these people are born fools where is ex fotballer there ??
People shouldn’t be called fools.I don’t think you would like to be called a fool.
Having read the article I do not see the need for your fuming to the point of being so abusive,we should learn to show respect at all times.
bro! I respect you and fellow Nigerians definitely not the government or government officials is like nothing ever change I left the country 30 years ago even when we are leaving it hot the economy now is 200 times worst, is like nothing ever change, I never like disrespecting people but why never right people in position, why we keep on doing to our self, that why other continents are laughing at us.
I think NFF was right this time, as the composition is of lawyers who are capable of looking at issues from different angles before making their decisions. The bedrock of their duties has to do with people’s conduct on and off the pitch, so appointing mainly lawyers who could argue out the cases before them and ensuring there is fairness, and equity before judgment is commendable.
my brother! lawyer? football matter is a different level, for an instant, a trailer driver can not just be a train driver, or ship captain to pilot,you will need to train for this, they just need 3 to 4 ex-football to be among them so they know how it feels during their days to the lawyers in the committee or others. what is the point of playing for Nigeria when some of these positions can not be available for them, not all of them made so much money during their playing days.
Financial discipline within the NFF is the greatest problem of Nigerian football
The nff needs to provide accounts of the funds received by Picnic Admin. and address issues of players and coaches wages.
The nff could be the most indiscipline and corrupt football association in the world. It is an act of inducipline to promise coaches what you dont have or owe players wages and expect them to give their best.
This is just an attempt to fool sponsors and make them believe that they have their house in order. Until you prove to the world you’re not PICNIC 2, no top soccer sponsors will take you seriously.
In addition to providing detailed accounts of funds, the NFF should be subjected to quarterly audit.
Normally, audits are done annually, but due to our “special circumstances”, an audit every 3 months may be better for us.
Funds entering NFF coffers should be monitored with hawk-like intensity.
Coaches salaries and players bonuses should be disbursed immediately they’re due. If there is no money to pay coaches and players, then there should also be no money to pay NFF salaries, and no estacode for unnecessary junkets.
This is an disciplinary committee not a coaching job.and the ex international u keep fighting for how many of our ex internationals improve themselves after their playing careers. Most just sit down and wait for nff job’s.
