This is not just an NFF problem it is a Nigerians problem

Every single one of us
If immigration are not begging at the airport it is police on the road
The whole society is affected
Honestly the country called Nigeria needs a complete resurrection into a new name.

Watch every interview he does on his white masters stations. He is always trying to put others down to elevate himself. He clearly suffers some an inferiority complex and low self esteem. If he isn’t claiming to be the most successful Nigerian footballer and more successful than Kanu, he is telling the world that his family at home are always asking him for money and how he helped them and how all Africans are leeches when you are successful . If it is not how he paid for the flight of his team it is how he got a manager sacked. If he isn’t fighting and insulting Oliseh he is abusing or insulting or putting someone or his country down, he is putting someone or his country down.


He clearly has low self esteem and suffers from imposter syndrome where he doesn’t really believe he deserves to be where he is so he has to put others down or big himself up to justify in his mind his status.

I was in the UK when Jay Jay signed for the Bolton. Jay Jay made it cool to be a Nigerian in the UK. Everywhere you go including the office, being a Nigerian was cool because of Jay Jay. This foool is now going on TV and every time he talks he must put Nigeria or his fellow Nigerians or Africans down one way or another.


The guy is an eeediot. Just making a fool of himself and embarrassing himself.

Somebody who they spelt your name wrong and he accepted it and speaks in a fake accent just shows he has an inferiority complex.
I understand all you have said. He might be wrong on other occasions, but on this, please blame him not.
Will you be happy if Nigeria football team was unable to go or go late and loose the first game of that Olympic if he did not pay for the plane ticket?
When it comes to corruption, blame no one for disrespecting Nigeria.

You are missing the point. Nobody is happy or sanctions or is unaware of the ills of Nigeria in general.

He is an “ambassador” of Nigerian sport and every time he opens his mouth on the white mans station all he does is put others down and tell his audience how great he is.

Jay Jay, Kanu have been on English Tv interviews more than him. I have never heard any of them say anything bad about Nigeria, Nigerians or other Africans.

The truth is Obi hasn’t got the intellect to talk about anything else. He has no football insight as a pundit.

I watched the minister of sports' interview on political platform, channels TV and was surprised when he said it wasn't his fault for Nigeria's failure at the Olympics, that people were put to occupy various positions and duties, he forgot to tell us who appointed the mumus that didn't do their duties. If you appoint a mumu to carry out a task, when that mumu fails, the responsibility is on the appointer of the mumu embarassed. The minister as well as other Nigerians should always learn to take responsibility for their actions or inaction embarassed

Be objective for once when criticizing people, so you expect the Minister to appoint heads for all the sporting federation. The tasks of choosing the people who would represents the country lies with each federation.

So spare the man.

How can Nigeria be great with people like you in it. Who fail to say the truth as it is. U look the other way in the face of glaring corruption.

Him funding it is no big deal but his point is on the rot in the NFF. Funds have been released by the government for that purpose but some people sat on it and kept the team at the airport from morning till night... Such experience affects moral. It means some cabal ate that money as Mikel didn't conclude that he was refunded.. otherwise he will not still talk about it.

However in the case of George Weah, his country didn't have the funds, so he took it on himself.

It's not same thing..

And Tinubu tries to continue to rule till 3090... Laws can be amended in the legislative chambers...

In the first term of office, the president uses the 4 years to 'settle' those who brought him to power.

Many appointments aren't based on merit. It is in their second term when there are no more political debts to be settled, that appoints are based on merits.

Even Shagari during his second term started appointing many based on merit. He might have achieved more during his second term but the coupist put paid to that.

In Nigeria, the culture of responsibility is not part of us, rather we are experts at shifting blame and absolving ourselves. We still have a long way to go.
