₦airaland Forum

a man of 40 sometin yrs old still platin his head,

Get to his level first before complain. Who about those idiot politicians who are not plaiting their hair but are embezzling the money that belong to us all.

IBB is right, some Nigerians talk then think. Real idiot, that is what you are.

can anyone who loves kanu advise him to start taking lessons in fulani.
his poor knowledge of the language is an absolute disgrace

I will agree with you the day the queen or Bush, or Obama start speaking any of our local languages fluently. Anofia.

Don't mean to be rude but this is a dumb question. If he is not a legend then who is?

Wow, this thread still available. The first thread I posted on when I first came to Nairaland.

Anyone know the where about of Gabriel Okolosieme who played with Asec mimosa In Ivory Coast? I think he was part of the 1994 team. Almost played for the Ivoriens as well.

Where are all the GEJ fans? I have always known nothing good can come from PDP ( no one should tell us it is too early to judge after all those who said the morning determines are the rest of the day will be are not totally wrong ).  I like him like a person but being a PDP member, he will have so many obligations which is exactly what we are seeing.

He is claiming the constitution does not allow it but the constitution says 1 minister from each state, do we have 42 states in Nigeria? Where did the constitution mention the extra large of other add ons such as the PAs and the SA e.t.c?

We can lament all we care, that will change nothing. The only thing we can do is to pray and hope for a change. I just hope those GEJ ( those who claim to be voting for GEJ and not PDP ) will finally wake up or pray for GEJ to disappoint us who are anti PDP and that believe nothing Good can come from them.

ibedun:
Seriously!!

Do you expect this guy to just simply violate the constitution even if for a good intention?

Are we losing our sense of reasoning, in a democracy!!.

GEJ should obey the constitution first, carry out consultations and then propose an amendment during his elected term if indeed there is a merit to this (more than just money/cost)

The provision was inserted into the constitution for a reason.

Many of you people in Nairaland cannot run a shop or local council meeting let alone a country.

Babangida to his credit (he has very few) said Nigeria is a very difficult country to rule because as a people talk/act first and reason later.

Seriously, no one is losing his or her sense of reasoning here. It is just that you GEJ fans do not want to think. How long did it take the houses to amend the constitution to stop courts from annulling an election and installing the real authentic winner?

Let's be sincere to ourselves, if it ( the amendment ) favors PDP, they would have done something by now.

For me the price is nothing provided the price amounts to the quality. I am on Starcoms and pay 16k per month but it is rubbish.

Where is Taiwo in the list? He has done wonderfully well in France and must be in the list but it is too early for now.

It is a shame that Alao Akala lost. I feel for the cosmetologist, event managers and fashion designers. They may go out of business now that their best client is out on exile for the next 50 years.

The fool has ruin his on career and that of his lineage ( both born and unborn ). Good riddance.

Knowing that Buhari may not win ( rigged out ) makes me bleed in my heart. This is annoying but one thing is certain, I will vote for him and sure the majority of my family vote for him. I like GEJ but he is in the wrong party.

This shows that the trio of Shekarau, Ribadu and Buhari does'nt have the interest of Nigerians at heart and don't even believe in the so called change they profess. This debate offers the best platform for them to sell these candidature to the masses but behold they decided to boycott it for some frivolous and egoistic reasons. FYI, BON is the umbrella association of all electronic and print media, newspaper proprietors,Nigeria Guild of Editors, NUJ, NBA, NANS, etc,  Still wondering whether they are going there to sell their candidature to Gej or to the wider Nigeria audience. All I can say for now is congratulations to Gej, You're truly a lucky chap. If they could come together so quickly to boycott a debate but can't even come together to wrestle power from the ruling party. Bunch of hypocrites acting as if  they are sincere and believe in what they preach.

Nigeria has always been a basket case. Things that are abnormal and aberrations takes place in Nigeria everyday; they are commonplace and they assume normality and are acceptable as part of our life. Having illiterate soldiers rail road the whole nation of well educated people was at one time acceptable in the mentality of Nigerians. At the sight of a demented soldier on national television Nigerians rush out to celebrate and welcome the new 'messiah' to Dodan Barrack. The people easily lap up the new soldier of fortune's promises and good intentions and will be glad that the thieves in babariga and tall caps (a la Shagari's) have been arrested and their political parties "dissolved." People will take to the streets to listen to all the new promises of what the new "fedra gonment" will do. They will lap up all the "summarily dismissed," "hearby dissolved," "summarily expelled," and nonsense like "this gonment will not tallrate any indisplin" from the very mouth of lowlifes who are the very epitome of indiscipline! Mohammudu Buhari was one of such undisciplined soldiers that forcefully terminated democratically constituted and elected governments.

The twin towers of terror, Mohammudu Buhari and his co-traveler Tunde Idiagbon, plotted and terminated the second republic. The second republic was never a worthy venture considering the excesses and corruption of the epicureans in Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Adisa (the self-processed and heavily deluded AMA, Always Mentally Alert) Akiloye's National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but only the people have the right to terminate it through the ballot box. But Buhari has no regard for the ballot box or democratic process that engenders and enthrones democratic regimes. Like any soldier of fortune with a huge personal agenda, Buhari overthrew the government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari. He accused the civilian administration of corruption and bad governance; he called them names and came to the conclusion that they will be "summarily disciplined." On December 31, 1983, Mohammudu Buhari rolled back the hands of the nation's development and stymied the progress of Nigeria. He decided to clean up the mess left behind by the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) and restore order. But rather than dealing with the crooks, philanders, epicureans, grabbers and looters in the NPN and hold them accountable, he chose to punish only a section of the political landscape; he focused on the political opposition that controlled less than 30% of the funds at the time. Buhari arrested, detained and tried all the governors of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) while the erstwhile leaders of the NPN were left untouched and a mere handful of them kept under house arrest.

Buhari's was a selective approach to governance and justice. Not a single Hausa/Fulani man or woman was arrested, interrogated, detained, brought to trial or sent to jail during his dictatorship despite the legions of Southern non-Muslim 'infidels' he detained without trial, sentenced for flimsy reasons, or murdered by retroactive law. It was only Umaru Dikko he went after - for whatever personal reasons - among the dozens of NPN chieftains, but he kept the likes of Professor Ambrose Ali, Chief Olabisi Onabanjo, Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Bola Ige in prison. He tried them and retried them until they were found guilty. His goal was to find them guilty and it was at all cost. For him it was better to find the 'infidels' guilty rather than trouble the 'elect.' Buhari incarcerated the UPN governors who brought development to their people and their states and rewarded NPN governors who could not account for the revenue allocations they got and the loans they borrowed with house arrests and freedom to move around! It was Buhari's Northern Agenda, an agenda soaked in his belief in a pious North and determination to deal ruthlessly with the 'infidels,' from the Christian South and its inferior Muslim population who were not Muslim enough,

The repeated imprisonment, trials and tribulations heaped on the UPN governors hastened the untimely demise of Chief Olabisi Onabanjo and Professor Ambrose Alli. Buhari lacked the conscience to care; he was least interested in the fairness of his action. All the ministers of the National Party of Nigeria and their party chieftains such as the former president Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Suleman Takuma, Adamu Ciroma, Yahaya Dikko and many others were left untouched; they were too pious and of a special Northern breed to be touched. Buhari settled for scapegoats and 'infidels' from the South to justify that he was cleaning the nation of corruption when in fact he wore a garment of greed and excesses. He showed very little respect for the law of the land. He even went a step further to backdate laws in order to ensure that three suspected drug pushers, Bartholomew Owoh, Bernard Ogedengbe and Lawal Ojuolape were found guilty by retroactive law, but then that was a drug trade that prominent Northern Nigerian businessmen were well noted for. In doing this, he insulted the civil society and drew the anger and criticism of the Nigerian media, labour unions, the Nigerian Bar Association, the National Association of Resident Doctors, and many other unions and organizations. Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti and his brother, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti suffered greatly from the inhuman actions and detentions of Buhari and his band of plunders. The three drug suspects were found guilty and murdered by retroactive law. Decree No. 20 of 1984 was not only inhuman and illegal in its composition, it was draconian and a law made by fools, because suddenly action that we acceptable and normal when taken were strangely turned into criminal actions. The Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree 4 of 1984 was Buhari's gift to the Nigerian Press and its first victims were The Guardian's Tunde Thompson and Nduka Iraboh.

Buhari did not even consider the ministers of Alhaji Shehu Shagari who broke every law, plundered the nation's resources and spent money like it was going out of fashion for any punishment. He did not come to punish the 'saints,' because the saints are too pious. His war against indiscipline (WAI) was conceived in deceit. Only the unholy will be punished for acts of indiscipline. The pious have the right to 'take,' to 'use,' and to 'remove' whatever they want, and their taking, using and removing what they want is holy and righteous before Allah. As far as Buhari was concerned only the people in the South were undisciplined since the North was and still is pure and pious. Only numskulls will hold such silly and stupid believes, but Buhari was far from convinced about the superiority of his Hausa/Fulani race and the purity of Islam. For Buhari, he was right and pure and we (the people in the South) are dead. He considered himself sent by Allah to either purify them or exterminate them all.

The Emir of Gwandu was too pious and as such was at liberty to bring in his 53 suitcases. While the people importing contrabands were predominantly from the North, only the few from the South were arrested and prosecuted. Alhaji Jokolo, the current Emir of Gwandu and son of the then Emir recently said his father only brought back 12 suitcases and not 53. Jokolo, a former colonel in the Nigeria Army said it was General Buhari who instructed him to go to the airport to receive his father, the then Emir. Mustapha Jokolo acknowledged that several suitcases were taken straight from the aircraft to the State House. He said those were for the Chief of Protocol, Dahiru Waziri. They were all in the government of Mohammudu Buhari but Buhari did not put them on trial for bringing contraband goods into the country or for disobeying the law by not taking their luggage through the normal process of inspection. Even Buhari's brother was on that same entourage of the Emir of Gwandu, but all of them are neck and shoulder above the law, and the war against indiscipline does not affect them; they are above such petty laws that were made for commoners and Southerners.

General Buhari has very little education, like the rest of his khaki-wearing comrades who ruled Nigeria by force and by decrees. He attended primary school in Daura and later the Katsina Model School before attending military training at home and overseas. We can safely say that this is another cretin case with very little ability for creative, analytical and constructive thinking. Even his actions as military dictator were causes of concern for the academia, and they worry why any rational person will take those actions or follow the steps Buhari followed. A few months or a year in any military college or cadet program can never prepare any soldier for governance. Soldiers are trained to follow rules and to obey orders; never to run government, lead civilians or be seen in the civil society wearing uniform around. No military training prepare or pretend to prepare a soldier to run a local government or a state. Buhari was poorly educated and has a low intelligence quotient (IQ) to manage the affairs of the people of Katsina State and as such lack what it takes to manage the affairs of Nigeria. He forcefully imposed himself on the Nigerian people and made a terrible work of it; he caused confusion, did the economy no good and dehumanized the civil society. If he failed when he was a dictator, I do not see him succeeding in a democratic, give-and-take environment.

Buhari accepted the Abacha contraption and was one of the first few who embraced Abacha quite early and saw nothing wrong in the annulment of MKO Abiola's freely given mandate. Buhari was therefore rewarded with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) by his friend, General Sani Abacha. The PTF had annual budgets that were far more than what most states of the federation received from the federal purse. The Fund began in 1996 with an initial capital of almost 60 billion naira. It was a duplication of social services and it became the bottomless pit that allowed the Northern Oligarchy to loot the national treasury once again. It was like the return of the Nigerian National Supply Company (NNSC) and contracts were flowing and doing so in abundance, but available only to the Oligarchy who will then turn around to sell the contract papers to a Southerner at huge profit. It all became a joke in Lagos about how some people procured the paper and made billions and some bought the paper and do all the work for little or nothing! Buhari's PTF built roads at federal, state and local government levels at a time when the Federal Ministry of Work lacked the funds to repair roads. PTF also procured drugs at a time when the Federal Ministry of Heath did not have the budget to provide drugs for federal hospitals. It was said that the PTF had 115.6 billion naira available to it as at December 31, 1997, funds that were never audited or properly accounted for. Like Abacha and the rest of his government, the PTF was set up to provide an opportunity to loot without any need for accountability; and corruption and indiscipline were never fought at that level. A wise former head of state would have seen that PTF was an alternative government and he would have rejected the offer to be part of it, but not Mr. Buhari. PTF brought untold opportunities and allowed him to practically rebuild Katsina, Kaduna and the rest of the north while a few projects were thrown at the Southern States.

More roads were built in each of Funtua, Gusau, Kaduna, and Sokoto than in Lagos or Oyo State. Over 70% of the Fund's allocation went into modernizing the roads in the North. For example, roads in Malali Government Reservation Area (GRA) in Kaduna were as good as you can wish for before PTF was set up, but these roads were dualized with PTF's money all the way to Durbar Hotel and beyond. Buhari's idea of Nigeria is one in which the north is superior and it must always take the lion share of everything. Unfortunately Muhammudu Buhari is the presidential candidate of Bola Tinubu, the self-professed leader of the Yoruba people. It is very obvious they have so much in common - brash, uncreative, unimaginative and false superior air. Contractors such as Chagori and Chagori (C&C) and Afri-Projects Consortium were some of the major beneficiaries of the PTF contracts. The PTF even carried out projects in Military barracks despite the fact that those projects have been provided for in the Ministry of Defence's budget. The Armed Forces PTF was allocated 20% of the PTF funds and with it came more funds to loot and no accountability. In the final analysis it was confirmed that Buhari wasted 135 billion naira of the PTF's 146 billion and all this financial abuse during the time Abacha was waging war against indiscipline and corruption (WAIC). The joke is on Abacha, Buhari and their ilk, and I am laughing out loud, really loud.

Human rights violations brought the civil society in confrontation with the twin towers of terror. Buhari and Idiagbon were ruthless and they disregarded every right, every dignity and ignored every court injunction as they inflicted untold pains on human rights organizations, newspapers, labour unions, and the community of editors, journalists, writers, reporters, and opinion leaders. The twin towers were right and we were all wrong and as such detained - kept away for as long as their lordships wanted. It has often been speculated that the reason why Buhari terminated a democratic government was to give him the opportunity to remove the documents relating to the missing Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) missing $2.8 billion. For reasons relating to the missing $2.8 billion, Buhari detained, intimidated, jailed and abused people at will. His detention camps were flung open by his successor and the whole world was shocked beyond believe that a human being will go to any extent to dehumanize other human beings for no reason at all. The unfortunate traveler and the other tower in the Buhari dictatorship, Tunde Idiagbon was no doubt the honest and decent of the two men. Idiagbon was a disciplined soldier who got into a ride with a crooked driver behind the wheels.

There is no doubt in my mind that General Mohammudu Buhari failed in every area of assessment. He lacks the temperament to tolerate democratic culture, he is poorly educated and lack the creative, analytical and strategic thinking required leading a nation like Nigeria. It is true Buhari had gunned his way into power in Nigeria before, essentially an accident of history that should never have happened. He may be qualified to lead the Caliphate but even then the days of the Caliphate have receded into the footnotes of history. Buhari was a soldier who disobeyed his commander in chief and forcefully removed an elected government from office. Besides lacking the moral authority and shared values required of a democratic leader, Buhari's antecedent as minister in the petroleum ministry where funds disappeared and later as chairman of the Petroleum Trust Funds where cases of widespread corruption and sectionalism were rampant necessarily made it imperative to disqualify this former tower of terror.

I am not angry about anything here. I just hope Sheyi will do the right thing with this challenge. You can also follow my own challenge that started earlier in January on my blog. I am not able to post links but the site is abayomiajedotcom/blog. Remove the dotcom and replace it with.com.

2sexy:
I hope Abayomi Aje does not get angry if he sees you doing this
because I know where you are heading with this 

The news may not be true but people who are insulting glo ( maybe for saving us from MTN is cheating ways ) are proper idiots who need some education. How can you all forget how MTN was cheating us before GLO came in?

The tariffs are as low as N20 per minute today cos GLO came in yet you people will see nothing good in them.

SHAME, BIG SHAME.

New Angel:
your contribution & advice is highly neede pls, i am just so confused & dont know exactly wot 2 do. Dis story of mine is SOMEHOW 2 d hearin & i want u my ppl 2 tell me exactly wot i shd do.
I am a young lady of 27yrs of age, tall, black @ list physically ok, i av a frend dat is of d same age wt me, we av been frends since childhood, we did almost evrytin 2geda, we were very close 2 d xtend dat we do nt hide anytin 4rm each other, & we stays 2geda as friend since finish 4rm d university & now workin,.
Dis my frend as a boyfrend dat loved her wholehrtedly, bt cos my frend noticed dat dis guy really loved her, she is now takin d guy 4 granted, my frend is also avin an affairs outside, dis guy knew, but always believe she will change as time goes on.
On my own part, i realise dat d person i was datin is even married wt 2 kids, in which he was hiding 4rm me, bt i decided 2 quit, d day i knew he was a family man, so one faithful day, my frend's boyfrend came 2 our house at nite, where i stays wt my frend, & my frend was going out dat nite wt her other boyfrend, so she told her boyfrend dat she was going out, & dat if he likes he can stay ovenite meanwhile dat i shd take very good kia of him 4 her. D boyfrend was very annoid, he stood on d floor & startd crying watchin her so called woman going out at nite wt anoda man.
I decided 2 plead on behalf of my frend, but instead of dis guy 2 stop cryin, he cried d more, b/4 we cud realise it, it was 12.00am in d mid-nite, so d guy decided to sleep in our one room apartment
In d middle of d nite, i noticed d guy on top of me & b/4 i cud realise it, i found out dat tinss has gone out of hand, D GUY MADE LUV 2 ME DAT NITE.

Wen my frend returned d foolowin day, she ask after d guy & i told her dat d guy slept in our house, so my frend said ok. instead of my frend to go 2 d guy's house d followin day 2 beg him, she decided 2 stay believin d guy will still come back 2 her.
I was so ashamed of myself 2 d xtend dat i culdnt tell my frend wot happend btw me & her boyfrend dat nite.
A month after, i noticed i had missed my period, meanwhile my frend knows dat i was not havin anybody i was datin at dat period, so i decided 2 wait till d following month, so as to be sure of wot was happeinig.
After two (2) month of not seen my period, i decided to visit a nearby clinic where it was confirmed dat i was two (2) month pregnant, wen i got home dat day, my frend realise somtin was wrong wt me, she ask me, & i told her dat i was peregnant, but i culdnt open up, later i decided to go to my frends boyfrend house & i told him evrytin, 2 my greatest surprice, he threthend me not to touch his pregnancy, & dat if i shd, he will sue me to court

I am confused, i dont know wot to do pls ppl tell me, wot shd i do?

I may be wrong but this story is from a Yoruba film on Magic Africa, If it is not then it is too close ( my brain tells me this is another popularity seeking post on Nairaland).

Seems my prophescy is coming to pass with Siasias trying to lull this guy to play for Nigeria.

i will never vote for pdp at any level jonathan is mad and a very useles human man (all south east university are on 4month old strike he said nofin about dat)
my school olabisi onabanjo univsity has bin on strike for mor dan 3month he was even in ogun state last 2 wik he said nofin about it.
Him and gbenga daniel will neva have peace all d days of their life and forever more amen.i will faint if PDP win ogun state in d nest election

my broda, don't mind him. Even my wife has refused to cook my food since yesterday and Mr president has said 'nofin' about it. what a wicked man

I feel I should say one or two things here about my experience with Lecky Konsult International,owned by Mr. Hafiz Lecky.
My experience with him is pathetic and frightening to say the least. Yes, the guy knows the internet stuff - especially adsense - but he has no integrity and extremely poor customer service. I absolutely cannot recommend him to anybody after what I went thro; 5 months back!

What he and his team do is to set up the same ''very useless'' websites to as many Nigerians as possible while they will only change the domain name. These websites are not hacker-proof and have poor, overcrowded graphics that even world renowned internet marketers like Erwin Chia, Corey Lewis will never make a dime from these pathetic websites in the next 100 yrs!!! And you would have paid N10,500 or even N15,000! When you tell him that the site has not earned anything for the past months, he will ask you to go to paid version by ordering articles. But this also will not work and he now tells you to start spamming social network media. This works partially and you earn a few cents. When you complain that the amount earned cannot even feed a dog, he again asks you for money to drive traffic to your site. This works fine, but at the end of the day, Google disables your account fiam!! And you start calling and calling him for refund all to no avail.

I got fed up of calling him and had to resign myself to fate after losing almost N50K and my account of $200 was disabled. My account was actually disabled twice!!!

But the thing is, contrary to all his Guardian Newspaper claims of '', a potential $1500 - $2500 monthly'' Lecky himself has never earned a monthly check of $1000 from Google! I hereby challenge him to contradict my assertion by replying with an attached copy of his Google check for $1000 Of course, he has no such checks!!

The guy has zero integrity and very horrible customer service. And this also goes for his team of Gbenga, Obodo Onuwa, Jesse and one silly ''amoeba'' lady called Comfort. They are all one and the same set of cheaters!!

I was later introduced to Abayomi Aje and I can tell the difference. Abayomi knows the stuff and he has 100% integrity as he does not promise what he cannot deliver.

For those looking for Lecky's address, I'm told that he has moved from the Olalowo Shopping Complex, Ipaja to a new office at Abule Egba at a new petrol station called Petroleum Managers. I'm actually surprised that Sunny Ojeagbase, CEO, SDE rates him so high. But guys, be careful - CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Thanks for the mention. Just doing my best but that does not mean I don't have my own weaknesses. I got to know about this thread just about 5 minutes ago when someone said he got my contact from here and I had to do a google search to find out.

Thanks once again for the mention but can you please let me know who you are? A direct mail will do as I hardly come here ( except to read jokes ).

All I can say to you is thanks for the mention. I am only doing my best to make the best out of the talent God has given me. Thanks man.

YEARS of FIFA’s deceit has finally caught up with it in its relations with
Nigeria, a country that FIFA treats with the lowest standards when it
matters in implementing its statutes. For decades, Nigerians have appealed
for FIFA to intervene in government’s wholesale administration of football
in Nigeria.

FIFA hid behind its fingers, refusing to admit that Decree 101 that ran
Nigerian football from 1992 and still exists as a Nigerian law was
interference. In summary, this law says the Minister of Sports has the
final say in administration of football in Nigeria.

It might just be the law that the Minister of Sports could rest on in
effecting the changes that the Federal Government want in Nigeria
football. FIFA lived with this law for 18 years and cannot suddenly reject
it.

Concerned Nigerians cried to FIFA about this. The same Sepp Joseph
Blatter, whether as Secretary-General or FIFA President knew about Decree
101. What did he do then?

Talks of FIFA banning Nigeria or expelling it from football have been on
the lips of corrupt, incompetent and lazy football administrators whose
only response to charges that they should lead the country through better
standards has been to wave the FIFA ban as if this country cannot survive
without football.

FIFA is unconcerned about the incompetence of the Nigeria Football
Association represents. It remains deaf to allegations of theft of public
funds, money that belongs to Nigerians. FIFA is not bothered that the NFA
wantonly disregards the same Statutes that FIFA claims government is
violating when it asks the NFA operates with a measure of decency.

Does FIFA know how much the Nigerian government spends (wastes) on
football annually? Does it know that the NFA refuses to democratise its
operations?

Would FIFA say it has not received complaints that the State Football
Associations in Nigeria are not elected but appointed contrary to Article
21 (5) of the NFA Statutes.

According to Article 21 (5), “State Executive Committee: a) Each State
Football Association shall be composed of twelve (12) persons, four (4)
elected from each senatorial district made up as follows: Chairman, 2 Vice
Chairmen, 9 Ordinary Members b) All the above officers shall be elected at
the Annual General Assembly of the State Football Association”.
No State meets these criteria as State FAs are appointed, not elected,
and do not reflect the geo-political and democratic opportunities of the
NFA Statutes. The NFA Board which FIFA recognises, apparently based on the
Statutes, is inherently illegal. Complaints to FIFA about these matters
are ignored, probably an indication of the opaque way FIFA operates.

Corruption and a huge does of incompetence have ruined Nigerian football.
FIFA encouraged the ruination of Nigerian football over the years by
refusing to pay attention to the complaints that flowed regularly into its
offices in Zurich. Its concern over Nigeria, in this instance, is that a
proper investigation of the comatose state of the game in Nigeria would
indict FIFA.

Right from the cases of over-aged players that NFA officials promote, to
the scandals of thefts and undemocratic tendencies, FIFA would issue
warnings that government was interfering.

By our laws, the Nigerian government can ask the NFA to account for public
money it spends. FIFA calls this interference. The $8 million earned for
qualifying for the World Cup is not NFA’s money, it belongs to Nigerians
who expect that the NFA should account for it. FIFA also sees this as
interference.

Was FIFA not embarrassed by the poor standards of local organisation that
attended the FIFA U-17 Championship in Nigeria last year under the
superintendence of the NFA? What did it do about the construction of
pitches that floated at the drop of the rains? Or the low quality of
services availed the teams?

Blatter and his colleagues in Zurich might not have heard that the
competence of the NFA led Nigeria to pay a fine of $125,000 for breaching
accommodation contract in South Africa for the Eagles. Why did FIFA not
query Nigerian officials for ignoring its official World Cup hotel for the
Eagles?

FIFA says the NFA election should go ahead, as usual, ignoring complaints
about policies that the NFSA adopted to exclude other contestants from the
polls. Some of the measures were the deadlines set for the collection and
submission of forms, all of which were to be concluded while the
responsible football officials were in South Africa for the World Cup.
FIFA rated the brazenness of this move adequately democratic.

The Federal Government should be more far reaching in implementing this
decision. Measures to ensure that football is better organised must be
effected in the two year duration. One area that should get attention is
the re-structuring of the system for players to access the national teams,
especially the junior teams, which should be nurseries, but which corrupt
NFA officials fill with men on the verge of retirement.

It is expected that at the end of the self ban, Nigerian football would
have improved. Hopefully too, FIFA should have cleansed itself of
interference, through negligence, of Nigerian football.

Threats of expulsion from FIFA should not stop the Federal Government from
rescuing Nigerians from the vice grip of a football administration that is
so soaked in incompetence that it gleefully led Nigeria to its worst
Nations Cup performance in 26 at the 2008 edition in Ghana and while it
was at it, its Chairman ensured that his posters were pasted in Kumasi.

Nigerians surely deserve better standards of football administration than
the mediocrity that FIFRA supported over the years with Decree 101.

sealworld:
For Saying such against Eyeama, you are not only short-sighted but suffering from a combination of two serious brain infection of all time [size=30pt]Kaitalocosis and Mutallabsis,[/size] Eyeama who is highly rated and have saved the collapse defense structure from goals. the lazy chickens played well untill your uncle [size=20pt]KAITA[/size] messed up. Therefore he should take the full weight of is dubious error .

You have problem and your problem is the inabiity to read and understand simple English and the inability to think on your own. I said Vicent doesn't deserve to play for the Eagles as he deserve something better than the Eagles, is that too hard to understand?

Some people are so stupid that they can not think aright. Kaita messed up but did he played the over 70 minutes with the players? Zola was red carded ( almost as he was coming in if I remember ) at USA 94, Mensah of Ghana got a red card against us yet they defeated us. Be sincere to yourselves, did the idiotic super ducks ( think of a bird that can't run and doesn't fly at all or hardly flies and only ducks don't run and hardly fly ) deserve to win?

Did they played like someone who have brains or who knows the meaning of the world cup? We blame Kaita but why not the people ( I am sure the coaching would not have made that decision on his own ) who selected him ( Kaita ) just so we have a player from every of the 3 major tribes in Nigeria.

Why will the coach go to a tournament without at least 2 utility players? Why did the coach keeping playing Kaita in his matches when it was obvious that he is doing nothing ( let's not forget that he was rubbish before the red card ). Who is Ayiegbeni and why must he play all the matches we feature in even though a blind man who is merely listening to commentary will agree that he is rubbish?

Let's be sincerely to ourselves, the Eagles performance shows the right state of the country. No one wants to do something for the country. MTN the useless good for nothing South African company sponsored 62 senators to South Africa but how much have they helped this country? Would they have sponsored the senators to implement the Uwaise or whoever reports?

Believe it or not, this country is one in decline and the blame is on all of us and not just Kaita. It is so shameful that people will go about trying to defend the ages of our players when we all know that they are all old fathers. If you tell a Nigerian that our so called under 17 are well over 17 years of age the reply will be the whites also do it but we now see the difference. The Greeks' average age was way higher than the average football age of the Nigerians yet they ran faster, what does that tell someone who has some brains in him or her?

Who are the mothers and fathers of these player? How were they bought up? When we won 3 brozen medals ( correct me if the number isn't up to 3 ) at sydney Olympics in 2002, were the athletes celebrated? But when Chukwu Mereje's son won a simple broze medal was he not celebrated as though he has done something that no one has ever done?

Kaita messed up but the whole team are idiots and it is high time we replaced them with John Obuh's boys who themselves are already over aged. Bar Eyeama who in my opinion does not deserve to be playing for a country as ours he deserve something better

This is the stupidest thread yet!

One tries to kill a plane full of innocent people and the other loses a fccccuking football game and you think it's the same thing??!! Misplaced Priorities . . . This is why Nigeria and Nigerians are a mess.

It's really sad to see ignorance displayed so openly and proudly too.

I agree with you. The person who started this thread is just be a super fool.

I can offer you a job that will pay you well if you can write in good English. Call me at 07039824993. My name is Abayomi Aje and if you are scared, that I am a scammer then please go get the March 15 edition of success digest to read my interview there or google abayomi aje.

What I need is for us all to attack the idiot and make him know not all Nigerians are scammers. The fool even went as far as saying I am still into scams. I wish I can see him face to face, he needs some lesson.

Do mind the title, it is just to get attention

I need the help of nairalanders who are true Nigerians to deal with a very arrogant and idiotic American ( not saying all Americans are idiotic and arrogant, I have friends who are Americans and have never issues with them ).

There is this guy on yahoo answers who is attacking me and accusing me of being a scammer mainly because someone asked a question and he said the scam is coming from Nigeria when it is obvious that is make be coming from another part of the world.

What I want Nigerians to do is to answer the question and defend our country. It is true that scams come out of Nigeria but not all of us are scamsters and not all scams on the internet is done by Nigerians.

We have just 1 day to attack this .
