As I said the truth is painful, whether I am an African or not is irrelevant football is a wonderful game because it tends to mimic life! African Football Federations are rife with corruption, disorganization, and incompetency, players are not selected on merit and those that represent African natio...

Re: Familiar mistakes condemn Nigeria to defeat against Spain

African players may be gifted physically, however, they are mentally weak and tactically undisciplined. May sound, like stereotyping, however the lack of mental acumen, strength and discipline is the undoing of Africans as individuals and as a race! Sorry the truth hurts!

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller FT

Let us be honest, this team overachieved with a 4th class coach who got beat in the final by a second choice indigenous coach who only got the job after the preferred oyibo would not be released by his federation!

Re: The Nigerian Debates and Moroccan Debates on Foreign-Borns Are Identical

Lolly I hear you….We have won AFCON 3 times 1980, 1994, and 2013 on each occasion that Nigeria won there was some semblance of organization, the issues that bedevil Nigerian football on those occasions seem to take a back seat for awhile then long spells of drought because there is no short, medium,...

Re: Nigeria vs Canada 3:1 (Onyenezide x2)

This U 20 Women’s team is well coached and I like their work rate. The obvious weakness is in the goalkeeping department. Having watched the Canada game I was a bit puzzled why the coach kept the goal scorer on after she received a questionable yellow IMHO and risk her being suspended for the quarte...
