Upbeat? When coaches’ salaries and players’ allowances are not paid, Gusau cannot be Uubeat about anything. Nigeria will do well as usual, but winning AFCON? DOUBTS!!!
Upbeat ko, downbeat ni.
Are we also upbeat that coaches salaries and players bonuses will be paid in a timely manner?
The $7m Afcon prize money don enter dia eye. See dem.
They want monkey to work, so baboon can flex.
If we win any prize money, that money must be monitored to the last kobo. We have to use the money to offset all the outstanding gbese, for starters.
You think football na APC election! Without good preparation, you can’t rule Africa. Aboki people self!
When a country as big as Nigeria continue to handover the affairs of the country to wannabes whether political, administrative or sports management you will always end up hearing things like we shall win, haba we will qualify, we have the boys. If Nigeria were to be a country where things are done right for the interest of the country, the current NFF President and his predecessors would not have been close to the Nff floor membership . Gusau, you should go and invest in the grassroot development of our football through school system like it was in the past and stop building your castle in the air
