Fifa is not suppose to the interfering in politics, how come FIFA didn't ban Israel for bombing Palestinians and other Arab countries. NATO went to Libya to bomb and destroy that country but FIFA kept mute.

you guys are just kids who knows nothing! Russian committed terrible atrosities against ucrainians without any provocation yet went ahead to be threatening world's peace with nuclear attack, you are here comparing.
So, what about the atrocities of the United States, from dumping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, illegally invading Vietnam, Iraq, and many others?

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
Try getting your facts right. Mandela was the president of SA that period so racial discrimination is out of it.
Mandela initially prevented a popular Nigerian model from flying back to Nigeria after a competition and had plans of holding super eagles hostage un South Africa 96 CAN (not a harsh one) to put pressure on Abacha to release MKO and somewhat punish him for the execution of Ogoni 8

Says who. You think they didn't consider that before placing the ban. The must have found safer route so chill. The EU as a whole is made up of many heads which are better than your one head so chill.

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
Oga Nigeria did not go to south Africa 96 because of the diplomatic row between the two countries over the killing of Ken Saro Wiwa and others by Abacha junta.

even though there is bias in FIFA, u can't compare the both scenerios
If something isn't done now, it will lead to a world war.

Abeg, I fit survive discrimination but not a war, I have survive ipob hatred but stand against a civil war

Ukraine, even in war, still has power, no queue at the fuel stations. There is still water running and their president is in Ukraine.
Now, compare to Nigeria that is not at war, where is PMB at the monent?
If you can gladly collect a free visa to Ukraine at the Moment.

Then I would say Ukraine is currently better than Nigeria, otherwise Nigeria is better.

No one desires to be in a War Zone, Forget about the basic/secondary amenities of life because just one hit by a stray bullet you won't live to enjoy those amenities and facilities.

To those saying it is just politics, it isnt. It is peoples lives so the ban is justifiable.

Who told you this crap, and who are the 137 idio.ts that upvoted your nonsensical statement? Mandela was president of South Africa in 1996, you this pathetic brain dead clown. Abacha killed Saro Wiwa which South Africa frowned upon so Abacha pulled Super Eagles out of AFCON because Mandella said it was injustice. Don't you have elders in your family to ask them questions before you start posting nonsense online? TOO MANY FOOOLISH PEOPLE ON NAIRALAND, ARE MOST OF YOU 12YRS OLD? Even if you're teenagers she you no get brain to do your own research on the Internet?

Putin is more scared that Russians are not having enough sex than expelling them from FIFA, All this sanctions are just pawns falling on Putin's Chess Board.
I shit you not, 80 percent Russians are behind him and Putin does not make empty threat.
If anybody put in body, they go collect.
[/s]All these kids on NL, supporting Putin and regurgitating right wing propaganda, I have a question for you all. If what Putin is doing is so great why are RUSSIANS protesting against him? You do no research, you read nothing without an emoji yet you want to come to a public forum and be proud of your ignorance. I guess most of you surporting Putin are rational and illogical. Most likely headslammers or a member of APC.

Russia can never use a nuclear weapon on country she shares border with. Any nuclear attack on Ukraine will extend to Russia herself. Do you think nuclear weapon is like AK47 which you can Just trigger like that? Only one country in history has been able to use nuclear weapon in a war and that's over 76 years ago, with China millitary capability,why dem never nuke Taiwan, why NK never invade South Korea? The reality is, Russia is building a nuclear weapon she won't be able to use.I laugh at Most of you sha.

The tactics is provocation, so that the west and NATO can join them fight and if eventually successful, then they can unleash their plans. They have other destructive weapons other than Satan as well

Russia is overrated, this is 21st century, you don't need tanks to become stronger and feared. Most of those weapons will never see real life action, who will Russia Nuke? America? France? UK? Germany? These countries are fighting Russia without firing a gunshot. Don't you find that funny. You think China will Nuke America for the sake of Russia? grin grin grin angry
China is trying to enter into European market and full blown war is the last thing on their mind.
America become World Power not only because of her millitary capability but economy side too. Russia and Putin should understand that.

The Corona virus was a biological weapon which didn't work. Power did not change hand, now they try to change tactics by provocation maybe this too will work but these more dangerous than the forma. Who knows what is coming next?
All this is to gain the new order and control the world at will .... Let's see as event unfold

all odds are against Russia right now, she can't afford to fight 6 powerful countries at the same time and win. They Will cripple her economy. Putin has so far attack on Ukraine and sanctions dey flow, what happens if he comes at countries like France, Germany,US? Bros, Russia will seize to exist just like NK.
