1. Nigerians are very Passionate about Football:

Are we really that Passionate about football? If your answer is yes then why do we find it so hard to get supposed passionate fans into stadiums whenever the Super Eagles or any of our National teams Play? Why are our so-called Passionate fans not willing to buy tickets (Part with money) to watch their National teams Play? You'ld only find sizeable crowds at the stadium when the gates are thrown open.

Even more disturbing is the fact that these fans go to stadiums to support the national teams without wearing the National team colours, thus, resulting in a sea of Rainbow colours at the stands which make for distasteful viewing for Television audiences and also make the away team feel less intimidated.


2. Our Super Eagles are no more Super

We keep referring to auld Lang syne when our national team was a force to reckon with in world football. This begs the question: were our Super eagles ever Super? The only successes we've achieved in football were at the age grade level and continental level (for both male and female teams). Let's be factual, even the so-called USA '94 squad which is touted to be our best ever team was not much of a success on the global stage. We Lost to the two Big teams we came up against at the 1994 World Cup (Argentina and Italy); Senegal secured a World cup berth for the first time at Korea/Japan World cup (2000) and ended up beating 2 Big teams (Former world cup winners) in France and Uruguay but eventually crashed out at the Quarter finals (Emphasis on Quarter finals).


3. Talented Footballers abound in Nigeria:

Maybe in the past this would have been correct but as it stands right now I don't even think the talents abound anymore. I think we saw the Last of our truly talented footballers when Austin 'Jay-Jay' Okocha and Nwankwo 'Papilo' Kanu retired.

If you have a divergent view on this matter then I think you should ask yourself the following questions: How many of our Super Eagles Players can break into the first team of any of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, P.S.G or Mancity

How many of our Nigerian Players Play first team football in a Bug club in any of the top five Leagues in Europe?

When Last did a Nigerian Footballerr win the African Footballer of the year award?


4. We Have The Best Supporters Club in the World:

Have you noticed how dull football Matches may seem when the Nigerian Supporters club are in the stands Beating their drums and blowing those trumpets in a bid to Lend the needed support to the National team, Now compare this to what you get in football matches involving European teams, South/North American teams and even Asian teams...Like seven-up the difference Is clear right?
Can't forget the South-Korean fans at the Korea/Japan World cup (2000), those fans brought a whole new dimension to football supportership

5. Feel free to add yours...

1. "Nigerians are very passionate about football", this statement is true as the word true. You don't play a match in Osun (apologies to anyone who might find this offensive) and expect a huge turn out of fans. Location matters in our country.

2. For me, calling our men senior national team super chicken is atrocious, they have good days, they have bad days, but then, the average Nigerian insults at will, so it is excusable.

3. We've got talents in all ramifications, finding and grooming them is our biggest problem.

4. Using a " selected few" to determine our support for the national team is gross.

5. I am tired of thinking and typing.

so the bottom line is.....we should stop football or what?

I disagree with you saying we have seen our last talents in jayjay and kanu . Dats totally false. And the fact that they bear super eagles is just like every other team with a nick name . When was the last time england won the world cup , but they stll call themselves the 3 lions . Should they change it to 3 cats . Guy pack reasonably well .

...... Op tryinq to ridicule Niqeria's football









BTW.....have yhu heard bou' Tahiti?.....I blame ur ignorance.......

WHAT DO U WANT TO HEAR?

dude, no 4 is totally wrong.. really wrong. I've been in the system, Nepotism and God-fatherism has eaten deep into our sports system. ever experienced a trial in any NPL club? you will understand better.



there are talented sportsmen all around the country, we were never given a fair opportunity to make the cut...

Does Mikel and Iheanacho play second 11 in their top teams?

For your Info Mr man. KELECHI IHEANACHO is playing in Manchester City's first team

John Obi Mikel playing in Chelsea first team

Moses playing in West Ham's first team

Iwobi playing in Arsenal's first team.

Just keep out of football since you don't find it fun.

I can die for the love of football.

How Fridge Balls Work As fruits and vegetables age they create gasses that cause them to spoil prematurely.

Because each fridge ball contains a packet of potassium minerals that will absorb these produce rotting gasses, so you can keep your fruits and vegetables fresher for longer!

Well I can't type much now, faces on this fuel queue are not friendly, they can just shift my keg to the back.. I have been here since yesterday.

Last min calculation

Nope, it is more of priorities.

Apart from Mikel @d moment and we av 2 tank guus hidink, some wil say iwobi bt it's just 2 starts and we hope he gets more , iheanacho is a first team player bt not 1st 11 wen everyone is fit. We don't really av players in top clubs, Mikel, iwobi and Iheanacho apart. And i fear 4 iheanacho with d incoming of guadiola

You know me too well.

There is really no problem with Nigerian football. Look at it honestly. We are a mediocre country. Mediocre countries do mediocre things. Great countries do great things. If we want to create a world class team, we have to change our culture from ignorance to intelligence. From 'God will answer our prayer' to learning how to think, prepare and act wisely. If God really answers prayer Nigeria would have won EVERY SINGLE WORLD CUP SINCE 1966.

I disagree with you on the supporters' club. Nigeria's add melody to the game which is always tense. I love those trumpets.

Mikel no, iheanacho yes
