Decline of Nigerian Football Worries Fans

~m-aG400The consistent decline in fortune of football in Nigeria, especially, the national teams has become a source of concern for football fans.
In recent times, Nigeria’s national teams, both at senior and youth levels have performed poorly in international competitions.
This, according to a football administrator in Rivers State, Mr Ibrahim Yusuf called for urgent action to check the trend.
Yusuf who is also the team manager of Socotherm FC, an amateur clubside in Rivers state said that the track record of the Super Eagles after 1994 to the present Shaibu Amodu coached period has not made Nigeria comfortable, saying that, Nigeria all over the world have faith when it comes to football and wish to see the best of a senior team, at least.
He continued that anytime the Super Eagles play, be it friendly or competitive match, enemies and friends are likely to come together to demonstrate that spirit of unity for the sake of our country.
“It is for this reason that Nigerian bleed from their hearts when they see the country’s football image being dragged in the mud, most especially in major competitions that have to do with pride and honour.
“Nigeria no doubt, has built herself a name in the comity of soccer nations in the world and this must not be lost in a blink of an eye,” he said.
The Socothem FC boss, noted that Nigerians are soccer crazy and given this nature of love for the country’s soccer team both old and young would want to hear the country’s name mentioned among the top teams that have upper hand in any competitions. Nigeria is involved in considering the country’s potentials to merit such top positions.
