Are The Super Eagles Being Held To A Higher Patriotic Standard? by HOTandCOLD(m): 9:37pm On Jul 28, 2010 |
It was a time for sober reflection after the world cup and i realised that we were too harsh on the super eagles. We criticised, cursed, abused and held them to a higher patriotic standard. But what about the officials in the NFF who clearly planned to fail or the 62 senators who chatered a private jet from france to go and support mr. president for a one day opening ceremony while majority of the people are condemned to a life of penury. As a matter of fact, the footballers reflect a sad reality of our present day situation where NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. From the common man/woman on the street (followership) to the corrupt and visionless politicians (leadership) to SOME nigerians in the diaspora. I had nigerian friends who conveniently and automatically became ghanaians during the world cup but reverted back to being nigerians after the world cup. What kind of mentality is that? I think we should apologise to the super eagles because we set them up to fail, what do you guys think? PLEASE NO ABUSES. THANKS |
