| 13/05/2002, On the 31st of May, 2002, thirty-two countries will begin a competition
to determine who wins the World Cup, a trophy to determine the best
footballing nation in the world so to say. While Nigeria will be
adequately represented there as one of the five qualifiers from the
African continent, it is still searching for the twenty-three or so
footballers that will represent the country following the sacking of its
coaching staff led by Shuaibu Amodu and the team that represented it in
the Africa Nations Cup 2002 tournament in Mali in January. The
replacement of the coaching staff by a new coach led by Festus Adegboye
Onigbinde and disbandment of the team following the not too good
performance by those who played for Nigeria in Mali has made it
mandatory that a new set of footballers must be recruited to prosecute
the World Cup. The question that followers of Nigerian soccer ask is:
will these measures change the fate of Nigerian soccer which is in
itself suffering from a lot of teething problems at home thereby forcing
many brilliant youths with bright prospects in the game to seek greener
pastures elsewhere?
