Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has described Nigerian women as very fantastic and beautiful.
Speaking at the Peak Breakfast with Rohr, organized by HS Media Group at the weekend, the former Niger national team coach bared his mind on his impression with Nigerians, especially the women.
According to him, although he has no plan to marry a Nigerian like his predecessor, Clemens Westerhof, Rohr nonetheless paid glowing tribute to the innate beauty of the Nigerian women.
“Nigerian women are fantastic and very beautiful,” he said in response to a question whether he would like to marry a Nigerian woman.
He however joined in the campaign for the release of the abducted girls in Borno State by Boko Haram, especially Leah Sharibu, who is spending nine months in captivity.
“I regret the abduction of girls in the north of Nigeria. Please release the girls, give them the opportunity to go to school,” he pleaded.
