Former international, Adegoke Adelabu, believes Nigeria’s inability to qualify for the ongoing World Cup in Qatar is a blessing in disguise, saying that the country’s football administrators have learnt nothing from past failings.

Ghana defeated Nigeria in the last qualifying round for World Cup via the away goal rule. The teams drew goalless in Ghana and drew 1-1 in the decisive leg in Abuja.

“This is because even in the past editions we attended, we did not translate the lessons learnt into the growth of our football. Then, you begin to wonder why we go to the World Cup in the first place. Adelabu acknowledged that Nigeria would have gained from FIFA’s financial package and players’ endorsements if it had qualified for the World Cup, adding, however, that such benefits wouldn’t have made any difference to the way the country managed its football.
