It’s a scam dey always cold draw to pair Nigeria and Ghana in other to eliminate Nigeria. Mad criminals and @Nff will never talk about seeding. Las las Bad Selections, Bad Preparation, Bad Coaching and Finally Bad Officiating will end up eliminating Nigeria. Gusua will still remain as the NFF president. What an Era of Egypt for Nigerian football no Afcon talkless of World Cup qualification.
