By Patrick Odogwu Ngwaogu
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers approach, the Nigerian Super Eagles Head coach, Eric Chille has released a provisional list of 39 players. The list comprised of young and experienced players both home and abroad.
This is gearing up for the remaining matches that will determine their fate in the 2026 World cup holding in USA, Canada and Mexico. With the Super Eagles prospects hanging in the balance, with three points in three matches, it is imperative that Nigerians rally behind the team, providing them with the necessary support and motivation to excel on the pitch.
The Super Eagles are more than just a football team; they are a symbol of national pride and identity. Representing Nigeria on the global stage, they embody the country’s values, culture, and resilience. When the Super Eagles succeed, the entire nation celebrates, and their victories are a source of inspiration and joy for millions of Nigerians.
Conversely, when the team fails, the nation mourns, and their defeats are a source of disappointment and frustration. Therefore, it is essential that Nigerians rally behind the Super Eagles, providing them with the necessary support and motivation to succeed.
Football has a unique ability to unite people across cultures, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. When Nigerians come together to support the Super Eagles, they demonstrate their unity and solidarity. This collective support can transcend regional and ethnic divisions, fostering a sense of national identity and purpose.
In a country with over 250 ethnic groups and a complex history of regional tensions, the Super Eagles provide a rare opportunity for Nigerians to come together and celebrate their shared identity. By rallying behind the team, Nigerians can demonstrate their commitment to national unity and solidarity.
When the Super Eagles receive the support and adoration of their fans, they are motivated to perform at their best. The knowledge that millions of Nigerians are cheering them on, provides them with the inspiration and confidence to take on the best teams in the world.
In the past, the Super Eagles have demonstrated their ability to rise to the occasion when faced with challenging opponents. With the support of their fans, they can draw on their inner strength and resilience to overcome any obstacle.
The success of the Super Eagles can also have significant economic benefits for Nigeria. When the team qualifies for major tournaments like the World Cup, it can generate substantial revenue from sponsorships, merchandise sales, and tourism.
In 2018, the Nigerian government estimated that the Super Eagles’ participation in the World Cup generated over N10 billion in revenue. This revenue can be invested in various sectors, including sports development, infrastructure, and education.
As the Super Eagles prepare for the remaining 2026 World Cup qualifiers, it is essential that Nigerians rally behind them. By providing the team with the necessary support and motivation, Nigerians can help them succeed on the pitch.
The benefits of supporting the Super Eagles extend beyond the football field. It can foster national unity and solidarity, provide motivation and inspiration, and generate significant economic benefits.
Therefore, let us come together to support our beloved Super Eagles. Let us cheer them on, provide them with our unwavering support, and inspire them to greatness. Together, we can achieve greatness and make Nigeria proud.
The 2026 World Cup qualifiers are just around the corner, and the Super Eagles need our support more than ever. Let us put aside our differences and come together to support our national team.
We can show our support in various ways, including:
- Attending the team’s matches and cheering them on
- Wearing the team’s jerseys and merchandise
- Sharing messages of support on social media
- Participating in various mobilisation campaign for the team
By taking these actions, we can demonstrate our commitment to the Super Eagles and provide them with the motivation and inspiration they need to succeed.
To all Nigerians, football fans, and supporters of the Super Eagles, we urge you to come together and support our national team. Let us show the world that we are a united and proud nation, and that we will stop at nothing to support our beloved Super Eagles.
Together, we can achieve greatness and make Nigeria proud. The time to act is now. Let us rally behind the Super Eagles and support them every step of the way.

Nigeria’s Historic Bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games: A Call for National and Global Support
Joel Ajayi
Nigeria is poised to make history as it seeks to host the Centenary Commonwealth Games in 2030, a monumental opportunity that promises to transform the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and global standing.
More than a sporting spectacle, the Games would serve as a catalyst for development across multiple sectors, leaving behind a legacy of national pride and sustainable growth.
The benefits of hosting the Games extend far beyond the sports arena. Nigeria stands to gain both empirical and non-empirical advantages, with direct, indirect, and induced impacts that will touch every corner of society. Infrastructural development will take center stage, with new facilities such as indoor sports halls, conference centers, and improved road networks reshaping urban landscapes while strengthening the nation’s capacity to host future international events.
Economic growth is another significant dividend. Over 10,000 jobs are expected to be created, spanning construction, facility management, event planning, and tourism services.
The hospitality industry will undergo major improvements as hotels and resorts are upgraded to meet international standards, while local restaurants, lounges, and tourist attractions will see a surge in patronage from international visitors. Small and medium enterprises, particularly in the transport, finance, and food service sectors, will become some of the greatest beneficiaries, as the Games generate new demand and expand opportunities for local businesses.
The Commonwealth Games will also accelerate the growth of Nigeria’s sports industry.
Investments in training facilities, coaching, and talent development will inspire a new generation of athletes, ensuring long-term benefits that extend beyond 2030, a major focus of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
At the same time, the process of preparing for the Games will create opportunities for Nigerians to learn new crafts, acquire technical skills, and engage in global-standard event management, thereby strengthening human capacity and innovation across industries.
Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the Nigeria Sports Commission, and Hon. Bukola Olopade, the Director General, have been widely recognized for their tireless and visionary leadership in repositioning Nigeria’s sporting sector.
Their commitment to facilitating infrastructural development and strengthening grassroots sports development has laid the foundation for Nigeria’s bold bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Under their leadership, the NSC is fostering strategic partnerships and driving innovation in sports administration, they have demonstrated the nation’s readiness to stage an event of such global magnitude.
Beyond the tangible gains, the hosting of the 2030 Commonwealth Games carries profound symbolic value. It would be a moment of unity and pride, a chance for Nigeria to showcase its cultural richness, resilience, and excellence to the world.
As a centenary edition, the Games would stand as a historic milestone not just for the Commonwealth but for Nigeria itself, cementing its place on the global stage as a capable, ambitious, and forward-looking nation.
The gains from hosting the Commonwealth Games can never be undermined or overemphasized. This is Nigeria’s time to step forward and show the world our resilience, and excellence. We call on every Nigerian, across sectors and communities, to support this noble aspiration.
Nigeria’s pursuit of the 2030 Commonwealth Games is a vision for transformation, a blueprint for national development, and a legacy project that will inspire generations to come.
