Stop appointing fingers . Nigerian are very terrible set of human specie i have ever seen.
We put all the blame on president , governor and other government appointees, meanwhile what we individual are doing is terrible. Is president that is the NFF chairman.
Let me give you a scenero to know nigerians are very terrible human being.
The transformer of my area packed off. We went to IKEDC for transformer they said there are hundred of people waiting for transformer.
The CDA tasked each house to pay so that we can purchase new transformer. We contributed but unfortunately , the money was not enough. The community people get new transformer by donation from king of the town. We call ikedc technical people to come for installation. We were billed to pay 5m for just installation because they said if we go official it may take us another 6 months before it would reach our turn. We told them we dont have money, imagine the ikedc people said what about the money we contributed for the purchase of transformer. Since we have gotten transformer free of charge , then the money contributed should be used.
Is it Tinubu that is making life difficult or we as individual.
Let everybody change their altitude towards get rich quick syndrom.
We cant put all the blame on president governor and other officials. we all have role to play
The bulk lies with the president have you forgotten or your have short memory

I am still of the view that women should have no place in men's football and vice versa.

One wonders why FIFA wants to be needlessly woke.

Soon, you'd start to hear "he sexualised me with his eyes" and "he was looking lustfully at me".

Some issues men get dragged into are totally avoidable.

SixSeven:
I want to conduct a poll on this topic after my comment on the other thread about female commentators in football games. I do not enjoy it and I have been watching football for over 3 decades. I have also been listening to football commentary and analysis on radio, through SW to AM to FM and now podcasts and everything. During the days of livescores, I don't know if they still do that, women call it out. Women were always in the game but they never touched the live commentary part. I think due to the nature of the game and most audience being men, it was a sacrilege to disrupt what people heard. Someone called me a misogynist because of my comment.

I want to know, do you enjoy women's live commentary for men's games? This is just a statistical analysis of viewers' choice, no sentiments, no favoritism. Let's see what this sample size shows and maybe media organizations can learn from their consumers.
