The people in Egypt did it. We can do it better. Football is a masses opium. Our current governors of the game have become violently dangerous to the good health of the game. We cannot continue to look at them the way they are going about the affairs of our commonwealth. It is our desire as a pressure group to ask that the Board of the NFF led by Alhaji Aminu Maigari should resign. If they refuse, we will head to the National Assembly. Thence, we shall seek the intervention of FIFA before we call for a state of emergency to be declared by the government.
My courage got bolstered when Mike Enahoro commented on the facebook page I opened for this purpose. Read him, “People all over the world are demanding better service of their leaders, and are standing up to be counted. In Nigeria, our siddon tight leaders have no idea what it means to serve, only to be served. The examples we see, of people in the middle east is an example. The only constituency that brings joy and passion, a semblance of a united front is our football (and national team sports). These bunch of "god father groomed" gangstas have to be booted out!!!!!! Now!!!! Lets copy the examples of people all over the world. We take a stand and we push and push until they go....... 10,000 members of this forum is the target...... Tell your friends, loved ones, and any one who cares, 10,000 of us must get behind this. Lets do something..... E no concern me, is not our portion..... 10,000 people on this forum in 100 days.... Lets get everyone on our contact list to sign up.... This is not about Maigari, it is not about Lulu or anyone else, but enuff is enuff.... We also cannot siddon look..... Do something... forward this message to all your contacts and insist they sign up. Today, we fight to save football, tomorrow, we fight to save our country..... Lets get 10,000 people to sign up within the next 100 days....”

There comes a time where our futbol has to move forward not just on the field but off it as well... The administrators are beyond clueless... It is just the beginning.
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden Christopher Green who has been making so much noise in the last few weeks over this and that has all of a sudden kept quiet? I am surprised he hasn't said anything good except point fingers at others... Utter disgrace...
