South Africa 2010 World Cup, Nigeria There At Last
My heart literally stopped when Kenya equalized to tie the game at 2 goals apiece, and that, when Mozambique had scored against Tunisia to give us hope.
But no sooner had the Kenyans equalized than Obafemi Martins scored what turned out to be the winning goal.
I could not stop shouting and celebrating, for we have finally made it to Africa’s world cup. Did is say i shouted, yeah, like most other Nigerians who had previously given up hope and had written off the chances of the Super Eagles ever hoisting the Nigerian flag at next year’s mundial. Ain’t we all hypocrites, well that’s story for another day.
It was really hard to imagine Africa hosting it’s first ever world cup and Nigeria not being there, not being at a second successive world cup.
But it is like a new wind is blowing behind our back, and this is quite refreshing. Today we play for a chance to win the Under 17 world cup for a record 4th time, and it seems like the luck and fortune brought in by the scintillating performances of the Golden Eaglets have also shown on the senior national team.
Okay, so we have qualified, therein lies our problem. We are never proactive. All of us, even the shit heads in the so-called glass house, the NFF know that their man, i.e 
Amodu is not a capable hand. He does not have the technical nor the tactical ability to blend the gifted individuals that make up the Super Eagles. He should be relieved of the post and a more capable hand given the job.
A lot of people are calling for a foreign technical adviser, but i will fault this because with barely seven months to kick off, we need somebody who is not only versed in the workings of Nigerian football, but one who is also technically sound.
Siasia has proven that he is not only sound, but also very stubborn, a vital ingredient needed to succeed as a coach of any of the national teams. I think the NFF should not delay in naming him the next coach head coach of the national team.
But hey, we have qualified for the world cup and that from a very unlikely situation. I don’t know about you, but am now making my preparations for my trip to South Africa.

With the draws now out yesterday, the spirit is high and making believe Africa can finally win it. Do you think Nigeria is in that mist?
I don’t think so. We should be thinking of how to get the team qualify for the quarter final stages and forget about winning. That will be too much of a dream.
