Former Super Eagles Captain Austin Okocha has passed a damning verdict that football in Nigeria is as good as dead.
Okocha’s comment comes in as the lamentation on the impending non qualification of the Super Eagles for the African Cup of Nations continues following the shock defeat to Sudan on Saturday in Khartoum.
Unlike others who are out with knives calling for the sacking of Coach Stephen Keshi, Okocha posits that the issues are far beyond the Keshi or the current crop of players in the national tea m.
“Anyone that blames Keshi or the boys is short sighted. Our football is long dead and gone. This is just the confirmation” Okocha wrote on his twitter handle @IAmOkocha minutes after the Eagles defeat.
In Saturday’s game, the Africa Champions were simply pedestal as they crumbled in Khartoum thus making qualification for Morocco 2015 less attainable.
As it stands the Eagles will not only need to win all their remaining matches but they will also hope that other results go their way.
