Hmmmm, this sounds too good to be true. There're more signs than protesters. Hopeful it grows larger.

[Purity]

The Nigerian Police was alive to its responsibilities today when it stopped a rival group from infiltrating a peaceful protest demanding for the resignation of President Amaju Pinnick and the entire NFF Executive Committee after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2022 W/C

The protesters staged a little rally at the Unity Fountain during which their leaders spoke about the instituitionalised corruption at the NFF,which has caused the country’s No 1 sport to suffer from one setback to another under the watch of Amaju Pinnick in the last eight years

Now this is what I'm talking about, people trying to hold to appropriate people responsible...

...well, they asked him to destroy our football by firing a coach weeks before a major tournament. That destroyed the moral of the team.

They asked him the same thing after the World Cup why did he defend the coach then and reward him with a new contract then and suddenly now he’s not to blame for his own decisions? A decision that even his own Technical Director disagreed with. Don’t blame his decision on others, it lands squarely on his shoulders…

What does 2018 have to do with anything? He rewarded Rohr with a new contract after the WC with the expectation that the team would do better, they went on to win Bronze at Afcon after not DNQ for 2 successive Afcons.

He then fires the coach weeks before Afcon and 3months before the final WC game. The team had its worst showing in generations at Afcon and lost the WC ticket. Both scenarios are not even comparable.

Pls stop the propaganda.

Let's be clear..... This is a protest that has been long coming and has little or nothing to do with the ouster from the WC or the AFCON. Only the uninitiated will think that it has. This protest is related to a long held anger against this NFF and has far reaching issues that many on this CE (myself included on some issues) may not like including the recruitment of certain class of players, the overall agenda of the NFF, the access to largesse, etc....Thus, first understand what the issues are and understand those behind this very protest. .....At the moment the struggle is only at a nascent stage but note that the letter writing campaigns (using various media) has been underway for weeks and there is more in the offing..... The question is will Amaju survive it and who may have his/her head involved as swell .... we watch.

Not that I have any sympathies for Pinnick, but I find this rather fishy...
Just smells a little fishy to me...

Yup. Unknown gunmen, unknown Bandits, we now have Unknown protesters. Why are we only seeing pics of the signs and not the protesters? Both Pinnick and the people behind the protest need to stay away from our football.

It is fishy. Make no mistake about this. People have all kinds of goals and this appears to be an opening that they seek. It is currently heated but better believe that Pinnick will fight back. For instance, the protest that took place involved individuals that appear to have the tacit support of the Minister and note that some of these individuals have records that I consider to be far worse that Pinnick.

Surely, the coming days and weeks will be very interesting. Watch the media reports that have come out recently and then that will follow the protests thst took place today.

People who are serious about reforming the NFF should first address the enabling act on the NFF passed by the Senate.
There needs to be a change in that.

I have actually written FIFA on this...

The set of guys leading this protest should not be anywhere near the NFF or else we are back to the dark ages. I think they simply see an opening and seeking to take advantage. While one does not see Pinnick as any kind of ideal leader, he is preferred to this bunch organizing a protest.

TXJ, If it smells like fish, then eat the fish. It's meal no matter how you look at it.

On a serious note, I think Pinnic and his crew should all resign, or be swept out of their positions.

[Bigpokey24]

This is a staged protest by some people. How come the signs used so far were already made and printed. If these were done instantly they signs would all have been written with regular markers.

These bandwagons everyone is jumping into are by all indications ill-adviced; embarking on a narrow emotional tangent without a better alternative waiting in the wings is the same approach that booted ROHR with no one to fill that void
