9JAMac10:

Stay glued to the TV at 11am back on those days

Correct Comrade's those 2, I remember them sir, always Saturday things are the best with sport highlights

daveP:
From 20 to 30 to 50naira. We dey😹
The Nigerians abroad part especially. 😂
I hated interviews of the nff presidents and sports minister then. Low iq as they talk. Lol

Chaiii you be oldies Sir, from Today's sport to thisday sport, and Soccerstar paper, it was always an avalanche to choose from, then came completesports, and I fall helplessly in love with all their sport contents, including their success digest 💕💕💕


You are right about the sport minister and Nff interviews, those ones no sabi shishi about what they are doing especially Nff then, not forgetting AA and Chief Taiwo Ogunjubi

Jieta2:
Mumi Aloa you did not mentioned him. Please put it there without him complete sport is not complete.

I did he is the one who Anchor soccer talk every Thursday, and Eagles Euro rounds up too,

You forget to mention Dare Esan too

Mujtahida:
Okoye should pray for luck. He needs it. I like his stature.

More than luck Sir, I need him to develop a hard skin to criticism, and abuse,

Seems he doesn't do well with them, generally Maduka na correct keeper

daveP:
It was a must buy that year😎😎
The leaders in that era could control how print media went. But since the social media came, we've been seeing more than we ever imagined, that's why they hate it with passion.
Sad the paper wrapped up as they couldn't fully transition to online. For transitioning, i give Punch Newspaper kudos. E no easy but they pulled it off. Goal com too was a must visit then. Lol.



As for this man, even if the exchange rate was low then, if we use the eval of today value to judge him based on what such funds could do, he becomes a bigger devil. That's why I'm less bothered about if it was 360/$ or 9000/$
The man tiff no be small.

Some of the others didn't even see funds and so they replaced it with incompetence and corruption, nepotism. This one? He saw funds like water. Like water. Mehnn...

See ehn that completesport, I used to go hungry just to get that paper 7days a week, Omo I was an stunch reader of that paper,

Can you believe I was seriously scouting for it earlier this year ,

Eagles Euro roundups, Soccer talks, and the Mathematical, those topics got me hooked good

But let's see sha, cos I don't believe he stole, much of his tenure was thate battle between him and Giwa, who was backed by then Dalung the sport minister,

Who with-held the Nff funds, hence he went to scouts sponsors,

Let's see, more will come out soon

daveP:
Mumini Alao articles and the Mathematical and Solace Chukwu columns daily, weekly that year. I can't forget.


The success of teams in our sports barely transcends from good leadership. I've learnt that a long time ago to never mix the two.

That 2013 success, they'll attach it to nff president. Lmao. The wafcon we just won, they'll do same for Gusau and Madugu. Lol

Format is win something and then what follows is terrible administration covered by that lone success.

But you see this Pinnick??

This man gat the funds combined of the last 3 NFF bosses and he squandered it in a Wolf of Wall Street way. That's a huge huge devil there. Forget all those PR he was a genius at. I loved it too. But those funds were enough to return all the National Teams to compete with the best of Europe if they went in the right coffers. Im judging him mainly on a what would have been.

Heck more exposure comes to light and now I'm on the "what more do i not know mehn?" Level.

Thanks for these, that's what love wey dey wins no fit decipher, he had already attributes that 2013 wins to Aminu


I see you were a superb fans of complete sports and it's sisters publications, yes I look forward to every Thursday and weekends for both Mumuni and The Mathematical,

Pitifully the paper is no longer in print, I miss that paper like madt


On Pinnick, there is something we must come to terms with when judging as per the funds he received, the exchange rates during his time and now are two major things,

I only defended him on whats on ground, as per those revealing things coming to lights,

To be honest we must look back to know where it came from, cos the one presently on ground the $1.2m kebbi stadium, many are using today's exchange rates to judge him on it

daveP:
The lesser devil. Well even that is had to admit but i get your POV. That vote of no confidence and financial secrecy even to the executive..... Sounds like a Lesser Pinnick.

The centre will soon collapse. We have one of the dumbest structures for football administration down to the lane where we are sweating hard over foreign borns vs local grown takes preeminence.



I wish there was NL Polls, I'll put it to a test of who was indeed the worst NFF president.

Wast it same Aminu that was gunning for a third term in office

lovewins:
What's funds and sponsorship? Again, instead of dancing around pull up facts and cite primary sources. I can't rebuttal if I don't even have a clue of specifics of what you're saying.

You are pretending that you don't understand or know what am saying right 😁😁😁

Abegi swerve jhor

lovewins:
Sincerely can't make sense of what's you're saying. The claim is that Pinnick is the worst NFF President and verifiable facts were outlined in support of said argument. You however disagreed, which by implication means you believe there's someone worse than Pinnick.

Instead of trying to explain away Pinnicks incompetence (with a lot of misinformation btw) why not pick another president you believe is worse than Pinnick and give reasons on why you think he's worse based on objective metrics. What you've done instead is try to explain the 2013 AFCON victory, blame age as reasons for our non qualification for 2 WAFCONs, blamed fans for the administrative decisions Pinnick made, blamed the coach choices etc.

We've never had a great NFF President. No one is arguing that. We've always had problems with football adminstration, everybody knows that. But we are saying the claim is that amongst the bad administrators, Pinnick is worse.

BTW, I'm personally indifferent about who is or who isn't the worst NFF President. I only joined the conversation cause your rebuttal was at best incoherent.

A very biased verified facts,
I am not going to bring anything here, believe what you will,

If you can't make sense of what I typed, then no need doing this with you

Bye-bye

lovewins:
Amini Maigari was a lot better. He was the one who pioneered the u13 teams in the NFF which has helped Nigerian football in no little way. It's still a wonder how this program wasn't allowed to thrive under Pinnick

Funds and sponsorship, that's why Pinnick embarked on an aggressive sponsorship drive, that include shirt's and coaches salaries,

Cop with them sport minister withelding the NFF funds from him

lovewins:
What other facts do you want him to bring when you are yet then dispute the one your quoted? It's obvious you're not even aware of the timeline Amaju became President of you're restricting the conversation "from 2019".

Amaju became NFF President in September 2014 and served 8 years as President of the NFF. Just a year prior to him becoming President, Nigeria had won the AFCON but upon his advent as chairman we missed 2 AFCON tournament back to back. That you're asking if the AFCON being referenced is the homebased one shows you shouldn't even be having this conversation but instead should go do some research.

Someone claimed Amaju's time as President is the worst, you disagree even with facts staring you in the face. Then the onus is on you to present facts showing a more worse President the NFF has ever had.

I know say love dey always wins, but in this Case I laff you Sir, honestly I laff 🤣🤣🤣🤣,

Me and you both know that 2013 wins was largely due to players and their coaches, again wasn't it the same coaches who threatened not to return else then NFF do certain things,

And am guessing it's Pinnick then, that was the president 😁

With almost all the players in their 30s, now talk true, when Pinnick came did he or did he not vowed to fans like me and you here and all others to appoint Sunday

Do you want me to continue Off all problems bedeviling Naija football, it didn't even start with him, yet y'all nick him the worst

The only thing which I faulted him for is his Coaches appointments and bowing to fans and the Media alike, as for others he performed better, prove me wrong


More so that stadium that all of you are blaming and fingering him for, ask yourself selves, what was the value of naira to dollar when that funds send during the Pinnick Era,

I will stop here,


Lastly, your recommendation no 5,and 7 are the major reasons we are where we are today as a football loving nation

jihday:
not watching but from sofascore rating I think he’s having a fantastic game

You dey answer person that is viewing flash scores as his watching the match?

victornoah:
E no go better for anybody weh talk down on Maduka Okoye! The guy has already made 5 mad saves only in the first 45 minutes. This guy is good.

Remove Okoye, Juventus would've been up by 5 goals in the first 45 minutes.

It's now 1-1 ooo

Take time ooo, Okoye no good ooo, my own is that let Nwabali finish the work he started, nobody should mention Okoye name there

Truidstarr:
Not his fault. Is it?

Leave them, they don't care whose fault it is, the had put him in mind to conceal already, as if Juva issa small team in Series A

Bossoflife25:
Pinnick is the biggest fraud in NFF history! Ole buruku. The reason he support this dull guy to be the new President. Cannot even stream matches played in Nigeria. Smh.

Bring facts, no be to dey Cho Cho Cho,
Bros bring facts

BascoVanVeli:
Have we needed a Japanese billionaire to bail us out under this current regime? Pinnick that had a warrant out for his arrest after the government caught him red handed. Let me hear word.

Wait, when was that and which competition, more over when did Pinnick became the NFF president

I need answers marvelous Basco sir

opes:

AFCON 2017......Nigeria did not qualify

Secondly where was Naija football as at that year 2015, and what Year did Pinnick emerge as NFF president


From 2019 till he leaves Office, we the Fans and yes you heard it from me, majority of us here are the cos why we failed to qualify for that worldcup,

Bring your facts let's dissolve it, step by step

humility33:
The fact that someone is from state with you or same tribe shouldn't make you jump to defend them whenever their names are been mentioned

That's how Nigeria got to this level. The conflicts between primordial sentiments and civic sentiments.

For your mind now you don talk something,
Drop facts that makes him my tribes Man, Else I go change am for you,

I don't want to shake these beautiful place, I honestly don't want to, but since you Sabi, drop the fact say Pinnick is my tribes Man,

TheSuperNerd:
Drop the name K.Nwakali for good or bad and Charlesemeka85 crawls out.

Drop Porto is bigger than Fulham, Komekn crawls out

Drop National football teams Jobs, Elyte89 and his ineffective lawyer crawl out.

Drop the name Amaju Pinnick and speak as his Voltron, and Humility33 crawls out.


The ways of this thread are not hard for he/she who pays keen attention.
