The Goodjoe I'm really surprised you are defending that man's unruly behavior against the ladies. The SF are reppin NIGERIA. Not buhari not APC not Atiku not PDP. These ladies have not made any political statement in any way shape or form supporting this govt so was the cowardly action of targeting them. Does the man know whether some of the girls even voted against PMB in the last election? No what is wrong is wrong.

Tons of our footballers especially the male ones take pictures with this same bad politicians but I don't see anyone going to harass them but when it's the women who are minding their business and playing football for the nation everyone suddenly remembers things in the country are bad please!

Buhari will be gone in the next two years so until he goes let's stop Nigeria from participating in international competitions like world cups and Olympic tournaments. Maybe that will stop terrorism, provide electricity and end kidnapping not voting right leaders, holding elected(selected?) officials to account and doing your own Little bit to improve the country.

if Nigerian sportsmen and women were not harassed during the horrible days of the Abacha dictatorship then nobody should justify innocent players getting disturbed by people who don't know where to Channel their grievances. This is why they say politics and sports should never mix.

My passport is a symbol of the state of Nigeria, so if I use it does it mean I'm endorsing buhari? If they win and buhari wants to meet anyone who have issues with buhari can opt out

TheGoodJoe:


I will repeat again. The man is educating us, letting us know that playing or participating in sporting programs during this time is supporting the government.

Keep in mind, educating.

So telling us in the past, no one complained means that you are missing the context. He wants those ladies and also the men to keep that in mind. That they are supporting the government without realizing it.

No need waving the gender card to spur sentiments. Stick to the point the man raised.

You might disagree with his notion. However, from listening attentively to him, Nigerian youths should not support this government in any shape and manner. This includes, playing for Nigeria.

My Guy it's not about how easy or difficult it is to run an organisation I'm just saying the girls ought to have been protected better from that disturbed individual. The male footballers I'm sure go around with better security how much more our female players who even need it more. Just all I was highlighting

TheGoodJoe:


Your passport shows where you are from. However, the man is not just against playing for Nigeria. But, someway, showing your disapproval.

He said, this is my way of doing something.

However, acting like all is well is wrong because all is not well. The country is bleeding.

If pulling out of playing is a statement, they have done something.

chrisooblog:
he's not educating anything or anybody. If you wants to exact real change he should go to the Nigerian embassy lodges his complaint or protest not be forming voltron against innocent women. Like some people have educated you Nigeria has had bad governance for so long so using an excuse of today's bad governance won't fly. People like Gani fawehinmi during the days of abacha didn't harass our sportsmen but directed his energy through the right quarters to try and change the status quo. Like somebody rightly said if you insist that you represent this government please throw away your passport and refuse to go anywhere under the name Nigeria after all you are representing buhari and his government

chrisooblog:
you keep saying pretending all is well how have the girls display that? By showing up to play football and enjoy each other's company?

fabyom:
Watch the video from start. The guy said he wanted to address them. The officials thought maybe he had something important to tell the girls as a Nigerian that was why he was allowed in. Even the girls had to stop what they were doing in order to listen to him, not knowing he is a mad man. The law over there does not allow for forceful removal except you are an officer of the law. It was sudden and unexpected.

I pray for you to find peace. So much hate in your heart.
The resources you are talking about na you put am there.
The resources belong to God therefore the resources belong to humanity (everyone).
You can nag from now till eternity Nigeria will stand.
The only people that will pay the ultimate prize are those praying for its downfall either from the North or the South!
Nobody will fight any civil war for one imaginary country. That time has passed.
You challenge the sovereignty of a nation you collect. Simple as ABC.

kingphilip:

Hope are acting that all is all?

Hope you carry long face around your neighborhood and everywhere you go to show that all is not well in Nigeria going forward since the man has taught you that to show your grievances you shouldn't be seen smiling at all.

TheGoodJoe:


That is the man's point. He is giving us his view as a former footballer. We should sit down and reflect on his point. To an extent, I agree with his point. All is not well.

JohnBullMySon:
Uganda, South Africa, Egypt, India have all faced internal issues. Have you ever heard that their players pulled out from a major competition?

Syria has been fighting a civil war since, and their president is very rogue. However they have an active national team playing ever since. They almost qualifed for the 2018 World Cup.

I don't know how many times you need to hear this, but they are not playing for Buhari. Nigeria will remain even when we both are dead. Infact, pulling out for such a reason could attract a FIFA ban.

codemaniacs:


I don't know what news you guys are but all is well in most parts of Nigeria...

do you want Nigeria to become another li:bya run by gangs and warlords.

Odunayaw:
I buy from discountdata.ng

TheGoodJoe:


For Christ sake, that man just went viral and I can bet, every Nigerian sports person, whether a journalist, basketballer, footballer, blogger etc. watched that video and got some strong messages.

Believe it or not, agree it or not, that man screamed very loud and many heard him.

He contributed someway.

humility33:


Bro...you live in the USA
With the way this man is ruling, come 2023 Nigerians go to elect someone like him again this country may not survive in all honesty

The hardship,injustice and impunity is getting too much

I remember how saro wiwa and co seeked for just means for the government to compensate and clean ogoni land but instead abacha crucified them and few years after militancy erupts even though Obj try quench them at Odi but none, I repeat not a single militants was killed and that birth the era of the niger delta warlords like tomopolo, asari, ateke tom,Okah etc they brought the nigeria economy on it's knees that the government had to negotiate for peace

Nigeria is a fragile state a very fragile state that breeds warlords and warmongers because its laws and statutes are objects of scorn and derision

Any little unrest can unsettle the state,the way the government handles the current agitators like NK and Sunday will go a long way in securing Nigeria survival the root cause for thia secessionist quest should be addressed because killing this men may lead to more violent struggles in the future and trust me nigeria may not survive it

chrisooblog:
My Guy it's very simple stop coming here to contribute 2 topics about the super Eagles. Wait until buhari stops being president after all the super Eagles represent his government that's the best way to show your displeasure and that everything is not well.

TheGoodJoe:


Honestly, it crossed my mind. Maybe, I stick to just following players of Nigerian origin and leave the whole Super Eagles thing too. Seriously, it did.

TheGoodJoe:


Because all is well in your city, does not mean all is well in Nigeria. If you value a life in this country, then a shiver will run down your nerves when you notice the hundreds losing their lives and living in fear.

chrisooblog:
honestly if that's how you really feel then you should do it since you feel that's the best way to register your displeasure. For me I feel there are other ways to change bad governance

codemaniacs:


if the people who are losing their lives and living in fear value a life then they should also at:tack the people that are k:illing them.

the killings started from when f:ulanis were welcomed by the h:ausas with the approval of their e:uropean masters..

the br:itish used h:ausas and f:ulanis militants to carry out attacks, ra:pes, burning down of communities other ethnic nations that didn't agree with the br:itish from the early 1800s till 1914 and the h:ausas and f:ulanis militants was converted to what is now the Ni:gerian P:olice Fo:rce and mil:itary..

the kill:ings didn't start in 2021, you just hear of it more because of technology..

Tessyy1701:


How trustworthy and fast are this people?

kingphilip:
Aside the fact that I just remembered them preparing for the Aisha Buhari invitational tournament, I don't see any reason why the man will feel they are supporting the government.

Another issue I had him say was that over 10 million Nigerian youths are unemployed outside Nigeria. I now wonder what those 10 million youths are still doing there instead of coming back home to better their lives by voting in someone who is capable of turning their fortunes around through good policies.

He is even paying his tax over there too. He should come back here, invest and pay his tax here too to help improve things sha.

For the man not to differentiate between the Super Eagles and Super Falcons shows that him no well at all.
