Former Tremendous Eagles’ goalkeeper and one-time media officer, Idah Peterside has come out with a sweeping allegation that Nigerian soccer directors don’t respect former gamers of the sport.
Talking towards the backdrop of complaints by some ex-internationals that their voices are at all times ignored once they converse out on points that have an effect on the spherical leather-based recreation, Idah mentioned he usually seems like preserving quiet and easily ignore what he known as ‘the rot’ in Nigerian soccer.
The previous shot-stopoer, who grew to become a sports activities analyst on cable tv and pastor, roared: “I don’t need to get into the Nigerian case, however I’ve seen this rotteness for a really very long time.
“We’ve complained deeply, however generally they suppose as a result of we performed soccer, we don’t qualify to run soccer, and it’s an enormous disgrace.”
Idah, who starred within the Nigerian Skilled Soccer League (NPFL) and South African prime flight throughout his heyday, went on to flaunt his private credentials, which he believes qualify him to talk out as an authority on points that have an effect on Nigerian soccer.
“I went to high school, I’ve sufficient training, and I performed the sport. You should have the power to handle issues, a enterprise, or no matter it’s so as to have the ability to run an organisation.
“However, generally they don’t honour us, they usually don’t respect former gamers. When you play soccer, they take a look at you as a dropout,” Peterside harassed ruefully.
