Yeah this is happening because of the "you owe us mentality. The coaches are getting appointments not based on merits but based on connections they have and people that can do what the cartels want. This is a playground for most of the politicians because they choose people that they have relationships with to get into the national team. They're using their influence to give their people visibility without caring about how it's affecting the team play. We have reduced from the footballing nation we used to be known for to a joke now and haven't won the AFCON tournament in like more than a decade.
Thats the settings here and how will it change, it can only change when we have a system that believe in transparency and merit system of whether appointment, it has become very worrisome in our football settings to see politicians taking over everything, too bad, there dressing alone when we have football matches will tell you that those guys are not sports people, they are just their on appointment bases carrying out the instructions of their bosses not minding what what may may likely happen to our national team as far as they can syphone money meant for running of the team, I get pissed discussing things that has to do with Nigerian football because our leaders have made everything to look like a joke.
