'Okocha, Ikpeba are area boys' - Dr. Amos Adamu + his FIFA 'bribery' Scandal

















 “The so called stakeholders of football are the problems of Nigerian football and not I, Adamu. It’s disappointing to see Okocha and Ikpeba conducting themselves as Area Boys (social miscreants). How can I be talking about football with those who did not even go to school or bar men, whose duties are to sell beer? Can ...David Beckham carry placard to protest the administration of football in his country?” - Dr. Amos Adamu

 Dr. Amos Adamu was Director General of the Nigerian National Sports Commission for ten years before being dismissed in November 2008. He is a member of FIFA’s 24-man executive committee.

On 17 October 2010, It was reported in the UK Sunday Times that he allegedly agreed to receive £500,000 in order to influence the voting procedure with his vote for the 2018 FIFA World Cup bid, although associates close to Amos Adamu say he reported his meeting with the supposed USA Bid team lobbyists to FIFA prior to, and after.

  4. Dr. Amos you are right, David Beckham will not carry placard in his country; because his country does not run FA the way you and yoyr cohorts run or rather ruin FA in Nigeria.
