E no go better for anybody weh talk down on Maduka Okoye! The guy has already made 5 mad saves only in the first 45 minutes. This guy is good.

Remove Okoye, Juventus would've been up by 5 goals in the first 45 minutes.

It's now 1-1 ooo grin
Take time ooo, Okoye no good ooo, my own is that let Nwabali finish the work he started, nobody should mention Okoye name there

Kashimawo Laloko
Aliyu Ibrahim
Galadima
Sani Lulu
Aminu Maigari
Amaju Pinnick
Gusau



Thr fattest era of triangles in rectangular holes was from that Galadima to Magari.


But you see this Amaju Pinnick!!!huh


Man borrowed from the Sepp Blatter Style. He mixed it well to stay in the middle but he was actually in Hayatou mode with funds. Ambitious and corporate world smart in a Corleone way.

For those terrible 3 muskeeteers from the North, they couldn't hide their own mismanagement and lack of knowledge of the game, amongs other disabilities. But you see Amaju 'Whitebeard' Pinnick.....

Alalalalalala. He's left office and we keep hearing new things. Like the legendary Sani Abacha. I guess the media space in the sports word in Nigeria are 4times more lenient with him than they ever were with Sani and Aminu.

Is that all,huh And by the way which Afcon, for home SE or the normal Ones,

Secondly where was Naija football as at that year 2015, and what Year did Pinnick emerge as NFF president


From 2019 till he leaves Office, we the Fans and yes you heard it from me, majority of us here are the cos why we failed to qualify for that worldcup,

Bring your facts let's dissolve it, step by step
What other facts do you want him to bring when you are yet then dispute the one your quoted? It's obvious you're not even aware of the timeline Amaju became President of you're restricting the conversation "from 2019".

Amaju became NFF President in September 2014 and served 8 years as President of the NFF. Just a year prior to him becoming President, Nigeria had won the AFCON but upon his advent as chairman we missed 2 AFCON tournament back to back. That you're asking if the AFCON being referenced is the homebased one shows you shouldn't even be having this conversation but instead should go do some research.

Someone claimed Amaju's time as President is the worst, you disagree even with facts staring you in the face. Then the onus is on you to present facts showing a more worse President the NFF has ever had.

Amini Maigari was a lot better. He was the one who pioneered the u13 teams in the NFF which has helped Nigerian football in no little way. It's still a wonder how this program wasn't allowed to thrive under Pinnick

He was terrible with administration overall. The idea was good but i felt that was a coyish move to pretend to show workings. I hate to look at all the names of these presidents and realize we've not had ONE good one since the hand over from military to civilian. ☹️☹️☹️😤

Now we are currently in the era where the journos are loyal to someone so they can't criticize. Smh. Such nonsense was not in complete sports era.

My point being he was the better of the bad bunch. Again like I opined yesterday, it's impossible to have one good NFF president with the current composition. It's just not possible when 37 of the 44 voting delegates are politicians. It's amazing many people don't realize this. If nothing changes, the next NFF President after Gusau will be another of the state FA chairmen.

I know say love dey always wins, but in this Case I laff you Sir, honestly I laff 🤣🤣🤣🤣,

Me and you both know that 2013 wins was largely due to players and their coaches, again wasn't it the same coaches who threatened not to return else then NFF do certain things,

And am guessing it's Pinnick then, that was the president 😁

With almost all the players in their 30s, now talk true, when Pinnick came did he or did he not vowed to fans like me and you here and all others to appoint Sundayhuh

Do you want me to continuehuh Off all problems bedeviling Naija football, it didn't even start with him, yet y'all nick him the worsthuh

The only thing which I faulted him for is his Coaches appointments and bowing to fans and the Media alike, as for others he performed better, prove me wrong


More so that stadium that all of you are blaming and fingering him for, ask yourself selves, what was the value of naira to dollar when that funds send during the Pinnick Era,

I will stop here,


Lastly, your recommendation no 5,and 7 are the major reasons we are where we are today as a football loving nation

Sincerely can't make sense of what's you're saying. The claim is that Pinnick is the worst NFF President and verifiable facts were outlined in support of said argument. You however disagreed, which by implication means you believe there's someone worse than Pinnick.

Instead of trying to explain away Pinnicks incompetence (with a lot of misinformation btw) why not pick another president you believe is worse than Pinnick and give reasons on why you think he's worse based on objective metrics. What you've done instead is try to explain the 2013 AFCON victory, blame age as reasons for our non qualification for 2 WAFCONs, blamed fans for the administrative decisions Pinnick made, blamed the coach choices etc.

We've never had a great NFF President. No one is arguing that. We've always had problems with football adminstration, everybody knows that. But we are saying the claim is that amongst the bad administrators, Pinnick is worse.

BTW, I'm personally indifferent about who is or who isn't the worst NFF President. I only joined the conversation cause your rebuttal was at best incoherent.

The lesser devil. Well even that is had to admit but i get your POV. That vote of no confidence and financial secrecy even to the executive..... Sounds like a Lesser Pinnick.

The centre will soon collapse. We have one of the dumbest structures for football administration down to the lane where we are sweating hard over foreign borns vs local grown takes preeminence.



I wish there was NL Polls, I'll put it to a test of who was indeed the worst NFF president.

This guy with Benjamin Frederick and Bassey at the back is already a solid 3/4 defenders one day. We need to be catching the defenders at the turn of 20yo.

The success of teams in our sports barely transcends from good leadership. I've learnt that a long time ago to never mix the two.

That 2013 success, they'll attach it to nff president. Lmao. The wafcon we just won, they'll do same for Gusau and Madugu. Lol

Format is win something and then what follows is terrible administration covered by that lone success.

But you see this Pinnick??

This man gat the funds combined of the last 3 NFF bosses and he squandered it in a Wolf of Wall Street way. That's a huge huge devil there. Forget all those PR he was a genius at. I loved it too. But those funds were enough to return all the National Teams to compete with the best of Europe if they went in the right coffers. Im judging him mainly on a what would have been.

Heck more exposure comes to light and now I'm on the "what more do i not know mehn?" Level.

I see you were a superb fans of complete sports and it's sisters publications, yes I look forward to every Thursday and weekends for both Mumuni and The Mathematical,

Pitifully the paper is no longer in print, I miss that paper like madt


On Pinnick, there is something we must come to terms with when judging as per the funds he received, the exchange rates during his time and now are two major things,

I only defended him on whats on ground, as per those revealing things coming to lights,

To be honest we must look back to know where it came from, cos the one presently on ground the $1.2m kebbi stadium, many are using today's exchange rates to judge him on it
