Who occupies the Nigeria Football Associations (Fas) today in Nigeria is a question that needs a must answer, owing to the debate going on the Nigeria Apex Football House.
Ordinarily, when one engage himself in a particular game or sport, and have come to the stage of representing and bringing laurels to that country, such person is considered experience in that sport and could offer tangible services to bring honour and integrity to the country.
The opposite is the case of football in Nigeria, those who played the game to the top never is allowed to even go near the football administrative office at all.
Those who do not know anything or had not contributed to the country on that sport in their various states and the country are the very persons wanting to mange football in Nigeria.
These persons have so made it difficult for those who have interest to manage football in their states as they are never considered or allowed football management, football management now a political issue.
This has brought untold embarrassment to Nigeria and the players at the international scene.
When will Nigeria gets it right? Except Nigeria gets back to the drawing board and allow those who play the game, things will still be in six and seven with Nigeria hence attracting mockery to the country’s image outside.
Among those vying for the number one football seat of administration, and power, only Chief Segun Odegbami played football to the open at International level, with The Nigeria Green Eagles.
Why won’t Segun Odegbamin be considered for the first time that a footballer, who played the game wants to manage football, that he spent time to play, representing the country, what special reason do they have to stop him?
I hope Nigeria football is getting to the point footballers alone will manage the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that is, if the ex-internationals in solidarity will stand up for it challenge. ###
