chidichris:

if togo govt can do it, it will be in the interest of football if the country as a whole will boycot all caf organised matches until propare attention is paid to the attack on the country's reps in angola that killed 3 of their reps.
where else in the world can this kind of poo happen?
that along is raisning issues in the sa 2010 as many who intended coming are reconsidering their decissions.
england was quick to suggest a possible pull out if the security of their reps is not assured.
what if adebayor died? will those of us here saying craps be acting in the same manner?
caf shld have been reasonable enough to consider what it means loosing two people in the same bus and entering the picth to play.
africans behave like goats and that is how they are treated outside africa.


We can see the effect reflecting even in the sales of ticket for SA 2010. Insecurity in Africa and our reluctant reactions towards it has been exposed to the world. Two foreigners were kill in a competition organised by CAF, no investigation conducted, no solid arrest has been made till today, no action taking against the host for the breach in security. Yet CAF kept quite till today, but instead silenced the bereaved with bans and fine. How many people wanna take the risk of flying to Africa only to get killed by some unknown Rebels. Am surprised that even the FIFA never pointed this as a factor contributing to the low sale of SA 2010 ticket.

  Although I do not support CAF's ban, I understand why they did it. Togo broke rules and were given the stipulated punishment. All countries where told to fly into Angola but Togo decided to go by road (maybe to save cost) although they knew that part of Angola was not safe. Then decided to pull out of the tournament (understandable  though), this could have  coursed the cancellation of the entire tournament. They pulled out and were given the stipulated punishment as I said.
  As for arresting the culprits, I hope you are not suggesting the resumption of the just ended civil war in that country. Even before this unfortunate incident many people (especially Europeans) were already making noise about the high level of crime in SA. They will always make such noise when the WC is not staged in Europe (crime rate too high, temperatures too high, cost of living too high etc.) left to them the WC will only be hosted in Europe.

@zoraro,
who is feeding u with all these craps? when once u decide to host a tournament, u must be ready to provide security to each and every visitor of urs within the boarders of ur country.
if they were warned not to take the roads, why did angola security accompany them? if angola knew it has security problem, why did they opt to host the tournament? why is everything turned upside down here in africa?
if anyone is hurt in any part of angola while the tournament was on, caf and the angola local organising committee must explain that to the whole world.
what is the essence of host an international event of sports if not to bring the whole country to the knowledge of the world? such events showcase the country's industries and investments opportunities as well as other potentials of the hosting nation. if this is true, how can u do this while ppl hide in restricted places?
the angola experience was not a good one to fans and players as well as the whole sporting world.
caf's decission was this terrible that abedi pele who was a member of caf rfejected it openly on tv.

@zoraro,
as uninformed and ignorant as you are, u still assume the position of a teacher here. this is the case with nigeria and nigerians and we all are heading to a crash because those who are in charge of us are far from the realities of life.
with ppl like zoraro at the head, what do u expect rather than what we have in nigeria-backwardness instead of forwardness.

@zoraro,
what happened during the massacre in germany and where the massacared teams forced to participate in the game and were they banned after the game for being massacred?
how on earth can ur type be constructive in arguements.
we are talking about human lives here. in ur wisdom, will u be able to participate in a game if ur family member dies in the preparation of the game. can u be part of the game when ur team mates are in the mortuary? do blood mean anything to u?
what if adebayor died in the process? what was the guarrantte that they were not going to be attacked again?
do u know that those killed in the process are ppl's sons, fathers, husbands etc, what if ur loved one was involved.
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor Retires From Togo International Duty by Nobody: 4:50pm On Apr 14, 2010
As a leader,it turns out that Adebayor has nothing to give.
If he gives up playing as captain,then the rest of the Togo squad should give up as well.One would have thought he would be there as a symbol of hope and courage for his teammates and the families of the deceased,but alas,the chicken-hearted weasel backs out.
It's really not a surprise coming from such a disappointment of a human being
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor Retires From Togo International Duty by cliveland: 6:17pm On Apr 14, 2010
most of u are missing d main issue,, after 4years from now what would be left of Adebayor and d host of the team, its just cos he may perhaps d most popular of them all.

he is surely right to have taken d decision n i pray most well meaning pros' do so too caf are a collection of fools, without d players will dey be there

if the camerunian or Egyptian team well d ones attached like that surely dat competition will be postpone at least a week or venue changed,
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor Retires From Togo International Duty by zoraro(m): 8:51pm On Apr 14, 2010
@chidichris I value human life as much as you, that doesn't mean that the world should come to a stop when such things happen. From your logic, the other nations/players that continued with the competition do not value human life?
As pertaining to the ban, I said that I do not support it, read my posts again.

@zoraro,
we all witnessed the situation a couple of months ago. after the attck, the players decided to play for their dead ones but the president of the country said no to that and even sent a private jet to bring back the whole team.
the security of the players and the entire staff was supposed to the responsibility of the angolan govt and caf hence the whole world and togo were expecting to hear from these organizers. the rest here are stories.
adebayor at his age will be fooling himself if he goes on a 4 yr ban which means absence from two nations cup. add that to what he has played and u will see that it is of no use.
what am saying here is that other teams shld not have kept quiet to this injustice because it cld be anyone. how will nigeria and nigerians react to such a situation if our team was in the picture.
do not forget that 99.99% of these players are the hope of their various families and as such shld not engage in such expensive jokes.
Re: Emmanuel Adebayor Retires From Togo International Duty by femikay149(m): 1:01am On Apr 17, 2010
am nt suprised , this is the second tym he is saying dat he wnt play for togo, although under diff circumstances,

1.Clearly he has shown he is nt a leader,

2.Is he meant to be angry @ togo or @ CAF and angola for nt providing proper security for them

3.Shouldnt he as a captain try to pressurize CAF through all possible means

finally this boy just doesnt ve character,

@femikay149,
is this war supposed to be adebayor's individual war i mean u saying he shld put preasure on caf?
nigeria withdrew from nation's cup in 1996 under abacha and by his instructions citing security as the reason.
adebayor and the whole football team are under the president.
times like this, other national teams are supposed to come up with the preasure. intimidating caf that all of them will withdraw from their games if the ban is not lifted.
the idea of letting caf go away with every decission is bad. at the end of the day, it cld be anyone. drogba was not crowned african player of the year in 2008 because he did not leave his team's preparation for the award. such decissions are crazy and caf always get away with them because no one cares. how on earth can u ban someone u attacked, held hostage and killed? this is mad.

@kayality,
are u suggesting that i stop commenting on nairaland because u don't like how i talk? or do i need to ask u before i comment? caf banned nigeria because nigeria just mentioned security reasons and we all knew it was the politics of abacha then but in the case of togo, they were up for the game. the lives of three ppl were taken by the same angola who said they were ready. today south africa is saying we are ready. do u know the meaning of we are ready? do u know how that incident in angola is affecting the world cup. just assume players like messi, rooney, ronaldo and other out of the world class players in a bus and were attacked or killed.
i do not blame most of here because a man born and brought up in this jungle called nigeria can never attach anything to life.
outside nigeria, a man who is having headache,makes a call to the mergency services, ambulances will fly from here and there, trafic laws will be broken and the street will be informed with the emergency services coming to the rescue of just one person so if u are in nigeria the whole of ur life, it is only on international movies that u see such and that does not make any sense to u.
the other group here were blaming togo for taking bus instead of flight, today, barcelona is travelling to milan on bus.
we lack information and that is why we can't move forward.

@zoraro,
wether jonah was swallowed by shark or by fish, the key word here is swallow.
u can take bus for iceland volcanic or island volcanic or even italian volcanic, the subject here is BUS.
togo for whatever reasons they took the bus shld be protected by the organisers of the torunanment.
do not come here to justify the attack of togolese team with ur bus reason.
in the histroy of international games, togo is not the first team to have used a bus to cross over.
the attack was wrong, the killing was and is unacceptable. togo deserves appology and not banning.
