Every weekend the world watches Nigerians – Osihen, Iwobi, Chukwueze, Ebuehi,Simon, Okereke, Awoniyi playing at the highest level of football. Yet sone people, including Eguavoen want to include home-based, mediocre footballers in the Super Eagles. Anybody playing football in the Nigerian League cannot be good enough to play international football.
