Dear ‘Big Boss’,

How are you, Sir? Maybe I shouldn’t have asked that question, especially after considering the huge task that looms before you today. Your contemplations must have assumed a greater gravity when you review the performance of a significant number of the Super Eagles who played the last match, especially that pseudo-footballer called Ahmed Musa.

Coach, we sympathize with you knowing that a number of first-teamers including Victor Moses, Emmanuel Emenike and Ogenyi Onazi were unfortunately injured going into the competition and this has made an already difficult task much harder. Discerning football fans will appreciate the impact of their absence on the team and will not judge you too harshly if the Eagles do not go far in the competition.

We will however, criticize the hell out of you if you insist on fielding a number of players who have no business in that team and only serve to frustrate long-suffering Nigerian football fans. I make particular reference to Ahmed Musa, Fegor Ogude, Sunday Mba and Brown Ideye. Let us leave the last two and focus on the former…

Ahmed Musa is Nigeria’s biggest footballing frustration since Pius Ikedia. The lad plays like he is on a dirt pitch with his friends and there are no off-sides or high stakes to play for. He doesn’t know how to dribble or swing in a decent cross from the wings; talk less of putting the ball in the back of the net. He regularly and needlessly loses the ball, and is the highest culprit of broken down team attacks. We can forgive a player if his positives outweigh his negatives, but Mr Musa’s case is completely the reverse.





Mr Ogude on the other hand is not a footballer, Sir. His contribution to the team is approximately sub-zero! His passing is worse than Tonto Dike’s singing, and his tackling is even worse than Paul Scholes! That man is a walking yellow card magnet, and it is only a matter of time before he is red carded in a serious game and he compromises the team like Sani Keita did at the last World Cup! Please Sir, just give the guy carte blanche to enjoy the sights and sounds of Brazil and stay away from the team for the remainder of this competition; kinda like a paid vacation. I am sure he and the majority of Nigerian football fans will appreciate the kind gesture.

Sunday Mba has been out of form, but we remember how he nigh singlehandedly won the Nations Cup for us so we are extending our ‘rope of understanding’. Please warn him that this rope is not infinite sha, and Nigerians have short memories. The more bad performances he posts like the one against Tahiti, the more fans will turn on him. He needs to live in the present and not dwell in the past. Brown Ideye falls into this boat too, to a lesser degree. His decent performances in the Nations Cup still speak for him, but he needs to buckle up. His performance against Tahiti was utter crap and in a European side, he would have lost his place real quick!





will refrain from talking about the rest of the team… Let’s assume that they were suffering from jet lag and this affected their performances against Tahiti. We do not need to remind them that Uruguay, led by the cannibal Luis Suarez, is a much tougher proposition and they need to bring their A-game to the table. If Vincent Enyeama likes, he should be doing ‘big man’ on the field and continue conceding cheap goals like the one Tahiti scored. Please help us tell Mikel that he is trying but he needs to carry that team on his shoulders and lead us to glory, like our dearly missed brother Jay-Jay used to do. Ah, we miss Jay Jay!

Coach, we are behind you. We are perplexed as to why you did not select better strikers for this competition, but it is your call… Methinks Obafemi Martins and Osaze Odemwingie would have been better fits than that yeye Ujah boy. I believe you have a plan though. Please continue to do your good work and ignore those incompetent bastards at the NFF. God will surely punish them in His own time. We heard that they thoughtlessly slashed the team’s bonuses by 50% and then left the team WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN BRAZIL in Namibia AND HEADED OFF TO BRAZIL THEMSELVES, probably to ‘sample the local goods’ using money that should have gone to the team in the first place! So if Fifa didn’t sort out the matter, were the idiots going to play the games themselves? Nothing wey person no go see for this Nigeria.

Good Luck against Uruguay today, Sir! God bless you all!
