Preparation procedure.

Good for the Eastern Government of Benghazi. Now the Nigerian government have their contacts. Their infamous action have been recognized but never forgotten. While the central government at Tripoli is the official one recognized by UN . We can't fault the Nigerian foreign affairs ministry for dealing with the UN recognized authority. At the end it will shape the two factions in their local politics. A big miscalculation for the Eastern Government of Benghazi.

I saw the spurious video put out by the libyan federation in a bid to save face of what they went through in Nigeria. frankly, it was their initial error that caused them that unnecessary hitch. But then their vindictiveness was a tad more extreme.

I also think they owe us an apology. But an apology means conceding to your wrong . And they are obvious hefty price for them. They will not want to accept it for one who couldn't even afford the extra cost of flying from ph to uyo

Goke7:


So what happened in both Nigeria and Libya, we are responsible for it. The Libyans had no responsibility. Well done 👏

TheGoodJoe:
Something still bothers me regarding this Libya issue and I think the country deserves answers. The NFF needs to organize a question and answer segment with the media to clarify some issues.

As much as we are blaming Libya for being the brain box of the issue, we need to clean up our end too.

TheGoodJoe:
My posts are not meant to condone the actions of the Libyans. What they did as far as I am concerned is the reckless endangerment of National assets. There is no room for pardon and I hope they are cracked down for it. I hope they are made an example to end this recklessness once and for all.

Hanibal:

You have actually been sounding utterly ridiculous since last night.. ..

Even komekn has never ever descended to these levels.

TheGoodJoe, you're one of the most respected "elders" here.
Abeg just stop this sh*t, na God I take beg you.

TheGoodJoe:


Amazing. I wonder where you got that from.

This is how I started. I am just calling for a more professional touch in handling certain issues like this. Not absolving the Libyans in anyway.

TheGoodJoe:


I still wonder why we could not make a convenient charter and save ourselves from all these. I believe with more serious approach to things this could have been averted.

Just convey a stranded team to their venue. NFF have to clarify why they didn't. This has nothing to do with justifying the Libyans but making us more safety conscious in the near future.

Danielnino00:


You better give up

Goke7:


We have no antecedents of being hostile to visiting teams. You just went on and on with all manner of conspiracy theories. Any Libyan on this thread will be so happy with you. Thanks for being their senior advocate. Remember to collect your fees sha.

I don't care about emotions. I want things done right. I have never been a pleaser of persons but a pleaser for truth and right actions.

As far as I am concerned, the NFF let us down. Those guys were stranded. They likely had issues even flying out. We should have just helped them.

The NFF must review this and update their action plan when it comes to hosting teams for matches.

If they are stranded, helped them out. This should be included in the budget. There should be contingency money. If the team is stranded in Nigeria for a game, help them out.

TheGoodJoe:


If in the past, we have done this to other teams, the NFF needs to reach out to their football federations and associations to apologize. They should know it was unintentional and we are updating our protocol response to prevent it's reoccurrence.

Toylove:

Apparently, there’s just a slight difference between thegoodjoe and komekn. The slight difference is that thegoodjoe sabi small tactics, komekn sabi nada. Apart from that, they are bunch of the same feathers who knows how to twist and turn with no end product like chidera ejuke

Odunayaw:
I gasped when he started insinuating NFF and/or state governments should have foot the bill of the Libyan team from PH

Further slapping "stranded" on a people who instead of directly flying to Uyo, went to PH

Man

He won’t stop until Man City wins the next game. Thank God European soccer resumes this weekend

TheGoodJoe:


Just beating around the bush. The Minister went for a diplomatic meeting that made no head way. The call should have gone straight to the Eastern government. He was likely briefed on it and made the right call.

It is in black and white.

AndSunGorilla:

Someone had insinuated that the the Libyans were not cleared to land at Uyo directly because Uyo is not an international Airport hence the reason they had to land at PH. Is there any truth to that?

TheGoodJoe:


Attacking won't help you here. We did not have sufficient information about where we were going to and it could have caused our players their lives. The Foreign affairs Ministry and NFF were lost in this scenario.

Have your team without me. I don't sail with negligence.

Amedino99:
Does anyone have any idea why the British media is on a Ronu mode on this tuchel appointment?

lovewins:


This is a ridiculous take.

1. If any one should bear responsibility at all on this, it should be CAF who approved that a football game should take place in a potentially dangerous place.

2. The NFF did have sufficient information. This isn't the first time a Nigerian team will be playing in Libya. We've had 2 of our club teams play there in the last 3 years. You question assumes the NFF should have envisaged their plane being diverted upon decent to an abandoned airport. Not even a seer could have prepared for this.

3. FIFA rules stipulate non government interference in football matters, so initially the foreign affairs office wasn't involved. It was when the home office in Libya was not granted permission to even visit the guys at the airport to give them supplies they realized it was no longer a football matter.

4. All you argument presupposes the NFF should have magically known and prepared for what happened before they did. It's like saying someone who unfortunately got involved in an accident should have been prepared for it and have an ambulance ready to treat them. It's just ridiculous.

Their real problem isn't the appointment of a foreign manager, it's the appointment of one they don't like. They never expect Tuchel. If this was Guardiola they'll have been ecstatic.

The articles below illustrates what I mean. Same author, 3 days apart, both foreign managers, but different reactions

I have been following this forum for some years more than 6 years now on the background. I respect a lot of folks here for their contributions and that includes The Goodjoe the blue font Oga.
But his recent comment no join at all.
