Same hatred that killed Ojukwu and your father will consume you if you don't change your way.

Sanchez01:
As much as I admire his vision, I honestly don't see him becoming the FIFA President. FIFA is highly political and corruption runs deep with the organisation. The likes of Luiz Figo and Platini who suddenly took interest in the FIFA presidency could make Odegbami less of a figure. The NFF is barely together and Segun Odegbami coming from a country whose footballing association is not in sync is an indication of what he'll face up there. Need I add the little or no impact our team ( the SE) is presently making. The level of rot and corruption within the NFF, should FIFA consider the footballing association of the candidates is enough to put Odegbami out.

Odegbami would be sandwiched, there are no two ways about him. Good luck to him in his quest though.

Ilekeh:
Nigerians are haters, specifically people from the east. Why do you guys hate Yoruba success and competition?

Why do you guys feel inferior to the Europeans in terms of top positions? If they can do it, you can do it.

Jeez. Stop feeling inferior.

It's time to support one of our own. I give this man my blessing

Evathyst:
Oga, your blessing wouldn't even see him get a vote in neighbouring Ghana. Talk less of winning the contest. See, there's this adage that says 'It is easier to wake a sleeping person than one who pretends to be asleep...'
I don't even know whom to wake between you & Odegbami now self. Cos it seems both of you are sleeping on the same mattress. Lolz!

livinbygrace:


Forget it,someone that cant win ordinary NFF election,now seeking for world position.That is the greatest illusion of the year.Abeg make he pack well..Moreover,i be confirm yoruba man.

The audacity of dreams.

State FA chairman election campaign is a more reasonable and well thought out move than what he is "fantasizing" about.

The Obama comparison looks abit out of sync here, was Obama not some senator abi congress member repping Chicago in the background of american Democratic party runs before moving into the next step of vying for democrats ticket for presidency?

Why is odegbami appearing to be roofing a house in thin air before doing the foundation and the other key "works" prior to roofing?

Ilekeh:


Let him try. Give him your support. He can't win by himself.
You think all the other europeans qualify more than him? no, they have sponsors.
Better open your eyes to global politics.

NaLaugh:


Obama was a relatively inexperienced "junior" senator from Illinois, who had been a senator barely over 2 years.
When he began his campaign early 2007, I remember being at work, and saying I was going to vote for him - everyone laughed.
Yes, including all the African Americans who suddenly jumped on the bandwagon in 2008, when his chances started to improve.

At the time, his chances appeared slim to none. It would have also made a good example of your "roofing a house in thin air" example.
However, in life, there are two kinds of people:

Those who look at a pile of rubble, and see a pile of rubble, and those who see a pile of gold.

Honestly, I have very little interest in FIFA and or its politics, I just felt the need to say there is no need to write him off.

sirjohnson:


Hey man, take a chill pill... I was only trying some pun stunts. I am Yoruba and I like Odegbami

MosakuAW:

I wish him well.

To say the truth, he will not win. No African can become FIFA president unless its zone. The world cup competition was played in Africa because it was kind of zone to Africa.

No white man will allow African to rule over world football. They can never bow to us.

I still wish him well, it good to be ambitious and this will make him popular among the whites.

don't be so inferior, the whites bowed to Obama...Egypt once enslaved Israel.

Akinrogun:
Senor Segun.... FIFA presidency is beyond sartorial elegance or being dressed like egungun (masquerade).......take a chill and realign with d deep seated political mafioso in charge @fifa....

u b omoluabi... I know u will take to reason.

Punstar:
Someone of your ilk wouldn't have given Obama a chance. Young Africans need to abolish this archiac ''gaddemed'' complex of some sort. It won't get us anywhere. He who tries, wins.... If you were Mandela, SA won't be free

MosakuAW:


Your taught your believe. He is not Mandela neither does he have the charisma of Obama.

BTW, this is world football consisting of over 252 countries as member and not a country election. Get that.

eni4real:
Why can't he win if he has "Faith, Courage and
Enthusiasm"?

chino11:
He is too ughh..to be a FIFA president. Tufia!

Next person please..

EverestdeBliu:
Considering the corruption rate adduced to Nigeria,will FIFA presidency ever be given to one of our own? Especially when the present president,Blatter want to be booted out coz of corruption charges?
But the way,I heard NFF haven't given him their support. Orji Kalu who haven't made public his interest to run for the post,has been reported to have more support.

laurel03:
Continue deceiving ur self.... Odegbami dt can't win NFF election .....
