Evergreen4:Nigerians never loved themselves, dey play, football was just a means to forget misery momentarily. The rot started long time ago, when a section of the country was sworn not to be allowed to excel, if you mention the section, na u sabi |

Great! Most of our players today are busy chasing money. I loved the profile of these men. You can imagine one of them rising to be come his state's AJ. These generation of players doesn't want to go to school. Education remains invaluable. That degree will be needed someday and serve as a ticket to places where money can't place you. Same applies to all these musicians today. Tomorrow, the likes of Davido will become minister while the likes of tuface will be clapping for him. |

The 1980's Eagles was almost dominated by players from Enugu Rangers International - Okalla, Chukwu, Isima, Atuegbu, Okpala and Onyedika. Adokie, was playing for Sharks of Port Harcourt. Adiele was in Spartans Owerri. Odegbami, Owolabi, Ogedengbe, Lawal, Bamidele were in IICC shooting stars. Ikhana was in Bendel Insurance. I don't know where Nwosu was playing, New Nigerian Bank? 1 Like |

Eriokanmi: Football players have always chased money. Or why did the late Pele of blessed memory move to the US to play football? Money. The man even stated it in his autobiography. Yes, there is a lot of greed and yes, footballers earn obscene salaries. But in the good old days, many footballers used to earn very scanty salaries. If not for years of legal fighting, they would have still been earning low salaries even in Europe. Former Nigerian footballers when they retired, some of them fell on hard times. The younger generation saw, and took counsel. |

Evergreen4: Oga, you are a very little child. A very little child. Merit and patroitism my foot. Infact under army rule, that was when we started having cabals and cliques in the Super eagles....to the point that they were selecting the team, and hiring bodyguards, and so forth... As for daily life, tribalisim, nepotism and so forth has been a part of Nigerian life since independence. That;s why we ended up with federal character commission in the late 1980's, because too many complaints of nepotism. That is why Biafra collapsed, because the Igbos began mistreating minority tribes, to the point that many of them started thinking that a united Nigeria was better for them. That is why we ended up with Middle Belt vs Far north since around the 1970's, intensifying around the 1980's.... Infact the same old nepotism and corruption and company have been there for decades. Like common entrance. Think that the whole North vs South cut off points wahala started in 2010? LOL...it was there even in the 1980;.s..... Indeed some of us Southerners were told even in primary school that we had to work our asses off to enter universites of our choice outside our state of origin...lol. Better not make me laugh. I am angry and dissapointed with our democratic rulers...they haven't made things much better, but army rule....if you went back in a time machine, spent some time, and came back you will be saying Nigeria the same yesterday, today and forever... |
