Judging by the controversial penalty awarded the Zambians,the NFF was livid and registered its complaints with CAF,but for me,i believe this is a reaction long overdue...No response was made to that classic victor Ikpeba's penalty,which cost us the Gold trophy.Our very own jay jay was denied the best player in Africa for a countless number of times,even though he was then in the peak of his career,and on those occasions he won the BBC version of the trophy,,and which was always a precursory to know who will be the winner of the highest individual award in Africa..No one makes a fuss when no Nigerian name makes the list of even the top ten best players in the continent,not even any of our stellar players both home and beyond..Our continued negligence of what other countries lobby highly for,has made us been seen as an inadvertent opponent in the general scheme of things.The past evidently plays a major role in determining our future,If considerable effort had been put into making our stand known in the past,the referees will be up and doing whenever it comes to officiating any match by Nigeria,and wont give flimsy penalties in any case...The issue of the pitch we played on cannot be compared to the type the Ivoriens played on,but that is a publication for another day...A whole lot of things have gone wrong by the nonchalant attitude that has been employed by the NFF in the past,,now that they are awoken to their responsibility,,i sincerely pray it lasts long....GOD BLESS NIGERIA...

Na 2 day you know?

Just thinking out loud...
