It isn't the first time, 2006 FIFA world cup in Germany was the first time Nigeria failed to qualify for the world cup and guess who was the coach then, just sacked coach Augustine Eguavoen. This guy has a curse of not qualifying us to the world cup but in other news it is a good thing we didn't qualify because what would be the outcome, it's still disappointment as all the other world cup we have played there's nothing to show for it.
When it comes to the AFCON as well, we're no where to be found as the last time we won it was 2013 and that's 9 year's ago. Maybe having this time off will give us enough time to regroup and come back as a better squad and this new coach is giving me the feeling he might just be the right man for the Job.
Being the Giant of Africa, literally Nigeria is not getting it right when it comes to footballing both in Africa and across the world.
Which I think the problem is in the management system the ( Nigerian Football federation NFF) partiality , bribery and curruption in selecting quality and talented players needed to do the job and coupled with the way in which the government treats the players during and after their football careers and compare them with how they treat players in other countries, which I think it's the most discouraging point for the players not giving their best when it comes to playing for the country.
Because you might have good coach but not having the right players willing to give their best in order get positive results due to above reasons.
Just look at a lot of wasted talented players across the country. Nigeria in summary is a place where dreams of talented players are buried.
