Rest in power to a national team legend. Vincent enyeama remains the best goalkeeper of all time. Recall vividly as a chap seeing Peter Rufai conceded cheap goals against Denmark at France 1998 World Cup
Just like how some rate Yakubu Ayegbeni based only that miss at the 2010 World Cup.

Yes, I agree that Enyeama was better than Rufai, but Rufai was our King in-between the sticks from the mid 80s to 1994. He was only recalled from retirement at the late hour, for that 1998 World Cup.

Prominent FIFA-licensed football agent John Shittu has issued a formal legal demand to former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia, seeking a full retraction and apology over alleged defamatory statements made against him about Nigeria’s 2008 Olympic football campaign.


Shittu’s legal team is demanding:

1. A full and unreserved retraction of the alleged statement on Sahara Reporters, Soccernet.ng, and all other platforms that published it;

2. Publication of the retraction in at least two widely circulated national newspapers, including The Punch and This Day;

3. A formal, written apology addressed to Mr. Shittu and published on all aforementioned platforms;

4. A written undertaking not to issue or publish any similar statements in the future;

5. Payment of ₦250 million in damages for defamation, reputational injury, and consequential losses.

The legal notice further warned that failure to comply within 14 days of receipt will result in legal action against Siasia. The planned suit would seek aggravated damages, a restraining injunction, and full legal costs.

The thing is,the post supposed to be about paying tribute to him, in gratitude and acknowledgement of his contributions and accomplishments.
Instead he turned it into something else that is uncalled for.

Whether Enyeama was better or not and the four goals he conceded against Denmark shouldn't have been mentioned.

Thank you...Rufai just deserves RIP not who is better between him and Enyeama..... Enyeama conceded 4 cheaper goals against Ghana in a friendly match in London and this made him to be second choice under Berti Vogts....Agreed Enyeama is our all time best but Rufai held the title between 1983 to 2010

Even after the retraction and apology, Siasia is still asked to pay 250 million naira and if he fails to comply within 14 days, he would be charged to the court.
I pray the stakeholders intervene and settle the matter.

You posted June 16th as the last update? The latest from Fabrizio was that both Al Hilal and Galatasaray have tabled offers and are pushing. He confirmed that Juventus have made contact, but nothing serious yet.
According to Goal.com, most interested European clubs and Osimhen himself are playing a waiting game, as the release clause will no longer be valid after July 15.

Nwabali recently did an empowerment for youths in his area and a higher portion of the comments were negative saying he should have built a factory. The more you see, the less you understand......
