This Man ought to have been arrested a long time ago... How he still parades as NFF official is baffling. That Ibori, Uduaghan, and Ibru families are criminally minded.

Long overdue.
For your information Fifa paid the Nff more than
£10million for the participation of Nigeria national women team in the on-going Fifa women world cup in France. Yet the corrupt NFF management refused to pay the players..

That white bearded man need to face the music.

Nope, Nigeria can't be banned for this...
Even CAF, uefa and FIFA presidents have been arrested and tried for corruption by different governments.


In fact, he and Rohr deserve to be arrested based on our performance against Madagascar

Please the rot in the glass house should be washed immediately

Owing players money has become like a tradition in Nigeria. The stink should be uprooted from the root
It's has become...it's not new nor peculiar to this nff.
Even the late Stephen Keshi, Austin Eguavoen et al who played from around 1983 to 95, retired with lots of monies owed that were never paid to them.
Nff has been the money spinner for many civil servants in the sports ministry and fight for nff govt slots.
