Former Super Eagles captain Augustine Okocha expresses his sadness at the Golden Eaglets' failure to qualify for the semi-finals of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations. The Nigerians are out of the semi-finals after suffering a 1-2 loss to Burkina Faso on Thursday. Okocha says the neglect of a credible youth football development programme over the years has eclipsed the country from the nations to reckon with. He added that for a nation to develop in football, a lot of investment is needed in youth development.
