27 QUESTIONS FOR SANI LULU

Having been duly authorised by the supreme court of public opinion, I representing 100 million soccer-crazy Naijas hereby put forward the following (potentially dangerous) questions to you:

Are you the chairman of the NFA?

Is the NFA which you head,the Nigeria Football Association or the No Future Ambition?

Are you aware that football provides the strongest bond that unites all Nigerians,irrespective of tribe,economic status,or whether fine or ugly?

Do you therefore agree that those people enpowered to run our football should do so with utmost dilligence and sense of patriotism?

What is your assessment of Nigeria's performance at the just-concluded (oh sorry on-going,wihout Nigeria) Africa Cup of Nations?

Are you aware that there exists a bitter rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana in football?

Do you know that Nigerians have been plunged into acute depression since Nigeria lost to Ghana on sunday?

Did you watch the match between Nigeria and Ghana in Accra on February 3 ?

Did you notice that the Eagles took a deserved lead after dominating the Ghanaians in the first half?

Did you notice that the referee awarded Nigeria a (deserved) penalty and (also justifiably) sent off the Ghanaian captain in the game?

Chairman Sir,did you notice that soon after the red card which conferred the Eagles with a numerical advantage, our team surprisingly lost control of the game ?

Do you agree that the Eagles were thoroughly humiliated in that match?

Did you notice that the Eagles struggled all through their previous matches in that tournament?

Did you notice that,unlike what happened with other teams,most of the substitutions made by the Eagles' coach failed to improve our game?

Did you observe that the Eagles played an ackward and ineffective style which lacked the traditional flair that Nigerian football is noted for?

Do you agree that AFRICON 2008 was Nigeria's worst ever?

Did you notice that the team previously known and addressed as Super Eagles is now commonly called Super Chickens ?

Do you therefore agree that the manager,Berti Voghts failed woefully on this assignment?

Are you aware that the trend worldwide is to sack coaches that have failed in their assignments?

Are you aware that even there in Ghana 2008,some coaches with intergrity have honorably resigned their positions without waiting to be sacked?

Do you remember that not too long ago,Nigeria lost the World Cup qualification ticket to lowly-rated Angola?

Do you therefore agree that there is a major crisis in Nigerian football?

Do you agree that given our pedigree, qualification to the World Cup finals should be our birthright?

Should Nigeria gamble with her chances of qualifying for SA 2010 , the first World Cup to be hosted in Africa?

Sir, do you know what a "slave contract" is ?

Did the NFA sign a slave contract with Berti Voghts?

When will the NFA sack Berti Voghts ?

Thank you, Sir, and to show that I'm not one of your enemies I wish to congratulate you on Nigeria's victory at the last FIFA under-17 tournament.It's my fervent wish that we share more of such happy moments together, and less of the Ghana 2008 type.

while I agree that Sunday Oliseh has strong managerial qualities,I definitely don't think he is ripe enough to carry the burden of The Nigerian National Team now.Personally,I think that job should just be handed over to Clemence Westerhoff.Oliseh and Keshi will make very good deputies.
