Recap.

1) The NFF has often failed to pay the Super Falcons their entitlements when due. This has been the case stretching back to the Year 2000.

It has even come to a point in this country where everyone including national bodies don't trust themselves any longer....

Everyone has become a suspect including the presidency!!.....

Raxxye:
Going by antecedents of such committees set up by the leadership of the National Assembly to investigate issues under contention in the past, I can predict the outcome of this adhoc committee:
1. NFF will pay part of the entitlement to the players because of this pressure, but the players will never get the complete money.
2. Members of the NA committee will collect "appreciation envelopes" from the NFF chairman and will die the matter!
Borrowing the words of False prophet, "This, I have seen!"

Naija sha!

Pauliaette:


Pls I need to understand something because the grammar is to much based on these payments...
I thought that 2023 world cup bonuses has been paid to them directly from FIFA?

ShootThemAll:
If Tinubu is a man of integrity he should summon the Minister of Sports to pay the Super Falcons all their benefits as soon as possible and with a comprehensive report but NO! Tinubu can't do it because they are all his colleagues in looting.

Unfortunately, there is nothing these lawmakers can do to them. The NFF officials will visit them later in the night and money will change hands. The genesis of this whole issue is FIFA’s rule that ban the interference of Government on the activities of the Football Federation. That gave the NFF a free pass to embezzling the funds given to them annually by FIFA and CAF. This explains one of the reasons Amaju Pinnick the former FA boss now own a Private Jet.

OGHENAOGIE:
why will FIFA bypass federation of a country to pay players... Is that how it should be done Whatever money that is entitled to any of the falcons ll get to them... Since FIFA already agreed with all football federations..

OGHENAOGIE:
why should sports minister pay them when NFF is there with an elected president... By the way falcons would get their due

ShootThemAll:


Agbado boy, once you hear Tinubu you will come out. NFF President reports to the Minister of Sports and the Minister of Sports reports to your Thiefnubuuu.

OGHENAOGIE:
NFF president doesn't report to sports minister he report to FIFA... That's why he can't be removed by sports minister or Nigerian president except Nigeria wants to chop ban from FIFA... Try use ur sense everything isn't shouting agbado...

Agbado boys and propaganda, and they do it with no iota of shame . NFF was formed in 1945 and NFF JOINED FIFA in 1960! Do the maths and ask your small dumb head if NFF reports to FIFA how come, it was not formed by FIFA but joined FIFA. Agbado and propaganda...

OGHENAOGIE:
you just ignorant and foolish at the same time... NFF president is duely elected with a year tenure... Ur sports minister or president can't remove him... When GEJ tried removing maigari in 2014... FIFA suspended Nigeria until maigari was returned back as president... If u like Continue shouting agbado like a big mumu... FIFA control football worldwide

ShootThemAll:


Agbado please read your comment... Sense is really far from you. So if you cannot remove someone from their position that means he/she doesn't report to you. Even your Thiefnubuu couldn't remove Emefiele the CBN governor who reports to the Minister of Finance. So stop typing rubbish.
