Nigeria is notorious for quantity, not quality.

Besides, CAF wants coaches that cannot be compromised easily.

Like the one that ended a football match before the mandatory 90mins mark.

When last have you watched the Nigerian league ?

Give some examples of bad officiating and let's compare it with what the English refs do week in week out.

Meanwhile, I'm not saying there's no corruption in Nigeria's league as well as some other leagues, it's abound of course !

But what I'm saying is that you should stick to the topic.

CAF didn't say corruption is the reason Nigerian refs are not been used, period!!!


Say no more!

INEC and its immediate past chairman are very good examples.

The comment section is a shame. Nigerians are not more corrupt than an average African. And they got referees from countries that don't even have functioning local leagues - if Nigerian referees ain't the best, there are Nigerian referees better than those called up for the tournament.

This is simply discrimination and they're following up on the precedent set by a certain anti Nigerian CAF president

Giant for nothing. Even the last time Nigeria hosted the CAF African Cup of Nations in 2016, they had to merge them with Ghana as a co-host, which was also the last time Nigeria referee ever used in the tournament.

This tells you a lot about the rate of decline of this country over the decades since independence. This is the same tournament that Nigeria singlehandedly hosted and won in 1980.

Nigeria will never do well in anything if we keep appointing people base on tribe or religion.Merrit has always been the reason for hard work and hard work brings excellent.We are too much in love with money and this is making us to do anything because of money even if it will destroy our nation.Our leaders should lead by example.Look at the npf president, the kind of wealth he acquired just been in the sports administration for years as if he is a politician because politicians are the only people who can become billionaire overnight.

Did you read any allegation about corruption against Nigerian referees from CAF in the write up?
Why do you people always like to paint your country black ?

This is a simple explanation on how Nigerian refs need to be committed to the CAF grade annually training, boom you have turned it to a case of corruption!

Why are we like this?

Who cursed you people with this kind of shameless and destructive attitude

CAF never complained about how corrupt Nigerian refs are, they only encourage them to upgrade themselves by attending CAF training for the refs, you people have started calling them all manner of dirty names, Nna Nigerians get big problem oh !


Super eagles played they won, you said no they didn't deserve the victory bcs they no play sexy football, they played sexy football and lost, you will curse them and families to the highest heaven.

Pls what do you people really want

A team throwing away one on one scoring chances

They are unable to score from open play.

Let's see how it goes.

He can't publicly say they are corrupt.

Training in the public sector in Nigeria depends on how close you are to the approving officer. Has nothing to do with your job description.

If you research this guy very well, he is a Fulani or someone from Northern Nigeria. They are always the people trying to cover up or give excuse for corruption in this country just to keep Nigeria going the way it is.

Mr/Miss 'non naive', take your time to read the post and you'd see what the Nigerian Refs need to do to be selected. The post wasn't written in parables that would need your interpretation.

Encouraging you to upgrade is indirectly telling you to desist from you corruption ways..there are subtle ways to pass a message without making it glaring

As usual. The herd minded one dimensional thinking slow heads are out in their droves spilling their half witted guts. Have we had a Nigerian referee caught fixing or throwing a match in any of the CAF organised competitions? All those years Nigerian officials were active in the Afcon, how many poor and controversial officiating was ascribed to them? It is one thing to be angry that the country is facing challenges but that is not enough to lose all sense of reason and rationality. I have seen atrocious officiating many times in several Afcons past and the officials were not Nigerians. Not even one. Stupid talk everywhere.

To upgrade from B to A can mean you can be trusted... The man is being professional... You don't expect him to say Nigeria referees are corrupt.
