Equality And Freedom Of Contracting Parties In The NPFL:A Mirage

“To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties.” – Jean –Jacques Rousseau, the Social Contract.

It started as a quiet agitation. Today, the Nigerian league has blossomed into a somewhat unimaginable proportion. From the modest number of eight pioneering club sides in 1972, all featuring in a single division, the league has grown in stature and importance. Parading One Hundred and Three (103) club sides of Three Thousand Five Hundred and Three (3,503) players in the 1995 season, the national league, one of the busiest in Africa and a veritable source of talent for the European scene, ensured mass movement and participation, as teams engaged in power struggle.

The Bane Of Football Development In Nigeria

By Footyalert → Friday, 17 July 2015

By Boboye Adeymi

The bane of football development in Nigeria points towards different facets, and cannot be asuaged by the incessant sacking of coaches.If we don't know the cause and effect of a problem we can't profer a lasting solution to ameliorate it.

The major virus of our football is the policies put in place.Our Recruitment policies both for players and coaches cannot lead us to cannan,and if we don't put the right policies in place our national teams and clubs will continue to falter at major events and we will continue to go back to the drawing board and nothing to show for it.

On players recruitment, our local clubs need a functioning academy. No serious country of the world that takes development of football with seriousness, doesnt have a good academy. An academy serves as training ground to nurture and fine tune the skills of young players. Development of football in Ivory Coast came about as a result of the emergence of the famed "Asec MimosaAcademy".

Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus serves as recruiting ground for the countries they are established.There are lot of skills and talent wasting away on the streets of Nigeria. These clubs can help to comb the major streets in their cities.This will help to reduce our over reliance on over age players who only shine for a 3-4 years and go into oblivion.

If a Pep Guardiola works with the present crop of players the national team is parading;he would fail,you can't go to war without adequate preparation.

On coach recruitment policy, our coaches need to be trained regularly and sent on refresher course abroad to fine tune there technical skills,and give them the requisite skills to compete with their countepart abroad, if this trend continues, it will leave us with no other option than to rely on foreign experts.

If our players and coaches are adequately trained and prepared it will help to ameliorate the horrendous situation the country football development is.

LMC Sanctions Warri Wolves, Team Manager and Player

By Footyalert →

Nigeria Football Professional League governing body has reprimanded the Delta State Football Association for not ensuring adequate and proper security at the Warri Township Stadium during the Match Day 17 Glo Premier League match between Warri Wolves and Enyimba International. Warri Wolves FC, its Team Manager and player were also subjected to disciplinary measures for various breaches of the Rules and Framework during their rescheduled Match Day 7 fixture in Ibadan against Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC).

The sanctions are part of the latest measures by the League Management Company (LMC) to enforce compliance to the league rules by all participating clubs and their players.

These decisions were conveyed to the various parties through letters signed by Salihu Abubakar, the Chief Operating Officer of the LMC. He said the LMC has a duty to call every individual and club to order to serve as deterrent to others who may find themselves in similar situations.

In these latest disciplinary measures carried out in exercise of Summary Jurisdiction, a fine of N250, 000 has been imposed on Warri Wolves for the encroachment on to the field of play by its officials and substitute players. The Club’s Team Manager, Gordon Ogbe was also fined N50, 000 and suspended from one match for exhibiting several acts of misconduct and “failing to set positive example for others and showing disrespect to the Match Officials by leading a confrontation that delayed the Match Officials from gaining access to the changing room”

Midfielder, Ikechukwu Ibenegbu was also handed an additional one match ban to the automatic ban arising from his expulsion in the match against 3SC and fined N50, 000 for “several acts of misconduct including showing disregard for the authority and decision of the Referee by refusing to leave the field after being issued a red car and violently pushing his fingers into the eye of the Referee”. The LMC held that the action of the player was not in the best interest of the game and “failed to comply with the principles of fair play, sportsmanship, the rules and regulations governing the league and acting in a manner capable of bringing the league to disrepute”.

In a related development, FC Taraba and its Welfare Officer, Fada Dennis have opted to appear the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Disciplinary Committee to defend themselves on the charge of assault on Match Referee in their Match Day 14 fixture against Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC).

When the Nigeria Premier League started in January, hopes were high, every football loving person in the state believed the team's sojourn back in the apex division will be fruitful as delivering a continental ticket was on the lips of all and sundry.

This evidently affected the Harmony Boys preparation towards the Premier league as they got the Nigeria Football Federation nod late while the Samson Unualel technical crew and the club's management also parted ways, giving way to a new crew with Tunde Abdulrahman as the arrow head.
