OMG eleven years after hosting U-20 world cup with decaying facilities subsequently.FYI SA has superior facilities and had hosted many tournaments from football to rugby and cricket at world level. Do you have any stadium with a capacity of 90,000 seating like the FNB in Joburg. Do you have enough logistics to move 32 teams around seamlessly with no hitch.
Please never ever compare age grade competition with the Mundial. I ask you how many 5 stars hotel do we have in Nigeria.They are not up to 5.Please don't use humongous structure to rate hotels,so how are you ahead of SA in hospitality.This is not about loyalty to the nation but BASED ON FACTS.
how many 5 star hotels are in Uruguay ?

they have hosted twice


how many is in Chile ?

how many is in Argentina ?

meanwhile I can count over 20 5star hotels in Lagos alone .


meanwhile most traveling mundial fans don't use 5 star hotel , there's what we call game villages, or u think a Brazilian fans will stay in 5 star hotels for 30 days knowing fully well that their national team has 80% chance of playing in finals , or u think the traveling English fans will make use of 5 star hotels , Lagos area boys are not more stubborn than them , that's why FIFA prefer a games village for fans , though 5 star hotels will play a part but it's not a main issue , a games village is more important to FIFA . like I told u , know nothing about football .

these naija 10 cities can host world cup matches , uyo , calabar , PH , enugu, owerri , warri, Kano , ibadan , lagos , kaduna , add Abuja to it , Abuja can host opening and final match , meanwhile FIFA need only 8 cities , I gave u sound eleven cities , of which I Know asaba , might surprise u

have a nice day

Thanks for thinking about your associate.

But the problem is this:

In Nigeria, corruption is rife and that's no exaggeration.

When a matter bordering on corruption comes up, the actors are often pronounced guilty in the court of public opinion because of its preponderance.

Siasia himself was often accused of selling out super eagles positions when he was manager of the team.

This could be mere rumour or even have some basis behind it. Either way, his tenure was tainted by this belief.

Lastly, he has been found guilty by a FIFA panel of investigation into match fixing.

This is away from dabbling of our local politics.

Even football great Platini has been given the same treatment, so the suggestion of racism is not particularly a good kite to fly.

All in all, 2019 has been a terrible year for Siasia.

He can pick himself up and do other things with his life.

You can help him too but don't expect much from the Nigerian populace or FIFA.
Like you rightly pointed out, Siasia has been alleged many times by many players of demanding for bribe just to field them.

He was given a window of opportunity to clear his name, and came out with the excuse of being unable to raise fund to fly down to Switzerland (Story).

Nigerian FA doesn't owe him anything, let him defend himself.

Have you been to Monte video or Santiago before. Lagos has only one 5 star hotel the Intercontinetal hotel. The best Eko can get is 4 star and I doubt that cos there isn't valet parking there. Please go and research how hotels are rated. It is not by block or glass works.

About Uruguay and Chile hosting.Check the years they hosted last and ask me if they had ever put in bid for any other one in the last 40 years. The world cup has grown so big that it is an economy on its own. Argentina can't even put in a bid as their economy has been in shambles for the past 10 years. Let me tell you the bitter truth,Nigeria can not afford to host the world as at 2010 and as at now. We will need nothing less than $8b conservatively in investment in infrastructures to host it. Please tell me where the money will come in from if we dont borrow.

in 1998 Frane spent 1.5 billon and got 3.5 after everything , 2 billion gain.

if u win host , FIFA will support u with almost half of that . and FIFA marketers will support u too , local businesses too

and don't forget dangote, otedola , Ifeanyi Ubah , they are all from Nigeria

they all love football

give 3 of them hosting of world cup as business , they will take it up

even the segun odegbami , handed the 2010 world cup bidding to South Africa , when Nigeria is far in front . he was the head of bidding committee , he told FIFA that Nigeria is potting for South Africa , when Nigeria is far ahead .


money exchanged hands I think

Nigeria hosted under 20 world cup in 1999.

though FIFA later gave Nigeria under 17 world cup as compensation ,

a Friend from South told me , when FIFA said the world cup must be in Africa , Nigeria had a better chance than South , until segun shifted it .

Let me just give you a hint, S.A lost the previous world cup of 2006 to Germany by a point. Prior to that, Morocco, also lost the World cup in 98 by a slim margin to France. So, when they decided that Africa should host in 2010, SA and Morocco were already front runners for FIFA, to be seen to be transparent, they decided to throw it open.

Nigeria could never have hosted that world cup and that's why we later pulled out, anyone telling you otherwise I making a fiction for a nice movie yet to be released. The internet is there, find out for yourself.

To compare and U20 world cup to a main World cup shows that you aren't really abreast with FIFA standards. That's all I will say for now. Check the internet to know why we were given as host for that world cup, let's talk with knowledge and facts while outside because everything we ought to know is right on the internet without cost, especially for those who weren't around when these events happened.

When did you become an expert? Please explain to us how a coach can fix a match without a player or set of players as accomplices.
You seem to have a problem with comprehension, I'd advised you go solve that, before we could go any further. I am telling you that just as a coach can fix a match with his players, he can also fix without any player knowing and you are busy displaying your ignorance in public glare. I hate it when one fails to use his or her intellects well.

Nigerians and passing out judgement b4 a man defend himself in court and they be ranting when buhari refuse to release sowore after court order..
My opinion be say NFF suppose to assist him since he said that he is innocent.
A man is not guilty untill he is found guilty. Even when that home base eagle coach was caught on video for collecting bribe, nff still conduct investigation to be sure.
If that Siasia win that case in CAS now, you will see most of these idiots cruxifying him now will be calling fifa all sorts of name even saying its racists yet they have already condem him.
What is the different b/w you guys and buhari who disobey court order because sowore/dansuki et al. were already found guilty in his heart.

Why ar u wasting ur time wit dis dump fellow. If Nigeria were ready for world cup in 2010 over SA, Morroc, Egypt, Tunisia, why did they not bid 4 last nation cup when it was known that cameroon could not host it. he think world cup nah beans..

so u now believe a country that has host the under 20 does not has a chance against morrroco and South , remember we just finished hosting the nation's cup

why not segun allow FIFA take their decision ,

why throw in the towel ?

see I was not surprised when I heard siasia issue , FIFA invited him to come and defend himself , he didn't go

Nigeria stood a better chance ahead of South and morrroco ,

I followed everything up then , Nigeria pulled out so that South will have a better chance , why ?

why ?

do u think South can do same if they found Nigeria in sane situation

am telling u , Nigeria stood a better chance than South

if not they should have allowed FIFA to take their decision , why pull out in final minute ?

it's just like pulling out of world cup final match cos u are meeting Brazil ,

why did Nigeria pull out , when the race was just between them , novice Morocco and novice South Africa , in terms of hosting any FIFA event







we successfully hosted the under 20 and co hosted the nation's cup with Ghana ?

we allow things fly in this country , if not segun should have faced the panel . u are here telling me Nigeria stood no chance , am not going to read anything on internet cos I followed everything up myself then .


since FIFA has made their intentions that football is coming to Africa , why not fight to finish ? answer me pls

why not fight to finish ?

why not let FIFA to decide ?

why throw in the towel on the 12th round ? meanwhile your fighter is still on his feet

I will not reply u sir , we hosted festac in 77

so now u think world cup is bigger than festac 77 ?

do u know that FIFA pay the host country almost half of the money ?

do u know that FIFA sponsors do contribute ?

maybe u were not born yet in 77 for u to say we can't host the world cup , jack warnner the FIFA head of inspection , so much love Nigeria , he was not happy when Nigeria pulled.

So in your mind the mouth FIFA give to the host nation would have been enough to built 6-7 stadiums? renovate abuja and national stadium lagos?.
Then why was nigeria going for the last afcon when cameroon were strip off because we all know we would hv been given it.
Can you even compare the logistics of hosting world cup in 8-10 cities and that of FESTAC 77 just a single town created for the purpose. Even olympic you cannot compare festac 77 with, you are talking about world cup... guy you need to go back to school.

what do u mean , uyo , calabar , Lagos , Abuja , Kano , ibadan , warri , enugu , pH , can all host world cup matches, Nigeria don't need to build any new stadium , jack wanner saw everything , he gave Nigeria go ahead . the FIFA inspection team came , if I may ask u what did qatar had on the ground before they got FIFA nod to host the world cup ?

that's why FIFA gave like 8 yrs for u to build and get ready , u don't need to have everything on the ground sir

what Nigeria don't have is maintenance culture , but if na to build and host , we get that die

when warnner and his FIFA inspection team came to inspect Nigeria before the under 20 world cup , the saw nothing , they came again they saw nothing , he said Nigeria is not ready when they came for final inspection , he said Nigeria did the 8 wonders of the world , everything was ready

Nigeria is a fun loving country , and we get hospitality die , we know how to treat visitor ,

let me tell u

Kaliningrad Stadium in Russia is below 30,000 capacity , but it hosted Nigeria vs coratia , hosted England vs Belgium and 2 other matches at the world u are talking in 2018 world cup ! meanwhile uyo stadium is almost 40,000 capacity


segun blew it up , now we have to wait for another 30 yrs

The country owes him nothing if he decides to dabble in shady businesses. He bears his cross alone.

It's his fault if he gave people an email address he doesn't use.

I wonder why sportspersons are deemed heroes to be cared and pampered for during the period of their decline, when they were paid handsomely in their prime and, instead of good investments, they squander it all on cars and drink and food and sex.

No other country feels an obligation to give pensions to expired athletes, except in Nigeria where everyone with a pen thinks it's the right thing to do.

So why don't we make the same argument for gifted students who represent the country in contests?
I don't know where you got this information, but there is no pension in place for ex-internationals or any Nigerian athlete at all, the sports bodies barely even pay active athletes, how much more those who have retired?

England, on the other hand, pays pension to their ex-footballers, according to John Fashanu.

Please, let us desist from spreading false information

First of all, Nigeria has never openly bid for world cup before against the europian, asia, americas but egypt, morroc, SA have.. why?. the bid because itwas zone to africa and in every bid fifa commitee visited all the country bid is submitted from & dat does not our bid could have been the one accepted.
The nff officials that withdrew that bid take everything into consideration and realise it was impossible target and withdrew. Have you ever wondering why England bid is not being accepted for all the bid they submitted in hosting fifa biggest competition or are you telling me england don't have the cities and can't meet the demand of hosting world cup since 1960? nor any other major tournament apart from the london olympic in 2012?

you talk about lagos and i am wondering if common hv to wake up by 4a.m to go to work how much more extra thausands of ppl?, you talk about uyo and am wondering what puplic space, facities that is there to accommodate millions. I am from akwa ibom and stop painting uyo as heaven.

You think the amount fifa give can built 8stadia in diff cities? you think those cities mention can built well covered stadium?
even uyo can't complete the godswill int'l stadium as it is olympic stadium.
can the state of our airport take care of 100thausands of people, do we hv railway that can transport ppl from lagost, abuja n other part which is cheaper to flight, what of the road transport, to move from north to south you have to past via east and we know the states of road there, how about the security agencies are they well equip 4 us citizen talkless of others, what about hospital, and other emergency service, water, electricity, internet?.

Slow down and read again

No one says there's an existing pension, all i said was people seem to be clamoring for one when they say the country should take care of its retired athletes.

As for England, you only have fashamu's claim of it, which is most certainly a lie. No one is as thrifty as the Brits, there's no way they'll pay N5m monthly to a retired athlete who's since gone on to other ventures. How many retired athletes are in the UK? Imagine spending N5m monthly on each of them without a very loud public outcry.

Don't just write, read.
