Ok

I don't understand the issue of player scouting. We are discovering players in our football academies everyday. Ok yohanna zadik, Ebenezer akinsanmiro, suleiman Muhammed, benjamin fredericks, Moses usor et. As per foreign born, we cannot force them. The ones that want to okay for us will play for us. We can only ask. The lack of world cup qualification was due to the fact that we could not get a replacement on time after peseiro resigned.

Goke7:
If zidane son could play for Algeria as their goalkeeper why not van persie son.

Once this current Afcon vibe remains consistent, the way many Europeans will start switching to African sides if they are eligible will be so scaring if naija like let us continue in this our folly that because we have 200m population we can produce better talents 😂 e go do us like film or AI!

Napoleon55:
If you like go straight and call me foolish.

So because you have people born abroad to do your job,we should let over 200m born at home to rotten,and no right system should be encouraged to put in place for the home grown to flourish? that is the real folly.

If you believed nothing good will not come out from home,where does the likes of Osimhen came out from?
If you think Nigerian will never produce many top quality talents again, you are in error, time will prove you wrong.

If I have my way, I would make everything possible to recruit the likes of Olise,Eze, Saka,Tomori, Nwaneri, even this joker called Adarabioyo.
But don't tell me to believe that without them and the failure to recruit the foreign born in a way some of you wanted,the super eagles is dead and buried, that's a load of crab.

😱 Shocking news for Nigeria:

• The senior national team will not be at the 2026 World Cup

• The U17 team will also miss out in Qatar

• No Nigerian match officials have been selected for the World Cup

A massive blow for one of Africa’s football powerhouses.
