    It is unfortunate that Nigerian Rulers always play politics with virtually everything. With due respect to Amodu Shuaibu, I want to use this opportunity to ask the boys representing the country (Football Players) to reject any invitation to play for Nigeria anymore because in doing that, those playing Politics with football in our country will be out of business and there will be a genuine rethink in how things should be done. How could those bigots continue up to recycle themselves when there are hungry and vibrant young coaches who want to make name for themselves and their country are there begging to be given the opportunity. It is a shame reading news from Nigeria and you won't but say, the country is surrounded by bunch of hypocrites who doesn't mean well for the Nation but only for goes into their pocket. What was the sin of Amodu that he was sacked and what have they suddenly found in him to re-appoint him when there are more young people with good and modern certificate around, simply because they won't compromise their conscience. Shame to all of you managing the affairs of my beloved country, Nigeria.
