Where did you see facts there? It is an interesting article and I like his take on the situation and I posted it.

The question is,

Is NFF under Pinnick accountable and transparent?

Is there proof of diversion of funds despite huge funding from sponsors?

With all the huge sponsorship he has been jumping up and down, is there a transparent breakdown of the funding.

These are the things I will watch out for in recent years. The author made his point.

If you want an account of their spendings you ask them for an audit not forming conspiracy theories, has any NFF board made a public accounting of funds or is it just because you hate Pinnick? By the way I like how you are jumping from incompetent to not accountable

THE HARRISON JALLA PERSPECTIVE: NFF New Sponsorship Deals Translate To Nothing

---

Last week, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) entered into partnership with Telecommunications giant MTN and a leading brand in the Nigeria aviation industry, AIR PEACE, in Lagos.

The deals like several others run into several hundreds of millions of Naira for three years.

The NFF through President Amaju Pinnick also confirmed that other streams of sponsorship deals from different brands are on their way to the NFF coffers shortly.

Unfortunately, these deals and the expected deals lined up for the NFF will translate to nothing and will definitely add no value to Nigeria Football due to entrenched corruption, massive looting, lack of accountability and transparency.

The problem with Nigeria Football under Pinnick has nothing to do with sponsorship or funding, he has that in abundance.

Despite the huge sponsorship funds at the disposal of Pinnick, he also has this uncanny method of hanging all the hosting of the national team games on the State Governors particularly in the South South.

And these games in which huge state resources are committed by the Governors have no accounting records as funds provided don’t go through the NFF accounts.

Alhaji Aminu Maigari, former NFF President and Amaju Pinnick’s predecessor in office, was never privy to all these huge resources. He worked with limited funds from the federation account and won 12 trophies in four years without owing a backlog of bonuses and allowance to any category of the national teams.

Therefore, there is nothing really to celebrate about the so-called new NFF sponsorship deals.

They will translate to nothing because the funds will be diverted as usual to private pockets.

And all the sermonising about self-funding is balderdash.

Vision bawo abeg abeg abeg

Pinnick may not be the best, but he's done his bit in moving the needle forward.

He made Super Eagles a brand corporate Nigeria wanted to associate with, got all those endorsement, rectified the kit issue and got us Nike with a sensible contract and knew to demand for more when the branding issue was resolved.

I know we like to criticise as Nigerians but make we dey take am soffery.

The guy prefer Maigari, Maigari!!!

jihday:
same way you love Aribo and Balogun

I report when they do well but the guy has a love-hate relationship with Onyekuru

PurpleHouse:
Saka, (I am NIGERIAN),

Says hi.

Saka was not invited for the Super Eagles tho

PurpleHouse:
I hope Rohr have capped him

If he change his mind now we will say he is a back stabber. But na our oga nor dey agressive with winning over players loyalty before the limelight. Shiooor!

He has not been capped but I doubt he will change his mind at this stage

And Oh did he shine

Bassey completed 90 mins against Lyon playing as a CB, he is no longer a player that can play as a CB he is now a full blooded CB

TheLoneCitizen:
Onyekuru having his second best game of his Olympiakos career.

Should score tonight.

What's with you and Onyekuru?

PurpleHouse:
He's not even named on the team.
Na so he allow laziness and comfort zone kill him glorious career. But them nor dey see this one stone Ooh. Na the ones wey nor get enough opportunity.

Comfort zones has buried more destinies than death itself. What a waste of talent. I have no more pity for him. He could have pressed for a move last season but he nor gree.

I'm not stoning or mocking him, just angry at his love for his comfort zone.

Iheanacho has Covid

BascoVanVeli:
What kind of wickedness is this na

No Kimmich, no Gnabry it could be worse

Ppogbae:
That is what happens when you invest in your domestic football. North African countries represent us every year in the club world cup, have the best infrastructure and always throw in their hand to host matches anytime hosting in another country goes awry.

This is not about investing this is pure nepotism, just because some countries are better than others doesn't mean opportunities shouldn't be shared 50:50 North Africa has been doing this for years and getting away with it

Ppogbae:
Cameroon is having difficulties hosting AFCON as one their stadiums isn't ready and their security has been stretched thin by insecurity.

Hosting it in Qatar is NOT OFF THE TABLE for event organizers and CAF

This people will do anything to give North Africa the advantage, hosting World cup qualifier in Qatar, holding Afcon in Qatar we are held hostage by the Arabs

TFLASHOGEE:
Belgium has been the best place so far for our young talent's to get their breakout season but nice if Sweden can offer Same thing

Yeah Belgium is good too

charlesemeka85:
The 19-year-old star has spent just 18 months in Sweden, but he has already made a big impression

Former Golden Eaglets Akinkunmi Amoo has clinched the award for the best young player in the 2021 Swedish Allsvenskan season.

The Hammarby forward beat Malmo’s Veljko Birmancevic and Hampus Finndel from Djurgadens IF to claim the same award that compatriot Alhassan Yusuf won in 2019 while playing for IFK Goteborg.


Så röstade @irma_helin i Allsvenskans Stora Pris pic.twitter.com/l0SDSsJlZx

The Hammarby academy product arrived from Nigerian amateur side FC Sido in June 2020, but it didn’t take him time to get into the first team as he got his chance just three months later.

This season, he became an established player for the former Allsvenskan champions, making 29 league appearances out of a possible 30.



The 19-year-old did deliver, as he registered nine goals and five assists to help Hammarby to a fifth-place finish.

Amoo was part of the team that represented Nigeria at the 2019 U-17 World Cup in Brazil. He had three assists to his name in that competition.



Meanwhile, Amoo was not the only Nigerian that was recognised for their outstanding performance, as Norrkopings’ Samuel Adegbenro also clinched the best striker award after scoring 17 goals and assisting two in 30 appearances.

It seems Sweden is the place to go for our youngsters

I hope it's not Moriba Im seeing

TheGoodJoe:

How is that not a penalty?

They dismissed it immediately

Chei

Your LB

charlesemeka85:
wetin Dey mad me where ake Dey na with his locks u go think say na one bad ass defender

He looks like a very good defender

TheGoodJoe:

I think Pep should give Romeo Lavia a chance. Fernandinho is also under a lot of pressure and we need more pace and skills to quickly pass the middle block of Leipzig.

I think Fernandinho will be okay, the problem is he doesn't trust what's going on behind him

Ake gives me the feeling that Maduka Okoye gives me, when they are facing the ball you get mortified that they will make a mistake

Icon79:
Well, I am always a big believer that there’s no harm in trial. That’s the same stance I have on Eberechi Eze as well. Until England actually caps these guys, we should keep making contacts … especially through their parents/family.


O pari

You can't get Carney Chukwuemeka just forget about it

Icon79:
Why is he a no go area tho? Have we tried to approach him already?


O pari

He has been prepared for the England team from Aston Villa academy, Adarabioyo wey no get future no gree play for us na Carney your eye reach

Icon79:
Why am I not surprised? Our useless NFF, they would ignore him while inviting aged men like Musa and Shehu, then once another country starts showing interest on him, they will start going to take photo ops with him.

I mean, if the NFF are not clueless, they would immediately get him into our system along with Arthur Okonkwo of Arsenal.


O pari

Carney Chukwuemeka is a no go area, no be everything dem dey blame NFF

andrewbaba44:
Mention the player the your full chest make we know

Follow the topic I have already mentioned him here

Even world class players like Mbappe served their place in the bench but one ajibo wan hold SE to ransom

solonnachi:
.He demanded more playing time from Rohr and a first team place which Rohr was reluctant to give

Na terrorist im be be that

drDoom3:
Under normal circumstances, yes, it is a flimsy excuse.

However, remember that if he goes to this tournament, his club (which pays his salary) will lose his services. During that time, the club could purchase a player to replace him and he could lose his place in the squad entirely. His club could also lose all their games and be set for relegation due to his absence. At the end, it would be to what purpose? To sit on the bench for a coach that doesn't rate him.

Las las, it's all CAFs fault. They should not be holding AFCON at this kind of time. For me, any player that is not assured of theirs and their clubs safety shouldn't honor AFCON invitation because it will affect their long term stability and development as a player.

Every player reporting for National team call up faces the same thing with his club its not like Dennis' case is special, I don't see how CAF is at fault the Afcon was scheduled for a favorable weather or should we schedule our Afcon during the rainy season to please the European clubs?

seankafor:

You don mess up

drDoom3:
If I was in his shoes I would do the same.

Why will I go for a tournament I will mostly sit on the bench for washed players when I am the best player in my club helping my club survive relegation?

Oh he is now accepting invitations based on the fact that he starts, which Super Eagles player didn't start his career on the bench, Osimhen, Ejuke, Chukwueze? Well it has been cleared up that it is false because that is a flimsy excuse
