The day Nigeria will host theirs is not in this generation. Seriously speaking other countries are doing well in football aspect but why Nigeria are out of well performance?
Nigeria already hosted the U-17 World Cup in 2009 in case you forgot
Our generation has already hosted and it went well
We also hosted the FIFA U20 World Cup 10 years earlier in 1999. A tournament that featured Casillas, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Joseph Yobo etc. The 2009 U17 featured Mario Gotze, Neymar, Omeruo, Onazi, Isco, etc. We have done our bit.
