Ahead of the Super Eagle qualifier matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, the head coach, Eric Charlie, has sent out a preliminary invitation to 39 players from which a final list of 25 players will be picked for the games. We can exclusively report that four players from the NPFL made the list. They are
▫️ Kayode Bankole (Remo Stars FC)
▫️ Ahmed Musa (Kano Pillars FC)
▫️ Ifeanyi Onyebuchi (Rangers Int’l FC)
▫️ Papa Daniel (Niger Tornadoes FC)

My suggestion
Inviting home base has been a normal thing for coaches who understand the system, but giving them chances to play is the pathway to regaining past glory.
Throwback to when the Nigeria Super Eagles had a standard squad started at Algiers 90, where the Super Eagles had only two professional players, Andrew Uwe and Ademola Adeshine from the Second Division league. Others are home base participants in the 1990 AFCON. Below is a list of players.

Goalkeepers: Alloy Agu, Pressley Berthold.

Defenders: Abdul Aminu, Uche Okechukwu, Andrew Uwe, Tajudeen Oyekanmi, Wahab Adeshina, Isaac Semitoje, Herbert Anijekwu, Ben Iroha and Toyin Ayinla.

Midfielders: Ayo Ogunlana, Thompson Oliha, Wasiu Ipaye, Moses Kpakor, Emmanuel Okocha, Friday Elaho.

Forwards: Rashidi Yekini, Daniel Amokachi, Baldwin Bazuaye.
Lost 1-0 to the hosts in the final and this approach generated the team that qualified for the first World Cup for nation in 1994, and kept qualified until recently time when we struggled to also win the AFCON the same year, 1994.
I suggest NFF and coaches should go back to drawing boards.
According to Baba Festus Onigbinde, an invitation of the home-based into the national team is just a way of inviting the whole nation to watch game and seriously praying for your success as a coach.
