THE RESIGNATION COME AFTER MANY YEARS OF BAD RESULTS. SUPER EAGLES, SUPER FALCONS, AND AGE GRADE TEAMS NO QUALIFY FOR IMPORTANT TOURNAMENTS. FANS, EX-PLAYERS AND PEOPLE WEY LOVE FOOTBALL DON TIRE. DEM DEY COMPLAIN ABOUT BAD PLANNING, GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE, MONEY ISSUE AND SAY NO CLEAR PLAN FOR YOUNG PLAYERS

NPFL AND OTHER LOCAL LEAGUES DEY STRUGGLE WITH MONEY, BAD ORGANIZATION AND EMPTY STADIUM. DEM GO WORK TO MAKE THE LEAGUE STRONG AND MAKE MONEY ENTER AM.

PLENTY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE MONEY DEY ENTER FOOTBALL. TINUBU SAY DEM MUST OPEN BOOK. BUDGET, CONTRACT AND APPOINTMENT MUST CLEAR.

FOR RECENT YEARS, NIGERIA FOOTBALL DON GO DOWN. SUPER EAGLES MISS AFCON AND WORLD CUP. AGE GRADE TEAMS TOO NO DO WELL. LOCAL LEAGUE DEY LOSE BEST PLAYERS TO ABROAD.

BUT OTHER SPORTS UNDER NATIONAL SPORTS COMMISSION DON START IMPROVE AFTER DEM RESTRUCTURE AM. THAT NA WHY TINUBU SAY FOOTBALL TOO NEED SAME TREATMENT.

FOOTBALL NA MORE THAN GAME FOR NIGERIA. WHEN MATCH DEY, WHOLE COUNTRY DEY WATCH. SO WHEN TEAM DEY FAIL, PEOPLE GO ANGRY

PRESIDENCY NO TALK WHO GO LEAD THE REFORM OR HOW LONG E GO TAKE. BUT BECAUSE NFF EXECUTIVE DON DISSOLVE, DEM GO NEED TO SET UP INTERIM TEAM TO RUN THINGS WHILE DEM PLAN THE REFORM.

PEOPLE EXPECT SAY DEM GO TALK WITH FIFA, CAF, CLUB OWNERS, PLAYERS UNION AND STATE FA BEFORE DEM WRITE NEW RULES. BECAUSE FIFA RULE SAY GOVERNMENT NO GO CONTROL FOOTBALL DIRECTLY, DEM GO WALK CAREFULLY SO THAT SANCTION NO GO COME.

FOOTBALL ANALYSTS TALK SAY IF NA JUST TO CHANGE PEOPLE FOR TOP, NOTHING GO CHANGE. DEM SAY MAKE DEM FIX FUNDING, INFRASTRUCTURE AND GRASSROOTS TOO

SOME EX-PLAYERS HAPPY. DEM SAY FOOTBALL NEED “RESET FROM FOUNDATION”.
SOME OTHERS SAY MAKE DEM NO JUST DEY CHANGE LEADERS EVERY TIME WITHOUT FIXING REAL PROBLEM
