As a businessman, I have always appreciated Nigeria in its entirety and viewed our diversity as an asset. Sadly, this unified view of Nigeria in all its richness is not taught widely enough or observed in other sectors of society. I am therefore very pleased to see that in this deeply researched book on the history of football in colonial Nigeria, Dr Boer has worked painstakingly to tell a positive and unifying story of Nigeria - one that focuses on what we have in common, and what makes us collectively great as a nation. (Aliko Dangote, President/CEO Dangote Group). 

Dr Boer has gone to the lengths and breadths of Nigeria to reveal the story of how football became so important to us as a nation. As he shows in his book, though introduced by foreigners, football became quickly indigenised and was an important element for anti-colonial protest, the development of a Nigerian national identity and nation building. (Amaju Melvin Pinnick, President of Nigerian Football Federation).
