Nigerians want all 'braggarts' out Faro camp

"It's all non-sense and a show of shame.  It only shows that, we are a nation that does not, and not ready to learn from our past mistakes.nigeriasports.com spoke with a Nigerian, who is an ardent follower of the game, though an insurance practitioner, Mr. Julius Olom in Sportcity last night and as far as he was concerned, the ugly condition of our preparation, is "nothing to write home about."

"Oh boy," he started, "are we preparing?  All I can see, is confusion.  With our reservoire of players of global recognition, nothing should stop us from winning the Africa Nations Cup for keeps. But rather unfortunately, the reverse is the case. 

 Two or three weeks to the kick-off of the event, where all other African nations are ready, Nigeria is just going to camp...that is what they call a camp, is really one."

Olom was not through, he nailed home further:  "See what is happening.  When all teams for the show are ready, is when some of our 'key players' are sending signals of their unpreparedness for the competition. 

 As far as I am concerned, Coach Austin Eguavoen, if he is truly a coach that is worth its salt, should call the bluff of these so-called internationals and ensure that, the home boys, who left here for Faro, Portugal, form the core of his team.

"I do not believe in these things people talk about 'experience'. The hungrier you are, as far as I am concerned, the more and hotter a player performs on the field of play. 

" If I were in the suits of Eguavoen, I would keep strictly to the FIFA rules for international players to report to camp for their home country, if

invited...and anyone, who fails to report on January 6, 2006, is considered out of the nation's squad for the competition.  I rest my case," Olom, whose second wife besides his love for his wife, is football drove home unrepentantly.

Olom's views were not personal...all Nigerian ball nuts nigeriasports.com spoke with offered similar responses.
