I can reveal that the heads of Nigerian football are in war. The two? Aminu Maigari and Davidson Owumi. Maigari is the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Owumi, Chairman of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL). How and why this new war?
Now hear this. Aminu Maigari is angry with Owumi. Why? He is of the concerted opinion that Davidson Owumi took him and the NFF to court. How and when?
Harrison Jalla, the president of the National Association of Nigerian Footballers (NANF) it would be recalled dragged so many parties to court including the NFF, the NPL and their various leaders. Owumi’s name was listed as a “defendant” and Maigari was so listed too.
But Maigari ironically does not understand that Owumi was not the petitioner and that both of them were sued as defendants.
He told a meeting why he would not forgive Owumi. He went to his car, brought out the court paper and was pointing to the list saying. “he took us to court” efforts to make him understand his ‘ignorance’ proved abortive.
Ironically, he repeated the same charge in the presence of Owumi in another meeting later the same day pointing at Owumi: “You took us to court”. Please, don’t forget that the same Maigari could not name how many teams play in the Nigerian league system
Is that the president of the NFF who will take Nigerian football to the next level? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteI think this Maigari guy should be ashamed. When will all these crazy act stop? Those of us living out in Europe and see how thing are run just can stop wondering at the problem is with these guys… All these idiots that turn what will stimulate improvement to zoo – will one-day answer questions. A man that cannot read is ruling people with insight…. What a shame. I gave up on football in Nigeria. Before anything good comes out that country football again, it'll take another 30 years (mark it)
