Ever since the qualification of Nigeria for the First world cup on African soil, the NFF has continued to politic the search for a new couch to replace Amodu. I will like to be straight here. all Nigerians know that Amodu cannot take Nigeria to stardom in the 2010 FIFA world cup in South Africa. it still puzzle me that a concrete decision have not yet been reached for a new couch that will take us to the Nation's cup and also the world cup.
Nigeria need not to pass through the heart breaks they have undergone previously during the qualification for the mundial. i will like my fellow patriots to tell who ever that can here that we need a capable couch to take us to the world cup 2010.

NIGERIA 5 - 0 NEW ZEALAND
The Nigerian Golden Eaglets yesterday white washed their New-zealand counter part with a five (5) unreplied goals to their favor. this thrilling performance has been the best for the young eagles since the start of this U-17 world cup.
The game ended with 3 goal from the first half and later two goal in the second half. the New zealand never gave good account of themselves in that match. Nigeria had an easy run and let us don't be deceived by that victory cos Korea is next.
The Eagles should forget about merriment now and focus on beating Korea which is the next game. i believe it is not over until it is over. UP NIGERIA GOLDEN EAGLES. OUR LAND, OUR TROPHY.

HEARTLAND ALMOST 2009 CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CHAMPION
Yesterday, at the Dan Ayiam Stadium in Owerri Imostate, Heartland FC defeated TP Mazembe with a narrow 2 – 1 win in the first leg of this year’s CAF Champions League final.
The “Naze Millionaires” had to come from a goal down, after Mazembe striker, Tresor Mputu had stunned the home crowd with a 23rd minute opener.
However, Heartland responded instantly with an equalizer barely a minute later through King Osanga, before Uche Agba sealed the slim victory for Heartland with an 80th minute strike.
The Nigerians have it all to do in the second leg coming up in Lubumbashi, Congo on Saturday, if they are to make history by clinching the continent’s premier club competition trophy for the first time.
TP Mazembe last won the the CAF Champion’s League title in 1968.

History of the Globacom Premier League
The Globacom Premier League is the official name of the football League in Nigeria. It is the highest level of domestic football in Nigeria. It is fed into by the two First Division groups: the Nigerian Division 1-A and Nigerian Division 1-B. It is organised by the Nigeria Football Association. The Nigeria Footbal League (NFL) Chairman is Mr. Oyuiki Obaseki.
The league was founded in 1972 with six teams. The league was rechristened the "Professional League" in 1990 with a goal to modernize the game and make clubs self-sufficient. Decrees 10 and 11 which codified the introduction of professional football in Nigeria stipulated that professional clubs should be run as limited liability companies each governed by a regularly-constituted board of directors and required to hold annual general meetings, present independently audited accounts, cultivate youth/feeder teams and own their own stadia within five years of registration with the Pro League Department. To assist Pro League clubs in the timely achievement of these stated goals, all 56 professional clubsides that constituted the inaugural Pro League First and Second Divisions were granted a five-year tax moratorium on all income starting from 1990.
As of the 2002 season the league became known as the Globacom Premier League, due to sponsorship from the Globacom telecomunications company. From 1999-2007, there was an end of season Championship mini-league called the "Super Four". The top four teams would play a round robin at a neutral site to determine the league champion.
After the 2006 competition, the league changed its calendar to more closely match the common European regular season structure (starting around August and ending around May).
