Guinea a “tiny country”??? Yes Nigeria is almost 4 times the size of Guinea, they are by no means a “tiny country” given that they are in land mass size bigger than almost 40% of other African countries. Bigger than Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Tunisia, Senegal, Uganda etc
It is roughly the same size as the united kingdom. Hardly, a tiny country
This is a country that want to the Olympics. All we see is a Nigerian team to be brought together for two days camping then, the match. Yet, we expect them to perform miracles. Hmmmmmm
Naija and wahala
