As difficult as the match was, there were almost no threats to the Nigerian goal throughout the encounter. Even the goal the South Africans scored was a gift by the elements. On hindsight, it was so that Nigeria\u2019s victory would be much sweeter.\u00a0 A match without high tension is like tea without sugar.\u00a0 A lot of the credit for the team that was assembled, how the team played, and how they won, must naturally go to the man whose responsibility it was to put it all together \u2013 Gernot Rohr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpff6a54ddMsoNormal\">A British journalist friend, Satish Sekar, called me up from Cairo after Nigeria won their match against South Africa last Wednesday night wondering if I had changed my mind about Gernot Rohr and forgiven him his \u2018sins\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0Satish must have read media reports during the week where I said that were I to be in charge of the\u00a0<b><i>Super Eagles<\/i><\/b>, I would have sidelined Gernot after the loss against Madagascar.\u00a0 Hence his valid question now.\u00a0 \u00a0My simple answer is that my statement was hypothetical.\u00a0 I am not in charge of Nigerian football.\u00a0 Gernot is still in charge of his team, a responsibility handed to him by his employers who also read my reaction and, I believe, must have let the German know that he made a big mistake and goofed by toying with the emotions of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpff6a54ddMsoNormal\">Nigerians love to win every single match even if it is against the World XI, and it is not that they do not know they are not the best team in the world and must lose matches.\u00a0 \u00a0The issue is that, beyond football, the country represents more than meets the ordinary eye with which Gernot must have been viewing Nigeria and Nigerians. Otherwise, why would he take the entire country for granted by taking an avoidable and unnecessary decision of assembling a \u2018weak\u2019 team to represent the largest congregation of Black persons in the world, a country with pride, a country with rich historic antecedents in football, with resources and human capacity to become a global football power, to play a match, any match for that matter, where the whole world will be watching and the joy and livelihood of over 50 million Nigerians will be at risk?<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpff6a54ddMsoNormal\">For general information purposes, for those that do not know, unofficial estimates put the number of people driving an undocumented football economy in the country at over 50 million. Most of them are youths.\u00a0 Do the math. There are over 5 million small television viewing centres in all the nooks and crannies of the country, with a minimum of about 10 people in each centre fueling business and sustaining a silent but very crucial economy.\u00a0 \u00a0So, with over 50 million youths watching their national team every time the\u00a0<b><i>Super Eagles <\/i><\/b>play, a youth population of very loud people, barely surviving with great difficulty in a harsh political, economic and social environment, to lose an important match carelessly against a small, country from \u2018nowhere\u2019 and without any antecedents in football, is totally unacceptable.\u00a0 \u00a0That \u2018small\u2019 defeat that Gernot glossed over with a remorseless smile when he granted an interview after the match, has dented Nigeria\u2019s records in the history books of African football, could have cost Nigeria further progress in the current African championship and created untold and immeasurable temporary pain and agony in every home in the country.\u00a0\u00a0It was a careless decision and must be condemned so that such is never repeated.\u00a0 \u00a0The football economy impacts the media, the leisure industry, the betting industry, the entertainment industry, and so on. This humongous field is one that feeds on the success of the\u00a0<b><i>Super Eagles<\/i><\/b>. To lose an important match means hunger and \u2018death\u2019 for some businesses. I know because I am involved.\u00a0\u00a0That was my point. That was why I would have rested Gernot till the end of the championship if I were in charge. To teach him a lesson on how not to coach Nigeria\u2019s national team, and how not to take Nigerians and their national sport for granted.\u00a0\u00a0He got my message, that\u2019s the important thing.\u00a0\u00a0Something tells me that the meeting he held with Amaju Pinnick before the last match was to register that point and others to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpff6a54ddMsoNormal\">Since then everyone can see what has happened.\u00a0 Going forward now, no matter what happens till the end of the AFCON 2019 championship, from what I saw last Wednesday night, Gernot Rohr has become a changed man. He is now reborn.\u00a0\u00a0He selected the best set of players that coincided with what the majority of Nigerians watching all the matches and making their own assessments would largely agree with.\u00a0 He got the team to play with confidence and calmness and everyone could see a pattern, discipline and organization in how the team played.\u00a0\u00a0No, it was not perfect, but football is never perfect, but this time it worked.\u00a0\u00a0Playing like that, even if Nigeria had lost, we would still have been pained but would have gone back home knowing that it was not because we disrespected our opponents and did not field the best of us.\u00a0 \u00a0Gernot was on his feet raising his voice, gesticulating from time to time, feebly giving out instructions, trying to act as if marshalling the team and guiding them, throughout that match.\u00a0 He showed some concern for whatever was going to happen, even if he was obviously not in the class of a Mourinho, or a Klopp, in the act of being the 12<sup>th<\/sup>player.\u00a0 \u00a0He did not play \u2018sentiments\u2019.\u00a0 When he felt that the captain of the team needed to give way, he did not even hesitate in substituting Ahmed Musa.\u00a0 That\u2019s how a serious coach should behave to demonstrate loyalty and commitment to a foreign country that hires him.\u00a0\u00a0Gernot has changed.\u00a0 So, he deserves to be given the opportunity to serve out his term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_ydpff6a54ddMsoNormal\">Going forward, however, looking towards a bigger goal, going to the 2022 World Cup and going far in accordance to Nigeria\u2019s potentials seen long ago by global experts, but still hovering in the periphery of greatness only, the country needs a new coach, one that will imbibe and use the inherent strengths in the Nigerian DNA to drive the country\u2019s football and footballers to become the best in the world and show the rest of the domestic polity, that Nigeria can be the greatest\u00a0\u00a0Black country in the world with the right kind of leadership\u2026and followership.\u00a0 \u00a0Football can be the light of a new nation.\u00a0\u00a0So, in response to Satish\u2019s question, for Gernot Rohr, all is forgiven!\u00a0 \u00a0Good luck to him for the rest of AFCON 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Wednesday night, the\u00a0Super Eagles put up their best performance so far in AFCON 2019.
