The path to perdition is Nigerian football

NFF President, Aminu Maigari gets automatic 2nd term?

*Maigari to get automatic second term

*State FA to be bribed with N5m development fund

There was a time I described this set of officials of the illegal Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as Bourbons. You may want to ask who who are the Bourbons. It’s a tribe in old France that are reputed never learnt anything from history and never forgot anything to history.

JUSTIFICATION: Many of them on this board of the Nigerians Feeding on Football (NFF) were part of the charade of the Makurdi Congress of the then Nigeria Football Association (NFA) where they decided to change the name without following laid down football statute change procedures. That was the foundation of the crisis that has engulfed the game till date.

The goons are at the junction where it is certain that they never learnt from the mistakes of their predecessors. I can reveal that these folks have concluded plans to ensure that the current board returns unopposed by closing the democratic space (as if there was any in the first place) against “outsiders”.

They have fixed their Congress for November. They have amassed so much cash to streamline the Congress to approve their skewed electoral guideline to make anyone who has not served for four years in any football capacity to be eligible to contest for ay office.

Unconfirmed sources confided that each state FA has been slated to take N5m in the name of football development fund to make them deliver their vote for the project which is meant to guarantee that the Aminu Maigari board returns back to the Glass House.

Meanwhile, the sweet part is that the same people have sold out a dummy to the Federal Government that all is now well with the house of football. They forgot to tell the government that there are still matters in court. However, there is an extant matter in court that has sued four key government personages in a matter where the Attorney General’s counsel shot the NFF in the feet claiming that the NFF does not exist in law, that they do not have a secretariat nor a secretary general. As it is, the judge has one route to tread, rule in favour of the law. 

A voice from within the inner sanctuary of the group claimed that the Executive and Legislative arms of government is very much in support of the current administration of football in the country.

Like I promised sometimes ago, I will siddon look. This road will lead to nowhere. It is a cul-de-sac. I hope time will prove me wrong. Rather than always prove me wrong, time has always made me look like a prophet whose words it had implemented.
