Nigerians and their hypocrisy, if this was in the north they would’ve been shouting persecution and Islamic agenda but alas na their person so the church can be bashed now 😂

BankyGee:
I'll be honored, but I'm not a quintessential headboy 😂😂😂

We can make you one or a contingency one for that matter if you’re interested

kingthreat:
Obi is too weak. You don't need to explain your actions to your supporters.

It’s a red flag not to be a strong leader with strong convictions

True leadership is doing what is right even when it’s unpopular. If you have to seek approval all the time for doing simple right things then it’s better you avoid leadership.

Tessyy1701:
Not a QUINTESSENTIAL number 9

Abi he’s a contingency number 9 Oga Joe where are you o 😜

Samueltemi337:
Victor Boniface involved in a terrible car accident

Thank God for safety, not funny at all.

lbrichman2:
That Osimhens bicycle kick goal has added €20M to his value
Napoli go dey happy like this, atleast they will get €75M for sure
Man is not just preserving his value, but increasing it
The decision to leave Napoli was spot on
5 games, 6 Goal involvements
Awesome!!

For as long he’s not injured dude will continue to shine no matter where he plays.

He’s a legit superstar no matter what anyone thinks

Sugarboyy:
I they watch the match
As I see Chukwueze scored, I come they check if my eyes nor they pain me.

This guy at Udinese, he has played all the Udinese matches I have watched this season and he has been awesome so far... Kingsley Ehizibue

Gernot Rohr invited him some years back I think

GMBOFASIA:
Tbh Boniface na baller sha I still wondering what happening to him in super eagles He scores week in week out in Bundesliga

Boniface and Lookman may need to lock themselves inside a room and have heart to heart talk!

JUST IN: Libyan Football Federation is panicking after being asked by CAF to submit documents relating to the cancellation of the AFCON qualifying Group D match against Nigeria

If it’s taking CAF this long to arrive at a conclusion you sure the matter go still get head so?

Odunayaw:
CAF is just a typical African government agency. Incompetent.

If they don’t deal with the Libyans I will loose interest in any future CAF organised tournaments cos it will surely happen again and many countries will start doing their own.

TheGoodJoe:
When you reach Nigeria, we will make you reject the bus we offer. You will trek to stadium.

I am done being peaceful. Full gear vawulence.

😂 wickedness pro max no mercy. Operation trek from ph to uyo.

TheGoodJoe:


What concern their father with Port Harcourt to Uyo flight ticket?

wetin concern agbero with overload or boarding pass

TheGoodJoe:

I try and try to leave Libya but they keep pulling me back.

There’s no contingency plan or charter flight to bring you back o just stay there. Better manage your data cos no wifi

TheGoodJoe:
I hope a lot of diplomatic processes takes place to quell the bad blood.

The Libyans feel hurt and in some way I sympathize with them.

I hope the NFF clears this and worked within International best practices with respect to handling foreign footballers.

If not, this incident should serve as a lesson.

same here am even shedding tears right now

Their father! 🖐️

Tessyy1701:
Looking at international best practices NFF needs to apologise to LFF for matreating their NT. The treatment is bad and nothing but bad or why will they be "checking" your visitor bags when he is not cool with it. SMH

Imagine the disrespect chai nff see your life?

TheGoodJoe:
You go no where.

CAF Announces Final Shortlist For Men’s Player Of The Year Award.

1. Ademola Lookman. 🇳🇬
Nigerian & Atalanta Attacker.

2. Victor Boniface. 🇳🇬
Nigeria & Bayern Leverkusen Striker.

3. Brahim Diaz. 🇲🇦
Moroccan & Real Madrid Playmaker.

Just saw this on Twitter. How true is this story?

I don't care anymore let them dash whoever. CAF has disappointed me endangering the lives of potential APOTY winners. Until Libya is severely punished, don't even give a damn about that organization no more.

TheGoodJoe:


I hope the bolded is true but feel there are still areas that needs cleaning.

I also believe such issues should not be easily moved on from because it could reoccur in some other way. Well point noted.

wahala dey o, you wan make us sleep tire on this Libya matter

Tessyy1701:
That is certain bro. Contemplating maybe we should be giving stipend to the visiting team

yes o including hazard allowance!

Tessyy1701:
Well said. I think going forward We should have a commitee headed by TheGoodJoe to be reaching out to people sourcing for fund so as this shameful act wont repeat itself.

Pls don’t forget to add that he should also mobilise traditional dancers to go and welcome visiting teams at the airport make we have peace of mind.

JohnBullMySon:
According to NFF, they were told Uyo. Which aligns with Libyas intent to arrive at Uyo.

This is how things should flow normally

Libya FA tells NFF of Uyo arrival

NFF tells Customs, Immigration, DSS to make arrangements

Customs, Immigration, DSS tell NCAA to approve permit

somewhere in the bolded something went wrong

I see what you’re trying to do to absolve the Libyans of their travel plan into Nigeria.

The fact that previous visiting teams including from Libya had landed in Uyo safely before presupposes that the nff can never intentionally maltreat the team and it’s unfair for anyone to continue to accuse the nff of whatever befell the Libyans in Nigeria. Whatever went wrong, let the pilot who flew the Libyans into Nigeria also narrate his story. If not the Libyans have no case.

MrSamsung:
Leave that Uyo is not an international airport crap, ok.
Ghanaians have landed there, Benin Republic players have landed there, South Africans have landed there, international football clubs have landed there, even this Libya has been there before, the airport even has straight landing routes and right to Accra and Banjul.

Even if it were not international, can Nigeria not give Libya landing clearance to Uyo just to make it closer and easier for them? And Nigeria did!
Also going by your 'not international Airport' analogy, the dead airport that the Libyans re-routed Nigeria to is it international?

Just leave them with their dirty work on trying to blame the nff for the mishap in Libya. It’s indeed a shame

JohnBullMySon:
This issue can be narrowed down to three root causes

1. The Libyan team did not know that flying to Uyo would require special clearances and thus did not make any enquiries for that

2. NFF failed to ensure that the Libyan team would get clearance to land in Uyo

3. Both happened together.

Well done 👏 spokesmen for the Libyan defence team. Kudos

JohnBullMySon:
Are you saying that NFF did not know the time they were arriving cos I read somewhere here that NFF officials were at Uyo Airport?

That means the nff was in the dark about their arrival, remember they were mid air when it was gathered they were landing in ph

JohnBullMySon:
CAF Date and venue of the match has been public info for months now. What schedule does NFF need to be informed about?

Arrival schedule of the Libyans is that difficult to understand here?

JohnBullMySon:
NCAA gives two types of permit to non-scheduled flights arriving to or transiting through Nigeria. First is the overflight permit, second is the landing permit. Now for a non-scheduled flight to land in Nigeria, there are five options, Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, PH and Kano. These are the five designated points of entry aka Int'l airports approved with full services in Nigeria.

Now if for some reason you have to land at some other place besides these points of entry, you will have to get a special permit from NCAA. Before NCAA can give you that permit, you will have to write to federal agencies specifically, Immigration Service, Customs and DSS. These agencies will give you approval and confirm to NCAA that they will provide the required clearances and checks needed once you arrive. If that approval is not gotten, NCAA will not approve the request. (side note: Keyamo once noted that some people in government have been abusing this process cos this is Naija na).

Now back to the NFF story. If the charter airline that flew the libyan team could not secure a landing permit for Uyo from NCAA, it means that whoever was responsible to make those arrangements ahead of time. Simply failed to do it

Is that not why the Libya FA should have informed the nff of their schedule way ahead of time to get the landing permit for uyo ? You have finally indicted the Libyan delegation

lbrichman2:
Its merely a tame attempt at cover face
He's beginning to realize how ridiculous he's been all this while, so he dey try do clean up lowkey

And some of us are just enjoying the season film e go explain tire about contingency, protocol and charter, our new vocabs here in addition to quintessential 😂

Tessyy1701:
You are right, this insensitivity from NFF must stop. Henceforth money should be set aside for visiting team for their flight or We send a jet to convey them two days to match day.

I will even suggest a jet from the presidential fleet sef, make we pepper dem gang.

Their father!

Odunayaw:
I gasped when he started insinuating NFF and/or state governments should have foot the bill of the Libyan team from PH

Further slapping "stranded" on a people who instead of directly flying to Uyo, went to PH

Man

Na yeye sentiments and emotions

TheGoodJoe:

I don't care about emotions. I want things done right. I have never been a pleaser of persons but a pleaser for truth and right actions.

As far as I am concerned, the NFF let us down. Those guys were stranded. They likely had issues even flying out. We should have just helped them.

The NFF must review this and update their action plan when it comes to hosting teams for matches.

If they are stranded, helped them out. This should be included in the budget. There should be contingency money. If the team is stranded in Nigeria for a game, help them out.

There’s no Us here, Nff didn’t let anyone down and there can be no budget for con-men. Contingencies are for our National team. What we owe visiting teams are acommodation and logistics when they arrive where they are supposed to, if they go and land in sambisa they should cry out to their own govt to bail them out like we did in Libya with our own government.

You’re indeed emotional, period. If you have friends that are Libyans tell them to change from their evil days as we are no longer in the Stone Age.

TheGoodJoe:
Amazing. I wonder where you got that from.

This is how I started. I am just calling for a more professional touch in handling certain issues like this. Not absolving the Libyans in anyway.

We have no antecedents of being hostile to visiting teams. You just went on and on with all manner of conspiracy theories. Any Libyan on this thread will be so happy with you. Thanks for being their senior advocate. Remember to collect your fees sha.

TheGoodJoe:
Preparation procedure.

So what happened in both Nigeria and Libya, we are responsible for it. The Libyans had no responsibility. Well done 👏
