@Dave_Lummy5: When it comes to Nigerians, why are we consistent at this thing? What are others seeing that we seem not to see once a Nigerian is involved?

@yemmy84: Nah the person wey won coach super eagle be that. Yeye Dey smell 🙄

@GodfreyAig39212: If that is true he will never coach the super eagles. Never

@gloryglorySE: I’m shocked

I’m stunned

I’m really surprised

You couldn’t just do it for the culture???

@SKparevfa16: This is the person Nigerian journalists advocate to be the coach of SE. Patriotism aside, by all standards Sallah was nowhere near Osimhen last season, 8th best player in the world, Mahrez should have even been ahead of Sallah. No local coach is good for the SE presently.

@Sageoftwopaths: Though amuneke is a legend, he’s totally wrong, and I don’t want to overthink this joke. Cause he really sounds bitter and has nothing to do with his opinions
