I think C3 should take a vow that as long as he's coach, Martins would never play for Nigeria.

Since we don't know how long C3 will be there, the NFA should make an identical vow.

Right or wrong, I don't think Nigeria should take the matter up to FIFA - it would be too petty and undignified. Nigeria, anyway, only wants people who would proudly represent her.

If he wins the ANC he will take us to the World Cup, SIMPLE!
God help us all.

Why do you hate CC so much?

If I had my way, C3 would be evaluated among IC's only and the winner would get the job. Actually, as I've said for the umpteenth time, I'd prefer a well-crafted consortium of Nigeria's best minds.

EAGLE WINGED
So you would not let C3 if he wins Tunisia? Against the likes of France's WC coaches Lemerre and Michel. Now you see why people question the motives of pro-FC's?

Bell, get this into your narrow minded, biggoted head; i'm not pro-FC.
Yes, you're right. If CCC wins in Tunisia, i'll give him his props. But i'll still want the the man fired.

That's why I used the phrase "well-crafted". It won't necessarily be easy but I'm sure Nigeria can find four good minds willing to bury the self and work for the bigger goal.

But I still wouldn't sweat it, f'real.
Forcing someone to play for you is like forcing a girl (even if she's your lover) to have sex with you. It almost always NEVER ends well.
To me, NFA shouldn't bother b'cos agaracha must come back home.
Mark my words!!
I've always wondered what Agaracha means.

IAG. Me sef, I can't really tell you, categorically, what agaracha means but I wanna say it might mean a beautiful bride.....just my hunch.

@BELL. Welcome to the club bro. I've always suspected some of the motives behind CCC bashing. If you read Paveman's post on the thread about why most of Naija pro footballers are of eastern extraction, it will make you wonder more. It ain't even funny.

My Take is Nigeria should not simply forget about him if he refuses to report. Nigeria needs to take it up to FIFA.

Agreed.

This issue has been overflogged and like we all know, he will one day need Nigeria and then he will understand the implication of his actions.........

Which WC? The (fe)male U-17, U-21, or the proper WC?

When I said last year that this guy was not serious about playing for Nigeria - I was castgigated.....I hope all those who abused me for telling the plain truth will not eat humble pie.

Martins has never even played for Nigeria!! Its not as if the team depends on him. Anyway, the striking position is Nigeria's strongest and even without him there is so much depth: Aghahowa, Utaka, Ijeh, Agali, Yakubu, Okoduwa, Kanu.....in that order.
