God bless Zimbabueree and other local based players (apologies Tarara lol)
Meanwhile, in Nigeria, local players wanna gate crash our best national football product when they are mostly empty for the 2026 game. Lol.
Thumbs up @Sly. NFF must not try to fly homebase players into the camp. They will cry if they try it. It is a lie to say homebase players are good enough. We should not be shy to speak the truth.
Heaven bless Sly and all deserving Super Eagles fans that are not shy of speaking the truth.
