It's a goal, it's more unpatroitic to support a backstabbing coach who is the root cause of our players not wanting to sacrifice for the country. I don't think Nigeria should sweat over Obafemi, but why should he sacrifice his career for Nigeria, when coaches like backstabber Onigbinde can criminally exclude them from reaping the reward of their hardwork?

I think in general of his skill and his potential of becoming a great player ala George Weah, most red blooded Nigerians would like it if Martins to played for Nigeria.

That said it might also be in Martins best interest to show loyalty to inter Milan, esdpecially now when he is still dispensable, and then turn around in a couple of years when he has become a full fledged star and thus in control of his future, both financially and in terms of his career destination. then he can switch loyalty and start demanding to go play for country and such, ala Eto'o fils.

So in the meantime doesn't it make sense that he has a deal with a Nigerian company, signifying where his heart lies.

Anywway that my view on that

And that's my Word.

I could not have said it any better myself.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR JILTED FANS TO REACT

Martins has every right to ditch Nigeria and Nigerian fans have every right to react accordingly. How about bombarding the company with mails/emails telling them it would hurt their products?

But IAG, that shouldn't stop him from getting endorsement deals because he said he aint ready yet...think about it!

I've thought long and hard about it. I still believe he is an unpatriotic and selfish guy who only thinks of what is good for Martins and cares less about the impact his actions have on the lifes of others.

And some said Martins did not need Nigeria!

This is what I time as well.

Utaka, Yobo and Yakubu did some advert in summer last year for some GSM company.

That company should cancel the endorsment in thier own interest or they should "wait" until he plays for Nigeria. They will have to wait for long, that I know, except he play in the nations cup
