    Who is NFF president, take history to Warri wolves, who destroyed the team. What did you expect from such a person who is self-centered. The board and coaches are taking nigerians for granted hence it was not their pains that Nigeria did not qualify for the world 2022. Hence they are at it again. Until this crop of NFF leave Nigeria football we cotinue to downplay and destroyed the young once. They are looking for a coach they can control and get percentage from his Signing.
