[b]SUPER EAGLES head coach Samson Siasia has threatened to resign if the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) decides to take the next African Nations Cup qualifying match against Ethiopia to Kaduna. According to the former international, Kaduna has never been in his programme and nobody had ever discussed that with him.

"No one can push me around on that, it is either Abuja or nothing else," Siasia stressed.

The coach noted that the chairman of the technical committee of NFF, Christopher Green should have consulted with him before making such pronouncement.

"I have never seen the Ahmadu Bello stadium before and would never take my team to play there," SiaOne thundered. On the Green Bowl Invitational Tournament in the United States, the China Olympics silver winning coach said while they await the issuance of visas to the team, the organisers have decided to make it a four-nation tournament of Nigeria, Mexico, Kenya and Panama. The tournament will now begin on February 26th.[/b][i][/i][color=#000099][/color] http://thenationonlineng.net/web3/football-golf-boxing/27975.html

Until public officials are ready to discharge their duty without fear or favour, Nigeria will continue to crawl and go no where. The era of impunity should not be allowed to continue.

Nigerian political office holder, I beg u all in d name of God, pls allow siasia 2 do wot he knows how 2 do best. The era of Ngn politics, favouritism, unnecessary interference in every damn thing shld b a thing of d past in Nig. U guys in ur respective political offices are after looting & selfish wealth accumulation. Siasia is after moving sports, d youths, & Nig. 4ward. So, allow him 2 per4m, & dn't try 2 find unnecessary faults in his hands.

Pathetic!
