down memory lane on why he couldn’t play football professionally, his successful career, challenges and moreMy journalism career started way back in Agenebode, Edo State while I was in St Peters Grammar School, but it began to make meaning to me when Complete Football magazine published one of my articles in 1987. This was a year after I had left school and after loads of articles I had sent to them were not published. But I kept believing that I would get to read one someday, and it happened.
In the 80s and 90s, Nigerian football was top-notch with players discovered from our local leagues, but that has changed. What do you think is the cause? You can’t separate the ills in the larger society from the ills in sports in Nigeria. Fix Nigeria and sports will thrive again.I have never had issues with players who have Nigerian blood in their veins turning out for the Super Eagles. I only get angry when average players are invited to displace the few good ones from the domestic league. I want to believe that the Nigeria Football Federation under Ibrahim Gusau will put an end to this.
