 Welcome back as as always on Fridays we wrap up the conversation talking sports and this morning Wale Scott has joined us to discuss on the new Super Rigos coach that will be announced soon. Good morning to Wale Scott. Thanks for joining us. We hear that Jose Mourinho was contacted or was mentioned in the conversation and I fell down laughing when I saw that. It's laughable really. Some of us who are sports presenters are tired of Armadupinix grandstanding. Of course you didn't contact Jose Mourinho and he just got a job with Roma in Italian Syria so he's not going to take a Nigerian job not now and we know that Mourinho is going to coach a national team, it's going to be Portuguese national team, Portugal is country not Nigeria and Mourinho won't come here. I will advise him not to come because it's enough embarrassment the way we treat our coaches. Don't forget that Gennaro actually had to take a 20% pay cut in the course of doing his job to keep it. I don't know why he loves Nigeria so much but we're hearing that a sladdish or something a Croatian name a Czech Republic name will be named soon and we're asking ourselves a question. Austin Egoavoim played in the Super Rigos at the grassroot level. This guy knows Nigerian football and using this as an example just on the side now Steven Keshi took the Nigerian Super Rigos to the nation's cup and he won that nation's cup and we beat the biggest team in Africa at that point in time. They had Didier Drogba, Kono Turei, everybody who mattered in world football in that Ivorian scene and we beat them to one and everybody felt it wasn't going to happen and the Ivorian coach said listen if I had a list of people who would give me problems in that match Sunday back who scored the second goal for Nigeria wasn't in that list because it was Nigerian based. We need a coach who's going to look inwards so we're tired of going to Pakistan Kazakhstan to go and look for players when we have raw talent in our Nigerian league here. Is it players or coaches where you're talking about now? We're talking about coaches. We're hoping that he's the one who's going to take the Nigerian team to the nation's cup and we start on January 9th and then we're hoping that he will look inwards even if just two or three players, even if they don't play. So my concern is you know for the fact that we constantly have to consider looking outwards I mean getting foreign coaches to come coach our own team. Is it that what you have mentioned some names now what's the issue like we don't believe in the people we have or Nigeria is the only country that I know that our NFF president our Football Federation president doesn't talk to us the journalists. He feels I don't have to talk to you. He's very arrogant. I'm a jupynex that is and nobody like I'm insisting to do on the show no sports presenter can say I have seen Gennaro's contracts. We don't know what he's what he's using there ordinarily in a contract by a country to a coach we'll say improve on your nation's league. We don't know if that is said in Gennaro's and I doubt that Gennaro has never looked inwards. He goes on the internet and looks for footballers who play their trades abroad whether it's Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, wherever but not in Nigeria and we have talent here. For example, I can boastfully say we don't have a free kick taker in the Super Eagles as we speak and we have more than five footballers in Nigerian league who have scored almost all their goals from set pieces. Why can't we look inwards? So what's the problem then? They just don't trust the league. The structure is bad. The structure is bad and so most coaches don't want to take that risk. But what I was saying to Gennaro then when I met him at the stadium before Nigeria played one of our matches for the qualifiers I told Gennaro, listen, I'm not saying play them. At least give them the experience. Let them follow the team abroad. Let them be on the bench. Let them be able to play football as okay. When they see them messy one day they will be scared. But shouldn't this be a policy of the NFF? Is it dependent on the coach? If we bring a coach from Iraq that continues to do the same thing shouldn't we have like a policy that the NFF puts on ground because you don't do this in England? That was what Messi just asked me now. Messi said what's the problem? Probably simple. None of us have read Gennaro's contracts. We don't know what he says. But we believe most sports analysts in Nigeria believe that it should be part of, it should be close. In that contract that says, listen, you must improve on your dad nation's league. In the English national team, I remember a point when the EPL, the English Premier League, insisted that St. Wenger had too many foreign-based players in his team and he must put, and then there was a law. There's a law in England as we speak. Out of your 11 players on the field of play in England, you must have at least six English players. But well, you must have it. If you don't see it on Gennaro's contract, shouldn't you see it as a policy of the NFF? It should be a policy. So we don't have to look at their individual contracts to see that. But we don't have the contract. We don't have the contract. But we insist that we're saying that, listen, like I said earlier, I'm a GP, Nick is the NFF president. He doesn't listen to anyone. He's a very arrogant person. Now we have been telling him, listen, shouldn't it be part of the coach's contract that, listen, you must get involved. In fact, I was even... No, I'm thinking that what he's asking now is, shouldn't it be part of the NFF, like the entire, you know, Football Federation? Shouldn't it be part of the policy? So is it part of the policy now? What I suggested at a point, I suggested two things at a point and I got into big trouble for it. I can assure you. The first... Big trouble. I was suggesting Senates looks into one. If you are a foreign-based company in Nigeria and you work in Nigeria and you're making money from Nigerians, you must invest at least 5% of your earnings, yearly earnings, to a particular sport, whatever sport you want. It doesn't have to be football. You must pay money to it. Egypt is doing it now. Secondly, we must have at least three, even if they are on the bench, three home-based players in all our national teams, football, basketball, all at least three. For the experience? Even if we don't play them. For the experience, let them travel, let me, it's part of the travel party, and go and play with them, whatever, train with them, and then travel with them. And so you realize that at a point in time, we are scared. The average Nigerian is scared when a home-based player is growing up against Argentina and is looking at all mighty lunatics. And he wants him to play well. How? All right. He wants. I would have to wrap up here. Wally Scott, it's a very, very... It's a big conversation. Too big. You know, and it has to continue. If we need to see better sports and we need to put Nigeria back away, it was in 1996. We must insist that our home-based players are involved in this, our World Cup Nations Cup sports, musts. We'll see how it goes. Thank you very much for coming around this morning. Good to see you on Friday, as always. Thank you for coming. And this is where we will be saying our official goodbyes this morning. Thanks for staying with us all through the week. Of course, Merry Christmas in advance is just tomorrow morning. If you missed out on any part of our comeback for Watkins tomorrow, for midnight. If you missed out on any parts of the conversations this week, remember where to catch up. It's simply at Plus TV Africa on all social media platforms. I am Osaogi Ogbon. And I am Messi. We'll do have a Merry Christmas.
