    What is there to inspect in Kaduna? will they find Boko Haram there or a suicide bomber sitting in the stadium to greet the NFF during the inspection? That stadium hosting an international game is high risk, in view of Jihadist elements ravaging Northern Nigeria. No one knows when something drastic will occur. Secondly, the temperatures and humidity are high in March – April there. Bear in mind that our players will be coming from the European winter. The Egyptians must be rubbing their hands with glee!!! The NFF is playing politics with the safety of players and the crowd watching them. What’s this romance with Kaduna anyway? The pitch is bumpy and bone dry, and there are better pitches in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo and Calabar. This country, I wonder..!!!

    The Eagles will fall, and remain down as long as the fool Oliseh remains in charge. Any expectation other than failures is nothing but insanity
