How somebody finds it interesting to be arguing from page to page and still doesn't see the error of his ways is kinda baffling. Now you see why I asked the marriage status thing. TheGoodJoe must always win arguments. The shalaye continues. Las las, man city will resume EPL games this weekend.

Emmy450:
I just played the scenario in my Head, and I'm like ah!!!!, how have the mighty fallen and shook my head in disgust for Nigeria..

zicky:
we go tell the world say US 🇺🇸 first do us, they left us stranded by refusing to pay our team flight from Washington to new York 😂

TheSuperNerd:
Game Over! Champions Rangers fall at home 3-4 vs Kano Pillars.

What a big win for Kano Pillars in Enugu.

TheSuperNerd:
No. It is assumptive of us. The Goodjoe says it is "assumptions of the Libyans trying to trick us." This is the most ridiculous of posts on this.



He himself condemned it oooo right here above with his own words.. but now he turns around and calls it assumptions. TheGoodJoe, take a rest. It is official you are just saying two things now.

TheGoodJoe:
From the first post I made on this, it was a call for clarification. The only thing we are working with is what the NFF told us. What we have on the experience of our players is concrete, especially the footage from Ola Aina. The interview of the pilot.

I am saying there should be clarification on why we could not assist in conveying the Libyans from Port Harcourt to Uyo when it became clear they were stranded.

You see the bolded, I doubt anyone has cleared that. All we are working with are assumptions.

There is no exoneration of the Libyans in anyway. Why couldn't we assist with Charter. Either a plane or buses.

If the NFF said the Libyans rejected the buses. They should clarify further. Is it because of cost they were to pay?

When it was obvious they were stranded, why could we not help with Charter.

We have addressed it but you are the only one refusing to acknowledge it.

I read through thegoodjoe comments on Libya Nigeria issue and was wowed Nigerian never disappoint with our over sabi……did you see any Libyan trying to give balance argument?NO but total support to their team but here we are seeing people trying to tell us where we got it wrong when it was obvious Libya team right from Nigeria are up to something and it played out…..well I will not be surprised seeing Nigerians writing letters to CAF that will caused it.

Tessyy1701:
Spewing t***sh in the name of being objective. Lol.

Mujtahida:
Nobody rejoice pass Tanimu whenever we score 🤣🤣🤣

TheGoodJoe:
Debate points. Not assumptions.

TheGoodJoe:
Can you briefly summarize why. Let me know what I missed.

TheGoodJoe:
There are points raised. Explain how they are thrash.

I am not trying to be objective. I want to know why we could not offer logistics support to convey the Libyans to Uyo when we knew the Libyans were stranded at Port Harcourt. The point is so simple.

The opportunities missed for not having this game televised though

BREAKING!!!

Nigeria did not Apologize to Libya over Super Eagles detention fiasco - Tuggar

On October 15, 2024, the Libya Observer published an erroneous report to gain political leverage and cause disaffection amongst continental football administrators and fans.

The publication by the Libya Observer, which misrepresents the phone correspondence between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and the East-based Government’s Foreign Minister, is a clear case of misinformation.

The fact of the matter was that the CDA of the Government of National Unity was summoned to the Ministry to seek an immediate end to the unfortunate incident.

However, not much diplomatic headway was made during the meeting with the Acting Charge of Affairs, Imad Mohammed Matooq Aboud, as they insisted that it was not under the jurisdiction of Tripoli, which they represented, but that of the Eastern Government in Benghazi.

This prompted the Minister to take immediate action by contacting the Foreign Minister of the Eastern Government, Abdelhadi Lahweej, to intervene and ensure that the detention ended.

After that, the aircraft was given the necessary permits to fly, and aviation fuel was accessed. Both Ministers agreed that the matter should be de-escalated immediately. Even when Lahweej insisted on rehashing the untruth about the treatment of Libyan players in Nigeria, Amb Tuggar once again corrected the misinformation about the mistreatment of Libyan players during the Nigerian encounter.

He did not apologise or regret the treatment of Libyan officials and players because the account was inaccurate.

Lahweej proposed a joint statement, which the Ministry rejected because it erroneously misrepresented the facts of the incident.

Above all, the federal government of Nigeria only shares a diplomatic relationship with the government of the National Accord and not with the Eastern government.

Nigeria remains unequivocal in expressing its displeasure and disappointment with how the Nigerian Football Federation officials were treated in Libya.

It calls on the Confederation of African Football to urgently ensure that its Disciplinary Board investigates the matter and imposes appropriate sanctions based on its statutes.

If I am coming to your house and I hide my trip plans from you and in the process I get stranded without having good communication with you except the first notice indicating that I am coming, abeg is it your fault?

Point out the lapses on your part that led to my being stranded?

With this, I am done.

Sugarboyy:
Those that said the FG, through the foreign ministry did nothing should read this.
I won't be surprised that the SE team were later released by their abductors because of the foreign ministry intervention.

Its so simple. I think Alhaji Gusau NFF should be sacked, they didnt received Libya well. We ought to pay for their flight from PH to Uyo since We knew they cant pay for the flight.

I hope the minister of sport will sack them Asap

The USMNT comes into Nigeria to play a match, we reroute them to Maiduguri and lock the team with the USSF president and the deputy governor of Alabama in the airport for 15 hours. Also frustrate staffs of the Department of State trying to reach them.

Think on that scenario and imagine the response of the US.

make una de deceive unasef with this faux cool heads mantra

Sack the NFF chairman and get FIFA hammer

No matter how incompetent those lots are you can't sack them their immunity comes from FIFA Clause of no government interference in football matters but government funds can interfere

TheSuperNerd:
This is a bait to repeat all that have been said before now. I will not take that bait. Different people have addressed it and even summarized it, yet you still can't see it. I guess you only see what you want to see.
