Fact; The Federal republic of Nigeria has the biggest population on the African continent. Thankfully, until a referee in a football (soccer) match issues a red card of dubious validity like it was issued to Andre Dede Ayew in Ghana’s match with the Comoros Island, all teams can only field 11 players. So, in essence, the population size does not mean much except to say that, a nation with a bigger population size has a bigger pull of talent to select from. But that advantage can also be a curse!
