Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, the former governor of Abia State, has said it is easier to win the World Cup than to clinch the African Champions League title, stressing that if given the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to manage, he would bring the World Cup to Nigeria in three years.
The sports enthusiast, who made the disclosure yesterday during an interview in his office in Abuja, emphasized: “It is an easy job, it is not difficult, we have the human and capital resources. World Cup is the easiest thing to win, the African Champions League Cup is harder.”
He explained that the problem with Nigerians is that they do not allow the people who are knowledgeable about something to do it. Dr. Kalu further noted that the problem with the Nigerian coaches and managers was that they are lazy and do not do their homework very well, stressing: “Football is not about being in the office, you must be on the field and have an in depth knowledge of the game.
Well...given his success with the peoples elephant,,, I think Mr Kalu should not overrate himself biko....football at world stage is a different ball game.....its suicide to blame Nigerian coaches and exonerate the players who cheats with their age declaration n negative mindset on the field of play.....if Mr Kalu fancy his chances at the glasshouse,, then let him contest for the position since it's an elective position
ReplyDeleteI like his confidence. It's a good thing to know he loves the game and it's those kinda of folks we need to be at the helm of affairs in our football administration.
