Berti Vogts wants Fifa action over Nigeria unpaid wages

Coach Berti Vogts has returned to Fifa to ask the governing body to act on Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)'s refusal to pay monies owed him.

Despite the claim by the former Eagles coach, NFF boss Sani Lulu insists the issue was resolved two days ago.

Fifa ordered the NFF to pay the German an undisclosed amount four months ago as his unpaid wages during his stint as Nigeria coach.

With the 30-day deadline elapsing by over eight weeks the NFF has still not paid the amount due Vogts, his lawyer Stefan von Moers claimed.

The dispute now looks set to rumble on with Vogts taking the Nigerians to Fifa's disciplinary committee to take action.

"We have no option but to return to Fifa to ask the disciplinary committee to act on the Nigerian FA's refusal to pay up," Moers told BBC Sport.

"Fifa ruled in our favour way back in December and its now eight weeks since that ruling and we have heard nothing from the Nigerians."

Even though Moers claims that the money has not been paid, Lulu is confident the NFF will not be trouble with Fifa's disciplinary committee.

He says the stand-off arose because they got the wrong account details of the German which led to the delay in payment.

"I don't think we are in trouble with Fifa. The issue was solved two days ago so when the coach checks his account he will see the money," Lulu told BBC Sport.

"The initial account number we had for Vogts was wrong and it took some time for the bankers to get back to us as it a foreign transaction.

"We got the correct bank account two days ago and we have sent the money to his account so there should be no problems."

Fifa confirmed that they ruled in favour of Vogts after he reported the NFF for ending his con tract early without paying him off.

The German was fired after the Super Eagles dismal showing at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations with three months left on his contract.

"We can confirm that based on a claim from the German coach Berti Vogts against the Nigeria Football Federation, the Single Judge of the FIFA Players' Status Committee passed a decision in the matter on 10 December 2009," a Fifa spokesman told BBC Sport.

"The findings of the decision were formally notified to the parties on 16 December 2009.

"An amount corresponding to certain unpaid wages was awarded to the coach."

Vogts, who is the current coach of Azerbaijan, led his native Germany to the European title in 1996.

Maybe Nigerians should try and stay away from crime in the first place
that why it will not be an issue, I do agree why should honest tax payer pay for the yahoo boys here send them home so they can taste what crime really does
makes one regret committing the crime in the first place.

If an ex-minster is saying that one man shocked them,then i guess it is ok and acceptable but what about them, the entire minsters (FEC) who shocked over 140 million nigerians when they passed a vote of confidence in an already dead Yar'adua claiming he was not incapacitated.

Especially if you knew him before he became a "Big Boy", and when u re nice and supported him when he was down, most times they do all thier gra gra and come back, sometimes they are lucky, sometimes you have moved on, some will even want to take u out of your husbands house.

Takes Nigeria to the last on the list of developed Nation

Nigeria should be divided into two nations to avoid further bloodshed between Muslims and Christians, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has said.

In a speech to students, he praised the example of India and Pakistan, where he said partition saved many lives.

Splitting Nigeria "would stop the bloodshed and burning of places of worship," state news agency Jana quoted him as saying.

A senior Nigerian diplomat said he did not take the suggestion seriously.

Hundreds of people have died in communal violence in villages around the central Nigerian city of Jos this year.

'Historic, radical solution'

Although the violence generally takes place between Muslim and Christian communities, the underlying causes are a complex mix of political, social and economic grievances.

Nigeria is roughly split between its largely Muslim north, and a Christian-dominated south.

Mr Gaddafi, until recently head of the African Union, characterised the Jos violence as a "deep conflict of religious nature" caused by the federal state, "which was made and imposed by the British in spite of the people's resistance to it".

He described the partition of India as a "historic, radical solution" which saved the lives of "millions of Hindus and Muslims".

Splitting India in 1947 caused a breakdown of law and order in which at least 200,000 people died. Some estimates say one million people were killed.

About 12 million people were left homeless and thousands were raped.

An attempt by the Igbo people of south-eastern Nigeria to secede in 1967 sparked a war which left more than one million people dead.

haba Mr Cartha,give the young man a break, he is just voicing his thoughts, anyway like I said, I dont think the leaders of today can do anything more than they have already done cos they are a recycled fools who hang or wanna hang unto power like Mogabe,for starters we dont even have anough police to police the state and the few ones we have we all know what thye do, the are more intrested in howmuch bribe money they can get per seconds.

From the look of things,

Sensible people can easily depict that this movie is fictional,

As its genre implies "Sci-Fi"!

So, ol boy,

How far?!

sulad82i:
I second that. Its a new development really. I guess 9ja arm robbers need to patent that lol
But on a more serious note, this country is just getting bad and badder. I was considering relocating to Nigeria after I finish school but I guess I'll stay in America until those fukking leaders of our do something
