…..rather advice that slum dog to see a therapist ASAP because Dr.Drey apparently live rent free in his head…..so a day cannot pass without him shading me directly or indirectly.
He even has to lie against me just to get some attention.
The idiot is so dumb that he cannot even conjure a lie that people will believe…..LMAOoo.
He must have been drunk on free beer when he heard anyone ever saying referees always favour Nigeria on this forum…..LMAOoo.
When we tell them to go to school, the will say education is a scam. See how lack of education is rubbing off on that illiterate that has only a sticker to boast of as his biggest achievement in life….LMAOoo.
If my Bachelor in Engineering as a Petroleum Engineer from Fupre makes me an illiterate then you’re worst off bro!!!! I will not contend with your hypocritical attitude because it will term me as foolish to be going back ad forth with an ignorant blabber who also looked down on the forex industry that controls the riches of the world just because I’m a don in this field.
Hahahaha…keep it up.
You see why they say you are dumb…?!
Only a week a two ago you were a graduate of Oil and gas management. A year or two ago you had degrees Financial management and Energy Economics. Today you have a bachelors in Petroleum Engineering…LMAOoo. It seems you spent your entire life acquring phantom degrees only to end up selling fake goods in the market in Ghana as those who helped us rat you out way back from the days of kickoffnigeria reported.
Mr Oil Mogul who even has Wall street insiders yet finds fulfillment, sense of achievement and superiroity in his acquisition of an entry visa into the US in 2024…..LMAOoo…to the point of telling others they can get visas because of a simple comment on CSN….LMAOoo.
Hungry village boy.
You are a true don in forex trading….no wonder the workings of the football transfer market is too difficult for you to understand…..LMAOoo.
They really mortgage your destiny with that 2 week forex training they gave you on zoom about 2 years ago….LMAOoo. Because ever since you’ve be having day dreams bigger than your destiny can afford.
Go and tell your cheap lies to that poverty striken family of yours you always brag to the world that you feed.
The Ghanaian govt really did a lot of good to it’s people by flushing out nicomppops like you out of it’s markets. If you are this much of a public nuisance on CSN I can’t imagine what others have to bear with your around.
You have a problem in believing there are successful people in Nigeria because you’re a failure this is the only reason I will not dive deep into proving anything to you nobody. You can rot for all I care because I don’t think you matter!!!!
Hahahaha….Olodo…bloody illiterate.
Pls what has all I said above got to do with successful people in Nigeria …..LMAOoo
You didn’t even wait to prove yourself wrong about stupidly interpreting people’s statements they way you please.
Tomorrow you will open your filthy mouth again and claim Dr.Drey said there are no successful people I Nigeria when I haven’t alluded anything close to such….LMAOoo
See what your poor education is doing to you….? LMAOoo
I was expecting you to address the fact that you have claimed to have 4 different undergraduate degrees in the last 2 years…..LMAOoo…but you rigmarolled completely away from it to something entirely different and unrelated to my comments….LMAOoo
Shameless piece of lying shit.
My type of failure is the dream of many people. I didn’t wait till 2024 before I was able to travel to the US for the first time in my life unlike you Mr Oil and Gas Manager, Petroleum Engineer, Financkal consultant and Energy Economist all rolled in one…..LMAOoo.
From the comments of both of us on this forum, the world can always tell who the real failure (who brags about getting a visa) is between you and I….LMAOoo
Dons I have my profile on Facebook with pictures of me at school and various engineering engagements. The fact that I practice forex trading today doesn’t nullify my earlier attainments. Your stupidity is the reason why you will remain stupid for the rest of your miserable life asking yourself why crayfish is bend. Dundee living a worthless life that makes him think others are useless like him.
Hahahaha….illiterate.
It’s dunce….not Dons. LMAOoo
Are we supposed to be shocked all youve got to show for being an Oil Mogul with connections in Wall Street are some flimsy photos….LMAOoo?!
No ways…..you don’t say boy…!!! LMAOoo
I hope you’ve also got photos of your activities while you were studying for the other 3 bachelors degrees you’ve claimed to have in the space of 2 years now….LMAOoo
Go and fool the rest of your wretched family who depend on a miserable lowlife daydreaming empty barrel like you for survival.
For all you brag you have achieved in the life of misery you are living, thinking there is none like you, you are still no where near the level my own “worthless” life was nearly 30 years ago…..LMAOoo
Mr Oil Mogul who even has Wall street connections yet finds his sense of achievement and superiority in his acquisition of an entry visa into the US in 2024….LMAOoo.
Pls tell us, So your Wall street connections never as much as invited you over to the US for business meetings, summits or conferences all these years….With your hotel reservations and air-tickets all attached to your invitation email…??! LMAOoo.
That you had to “hussle visa” and sell family property to fund your breakthrough voyage to God’s own country in 2024, so close to rapture…..LMAOoo…?!
Don’t worry boy. You’ll get to where some of us started life from years ago someday….LMAOoo.
Imbecile.
@Papafem kind regards even if some terms doesn’t suit my judgment but let me say nobody will pretend to me that they don’t know this person’s attitude of always twisting narratives like a kindergarten child learning to grasp wisdom. What makes him pathetic is that he is full of self lies and deceits. In the past I’ve had issues with Kel and Oak as well but we came to realise that sometimes our views might differ but the intentions are crystal clear for the good of our sports and I got to also realise these two are correct people if we put certain things aside. Unlike this weirdo that’s why I call him egungu full of insecurities from the day CSN resumed online business, copying the bad habits of some KON gullible road side enthusiasts.
The day I finally made up my mind from my inner man to let all be bygones the idiot misinterpreted it as weakness and disrespected me. From that day I knew this person not only suffers Fanatic sicknesses but also a Bipolar disoriented person. A person from the slums who wants us to see things from his myopic background that has no business with excellence. I will rebuke and expose him everyday since he thinks I’m the person he wants to propagate for online notice me gains. Me I’m not all about online notices because God has given me rest if the idiot doesn’t not understand this term he should refer to the Bible because Google will not give him the spiritual meaning of when God blesses you with something called Rest.
Hahahaha….you have found rest indeed.
No wonder a day cannot pass by without you making reference to Dr.Drey in your comments.
Your only validation on CSN is benchmarking your opinions with Dr.Drey’s, both the ones he says and the ones he didn’t. You would even lie just to give yourself a false sense of conviction and victory….LMAOoo.
I live rent free in your head. I must be the last thing you think about before going to bed and the first immediately you wake up.
You indeed have rest. I hope you don’t hurt yourself with your obsessions about Dr.Drey to the point when the rest becomes eternal rest….LMAOoo. Cos I can imagine how much your heart palpitates each time you log on to CSN’s website.
And if you think this is where your torments end….you are mistaken. Even my absence will continue to torment you until you stop being a stupid overgrown boy.
In the past FIFA just like Caf has always cut short our victories and when I speak out this idiot will rush out with barage of nonsense towards me claiming that I am making excuses. When I can boldly give different scenarios for people to make their judgement of which Caf and Fifa has hurt Nigeria…. Nigeria vs Argentina Olympic final same like U20 Nigeria vs U20 Argentina WC final where Messi was given freebies penalties to snatch gold on this finals making Obasi goal useless. Or is it Cameroon vs Nigeria final in Lagos that i witnessed myself??? Or is it U20 female WC btw Nigeria vs Germany where Oshoala and her mates were made to loose to Germany in the final anytime our Girls makes a tackle. Or is it Wafu cup in Ghana where our girls and boys were made to look like criminals and robbed of decent calls but opponents are favoured. It’s only on few occasions that we are able to nick 1 or few trophies in Africa, or did someone also forgot what happened to our girls in Morocco where we played with less than 2 players due to the Arab referees intimidation towards our girls. Lookman’s 2 cancelled goals is just a tip on the iceberg for Caf and Fifa has always hunted Team Nigeria since thy kingdom come alongside NFF also destroying the team with their politics.
This leaves us to who do we turn to as fans who want fair play and good organisation for our team before we can start judging our coaches again. Before anyone will argue let him look on these match highlights because I will not fail to ridicule anyone who tries to lie or twist narratives that has evidences. Nigerians would have lots more trophies and achievements if we have been rightly judged and treated by foreign bodies who are quick to take advantage of our international stigma as criminals when we all know that not everyone from Nigeria are criminals.
I am not interested in egungu from day1 but he always crosses my path and twisting my narratives that is why I come at him with who he really is. In real life I’m not a judge but the way he behaves tells me he’s not happy with his life accomplishments that is why whenever he senses you’re accomplished he will try to disrespect you for people to see and clap for him. What a childish way of self gratification no wonder 9jarealist is also disrespected by this person. The only reason he is okay with some people here is because these people have a temperament of lay low personalities which is understood but the idiot does not know that some people have explosive temperament with budding excellence that radiates with them and this is something he can not accept due to his inferiority complex so he can not help but try and see finish that person and lie to people about the person to make him feel at peace. Is this not wizardry??? I will rebuke that demon in egungu daily as he rises against me he will never prosper until he decides to be humble and let God work on him.
Hahahaha…. I thought you were going to use this opportunity to submit your proof that Dr.Drey ever said Referees always favour Nigeria…LMAOoo
Cheap shameless Liar….!!!
In your miserable and unexposed life it is only Nigeria that has ever suffered injustice from referring decisions….LMAOoo
No other country in Africa and in the world has or does….LMAOoo
It is on the premises of that that your illiterate self beleives and wants to force your false narrative that FIFA, CAF and WAFU hates Nigeria….LMAOoo
Idiot.
Several individuals/countries have been vocally requesting the use of VAR in qualification matches in Africa, Nigeria has not been. I GUESS THOSE COUNTRIES ARE DOING SO BECAUSE IT IS ONLY NIGERIA THAT HAS BEEN SUFFERING REFEREEING INJUSTICES.
Illiteracy is indeed a disease….LMAOoo
I hope living in the USA will offer you more opportunities to watch football on a global scale so that you can stop thinking myopically like a pritve fool that only Nigeria suffers from refereeing decisions….LMAOoo
It’s bad enough you are illiterate. It worse that you are even arrogant about it.
We are still waiting for you to present proof that Dr.Drey ever said Referees always favour Nigeria.
Shameless lying pig.
Your father who lied to your mother on a daily basis is the reason you think all men are liars, mark my word you will beg me on this forum one day. I am just laughing and watching your ignorant self the day you’ll mature and have wisdom is when you’ll realise it is not everyone that you open your big mouth and be spitting ignorance to.
Hahahahaha…In his mind he thinks he is somebody.
I like you ey, you are a big dreamer. If you are not day dreaming about being connected to top managers in Europe, you day dream about having a see-through office lounge in one of the sky scrappers in Manhattan….LMAOoo. Now you are ven dreaming Dr.drey will come and beg you….LMAOoo.
You have suddenly elevated yourselfnto the position of God…..LMAOoo….there are indeed no bounds to your empty arrogance.
Keep it up. Keep dreaming big ehn…LMAOoo
Before you go and tell everyone again that Dr.Drey said All Men are liars….please show the world any part of my comment above that in anyway infers that all men are liars…LMAOoo
All Men are not like you, neither
My father isn’t a cheap liar like you who tells white lies in public and I’ll beg you the day the devil repents.
For you to just substantiate a fat lie you told the world against me, see how much rigmarolling, summersaulting and disgrace you have put yourself through.
Next time you will think twice before poking Dr.Drey since the urge to mention Dr.Drey in your comments on daily basis is too strong for you to control.
For The 3 times you prayed here that I should die have you ever apologized…? And recently when you said you will fight me spiritually have you apologized…?
Stupid fool.
I’ll beg you….LMAOoo. O yes, I will beg you to continue being a foolish liar, so that i can always continue to rub you in the dust….LMAOoo
You definitely have mental problems.
If you are ready to activate your plans for a spiritual warfare be my guest. I was born ready.
NFF must complain to CAF for dirty conspercy against Super Eagles team especially veteran player Ademola Lookman , the evidence and proof his two goals versus Rwanad and Libya they are right goals onside; World Cup quilfier will be on road next March 2025 , NFF must take their caustion , cause I think there is a dirty conspercy by CAF president to elminate SE then put Bafana Bafana instead of them to qualify for the next World Cup 2026, NFF must press CAF to put just refrees for SE matches…
We all know that what the referee did was bad but since all Africa referee know that NFF is dumb and will never complain they keep on doing the rubbish. The referee that officiate Rwanda vs Nigeria match last month did the same and I know that it will happen again in the return leg at Libya and mumu NFF will remain silent as usual. No be their fault. It’s the set of useless people that pack themselves in glass house and calling themselves NFF that’s at fault.
