NATIONAL silence has enveloped the discovery that three players in the national U-17 team representing the country at the CAF U-17 competition in Morocco were disqualified. They failed the age detecting test CAF conducted at the competition venue.
There is no shortage of excuses for the disgrace that the Nigeria Football Association, NFA, has again brought to the country on this matter.
It is no longer a secret that the NFA does not pay adequate attention to forestall the decision of age cheats, who some officials aid to get into teams, in anticipation of the rewards that await them after a good performance at the competition.
