World Cup Qualifier - Thank God Nigeria will not qualify

Trust Nigerians, they dont joke with football at all, and I can imagine the bashing I will get from this. For instance, they have resorted to their old song of how only God can help us qualify. When will Nigerians learn to accept responsibility? God is sick and tired of us. I mean we have all the time in this world to seal the ticket here in Abuja, and God seems to answer only my own prayer that we should not win.
Thank God we didnt win, I will continue to pray that we do not qualify for South Africa. All is not well with this country, and I dont want football to hide our problem, moreso when our football itself is not in good order. Until Nigeria learn to do things right, we will continue to struggle, enough of all this fire brigade approach to all facets of our life.
Yeah, that is the point, our youth are all at home, because their lecturers are on strike, those who can afford it have withdrawn their children from the striking schools to private own university, whereas it is the same sets of people who make the public university go on strike that now own the private university. We deceived ourselves in this country a lot, tell me how can a private university survive, if there is no problem with the public university? Now, we all want our super eagles to qualify, we dont need any football to hide our sorrow, let not the football be our consoling factors everytime. For us to qualify, is to make it look like everything is well in this country. to qualify is to let the NFA add that to their achievement, as if all is well with our football, to qualify is to let the government of the day believed that we are doing things right. God, Please dont let us qualify for the world cup for the second time in a row.

Take it from the players point of view. We all know what will happen to them if while playing for this country, something happen to them. But because, the country is not in a good state, they can never give in their best, whereas, when it come to their club assignment, they put in everything. So what is the cause of that? because so many things is wrong with this country. A clear case is that of Samuel Okwaraji, and of course until recently, and i dont know if it is true, Nigeria just redeemed her pledge to the players who won African cup of nations which nigeria won last in 1980 - can you beat that? Ponder over that!!!
