Viewing The Victory Of Super Eagles From A Political Perspective by NaijaEfcc

The super Eagles have qualified, we are all happy, rejoicing that we are going to world cup to be held in Russia next year, Super eagles were in a group which is made up of Algeria, Cameroun(the reigning African champion) and Zambia, they were able to make it out of the group, Nigeria became the first country in Africa to qualify for the world cup, the make up of super eagles got me thinking, apparently the make up was individuals who were considered to be the best at the moment and can deliver what is needed, as can be seen in the past, if you fail to deliver you are dropped instantly like hot potato irrespective of your expoilts or heroics in the past as can be seen in the case of the former captain Ahmed Musa and many others.

in this case there was no federal character, otherwise Musa would have been playing and we would have kept the likes of Moses, Iwobi, Simon on the bench or not in the team at all, probably mikel, onazi,ndidi, balogun, ekong and co won't be in the team while other guys who might not be better than them will be in the team instead, and obviously we will fumble and tumble like the case of the Nigerian government we have today. If we can be this serious and choose a team based on merit on such "trivial matter" like football, why then can't we do the same for serious business that are vital to our lives like our government! We have seen that a team chosen by merit is better than one chosen based on federal character, this achievement of the super eagles tho the team is comprised mostly of Southerners brought happiness to everyone in the country! The happiness doesn't know federal character, the success and the gains it will bring doesn't know federal character rather everybody is now enjoying the fruits of this labour, funny enough the head coach is not even a Nigerian!! So my fellow compariots lets eschew sentiments and let's go for the best irrespective of tribe/ethnic group, religion/belief or colour!
