The last time , you called those that support the president's move fools but are you so dimwitted not to understand that all you highlighted above will be tantamount to "interference"(according to fifa) and would attract the same ban?
In case you dont have an inkling, the Minister met with FIFA officials after our ouster and intimated them of the massive waste and fraud in the NFF and how they need to probe the activities. What did the monster FIFA say? They chose to cover the criminals at NFF and warned the goverment of interference. What was the Government to do after that? Jonathan didnt just wake up and take the decision. Government had reached out to FIFA about our peculiar case.

You all should go siddon for corner jare .

Arresting and prosecuting NFF officials who break the law is not interference; get your facts straight. Jonathan just woke up and took the decision. So anytime anyone in the NFF embezzles money, the next thing to do is to suspend the national team from competitions? At least the prudent thing to do is to start the rebuilding process b first of all going after those thieves in the glass house, not just abruptly suspending the national team from competitions. Does he own the Super Eagles?

FIFA can go to hell. If they like, let them ban us for 10 yrs. What rubbish. why is it not interference when government gives money to NFF for them to embezzle?
Re: Fifa Give Nigeria 48 Hours Ultimatum To Reverse Ban. by honeric01(m): 11:34pm On Jul 02, 2010
Nothing is changing our stands, those who do not like it should move to another country, or betterstill you can start supporting another country for that 2 years.

THE GOVERNMENT FUNDS THE NFF AND THE FOOTBALL HOUSE, YET SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO DETERMINE WHO AND WHAT SHOULD GO ON WITH THE MONEY, now, does that make sense to anyone against the pronouncement of the president? undecided
Re: Fifa Give Nigeria 48 Hours Ultimatum To Reverse Ban. by Jenwitemi(m): 11:39pm On Jul 02, 2010
Can't Nigeria restructure her football without banning SE from international competitions? Is the ban that necessary for the restructuring? I don't get it.

what is the purpose of the ban? to punish the Super Eagles or to rebuild the team? Did the U 17 and Olympic U23 team disgrace us, too?

Nigeria can arrest & prosecute those who embezzle funds. What is wrong with that? Why ban the team because of Lulu and his cronies?
Re: Fifa Give Nigeria 48 Hours Ultimatum To Reverse Ban. by Rastamann: 12:02am On Jul 03, 2010
FIFA is using the non interference clause to encourage corruption and high-headedness of football administrators especially in developing countries as they should have a second look at that clause. More so, FIFA cannot run our country for us. Nigeria is bigger than FIFA.
Re: Fifa Give Nigeria 48 Hours Ultimatum To Reverse Ban. by Princek12(m): 12:02am On Jul 03, 2010
The problem with a lot of unexposed people here supporting the ban is that they don't realize that the Super Eagles play not only for Nigerian fans at home and abroad but also to other foreign nationals and non African black people, all of whom cheer for the success of black and African teams, particularly Nigeria. They have all been calling me and expressing their frustration about the ban. The Super Eagles jersey is sold by Adidas worldwide; these idiots do not realize the impact of the ban on jersey sales and the brand of the Super Eagles. All these near sighted people. Many of the black folks were all cheering for the African teams and today were cheering for Ghana.

You still dont get it do you?

After the people abroad and wherever cheers the super eagles while playing, then what? After Adidas sells super Eagles jersey(which no amount comes into Nigeria's accts.) then what? The foreigners calling you and expressing their frustrations to you, do they have FA's that steall millions of dollars from accounts and tell them they must never probe them or FIFA will ban them?
Ok, the foreigners that are so frustrated with the decision, do they have the huge number of unemployed citizens that cant boast of earning 5k per month on salary while their government wastes millions of dollars on some arrogant,spoilt footballers and a band of criminals in the NFF?
I bet the foreigners who love our football so much, have other stuff that are working for them in the country and thats why they have all the time to be so engaged in our football yeah?

Why are you too not seeing beyond your nose? Why is your inordinate desire for entertainment that comes in the name of football stopping you from also thinking it through and seeing other sides to this?

Some of you people think its only when you call others names in your post that you will appear sensible or learned. The reverse is the case man.

You won't get it, for you have the typical Nigerian mentality. That is the same thing a 419 says, that he does not care about Nigeria's image because he wants to make a dime. My point is that we need to think about the far reaching consequences of what we do before we do it.

That is the govt.'s problem, then. That is why Nigeria is backward and will never move forward because of this kind of mentality. I hope FIFA suspends Nigeria for 25 years so that our future generations can learn.

Which facts are you asking him to get straight. People who know what is going on have explained to you several times what happened but you keep ranting around the whole place.I also highlighted to you what the Minister went through with FIFA but you totally ignored that and continued calling people who have divergent views names. For the benefit of doubt lets recount it to you again. After we lost at SA(this was widely reported), the Minister met with FIFA officials and told them about wide spread corruption and how we need to sanitize the FA and as such, probes and account audits have to be made. FIFA, instead of giving support for the laudable cause, warned Nigeria of interference.  

That means that any probe, arrest, or intimidation of the NFF officials, would mean interference and would result to the same ban. What was the government to do in this situation? Simply withdraw from FIFA competitions and sort the NFF out. Yes everyone was aware of the consequences so there was no going back.

You think if it was just easy to probe them without FIFA banning us that they wouldnt do that? Do you think the target of all this is our National teams? The target is and has always been the NFF. You are the one to get facts straight.

I am aware of the preceding events. So now, can you explain how the NFF officials are elected?
Re: Fifa Give Nigeria 48 Hours Ultimatum To Reverse Ban. by A40(m): 2:18am On Jul 03, 2010
Inasmuch as banning the team is a bit hypocritical of GJ we have bigger problems as a country IMO. I think someone may need to bomb FIFA's secretariat before they realize they are just an organization that have no power over any sovereign country. Imagine Blatter warning Sarkozy! Does the president of a country not have the rights to inquire about the disgraceful outing of his subjects? The players where French before they became footballers same goes for the Super Vultures

I have watched you type false details for a while now, but now i am ready to burst your bubbles, how is it possible for government to probe a body that has sovereignty to the laws of the land at which they dwell? DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE MEANS?

Probing anyone from the NFF by the government is seen as government interference by FIFA whichever way you look at it.

FIFA wants the NFF to be the sole body that regulate and judge anything that concerns football in the country, either to probe themselves or not, its left for the NFF members alone and nothing else.


Now tell me, A GOVERNMENT THAT FUNDS THIS BODY IS NOT SEEN AS AN INTERFERER BUT A GOVERNMENT THAT DECIDES TO CLOSE DOWN THIS BODY IS SEEN AS AN INTERFERER, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS DOUBLE STANDARD IS BEING MAINTAINED BY FIFA?.


NFF can not survive on its own, it relies on the government, so this kind of body cannot be said to be independent of the government if it cannot survive financially on its own without government pumping in millions of nairas.
