Does jonathan know what he is really doing? Whoever gave him this advice should be sacked immediately. This is the biggest joke of the millenium. PDP should also be disbanded for misrulling nigeria for the past 8 yrs. FIFA's axe dangles on nigeria.

I do not believe this story.

Nontheless, FIFA's kicks against Government's interference.

On the off chance that this is true then Nigeria may sactioned.
FIFA has already warned the Frech Govt and the French Football Federation that it won't hesitate to suspend the 1998 champions if it discovers government interference with the team.

Although, Govt interference is prolly what Nigerian Football needs at this stage cos nothing seems to be going right.

well done Mr President. One of the best news coming out of Naija. The worst case scenario is FIFA suspending us for two years and this we have done ourselves. Chikena!

This is good and bad
It is 50/50
It will help organize our football
we have already missed AFCON 2012 as if we succedd with wonderful players where would they be tested internationally
And if FIFA suspends us the players MAY say no competition for us , we are leaving we cant wait for years again lets go looking for a job


Like i said 50/50
