A former Super Eagles Coach, Chief Adegboye
Onigbinde, on Wednesday expressed sympathy for
Stephen Keshi, the Head Coach of the Super Eagles,
over the selection of players for the team.

Onigbinde told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja
that his pity for Keshi was necessitated by the low
standard of the country’s leagues.

He said the Nigeria Premier league, the Nigeria
National league and the Nigeria Nationwide league
were supposed to be the reservoir for the country’s
national teams.

Onigbinde added, “I have my pity for Keshi. Where
does he get the players from? From where, tell me?
What is the quality of our league matches today and that is why people are not watching our league
matches.

“In those days, if you hated Shooting Stars FC, you
will want to watch Mudashiru Lawal, Awosu,
Odegbami. Where are players of those qualities
today, so what are we going there to watch?

“Because we are not developing; the raw talents are
there but there is no administrative structure to
make us identify those players and polish them into
stars.’’
