Our loss is unfortunate and avoidable at the soccer match. Soccer is not Nigeria's immediate problem now. We have loads of domestic issues that need urgent attention.
NFF and Sports Ministry Officials are having a field day here in Russia. Many Nigerians fans have been stranded because the officials horded the tickets and refused to pay hotel bills of the fans that they brought to Russia. They are busy playing politics and tribalism with the whole process. I wouldn't be surprised if they have succeeded in bribing the few Nigerian journalists that raised concern about the anomaly. Many Nigerians were locked out their hotel rooms because of many days of non payment of bills.

My fear actually came to pass. My fear was having a Messi fan officiate the match and it happened.
