Football Is Dead In Nigeria, Says Okocha by Nobody: 11:13pm On Oct 11, 2014
Former Nigeria captain Austine
Okocha has refused to blame the
either the Super Eagles or the
head coach Stephen Keshi for
their 1-0 defeat to Sudan in
Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier in Khartoum. A
ferocious header by striker Bakri
Abd Elgadir in the closing stages of the first half which left
goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama no chance ensured the hosts
got the better of the African champions who put every foot
wrong in the encounter.
The result means Nigeria now walk a tight rope towards
qualifying for the biannual Africa football showpiece billed
for Morocco in 2015.
According to Okocha who lamented via his twitter handle
following the Eagles’ defeat to the Falcons of Jediane, the
result was a confirmation that Nigeria football is no where to
be found while making a case for the ‘big boss’ and his
players
"Anyone that blames Keshi or the boys is short sighted. Our
football is long dead and gone. This is just the confirmation”
Okocha tweeted.

The reigning African champions are now placed at the base
of the table in Group A with a point from three matches
while South Africa with 2-0 victory over Congo away from
home are ranked first with seven points.
Nigeria will welcome Sudan to Abuja in next Wednesday's
match as they attempt to revive their now slim chances of
reaching Morocco in January.

I think the whole squad, including the technical crew, the staffs needs a massive clear-out.... There are some players that doesn't deserve to be in that squad!
