I keep repeating it. Why do we never see BLFA players on our junior national teams???? Those who understands football knows that BLFA has the best talents in the country yet we never see their players in our junior national team before they get sold to big clubs. Nigeria football needs Jesus because the injustice is a curse that does more harm than good to our football later we’ll be saying Senegal is better talent wise when it’s obvious that corruption is our biggest undoing.
I can’t agree less sir.
@Chima I have been saying it Nigerians claiming we don’t have grass roots. Are crooks. All of them. Is this not Grass roots??. Academy is our talent pot and it pissed NFF media Personalities that NFF have a hand in their pockets and of course The Dreaded Ex Internationals gang. All a bunch off crooks. @deo come and answer now Mr Laden Bosso spokes person
Them dey run private organised crime in that glass house yet EFCC never arrest anybody. To be honest I see Nigeria corrupt police and EFCC as one due to their similar dishonest behaviours.
