Nigeria missing out on the 2026 World Cup. It should come as a blessing and not a worry. The signs of decline have been obvious for all to see. Some are sad that Nigeria failed to qualify, but I am relieved that we don’t deserve to go if we can not top a group that includes South Africa and Benin Republic. Nigeria’s football story is a rise, a fall, and an unresolved promise. I still remember the first time I watched the Green Eagles, Morocco ’88, when I was just ten, and how the loss to Cameroon somehow lit a fire in me rather than dimmed it. From the Miracle of Dammam in ’89 to Algiers ’90, and then the golden era of the early ’90s and 2000s when the Super Eagles conquered the 1994 AFCON, dazzled the world at USA ’94, won Olympic gold in Atlanta ’96, reached another AFCON final in 2000, and consistently produced world-class talents who played with heart, hunger, and national pride. Those were the days when Nigeria didn’t just have players. We had warriors. I saw it with my own eyes in Surulere during the 2000 Nations Cup final. Having once been called up myself to the Under 17 team before injury denied me the chance, I know firsthand how deep the rot goes.
But the decline of Nigerian football didn’t happen overnight. It has been engineered, slowly, deliberately, by incompetence, corruption, and a culture that places personal gain above national progress. The administrators entrusted with nurturing football have instead strangled its growth, delaying player entitlements, mismanaging funds, neglecting infrastructure, and suffocating young talent with politics instead of developing it with vision and abandoned those who fought, bled and even died on the pitch playing for Nigeria. Players can’t give their all when their welfare is ignored, and they also see how their predecessors were treated. Coaches can’t build lasting systems when leadership is unstable. Even the women’s game, which should have been a source of pride, has suffered the same careless neglect. We have wasted potential on a scale that would be unthinkable in nations with a fraction of our talent base.
The way forward is not mysterious; it is simply overdue. We must separate politics from football and hand the reins to those who understand the game from the inside out: our ex-players, our seasoned professionals, the people who have bled for the green-white-green and know what it takes to succeed on and off the pitch. Their experience, discipline, and global exposure can rebuild the structures we have allowed to crumble. We need transparent administration, modern training facilities, youth development programs that actually develop youth, and a system that rewards merit over politics. Nigeria has millions of young players ready to carry the torch, but they need a federation that serves them, not exploiting them. If we empower the right people and restore dignity to the sport, Nigerian football can rise again, not by miracle, but by deliberate action grounded in reason, honesty, and common sense.
@silverpenydr God bless you for all you do. @silverpenydr pls consider teachers trying to survive too. Many of us need laptop to key delve into this online teaching. No be everybody go do tech abeg
This is my view
A man with a sincere heart to empower 10,000 Nigerian youths deserves our support, not criticism. Instead of doubting his intentions, let’s rally around him and help make his vision a reality. If more people join hands with him, we can truly build opportunities for the youth and create lasting impact. Let’s hope this dream doesn’t fade like others before it.
