There were a lot of problems wrong with the Super Eagles-Nigeria's senior Mens national team.
It was the reason They lost a lot of Matches spanning from year 2000 to 20155.
The same reason they were knocked out of Tournaments they should have progressed into the finals.The same reason their discipline and patriotism were being questioned.
These factors are psyiologically,mental,economical,enviromental and social factors.
A breakdown in any of such factors cordination resulted in poor performances of the National team.
Let take your mind back to where it all started
France 98-A night before the Group Game ,Denmark vs Nigeria.
The players were al arguing,fighting and quarelling among themselves over unpaid match bonuses, who plays a major role in the match,the favourite player among them and playing time.
Although,we are not sure who led the rebellious Mafia @ that time,it seemed the players were tired of the way the NFA were handling their bonuses
Result:They lost the match knowingly.They were bitter and disgruntled and this psyiologically affected the on the pitch.
Nigeria/Ghana 2000
Nigeria vs Cameroun-There was some problem in the camp.It was not among the players but had to do with the Management and Nigeria's football body.The players lost concentration and the match pushed into extratime and unto penalties.This had nothing to do with luck.
Cameroun just started their Dominance and rivalry in Africa always edging Nigeria match for match.Although,Issa hayatou had started his mind games,it was not limited to football matches only but to everything to make cameroun the face of African football and relevant team ahead of Nigeria.
The team had problems with matchofficiating.
The major problems before the 2002 African cup of nations with the super eagles had been that of player-coach bribing for playing times in qualifying or competitive matches.Whoever could pay to play ,got playing time.
This hindered the development of local players at the expense of foreign pros.
You could see that the local players who later got foreign clubs to play in continued with this cycle of bribing the coaches to play.
This time,Money was now the god in the national team than Discipline,Patriotism,and Hardwork.Fame became the game.
The problem became compounded when the NFA adopted this corrupt system and cycle of pay before you play for the national team.
This made some players become Famous at the expense of others.Jealousy,envy,fighting and quarelling became the order of every match day inside camp.
Do you think Journalists would report on such issues

Nigeria stopped marathon winning of matches right from the year 2004.Super eagles Faded and became a source of heart break to Nigerians.We missed out of qualification of the 2006 Worldcup and had a very poor run in the 2006 African Nations cup loosing to cote'divoire in an elimination Match.
The new capped super eagles players were not intrested in National duties but their personal Ambitions were to promote their respective club carriers and attract international scouts at any competition.
Playes became selfish ,uncoordinating on the field of play,unruly behaviours at press conferences.Bad reports and in camp fightings ,the cycle never ended and has continued from that time.
The other enviromental problem had to do with the NFF's bad plans and camping arrangements for the National teams in foreign countries.
Always camping players in dilapitated hotels and owing massive unpaid hotels fees.I wonder if such were the reasons the player were not able to concentrate properely and it dampened their Morale.
I have heard with disgust,that some players payed for flight and ticket fees for some prominent members of the NFF on competitive assignments.I wonder why such nonsense were tolerated.
It made a mockery of respect and integrity.
It is a shame that such things happened and some still repeating.
The players couldnt concentrate when they see members of the NFF who are not suppose to accompany them following them to competitions because they would be made to pay their tickets back and accomodation fees.
In fact ,NFF is as corrupt as Nigeria itself.
It is these factors that are responsible for the performance of this team.It is a shame to hear that the late SE boss Lt stephen Keshi was still owed Bonuses by the NFF.NFF would keep saying it is Broke when their Top brass of Merceneries who have nothing to do with football are politically given positions.They influence coaches player list decisions,campings,and technical prowesses.Appoinment of foreign coaches are a birbe racket that would favour corrupt NFF officials.The whiteman is made to part with some amount of his own salary to his employers.
So the impression created about the National team appointments are always Negative.
We need to Bring back a coach with a plain ideology and developmental strategy.
That coach is clemens westerhof.my only fear is if the NFF would give him room to work!!!
