Samuel Eto’o a former Chelsea and Barcelona Cameroon star player has come out to bash Nigerian football board. The former Inter Milan striker said if at the end of the day Nigeria didn’t qualify for the world cup 2026, then it’s a call for reformation, overhauling their bad system.

Samuel Eto’o said: “I must be honest with you their is a smelling and bad system in Nigeria Football for years, we are all aware. It’s never the fault of the players, they are doing well outside in their different clubs.”He also said: “The current African best player is from Nigeria, the past was from Nigeria.” “If you noticed, even the referees denied Nigeria their rights because they no longer see the NFF effective.
Samuel Eto’o Calls for Fresh NFF Members in Nigeria
I’m sorry to say this, no ref would boldly ignore punishìng a player who intentionally injured an international player like Osimhen, no card was issuêd nothing at all.
“Samuel Eto’o however said he is not condemning Nigeria, but he pointed that in Africa the best players are from Nigeria but they lack good management. “We have great ex footballers in Nigeria yet politicians are appointed to run the Fōotball affairs, leaving the experienced Fōotballers behind.”
“So if Nigeria by chance didn’t qualify for the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers matches then I think it’s good so that the country will sit up, since the county are in the verge of electing new NFF leadership.
I’m urging the Nigeria Football fans to rally round for Jay Jay Okocha to emerge victorious by then we can work with him, personally I love Nigeria and our friendship has been a top notch I enjoyed a lot of praises from Nigerians fans I’m not blind, we know counties that recognizes greatness and Nigeria happens to be number one among those countries.
In conclusion, Samuel Eto’o said: “I want to cheer all African countries to emulate the lifestyle of NIGERIANs, loving and caring for their visitors.” “Thank you everyone, good luck to African players”
