FIFA ban is the handiwork of saboteurs, Anyasi-Agwu
Sports Oct 4, 2010 By Jacob Ajom
A member of the deposed board of the Nigeria Football Federation, Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu has condemned in totality, perpetrators of events that have led to the suspension slammed on Nigeria by the Federation of International Football Association, FIFA.

Reacting to the ban in a chat with Sports Vanguard yesterday, the chairman of Enyimba Football Club of Aba said, “it should now be clear to Nigerians who are the real enemies of Nigeria,” an angry Anyansi-Agwu said.

Continuing, the Enyimba boss retorted, “why should a group of two or three people stand out and want to scuttle what the majority have done. The elections into the board of NFF was free and fair and everybody saw it.

“I want to say in clear terms that this is sabotage against the President of this country who want Nigerian football to move forward. These are the same people who advised him to withdraw Nigeria from international football.

They are at it again. I strongly feel that this group is funded by certain people and now they are satisfied that Nigeria is banned by FIFA

Suspension is unfortunate , Obaseki
Sports Oct 4, 2010 In his own reaction, former chairman of the Nigeria Professional League Board, Chief Onyuki Obaseki has said that Nigeria’s suspension by FIFA was unfortunate and deplorable.

Obaseki who spoke on a radio programme monitored in Lagos, however questioned FIFA’s meddlesomeness in Nigeria’s internal affairs, saying that the country was a sovereign nation with laws that govern it.

“A court order stopped the NFF from conducting the elections that brought about all these problems. The NFF defied that order and FIFA is now suspending the country,” Obaseki said.

He enjoined the world football ruling body to respect Nigeria and wondered whether FIFA could dictate to Switzerland the way the country was governed.

Maybe there was no merit in his complaint.

A FIFA rep witnessed the election you know.

If you cant comply with FIFA rules then pull out! It is not by force. How come we are the only one that cant obey laid down rules?

There was no merit in Odegbami's complaints and he knows that CAS should have been his next port of call and not hiding under the banner of trustee of NANF and member of PTF.

Kpom!

The bottom line is that FIFA is expecting the same standards in advanced countries to be applied on our shores. Of course it will not be a problem if democracy was not a subject that our people find too difficult to grasp.

As far as I am concerned, the ban can stay for as long as possible. It will help to correct major ills on the long run. Those who want the ban over-turned quickly should go and sit their a$$ in a corner. We have swept matters under the carpet for far too long. The idiots running the NFF recently are not on the same planet as the Dankaros and Ikhazobohs!

If they were really desirous of serious change we would've seen a clear blueprint. Besides, u do not need a ban to effect serious change...

Goldleaf wrote:Yes, you do. We nigerians love nothing more than engaging in chaos and hovering around the brink with the hope that pressure of an imminent doom will ensure that the other side capitulates. Well, bro, till now the impasse has dragged on. We hovered around the brnk for so long daring FIFA's wrath which has now been vented. With the suspension, you will now witness a flurry of meetings between parties who were not talking previously aimed at a resolution. It is our nature and to deny it is simply delusional. What I am saying is that we even forget those meetings and forget a temporary solution now but rather institute a commission that will carry out a root and branch overhaul of our football. Give them 3-6 months to come up with their findings and then implement their proposals.

The mugu is lamenting the loss of FIFA money and the share that would have found it's way into his pocket!
