    Mere looking at the result breaks my heart, is it that we are not a good side or is it that we are just unlucky? walahi this nations cup has not been favourable to us. i pray for a reversal of fortune for Nigeria. i hope the coach has learnt some useful lessons on african football, it is time for him to stop paying lip service to the job he has been so well paid to do and stay in Nigeria to look for players for the national team, he can not continue to rely on this over-hyped foreign based players.

    Wole, you speak from the heart and I appreciate people who feel deep. I agree with your comments above, as they are my very thoughts shared already on African Loft and Grandiose Parlor. Walahi, the nations cup was for us but we didnt play like we wanted it, if not we would show the sort of determination Agogo and others showed for Ghana. Odemwinge and Ejide, then Mikail were the ones that showed they really really wanted a win ( oh sorry + & – Yakubu). Nigeria go better one day. We are having a bad glitch.
