The Need for Change

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Â
Nigeria, as usual, through the numerous unqualified and corrupt people in sport administration was brought into ridicule again. This time, it is the unmitigated corruption that has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerian Football Federation. Unraveling the way funds were appropriated in the past few months is now the preoccupation of  the EFCC.

South Africa: A Good Example

Monday, July 19th, 2010

The world cup has come and gone and Africa can hold her head high in esteem for a job well done through one of her numerous children, South Africa. Personally, ‘am so proud of the achievement of that country that I can’t help but be envious of what they accomplished. The same South Africa that [...]

National Pride!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Having failed in my last two estimations of the Super Eagles, I found it very hard to even give a title to this piece. With the hope of qualifying for the second round hanging on a thread, we are back on a familiar turf of looking up to others to do us a favour. How [...]

Greece Versus Nigeria: A Must Win!

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

The Super Eagles still have every chance to progress to the second round of the World Cup; all they need do is win their remaining matches. While this won’t be a picnic on the beach, it certainly is not unachievable if we put our acts together and focus absolutely on the task. The mountains to [...]

The Super Eagles!

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I had to wait patiently for Coach Lars Lagerback to name his team to South Africa before making any comments. If I have disappointed you with my unusual inconsistency on this blog, I sincerely apologize particularly for my lack of coverage of our Super Eagles towards this World Cup. One of the most significant events [...]

The Big One is Here

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

As I watch the build up to the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa on DSTV daily, I couldn’t help but feel the overriding excitement of the host country and its people. The colours of the Rainbow Nation, the noise of the Vuvuzela, the outstanding levels of preparation and facilities, beautiful hotels and resorts [...]

The Way Forward (1)

Friday, February 5th, 2010

As usual, the Super Eagles got another bronze medal at the just concluded CAN in Angola. That was our fourth bronze medal in 10 years. And for a country that is supposed to be a ‘super power’ in African football, that record; when deeply dissected is tantamount to failure.  Compared to Egypt, Nigeria would be [...]

ACN Like No Other!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Â
Angola 2010 took off to a most astonishing start as Mali came back from four goals down to take a point from the hosts. It would go down as one of the most memorable opening matches of any football tournament in the world. Reminiscent of the Golden Eaglets feat against their German opponents in the [...]

Uncouth Mouth!

Monday, December 28th, 2009

The list of the Super Eagles players for the CAN 2010 in Angola was released last week to the nation by the coach and the NFF. The 32 man list drew a lot of comments from fans across the country and as to be expected, various questions were raised as to the fitness and the [...]
