Osaze Came, He Played, He Scored, and Nigeria Defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina

Few days ago, I made a case for Odemwingie's inclusion in the coming match between Nigeria and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Surprisingly, and in fact, unlike before, Odemwingie was featured for the full ninety minutes as I argued. And at the end, he delivered - he scored the winning goal. It is official; Mr. Osaze Peterr Odemwingie, representing the Nigerian national team (The Green Eagle), scored the winning and only goal against Bosnia-Herzegovina's national team. 

On my part, it was not a prediction per se - far from it -  but knowing what works and the ability to visualize the make up of the team and identify the player or players that will make the most immediate  impact when push comes to shove. I am glad that Mr. Stephen Keshi, the National Chief Coach, did the right thing. 

Most people dwell on the problem, while only very few focus on the solution - the way out of the problem. And I am glad of being part of the latter category. As we have proven over and over again on this Blog, it's all about the solution and moving forward - knowing what works, and the ability to articulate it succinctly, without fear or favor. Know it, publish it and be damned.  See  Of Osaze Odemwingie and the Nigeria vs Iran Lackluster Opening Match.
