Daily Independent (Lagos) Tony Ezimakor 15 June 2011 Abuja — Board members of Nigeria Football Federation demonstrated stack ignorance of the problem which it faced in the protracted crisis in the house of football as the emergency meeting summoned by the Director General of National Sport Commission (NSC), Patrick Ekeji got up to a dramatic start Wednesday in Abuja. The meeting had hardly started when the combat-ready NFF board members insisted that it would not participate in the singing of the national anthem unless its objection to participants invited for the meeting was accepted by the Director General.

The Nigeria Football Association has dispatched to world football-governing body FIFA, a list of 30 players as Nigeria’s provisional list for the FIFA U-20 World Cup taking place in Colombia from 29th July – 20th August, 2011.

The list includes 17 of the 19 who were part of the triumph at the African Youth Championship in South Africa, led by Captain Ramon Azeez.

Impressive goalkeeper Danjuma Paul is listed alongside Uche Nwofor, Chidi Osuchukwu, Olanrewaju Kayode, Edafe Egbedi, Ganiu Ogungbe, Stanley Okoro, Philemon Daniel, Abdul Jeleel Ajagun, Terry Envoh, Mohammed Aliyu, Gideon Gambo, Terna Suswan, Ahmed Musa, Gbenga Arokoyo and Emmanuel Anyanwu.

Omoh Ojabu, Kenneth Omeruo, Sani Emmanuel and Eddy Onazi are no strangers as they were part of the squad that reached the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup hosted by Nigeria in 2009.
