Like Kongi said, the likes of Keshi, Yekini, JJ, Mikel. Odegbami, the late CCC, Rufai and countless others sweat blood to earn that shirt.

We shouldn’t be ‘understanding’ ie tolerant of this obvious scam, even if we don’t have proof. It should be zero tolerance for rubbish and nonsense.
Left to me, it should be written into the contract of every national team coach that they should defend EVERY call up list AND explain any top omission that needs to be explained in a press conference. Why not?

Nigeria is not a normal country.
Too much shytt happens. Too many corrupt and shameless people calling the shots. Too many compromised standards everywhere.
Crazy situations require crazy rules.
I no go lie, this Tanimu story pains me well well. Imagine , he got SE invite before he even established his quality as a pro when the likes of Keshi were owed $ when they died. It’s now normal for a player to get a SE invite then go back to u20 and we wonder why we’re struggling to qualify for the WC. SE friendlies are now used as training for Chan players. When will it stop? If we don’t know where we’re going we should at least know where we’re coming from. Imagine what the likes of Uche Okechukwu, Taribo, and Babayaro are thinking reading this story. Shame!
OCCUPY NFF!!

LOL. charity begins at home, brother.

Look around you on CE, and see what I have fought against every day for the past 8 years. I am tired! Even this week, you had people supporting a Saudi retirement crap to wear our arm band! The same arm band that the likes of Chukwu, Odegbami, Keshi, Oliseh, JayJay and Mikel wore. That is the same arm band they have boxed and sent to a horrible footballer who is in retirement in Turkey.

These same people disparaged Ogbu and Frederick, so they can exalt Ajayi, a player who was spat at and thrown into the dustbin by West Brom - a sh1t Div 2 club.

We are not ready and we are not serious. We will start being ready and serious when you all join me to call out the people who are enabling in within the fanbase. Lets start from looking around us first! Leave the coach and the NFF alone, turn to your left and turn to your right and shout - "OLEEEEEE!!! THIEFFFFFF!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!" Shame them to submission and once we have done that, together as a group we will go hard against the coach and NFF. Trust me, the only way to fight them is for all of us to be unified TOGETHER and strong. Like Nigerian politicians, they know how to divide us, because that is the only way they can continue with their criminal behavior-- divide and conquer.

For me the issue is consistency. He was called up by a manager who was coaching in the NPFL at the time. He was one of the best players in the NPFL just before his call up. He was an U-20 international. You might not agree with the manager about the quality of NPFL players but he picked one that was one of the best in the league in his position months earlier. So I get why he was picked, even if I would not have picked him.

And no, I do not agree that we should not try to understand people you disagree with. I always try to do so. Sometimes it does not make sense to me, except for fraud, when the local players picked are not even the best in the league.

Look at this rubbish. This guy could not cut it in Tanzania, England 3rd division and now he is in Morocco. Its not as if he was signed by Wyadad or Raja Casablanca but its some obscure league team. Super Eagles is now a cesspool of corruption. This is why we are struggling to qualify for the world cup. Finidi and Eguavoen must be investigated by the EFCC. :boo: :boo: :boo: :boo: :curse:

Should Rohr be investigated? What about Chelle?

And the criminal thieves in our media and fanbase who advocated and supported this disgrace on our national team, as well. They should be the first to be dragged through the market place and taken to the guillotine.

When I posted my discussion with a member of the NFF Executive Committee in Akure, who confirmed that Tanimu was in the SE for marketing purposes, some CEs were asking for evidence!
Well, the evidence is before your eyes now! Stop supporting bad things as it will have an impact on all of us!

Your post immediately struck me as the truth. No way would you be making that kind of shytt up.

It’s sad we don’t have genuine investigative journalists in Nigeria because this rolling scam would and should be easily blown into the open.
It was an undercover reporter that in 2018 caught Yusuf on camera accepting bribe money. Not sure whether he was a Nigerian though.
Instead, it’s like the reverse is the case - our so called journalists are the ones accepting brown envelopes to keep quiet.

We will keep asking for evidence. It is not our fault when people don't back up what they say and expect us to take whatever they say as face value. Nobody defended Yusuf or Fortune Chukwudi because the evidence was clear. I have been a victim of unsubstantiated allegations in the past and even after I was proven innocent it took ages to recover - I never wish it on anyone. With surveillance and other technology, it is easier to prove these things.

Evidence of a conversation? Maybe I should be secretly recording my conversations that relate to football matters and post on the forum!
I believe I have been in this forum long enough to have some level of credibility and sharing a conversation that I had with a top NFF official is just sharing information with the forum.
Those who asked for evidence are those that are on one side of the conversation around local players, so even if I had shared a recording of the conversation, they would have asked for visual evidence! :lol:

Dammy I have a lot of respect for you and you know that. I have no issues with your credibility. But what about the person you spoke to? Is the NFF run like a place that has a lot of credible people?

And wanting more local players does not mean that one must support corruption when it involves them - I refused the watch the Unity Cup because of the random way the local players were selected (some were not the best in their positions) and I did not feel that was the best time to use homebased players. I said it clearly then that things were dodgy.

I also ask for evidence when foreign based players are accused - an example is when Uzoho was accused of being significantly older because of his looks.
