The reasons why Nigeria produces world class stars are aplenty 1.they have a large population 2.soccer is the no1 sport 3.they have many players born in Europe 4.nigeria is generally very corrupt country,so politicians look only after themselves and their families,so when a Nigerian soccer player gets a chance to play overseas he grabs it ,4.they are hungry to succeed,are hard workers and are mentally strong.As a south African citizens I can also mention that the above points are also true for Brazilian players,the opposite is true for Our south African players

We actually produce far less talent than we should considering our massive population and fanaticism for football. Smaller nations like Ghana, Cameroon and Ivory Coast pack a bigger punch than we do with far fewer people. The problem is systemic lack of investment in youth development, decrepit infrastructure, and rampant corruption at all levels of government. Nigeria should be a footballing powerhouse like Brazil but the reality is far from this.

It's remarkable how westerners still think of Africa. Most of the images showed here were decades ago. Its true that Ajegunle is a low income area but there are just 100k inhabitants out of a population 229m. There are 45m people living in poverty in the U.S IMF said Nigeria will have a GDP of 1thrillion in 5years time, that's richer than 22 European countries COMBINED. I have been to 15 African cities & I was shocked by their development & quality infrastructure

Beautiful analysis. Love it. A correction though: the Super Eagles nickname of the Nigerian national team was not coined in the 1960s. It was coined in 1988 after that year's AFCON tournament. Prior to 1988, they were known as the Green Eagles. Before that they were known as the Red Devils before the name change to the Green Eagles in the early 70s.

@lucacasagrande2456 Жыл бұрын

The true problem is not to find the talent, but to find a technical guide for the national team. See what happened when a very well prepared african coach (Regregui) took the bench of a good african team like Morocco: first African semifinalist in a WC. That's it, they have to invest in better structures and formation for coaches and you will see the difference
