Abuja, Nigeria – Wetin dey happen for our Super Eagles na wah! Dem don scatter our hopes again o, no be small. Just last week, dem show say dem no fit chop penalty properly as dem miss out for World Cup wey dey come for 2026. Na DR Congo carry the day with their sharp-sharp kicks after extra time play. Chai! Wetin we go tell our padi dem? Dey don carry last for Group C, leaving us to ask wetin we go do next?
As dem begin the qualifiers, our boys dey shine like stars. Group dey sweet with South Africa, Rwanda, and Benin Republic, but wetin happen? Na draws everywhere like say dem dey play checkers instead of football. Abeg, how you go lose to Benin? Na wetin we dey call red flag, my people! Na so South Africa carry the group ticket go World Cup while we dey find how to enter playoffs for Morocco.
Now we dey hear football no be only about skill, na money matter join. No be small wahala at all! FIFA dey promise sweet sweet $8 million for winner, but as we miss the finals, e mean say we dey lose properly again. Wetin go happen to our ranking? E be like say dem go just paint us with low confidence and no respect again for African football scene.
Of course, we fit find blame for everywhere! First, make we yarn about our players. Just before dem match wey dey come, dem go strike like say e be Nollywood film. Na so dem lose momentum before the final. With the NFF led by Ibrahim Gusau, we fit run am like soap opera, them dey owe the players and coaches plenty allowances like say na Christmas gift. I swear, this na the kind wahala wey we suppose no get for our football!
The NFF no fit stop there, dem keep changing coaches like dey dey swap clothes. Na so dem carry Peseiro, Finidi George, and Eguavoen come inside the drama before settling for Eric Chelle. My padi, if this kind confusion dey happen for management, how you expect the team go shine?
Goverment dey supposed join matter too, e no fit just be say dem go dey wait make the players do magic. If Morocco fit do am with all the investment, why we go fold our hands like say we dey watch film? E suppose dey clear say if we want bring back Super Eagles, we gatz begin from the grassroots and make sure say we build better academy for our children. Na wetin go take us there!
No be say we dey vex, but na time to strategize again be this. Dey don dey talk say 2030 qualifiers dey far, but the time to prepare na now. We gatz raise our head up and believe say one day, one day, we go shine again.
