After the Super Eagles pulled a draw in the
2014 World Cup qualifiers against Namibia in
Windhoek on Wednesday, we can reveal with
authority that there is a battle in the Nigeria
camp between the officials of the Federation
and the team which may lead to the boycott
of the Confederations Cup.
Players of the national team outrightly are on
strike. They have refused the match bonus
offered them by the NFF. “We have told them to go and play the Confederations
Cup themselves,” said our source in the camp.
“As at this morning, we are not ready to leave Windhoek if these issues are not
sorted out. It is either the raging camp issues are resolved in our favour or we all
leave for our various clubs and forget the Confederations Cup.”
Part of the grievances of the players is that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
cannot and should not slash their bonuses without consulting with them being the
actors who suffer all the throes, hits and pains on the pitch of play.
In addition, they brought the issue of the rationalisation of the backroom staff of
the national team into their demands. A prominent case was the forced exit of
assistant coach Silvanus “Quick Silver” Okpala whose services are obviously being
missed in the team.
Another matter raised by the players is that of the other assistant coach, Valerie
Houndenou, who coach Stephen Keshi had to employ and pay from his own
pocket. This, the players feel, is wrong and must be addressed in a holistic nature
otherwise they will proceed to their various clubs and forget about the
Confederations Cup.
As it is, a prolong agitation of the players will definitely affect the concentration
required to have a good outing in the Confederations Cup.
If this situation matures, Nigeria would have brought shame to Africa, if they fail
to participate in the Confederations Cup or if they do not do so well in the
tournament.
