I can't believe that Nigeria is clocking 200 million population
Yet we haven't produced African Best player in the past 20 years
Yet we don't have stand out players in top flight European league
Yet we have NEVER reached Quarter final of the World cup

It's not the case of lack of talent
The problem is lack of institution of scouting players from young age and lack of good football administration

Atleast the world knows Okocha, Kanu,Rashidi Yekini and others. China that has the highest population can't even boast of a world class player since the days of elijah

Watch o, they will scam youths and their parents now After collecting 5k registration from parents they will go blank.

China and India have 1 billion people each. Yet...China has not even produced Asia's best footballer, and has only qualifed for one world cup. India is even worse.

As for stand out players in Europe's top leagues...forget it.

Nigeria....the thing is, our football needs funding, funding and honest administrators and players and coaches.

You have to know that different countries have different sports that is their national sport.

Have you ever wondered why America isn't making waves in the world of football? That's cause their own football is American football. They even prefer basketball to soccer. An Indian would rather watch cricket than football

Not by population but by national interest and political will/support.
Not to forget China and India are more populous than Nigeria
