Omo what you're talking about is a bitter sad truth which speaks volume about how corrupt our Nigerian sports administration especially within the NFF which if you look at it deeply you will agree with me it is just a reflection of corrupt the entire political system of the country is as a whole.

The question is can this corruption be stopped? I don't think so and it won't stop because they are making huge money and sharing it within themselves. These people are not just ordinary people, they are in cult of same feathers and they have their grand master that is ready to support their evil deeds. Since we might not be able to fight these people all we have to do it to talk about their wickedness and how they had been falling the beautiful dreams of young talented athletes.

Corruption be reduced but we need to keep exposing them and if the government wants to stop it they will make them pay for their crimes and then you can see people who are given an appointment do what they are given money to do until then we will never see any change in the system. The funny part of the story that has been flying the air is that the then NFF president that was paid the money has gone on air to say all sorts of rubbish, imagine someone who was paid $1.2m to build a stadium coming to say that covid affected the project big shame.

I just saw the news that the Super Falcons have qualified for WAFCON 2026. I’m so proud of these girls and what they are doing for women’s football in Nigeria. It’s comforting to know that you can always rely on the Super Falcons to make us proud. If it were possible I’d have transferred some of the players to the men’s squad lol.

When it comes to African women's football, the super falcons always perform well home and abroad, putting Nigeria and Africa at large on the map. I am happy the super falcons have qualified for WAFCON 2026 but i am not surprised because i knew they would qualify for WAFCON 2026. It is better to rely on the super falcons over the super eagles because they hardly disappoint when it comes to winning trophies. Be careful of what you wish for because you can transfer some super falcons players to the super eagles team, and they can end up performing below your expectations.

Let us at least talk, maybe in the womb of time, something significant will happen. FIFA cannot say they are not aware of this crime commited by NFF, yet they've been turning a blind eye. Today Nigeria struggles to qualify for tournaments, because most youths that would have channel their energy in football to improve our football quality, have no opportunity to do so. I heard NFF and the former chairman have been releasing statements and counter state to justify their crime, but we believe, going forward, things might likely change.

FIFA is aware of the corrupt situations happening within the NFF, but what are they meant to do if the news is already in the public domain and the Nigerian government is doing nothing about it, and it is not within FIFA's power to dismiss or appoint officials within the NFF-  In a normal country fighting corruption, the evidence in public places would be enough to imprison the NFF chairman and everyone else involved in this case, but in Nigeria, the Presidency and Senate would simply turn a blind eye because they have all benefitted from the corrupt system.

This is only going to hurt our football and sports in general and it already has and this is only going to get worst with time.

In the face of open criticism doesn't change them from being more corrupt, give them another opportunity to correct their wrong, it will still go under the same pretense of corruption, the news has been circulating even after FIFA used it as official profile, what has been said concerning the progress and how the budget was spent, they know what they did is bad but keep doing it, after all it is only online we can say our minds, any institution trying to help Nigerian should better lock up.

Done with wishes. We just have punks killing our sports while they enrich themselves at the end of the day.  They're the only group you can fully back up and expect some good news. Congratulations to them. We all know they turn up and give their best for the country. Not just with football but also the basketball sides, they have upped their game lately as they should have been with the super eagles.

The super Falcons are the only ones that i do not often get scared about their chances of qualification and when i see that they have already qualified, i didn't get really surprised because i always expect on the best from them and i was sure to a very good extent that they are not going to disappoint. I always wish that some day the Super Eagles will some day be this proficient in African football such that they will not have to struggle to qualify for competitions the way they do recently. I will be even more proud when i see that the super eagles eventually get to this point such that both the Super Falcons and the Super Eagles are getting it right without too many stress and giving their fans and the nation at large the confidence in them again. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SUPER FALCONS.

It's just a joke, you're supposed to know that, no way that we can bring in the Super Falcons to the Super Eagles because both teams strengths are not on the same level. The Super Eagles are F**king up to say, that's the reason why the joke is being cast on them to act up to avoid being taken as the women, those who are weak,  while our Super Falcons are taken the real men of the Super Eagles.

Since we might not be able to fight these people all we have to do it to talk about their wickedness and how they had been falling the beautiful dreams of young talented athletes.

The corruption have been there for long the issue now is that is affected almost every sector, if they are not making money from it they won't have venture into that act or they are been punished and there is transparency on how the funds are spent and the thing is getting out if hand because there target is how they will get rich always, it clearly shows they don't have anything in interest, and the government needs to take all this act, should be punishable and it is by law because corruption is like a sin to the society, its all a matter of time.

It is true that "evil begat evil" so I am not surprised if they infiltrate the system with their co colleagues because only them understand their corrupt language and practices. It is not a new thing though because every corrupt officials would always want to cover their tracks by making sure their successors are of the same boat as they are so that nobody can be able to bring to boil and this has been the system of our leadership and it has eaten deep into the system that it will be very difficult to stop.

Talking isn't enough, actions have to be taken. Other countries have reform their corrupt systems so we can do the same. We have to stop being afraid that things aren't going to work out and start trying to improve our already corrupt systems. There's no lie that the cartel goes dipper than we can think about because the whole system is corrupt that's even impossible to try to do something different but that doesn't mean something can't be done to change things. If we can get a fair election and remove the people in power than we can begin to see changes from this institutions. It's because the whole electoral process in the country is corrupt is why this corruption is affecting other sectors.

FIFA is aware of how the NFF embezzled the $1.2 million meant for the construction of a stadium in Nigeria, and they don't have the power to change the NFF governing body because there is no rule that allows FIFA to change the football govering body of any country; it is the Nigerian government that has the right to change the NFF governing body and decide the fate of the NFF governing body as their evil deeds has surfaced online, but the Nigerian government will not do anything to the NFF governing body because they are birds of the same feather and they flock together. The super eagles has the players to win most of the matches they played, but the behaviour of the NFF is making them not to give their all when playing for the super eagles.

Do not forget that these cartels know what they are doing and would make more worse decisions when they know that they don't have opposition that can make them think twice before making any decisions that will affect and lead to more embezzlement of public funds. Crazy things are going to happen when people don't talk about their wickedness and how they choose to dominate the football industry doing anything they like without any sanction or penalty.

The Super Falcons remains the number one in Africa no cap so you should not be surprised seeing them qualifying for the
WAFCON 2026 because they are the best and no team can stop them from making it to the competition. It is impossible to transfer the ladies to the male side but you can hope and pray that some day the Super Eagles will get back to the best team they used to be in the past so they don't struggle much to qualify for any compensation, big congratulations to them ladies they keep making us proud.

Thankfully the Super Falcons have become our solace when we think about how the super eagles  are falling our hands by not living up to expectations, we are sure that falcons will always qualify no matter what. A big congratulations to these women that have made us proud to qualify for WAFCON, they have always given reasons to continue to believe that Nigeria, is still rated in African football, that is in the women's competion. I wish them the very best in the competition proper and I won't be surprised if they lift gold again, it won't be a new thing judging from their past performances.

It is not a new thing that corruption is everywhere but I think it's worse with these people that called themselves leaders and committees for national football association. They are evil people and they don't fail to make proper planning to funds embezzlement. They can divert any money that is meant for payment, development and services for sport related events. I hope their manipulate would not last long.

Sometimes I wonder how they feel after exhibiting these act of theirs. The thing that baffles me most is how they plot out their strategies and go unnoticed for a while and nobody can be able to detect it and in some cases such act is not detected. They are master at their embezzling games and nobody can do anything because they have their men everywhere in the system so you are wasting your time if you go report them to any authority instead you are endangering your life.

Why do you care more about what the cartels are doing?! One should be focused on how to stop this corrupt system and not what the cartels are doing and not doing. I honestly do not expect much from these system, you don't expect shit from such a system where the heads are bloody corrupt. The presidency, judiciary and house of senate are no different. This current government no different from dictatorship,  they will frustrate you. The only way is to directly target those looting these funds. It's either we end them or they end the talents present and in the future.

You are very wrong if you feels that no body is aware of what they have been doing over the years, we as Nigerians are aware of it and due to how corruption the system is, people are afraid to speak up because the head, which is from the president of the federation, to the Senate president are the worst and most corrupt politicians ever, so it would be just like you are reporting their boys to them, and you might be targeted, which automatically puts your life at risk, so these are the reason most people are quiet, not that they are not aware of the massive corruption going on in our Nigerian football federation.

I won't say people aren't noticing the corruption but there's nothing anybody can do because corruption is everywhere but just that ours is too much. At least the whites or other African continent put some human sympathy in their stealing and try to do something for the sport but  ours, they embezzle all the money and not show any workings.

Atleast if they had done somethings with the money, the condition of our fields and training equipment won't had been this bad as they're. The stadium aren't being maintained properly and it's causing discomfort for both players and viewers.

The money meant for maintenance is being shared among the cartels therefore since everybody there is a part of the scam, nobody opposed them and this has being continuous for many years and not ending anytime soon.
