Hi @ATHLST crew, it's such an awesome job you guys are doing! Kudos to Emmanuel Babayaro and Matthew Edafe (I know one James Edafe - sports journalist with Rock City FM). From this podcast I understand the show is Emmanuel Babayaro's and I had to read up on him because I never knew on the 1996 Dream Team. After seeing this podcast, I had to surf the internet to check up his profile and stumbled on an exclusive interview he granted The Punch Newspaper, where he revealed he never played in Europe. If you ask me, I think it's necessary to have you interviewed on the podcast and tell us how you succeeded (financially, at least) even without playing football in Europe. I can see you are not inferior to any of these guys that have been interviewed on the show. WOULD YOU PLEASE BE KIND TO OBLIGE THIS REQUEST. I also appreciate your contributions and stimulation from the background while allowing Matthew Edafe the freedom to anchor the podcast. Great job, guys. Great job!
This is when we had national team. Goosebumps 😢
When GOD ALMIGHTY Wants To Bless You, He Does It In A MARVELOUS Way....
Such a nice podcast i enjoyed every bit of it. However it sad that the country has not being able to replicate this squad of super Eagles.
We really need someone like oliseh in our current super eagles squad with a good leadership qualities and will always be willing to sacrifice and cover for others
This is explosive. This should be seen by every Nigerian. The exposure and truth gotten from this are eye-opening. It gave me goosebumps
