As the Golden eaglets of Nigeria begin their quests to succeed at the ongoing FIFA U-17 world cup in Brazil, reliable sources have revealed that high ranking Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, board members are beginning to match-make outstanding U-17 Players with their Football agents.

Reliably, one the NFF chieftains, who is behind this unethical project of marrying these under age national team players, is the man who initially called for re-examination, re-evaluation of Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) results when the team opened World Cup camping in Abuja.

“When the preparation for World Cup began, one of the decision makers in Nigeria Football Federation requested that MRI results should be looked at yet again because it affected some key players who were to feature at the U-17 Nations Cup qualifiers in Niamey, Niger Republic and African U-17 Nations Cup in Tanzania respectively.

“Of cause Manu Garba was left with no choice than to agree with the ideas, at least it would help to know players that might likely be considered for the mundial as he can’t afford to be heartbroken on MRI scan before the World Cup in Brazil” source disclosed

It was gathered that, some of the players that were taken for the MRI Scan again include  

1.      Hussaini Hassan

2.      Ibrahim Usan Mohammed

3.      Tijani Samson Okikiola and few others.

Little did the fact emerge that, this man has his immoral ambition as he quietly pencilled down these innocent players for his closed allies (Agents) should they excel at world cup, which is happening now.

Credible source who preferred to remain anonymous said “This man has started calling the owners of these boys’ football (Academies), staying that it’s time for him to be rewarded having contributed to the players’ dreams of playing at World Cup” the source said and revealed the conversation between this NFF echelon, and the football academies he contacted

“Look, your boy is doing incredibly well. I have influential football agents across the globe who can help in getting your boy good club. All I need from you, his documents that can authenticate your ownership of the boy.

“Failure to comply might see your boy removed as one of regulars as the team progress in this world Cup” he threatened to the owner on Tuesday, 29th October, 2019.

Already, the future of team’s captain, Samson Tijani seems gloomy because his parents have complicated the lad’s trajectory to actualizing his dreams and visions having bowed to the pressure of another NFF hierarchy who threatened that Tijani’s parents should follow his recommendations on the boy’s growth. Sadly, Samson Tijani’s parents had already given parental consent documents to different football agents, and this might hinder the rare football talent Nigerians are watching at the World Cup.

This question keeps popping up on the reasons for these NFF board members to be Deviant when it’s clear that, FIFA ethics prohibits its administrators from players’ transfers /racketeering .
