Brazilians South Americans and Africans play football in all leagues and divisions in the world……There was once a Brazilian in the NPFL so it’s not a big deal for a Nigerian player to play in the Scottish league…..Every Nigerian has the right to work and earn money anywhere in the world it’s not a big deal…….It only becomes a big deal when the player is a full international playing regularly for the countries National team……It only becomes a big deal when top5 league players are dropped for such a player in the national team…… please let us distinguish the point we are trying to make here.
