Na wa...

But you and I know that wasn't why Nigeria abstained in 1996.Abacha was only being vindictive.I hope you didn't forget Nigeria '95 that didn't hold?

You also forgot to tell us why Nigeria was allowed in Atlanta'96 and France '98.

Anyways, I'm just imagining if Russia was a black nation and this was done to them.I know say the "racism choir" would have released an album by now.

In 1996, the Nigerian government refused to to go to AFCON because of the racial discrimination against black South Africans, CAF a subsidiary of the FIFA franchise did not view it as a valid reason but went ahead to ban Nigeria from the 1998 edition.

FIFA has a policy; politics and football should not mix else you will get a fine maybe this only applies to certain people as everyone is watching FIFA. If these countries refuse to play against Russia and are not sanctioned, then FIFA has a lot of explaining to do

It is becoming clear and trust me what they just started they can’t finish

FIFA that will fine players for ANYTHING deemed political are now taking a political stance

Cos this time it’s a European country? Lol

Shebi una see the racism in international politics

Story!

If you like ban them with Bandits

But politics has no place in football now? But why not address the issue rather than all these unnecessary ban? I support China opinion on the issue. There is a reason for the invasion why not address it?

The war is now Russia against the world. How do Russia think they'll win this battle

The Whole of Europe depends on Russia for Oil.

So all these bans na initial gra gra...

Like Nicodemus, they will still crawl back at night to beg Russia for mercy, most especially when their citizens start protesting against rising gas prices.

FIFA with double standard. FIFA claimed sport is not be mixed with Politics but behaved differently when the so called west interest is affected.

This is the exact thing I have been wondering. In the past, it was work over and the country is sanctioned for disobeying. But here it is the reverse. And many of us don't even know the history and are just shouting.

Firstly I was thinking that Sanctions won't do much, but the way things are going Russians will feel ostracised & isolated leading to protest against it government in the long run.

if im putin i will nuke usa,britain,france,germany,italy and belgium west are evil people they are d aggressors

FIFA now taking political sides?
I bet they don't know they just started what they can't finish.

chatinent:
It's becoming unbecoming.

Dem never see anything.
This one go be WORLD BANISHING..
Make those E warriors of Putin wait for Free Visa.
By the time the world is done, Nigeria will start issuing GreenCards to Russians.
They will know Peace is priceless!
No one enjoys Isolation.
He invaded a Stable country in just a New Year.
An unprovoked Attack.
That's madness.
Who is he?

Typical of the whites..

Pastorsmile:
Putin has played into the hands of his enemies. What was he thinking?
That every one will hail him for invading an independent nation, killing everyone and seize it?

Played?
You think this invasion was planned last month?
He knew what he signed up for and prepared for it. Forget western propaganda and fake news flying up and down. That short man is full of surprises and sanctions won't stop him.

He should continue naaa.
He thinks others don't have NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
He should ask JAPAN how they got their Jumia package from America.
He shouldn't think a country that launched its own in the 1940s will lie stayput without improving. This is not Nigeria.

Bro putin won't go that far. Everyone's playing the waiting game amidst the sanctions. Whichever country that'll attack russia first, then 2022 don stew.
I don't blame putin, he's only after the interest of his country. Ukraine should back down from joining NATO. Dasall. Russia don't want any foreign bases in their space.

You are mistaken, this is not just politics, its a full blown war.

Since black lives matter, a lot of water goes under the bridge internationally. If you don't pander to the popular narrative politically, you must be cancelled. All you have to do is be a "minority"and anything evil you do will be called good.

The Russia stories are becoming many and losing value on the forum, though. Other content can be pushed apart from minority propaganda.

I Fear countries that do not show off theirs.
And USA is number one.
They test run theirs during the actual war.
During the second World War, Albert Einstein ran to America from Germany.
No be today USA begin steal brains.
They will vaporize Russia.
I pray it doesn't get to that.
The issue is that NO ONE advises PUTIN.
Even when they attempt, they lose their lives.

Why do you people refer to a full blown war as "politics".

You unpatriotic folks will always find a way of calling out your country and bringing it into every happenings around the world.

You are not the only one frustrated and depressed in his own country. Even in the most saner clime some still feel downcasted.
This your rhetoric will only expose your unhealthy state or condition.

Nigeria boycotted AFCON not because of the reason you gave now. It was Abacha's uselessness.

But our buhari mumu pass am..

Putin na mumu

Russia is greater than america + FIFA.

1. Nigeria 95 held and it was won by Cameroon
2. Atlanta 96 and France 98 were FIFA events not CAF. CAF can't ban you from FIFA events

Politics and football are very much linked. From hosting to venues.
A government interference in football management is a different matter.

Though, it is best Russia not be expelled.

Politics and football should not mix. This is wrong. FIFA is being biased.

This is actually tough for FIFA because or the first time a whole continent stands united against a country.. If FIFA decides to sanction those countries saying they won't play Russia, then it should be prepared to face a total UEFA buycott at the world cup.. Can you imagine a world cup without Europe that has about 16 representatives?

You are expressing an outdated view of FIFA here.
The BLM protests have obviously shown that FIFA now tolerates the "right" politics in football.

You're the unpatriotic one here for failing to call the bluffs of our failed leaders..
You're unpatriotic and a coward for failing to call truth truth because of myopic and maybe religious sentiment! Like i keep saying, wat is the result of al the senseless sanctions against Russia and China? What? What's the result? China is a world power now,Russia is bigger and more fearful dan before..so my patriotic friend, wats the effect of a dis sanctions you're so happy about? I pray Nigeria's get sanctions sef so we can dig deep away fro oil

Mynd44:

But FIFA oversees CAF and if FIFA is saying politics shouldn't mix with football, then they should have stood by CAF
