Super Eagles vs. Burkina Faso Friendly Cancelled Over Visa Issue the Super Eagles’ second international friendly against the Etallons of Burkina Faso has been cancelled after seven players in the Burkinabe contingent failed to secure entry visas into the United Kingdom. The match was scheduled for Monday, March 27 in London. The chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, Chris Green, told thenff.com in London: “We regret to announce that the second friendly match we had scheduled for the Super Eagles as part of preparations for the remaining matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series and the beginning of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification race would no longer take place on Monday, 27th March 2017. “The match in question is called off due to no fault of either the organizers or the Nigeria Football Federation. We will announce further plans for the Super Eagles’ preparation for these two important qualifying campaigns in due course.” There is no British Embassy in Ouagadougou, and officials of the Federation Burkinabe de Football had been shuttling between Accra and Ouagadougou for visa processing. FBF sources said the Embassy in Accra told them last week to proceed to Morocco (where the Etalons played the Atlas Lions on Friday) and that the visas would be issued there. However, the applications were still pending at the British Embassy in Morocco as at close of work on Friday, the last working day before match day in London. The Burkinabe Football Federation on Friday, by 7pm UK time, telephoned the match organizers to say some of their players and officials were unable to secure entry visas into the United Kingdom and therefore would not be able to honor the match. NFF president and CAF Executive Committee member, Amaju Pinnick, who expressed disappointment with the cancellation, however said the objectives of satisfying the technical team’s desire of squaring up against tough, physical African opposition and fostering team bonding and organization were achieved. “The Technical Adviser (Gernot Rohr) wanted to play very physical African teams, as part of the preparations for the World Cup qualifying matches against Cameroon, and we duly fulfilled that with the arrangements we made for Senegal and Burkina Faso. “Unfortunately, some of the Burkinabe players could not secure entry visas into the UK. It is nobody’s fault. Our joy is that we were able to play Senegal and got a fair result with a depleted squad, and also the objectives of team bonding, team building, team discipline and further imparting the Technical Adviser’s philosophy to the group have been well served. “The Technical Adviser has also been able to look at a few more options, and our strength-in-depth is looking very good.” cc: lalasticlala, mynd44 http://saharareporters.com/2017/03/25/super-eagles-vs-burkina-faso-friendly-cancelled-over-visa-issue 1 Like 1 Share

The situation is because of the recent attack in the UK by a Muslim terrorist. I do not blame them because they are trying to protect their country. People from Burkina Suffer are Muslims and going by the attacks by Muslims seem to have no bounds now as everyone is a suspect. The Quran encourages killing of infidels, so who knows who might be the next victim? Koran 2:191 "Slay the unbelievers whenever you find them." Koran 3:28 "Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." Koran 3:85 "Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." Koran 5:33 "Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam". Koran 8:12 "Terrorize and behead those that believe in scriptures other than the Koran." Koran 8:60 "Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." Koran 8:65 "The unbelievers are stupid; urge all muslims to fight them." Koran 9:5 "When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you find them." Koran 9:30 "The Jews and Christians are perverts, fight them." Koran 9:123 "Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." Koran 22:19 "Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water, melt their skin and bellies". Koran 47:4 "Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them. 1 Like 1 Share |
