WOE UNTO THE STATESMAN

Owumi...one at war already

Please do not ask me who is a statesman in Nigerian sports. If there are any, then, woe unto them. Where are they? Our sports is dying. Its bleeding profusely to death. The cheaters are enjoying the present state of confusion from where they are feeding fat. No wonder I called the greatest of such decoy the Nigerians Feeding on Football (NFF). Has my coination become true?

FACT ONE: I better state the fact now that no one can possibly live life today without being a cheat but the ultimate seems is, do not be held or caught as a cheat. The NFF is definitely now a cheat with the way and manner they went about the elections of the three leagues (Women, Amateur and National). No wonder Emeka Inyama says I won’t concede. Ask, the greatest story of the cheating is that of Ms. Dili Onyedinma.

FACT TWO: Passionate patriots and lovers of things of life: women, wine, war or and football, will agree with me that there is a new madness in our football. I presage and quickly that it is only blood and iron will this war be settled. The losers: football.

I will also say and assert that the many generals, kings and princes of our football today are surely not ready for this war of salvation. Many are so poor both materially and intellectually to go into such wars so they are ready and willing for the crumbs of the table of our common enemy- a disastrous result for the future.

The option not to go to war is peace. There can be no peace in our football. The number and quality of those who have signed and have entered the war is increasing. Adokie Amasiemaka had been in war, his words on the marble of the The Punch newspaper is clear. He made the war irrevocable with his well researched expose of cheating in the Glass House with the Fortune Chukwudi age scandal. Chief Patrick Olusegun Odegbami is already at war. Many saw in him a desperate person whereas, he is a patriot seeing what many ordinary followers of the game cannot see.

Harrison Jalla went to war and was lured out with an Out-of-Court settlement gambit. Some of us encouraged him. He saw the lack of sincerity in his adversaries. He went back to war.

Davidson Owumi is presently at war for being denied a legitimate election he won fair and square.

Emeka Inyama believed in the system. Followed its rules and was to be stabbed in the rib section and volunteered to go to war. Can he enter the war?

Aisha Falode went in like Emeka Inyama. She did not see the handwriting of the godfathers. She was shortchanged and pronto! She picked her gauntlet to fight. Can she end up in war?

WARFARING AS A GLORIOUS BUSINESS: There is no doubting the fact that warfaring is a glorious business. The greatest questions of all times are always decided not by speeches, writings, nor by Out-of-court settlements and resolutions but by iron and blood.
