Nwabali Okoye and get this young lady as 3rd choice for now and create a healthy and competitive goalkeeping department for Nigeria and have Enyeama to coach them if Nigeria is serious this is what they should do. But this news will flu Over NFF head as usual
**Nwabali, Okoye** *fly*
Okonkwo as 3rd choice really?? This dude might just bench Nwabali sef. This guy and Nwabali are probably the 2 best Nigerian goalies out there.
first of All he should be Selected to come and Slug it out for that position but Knowing our unproactive current NFF cabinet. This news will fly over their head. Thats my point. whether he can become No 1 I have no doubt if he is called upon but Nwabali may have something to say about that and can still up his game. the Question is will they call him?
@Ugo Iwunze, you are right, at times one wonder’s how these people are in Charge of our football. If you didn’t know any better, you might be tempted to believe they are Nigerians.
Well said @Ugo and @Golden Guy.

Yes I agree, nwabali, okoye, and okonjwo will be a very strong department of possible number 1 competition amongst,…as usual, OUR NFF AND ALL HIS BODIES ARE HUGELY INCOMPETENT… THEY DON’T KNOW FOOTBALL
You guys are the same people that always tear ex internationals to shreds when anyone of them dare run for any position on Nff board- Chief Odegbami, John Fashanu etc
