Checkout The 6 Things Nigerian Football Fans Can Totally Relate With Today by opeyemiieblog(m): 9:36am On Jan 16, 2017
Here are 6 things you can relate.

1. You refuse to watch the nation’s cup

because Nigeria is not playing
In the Nations cup qualifiers for 2017 in Gabon
Nigeria was grouped alongside Egypt, Tanzania,
and Chad. Nigeria scored in the 60th minute
via Ogenekaro Etebo but Nigeria couldn’t hold
on to the lead as Muhammad Salah ended
nations cup hopes for the country by scoring in
the 92nd minute. You know how such goals
can pain. Now Nigeria will not be at the
nation’s cup in Gabon and many Nigerian fans
may not watch. And trust fans, already they are
saying the nations cup is incomplete without
Nigeria.

2. When players have to protests to collect
their money

After winning the African Women’s Nations Cup
in Gabon in Cameroon, the celebrations of
Nigeria’s female team tagged the Super
Falcons was cut short as they demanded their
money. The NFF appealed to them but they
refuse. They had to carry placards to protest
before they were eventually paid. Nigerian fans
had to share pictures of Paul Biya receiving the
Cameroonian team that came second and the
champions protesting side by side which went
viral on twitter. Ironically, with all the monies
the NFF collects from FIFA and the government
it keeps shopping for money to pay players like
it did in the Super Eagles match against
Zambia.

3. When Delta airlines use us to collect 5 stars
and we still won our match against Japan

Ahhhh…Nigeria…I feel like crying now but I will
not. The Olympic football team captained by
Mikel, coached by Samson was stranded in the
United States where they camped. Meanwhile,
their matched against Japan was a few hours
away. Just as it seemed like Nigeria was going
to miss the match, Delta airlines stepped in
and flew the team to Brazil. And, the airline
didn’t allow us rest, they took their pound of
flesh by ensuring the whole knew that they were
good Samaritans. The only thing that made
fans happy while thanking the Nigerian spirit is
that Nigeria defeated Japan 3-2.

4. Buhari refuse to sack the sport minister

I am not understanding. Buhari but why?
Nigerian fans have been shouting that the boy
scout minister. Oh did I just say that? Sorry.
The sports minister is not fit to coordinate the
sports ministry. I don’t know anything. But I
heard whispers from Nigerian football falls on
social media that Buhari was quick to sack
Obazee but we have a misfiring sports minister
who us waxing stronger. Dere is god ooooh.

5. The NFF invites any player that has a
Nigerian name to play for Nigeria

Whether he is playing in the nationwide league
in England or the 3rd division in Spain, it
doesn’t matter as far as he has a Nigerian
name, he must come play for Nigeria. Nigerian
fans may be happy with these actions but what
about developing football talents in Nigeria for
the Nigerian national team?

6. Gernot Rohr defeats Algeria…Praise the
Lord!

Since the Franco-German coach, Gernot Rohr
was appointed, Nigerian football has
experienced a breath of fresh air. From the
look of things, Nigeria will qualify for the World
Cup in Russia. At least we defeated Algeria.
But, I pity Rohr if he doesn’t qualify Nigeria.
Nigerians will eat him raw!
