Joebie:
I called that an investigation should be done right from the start instead of dismissing anybody's claim. Wake up from your shock

TheGoodJoe:


Or the Bribery also might not exist.

Joebie:
of course that's also possible. But we can't know until there is an investigation. I'm against people attacking players who are saying they were asked for bribe with the reason that they should have spoken not until now. What do they stand to gain from speaking now? They should be allowed to speak and Okpala and the likes allowed to defend. Let the investigation start.

TheGoodJoe:


Call for an investigation for the mutiny too.

Joebie:
I never attack Okpala.. don't attack anyone who speaks if you genuinely want the truth

TheGoodJoe:


What I find interesting is that Sylvanus Okpala is saying that they can not say he collected money. He was lead tactical adviser and is saying, we dropped this guy because of mutiny. That I find very interesting.

There are things I stomach but make me look at loads of players with disrespect. Maybe I should start pointing it out.

Joebie:
What's the end goal of that? We are talking about corruption and not what players may have done in the past that they got timely punishment for anyway.

Danielnino00:


So we should let the issue of mutiny slide?

Joebie:
But they said Keshi demanded money. Do I have to repeat myself that both can coexist? no waste my time jor. u know the the koko

TheGoodJoe:


They were not punished by media exposure. They are not punished for interference by NFF through players to sack coaches by poor performances.

Some of them carryout the act and continue because they won't be suspected. Some of them miss goals, score own goals etc. They are past incidences they carried such acts that flew by.

So what players have done in the past is a big part of it.

TheGoodJoe:


There is a possibility on factor might not exist. Like, Keshi never demanding money from Taiwo and that Taiwo's claim he was dropped because of bribe not true. When actually, he was dropped due to mutiny.

Danielnino00:


So we should let the issue of mutiny slide?

Joebie:
Okay if you are saying there is an end goal, then a full investigation has to be done. So don't attack the players speaking out, saying they should have said years ago -- if you are one of those.

Joebie:
Okay why Okpala and Keshi no talk that time? Let me read from your playbook.

TheGoodJoe:


I will welcome a full investigation any day. Not just on Keshi but as much deals as possible. Even current one. The jumping of qualified coaches like Amunike and Finidi to prep Yobo without a badge as the next Super Eagles coach.

I will welcome an investigation why the NFF decided to frustrate Keshi without a contract for months. When he had a contract, owing him beyond normal extent.

I want investigations into Erikson's claim that he was asked to share his salary.

I want investigation why Adelakun who has no coaching badge and football playing history is the chief scout of Super Eagles.

I want investigation into why Adelakun should help Rohr get a coaching job and share his salary.

I want full match fixing investigations (especially to tarnish coaches) etc.

I want different mutinies investigation.

Not selective periods when the main puppet masters are sitting safe. Might even be the ones to lead the investigation.

TheGoodJoe:


Okpala did not talk because they let it slide. As long as the bad eggs are cut from the team.

Okpala is responding immediately to Taiwo's claims, not years after.

Joebie:
But we have to start from somewhere. And it starts from all these that are speaking.. so sit back and relax as more stories unfold

Joebie:
Good. Can you answer me, what do these players stand to gain by waiting until this pandemic period to say these stuffs? Do you have a slight idea?

TheGoodJoe:


I don't have a problem in players speaking out. I have a problem in players speaking without revealing the true story. Then it becomes senseless.

When they are not mentioning names, then they are joking. See Okpala is saying Taiwo planned a mutiny and he was in the next room to Keshi. He is telling us the game it happened and the incident that led to it.

That is speaking out. Not speaking in parables.

TheGoodJoe:


They are idle.

Danielnino00:
Post match interviews

Joebie:
So your issue na the names? Be patient na.. names go drop.. We are already seeing some officials defending..., so we already know where it is headed. Names will no longer be an issue. Just relax and watch the story unfold my friend.

TheGoodJoe:


If they are not naming names, they are not speaking out.

Joebie:
Okay why Okpala and Keshi no talk that time? Let me read from your playbook.

Blueelf:
In my opinion, it'll be highly unwise to take sides on this bribery brouhaha (coaches vs players) until a proper investigation is carried out and hard evidence produced. Until then, its just a case of "your word against mine"

Danielnino00:

Nigerians will keep an eye on the ongoing German Bundesliga clash between Hoffenheim and Hertha BSC at the Prezero Arena, with exciting winger Chinedu Ekene in line to make his professional debut for the home team,
allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Hoffenheim manager Alfred Schreuder has included Ekene in his matchday 20 but the highly-rated youngster is among the substitutes.
Aged 20, Ekene was heavily courted by the Nigeria Football Federation ahead of the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup and was one of the foreign-born players named in the country's provisional squad for the tournament in Poland.
Born to a German mother and Nigerian father, he suffered an injury before the World Cup, so could not link up with the Nigeria U20 squad at their training camp in Germany.
A former Germany U16 captain, Ekene has played non-binding games for that age group plus the U15 and U17 national teams and could have represented the Flying Eagles at the World Cup without applying for a change of association.
This season, the former Bayer 04 Leverkusen youth-teamer has appeared in 21 matches for Hoffenheim II in the Regionalliga Südwest, logging 1,437 minutes.
Ekene will don the number 37 on the back of his shirt if he enters the game against Hertha BSC as a substitute.
