The NFF would have loved to address you today but he’s busy attending to other things in Lagos and he has told me to address you today. We welcome you.

I can’t stop laughing lolz. Collective football that faded away when your foriegn team played against Cameroon?
Now, you are encouraging our home based team to play together when your team couldn’t play as a team?
Super Eagles were playing kerewa kerewawa patern against Sierra Leone, what happened in the end?
It’s just a pity that our oppressors have failed us. Good luck to our home based team. You can do it boys. It is well. God bless Nigeria!!!
