Like them or hate them , Nigeria is one of the big football nations in Africa. Fact that they have won this AFCON three times is an epitome to this assertion. In terms of AFCON glory, they are only behind Egypt (7), Cameroon (5) and Ghana (4).Over the years they have produced quite some great players: my personal favourites being Wilson Oruma, Celestine Babayaro, Taiye Taiwo, Julius Aghahowa and Ike shorunmu. Nigeria played their first prelim game yesterday and as an independent, objective non-nigerian, I observed these 10 things.

1. Nigeria have a very technically astute coach in Gernot Rohr and their destiny in this AFCON solely depends on the experienced German.

2. Paul Onuachu, their top marksman is not a reliable goalpoacher.

3. Nigeria's weekest link is the man between the sticks, Daniel Akpeyi. He is full of stage fright.

4. Nigeria lacks a ball joggling creative attacking midfielder

5. Their secret weapon, Samuel Chukwueze, will be better as a sub, will be impotent as a starter against the big teams, mark my words

6. John Obi Mikel has always been an overhyped player. He is a waste in this Nigerian team, no wonder he is club less.

7. Nigeria's defence is a huge suspect, I can imagine how it will leak against Salah-Trezeguet, Mane-Niang, Gyan-Ayew

8. Oghenekaro Etebo is more dangerous in advanced midfield, he played too deep for the team, I think he is Nigeria's best player anyway


9. Odion Ighalo should be starting ahead of Paul Onuachu


10. With luck, this team can do quite well, and I mean quite well.

If ur favorites Nigerian football legends are these people u wrote down there, then u knw nothing about Nigeria Football. pls Oga, Stick to your black star thread and stop forming diplomatic on this developing Nigerian team.

We will grow as the tournament progress, the 2013 winner started this way. just watch as the event unfold.

Olulong:
Goan analyse your wack below average Ghanaian team full of expired old men

Beverlyjean:
Well.. the goalie made a wonderful save in the first half...I guess he had tournament fright ,being his first...but he has it in him, he just needs to b calm mentally... I agree with you on Mikel... It's only his experience is needed but his game play is far gone....

Hardrive:
What do we need a ball joggling creative attacking midfielder for. If we had one, he would just be as confused as his name suggests. What we need is a good team. And the team is trying anyway.

bingbagbo:
Kindly name Ghana's old players
