So our Supreme Court is lesser than FIFA or what?

Buhari flouting court judgements since 1900!

There is a court called CAS - Court of Arbitration for Sport, that is the only court respected by FIFA and most sporting organizations. CAS’ judgement supersedes any country’s supreme court judgement. Chris Giwa already lost the case in CAS. He should getout!

D thing is dat FIFA doesn't recognise our local court...they only respects the judgments of Court of Arbitration for Sport ...so Giwa's local court victory was an effort in futility.

PMB just saved us 4rm International embarrassment.

this would be one of the major achievements of buhari. I don't know what Chris giwa is looking for in NFF. Amaju pinnick is working, for the first time Nigeria football seems to be having a direction.

Having a direction with the disgraceful exist at the World Cup. Even Keshi that took us to second round at Brazil was sacked. The entire board of the NFA along with the foolish Igbo players that dominated the team should be disbanded with immediate alacrity.

NFF Crisis: Buhari has saved Nigeria from embarrassment, says Pinnick



As SSS chase Giwa out of NFF State Security Service agents Monday ejected the Nigeria Football Federation Chris Giwa faction from the Glasshouse headquarters of the NFF, following directives from President Muhamadu Buhari.

Pinnick and Giwa And an embattled Amaju Pinnick who was briefly banished by a Supreme court order enforced by Sports Minister Solomon Dalung was full of praise for the President for his good judgment and foresight, which prevented the country from being sanctioned by the world soccer governing body FIFA. “We must give all the credit to our President, Muhammadu Buhari, for acting to restore the leadership of the federation and saving the nation the embarrassment,” Pinnick said.

“Even as the situation persisted, I was very positive about his patriotic commitment to the best interest of the nation and his clarity of judgment to bring order to bear. “It is said that the sheep cannot be suffering the pangs of birth tied to the stake while elders are around.

He has demonstrated this fatherliness in so many ways across various sectors and now football is the latest beneficiary. We thank God for his life and for giving him to us.

“By his intervention, the nation has been saved the embarrassment, the world football community has been reassured of the high sense of responsibility of the government of Nigeria as a member of the international community and hope is brought back to thousands of Nigeria youths engaged in football as the various national teams can proceed on their various programmes without apprehension, the various leagues which were stopped under the circumstance can now get back to action while the confidence of the various sponsors, partners and investors in Nigeria football has been restored.”

He urged Nigerian football stakeholders to embrace peace and work for the overall progress of the country’s football and youths. “Football is about people, about unity. The game belongs to the fans and the pride belongs to the nation. The people are deprived when football is inhibited but with the action of the President, Nigerians can now enjoy what they love most.”

Whenever something is about working well in Nigeria, some demonic sets of Nigerians will come and try to scatter it.

Giwa is one of these demons.

What exactly does he think he can offer our football? what has he positively given the Nigerian football community apart from Giwa FC that is no where to be found?

Thank you Buhari for returning normalcy to the NFF.

The foundation of football in Nigeria is getting shapely as the days go by under the tutelage of Pinnic.

Is executive order not government interference with football according to FIFA rules and regulations.

Problem is, Chris Giwa executive is not FIFA recognized. Chris Giwa even failed in his case at the Court of Arbitraiton for Sports. (the highest international body in adjucating sports related matters).

Hence the executive order...or else FIFA bans us.

The problem is....Giwa got a Supreme court ruling in his favour...which he used to take over the glass house HQ. So, the DSS is in essence enforcing FIFA rules/considering FIFA rules superior to Nigerian rules.

That is where the issue lies. And to be frank, I kind of agree with Segun Odegbami when he said some years ago that FIFA expecting that there won't be ANY government interfernence in footballing affairs the world over was a big ask.

1. So far, PMB has not necessarily ignored court orders regarding governors having to step down...infact it has not happened yet.

2.The Pinnick led admin of NFF is FIFA recognised. It has even been recognised as the legitimate leadership of the NFF by the Court of Arbitration for Sports...in a case brought by Mr Giwa(which he lost).

3. Thing is, Mr Giwa also went to the Supreme Court...which ruled in his favour.

4.That puts Govt in a dilema....either obey the Supreme Court...and Nigeria gets a FIFA ban....or disobey the Supreme Court...and Nigeria stays in FIFA's good books.

5.Because football is so important to the average Nigerian....government decided to follow FIFA rather than risk a ban.(The last time we got banned under the GEJ admin...under different circumstances...measures were taken by the government that got the ban lifted in a few months...in time for CAF qualifiers, and FIFA qualifiers for the 2014 world cup)

6.The problem in my opinion is FIFA's insistence that governments must not interfere in the activities of the various football associations/federations. While I agree with FIFA....the truth is, it is an unrealistic expectaiton. And now...we have a classic case of government interference in favour of FIFA. Wonder what FIFA would do now.

Some of you just jump into matters without knowing the rules. Football matters is only governed by FIFA, No court is allowed, Supreme court has no jurisdiction in FIFA related matter except court of Arbitration for sports.
So, Giwa going to supreme court or any other local court for FIFA/Football issues is tantamount to govt involvement in football administration and there against FIFA rules.
Giwa should go and sleep!
