Some Nigerian business men and women in London are lamenting the non-qualification of Nigeria’s Dream Team V and Super Falcons for the 2012 London Olympics as they have invested over £500,000 on merchandise,souvenirs and memorabilia.

In a chat with NationSport, some of those who spoke on condition of anonimity said the same situation happened when Nigeria international friendly against Ghana at the Watford’s Vicarage Road was cancelled August 9 following riots in London.
“Before the friendly, we went out of our way to produce lots of merchandise for teamming Nigerian football fans, but we were shocked with the cancellation. All that we did just went down the drain.----
