That is not true. I am a graded referee. We have referees that can handle the world cup but we are not into the politics of selection.


The older referees do not create enabling environment for growth an development of younger once.

Its a lie.
Forget the FBI investigation of FIFA, the U.S are just pained due to the fact that Russia their arch political rival is going to host the world cup in 2018, remember when the U.S filed a petition that Russia should not host it and fifa shunned them, painting fifa black is their way of getting back at them.
But this isn't the first time FIFA are embroiled in a case like this... is it?

They have being accused of corruption a number of times now.

The bitter truth is our league is so poor it's not even funny. If the FA had allowed the league to grow from the days of 3SC,Plateau United,Mighty Jets,Rangers,Iwauyanyu National etcl till date. Who would bother with the English league. Can't blame FIFA, most Nigerian refs can't compete with their counterparts from other parts of the world

But a nigerian referee would never take a bribe. Nigerians aren't really known for such behaviour.

Nawao. So we don't even have African standard referees and we are the giant of Africa. cheesy
Nigerians referees are cheat .... One of them told me standard officiating style in Nigerian league is "balanced officiating in first half , home-favoured officiating in second half" ... because they have collect bribe from both home and away team ..... balance the game in first half to satisfy away team , favoured home in second half so as not to be mobbed by home teams and their fans.

Nigerian Government has not attached any importance to our football ..... it has to be strictly deregulated and the appropriate atmosphere for security and independent judgement of referees should be guaranteed.

Yeah, our referees have long way to go, but all those white referees are not perfect as well.

Fifa president is more like Mugabe,a life long despot that death seems to be his only way out. And just as presumably infallible as the papal.

Football is becoming another form of organised religion with be spelled and hypnotised followers. Especially Africans who never seem to get the real piece of the game,yet,they follow blindly.
