Not Yet Uhuru

The term 'Uhuru', popularized by Oginga Odinga, means 'freedom' and emphasizes that the struggle for independence is incomplete. Chief Olusegun Patrick Odegbami, former captain of the Green Eagles, advocates for a more inclusive football administration in Nigeria. The situation worsened with the Super Eagles missing the World Cups in 2022 and 2026, and the Super Falcons failing to qualify for the 2027 World Cup, leading to increased calls for the resignation of the NFF board led by Ibrahim Gusau.
