I guarantee you that.”

WHy didn’t you share the 4 points with Picinic when he was chairman, and capitalize on what you might have achieved
And how do you know he didn’t?
It was up to Pinnick to decide if he wanted to use the points raised or not.
You all seem to forget that Pinnick was the boss (and not Akinwunmi) and therefore, he called the shots and not his vice.
Before they chose any candidate for noble position, check his past record of accomplishments and his truthfulness. If he is found wanting, then his words and promises are nothing to be taken seriously. His vision is highly noted as he articulated them, however, let’s hear what others have to say as the process unfolds.
The problem I have with us as a nation is that we are just not truthful and sincere
Guys make una shine una eyes o. The way wey this bros eyes dey shine like flashlight so…. heeeeeeeeeen! I no trust thos bros o!

I think the solution of Nigeria football delimma then to make developed and incredible football is that new NFF must inact a law which organize Nigerian football this law classified on many items; frist election item, leauge administration, money funding and distribution, age phases and academy situation; administrive corupption; national team administration; clubs development and administration;clubs infarstructure and accommodate their situation that means any club must be a public sharing company has his especial funding, must establish stadium and his attaches(players hostels, jim, swiming pool, attach training pitch, management office); any club must have an academy which provides the club with talented players; any club must fund itself by his company; any club must work in marketing , investment so that they will fund itself.NFF must reorganize Nigetian football premiere leauge that means the leauge must begin in winter on the frist of new year till june; four team must be relegated to a low leauge so that any club must maintain it’s situation and standard; four clubs from low leauge must escalate to a premiere leauge; any club must interact of baning and compating administrative corupption at their offices also NFF also must interact this policy at their offices and their staff and empolyees; the penalty of this corupption is prohibiting administrator and empolyee from hiring in any offcial football job; fining him huge money; any candidate for NFF presidency must have Phd in football administration also must have development programme to develop Nigeria football, combating administrive corupption in Nigeria football; or an international player has an experience in football administration and has a concept to develop Nigeria football.National teams especially Super Eagle must be sponsored by an international company or native buissness men which will put an strong base for SE funding( coaching crew contaraction their wages, bonuses, players bonuses, accomodation, travel tickets, aircraft from their base to other place for example from Nigeria to Algeria or Cameroonon their coming friendlies matches.If NFF apply these policies or this law Nigeria football will return to it’s golory .
