The world governing body overseeing association football around the world FIFA, has threatened to ban Nigeria from association football until her next congress which would hold next year May. This is as a result of the court verdict last week that ousted the new board of NFF led by Amaju Pinnick, the verdict was pursued by Chris Giwa who seems hell bent on becoming the head of football association in Nigeria.
The immediate consequence of this decision is that, Nigeria would not be allowed to play the rest of her matches to contest for slots in the proposed AFCON next year which in itself is having issues due to ebola virus disease. The head of CAF claimed that FIFA almost truncated Nigeria's falcons from playing against Cameroon on saturday which we won, but had to plead with FIFA to allow the game go as scheduled and drop the hammer the incoming week which is today. The court case and decision must be withdrawn today to avoid FIFA's hammer
