Nigerian Fifa Executive Committee Member Offer To Sell 2018 World Cup Bid Votes by smile4kenn(m): 10:56pm On Oct 16, 2010
Two Fifa officials have offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup, according to a Sunday Times report.

The newspaper has video footage in which Nigerian Amos Adamu, a Fifa executive committee member, appears to ask for £500,000.

This is completely against Fifa rules.

And Oceania Football Confederation president Reynald Temarii, wanted money for a sports academy for his vote, which will take place on 2 December.

England are competing to host the tournament in eight years time, as well as Russia and joint bids from Spain and Portugal and Holland and Belgium.

A 24-strong committee will decide by secret ballot who should host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Lol, Just saw this on TV.

The undercover reporter asked him, "Should the money go via the Nigerian Football Federetion or should it go to you directly?"
He replied, "Directly, directly."
She then asked, "Will that affect how you vote for the world cup bid"
And he responded, "It will have an effect, since you want the vote."

I get the feeling he just lost his job with FIFA. . .

And no, no one is surprised, no need for investigation.

Hope they keep on catching and shaming these thieves. Some day Nigerians will be on the news for something good.

Just watched it on Skynews. Damn, that man is just confirmed all the rumours about him, a very stupid thief. He lost his job as DG of sports due to his notorious activities.

He is an embarassment to Nigeria and FIFA. What a big disgrace.

@ toba,
He became a billionaire thru his greed, so no amount of slush money is too small for him.

A criminal will always be a criminal no matter the colour of clothes he puts on.

I hope this marks the end of the i.diot in sports.

Good riddance!

and if he had succeeded he would have given a portion to his church or mosque for "god's blessing" and his town's chief/emir who may give him a chieftaincy thieftaincy title even though his act is adding to the collective shame of nigerians all over the world, even when they have double nationality.
i imagine the man and his beneficiaries (close & distant relations, friends and acquaintances) blaming nigeria's problems on bad leadership shocked arrant hypocrisy!!!

@ akintun

You can't fault them(sunday times) for whatever they did, its called investigative journalism.

Adamu was a criminal before eva he came in contact with them, and i can bet you that this will not have a negative influence on their bid.

Rather, Adamu by his actions has just confirmed to the whole world that Nigerians are crooks!

Are you saying he should not have taken the bribe?

How is Nigeria's name going down everyday?

this may sound controversial but i will say it anyways;
he may not lose his job in FIFA.
FIFA is filled with corrupt, disgraced men and women.
The whole FIFA hierachy is corrupt, probable the most corrupt organisation in the world.
Sepp Blatter is worse than most African despots.
that bloke from T&T is worse (Jack Warner).
goggle the law case between him and the T&T squad from the 98 world cup.
No wonder, members are barred from taking FIFA our its national associations to court.
How a man like Amos Adamu can be rising like a comet in FIFA circles irrespective of his ineptitude at home and proven sleaze over time is a case to ponder.
Ever wondered about that old clown called Issa Hayatou?who wants to die in office.
FIFA protects its own.

Infact,it's about time all the hypocrisy and shenanigans of Amos Adamu were exposed,what sweeter platform than the international platform.Trust the Brit press,they'd overflog overkill this story

I think Toba is confusing GBP for Naira,just tell him Adamnu is not a billionaire in pounds and that the 500kGBP in question here is over 120 million naira
Re: Nigerian Fifa Executive Committee Member Offer To Sell 2018 World Cup Bid Votes by Olaolufred(m): 3:51pm On Oct 20, 2010
FIFA is probably,and most likely a body filled with Worm Cans of Extra-corrupt People.

Sepp Blatter, I think would be corrupt as well.

The easiest way to know a corrupt body is when the officers in charge would rather die than leave the office.

Fifa has an atmosphere that allows the most corrupt sport officials in the continents to florish well.

That is why Hayatou and Adamu thrives better than Olive Tree in the house of shame Called FIFA.

Don't you see how they use their rules to protect the NFF members to sustain the tributes they collect?

I wait to see whether they can proove me wrong.
