nah, full-blooded omo naija. If we were in Europe, we would be getting to the World Cup by sheer luck. Location will always come into play with these things, I beg to differ though, Senegal played a World Cup-worthy game against CIV.

[quote author=airmark post=15905937]BAYERN Munich youngster, David Alaba, says he should have been playing representative football for Nigeria but was denied by stringent eligibility rule by football officials in the country.

Alaba, whose father is Nigerian and of Filipino mother, plays for Austrian national team but only after he has been turned down by Nigeria.

The defender said he actually planned to join Nigeria's cadet team which won the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship at South Korea but words reached him of his ineligibilty

'
I wanted to play for Nigeria but I must confess that there was no formal approach for me. A scout actually discussed that with me. I was excited because of my dad, he was a fan of Sunday Oliseh when Oliseh played for FC Koln. As a kid, I loved to watch Victor Agali in the jersey of Hansa Rostock,'' he told an Austrian news medium.
There was no what? FORMAL approach for me. And this is how we lost this gem. Smh.

However, Alaba was shocked when told by the scout that Nigeria had plans mainly for its home-grown talents.

'' I got the information that Nigeria will only consider those who were in the country perhaps because of travelling logistics and that is the end of that."
One strategy is never a good strategy. This is the age of Aquarius- multifaceted approach is the way forward. The Age of pisces is gone, the age of one size fits all.
