Man, I should be in Ivory Coast for the AFCON as I got an invite from a friend who lives out there but my schedule just got messed up.
Would have been great to be there.

Umar Sadiq out of AFCON… Idk why JP even called him to begin with. He was just coming back from a long term injury….
We already have Copa America going on the US this summer so I’ll be there for that. WC 2026 is already a must attend.
Totally agree. I’m there for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco though. That one will be June-July so easier to get to.

Once I saw Ahmed Musa, and Umar Sadiq in the squad I lost all hope for Nigeria to win it.
Great individuals in a shytty country/system that fails to develop talent at the grassroots level.
Osimhen is a lottery ticket that happened to be at the right place at the right time. There’s a bunch of Osimhen level talent for several positions in Nigeria…but NFF/Nigeria gotta stay tapped into the fukery

Bro, tell me about it. A country of 170M+ will deff have a bunch of ballers there.
I was just in Naija like 2 weeks ago and we simply are our own worst enemies when it comes to progress and advancement. Football is symptomatic of that
