Egypt may have better infrastructure than ourselves in fact they probably do. However, that's not the issue, we are talking about AFCON not the world cup or the Euros. You will not have a massive influx of sports fans from across Africa converging in Nigeria. We are not talking l don't think of up to a million fans. Africans just don't have that kind money to spend a couple of thousand $ to spend 2/3 weeks on a football holiday in general and or interest. So all this talk about hotels, etc Is premature. What l want to say is l remember when Mali hosted AFCON in 2002. Whaaaaten Mali get we Nigeria no get times 50. Nigeria has the capacity, the ability and existing infrastructure to deliver an Amazing AFCON. Only Lagos alone can do a fantastic job self. After all recently Guinea & Co even Rwanda were able to host AFCON. So yes the politicians and government officials will have a field day lining thier pockets. Manipulating the situation for corrupt gain. Even with all these hurdles Nigeria can deliver an Amazing AFCON. Less money to me means less corruption. NIGERIA IS ABLE. No Shakin |

We have hosted world cups in the past, so that’s really not the issue. We cannot fire-brigade this one WITHOUT A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT OR TWO. komekn: |

Mickael2:Too bad, I couldn't get to see the interview, my friend called me to tell me about it when they were just about wrapping up. Don't forget, we have a president who opted for a recorded interview rather than a live media chat. Just pathetic, where we've found ourselves today. |

Mickael2:You hit the nail on the head on your analysis of ten root of corruption in Nigeria! Anybody who claims to fight corruption without, first, ensuring that at least government workers are paid a living wage, is deceiving him/herself. The proposed N30k minimum wage amongst the cruelest jokes ever perpetrated on the Nigerian people. Anything less than N55k/month for federal workers, is a non-starter. |

Ex-Germany U20 Skipper Akpoguma : Rohr Wants Me To Play For Nigeria Over Germany Published: January 09, 2019 Hannover 96 defender Kevin Akpoguma has refused to change his mind on his decision not to accept a call-up up from the Nigerian Federation, saying his priority is to make his senior debut for his country of birth, Germany. Since 2014, Akpoguma has been on the radar of the Nigeria Football Federation and national teams coaching staff. Former Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia first invited him to a training camp in Abuja in December 2014 ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games but the central defender snubbed his invitation. Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has repeatedly expressed his interest in Akpoguma and the German tactician was unable to persuade Akpoguma to play for the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup. Speaking to German sports magazine Kicker, Akpoguma stated : ''Gernot Rohr is still interested and would be happy, but I do not want to close the door to the German national team. "Even if Joachim Löw calls me at the age of 27 for a game or two, that would be an honor for me, because Germany is the country where I was born." Akpoguma has collected 64 youth caps for Germany at U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 level. |

Nigeria international defender Tyronne Ebuehi is closing in on a return to full fitness for his Portuguese side Benfica with his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury progressing as expected, Owngoalnigeria.com reports. Ebuehi ruptured his cruciate ligament in pre season with Benfica following his transfer for free from Dutch side ADO Den Haag in the summer after his exploits for Nigeria at the World Cup. 23 year old Ebuehi stood out for Nigeria in the game against Iceland at the Russia 2018 World Cup with his ability to operate as a wing back or full back on either flanks the hallmark of his display for Nigeria. A celebrated move to Benfica was cut short by the injury he picked up but his recovery has been smooth sailing and he is expected to return back to training later this month. The 29th of January has been picked as his return date and it will no doubt put him in the frame to be selected for Nigeria’s squad to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations provided he didn’t suffer any set backs when he starts to play competitive games for Benfica. |

Edopesin:Holy Christ Almighty! What the hell is this?. This is a big slap on the face of Gernot Rohr, the NFF, and every single Nigerian on earth. From today onward, no FB should be approached unless he first declares for the SE. For Bleep's sake this average dude just spat on the Green white Green flag!. Let us play with what we have. Even if it means playing with a 100% local based team. If we perish we perish. Mr Komekn, how's this for a NATIONAL EMBARRASSEMENT? |

Your bolded is exactly the same reason many of u give to these FBs, stating that they would regret their action for turning us down. In reality, some of them won’t. That is the case of Akpoguma. Let’s be realistic. I don’t think the idea of playing for Nigeria is attractive to some of them even if it means having no international career. Modified For me Akpoguma was a no go area before this moment. Only Uduokhai of the 3 German born defenders fancy Nigeria at least. Curtisaxel7: |

Curtisaxel7:First of all THERE IS NO EMBARRASSMENT players reject and accept and change allegiance after playing some friendlies. Look at Costa that rejected Brazil look at the National outcry. Then even Zaha left England for Cote De Viore. There are mannerisms and cultures in Europe and in England in particular. No player already playing for one country will talk about playing for another without being approached. Nobody wants to be publicly shamefully embarrassed with rejection. I have said this a thousand times, the NFF needs to create relationship with players even just on potential. That's a failing of the NFF. Consider that the NFF was engaging with Ademola Lookman, Chuks Aneke, Josh Maja, Ebere Eze and was in the front seat but then decided to ignore them. Tega Abrahams was in a very contentious position dammed if he did dammed if he didn't. Tega has played for England from day one as a youth, once Amaju with his Warri bravado started making public declaration about Tega he basically shot himself in the foot. Huge amounts of pressure was placed on him. That whole scenario would have effected his football career in the negative if he had chosen Nigeria. Similar with Dominic Iorfa he needed to first of all finish playing youth football for England and sort out his long term future with a good contract before committing to Nigeria . Once he had done that he made allegiance to Nigeria. Indeed Rohr visited him it was all very positive then all of s sudden NFF started doing double standard Maradona. So that generalistic negative one shoe fits all is nonsense. I know several Nigerian origin players in the UK who have made quite affirmation to the NFF but have been snubbed. I know others who have been invited but further invitations hinged on showing monetary gratuity to shameless NFF officials and yes coaches. So it's not just one way traffic the NFF still has a lot of Salisu's. |

Joebie:There is a clear double standard, don't you think ❓ Akpoguma, Uduokhai and Jordan Torunarigha are three players the NFF have pursued relentlessly who have shown public disinterest from the start. But Iorfa who has shown public interest from the start we rejected or pushed aside. Akpoguma has been honourable and very open and unambiguous throughout. He simply was never interested he made that clear in the beginning. However, we still continued to pursue him relentlessly, Why ❓ All three of the German defenders can not be said to be better than Dominic Iorfa. |

Joebie:You are just grasping for straw. Give it up. You don't know anything. Seven Stars Luxury Lifestyle and Hospitality Awards, and World travel awards are different from world luxury hotels award. Transcorp Hilton won these awards at the regional level for the third and fifth year running respectively. Like I said, give it up. You are embarrassing yourself.

But when I don't have shishi, push me to the wall and I will develop teeth and karma will support me. Development comes first then you can start fighting corruption later on, in fact development simultaneously fights corruption |
