Why are they not doing zonal qualification on CAF club competitions. It is clear that the North Africans are colonizing us.
That is an intelligent question. Good thinking @Chima
CAF is using zonal method on where West Africa has power but will use seeding on CAF club competitions. I am really hurt as to why Pinnick and others can not see the damages done to we the West African nations. Our leaders are behind this is just the truth. CAF does what favors the North and oppress the West!
And our local club sides are just too hurting and makes me wonder if Nigerians has lost the will power to hold their own one on one as humans against other race.
With the kind of mediocre bribe collecting Keyboard warriors cum analysts on this website, there is no way the players would not have lost their winning mentality. Imagine them comparing our players with “calibre of players” before AFCON begins, forgetting that Keshi won AFCON with a mixture of home and foreign pros.
Rohr said home based are not good and it became a verse in their *ible. Watch the individual talent of the Bayelsa united forwards and you will say some foreign pros would gladly sit on the bench and watch them play
Where is the guy that said Bayelsa United will defeat the SE eagles the other day???
Mtcheeew….
Hahahahaha
Lol@walking. No mind the guy. I had to go dig out the match on YouTube to watch and even pasted the link on that thread. Just seeing the highlight, I knew the Tunisian side would whitewash them in the reverse fixture. Most Nigerian club side lack talents like in the days of Ranchers Bees, Abiola Babes, BCC Lions, Bendel Insurance, 3SC, Enugu Rangers, Sharks, Leventis United and Iwuayanwu Nationale.
The real talents are in the academies and Europe. There are still good talents in NPFL, but I don’t think it’s abundant like in those good old days. Cash and carry things don enter.
Let’s see how far Enyimba will go with Finidi. I’m a bit optimistic with him.
