NIGERIA: EAGLES – AKOKO LAWMAKER BEMOANS DEARTH OF STARS -Gbenga Elegbeleye The deputy chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Sports, Hon. Olugbenga Elegbeleye, has confessed the shortage of skilled Nigerian footballers needed to raise optimism of the country’s participation in the 2010 World Cup tournament. Elegbeleye, (PDP, Akoko North/East/West, Ondo State) in an interview further admitted that the chances of the country qualifying for the 2010 World Cup tournament were dicey on account of Tunisia’s leadership of the group.In his outline of what was required for Nigeria to win the group ticket for the South Africa football mundial, Elegbeleye said Nigeria would have to beat Tunisia home and away and also trash Kenya in the same way to assure qualification for the first senior tourney on African soil. But assessing the country’s chances he said: “Let me tell you the truth, the best footballers are not from Nigeria. If you count among the first ten from Africa no Nigerian will be there. Our boys are not among the best in Africa today. It is not a matter of conspiracy against us,” he confessed in an interview. Continuing on the shortage of experienced footballers from the country, he said: “By the time they give out the CAF awards how many Nigerians win anything? With the exception of Mikel, none of our boys is playing for a big club in Europe. No Nigerian playing for Man U, no Nigerian playing for Barcelona, no Nigerian playing for Liverpool,” | He said as he noted that the only Nigerian playing for the Italian Serie A side, Inter Milan, was not a regular player. “So Nigeria does not have players among the biggest clubs in the world, so we are really not the best in Africa, we need to sit down and be patriotic. The only thing that they need to do is to sit up, train together for about two weeks and show patriotism and they will go to the field and win,” he concluded. ———-
