The Government must have paid a huge sum to the NFF to drag this game to Benin all in the name of celebrating a second term swearing in.

Will there be Covid19 rules and guidelines? I doubt so.

Will there be adequate security considering the number of prisoners freed from various correctional centers in the state? I doubt so.


The Government and NFF will be endangering the lives of nigerians all because of a brown envelope that has exchanged hands.

No.
Not for now.
Not even in Nigeria.
