The local league is a breeding ground for future stars in Nigeria and if properly managed we can have alot of players readily available to replace players that are aging in the national team .
Some of the players in Bendel insurance fc that I watched in the local scene who now emerged as future Super Eagles stars were Pius Ikhedia,Julius Aghahowa and Osaze Odemwingie
Plus Ikhedia and Julius Aghahowa played at the same time for Bendel insurance fc and Pius Ikhedia was clearly the star of Bendel insurance fc then as he single handedly carried the team on his shoulders with his dazzling runs.
Julius Aghahowa was mostly coming in as a substitute and you see fans shouting police, police as it seems he was a police man then or he was playing for a police team.
Osaze Odemwingies father was the team Doctor of Bendel insurance fc then and his son became a star for Bendel insurance scoring very vital goals.
They were all able to travel out and eventually making the national team.

They did make it big, playing in Europe.

Our league should be the breeding ground for national team.

Ogunlere is leaving in 2027

I myself saw Friday Elahor and Austin Eguavoen before they went to Europe.

The most skilful Insurance player I saw live was Ikponwosa Omoregie, how he didn't make it in Europe is a mystery.

You watched the great Henry Ogboe and Wilson Oruma, I am impressed with your longevity watching Insurance.

I remember the year ACB came and took almost half the team. Oliha, Austin, IK and Rowland. I went to Onikan stadium to watch ACB play somebody that season and I couldn't help show off my knowledge of the ex-Insurance players even though I am normally quiet when I go there as I used to sit near the Indian hemp smokers.

I was a kid then too when I was watching their matches, I even knew the late Henry Nwosu and Stephen Keshi when they were playing for NNB Bank as their club mate Jones was living close to our house then

That is because the best players nolonger stay in Nigeria just like the best Doctors travelling out too from Nigeria.
Our naira does not have value so the best players will always go abroad.

Bendel Insurance... One if the greatest teams to have come out of this country. Won some international laurels for the country just like Rangers, Up Sooting, Enyimba, etc.

Bendel Insurance certainly produced top stars back in the day.

From the pictures... Aghaghowa later became handsome oo! Money good!

We count Mosta FC as a club? Really?! Maltese club is where we are proud to have footballers?

Aghahowa the goal hustler. Only him fit fight for goal from his goal post to opponent own and score.ikedia own na speed from post to post, but e no dey look straight, so sometimes, dey run pass goal kick line of opponent without being aware

NNB. Not NNB Bank. NNB stands for New Nigeria Bank

Yes ooo, with that change of environment e go develop and other bigger club go sign am... Na still good income to the club management.

To be honest Super Eagle team need serious reform 75% of them should quit that team, they are tired already enough of giving us high BP.

Pls Chielle go to Bendel Insurance, Eyimba, Remo, Kano pillar, Ranger etc look for players all these ones in S. Eagle are gone if not for miracle Madagascar nearly beat them here in Nigeria, towards the nd of the match all of them are tired losing passes and so on pls drop them.

Mindlog:

Is that because we are too selfish to create the rich environment for them to flourish

Selfish in using tribalistic zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption at local, state and federal levels in legislative and executive branches.

Is it not ironic how some of us still blame Europeans for our enduring underdevelopment, as if they are the ones who force our LGA chairmen not to employ enough teachers and other workers for the free education of all children in primary school, for example.

The international guys probably see national team call ups as vacation from the rigours of their privately owned, for profit clubs.

Who will blame them, seeing how wicked our football managers are, even those who were exposed to international football like Kanu below.

anonimi:
How can Kanu be this cruel and evil despite his own exposure to global football in the developed world

I fail to understand.

Damning reports have emerged regarding Enyimba FC, led by Kanu Nwankwo, as a player reportedly injured during training has been asked to cover the cost of his surgery.

Enyimba FC, in the two years under Kanu Nwankwo, has appeared to become an unrecognisable version of the club
