Sunday Oliseh and the road to Nigeria’s football glory

BY VICTOR AMOS

It seemed it was never going to end.  The controversies surrounding Nigerian football senior men’s team, the Super Eagles kept growing bigger and louder.  From the ever present squabbling in the NFF over leadership changes, to the poor and ordinary football exhibited by the Super Eagles, the negative press kept coming.  It was becoming more and more of a circus and Nigerians, who worshiped football as a second religion were already fed up.  The problems kept piling, especially after the 2014 FIFA World Cup Fiasco in Brazil.  

Paul Bassey should be celebrated - Coach Umoh

The Zonal Sports Coordinator incharge  of Ukanafun/Oruk Anam/Ika Sport Zone, Coach Aniekan Umoh has described the camping and training of athletes selected during the final of the last Akwa Ibom State NNPC/Mobil All Secondary Schools Athletics Championship at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium as a welcome development and one of the best ways of encouraging grassroot sports development in the state.

Coach Umoh who spoke with sports journalists after watching the final of the training on Saturday noted that with the caliber of coaches and experts brought in by the Consultant of the project, Mr. Paul Bassey to handle the athletes, the sky will be their limit if they remain focused, committed and ready to take their career seriously.
