I don't understand you Nairalanders supporting FG to interfere/control NFF. Were we not the ones complaining that ministers, governors, senators and the president send list of players to the coach? Were we not the same people complaining that govt officials influence choice coaches and technical advisers? Closing and freezing NFF account is wrong and indicates govts foolery and bragadrey in response to FIFA's corrective measures. So if a president's election was funded by a millionaire the millionaire should control/interfere in govt? Is the entire money in NFF account govt money? Another overreaction of Jonathan which he should reverse. 3 Likes |

Sagamite:Messi would not have excelled the way he did in this era because football then was hard. If you watch Maradona getting kicked on the pitch at Barcelona as if he stole from their kitchen, you would marvel. That alone made it harder. Maradona and Pele were able to carve a name in history besides the harshness of the game. 1 Like |

Sagamite: [b] One can't but chuckle when faced with such ridiculous declarations. You gotta marvel at how certain folks of the older generation have such strange convictions that the yesteryears is better than today despite strong evidences to the contrary. Here is the reply I gave to one recently on a debate: Now to the issue of "Football was better in the past". Definitely not true! Today's athletes aren't playing the same game as yesterday's. Strategies, styles and even rules change dramatically from decade to decade, and modern athletes would crush historical greats. It's easy yo think that the dominant players of the past would be just as effective as their modern counterparts with the currrent training, conditioning, etc - but I'm not buying it. Historical greats frequently dominated a smaller pool of players and excelled in an immature game. And there's no guarantee that their previous success means they would respond well to modern training techniques or would fit into the modern game. Taking on defenders was both more common and more likely to be successful in Pele's or Maradona's eras. In UEFA Champions' league matches (the most competitive tournament in history, better than the WorldCUP) since 2010, teams had an average of about 18 'take on' attempts per game - succeeding 44.8 percent of the time (according to fivethirtyeight.com). That's less than the 21 or so per game by WorldCup teams of the Pele and Maradona's years; those players succeeding 49.4 percent of the time. Messi, even at that, appears to be the greater outlier (especially if you consider La Liga, where he succeeds in one-on-one attempts 55.3 percent of the time, where the typical success rate is only 35.6 percent). It is obviously clear from all this that defenses are obviously tougher these days, which perhaps will affect how we interpret the comparism between these two eras. [/b] 1 Like |

He was shocked that the players problem with lack of funding and neglect went as far as the Nations Cup and confederations cup. Funds which have been released by the government for those players. Also during friendly games, lack of adequate hotels, poor transportation and many other problems were complained by the players. The Sports Minister promised the players that he would provide their bonuses and match allowances for the World Cup. The Federal Government intervened and provided the World Cup money. Now FIFA heads say government has no right to look into funds that can not be accounted for. So the best choice is to be obedient and allow the NFF run themselves as FIFA wants it. 6 Likes |

joseph1013:Football in the past was not better but harder. Things like tackling with your studs would not result in red cards then. It would have been difficult for a fragile player like Messi to make his dazzling dribbles then. Watch a clip on the 1974 finals between Netherland and Germany or the 1978 finals between Netherland and Argentina. The game then was too physical for a player like Messi to skip past players with ease. 1 Like |

OmoEziokwu: My inchoate thoughts: The UK has a lower power distance because the society is more skewed towards socialism than USA which is pure capitalist. The reetards are even refusing a free healthcare system. UK has adopted a bit of socialism because of is higher ethnic homogeneity, the smaller population size and geography, its closeness to other socialist European nation and the rebelling against the old aristocratic system. US have challenges different to this. The little bit of socialism and less capitalism has led to more favourable labour laws, which means I can basically tell my boss to fck off and I might still not get sacked .....joking. And they also have a generous welfare system. In the US, they have looser labour laws and people can get fired more easily, which would mean you will naturally kiss arsse more. Worse still, when they have less generous welfare system if you lose your means of income. Secondly, capitalism also increases the divide between rich and poor, which would also add to the arsse kissing, hence more power distance. Because of lack of aristocratic past and low homogeneity, then social mobility is likely to be more merit based. Unlike the UK where everyone on top is from a narrow clique of wealthy family and who all went to Oxbridge. Only about 1 former UK PM in the last 70 years or so did not go to Oxbridge. 90% of High court judges used to be from Oxbridge, now it has been forced down to 80% in the last 20 years. Just these 2 universities. In the US, leaders can come from a wider spread of different backgrounds, regions and universities. Also the affirmative action practiced at university level there carries on into later career mentality. In the UK, if you did not go to Oxbridge, it is almost impossible to get some jobs.

milehigh06:Blatter and co.have no problem with Nigeria funding the government. They have a problem with The Nigerian government looking into the activity of the NFF. Auditing the NFF books by the Nigerian government is seen as interference of a private enterprise. So the only way our government can cure itself from the heartache of putting money in and getting no result is by not funding it and allowing the body to run itself as a true independent body. 3 Likes |

He was shocked that the players problem with lack of funding and neglect went as far as the Nations Cup and confederations cup. The NFF should have a supervising board and a complaints commission where players can make complaints. There ought to be accounts auditing bodies set up by the NFF to regulate its activities. The EFCC and the police are also there. So no need for FG to interfere directly. There is more to the issues than just FG supporting players financially and looking into NFF accounts. |

Exactly...Fifa does not care where the funding comes from but you can also understand the stance of te Nigerian Govt..If this was 5/10 yrs ago,it would have been dangerous for the Govt to pull out its funding but we are in an era now when corporate bodies actually do understand the power of corporate branding hence the sponsorship deals our stars of yesterday are now getting compared to 10 yrs ago...Imagine what a Glo deal would have done to help the life of Yekini..We just have to hope we have an organization that knows how to get real sponsors and put the Nation 1st for if they stick to business as usual,they will be broke with no sponsors pretty fast...Private money and govt money are 2 different things 1 Like |

Solozzo:As long as the guys running the system are corrupt, then they will never put a mechanism to expose their corruption. So expecting the NFF to set up a board to expose their corruption in handling the Welfare of players or Embezzlement of funds would not happen. EFCC can not investigate without Government interfering to give them a chance with the account books of the NFF. So pulling out of funding them is the best solution. As Blatter and co. put it, let them sort themselves out. 2 Likes |

Let these politicians leave the administration of sports to the professionals, we have said this long enough. The unfortunate thing in this case is that the so-called board are all government nominees, most of them wouldn't even go near the NFF without the support of the politicians and now, they don't want to dance to the tune of their sponsors. What an irony ! If our football will grow, if things must improve then the real professionals MUST come in and manage the business because football is a BIG business all over the world, NFF need to look beyond the meagre monthly allocation of the FG and start to do things professionally. On the other hand, FIFA is led by CORRUPT ELEMENTS and this is not news anywhere. Blatter will fire Naija because we didn't support him when he was elected and we are not in support of his succession bid. Talk about corruption in high places, FIFA is one No be today, Naija will surely come out better when the chips are down 1 Like |
