Former Nigeria coach Clemens Westerhof has disclosed that players bribed their way into the Super Eagles in the past.

According to the Dutchman, corruption was rife among the administrators of Nigerian football and national team selectors, sometimes invited players based on financial considerations.

"We had a situation where we had the wrong people in the wrong places, even in the Nigeria FA.

"We had cases where players paid money to the coach and said 'I want to play for the national team' and the coach would accept. They bought their way into the national team and it was an unbelievable situation. Very sad. I know these things," an angry Westerhof said.

Westerhof however admitted that the situation has changed for the better under the administration of current Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi, who he praised for inviting players on merit.

The 72-year-old coach further praised the current Super Eagles squad for their recent impressive performances against Liberia and Venezuela.

Westerhof led Nigeria to Nations Cup victory in 1994 and qualified Nigeria for her maiden World Cup appearance in the same year.

No wonder we fail woefully in intenational competition since the selection is not based on merit.

Why won't the coach accept bribe? He bribed his way to become a coach so he needs to recover his money. Money for hand boot for pitch:::::::

Who is this angry gbagaun master? It is patently obvious your family couldn't afford a TV when Westerhof was in charge of the Eagles. The man is absolutely spot on! Can you compare the 1994 Eagles with any of the dead teams that came after his tenure? Shey that's how you selected Femi Opabunmi and he went to the World Cup to admire David Beckham's boots? This one you are defending the NFF that everyone knows is a dead zone and staffed by incompetent thieves, is your father a board member?
