In one breath we all cry for government to hands off football only to clamour for LASG to still assist in packaging the teams.

The newly promoted Lagos clubs should continue the model that got them this far & stay clear from any State funding that may destroy them in a short period.

bros that is not what I meant by "packaging " what I meant was adequate publicity and support to aid the public in supporting these teams. eg billboards, adverts, free tickets to see matches for some individuals, adequate security and so on, just basically PR stuff like the copa lagos beach soccer tourney. we have all seen the effects of good and sports loving governance in the case of enyimba and heartland but it's better to keep government out of our soccer as you have so rightly said. peace.

The entire league itself needs to be COMPLETELY privatised to make it grow like that of South Africa, England etc so it PAYS government TAXES and creates direct and indirect EMPLOYMENT for thousands if not millions of our youths who are trekking across the Sahara desert and floating on the Mediterranean Sea to enter Europe to become voluntary SLAVES who are UNDER-employed.

Bro, that is the sweet & sour reality that many of our fellow citizens face.
In the abundance of water (in Nigeria), we fools are thirsty (going abroad like the Biblical prodigal son).
May we help ourselves so God can complete the rest- Amen!

Here are photos of some Nigerians who were deported from the United Kingdom. A plane carrying about 500 Nigerians deported from the UK landed in Lagos earlier today. According to reports , the deportees are not happy to be back and those who don't have relatives in the Lagos are stranded in the airport....

Kadiri Ikhana (born 31 December 1951 in Ilorin) is a Nigerian football coach
Ikhana grew up in Ilorin, where he began playing football as a child. He initially played as a goalkeeper but soon became a utility player, before eventually commanding the position of right-back.[1] He joined the army and played football in the Inter-Unit football competition organised in the Artillery Camp Headquarters at Kaduna.

Playing with the Nigerian Army, Ikhana was discovered by club Bendel Insurance and signed for them in 1977. Ikhana was a member of the Green Eagle squad that won the 1980 African Cup of Nations and represented Nigeria at the 1980 Summer Olympic Games.
After retiring from playing, he became the first coach of Maiduguri's El-Kanemi Warriors in 1986. He is also a former coach of BCC Lions, Kwara United F.C., Sunshine Stars F.C., Sharks F.C. and Enyimba F.C., leading the latter to a CAF Champions League title.[3] He resigned from his position at Kano Pillars on 27 May 2008, citing corruption in the game.[4] He had led Kano Pillars to their first ever league title a day earlier.[5] It concluded his third stint with the squad, as he was their coach for their first premier league season in 1991 and saved them from relegation in 1998. On 1 August 2008, he was rehired to be the coach of Sharks F.C.[6]

The 2008 season was a tough one. On 24 September, Ikhana was accosted by three youths at his hotel in Akure after the Sharks played at Sunshine Stars. They were later captured.[7] On 12 October, he went to the hospital however when he was attacked by hooligans after Sharks upset league leading Kaduna United F.C. 1–0 in Kaduna.[8] After almost leaving Sharks after the 2009 Federation Cup final (a 1–0 loss to Enyimba), he returned for the 2009–10 season but went MIA after the first eight games.[9] He was linked to a move to Wikki Tourists F.C.[10] He eventually moved to Niger and was hired as technical consultant to the Niger Football Federation.[11]

In July 2010, he was hired by Kwara United[12] He was hired as the technical advisor for the Nigeria women's team in March 2012.[13] He resigned in November after the team placed fourth at the 2012 African Women's Championship, their worst ever showing.

In August 2013, he was hired by Nasarawa United for the final 11 games of the 2013 season.[14] He stepped down after the season and said he has no plans to coach from the bench again.[15] However, in May 2014 he accepted the vacant job of Giwa F.C., the 9th different top-flight club he has coached.[16] After family concerns about the security in Jos, he resigned after less than two months to coach Enyimba.
