It is not only Victor Boniface that flops for the national team; almost all the big players in the national team who are playing very well abroad always play below people's expectations. Nigeria has a good number of players that should have helped our national team dominate African football for years and win the African Cup of Nations. I can't even remember the last time Nigeria's national team lifted the African Cup of Nations.

If I were any of these Nigerian international players, I will do the same thing without remorse. These guys have been in the system and they know whatsup. They have played in Nigeria and played outside of Nigeria. They have interacted with players from all over the world and they know how those other players are treated by their country. Our case is different. It's better I am uninjured and play for my club than to sustain injury while playing for the National team where I know that I will likely not get the best treatment.

The Nigeria national team has been performing below expectations for a very long time. If the Nigeria national team players think that the treatment they are getting from the Nigeria Football Federation is not fair compared to the treatment European countries give to their players, then they should stop playing for the Nigeria national team and focus on club football since they aren't fully committed to defending the Nigerian badge.

This should not have been the right statement to make because players work so hard to represent their individual countries on international duties and it is the responsibility of the football body of each country to take care of the well-being of those players throughout the international matches so why will the NFF be treating these players badly despite their sacrifices to the National team. Imagine how these players are well taken care of at the various leagues but when they come to their own Country they are being treated like trash without any formal recognition. If it was some European countries that have players like Victor Boniface, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman they would have made sure that they give them the best treatment ever but here in Nigeria we don't really value the worth of these players in their respective leagues.

If you are doing a job for someone and you aren't satisfied with the way the person is treating you, and you complain to the person to treat you right and the person refuses to do that, I think the best thing for you to do is to stop the work and focus on somewhere else. If Nigerian players know too well that the Nigeria Football Federation isn't giving them the right treatment they deserve, they should stop showing up for international duties so that it will enable the Nigeria Football Federation to do the needful and provide them with the right treatment they deserve.
