The Libyans have behaved like true bandit. They are psychologically recuperating from the endless wars and banditry they have been subjected to by the Americans. Banditry is still in their blood.

Clearly this is an act of revenge. The way the LFF keeps hammering on how they were treated in Port Harcourt tells a lot about revenge. It's unfortunate really. What happened to them in Nigeria wasn't deliberate. Now they will pay the high price of revenge.
Exactly!! They keep making reference to their experience in Nigeria rather than give verifiable reasons why the flight was diverted and the team locked up. If they were maltreated in Nigeria, the right thing to do was file complaint to CAF, besides Nigeria doesn't have the history of maltreating any opponent but that same Libya does.

Interesting!

One thing is certain: if Libya is not sanctioned with a heavy fine and a ban for a couple of games, CAF will endorse this issue, and African tactics will prevail. It will come to the point where African games will be ridiculed. Certainly, Libyans must pay dearly.

The other issue is whether Nigeria is found guilty of the Libyan complaint. If that is the case, Nigeria will have to face the consequences. My opinion is that if both are guilty, the depth of wickedness of the two parties should be used to punish them. So Libya should be aware that they are in for it. And Nigeria should be prepared to defend itself in order to avoid a severe or no penalty, as Libya would have. That's it.

Libya, in my opinion, should be kicked out of the qualification process completely. I would not even ask for Nigeria to be awarded three points, but rather to be kicked out and possibly banned for up to five years from participating in the tournament. Then, I would look into Nigeria too. If this is not done, African football will die.
We didn't treat them well when they came to Nigeria. Kept them on a bus trip that was harassed regularly by touts and police.

NFF is just useless. No be dem suppose first complain to CAF officially? Now dem don give stupid country mouth to dey sue them grin
Pls always try to read.

“The Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) has been in contact with the Libyan and Nigerian authorities after it had been informed that the Nigerian National Football Team (‘’Super Eagles’’) and their technical team were stranded in disturbing conditions for several hours at an airport that they were allegedly instructed to land by the Libyan authorities.

“The matter has been referred to the CAF Disciplinary Board for investigation, and appropriate action will be taken against those who violated the CAF Statutes and Regulations,” the CAF statement read.

It's obvious that the treatment meted on S/Eagles by Libya was deliberate.
Even if they were bitter about what happened in Nigeria, they should have filed a complaint rather than resort to taking Laws into their hands.

Going forward, both sides should be appropriately sanctioned & a replay organised on a neutral venue.
I prefer direct revenge. Nigeria got served. Shameless country.
Re: Libyan FA Threatens Legal Action Against Nigeria For AFCON Match Boycott by RZArecta(m): 8:36am On Oct 16, 2024
The föolish Libyan FA seems to have learned extreme stupîdity from Nigerian APC politicians because what they hell is this one again ? If CAF is a serious entity, they'll award three points and three goals to the Eagles fast rather than postpone the match

D only place Libya is better than Nigeria is their unquestioned unity… imagine an entire country united to perpetrate a crime and there’s no
Asslickers and O-Mokri or one Deju or one investigative woke claiming Tits to rat the nation. I must applaud their unity
a country that has 3 different heads of state is united

Moors. Tuaregs. Racist.
With the stories i've heard about these people, Libya ranks among the top two countries I never want to set foot on in my life.
Animals as far as am concerned.
Their most enlightened citizen - Gaddafi, they butchered him.
Re: Libyan FA Threatens Legal Action Against Nigeria For AFCON Match Boycott by ogaemma: 8:43am On Oct 16, 2024
I still insist that I blame CAF.
CAF is like house boy's to some of the Rice Arab countries in North Africa.
This is not the first time Libya is giving I'll treatment to their host football team, both at National team level and club level.
Rwanda also had a very bitter and painful experience when their National team went to Libya.
Libya is not a football nation, they are just spoilers.
They know that they have nothing to lose.

nobody maltreated them in Nigeria, do your research. They diverted their own flight from uyo to Ph without informing the NFF. Nigeria then looked for every possible means to get Uyo to to resume operations that night just so the Libyans can land their chartered flight there but they refused, choosing instead to go by road. They refused every help Nigeria offered even bus so what else did you expect Nigeria to do ? They're obviously afraid of the Eagles and that's why they did what they did, expecting Nigeria to forfeit while they get three points and three goals but it seems to have backfired hence their threat of a court case. I dare them to head to the Court of Arbitration for sports, let's see how many years ban they'll chop especially with obvious government interference as evidenced by the high level authority needed to divert a flight to another airport. This is a serious diplomatic breach yet we keep using our local tit for that mentality to look at the case. Let them go to court first

In summary they held our national team and officials against their will,denying them access to basic necessities they would require before their match.

That sounds like outright kidnap of Nigerias National team.. they (libya) should go to court,they are learners,Nigeria will floor them well

Nigeria should please not send civil servant lawyers but a competent legal team,this should be interesting,

Nigeria may be sanctioned for failing to honour the match. In hindsight it appears as though the boys overreacted by refusing to go ahead with the match cry

LFF threatens legal action against Nigeria inspite of the ill treatment meted out to the Super Eagles?



Adding insult to injury?




Ok, let's see Libya in court!



After all, "go to court!" is a familiar phrase in Nigeria.




Anuofia!
