Chai! My people, wetin dey happen for our football ground? E don pass joke!
Wetin dey happen as House of Representatives don resolve to probe the use of $25m wey dem give Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) since 2015? E be like say dem just dey follow river without knowing say na dead end dem dey waka go!
As we sabi, dis investigation begin after one sharp motion wey Lagos lawmaker, Adedayo Adesola, and his Rivers State buddy, Felix Nwaeke, bring come up last year. Dem see say NFF don turn our football money to Abacha money, and dem wan know wetin happen to the cash wey supposed make our players dey shine.
Oliseh, the former Super Eagles captain, don clear say our football dey suffer because dem dey mismanage dis funds. Imagine say NFF collect $1m from FIFA just to jolly-jolly for 2002 World Cup, but wetin we see from the match? Na wah!
From 2015 to 2025, FIFA and CAF don sabi give NFF better development money, but e be like say dem use am play some kind game wey no benefit we. E be like say dey wan turn football to musulini. Who sabi wetin happen to our Super Eagles wey no fit even show face for World Cup dis year?
When dem carry dis gist enter House, dem no fit form ad hoc committee as everybody expect. Instead, dem just hand over the matter to Committee on Sports to check am. But see ehn, dey don collect four weeks to submit report, and nothing don land since then!
Adesola don dey vex as he talk say, “Wetin dey happen? Nigerians wan sabi wetin una find. E don pass two months since una start investigation. Make we know wetin be the findings.” Last-last, na dis kind wahala make Super Eagles no fit carry the World Cup go come home. Na plenty money wey dey lost we go miss!
As we dey look for our football to wake up, we suppose fit trust dem wey dey handle our money. E go better if dem fit put the findings for table make everybody dey see.
Last last, we don dey feel the impact of bad leadership as FIFA don close eye make dem shine light on we. Nobody wan hear say dem don mismanage $802,000 again. Na so the matter dey go!
The House go resume on January 27, 2026, so let’s see if dem go finally open mouth and give us small light on this matter wey dey shine like torchlight. Na so e be for dis Naija football matter jeje!
