Nigeria on the news again for all wrong reasons!!!


Two Fifa officials are alleged to have offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup, according to a Sunday Times report.

The newspaper claims Nigerian Amos Adamu, a Fifa executive committee member, asked for £500,000 for a "personal project", against Fifa rules.

And Oceania Football Confederation president Reynald Temarii, wanted money for a sports academy for his vote.

Fifa will decide the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups on 2 December.

Amos Adamu, again?

this will probably make front page.

And no, no one is surprised, no need for investigation.

Hope they keep on catching and shaming these thieves. Some day Nigerians will be on the news for something good.

Amos Adamu, again?

Exactly my reaction when i saw the news, tv stations here are carrying the video evidence of him.

If this is true then shame on him and FIFA.

Amos Adamu and FIFA are corrupt! Sepp Blatter is a fraud personel! Thank God for the video evidence, let see how he would play his high wire politics to get out of this! Shame He claimed the money was to be used for building artificial Pitches when it is well known that Football is very well funded in Nigeria and that the only reason there are no 1st class structures on ground is because of corrupt minds ( like Amos Adamu ) running Football administration in the country!

HA HA, LET SEE IF THIS IS ANOTHER GOVERNMENT INTERFERANCE ! wayo wayo of international dimension!

and if he had succeeded he would have given a portion to his church or mosque for "god's blessing" and his town's chief/emir who may give him a chieftancy thieftancy title even though his act is adding to the collective shame of nigerians all over the world, even when they have double nationality.
i imagine the man and his beneficiaries (close & distant relations, friends and acquaintances) blaming nigeria's problems on bad leadership shocked
arrant hypocrisy!!!

He wants £500,000 paid directly to him for the 'development of soccer in Nigeria'

Effing thief !!!!

And look at the mess he has created in Nigerian football. Lambasting those that threaten his cabal and calling ex-international drunks. This excuse for a human being has simply taken his corrupt COJA antecedents to the international stage and embarrassed the country once more. But like the unfortunate gutter rat he has bitten more than he can chew. Let us see on whose side Blatter will come down now. Kick him the hell out of FIFA and let the EFCC be his welcoming party. Criminally inept punk.

this may sound controversial but i will say it anyways;
he may not lose his job in FIFA.
FIFA is filled with corrupt, disgraced men and women.
The whole FIFA hierachy is corrupt, probable the most corrupt organisation in the world.
Sepp Blatter is worse than most African despots.
that bloke from T&T is worse (Jack Warner).
goggle the law case between him and the T&T squad from the 98 world cup.
No wonder, members are barred from taking FIFA our its national associations to court.
How a man like Amos Adamu can be rising like a comet in FIFA circles irrespective of his ineptitude at home and proven sleaze over time is a case to ponder.
Ever wondered about that old clown called Issa Hayatou?who wants to die in office.
FIFA protects its own.

I think he will be suspended, FIFA will throw the book at him to safe face.
