There was a great counterculture movement that developed in Europe and America during the 1960s. It is often called the hippies movement. Generally it was just a rebellion against the standards of society and protests against established norms. The vegan movement, feminism, gay sex and sexual freedom, drug experimentation and legalization, anti-war and pacifist movements, civil rights movement, make love not war music by John lennon, music of rebellion by the great rock bands including our own fela and his british wife etc all blossomed during the 60s and 70s. Students were in the trenches and forefront of such movements and what better way to eschew and spit on societal norms than to join your blood and heritage with a forbidden and spurned race.

And many of our men then were quite exceptional, remember it was the best of us that were sent abroad and such brilliance, courage and resilience would always be admired..and of course there is that curiosity of checking out if all the centuries old rumors of the prowess of the black men in bed.

So quite a number of factors came to play I guess.

i will rather keep quiet since there is no evidence

Then, why tell us if you know it won't leave the "interview" stage?

We need to start wising up, get evidence since they know it's becoming normal here.

If you are not cool with stuffs like this, set them up and start getting them punished!

Philosopher1979:
Nigerian players are skilled BUT TECHNICALLY DEFICIENT AND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. Nigerians play football with their raw skills alone. Ahmed musa is fast and mobile but his crosses are not accurate. Pius ikedua is skillfull but lacks vision. Egwueke (who played under keshi) was strong and tall but could not mark or pass well and had bad positioning etc
Most of our talented players are badly coached. The average nigerian coach is outdated and lacks knowledge of the modern game.
We need to arrange tutorials for all our coaches. Our coaches need massive reorientation for our football to develop
We need a new generation of tactically sound nigerian coaches who can turn a skillfull ball jugler into eden hazard.
This is what is missing.
The foreign born players are simply under better coaches and career managers and that is all.
In fact Ibrahimovic was just a dribbler until he went to ac milan and a coach transformed him yo a gial scoring machine.
This issue needs to be addressed

The problem with those old men is that they are not living with the times. Several non African nations have had foreign coaches. If he is saying we should not recruit them just because they are white, he is very much on point. Our recruitment must be strategic, not tubu mess am.

That explains a lot. But then what percentage of the Western population sympathized with the counterculture movement? I would think only a comparatively small percentage did. Most of them were still racist. And how do we account for the mixed babies we produced in Russia (then Soviet Union), and Eastern Europe where there was virtually no such pacifist or pro black movement and open and unapologetic racism was almost a state policy (even till today)?.

Don't mind them.... am even looking for the possibility where we can president and governors self this old folks that have failed this country keep messing up things for the future

safarigirl:


I'm always pained when old men set themselves up for insults.

Thesedays, anytime I see Odegbami's name, I'm prepared to read the words of a bitter, old man with unnecessary beef. I imagine Rohr reading his bitter leaf-tainted words while sipping on a glass of juice, then shrugging his shoulders and scrolling to more important news.

Journalists have got to be subtly trolling Odegbami, to keep allowing him wail up and down like this

Bro...let's import expatriates for leadership positions nahhh

"I was told to pay €10,000(N4.8M) if I want to be invited"- Sarki on why he dumped Nigeria for Haiti

By Hassan Odunayo Ruth


Ex Chelsea and Nigeria youth international, Emmanuel Sarki has made a stunning allegation against the former coaches of the Nigerian National team, claiming he was asked to pay a sum of €10,000 before he'd get a call up to the team.


This allegation is coming few hours after former Super Eagles winger, Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke in an Instagram live chat with Kelechi Bernard claimed he was asked to pay a bribe if he was to make the squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

It'd be recalled that Emmanuel Sarki featured for Nigeria's Under 17, 20 and 23 teams and most notably scored two goals as Nigeria finished runners up in the 2007 African Under-20 Championship but failed to play for the Nigerian senior national team as he switched allegiance to Haiti.


Speaking to Mohammed Suleiman of Liberty Radio Sportshow, Sarki has backed up the claims made by Obasi stating he was also told same at around the same time, he said:

"While I was in Poland with Wisla Krakow, my club president spoke with the national team coaches inviting them to come and watch me. He was asked to pay for the air ticket and other expenses which he accepted. I was now called by same people my club contacted and was told I should pay €10,000 if I want to be invited that coming to watch me isn’t enough. At that point my club president, Mr Bernard felt really bad just as me".

Sarki, though he has managed just 4 Caps for Haiti since 2014 revealed he has no regrets dumping Nigeria for Haiti:

"My choice to play for Haiti is one that I have no regrets about it because I have found peace and also professionalism where I am right now. This issue of bribe for spot is not something that people will say they don’t know. So Obasi is right".


Though both players failed to mention the name of the coach or coaches that asked them to pay bribe, but it'd be recalled that late Stephen Keshi was the manager of the Super Eagles at that time.
