Lessons in Leadership: The Case of Findi George and the Super Eagles
Breaking news: Findi George has just concluded his tenure as the head coach of the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles. His departure comes amid disappointment and questions about leadership. This turn of events begs the question: Why do people fail to learn from the mistakes of others, especially when it comes to challenging successful team leaders?
Upon his appointment as coach, Findi George immediately found himself embroiled in controversy, particularly with his treatment of Ekong, the captain of the African Nations team for the Super Eagles. Despite Ekong's recent success in the Nations Cup, Findi questioned his fitness, a move that many saw as baseless and even deceitful. This echoes a similar incident involving Findi's brother, Sunday Olise, who clashed with Vincent Enyeama, another respected figure in Nigerian football. Both instances ended unfavorably for the coaches involved.
The recurring theme here is the reluctance to embrace and support those who are meant to contribute positively to the team's success. As mentioned by the observer, there seems to be an aura of invincibility surrounding footballers hailing from Akwa Ibom, evidenced by the failures of both Olishe and Findi when they attempted to challenge prominent figures from that region.
One might even humorously ponder whether there is some prophetic quality inherent in Akwa Ibom footballers, given their seemingly untouchable status. However, beneath the jest lies a serious lesson in leadership and teamwork: success in sports, as in any field, hinges on collaboration, trust, and respect for those who have proven themselves capable.
The cases of Findi George, Sunday Olise, and their clashes with established players like Ekong and Enyeama serve as cautionary tales for future coaches and leaders. Instead of resorting to internal conflicts and power struggles, the focus should be on fostering unity and leveraging the strengths of every individual within the team.
In conclusion, the departure of Findi George from his role as coach of the Super Eagles serves as a reminder that leadership is not about asserting authority for its own sake but about inspiring and guiding a collective effort towards success. Perhaps it's time for Nigerian football to reflect on these lessons and strive for a future built on collaboration and mutual respect.

Breaking:
Findi George just played his last match as the super Eagles coach. What a shame.
But, why do people not learnt from other people's mistakes?
Why fighting a winning and successful team leader?
Immediately Findi was appointed as coach, his first fight was against Ekong the African Nations captain for Super Eagles, recalled that he did successfully in the just concluded Nation's cup.
Findi came up with a flemsy excuse that Ekong wasn't fit, this was a pure lie. Just like his brother here Sunday Olise that fought Enyeama Vincent. The end wasn't good for him too.
Why fighting who suppose to help you?
Me: I just notice that Akwa Ibom Super Eagles stars are untouchable.
Olishe touched Vincent Enyeama and failed
Findi touched Ekong and failed. Are Akwa Ibom footballers also Prophets?
