Although many of us are not surprised, but these were the words of former super eagles coach Clemens Westerhof as he accused members of Nigeria's football Association during an interview with Supersports.
“We had a situation where we had the wrong people in the wrong places, even in the (Nigeria) FA”. “We had cases where players paid $15,000 to the coach and say ‘I want to play for the national team’ and the coach would accept. They bought their way into the national team and it was an unbelievable situation. Very sad. I know these things,” “My captain (Keshi) is there now and you can see the changes because he
selects the right people. “Nigeria beat Liberia 6-1 in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and outclassed Venezuela (in an international friendly earlier this month). The results come because players are now selected on merit. “If Keshi can manage to hold that group together things will get even better. If there is discipline everywhere; the players sleep in time and live like professionals, work like professionals and think like professionals and even go to the toilet like professionals, then you will see Nigeria will come back,”
