Nigerians has never known such failure as being experience with the present Super Eagles. The Nigeria football team may have disappointed his fans in the past, but not to the extent of total failure.

In the 80s, the Super Eagles major under achievement was not winning the Africa Nations cup, and it was not the problem of qualifying for the tournament. It is on record that for almost 20 years, Nigeria always makes it to the semi final of the tournament. Apart from the number of times other teams like Ghana, Cameroun and Egypt have won the tournament, Nigeria was one of the most feared team in the tournament.

Now the Nation is finding it difficult to qualify, failing to qualify two times in a row and the third time in recent years.

Now people will ask where does the problem lies. We may trace it to the NFF, couches, government and administrative issues. But to be honest, these problems has always been there in these years and we have managed to scale through. I am not excusing the football body but the honest truth is that we no more have quality, dedicated and passionate players like before. The likes of Siasia, Okocha, Keshi, Yekini, Finidi, Uche, Oliha. You can name tens of them that are of much better quality that we have now.

Our present defense is nothing to be proud of, the midfielders are not skillful and cant connect with the attackers, the wingers I feel do not know their role and can hardly deliver decent cross. Attackers cant score goals.

Super Eagles has definitely lost his glory.
