Achieving football dream in Nigeria - Men and football

Mr George says Nigerian footballers can do well if they nurture the young at early stage

It is a game that units people in the world, the passion is drive, it’s crazy when you see people pay so much money to watch football. Most people will rather pay to go to a bar if they can’t afford to go live to the stadium where its happening live than seat in the comfort of their home to watch it.

I love Chelsea, the club has history in signing African footballers, they believe in African strength for example  Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast,Micheal Essien of Ghana, Michael obi of Nigeria.

England,Italy,Spain,France,Argentina,Brazil, these are countries we’ve known to produce world best players, the likes of lionel messi, zinedine zidane, luis figo,in nurturing the young,it is different how Nigeria showcase our young talent  as a case study.

You can’t compare country like England to Nigeria that the parents recognizes talent of his child at tender age and they go all out to see that he gets every support and opportunity to achieve his dream of being a footballer once they see the talent in the child, whereas, in Nigeria when a child displays such interest as having football as a career, the child gets scolded for it and they won’t buy the idea because they see it as waste of time. They prefer if the child is a doctor, lawyer etc.

We must not rely on Government for everything. Rich individuals  who have passion for football can create an avenue  where young ones can showcase their talent, though the likes of Ifeanyi Ubi united, is there could ,but there could be more individuals .

Chelsea is one of the best football club in the world, it has so many players and coaches. Most importantly they have a good owner of the club that loves football.

I will say this in Economic term, Chelsea is under “recession” they are always out there to win, I love Chelsea because their ultimate goal is to win, although, lately, the underdog clubs are winning us, but that notwithstanding, we are still the great club ever.
