Remeber the world cup or something when the politicians made the flight but the Eagles didn't. It is happening again in a slightly different way.

They don't really care about NIGERIA - just their political ambitions and pockets. Nobody!!!

FOLLOWING Sunday’s drug incident at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos, which forced the cancellation of the Iberia Airliner that the Super Eagles players were boarding to Madrid en route Lima for Wednesday’s international friendly against Peru, it was double pain for the team as it missed it connecting flight from Madrid to Lima.

The team departed Lagos at about 10:30 am Nigerian time and got into Madrid at 4:30 Nigerian time, only to be told by officials of Iberia Airways that they have missed their flight to Lima, which had left earlier in the day, thus forcing the team to put up at the Madrid Airport, since they had only airport transit visas and could not be checked into any hotel in the city that parades European giants; Real Madrid.

Provision was, however, made for the team’s meal at the airport by officials of Iberia and later in the night players and officials moved to an arranged lounge where they put up and had light refreshments before going to bed.

On being informed of the development, NFF President Aminu Maigari put a phone call through the team psychologist Dr Robinson Okosun to head coach Stephen Keshi, to charge the players not to be deterred by events that almost truncated the international friendly.

Whats the big deal? How many people sleep at airports worldwide due to missed flights?

Nobody plans to miss their flight, but if they do, and the airline provides no alternative, then, boy, be ready to sleep at the airport/

As usual, shoddy preparation and an avenue to cause "chaos", which is a fertile ground for breeding corruption!

When will these nitwits stop embarrassing us PUBLICLY? Or are we the only nation in the world? angry angry

@ Lastpage, How is the drug incident "shoddy preparations"? What part of "missed flight" did you not understand?
Re: Imagine This: Eagles Miss Flight, Sleep In Madrid Airport by kombats: 2:29pm On May 23, 2012
not new nah

@OP
What is there to "Imagine"? there is nothing in this. If the useless NFF doesnt want the team to miss flights then they should acquire one for them and stop boarding commercial flights or let the 'super eagles' use their super wings to fly direct into Lima.

I am in Lima now and they better not use this as an excuse when loosing this game.

make dem try
Re: Imagine This: Eagles Miss Flight, Sleep In Madrid Airport by Opoki(m): 3:06pm On May 23, 2012
Well this's a tenable excuse because they will perform below expectation as expected and the headline will be
"Super Eagles Chief blames poor performance on hitchs at the airport"
Re: Imagine This: Eagles Miss Flight, Sleep In Madrid Airport by Nobody: 3:09pm On May 23, 2012
After all the stress, we will still expect them to deliver. undecided
Re: Imagine This: Eagles Miss Flight, Sleep In Madrid Airport by oloriooko(m): 3:52pm On May 23, 2012
What were they expecting? If you miss your flight definitely in most cases you must miss the connecting flight! So what is the noise about?

This is where the NFF should have come to help. I wonder what would have happened if the English team had missed such flight undecided

Well this has given the players good excuse to lose the match and come back home.

Let them sleep by the roadside if they like. Afterall, we already know the end result.
There's nothing like 'Super Eagles' again!!!

Too many ignoramus parading themselves as informed analyst on NL. What is the big deal about missing your flight?. If you want to avoid it, then go buy your own private Jet. At least, those of you criticizing BISHOP OYEDEPO for owning Jets will now understand the reason why.
