How Pinnick-led Board Stops Us From Helping Future Eagles Of Nigeria - MeesPalace

By Our Reporter

The future is not looking good for the Future Eagles of Nigeria as the Amaju Pinnick led board is about destroying the existence of the national under 15 male football team.

Philanthropist and football aficionado, Emmanuel Adukwu stated that, he did everything since 2019 to assist the Future Eagles of Nigeria without any success.

The Meespalace football academy boss who hosted the first ever scouting mission for the Future Eagles in 2020 at various centers in Jos, Plateau state stated in clear terms that hosting and camping the Future Eagles is at no cost to the NFF.

"Yes sir! Twice a year I offered to camp the team during the holidays! This is documented and in writing too" Adukwu stated.

According to report, Adukwu also admitted offering to host the future Eagles, all-expenses camp exercise in 2021 and this year but on each occasion he was turned away.

"It became embroiled in too much tossing up and down from one department to the other, at some point I was asked to go through the Plateau state FA which we did, It still did not see the light of day!"

Adukwu expressed disappointment over how he was being tossed around with so much disrespect.  

Remo stars owner, Kunle Shoname was said to have also accepted to host the team however he suffered same fate.

"But there are some members of this current NFF Board. Who did their ultimate best to make this happen. Unfortunately they were too few in Number and ultimately it did not fly". Said Adukwu 

With less than three weeks to the start of the Africa Youth Games in Egypt, it is worrisome to see Amaju Pinnick and his co travellers refusing an offer that would have prepared the Future Eagles ahead of the games.

It is often said that once Amaju Pinnick ask you to go through your state FA, that is a clear sign the the NFF are not interested in your offer. 

It is still strange to see an NFF that complains about being cash-strapped refusing a free opportunity that cost nothing. 

Emmanuel Adukwu and Kunle Shoname offered their money, and facilities, to help the country and yet they were not appreciated.
