Is Football an oligarchy?

FIFA President, Sepp Blatter...bewildered at the NFF?

Kick Off:
Let us start from here. Does any set of Nigerians have the right to associate for the sake of football with or without the seal of either the NFA or the NFF?
If you answer yes, you are in trouble and if your answer is no you are in trouble.
My premise: After the first round matches of the 2010 world cup qualifiers, a set of Nigerians who wanted the very best for the game put together a concept to raise N2.5b for the second round campaign of the Super Eagles.
We wrote the concept out, gave the NFF. We were called to a meeting. We met the Assistant Secretary General who superintends marketing, Musa Amadu with one Adama.
After the presentation and defence, they asked for the Business and Strategic plan which we gave them in confidence. The NFF through Adama stole the idea, balkanised it and sold a portion to Afribank Plc. Today. Its history.

The Female Football Foundation:
The NFF on Tuesday stated that it has not in anyway endorsed a group calling itself "The Female Football Foundation" to hold a launch to support the national women’s football team. Do they have to endorse same given the above scenario knowing the intellectual thieves are still there?
If the NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu said that the mission and objectives of the group remain unclear to the football-governing body, does it mean they can't so organise the launch?
Is the launch for the private interest of the organisers? They stated like the NFF admitted that part of their mission is for the Super Falcons. Who owns the national team? NFF or Nigerians?
“In as much as we would approve of genuine efforts by private individuals and companies to help propel women’s football in Nigeria and also to support our women’s team’s campaign at the FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Germany this summer, we are compelled by decency and diligence to disassociate ourselves from this initiative that has failed to seek for NFF’s endorsement”, stated Amadu.
Fair enough Amadu did not say the launch cannot hold or that if it holds and they bring the proceeds they won't take. So what is the essence of their disclaimer?

Nigeria Sports Development Fund Inc.,:
Quickly, let's stroll through the cols of our recent history. In 1994, when we qualified to play the Nations Cup in Tunisia and the world cup, government set up the USA committee. That committee transformed into the Nigeria Sports Development Fund Inc.,
Juxtapose tjat event and this and spot the differences. Are we like the Bourbons of France who learnt nothing from history and forgot nothing to history?

AIT Football Awards:
Did the same NFF not disown the AIT Football Awards when it started? Infact, there was a sledge hammer waiting for anyone who attended the event.
The NFF langue was similar to this: '“We do not have a clear idea of what the group is doing, and it would be wrong on our part to associate with the launch (awards). The group has not through any written documentation sought for approval for what it is doing, or the endorsement of the Nigeria Football Federation for the project'.
In the second edition in Port Harcourt, the NFF went and ate up their vomit taking centre stage in the awards where their president, Aminu Maigari, renamed the late guru of professional football in Nigeria, chief Nathaniel (National) Idowu.

Nigeria Football Association:
While the NFF was busy thowing stones at the Female Football Foundation, she was not aware of the 'ogulutu' landing on its own laps about the same time.
Football Stakeholders had already constituted an interim board of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA)which they said would be formally presented to the media on Saturday the 21st of May in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory.
Their logic is, elections into the Board of the NFA was nullified on the 6th of September, 2010 by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Lagos. This is a fact. This is where Jiti Ogunye sneaked in with his 'alien' suit because he is not a football person. We are waiting for the test of the law here.
They added that fresh elections have not been held since then. That is true. Yet, the orders of that court are subsisting in the face of later developments.
The third ground is, Alhaji Aminu Maigari’s board says they are the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has no place for any organisation called the NFF. This is true and affirmed by the National Assembly.
Number four fact is that the Nigeria Football Association was created by a military decree in 1992 converted to an Act of parliament in 1999 when the 3rd Republic emerged.
The fifth fact is that, Aminu Maigari’s board has deposed to several affidavits in Courts that they are not NFA that they are NFF. This is true.
The stakeholders feel these have created a vacuum that stakeholders of football in Nigeria has filled with the constitution of an interim board in accordance with the NFA 2004 Statutes pending when fresh elections would be held.
Ngwanu! No be that my dirty mouth wey dem say dey smell that time don mature? E egbe! Abeg, siddon look!!
