The superlative performance of d SE yesterday against there Ivorian Counterpart in Quarterfinals of AFCON 13' was no doubt a huge success to the team which has brought smiles to the face of many Nigerians and unity,because most people had already written them off,but the Keshi led SE took on to the pitch with determination and courage and came out victorious...

But to my amazement,i stumble on a thread linked to one NUJ member discrediting the Team on the grounds that 'FEDERAL CHARACTER' principle was not use as criteria during player selection prior to the tournament,he went as far as arguing that even Obafemi(Yoruba) was listed etc and that the team was made up of Igbo...

My question is Should federal character be a yardstick or criteria for player selection in the national team OR the best players be selected to represent this nation,but as long as they are the best ?

Your candid opinion ....personally my take on this is...the best leg should be selected as against federal character....even if the entire team is from a LGA as long as they are the best and will justify there inclusion...

Congrats once again to the Eagles!
