EXPOSED: Desperate NFF officials ‘smuggle’ son of security chief to Golden Eaglets Brazil camp

In yet another desperate bid by embattled Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) bosses to be let off the hook of the various anti-corruption agencies, they have got the son of the country’s top security agency to be part of the Golden Eaglets training camp in Brazil.

The boy, who reportedly schools in Malaysia, was among the second batch of eight players who jetted out to Brazil from Abuja on Friday accompanied by the remaining backroom staff who did not make the first flight on Wednesday.

This “PR stunt” is simply to curry the favour of the top security chief as the NFF chieftains continue to run from pillar to post in their unguarded desperation to escape the long arm of the law.

“It’s a case of using one corruption to cover another corruption,” SCORENigeria was informed.

NFF president Amaju Pinnick, vice presidents Seyi Akinwumi and Shehu Dikko, general secretary Mohammed Sanusi as well as executive committee member Ahmed Yusuf ‘Fresh’ are facing a corruption trial, which will resume on November 5 in Abuja.

They are also being investigated by both ICPC and EFCC on various other corruption allegations.

A top official alleged that one of the accused NFF chieftains was the brain behind the selection of the boy even though he did not deserve to make the squad to Brazil.

“He is at best an average player and should not have been anywhere near the flight to Brazil,” a source informed SCORENigeria

“But the big ogas at the NFF are using all the tricks in the book to stay away from the courts and justice.”

The source added: “He is simply on a short holiday in Brazil all expenses paid by the broke NFF as he won’t make the final squad.”

It was gathered that the boy was often accompanied by several fully suited operatives from his father’s agency to the Goal Project in Abuja when he trained with the Eaglets.

The security operatives will then station themselves in strategic points of the Goal Project to make sure his personal security was not compromised.

The Golden Eaglets will today submit a final 21-man squad for the U17 FIFA World Cup, which begins on October 26 in Brazil.

I wouldn't know....

However, as you can see from the list, Abba Bichi made the cut...
Even though he did not play in the U17 WAFU or U17 AFCON (ie, the U17 WC qualifiers).

Another casualty is the tall midfielder Abdullahi Fawaz...
He often came on as a sub to great effect at the U17 AFCON.

is his son undeserving of the call up? Or are we saying that all children of government officials should be banned from pursuing their dreams until their parents leave office?

[Otitokoro]

He really decimated the AFCON team.
Thought Oduko, Tanko and Ishaya David played well enough to have made the team.
However, a bit shocked the elegant Abdullahi Fawaz didnt make it.
Loved his midfield generalship - he reminded me somewhat of Patrick Viera.
Anyhow...

Another casualty is the tall midfielder Abdullahi Fawaz...

[oyek]

Interesting

[bret- hart]

Nigeria and corruption is like 5 and 6. So that Bichi kid made it after all. Ok o. Meanwhile, Malcolm Ebiowi of Assanal gets dropped despite being wanted by England and Holland. 2 years into the future, Pinnick will go and beg him to pledge his allegiance Nigeria ala Tammy Abraham after he becomes a star. We never learn from past Fuuk ups. smh.

[olu]

I haven't followed the team. Just because Ebowei plays for Arsenal doesn't mean they aren't players better than him? Those who followed the team, do you think Ebowei and the 3 or 4 AFCON regulars were rightly dropped?

[gapped]

Interesting list.
Notable is really a concerted effort to tribalize this team. What you have in this list is 6 Yoruba, 5 Hausa's, 2 Ibo's 4 Niger Delta's etc. So, are we really sure this is the best Nigeria has to offer at this level, or is it based on tribal balance?

Thanks for your response. I think you indirectly answered my question .

[Damunk]

I haven't followed the team. Just because Ebowei plays for Arsenal doesn't mean they aren't players better than him? Those who followed the team, do you think Ebowei and the 3 or 4 AFCON regulars were rightly dropped?

At the youth level, it has always been hard for foreign born/raised kids to displace our local kids. The 'raw' product in Naija is usually far superior.
He isn't the first and he won't be the last.

I think you are overreading things, in which case you have the problem, not the team.

If I ask you exactly what the problem is, I'll be surprised if you are able to tell us without sounding really silly.
So I won't.

Nigeria and corruption is like 5 and 6. So that Bichi kid made it after all. Ok o. Meanwhile, Malcolm Ebiowi of Assanal gets dropped despite being wanted by England and Holland. 2 years into the future, Pinnick will go and beg him to pledge his allegiance Nigeria ala Tammy Abraham after he becomes a star. We never learn from past Fuuk ups. smh.

What if the Bichi boys turns out to be Messi-like ?? Are you going to write an apology to proud PAPA Alhaji Yusuf Magaji Bichi, the new Director General of the Department of State Services.

If he was then why wasnt he noticed all this time? You know damn well his inclusion was not based on any merit whatsoever.

Yea and that is how we lost Ovie Ejaria in the 1st place.

[Otitokoro]

But the fact is you cannot lose what you don't have. He never was Nigeria's in the first place.

Also your ethnic breakdown leaves a lot to be desired

It looks as if the kid was recently expelled from school. He probably didn't observe the regulations worked out by the university authorities.

The Decision on expelling ABBA YUSUF BICHI
2019-06-10

ABBA YUSUF BICHI from Nigeria，passport number A50212963 was expelled from international education school (Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, China) and his VISA canceled due to his serious violation of article 3 of the SYUCT general regulation for international students.
