African Football Discussion Thread: {Current Topic: 👉 NFF incompetence}

[Spaceman1000$]

I thought President Bola Tinubu sacked the full NFF board a time ago, or was it just a rumour. I wished the FIFA body could send their worker's to investigate the NFF and NPFL Management to uncover their level of corruption and mismanagement. They owe player's salary, we don't have a world standard FIFA approved stadium, the structure of the local league is poor, and so many other things. Yet this same NFF receives allocation from FIFA, and the competitions they participate in, but we the football fans can't account on what they used the money for. EFCC should have arrested the management boards. Every working sector in this country are corrupt and it's not easy to end. The football in Nigeria needs properly restructuring, before we can regain our stability back in the football world.

Every sector in this bola Tinubu led administration is rotten to it root, so am not too surprised of how corrupt the Nigerian NFF is. If we had a leader as president that really knows his job or what he is doing, all this NFF officials should have been arrested and prob, but they wouldn't be held accountable to anything because the clueless government doesn't even know what they are doing.

Recently the president used his influence to ask the leadership of the NFF to resign by threatening them with EFCC cases, since they all have skeletons in their cupboard,  they all resigned including the chairman, if not that position is always an elective position, so they could have stood their ground. The entering committee that the president has appointed that are over seeing their fears of the NFF, I'm so far been gradually taking responsibility, it is now their mess to clean up, I trust me it will take a little longer before we will begin to see any tangible results in the NFF administration.

Boss, do you think we, the ordinary fans have a say over this matter? This is Nigeria, not abroad where they listen to their fans but here in Nigeria our voices do not count at all. How can we even take matter into our hands? Is it through protest?

We don't understand the power we got as fans. what's the game without rhe fans? if we decided not to watch the games anymore by not coming to the stadium or protesting and the game doesn't hold until something is done, you don't think things will change? I'm talking about strong protest like the "End Sars"  own that brought about some level of change in the police. If we can pull off the same thing whenever there's a game in the county, you'll see what'll happen. The Federal government will have to step in to save their face and we might've done something at least. With that we tried instead of hot dosing anything at all. What I don't still understand is the fans going to watch the genesis in the stadium, just imagine if the stadium is empty as a form of protects, all this can go a long way instead of not doing anything.

I swear to God if I was the president of Nigeria, I would have order every person in both NFF and NPFL to arrested and thrown into jail, if they are found guilty of their crime after thorough investigation. Seize all the property they use the money stolen from the NFF account. I might even give them life imprisonment. I think it's time for the President to appoint past players to take over that position,I think they understand what it meant to run an organisation. We missed 2 back world cup qualification, last time we won AFCON was in 2013 and our local league looks like an Amateur league. This is a poor job done by the NFF . Hopefully we get a competent person to restructure that organisation or association.

Leadership is not done based on emotions which is why the president would never act that way. The NFF leadership is not by appointment either because the leadership is also an elected positions. Asking everyone of them is the best approach he could use because he understands that he may also need some of them in other areas. It's all politics and even the president understands that looting and corruption will be difficult to quench in the NFF.

If the president wants to be smarter, he can still go after them after the next leadership has taken over. He can prove them based on accounts and some shady transactions of which evidence will always be there. Politics is not a very good thing and has taken over the electoral process. Fans should be more interested in getting a better NFF executives than focusing on the outcome executives.
