This man don tey as president of the supporters club na. Is he life president?

UP NaijA...!

I respect this man alot he put in so much making our supporters club strong some enemies of progress came to fought him, they came and want to eat where they do not sowed as usual but God passed them.

God bless sir, its your type Nigeria want. It is a builder like you Nigeria want, someone who will be ready to give it all and be there in time of down and up and not someone who ran away when needed then suddenly came out and started claiming Saint, superman, spiderman, jargons mathematician etc.

God bless sir.

Eagle pls don't fall hands do the job don't allow those heavy, village palm wine tapper looking indomitable chicken beat you guys so that damn Fake FIFA ranking will still place them Best in Afrca with nothing to show.

He's the one that built the supporters club to become a brand in the first place. He used His Money to fund their travels and Hotels. Nigerian Football Federation that was owing Players Bonus is who will pay Money into supporters club? If that thing was lucrative as a Business the Man would have been removed since. It's a passion for Him and very few have that passion hence the reason He is still at the Helm's of affairs

There must be a way he is getting back his money, forget passion, nothing goes for nothing
Or are you saying that Nigeria have been broke for over 40yrs, and hence could not sponsor the supporters club

festacman:
In the beginning, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, a successful clearing agent and former President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), used his resources and goodwill to build up Nigeria Football Supporters Club into a strong football fan brand that was internationally recognized. Then, sponsors rushed to take advantage of the publicity and PR potentials that the brand offered.

Then gradually, the good old 'cometh money, cometh trouble' situation showed up. Many people who didn't even understand the concept of Nigeria Football Supporters Club started questioning why Dr. Rafiu Ladipo had presided over the club for a long time. Some interests in the then NFA (later NFF) conspired to remove Dr. Ladipo as President. Gradually, the new money-minded people discovered that they would give more and receive much less in running the organization. They fizzled out and the Nigeria Football Supporters Club became inactive.

History will never forget Dr. Rafiu Ladipo.

So it is with everything in life. None will make sense of your effort until you finish building, then the vultures will swoop in on you, thinking you doing too much. But they will soon realize that it takes as much effort and resources to keep it going.

Afi storm na

Them don carry their bad luck go meet super eagles

The President General Of The Nigeria Football Supporters Club, Dr Rafiu Ladipo Arrives Cote D’Voire, Says Super Eagles Will Win The Tournament

Na him de play?

If Nigeria win the cup, it will be a good sign for Tinubu as president

Why is it so hard for black people to give up power and positions? We blame politicians as if they're the only ones harboring this insidious sit-tight cancer. Over forty years, still counting, and Dr. Rafiu Ladipo is still president Nigerian football supporters club. What a shame.

I really really wonder how this made FRONT PAGE. Na wah oh nairaland.

Since I was a child, he was president and I know the Supporters Club monies he has been whacking since.
It might surprise people how much Monies and estacodes the FG and sponsors are pumping into the Supporters club. As supporters club, they travel a lot for all the tiers of football matches anywhere in the world.
The Supporters club is their own oil well. These people just dey use juju to sit tight in office. Mehnnnn, president of Supporter Club for over 40yrs...

The way the country is structured, people think Nothing goes for Nothing and everyone wants Money. But some actually make their Money to fulfill their passion. Mount Everest Climbers don't go there wanting to achieve Fame. Nigeria Football Federation will probably have more immediate use for their scarce funds. As the first comment on this Thread noted, He was removed when They thought the supporters club generated alot of income and when it didn't they ran away. Those guys get money from sponsors and other Fans but no way it will make up for the Huge expenses if You don't have passion for it.

You don't know what you just spewed out. Please read the first comment and then rethink.

aspabay:

Founded is different from Funding.
The FG gives allocation to them via the sports commission. The Min of sports take care of their travel expensive and pay their travel allowances. Sponsor also cater for their expenses.
These I have always known.
Or you think he pays and cover all travel expenses and estacodes for over 200 supporters for all Nigeria matches outside that amounts to millions? All from his pockets?? Like seriously?
