Maybe you don't understand what spending from Federation account means. It follows due process. It goes through a series of checks before allocation and spending.

Even the release does not come in bulk and takes a series of signatures.

There is a file that will have history of application for money, the budget and the release.

What is the use of self funding if it translates to nothing.

TheGoodJoe:
Make your point.
I did not ask you questions to make mine.

If Dennis no Dey list eh!

No Dey list?? That one no war… if he doesn’t start, is the discussion

Subzero047:

The guy prefer Maigari, Maigari!!!

Oasis001:
Maigari was relying on Federal Ministry of Sports for funding. Main Reason he's more like a Stooge, a Puppet to Government Officials. Quota System worked perfectly under Maigari for Selection of Squads for all our National Teams.

Most Northerners were drafted to our Age Grade Teams, where are they now?! Apologies to Northerners here, I am not condemning the Region, rather prefer fair Selection to Quota System.

Below is our U17 Squad for 2013 Tournament, how many of them from North is having a stellar Career?


Sunday Alampasu, Bello Zaraddeen, Japhet Raymond, Musa Yahaya, Chidera Ezeh, Isaac Success, Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Alfa Abdullahi, Chigozie Obasi, Abubakar Abdulazeez, Baba Salihu, Godwin Saviour, Habeeb Makanjuola, Okon Denis, Uzoha Odinaka, Mohammed Musa, Chidiebere Nwakali, Abubakar Aliu, Idowu Akinjide, Godwin Samuel

You are a very funny man

When you read uncle Joe emphasizing on football development under Maigari Administration, one would think we recorded great success and our young Lads progressed well later in their respective Careers.

Below is List of our U20 Team to Colombia 2011, how many of them are having average Careers now?

On a serious note, I have never followed Harrison Jalla's write ups but there are many things he revealed that I find shocking. Like NFF receiving a grant of $2.5m from FIFA in 2015 for football development.

It will be interesting to know why that U17 team got stranded that way.

When I have time I will post some I find interesting.

AndSunGorilla:


Awoniyi. Kwara and Kogi are northern states

TheGoodJoe:


Just said you cried when I pointed it out. I know it pains.

Subzero047:


You can go to the end of the world to get your findings it doesn't remove from the fact that Pinnick is the best NFF president we ever had

Subzero047:


The guy just pulls up people's opinion like it will somehow invalidate my opinion

NFF PRESIDENT MAIGARI IMPEACHED

"After thorough and exhaustive deliberations on the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari."

BY SAHARA REPORTERSJUL 24, 2014

Only days after resuming his office following FIFA intervention in Nigeria soccer activities, Aminu Maigari, the embattled President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been impeached by the Board for “financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.” Maigari had returned to his post after a court order restraining him from acting as NFF President was vacated to enable Nigeria escape a permanent FIFA ban.

He was impeached today by a margin of eight votes to five among the 13-man Executive Committee as members reconvened to review Nigeria’s participation at the just-concluded World Cup in Brazil.

The Committee elevated the 1st Vice President, Chief Mike Okeke Umeh, to Acting President pending the composition of the new NFF Executive Committee in an election on August 26. Sensing trouble, in the course of the night, Maigari had made immense efforts to shift the Executive meeting, citing a ministerial directive. That claim was immediately dismissed by the Special Adviser to the Minister, Justice Joffa, and the ensuing meeting brought Maigari’s tumultuous reign at the helm of Nigerian football to an end.

A communique issued after the meeting said, “After thorough and exhaustive deliberations on the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation, and failure to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the past eight ( months, during which so many weighty decisions on Nigeria football had been taken by a small cabal within the Board, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.”

The committee commended FIFA and the Confederation of African Football for their keen interest in the development of Nigeria football and pledged that the country will continue to abide by the dictates of FIFA and CAF Statutes and the FIFA–approved NFF Statutes.

According to the communique, the meeting was attended by Maigari; Chief Mike Umeh (Vice President); Chief Emeka Inyama (Member); Mrs Dilichukwu Onyedinma (Member); Alh. Ahmad Muazu Kawu (Member); Chief Effiong Johnson (Member); Barr. Christopher Green (Member); Hon. Shehu Adamu (Member); Alh. Muazu Suleyman (Member); Mr. Ayodeji Tinubu (Member); Alh. Yusuf Ahmed ‘Fresh’ (Member); Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu (Member); Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande (Member); and Musa Amadu (Secretary).
