Let's  Declare A State Of Emergency On Nigerian Football  - Football Stakeholders Appeal To NFF




Akinkunle Bolarinwa


Football stakeholders are calling the Nigerian Football Federation to declare a state of emergency on the nation's football because of the incessant problems and challenges confronting the game.


According to them, the way all Nigerian national teams are playing, many Nigerians could lose faith in the country’s football.


They told Apexmedia2020.blogspot.com that the last time any national team made Nigeria proud is still in the 90s.


Therefore they are calling on NFF to declare a state of emergency in Nigerian football starting from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) to various national teams if the country wants to get it right.


The stakeholders suggested that the NFF must ensure that Nigerian coaches must upgrade themselves by going for refresher courses to understand modern day football.


Mohammed abdulqadir a football stakeholder said, "Nigeria is annoying to watch before even listening to commentary on radio without necessarily watching when we hear  "Taribo to Oliseh,oliseh send the ball to Finidi we all know who gets the Ball next and we hear the goal".


" Nowadays we just hear Balogun send the ball to Osimehen  ooh Lesotho defence intersect, Zaidu to Paul ooohh.... Malaysia's defence intersects....Chad dribbles and Ndidi shoots from centre ....ooohhh!!! Uzoho is beaten in the goal post".


They said that there is nothing inspiring in all the national teams again because all of them are wobbling and fumbling.


"Please let's do the needful and clear national teams of shaft players and get serious ones".

NPFL - STARTIMES DEAL: MALLAM SHUAIBU GARA GOMBE MISLEADING THE SPORTS INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

NPFL - STARTIMES DEAL: MALLAM SHUAIBU GARA GOMBE MISLEADING THE SPORTS INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA My attention is seriously drawn to the fact that Mallam Gara Gombe clearly shows in his recent submission to the Guardian that he has ill interests and it isn't only about fighting for the interest of local football but also trying to show that he deserves to be the one leading Nigerian football through his open statements against the NPFL leadership he referred to as illegitimate in one of his recent releases. Remember, "what is good for the goose is also good for the garner." It is a fact he desires to get to the top of football leadership in Nigeria and he might feel at this point he alone has the monopoly of football administrative knowledge. Wouldn't you expect others to deliberately begin to employ similar tactics to topple your leadership too?  Gara Gombe said; quote: "Because Nigeria is a dumping ground you illegally appoint people to manage a league they know nothi...
