What are you on about? Rohr is the only white coach Nigeria has has for over 11 years.
Yeyeman,
Tokenism does not deny what is going on. You may be blind to it but many are not. You may be unaware as it appears you likely are, that hiring Oliseh for instance was a tug of war because it required handwringing when NFF openly believed only a white foreign coach would do. Besides Oliseh, which local coach has this NFF sought to hire? Please let us know. Of course, we would soon read that none is qualified but somehow Rohr's resume was and has indeed been superior. Yet, the likes of Finidi and a few other Nigerians some with similar resumes as Rohr are out in the cold. LOL.
I like how you've now narrowed your scope to
this NFF. Because before it was unclear who you meant by "we." Glad you've clarified that point.
Yeyeman,
You need to have a chat with these NFF guys to understand the mindset. It is simply ridiculous. Often they will sell a story thinking that we are all fools "Nigerians will learn under the new coach". For how many years? When does that learning stop? Since 1950s Nigerians have been learning. Now, even with many Nigerians obtaining the FIFA Pro License, Nigerians are still learning. Then you look at who is being hired that Nigerians should learn from, then you want to pisssssss.
Bros, I have had this experience and it is personal. I was hired in Nigeria in a management position and then learned that I would be Vice to a White guy. I was far more qualified than the guy but they wanted a White guy upfront. In my country, bros. I quit the job and returned to the USA not long after. It is difficult to stomach this type of rubbish.
