Money has always being the main reason why problems persist in our football. The Nigerian Football Federation has failed to meet up with its obligation as regards payment and settlements of debts for work done. The current situation in which our players and coaches are being owned salaries and allowance is a sad one. Just recently the NFF board took his members for a training and workshop in the United Kingdom and we all know that lots of money would have being spent with some members enjoying fat allowances. What is quite shameful is that some of our coaches are being owed for months and even years and nothing is said or done about it. I hope the NFF board knows that the players and coaches do have families to take care of. The question one needs to ask is this is the NFF broke? was there no allocation for players and coaches wages? where are the grants and other income coming in from CAF and FIFA? I think it is his time the NFF books are audited and checked by reputable audit firms and forensic experts and if need be invite the EFCC. What the NFF should be thinking of is how to depart from their old ways they are used to and embrace change because a worker deserves his wages. I am of the opinion that the coaches and players association should unite to fight this injustice. The NFF cannot continue to run our football without following laid down policies and procedures as football is a global brand. With all these issues I don't think the private sector or any would be investor will be willing and ready to do business with the NFF. Accountability should be the watchword and going forward the current board must be made to fall in line,enough of sentiments and lets face reality.
