Super eagles player and West Brom playmaker, Osaze odemwingie has been slammed with a life ban from the super eagles after he posted some insultive comments on micro blogging website, Twitter.

Unhappy at being left out of the provisional 32-man squad that will begin camping in Faro this week, Osaze lashed out at head coach Stephen Keshi and the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF). Osaze had said that Keshi has no footballing reasons not to invite him to camp and criticized the way he found out about being dropped via the media rather than from the coach himself.
One top NFF official responded by saying that Osaze would not be allowed to go unpunished for insulting the NFF, Keshi and Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo. He added that Osaze took matters too far with his outburst on Twitter and as such must pay for his actions.

According to NFF sources, Osaze's case will now be referred to the federation's disciplinary committee to investigate and make recommendations to the executive committee for the next line of action. He added: “Who does Osaze think he is that makes him think that he can abuse everybody and go unpunished?

“Well, he may think he does not need us because he also holds a European Union passport but we shall make a statement with the action we will take against him. We are 100 per cent in support of Keshi because we know he picked his team without any ill-feelings.”

Osaze meanwhile has conceded that being dropped from the Nations Cup squad effectively ends his international career. He added that it is just as well he was not invited to the Faro camp, as it is not ideal to play for a coach who does not want him.

What flatulence! Banned for saying the truth or what?

This can only happen in nigeria...instead of them to come out defend the allegation he put out against them, rather they're banning him.....rawbbaish!

And they even have the guts to say they are refering him to the disciplinary committee. NFF itself is an embodiment of indiscipline.

The league body is always fighting as to who is chairman, who is secretary...so much fights over who won what, and NFF , Up till now has not been able to put its house in order....so what are they telling us about discipline/disciplinary committee?

They can do whatever they like to osaze....all i knw is that, he remain one of our greatest footballers of all time.

And to think Osaze is the best player in that useless team.

how much is NFF paying him as compared to west brom....rubbish!

tellwisdom: God punish nff, punish d officials join.

hahaha i support jare.

He is 31 years old, let them go to hell. Greedy bastards

congrat westbrom manager

the next coach wil unban him

What part of this post indicates that he was given a life-ban?

Use and dump.
Not a good way to treat your player.

Someone once said, the world is not bad because of bad people but because good people have refused to do something about it. I love and respect Osaze a lot, for having the guts to come forward and tell us the truth, he knows there will be an uproar from all affected and I guess he is prepared for that. Life ban or no ban, that won't change the fact that he was telling the truth.

finsulyman: congrat westbrom manager

Ofcourse, he will have his priced striker available throughout January...

hahaha i support jare.

o boy, una dey vexoooo

Speculations. Anyway good 4 him, he wil now concentrate on his club career.

Osaze talks like a child.There are better ways he could have channelled his complaints and insulting everybody shouldnt have been an option.We need to start doing and acting right in this country!

NFF awon omo ale,ndi oshi,barawo.You need osaze more than he needs you.

whatever happened to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. . .

and is'nt twiiter where one can write whatever one like's . . .

How will we ever qualify for common semi-final in the world cup when all our coaches and fvcing nff (no future ambition) are busy twitting?

Naija i hail thee!!!

NFF are bunch of fools n mediocres. What is the reason for ban on him?

make we see how many own goal yobo go score this nations cup

Zikdik: What part of this post indicates that he was given a life-ban?

exactly my thought.

who cans top him

Why should he care?

What exactly has the super Eagles achieved recently.

When he was championing our WC Qualifiers almost singlehadedly, nobody saw his shortcomings and was always praised as the most dedicated Super Chicken.

NFF is just an embarassment of monumental proportion to this country. What again defines mediocrity if not choosing Shola Ameobi ahead of Peter Odenwingie?

i pity keshi, if he fails to go far to wining this cup, does that are backing him nw, including NFF will so be against him...

tellwisdom: God punish nff, punish d officials join.
