@oku_yungx advised NFF to go local
Speaking further, @oku_yungx advised the NFF to look towards the local league when scouting for players to represent the nation as the 'old heads need to rest.'
"...We have hungry heads ready to play their lives for the country wasting in our LOCAL LEAGUE. Send scouts to do their job.
"Jettison the old heads. They need to rest. You know them," he wrote.
He added that the Super Eagles need attacking midfielders, wingers and dare-devil strikers like Osimhen. He also appealed to NFF to get a local church and not interfere in his selection.
