Toro Opposes NFF On Naira Salary Condition To Rohr For Contract Extension

@Ola, it is good to engage a well exposed educated guy like you in view of your background, it shows in you , other could have as usual would rather heap insult to their fellow Nigerians because of their lack of exposure and as they claimed in their upbringing they do kick their elders in a bin forgetting that what elders like Big Segun Odegbami would see afar , if a youth (particularly the lazy ones ) climb on top of the tree , he would not see .but we have to tolerate such character, if they claimed here that is how they treat elders in their clan , then we may have to pardon them as leopards don’t change their skins even if they could not realize that , this is a public forum where they are not relating to their clan elders they claimed are used being kicked into the dustbin but are dealing with sets of civilized youths and civilized elders who listen and take correction to the word of elders without such animalistic way of life .

Back to your brilliant analysis, it is true , it is  a word of choice , the piper dictates it’s tune , it is either you take it or leave it , in aviation industry where I am also quality and safety engineer, English language is the universal acceptance language recognized by all the civil aviation authorities be it in Germany, Canada, Russia , China etc and $ is also mode of payment, so employer vs employe & Seller vs buyer are at the liberty to want to protect the value of his country’s currency and language respectively. All the Russia model aircraft maintenance and operations instructions are written in Russia language, so you either buy it and be at the mercy of the Russia engineers for the aircraft maintenance  or you go for others models like France’s Airbus series , Canadian’s CRJ series that have language flexibility same applies in USA it is either you accept Dollar or forget it , same goes to Canada, it has to be Canadian Dollar likewise in UK , it is  Pound sterling, it is more reason their currency value are stable ( in the world of football too it is the same , in premiership, it is the government policy , the transfer, salary are in £ , in Germany its € in USA it is $ ) so why would NFF not carry out our government policy to protect our Naira ?  China sold railway to Nigeria and insist in written the maintenance instruction in china language, we could not protest so I don’t see any issues in all the new condition given oga Rohr . With the level of your football administrative knowledge, or  working exposure, have you ever seen anywhere in the world where an employee or football Coach in particular would sign a contract that gives him liberty to be living in his home country and yet be getting full salary at the end of the month , it can only happen in Nigeria ( except on contract where you pay when there is task , job or problem to solve , that is pay as you go ) for an average coach like oga Rohr & NFF to have signed such ridiculous contract for 4 years !! ( not even a word class coach like Pep of JM would dictate such ridiculous contact , it should even interesting you that Mourinho is mandated to be in an office where Levy would be seeing him every moment and of course , it is understatement if we say JM sleeps in his office , always on his toes , yesterday he almost risked his life, embarking on training against the current lockdown in UK just to keep his jobs , but our average coach Rohr who has never won a tea cup in his coaching career signed agreement with NFF in August 2016 at a time his last 3 jobs not only ended in being sacked by Gabon , Niger and Burknafaso respectively but with very disgraceful performance that should have resorted being demoted as assistant coach if he should be employed at all .

So my dearest brother, it is only those that doesn’t follow Nigerian football Administration for years that would be surprised with oga Toro’s reaction , as there was never any differences in the management style of the past administrations to the current ( it is like PDP/ APC , no differences in NFF leadership  ) . It is either money have been swallowed by the snakes in the glass house or unpaid backlog salary for our local coaches to ensure they fail so as to get alibi to travel in search of average or 3rd rated coaches like oga Rohr who cannot compete favourably with our local coach Amunike, Siasia late Keshi , late Amodu if given the same good working condition and a steady uninterrupted salary as in the case with oga Rohr for the past 4 years .

If Super eagles were to be your personal business, in all honesty , my dearest brother,would you have run it the way it is being run by the NFF, without sacking them and hand them over to EFCC for questioning of the criteria used in engaging a failed coach whose greatest  country coaching  achievement at the time of his employment was crashing out at the Afcon quarter final with Gabon as a host nation and a shameful performance in his last 2 jobs as F9 rated coach , yet our NFF did not engage him as assistant coach but Technical Adviser with $30k . Now my dearest brother, won’t you ask the criteria used in picking great Coach for Nigeria then , because , evaluation  of coach is based on his achievement in his last 3 jobs . Please see below oga Rohr score cards then before Employement:

1. Gabon 2010–2012 (8win,5Draw,6Loss: Rating:42% ( below average P, let my people go )
2. Niger 2012-2014( 3 win , 7 Draw, 13 Loss) Rating: 13% F9
3. Burkinafaso 2015-2015(3win,3Draw 5Loss) Ratings:27% F9
Above were the above woeful last 3 jobs scored card as F9 rated coach before being engaged after his sack and was not only given $30k per month but signed very ridiculous contract with NFF to be working from his home country in Germany ( May be all the players were playing in the Germany league and those poor youths  in Nigeria league are no longer citizens of Nigeria) .

As if that Employement was not bad enough , the NFF set a ridiculous target of semifinals either right or wrong, ( right because having evaluated his score cards prior to employment, NFF knew the highest he could achieve was semifinals) expectedly the man crashed out to superior coaching skill of not an expatriate but local coach of another country in the semifinals and gladdening  competed for 3rd place match , it was great achievement for Rohr an F9 rated coach whose previous best was quarterfinals, the NFF would later turned logic on his head , rewarding a bronze medallist ( that our coaches Chairman Chukwu, Eguafon etc were ashamed of achieving in their time ) with upward salary increment of not 10,20 but $40% to $50k from 30k for a wining 3rd place match!!  What percentage would he have been given if he were to win Sliver beyond his adjudged capacity , NFF would shamelessly recommended for him to go for training under experienced coach to improve on the lapses seen in him at the two tournaments and that the cost implications , should be paid by NFF !! But thank God , a new sports minister came in and they dared not release money for such waste on a supposed “Technical Adviser “ that was not employed as Technical adviser trainee ; both the irrational increment of $40% and the initial proposed training outside the country where it would  have been fully paid for by NFF with training allowance, is nothing but economy sabotage, in view of the fact that a local coach who took S/E that failed to qualify for previous Afcon as Rohr ,surpassed set target and won Afcon cup but our unfortunate NFF who never supported our local coaches to succeed were too dazed to give a gold medallist local coach Keshi  $1 increment but would eagerly increased Mr Bronze medalist $40% from $30k to $50k . What was the late Keshi offence ? We should ask NFF, perhaps, why would he go beyond his set target and win Afcon even with backlog of unpaid salary?   If Nigeria did not kill corruption, Corruption will kill Nigeria .

We should even thank oga Rohr that , this time around , he refused further “awful” increment in the new contract , we should also thank him for showing enough consideration for Nigeria to have signed agreement that would make him leaving his esteemed family in his country to always be on an uneasy 6 hours long flying hours each time Nigeria have home matches rather than insisting that all S/E homes matches should be moved to his home country, since all his players are based in overseas.  

In my submission, just let us be watching our past NFF official and the current NFF  acting their films. NFF ‘s current seemed love for country is nothing but after thought to cover their track and avoid prosecution for the ridiculous contract they have signed twice with Rohr . With all indication , they are done with Rohr , but who knows, if they sack Rohr directly, the man may have classified information which may put NFF into trouble. Except Nigeria, all his 3 employers relieved of his job less than 1&half year on each job . In Nigeria, anything goes . Segun Odegbami at early stage had rightly called for his sack after his woeful performance but they didn’t listen, King Kanu Papilo in the recent past said , it was too late for him to be sack , not that Rohr did not deserved being sacked for his woeful performance but the timing was rung because of the qualifying match then , now that Corona virus had helped us , where the qualifying match has been postponed indefinitely, would they have to wait before, it will be too late to sack him ?
As for me o , let us give the same treatment to our local coaches, combinatorial Amunike and Yobo would be a perfect combination with uninterrupted salary with direct supervision by the sports minister, otherwise, NFF would frustrate them with unpaid salary and would not release funds for campaigning and tournament allowance.
