Just when we hoped it couldn't get any worse, it does!
The recent bombings in Northern Nigeria is now greatly affecting the country as the high-profile friendly match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Brazil has been cancelled.
The Eagles were due to play the former world champions in Nigeria during a FIFA window in September but the recent bombings in some northern states forced the Brazilians to reconsider their proposed visit to Nigeria and sought another African side for the friendly.
The Selacao thus settled for the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, but the match will be played either in Brazil or the USA on September 7.
The Nigeria Football Federation however said the Nigeria versus Brazil friendly would still hold as planned but it may not hold in Nigeria soil due to the incessant acts of the most dreadful Islamic group in the country.
