NFF May 29th Is Gone, Yet the Authentic Nike Jersey Is Not Available. It is Time to uncover the Truth Behind this Evil Nike Deal


NFF
NFF where are your faces? May 29 is gone! Nigerian traders make brisk business from sale of Super Eagles Jerseys even as NFF keep fans waiting. By Wale Ajayi Precisely two weeks ago, there were stories making the rounds, that Nigeria's kit sponsors, Nike, have announced a pre-order of over three million Jerseys ahead of the official release of the new designs which will hit the market on May 29, 2018, 18 days before Nigeria's first world cup match with Croatia. The second paragraph this story confirming, a breakthrough in Jersey sales reads .... 'According to the Nigeria Football Federation, the country’s jersey has already received 3 million pre-orders, breaking the record for an African team and even some of the world’s biggest clubs. Though NIKE, the jersey’s official manufacturer, has yet to confirm the news independently, the NFF claims Nike revealed the figure during a meeting at its Europe headquarters in Amsterdam.... One week after this well celebrated story, NIKE, on it's official website, denied receiving any formal orders for Nigeria jerseys but gave credence to the official release date of May 29, 2018. Tuesday, that is yesterday was May 29, meaning the jerseys are supposed to have hit the stands, but as at Wednesday morning anxious Nigerians are still in the dark not knowing who to call. Put at an exorbitant price of 43,000 naira, thousands of fans home and abroad are still very keen to buy but it now seem like all promises made before now, were huge fallacies. Well, even as the anxious wait continues, there seem to be no light at the end of the tunnel because nothing seem realistic till this moment. What is however very feasible is that, a few wise Nigerians, have played on the weakness of the NFF to make huge business out of a branded product. The youngman in this video says he took the bold step of importing thousands of high quality NIKE branded Nigeria jerseys from Thailand. He is so proud of the wisdom behind this initiative, claiming that he has sold thousands of the jerseys in only a short time and will be hoping to sell more as Nigeria progress from the group stage, to the second round, quarter, semi and finals of the world cup. Tall dream you may want to say but can you blame him? He has got every right to dream where others are awake making unfulfilled promises to their gullible loyalists who will forever swallow all their stories without asking a wise question. The time to uncover the truth behind this evil Nike deal is now!
