Odegbami and Co Should Resign

May 22, 2009

The 2010 FIFA World Cup task force set up by the Federal government on which prominent Ex footballers namely  Mathmatical Segun Udegbami ,John Fashanu and Ex Super Eagles Skipper Austin Jay Jay Okocha are on board with the mandate to motivate and mobilize forces towards ensuring Nigeria picks the sole ticket in its group at the expense of the Carthage Eagles  of Tunisia, Harambee Stars of Kenya and potential group spoilers Mozambique was established by the Nigerian goverment.


This so called Task force is a waste of human resource and a deceitful tactical swerve by state authorities, who are technically refraining from bluntly expressing its distrust and lost of faith  in the Sani Lulu led NFF  and the National sports commission in leading football crazy Nigerians to the promise land,or how best could one describe the idea that led to the formation of a committee comprising of strange bed fellows.

 It is either the government does not trust its arm responsible for the national football team and the NFF, though fully aware of the provisions of FIFA statues on government interference through which its hands are tied from showing Lulu and his cohorts the exit route from the glass house, the Nigerian government would not have hesitated in sending the present NFF eggheads packing.

 Nigerians have lost confidence in the Sani Lulu led glass house, theirs has been  woeful results, lack of accountability, tribal sentiments and display of poor understanding on modern administration of the game. For the first time  in years the Super eagles became Super chickens in the era of Sani Lulu, did Nigeria lost her place of pride in African female football circle, what more, in Sani lulu‘s era for the first time in the history of Nigeria football administration millions of naira in foreign currency got missing from God knows where, either in an office or a store at the National football secretariat, please ask NFF

 To add salt to injury,Uncle sege,Jay jay and Fashanu who should be handed the mantle of leadership of Nigeria soccer have been selected to serve a committee that is irrelevant, inconsequential and only a big minus to their hard earned football status,they need have a rethink and resign from the committee, serving in the 2010 presidential committee would do them more harm than good, they would be better placed to serve Nigerian football, where given charge of the glass house but not in a committee made up of core politicians who know nothing next to what the game is all about, before you say jack the committee becomes another Eagle square where our politicians converge annually to do what they know how to do best.

 Ask Rotimi Amaechi whats happening to Sharks  football club of Port Harcourt,since he took over as the executive governor of River state, what has the present sports minister achieved in the world of Tennis, we are yet to see a Nigerian feature competitively in any of the renowned global Tennis open  and today they have a presidential mandate to take Nigeria to South Africa 2010, when they could not deliver in their immediate constituency, somewhat this is football interference and not football involvement.Sani Lulu would never complain, neither would Amos Adamu who never hesitates in suing poor journalist to court  for discharging their legitimate duty raise an eyebrow, you know why, you don’t bite the finger that feed you.

 
Stay tuned
