Nigeria coach Eucharia Uche has created a controversy by calling homosexuality as dirty. Although Uche says she has no proof that there are any gay players in the Super Falcons team, in the past she has brought in pentecostal priests to pray and offer her team guidance on the issue.

Before Uche took charge in 2009, players are reported to have been thrown out of the Nigerian side under suspicion of being lesbians, claim Bild.

Peterside Idah has said that the future is looking bright for Nigerian football in the next few days.

Speaking with NationSport in Soweto after Nigeria defeated Cameroon 3-2 in the final of the 17th edition of the African Youth Championship (AYC), Idah noted that the victory over Cameroon did not come on a platter of gold.

The Nigeria Football Federation has said that there will be a formal complaint made against the postponement of the tournament in USA to FIFA.

The Super Eagles had arrived in Dallas, Texas only to be told the tournament had been put off for another two weeks.

The Nigeria team is now on its way back to Nigeria without playing a single game.

Coach Samson Siasia had planned to use the tourney to pick home-based players who could make the national team.

Organisers blamed the postponement on the tournament's ticketing system.

The Nigeria Football Association (NFA) are set to decide on the next month’s 2012 ACN qualifiers against Ethiopia. Speculations have been rife that the match slated for March 27 will now be played in Kaduna, but the NFA general secretary, Musa Amadu, said a decision has yet to be taken.

“A decision has not yet been taken to move the game from Lagos. So, the venue remains Lagos,” said Amadu.

“However, I know that the players have complained about the artificial pitch in Lagos and in the next few days, we hope to take a decision in the best interest of the team.”

A number of Nigerian officials have been questioned after allegations over a scam. EFCC operatives on Friday morning stormed the NPL office in Abuja to serve notice on the officials.

“They have been ordered to report to the EFCC office in Abuja immediately. They are to answer allegations of mismanagement of revenue accruing from the sale of television rights on behalf of the NPL,” disclosed a top official.

The crisis happening in Nigeria has shown no signs of ending thus disrupting the Nigerian football massively. The round leather game has been hit by crisis after crisis in recent times with the trend becoming worse in the last two years.

If it’s not members of the football federation slugging it out with one another over travel allowances or positions within in-house committees, it will be the NFF engaging in a war of words with other members of the football community. The second half of 2010 was particularly plagued by crises, which made nonsense of any efforts to administer the game.

Nigeria has decided to probe into suspended FIFA executive Adamu corruption claims. Last month, Adamu was suspended by FIFA for three years and fined 100,000 Swiss Francs (105,000 dollars) for breaching the code of ethics of the world football governing body over cash-for-vote allegations in respect of the hosting bid for the 2018 World Cup.

'The investigations are on and we do not know when it will be completed,' EFCC spokesman Femi Babafemi said.

The Nigerian football Federation has announced that it will be conducting elections very soon in the country. The delay in the conduct of elections into the boards of the state football associations before elections into the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation last August raised dust, with some stakeholders calling for the sack of the last NFF leadership.

John Obi Mikel is keen for this to be resolved.

They equally demanded that the state football association elections be held before the NFF Executive Committee election.

Nigeria's Oruma has retired from football. Oruma made his breakthrough on the international scene when he played for the Nigerian side that won the under-17 world title in 1993 and three years later he was part of the Nigerian side that won the Olympic title in Atlanta.
